Chapter 986 Offense and Defense
On the bank of the Yellow River, He Kegang turned over and hugged Ni Yuanlu and smiled: "Mr. Ni, please, He is here!"
Ni Yuanlu had already told him that even if the army in the Western Expedition was dead, he would not hurt the governor's hair. He Kegang was serious and flew to the Yellow River Ferry. Behind him, there was a little chaotic Liao Qixin.
The army lined up under the reprimand of the officers and soldiers, leading the horses to cross the river. The 20,000 new Liao cavalry army that was in battle for the first time, although it was a little immature, it had the desire to fight and should not be underestimated.
Night, Zhangye City.
The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the sound of chaotic footsteps sounds outside the city, and the sound of weapons colliding.
Behind the broken city wall, Ding Wenchao seemed unmoved. He had long expected that the Tatars would fight to fight with trapped beasts and not breaking Zhangye. How could the Tatars support the war? In this wealthy Hexi land, food, grass, and wealth are mostly concentrated in several places.
In a strong city, all the Tatar soldiers were afraid that they would look at the broken Zhangye City and their eyes were almost glaring out. Only when Zhangye was broken, these tens of thousands of Tatar soldiers had the capital to continue fighting.
He smiled, and since he expected the enemy to be unprepared for the first time, he had prepared a large firework for the Tartar soldiers.
On the broken city wall, the dead soldiers who received heavy rewards frequently sent signals, three miles, two miles, one mile, the Tatars went crazy, and began to run wildly all over the mountains and fields, regardless of the main or secondary along the city wall, the entire city gate attacked fiercely. Look
This situation is to break the city in one fell swoop.
"Five hundred steps!"
The top of the head, the dead soldier held up the torch and shouted loudly.
Ding Wenchao suddenly grew up and shook his military uniform. The guard general Li Rong sweated on his forehead and shouted loudly, urging Minzhuang to push a large number of rocket cars up. The rockets moved out of various warehouses were transported to the holes.
At the city gate, there were piles randomly at the gap in the collapsed city wall. The night was so sad that the Tatars outside the city knew nothing, and the sound of the desolate horns was a bit shrill.
"Three hundred steps!"
Amid the roar, a group of bloody young people rushed out of the city gate with torches, lit the piles of rockets and ran away, rolling and crawling back to the city gate. A flash of fire, and countless fireworks were fired in the outer city of Zhangye.
Covered by the city of Zhangye, rockets that had been stockpiled for countless years and were launched in concentrated areas. The spectacular scene made many young and strong Hexi who had never seen rockets defending the enemy, stunned.
Whoosh swish swish swish!
The fire danced silver snake, the rockets piled together naturally had no accuracy, jumping around, and the sound of howling sounds made the defenders in the city tremble, hiding behind the city walls and not daring to emerge. With a scream of pain, a rocket falling from the sky actually landed on
The defender knocked a Ming army in a helmet out of his head, and his comrades hurriedly pulled the unlucky ghost under the shield.
Amid the sharp and harsh whistling sound, Ding Wen pointed at the sword and roared: "Out!"
With a roar, the hundred sharp soldiers of the Military Information Department led a large number of defenders, with shields, and arrows rushed out of the hidden soldiers' cave. The jingling arrow fell on the shield, but the hundred sharp soldiers ignored it.
Commanding more than a thousand Ming troops to form gun formations at the gap in the city wall, Li Rong was eager to make contributions and ordered people to move out the brand new bird guns in the armory and send them to the soldiers.
Ding Wenchao checked the bird guns, which were brand new, and were created by the Ming Dynasty war battles during the Tianqi period.
Ding Wenchao bowed to the east. This time we still had the advantage of the late emperor. During the Tianqi period, the late emperor still did a lot of practical things. The musket was kept in the warehouse for more than ten years without rusting, and the workmanship was still
It is extremely exquisite and sophisticated. Thinking about the bird guns being made by Wei Zhongxian, I feel sad. Although Eunuch Wei is a little greedy, he has done some practical things. The soldiers of the border army were outdated when Wei Zhongxian was the inner minister.
