Chapter 144: Continued Consumption
Jiannu's first wave of siege was mainly tentative, so the main siege equipment was not available, and the second wave of siege was really serious. ▲∴▲∴▲∴▲∴▲∴▲▲∴▲∴▲▲∴▲∴▲▲∴▲∴▲∴▲∴▲∴▲∴▲∴▲∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴∴
The result of the test was that the artillery at Jinzhou Pass was too strong, and they gathered together to fight a large area. The wild boar skin also came up with a countermeasure. Since the Ming army concentrated on the artillery, they attacked several points at the same time, and the Ming army would definitely lose sight of one thing.&1t;/p>
So the wild boar skin took this idea and launched a second wave of siege.&1t;/p>
Tens of thousands of traitors were blooming on all sides, divided into four main offensive points, and once again launched a fierce attack on the city wall.&1t;/p>
"Sir, Jiannu is here again."&1t;/p>
"First focus on the artillery to strike some of the other points, you can put some of them up first, and then use the artillery to cut off their subsequent support."&1t;/p>
Zhang Kuotu calmly commanded.&1t;/p>
The Ming army on the top of the city immediately used the female wall as a cover and used bows and arrows and muskets to hedge the enemies. However, the guns at Jinzhou Pass were not like Westerners' bastions, so there were blind spots in firepower such as muskets and could not cover each other well.&1t;/p>
However, the Ming army on the wall closed had a large number of light field artillery.&1t;/p>
This time, Zhang Kuotu directly hit 50 one-pound cannons and 30 three-pound cannons. They hit and lined up on a section of the wall, and then used the gun stand to adjust the shooting angle. Attacked the Jiannu archer who was using the bow and arrow to suppress the Ming army on the city, and banged wildly.&1t;/p>
After one round of bombardment, the two thousand Jiannu archers who were densely arranged under fire protection were killed and injured. With just one round of cannonage, the Jiannu archers were beaten to death and howl and run around. The Ming army on the city suddenly lost its suppression, and no more arrows fell off the head. Immediately poked my head out of the female wall. Then I simply stood upright on the ladders. Like beating a gopher, knocking down the enemy troops who were climbing up one by one at a height of zero.&1t;/p>
The infantry climbing the city without firepower is definitely the cannon fodder among cannon fodder. After all, a ladder cannot be two people side by side, climbing up one by one, but there can be guarding several fully armed Ming troops on it. The spears in the hands of these Ming troops are very long and are stabbed before they can touch the wall. Even if they can avoid the spears and climb up a little more, they have to face the condescending attacks of several weapons. How can they climb up?&1t;/p>
A cold weapon unit that is good at attacking must have a large number of elite archers to cover fire. Otherwise, no matter how strong the infantry is, it is impossible to climb to the city to fight hand-to-hand combat.&1t;/p>
As long as one person climbs the city wall, he can restrain the defenders above and buy time for the friendly troops who are still climbing below to climb the city. If there are more people going up, those friendly troops climbing the city can climb up without any interference and fight with the defenders on the city wall.&1t;/p>
In the area where artillery was concentrated, the traitors were in trouble. After the Jiannu archers who were responsible for covering them were attacked by artillery, the firepower cover was forced to be interrupted. Their entrance to the city became extremely tragic.&1t;/p>
A traitor soldier who was about to climb the city suddenly poured down a stream of hot golden juice. He was covered in his face on the spot, and he suddenly screamed and fell down the ladder. The friendly troops on the ladder next to him were even more miserable, and he rolled down the ladder directly.&1t;/p>
Bang bang bang…&1t;/p>
Amid the impact, a string of traitor soldiers on the ladder were smashed down. Some of them had their brains splashed on the spot, while others had broken bones and rolled on the ground screaming.&1t;/p>
Some traitor soldiers were hit in the head by a big rock just after climbing up. Their heads were cracked on the spot and they fell down with a muffled groan.&1t;/p>
At this moment, the Jiannu archers who were crying and howling, under the constraints of the Jiannu Governor, began to shoot at the Ming army on the top of the city again.&1t;/p>
These shootings are free shooting, all relying on your own accuracy.&1t;/p>
This is the biggest gap between the mob and the elite siege. If it is a mob, the archer's head is not accurate enough, maybe seven or eight of the ten arrows accidentally injured friendly forces. The elite is different, and most of the arrows may hit. Although Jiannu cannot be said to be completely elite, it is just a gang of robbers without faith, Jiannu is good at hunting in the mountains, and the accurate head of the bow and arrow is guaranteed.&1t;/p>
Soon, many Ming troops were caught in arrows on the wall, but the Ming troops were fully armed, everyone was wearing iron armor and helmets, and most of the feather arrows were shot on the Ming troops without any effect. Some Ming troops who were less lucky were shot to death on the spot.&1t;/p>
However, the concentrated artillery fired again.&1t;/p>
Boom boom boom...&1t;/p>
A stream of smoke rose into the air, and dense shotguns swept out again. The formation of Jiannu archers who gathered again was once again sifted. A large number of Jiannu archers fell to the ground and died on the spot, and many were lying on the ground screaming.&1t;/p>
Under the constraints of the general army, these archers did not flee in all directions this time, and they were still firing tenaciously with the Ming army on the top of the city.&1t;/p>
The Ming army on the top of the city continued to operate the artillery and load the artillery.&1t;/p>
