Chapter 200 Siege
Chapter 200: Attacking the City
The generals around Macheng laughed louder. The pit that stretched for fifty or sixty miles was filled slowly. They could not fill it up even if they were exhausted. The Han general knew that it was wrong and had no choice but to ask for help.
Half an hour later, the Jiannu cavalry drove a large number of civilians, miscellaneous soldiers and auxiliary soldiers to come forward, replacing the exhausted Han army. The miscellaneous soldiers, most of them were Han people, Koreans and Mongolians.
All kinds of people are mixed.
However, digging a hole is easy to fill it, so the Yi soldiers deliberately moved all the earth away when digging a hole, and there is no soil to fill it.
The miscellaneous soldiers and auxiliary soldiers were at a loss. They were chopped over by the irritable Jiannu flag soldiers, and then they swung their hoes in a swarm, digging the pickaxe to get the soil, and a large group of auxiliary soldiers rushed into the mountains and forests. Then, a shrill sounded in the mountains and forests.
The screams, various traps, and beast traps were triggered in large numbers, and the casualties were killed and injured. The auxiliary soldiers covered in blood escaped from the forest chief in a hurry and were shot to the ground by the supervisor's Eight Banners soldiers.
In the hell on earth, the auxiliary soldiers who died tragically were filled with bloody corpses everywhere.
The left and right generals of Macheng, and the soldiers' smiles were restrained and they shivered. This was the end of being a slave. Life was worse than death, and people were worse than dogs. Macheng knew that during this period, the Eight Banners soldiers were still in a group.
The Jianhua savages killed a lot, and it was not without reason that the Liao people resisted so fiercely. When Huang Taiji used a large number of Han officials and the killing was Huairou, this situation gradually changed and the Liao people gradually turned to Jiannu.
This period was a critical period when the Ming Dynasty and Jiannu fought against each other and won the hearts of the people. Huang Taiji was not going well. It was not easy to use Han officials and restrain the Eight Banners soldiers to put away their murder and plunder. This is a big and small area in Liaodong.
The landlords' armed forces and rebellions of all sizes are enough for him to have a headache. After figuring this out, the garrison of Pi Island will be even more important.
He turned his head and whispered to Qi Jin: "People are determined, brother, remember, remember."
Qi Jin nodded in understanding it. It was a good way to make harassment the norm and make Liaodong under Jiannu uneasy. Macheng is lazy to go down the mountain and let Jiannu fill the pit slowly.
There are still roads that need to be filled in, and it can’t be filled in any way within one or two days. The most urgent thing is to capture Haizhou first. The weather is not up to everyone’s wishes, and the weather is still dry and there is no sign of rain. Macheng had to destroy the dam in advance and release water. The dam was dam in advance.
Once destroyed, the sand river water swept down the river bank and poured into Haizhou City with omnipresent holes. The effect was extremely poor. Not only did it not collapse the city wall, but the water could only be lost. It only made the defenders in the city unable to move and needed to walk.
Roll up your trousers.
God refused to help, and Ma Cheng could not imagine that he would attack the city in large numbers.
Tens of thousands of righteous soldiers were overwhelmed and excited, fighting against the newly built ladder, rushing cars, shield cars, and various siege equipment were ready to attack the city. Ma Cheng was hard-working, and no matter how many times he did, he just ordered tens of thousands of righteous soldiers.
An ancient brain rushed forward, and attacked the four walls on both sides, regardless of the main and secondary. The four city gates were the focus of the attack. Those who opened the city gates would reward a thousand taels of silver and seal a thousand households. Under the heavy reward, the righteous soldiers even sharpened their swords.
.
But Ma Cheng knew that the city gate was not so easy to open, and the Jin and Ming troops were unable to fight in the field, so it was still very good to defend the city.
All four gates have suspension bridges, and the doors must be blocked with earthblocks. There are also many cannons and small cannons on the top of the city, which poses a great threat to the siege soldiers. The Zhenjiang infantry was in Kaiyuan without expression.