The ordnance has been replaced.
The howling rocket was shot, but smoke filled the gap in the city wall, igniting a fire.
Ding Wenchao has been fighting around Macheng for many years. This series of poisonous schemes has been very well received by the true legend of the God of War. The rocket will inevitably burn when it hits a little. The rising smoke and the smoke and dust block the sight of the siege Tatars.
The fire surged into the sky, and although it was night, it shone a little bit at the gap in the city wall, which illuminated the target for the Ming army's gun formation and provided a good shooting range.
As the horses neighed, several horses dragged some of the remains of the fired rocket.
After a brief quietness in Zhangye's outer city, the sound of yelling and killing boiled. The first Tartar soldier holding a knife and shield rushed into the gap. The Tartar soldier was very panicked and protected his body with his shield, slashing his sword, and naturally
He couldn't cut anything, and screamed and rolled down the ruins and walls, rolling down from the broken walls several meters high. The Tartar soldiers rolled down the slope, and they couldn't help but feel dizzy.
"ah!"
The Tartar soldier hurriedly got up, and his shield was also taken off. He was in a panic and could not tell the east, west, south and north, and desperately waved his saber and howled.
"Stay!"
Hundreds of military intelligence soldiers were walking through the gun formation and scolding them. The sweaty Ming army was sweating on their foreheads, holding guns, watching the dizzy Tatar soldiers sing a one-man show. The Tatar soldiers suddenly woke up, raised their eyes and saw them in front of them.
A row of black muzzles dozens of steps away were so scared that they were so scared that they were sitting on the ground. Behind, groups of Tartar soldiers rushed to the broken wall, some tripped and some ran wildly, and soon filled the gap in the city wall.
Full.
"put!"
There was a burst of dense guns, and the two gaps fell into pieces. The Tartar soldiers instantly fell into pieces.
The Zhangye defenders had not received new training and could not perform the three-stage strikes to reload afterwards. The gap in the city wall was too narrow. Ding Wenchao adopted a compromise method and ordered the soldiers who had fired the gun to load on the spot, and did not pursue continuous support.
If the firepower is available, just be able to line up and fire the platoon. If the firepower is lacking, it will be broken by the Tartar soldiers. At this time, the Ming troops on the urns on both sides hugged the fire.
"put!"
The Ming army guarding the gap below was in a hurry to load during the break, and the Ming army on the city walls on both sides fired guns again. The adaptation tactics adopted in desperation actually received miraculous effects. At the gap in the city wall with red light flashing, the recent Tartar soldiers rushed over.
The dense firepower combined with high and low was so frightening that it was so frightening.
"Fight, beat!"
On the urn city, veteran Li Rong was as excited as if he was bloody. There were also hundreds of veteran soldiers from the Military Information Department on the inner walls on both sides, commanding the defenders to fight, shooting platoons, and the smoke filled the guns. The dense sound of guns was mixed with the roar of a veteran Hexi.
The sound is heroic and shrill.
Bang bang bang bang!
More than ten Tartar soldiers who had luckily broken through the fire blockade rushed up howled and were killed by the old military intelligence officer with a pistol. A quarter of an hour later, two gaps in the broken city wall were covered with Tartar soldiers' bodies, flashing.
In the fire, the layers of corpses were covered with dense layers, like hell on earth. The Ming army was filled with smoke, and everyone was choked and tears were all over.
After a deadly silence, the figures of Tartar soldiers appeared on the broken wall again.
call!
More than a dozen axes and guns were spinning and pierced heavily into the Ming army's gun formation. The Ming army soldiers screamed and fell down. A large number of Tartar soldiers appeared on the ruins with bows and arrows. Arrows and guns flew across the walls.
The offensive and defensive sides actually shot at each other violently at the gap. There were still some rotating axes in the arrows. Ding Wenchao knew at a glance that it was a strong enemy. Only Russian soldiers would throw axe guns, and one-handed axes, and Russian soldiers came up.
Chapter completed!