The loading of these three-pound cannons and one-pound cannons is relatively simple. Although the procedures are also complicated, the operation is indeed very simple compared to those heavy cannons. With the cooperation of a few soldiers, a shelling can be carried out in thirty seconds. However, the Ming army at Jinzhou Pass is not a professional artillery, but has been guided by artillery battalions. Therefore, the loading is fast and slow, with a volley being about one minute apart.&1t;/p>
However, there were many musketeers on the city wall, shooting at Jiannu's archers in the distance. These musketeers hid behind the female wall, and after loading, they immediately shot. After the attack, they shrank their heads and kept killing Jiannu's vital power.&1t;/p>
The concentrated artillery fired several times on the Jiannu bow under the city again. The Jiannu bowman was seriously injured. Although he was not defeated this time, he was dispersed and could not pose too much threat to the Ming army on the city. At this time, the artillery on the city was aimed at the traitor troops attacking the city.&1t;/p>
After several rounds of artillery attacks, the traitor troops were killed and injured like flowers baptized by storms. Moreover, the people who climbed the city became unstoppable, and they completely lost the hope of climbing to the wall.&1t;/p>
The defeat on the battlefield is often when there is no hope. If there is still hope, no matter how great the casualties are, it can still be persisted for an army with strict military and legal constraints. It will not collapse directly if one-tenth of the casualties are like the European troops. Because most European troops fight for money. If the other nobles are captured, they can extort ransom. If they are gone, what else do you need for money? Of course, they should run away quickly.&1t;/p>
The traitor troops driven by Jiannu will definitely be beaten if they are defeated, so as long as there is hope of breaking through Jinzhou Pass, they will rush forward with a tough bullet.&1t;/p>
But seeing that the siege sequence was disrupted, one by one went up to see his head in batches, the fool knew that he would die if he rushed up. As a result, the traitor troops at the offensive point, which was concentratedly cared for by artillery, suddenly collapsed, and let Jiannu, who was supervising the battle, killing him, but he was just stuck. However, these Jiannu, who were supervising the battle, ran off the position in a mess, because the Ming army on the top of the city began to focus on taking care of them. As soon as Jiannu, who was supervising the battle retreated, the other traitor soldiers ran away.&1t;/p>
In contrast, the other three offensive points are still fighting fiercely at this time.&1t;/p>
Guns and arrows roared, feathers broke through the sky, and in the scene of smoke, the two sides were fighting fiercely. At the attack points of these three Jiannu, the artillery had already gathered, but they did not fire together, and it was obvious that water was released.&1t;/p>
Under the cover of Jiannu's archers, teams of traitors climbed on the ladder. Jiannu's archers and Ming army's musketeers shot wildly. The Ming army, who was responsible for "fighting gophers" on the wall, could not attack the traitor soldiers climbing the ladder without restraint under the suppression of Jiannu's firepower, which made many traitor soldiers about to climb the wall.&1t;/p>
Often at this moment, they were desperate again. The Ming army on the wall closed the wall ruthlessly forked them with a spear, and the artillery on the wall also bombarded the traitor soldiers who followed the city.&1t;/p>
Every time I am always about to go up, but I just can't go up. The emotions of hope and despair are repeatedly tug-of-war, but the casualties continue to increase during this period.&1t;/p>
Hey, hey, hey...&1t;/p>
The enemy troops pushing the siege car shouted horns, and the heavy siege car slowly advanced towards the city gate. The Ming army on the top of the city seemed to ignore it, and ignored these siege cars at all.&1t;/p>
The first bulky siege car pushed to the city gate, and the siege hammer made of giant trees began to shake under the swaying of more than 20 enemy troops.&1t;/p>
Bang…&1t;/p>
Bang…&1t;/p>
Bang…&1t;/p>
With one blow, the city gate was filled with wood chips flying everywhere.&1t;/p>
But when these traitor soldiers hit the enemy for more than a dozen times suddenly felt something was wrong. There seemed to be something blocking the gate behind the city gate, and they couldn't hit it at all.&1t;/p>
There is no way, I can only continue to use my strength to keep working hard.&1t;/p>
Bang bang bang…&1t;/p>
With the sound of rushing and rushing, the city gate was finally knocked open. Yes, it was knocked open, but it was knocked open.&1t;/p>
Through this hole, these traitor soldiers who pushed the siege hammers all looked like earth. They saw that behind the city gate, they were blocked by bags of earth and rocks.&1t;/p>
Now there is no way out.&1t;/p>
The wild boar skin watching the battle behind saw that one of the attacking troops was defeated and looked very bad. However, without hesitation, he still invested a group of Han troops again.&1t;/p>
The target came again, and the Ming army on the city wall looked at the enemy troops that were attacking again happily. The morale of all Ming soldiers was extremely strong.&1t;/p>
They have a strong city to defend, and there are still a steady stream of materials and reinforcements in the rear. This is a city defense battle that is doomed to be impossible to fail.&1t;/p>
At this time, even if a large number of Jiannu climbed to the top of the city, it would not be possible for the Ming army to shake the morale of the army.&1t;/p>
It was also because of the strong morale that Zhang Kuotu quickly ordered the defense point of the left wall to increase the waterproofing force, and soon the first team Jiannu climbed to the wall.&1t;/p>
The wild boar skin was overjoyed, and everyone around was excited. They were excited! As a result, less than a moment later, they turned into a constipation face again.&1t;/p>
Because the Ming army on the wall was arranged in an orderly formation, it committed bloody abuse to the enemy troops who climbed the city. Not only were the number of these enemy troops who climbed the city, there was not any formation, but they were naturally stabbed to death by the Ming army one by one with long spears. (To be continued...)&1t;/p>
