Chapter 977: Attacking the City

Gaochang, the alarm bell kept ringing, and the alarm horn sounded, but it was no longer as good as precautions.

The Turpan Basin rushed out of the Gobi desert. The cavalry rushed down dozens of miles away. The Gaochang defenders had no time to respond, so they were rushed to the city by the rolling iron cavalry. The alarm bells were heard, and a large number of guards wearing long robes and leather armor were heard.

The army rushed up the city walls one meter high, and the earthen castle two or three meter high, shooting arrows outside in a mess. However, Gaochang was not really a strong city.

Gaochang has had frequent wars for hundreds of years.

Two hundred years ago, the Khanate of the Golden Chamber collapsed, and Gaochang was in the Ming Dynasty. The Mongolian tribes changed hands several times, and the years of war had already been ruined. The eight thousand Ming cavalry spread out in the flat terrain east of Gaochang and rushed to the city of Gaochang with a thunderous force.

The fierce battle suddenly broke out, and the Ming rider held a musket and rushed to the edge of the earth wall with arrows. He aimed at the low earth wall and a gun was made.

Kaiyuan Iron Cavalry revealed the latest product of the Ming Dynasty military industry, the first professional cavalry musket in the Ming Dynasty, which is called the steamer horse gun in the army. This new type of musket is still a rotary wheel fire, and a small amount of manufacturing is dedicated to cavalry.

In the use of horse war, the Ming craftsmen cut off the infantry short muskets that were convenient for mountain warfare and thickened the barrel, which looked like a small spray barrel.

The barrel was cut off and thickened again, the range was reduced, but the operation was easier.

This musket looks very strange in appearance, and the thick and short body looks very simple in structure. However, its large diameter, extremely light weight, and exquisite workmanship make it a weapon specifically used for horse warfare.

, the larger muzzle and fixed gunpowder are concentrated on a musket, making it very easy to load the musket.

Fifty steps are the best killing distance for this musket.

The 100-step-long military battle can also increase the loading volume to increase the range. Naturally, the loading volume increases and the strength of the gun barrel is higher. This is the military industry that took off in the Ming Dynasty.

The masterpiece developed with great effort is now only a small amount of equipment in the Ming army. Kaiyuan Iron Cavalry is naturally the most preferred equipment brigade.

With the sound of guns, the Ming Dynasty cavalry rushed to the wall and fired the gun.

On the ten-meter-high earth wall, more and more Gaochang defenders were trying to shoot arrows. At this time, the Gaochang city gate fell down. A group of defenders destroyed the winch when they saw that the situation was not good. The heavy city gate fell down. Gaochang

The city gate turned out to be a Western-style structure, similar to the Ming Dynasty's thousand-jin gate. In an emergency, the ropes can be cut off, but once they fall, they cannot be lifted.

Behind him, Ma Can was very dissatisfied when he saw that the army had not rushed into the city in one breath.

Beside him, all the generals and officials looked ashamed. The invincible Kaiyuan Iron Cavalry was blocked by a low earth wall for a moment. This was humiliation. I think that Gaochang has been in war for many years, and the guards are very vigilant.

The Ming army's plan to ride horses into the city was dashed. The two young battalions were very ashamed. They roared and each led a whistle to fly out, dismounted, put on armor, and fought in the middle of the battle.

On the front line, I saw a large number of Ming cavalry waving the Red Army flag, cursing and retreating, and then turned over and dismounted from the range of the guards' crossbow. However, in just a quarter of an hour, the iron cavalry that was dismounted and fought again,

Put on armor, lifted the sword and shield, lined up neatly with grab hooks on his back, and strode forward. The strong and brave soldiers, pairs of military boots, rustled on the ground.

Ma Can rode on the horse, looking at the rows of mighty and mighty soldiers in front of him, and felt proud. This was the invincible heroic army handed over to him by his brother, the eight thousand Kaiyuan Iron Cavalry, which was revealed in front of the Gaochang defenders.