The veterans organized a military law team, pressing a sword in his hand, holding a crossbow and following the charge, and some escapees were killed immediately. This was the first time that Macheng used such a cruel cannon fodder to attack the city, but Qi Jin and others looked as usual, obviously not feeling it.
How cruel.
In the afternoon, a siege was launched.
Hundreds of armored cavalry sped out of the central army, cheering trembling, and even Haizhou City seemed to be trembling.
Horse City is not stupid enough to attack the city with cavalry. Hundreds of iron cavalry dragged a large amount of wet firewood that was prone to smoke, and rushed out with fire-driven objects, and broke the rope one mile from the city gate.
The defenders were extremely calm and did not fire the cannon blindly under the scolding of the officers, which disappointed the horse city and grew up. The hundreds of cavalrymen did their own things, throwing fire-driven objects from the horses and creating a bonfire.
The wet firewood is very difficult to ignite, and a bag of gunpowder is sprinkled on it, and wolf smoke is everywhere.
After a while, the periphery of Haizhou was covered with thick smoke, and soon even Haizhou City could not see clearly. Ma Cheng pulled out his battle knife, waved his flag, and tens of thousands of righteous soldiers rushed into the thick smoke.
Even if you rush forward, it was Haizhou City. The defenders at Haizhou City were dumbfounded. They held a torch and didn't know whether to fire the cannon. They were filled with thick smoke everywhere, and they didn't know where to shoot the cannon. Qi Jinzhong
I was so stupid that I had never heard of such a tactic.
His own soldiers, as well as the defenders, have become blind. In fact, their own soldiers have taken advantage of it. Haizhou City is right in front. A large city will never run away. Just rush into the smoke, but never
As for the city walls that were several feet high, they could not see even the city walls. The defenders turned blind and could not see anything half a mile away. They could only shoot cannons and burst into flames. There was another beauty, thick smoke.
Among them, the soldiers could only see the scenes coming out nearby and would not be defeated due to a large number of casualties.
The generals were stunned. Ma Cheng just grinned, is it a must-have for siege?
The sound of cannons rumbling and the sound of killing shocked the sky, and the four gates of Jiangzhou were in a bloody battle.
Macheng led three thousand cavalry, and five thousand Zhenjiang infantry remained unmoved. Occasionally, a few shells flew over, and the infantry was in an uproar and was ruthlessly suppressed by the military judge.
After a long time, the smoke dissipated and the vision gradually became clear.
A shocking scene, the walls of Haizhou City were covered with people, densely packed, as if they had flooded the city. The defenders on the city were in a state of dissatisfaction, and many of them were fighting fiercely outside the city.
Another situation was another. A large number of Yi soldiers threw down their hoes and fled with sickles. They were ruthlessly shot down by the military law team that followed. The way was cut off, and a large number of Yi soldiers rushed back again.
There are also bloody men, who bit their knives, axes, and use their hands and feet together, and climb desperately.
Qi Jin smiled easily and said, "After this battle, you can get 10,000 or 20,000 elite soldiers."
Ma Cheng said nothing, watching the Yi soldiers on the top of the city were powerless and were killed by the brave Jiannu heavy infantry. As the real slave joined the defending city, the Yi soldiers were only slaughtered. The situation of the battle reversed instantly. Military law
Seeing that the team could no longer suppress it, Ma Cheng moaned in pain. The siege battle in this era was really not something that humans could fight, five times or ten times more than the enemy and even defeated them.
At this time, the east gate of Jiangzhou suddenly opened wide and the suspension bridge fell down with a bang.
A team of Han army uniforms were slashing and killing, occupying the East City Gate. Horse City was ecstatic. The war was always full of various accidents and uncertainties. It should be that a Han army in the city pulled the flag and rebelled. The key
It played a great role at all times. No longer hesitated, and slowly accelerated by clamping the horse's belly. The war horse spread its four hooves and began to run wildly. The left and right Atomics, Zhejiang soldiers and Sichuan soldiers lined up in three columns to accelerate over the commander. (Unfinished
