Chapter 1827
In addition to the officers and soldiers climbing the cloud ladder, the city wall also had archers constantly shooting arrows on the city wall, suppressing the defenders on the city wall, and fighting for the opportunity for the officers and soldiers climbing the cloud ladder to climb the city head.
"Quickly, pour tincture oil down and burn them to death with tincture oil." He Qianyou shouted loudly.
A guard used a wooden fork to pick up the iron pot and fell towards the officers and soldiers under the city wall.
The hot hot oil cannot be blocked by a shield. Even wearing armor will flow into the clothes through the gaps. Few people can tolerate the pain.
As soon as the hot oil fell down, another torch was thrown off the city wall. When it hit the grease, it immediately got up.
Several officers and soldiers covered in hot oil were directly burned into firemen. While screaming, they ran backwards, trying to find something to put out the fire on their bodies.
One of the ladder trucks had tinder oil and it started burning soon.
There was not much tincture oil prepared on the city wall, and soon all of it was used up, so I began to pour it on the officers and soldiers under the city with boiling hot gold juice.
"Use the musket to hit the archers and the officers and soldiers on the ladder first." He Qianyou raised the musket in his hand and headed towards the archers under the city.
Then, without looking at the results of the battle, he squatted down and leaned his back against the female wall to reload the medicine for the musket in his hand.
The guards who used muskets on the city walls were almost the same. They hid immediately after firing the muskets, and did not give the archers under the city a chance to aim and shoot.
Even so, some defenders were shot by arrows.
The guards on the east city wall are not as many as those on the south city wall, and there are fewer firearms. However, the officers and soldiers siege under the city are no less than those on the south city wall, so the pressure they are naturally greater.
Several times, officers and soldiers rushed to the city wall and were almost about to climb the city wall, and were knocked down by the spear in the hands of the peasants.
He Qianyou knew that if the situation continued like this, it would be a matter of time before the officers and soldiers rushed to the city wall.
"Captain, captain, reinforcements are here." A guard ran to He Qianyou's and said.
He Qianyou turned his head and looked over.
On the other side of the horse road, soldiers and horses kept rushing up to the city wall.
"How many reinforcements have come?" He Qianyou asked.
The guard replied, "A total of three hundred came, all of them were musketeers."
"Leave a hundred, and the rest go to the city gates to the west and north to support them." He Qianyou said to the other party.
The guard said: "Captain Yang has sent troops to reinforce, and he is also a few 300 muskets."
"The young defenders on both sides, send more reinforcements to them. I'm still holding on here. Go quickly and leave me a hundred." He Qianyou ordered.
Seeing this, the guards had to send them to the side of the Madao.
In the end, only one hundred reinforcements were left on the city wall to the east, and the remaining two hundred reinforcements went to reinforce the city gates to the west and north.
One hundred musketeers were reinforced, and the defense hardness of the city became stronger. Some officers and soldiers who had the opportunity to climb the city wall were once again pushed back to the middle of the ladder.
Because the archers under the city were the target of the focus of attack, there were more casualties and injuries, and their support to other siege officers and soldiers was naturally weakened.
Similarly, the number of guards on the city walls who were killed and injured and lost their combat effectiveness began to increase.
"Fight!" He Qianyou raised his musket and fired at the officers and soldiers under the city.
If the officers and soldiers do not retreat, they can only fight.
On the city wall to the east where He Qianyou is located, there were 100 casualties and 200 soldiers, and there were also many injured people.
If they were the official army they had encountered in the past, the official army would have withdrawn to this extent, but these officers and soldiers from Liaodong still fought to the death and their offensive did not weaken at all.
The battle continued, and neither side wanted to give in.
One side defends the city, the other side risks their lives to attack the city.
"The spearman picks the enemy down."
Some officers and soldiers climbed up the city wall along the ladder, and He Qianyou ordered the defenders who used spears to come up.
A few spears stabbed the officers and soldiers who had just jumped onto the city wall.
The officers and soldiers wanted to use the shield in their hands to block the spear that was stabbed at them with their other hand.
The shield pressed against the spear head of a spear, and the knife in his hand also lifted the spear head of a spear, and several spear heads were still stuck on him.
The spearhead pierced into the flesh and made a thunderous sound.
Before the officers and soldiers could stand firm on the city wall, they died on the head of several spears. The body collapsed at the edge of the squadron and were pushed down from the city wall by the spear.
He Qianyou on the other side picked up the newly loaded musket and fired a gun at the next officer and soldier who was about to climb up the city wall, directly knocking the person down the ladder.
Subsequently, more and more officers and soldiers began to climb up the city wall through the ladder.
At the beginning, the guards could still use spears to pick up the officers and soldiers who had just climbed the city walls to the city, but gradually more and more officers and soldiers who climbed the city walls were unable to pick up the spears, and the officers and soldiers began to gain a foothold on the city walls.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Some of the guards began to release the muskets from the hands of the city walls.
Gradually, more and more guards using muskets began to retreat, leaving the front position to guards using spears, with the spears pushed in front, and the muskets were fired at the back.
The defenders who used the new style of tiger flags on the city wall were all bayonets and fought with the officers and soldiers who attacked the city wall.
Although the officers and soldiers who climbed the city wall were also forming formations, they could occupy very little space. They could only allow a few officers and soldiers holding shields to stand in front and slowly push forward, expanding the space, so that more officers and soldiers under the city had the opportunity to climb to the top of the city.
"Press forward, press forward, and drive them down." He Qianyou held up the muskets equipped with bayonets, and two rows of musketmen equipped with bayonets, moved forward step by step, squeezing the space where the officers and soldiers were moving on the city wall.
"prick!"
As both sides approached, He Qianyou shouted and stabbed the bayonet at the enemy in front of him.
Around him, there were musketeers who stabbed the enemy with bayonets like him.
The officers and soldiers on the city wall used shields to fight back while using the sword in their hands.
The length of the musket hit the bayonet almost meets the length of the spear. The knife in the hands of the officers and soldiers could not threaten the guards who had stabbed the bayonet, and could only be passively beaten.
After several consecutive assassinations, there was no more officer and soldier standing on the city wall.
There were no officers and soldiers on the city wall, and the guards rolled the bodies of the officers and soldiers and smashed them down.
The injuries on his body were also noticed by several people in the tent.
"Get up quickly, how did you get injured on your shoulders? Have you seen it with the military doctor?" Jiang Yingzhao asked about the injuries on the siege.
The whistle detective got up from the ground and then said, "This morning, the young man was ordered to lead a team of people to investigate the situation around him. Unexpectedly, when he returned, he encountered a large group of thieves. After fighting hard, he got a gun on his shoulder, but he finally escaped."
"Where did you meet the bandits?" Man Gui asked anxiously.
The whistle detective said: "Twenty miles away from the army camp, I didn't find it when I took my people by, but I suddenly encountered it when I came back."
"So close." Man Gui frowned.