Ma Can was not here to attack with sharp fangs. This young general who was good at using surprise soldiers and the rising star in the Ming army came to sweep the Western Regions.

When the troops are approaching Gaochang, Ma Can doesn’t have to hide it anymore. He waves his hand and attacks again.

The Sun and Moon Army flag was rolled upside down, and a large number of cavalrymen on both wings saw the flag and rushed to the earthen wall again. They rushed closer to the dense defenders on the earthen wall and shot a gun. After the attack, they shot the horse and bypassed it and bit it away.

Put on gunpowder, load it up, and then another gun was rushed forward. Fierce battles were fought fiercely on the wall, arrows and guns flew across the low earth wall, splashing dust in the sky. Gaochang defenders were forced to head towards

The cavalry rushed over and shot arrows, and could only watch the rows of armored feet getting closer and closer.

The infantry and cavalry cooperate, and the Kaiyuan iron tools operate smoothly and freely.

The light cavalry rushed up to harass, fired guns, attracted the firepower of the defenders, and took the opportunity to push forward. The Gaochang defenders had never seen the cooperation between infantry and cavalry. In the panic, they were in chaos and pulled the bow desperately.

Archery.

The light cavalry rushed up and shot several rounds of muskets. The armored infantryman had advanced within a hundred steps behind him.

Whoosh swish swish swish!

At this time, several thick javelins suddenly shot out from an arrow tower.

Thick javelins shot out continuously. The panicked Gaochang defenders remembered that there were various defense facilities in the city. Ma Can grinned his mouth. He was really a barbarian. This Western Regions land was still there.

There are city guarding equipment such as bed crossbows that are behind the times. I guess there are also Huihui cannons, but Huihui cannons and catapults are very inconvenient to use, and the defenders have not yet started.

More than ten thick and long javelins were shot out continuously, and several Ming soldiers were shot overturned.

Seeing the blood, it inspired the bravery and fierceness of the Kaiyuan Iron Cavalry. One hundred steps. There were suddenly some Ming troops holding muskets in the infantry squad. They stopped, knelt on one knee and set up muskets, aiming at the earth wall.

After a messy gun sound, the defenders on the low earth wall fell into pieces. The Gaochang defenders did not expect that the Ming army would have such a trick. They were poking out most of their bodies and shooting arrows down desperately.

The defenders fell in large numbers.

Those shooting techniques were extremely accurate, mixed in the infantry brigade without showing any mountains or water, and suddenly attacked, and the sound of gunfire suddenly started, and the defenders on the earthen walls fell like dumplings.

"kill!"

The armored warrior took the opportunity to hang his waist, lowered his hair and ran wildly, and rushed towards the city wall.

Amid the roar, more than ten officers dressed in brightly armored and holding battle knives rushed to the front, and rows of soldiers howled and rushed through a hundred steps away.

"fly!"

An officer was roaring with a few arrows in his body, but hesitated as if nothing had happened.

Whoosh swish swish swish!

One by one, one hook claw flew out of the horizontal line and flew up to the city wall. Screams came one after another. Many defenders were actually caught by the hook claws. The sharp hook claws tightened violently, and the defenders who were panicking and screaming

He couldn't help but was dragged outside the wall like a cloud and a fog.

"superior!"

The hook claws tightly and tightly clamped against the city wall. The soldiers in red were holding knives and climbed up with their hands and feet with ropes. In a blink of an eye, another row of Ming troops rushed under the wall, and another hook claw was swung.

When you go out, you have strong troops in the world, and there are few people who specialize in training flying claws to attack the city. Unfortunately, everyone in Kaiyuan Iron Cavalry is a good player in Feizhu climbing. Climbing is the training subject of Kaiyuan Iron Cavalry.

Since Ma Can took over Kaiyuan Iron Cavalry, the subject of flying claws climbing the city has been practiced more frequently. The concept of building a military at the beginning of the founding of the army in Ma City has been achieved. Now Kaiyuan Iron Cavalry has all possessed a variety of combat skills.
