Chapter 2531 Han soldiers who are cannon fodder

"Wei Laowu, take your people to attack the city, and you will be the first to win the city wall." A black-bearded man spoke.

"General, don't worry, Xiao Jinzhou City, Lao Wu will be sure to take it down for you. You can take a look at it from behind!" The man named Wei Lao Wu said with great enthusiasm.

These Han generals all surrendered from the Ming army to the slave thief.

Now nearly 20,000 of their troops besieged a small Jinzhou City. There are only a few thousand defenders in the city. Even if the soldiers and horses with the tiger flag are stronger than those of the Ming army, they are all humans, and they are all Han people, with one head and two arms,

It's not much different, no one is much better than anyone else.

Wei Laowu appeared outside Jinzhou City with his own thousand-house soldiers.

He rode his horse, pointed the whip in his hand at the Jinzhou City in front, and said loudly: "Let me listen to it. As long as you attack the walls of Jinzhou City, you can follow me three buckets of rice in one person.

rush."

Without the Shanxi merchants transporting a large amount of grain and iron to slave thieves, Liaodong did not experience the later generations of the Guandong and developed the Liaodong in great development. At this time, Liaodong had limited land and bad weather, so the output was even less sufficient.

Food has always been a scarce resource.

It is much better to use food to boost morale than to give money directly.

kill!

Wei Laowu took the lead and rushed down the city of Jinzhou City with five or six hundred Han soldiers.

Mangurtai and Jirhalang stood under the banner on horseback, focusing on Wei Laowu's troops, waiting to see the reaction in Jinzhou City.

On the walls of Jinzhou City, a cannon was ready.

Next to each cannon, there was a gun group, ranging from two to four members, without orders. These people looked outside the city with a cold expression, and no one took the initiative to fire.

"Captain Chen, it's almost done!" Wang Ju, the captain of the Thousand People Team next to him, said to Captain Chen of the artillery team beside him.

Captain Chen was holding a monocular in his hand and was paying attention to the situation outside the city through the monocular.

He just heard him say, "Don't worry, if you let it get closer, you will be beaten. There are all infantrymen. If you put it in, it will be difficult for them to run away if they want to run away."

"You've figured it out and are ready to use all the cannons in the city?" Wang Ju looked at Captain Chen in surprise.

Captain Chen took away the monocular telescope in front of him and said, "Eighteen cannons were arranged on this city wall alone. What if one cannon is fired and the slave thieves in the distance are scared away? We're OK

Let's take it slowly, let's hook up with the slave thief and add fuel to it a little bit."

"Okay, I won't fight with you. You are good at playing cannons, but you have to leave some for me, don't kill them, and practice them for my people." Wang Ju said.

It can be seen from the expressions of the two people that they were very relaxed and did not take the invading army of slaves and thieves seriously at all.

Just as the two of them were talking, Wei Laowu brought his troops to some Jinzhou City again.

"Blow the whistle!" Captain Chen of the artillery team explained.

The man next to him picked up the copper whistle tied around his neck and blew it hard.

The sharp and harsh copper whistle could be heard for several miles through the air, and the gunner guarding the city wall heard it all over the place.

As soon as the whistle sounded, one of the gunners raised the torch in his hand and lit the cotton rope on the cannon.

boom!

A four-pound cannon on the city wall was fired, and then several cannons were fired. One by one, one by one, the cannons flew out of the gun mouth, jumped down the city wall, and fell towards the one that was approaching Jinzhou City.

In the Han army.

The advantages of the cannon of the tiger flag are its good quality, sufficient power, and long range. The gunner can not only proficiently operate the cannon, but also has a high level and a high head.

Whether it is the Ming army or the slave thief's gunners, they are far from being compared with the gunners with the tiger flag.

In the first round of artillery bombardment on the city, only one cannon was slightly off, and all the other cannons fell into the team of Han soldiers such as Wei Laowu.

The cannons were like plows to hoe the ground, plowing out blood and meat ditches like plowing the ground among the crowd.

The just round of artillery bombardment took away at least dozens of lives of Han soldiers.

If it weren't for the possibility of cannons on the city when attacking, the team would spread out and move forward, otherwise there would be more casualties and injuries.

After joining the slave thief, the Han soldiers had to be said to be less afraid of death than when they were the Ming army.

The death and injury of dozens of people did not shake the Han army, Wei Laowu, but instead charged forward even harder and would not give up until he achieved his goal.

If the cannon is not opened once, the cannon must be cleaned and cooled down, and then replaced with new medicine and iron bullets, which is much slower than changing bullets to the musket.

However, after the gunners were proficient and long-term practice, the gunner members of each gun group had different divisions of labor. When they cooperated, the interval between the two guns was greatly shortened.

Before Wei Laowu, the Han soldier, rushed to the dead corner of the cannon, the cannons on the city wall fired again.

The same is the same as the ones that had fired the gun before, but this time it was the second time.

This time, none of the cannons shot out from the city walls hit the target they wanted.

The casualties of Han soldiers outside the city rose again, and the Han general Wei Laowu, who led the troops, was lucky enough to avoid two rounds of artillery attacks.

"Come on the team again." The black-bearded man on the slave thief looked at Wei Laowu's team and was injured a lot. He didn't want Wei Laowu's team to bear the pressure of siege alone, so he sent another thousand households to attack the city.

.

Another team of five or six hundred Han soldiers rushed to Jinzhou City.

When this team was halfway through, Wei Laowu's team was less than 100 steps away from the closest city wall in Jinzhou City.

At this time, the Han army team, the Wei Laowu, no longer had to worry about being shot by cannons in the city, because the cannon targets in Jinzhou City had been replaced by the Han army team behind.

The sound of cannons kept ringing on the city wall.

"Work harder, you'll be close to the city wall soon." Wei Laowu shouted loudly, regardless of whether his subordinates could hear it.

In fact, it is not necessary for him to say that the Han soldiers who had already rushed to the city wall were already full of morale and screaming.

Han soldiers began to approach a ladder that was being carried over.

Everyone wants to be the first to climb to the top of Jinzhou City through the cloud ladder and get the best of their achievements.

Just as they approached the city wall more than twenty steps, the blue bricks on the city wall suddenly fell from the city wall, and black muzzles stretched out from the inside.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Fires emerged from the guns of these black holes, and lead bullets ejected from it.

Before the Han soldiers who were closest to the city wall could react, they were hit by these sudden muskets and fell one by one to the ground.

Wei Laowu was lucky, but the horse was hit. He just fell to the ground, but the falling horse pressed his legs and couldn't break free for a while.

But he saved his life.
