When the old ammunition in stock was delivered again, the Han army flag had already reached a distance of ten meters.
"The musketeers go down and continue shooting at the firing port on the first floor." Zhou Yuji ordered. "The swordsmen and axemen, go up the wall."
After the order was given, a large number of swordsmen went up to the upper level to garrison, while the musketeers climbed down the springboard and entered the lower level. There is a small shooting port on the steel plate wall here that can pull out the cover. The musketeers can continue to shoot outwards here.
The axemen, on the other hand, use sharp halberds and royal swords to kill enemies who try to climb the wall.
At this time, a large number of Han military flags had gathered under the city wall, and they were trying to climb the city using the recommended ladders.
Zhou Yuji saw this situation and ordered: "Throw out all the gunpowder packets."
There aren't many gunpowder packs left. The current situation is critical and it's better to use it than to save it. There is no need to be reluctant at this time. Zhou Yuji has always been decisive in killing.
The Mongols were making noise outside the wall and used various weapons to try to break open the corrugated steel plate wall. The smashing made a loud noise. Unfortunately, the three-millimeter steel plate was not easy to break open. Apart from making huge noises and vibrations, there was no obvious effect.
.
Then more than 700 gunpowder packets were ignited and thrown out using trebuchets.
These gunpowder bags are all wrapped in cowhide, with a layer of steel slag on the outside and a layer of rawhide on the outside. Each one is made with a trebuchet and weighs one hundred kilograms. Among them, sixty kilograms of gunpowder and twenty steel slag
Five pounds.
A trebuchet can hold two gunpowder packets at a time, and fifty trebuchets can throw a hundred powder packets at a time. Basically, all of them will be thrown out after seven throws.
These gunpowder packets drew a parabola and fell into the Han army flags gathered in a group of hedgehogs.
Boom boom boom! Fireballs rose up one after another, and huge explosions swept everything within a few dozen meters.
These gunpowder packets are very powerful. Especially the huge shock wave blew up more than a dozen people around them. Their limbs were broken and scattered in all directions. A hot air mass drowned people. Twenty kilograms of steel slag turned into shrapnel and flew around at high speed.
go.
In an explosion of this level, the high speed and cutting power of steel slag far exceed that of artillery shells. Looking down from the mountain where Zhou Yuji and Chongzhen were, we could see that as the trebuchets continued to fire, one after another fireballs were hitting the dense crowd.
Exploded.
The flames and steel slag swept across everything. The people around him fell one by one like cut wheat.
Seven hundred explosive packets were launched in seven rounds. The dense crowd around the camp was quickly cleared. The ground was littered with broken limbs and huge craters one after another.
Ten armors and 15,000 Han army flags had been killed and more than half of them had been killed so far. These explosions completely destroyed their will to fight. No one knew who it was, and they shouted, and the entire army collapsed in an instant. Everyone turned around and went back.
run.
They have never experienced such a cruel battle. No matter how thick the armor a person wears, it is completely insignificant in the face of such a big explosion. They are just cannon fodder and numbers.
It was so fierce when it hit, and it's so embarrassing now when it comes back.
Li Yongfang sighed and did not stop the rebels. The rebels were like savage beasts at this time. They could only be guided, but never suppressed.
Immediately, the second wave of Han military flags was launched. Fifteen thousand people rushed forward, shouting again.
Zhou Yuji used his binoculars to look at the second wave of Han army flag armor soldiers rushing up, as well as the third wave of soldiers that could rush up at any time.
"Open the gun window, fire three rounds of solid ammunition, and then divide the adjacent artillery into five groups and shoot in turn." Zhou Yuji ordered.
The second wave of attacking troops has not yet entered the starting position.
I saw a large group of officers and soldiers who were attacking in the first wave, running down in horror. Their formation was almost disrupted. These people passed by the broken troops and rushed forward again.
These broken soldiers were finished. Their eyes were dull and their expressions were horrified. They had completely lost their combat effectiveness. These big explosions scared them silly.
The ten Jia La who attacked in the second wave were fresh troops. They waited until the trebuchets stopped throwing powder packets before launching the charge. The trebuchets stopped throwing powder packets and started throwing stones again. They believed that those terrifying powder packets
It must have been used up.
Otherwise, the Shenji Battalion will not stop projecting.
This gave them great confidence. They ran madly towards the hill and towards the steel city. As they ran, they drew their bows and shot arrows, shooting into the city of Shenji Camp.
For a time, arrows were shooting everywhere in the camp like locusts.
Jin Yiwei quickly opened a huge umbrella cover to protect the emperor's safety. The umbrella's cover was made of stab-proof fabric, so it was a very good choice to deal with stray arrows flying randomly on the battlefield.
The second wave rushed up and avoided many pitfalls that the first wave had stepped on.
Huang Taiji was very satisfied with Li Yongfang's thorough execution of his orders. This kind of behavior that did not involve casualties but also implemented his will was what he liked to see.
Huang Taiji was deeply shocked just now when he saw the packages thrown by the trebuchets exploded into such huge fireballs. More than 10,000 people were killed by these thrown packages.
Obviously, they were just acting according to their own nature. Such an explosion made even Huang Taiji stand up in shock, and naturally these soldiers could not remain calm.
The second wave launched the attack again with great momentum. This time, the gunfire on the city wall was sparse until it completely disappeared. They could not understand or understand what happened to the Ming Dynasty.
It wasn't until they rushed to the bottom of the city that they discovered that the musketeers had already descended to the first floor. Small windows suddenly opened on the steel walls. The muzzles of the Rumi guns were stretched out again, and then,
There was a volley of shots.
The unsuspecting Han army flag officers and soldiers who were setting up ladders fell down in large pieces again.
They were stunned and couldn't find where the gun was fired for a while. After several rounds of firing, they finally discovered the shooting port on the steel plate wall.
However, there were a lot of thieves in the second wave. They had already chosen to slow down the attack and fell behind.
These people determined that Yang Fan must have a back-up plan. Therefore, they must not rush to the front.
Under the impact of the second wave of fresh troops, Checheng was like a violent wave crashing on a rock. It was nerve-wracking to watch. People rushed up in waves, fighting with long pole weapons and knives and axes on the wall. These people were all
They are Li Yongfang's elite troops.
They threw flying claws and other weapons to hook the city wall, and then climbed up. However, the people on the wall used long knives and hammers to kill the Han army flags who tried to climb up.
As the two sides fought fiercely, the carriages in the camp changed color.
