Chapter 310, let people despair
In front of the pass of Datong, the armies on both sides were solemn. On the grassland, the army of grassland was arranged neatly, and flags were blown in the cold wind.
On the tall city wall, Ming Jun also nervously held the weapons in his hand, looking at the black crowd on the grassland, and when he saw that he seemed to be unable to see the edge.
The feeling of over a thousand people is crowded. The whole scene is very spectacular with this army of 100,000 grasslands and hundreds of thousands of horses.
"The people of the Heaven of Eternal Life, behind the city wall in front of you is an extremely prosperous world. Where do you need food, salt, tea, iron pot, kitchen knives, and the snow-white, snow-white and fragrant woman you don't want these?"
Dayan Khan rode his tall horse and came to the front of the army with a very limited amount, and then said loudly to the entire army.
His voice was very rough, loud and clear to every corner of the army.
"Think~"
The 100,000 troops were roaring in an orderly manner, as if they were thunder, as if they were tsunami, and as if they were surging, the waves were surging, which made the Ming troops on the city wall scare and hold the weapons in their hands again.
"Haha, these people who live in the world are the wolves on the grassland. And the people of the Ming Dynasty in front of us are sheep, and the wolf is born to eat sheep."
"They only rely on this little wall in front of them. As long as you bravely rush up, these sheep will be afraid and fearful. We can easily build the pass in front of us and enter the sheep pen. At that time, you will do whatever you want."
Dayan Khan continued to roar, and his words made these grassland soldiers feel as if they were full of blood, and they instantly forgot their fear of such a tall city wall.
Some veterans even recalled the Ming army they encountered when they went south to rob, which was simply vulnerable and did not dare to fight with them at all. They could only rely on the city wall to defend. Once they broke through the city wall, they would really be like entering a sheep pen and enjoy a sumptuous meal.
"Clam~"
Da Yanhan pulled out the sword in his hand, and the sword made a crisp sound.
"Kill~"
"God of Eternal Life bless us!"
With the order of Dayan Khan, howlings began to sound continuously, and the huge grassland army began to move, and a large number of archers began to press forward. At the same time, the grassland soldiers carrying siege equipment kept approaching the city wall under the protection of the shield hands.
As before, they were still habitually using the suppression power of archers to prepare to suppress the Ming army on the city walls and gain opportunities for the siege troops.
The equipment of the siege troops was made by Dayan Khan long ago. Of course, they were all simple equipment, such as ladders, catapults, and wood. The grassland people were not good at making these things, but if they wanted to go south, they had to learn to do these things.
"Dong~Dong~"
On the city wall, war drums began to ring constantly. The Ming army on the city wall had already prepared stones, hot oil, rolling wood and other defensive things. At the same time, the Ming army's archers had also prepared early and were preparing to shoot with the grassland archers.
"Let them enter the attack range before attacking~"
Liu Yu was wearing a red robe, holding a telescope, watching the movements on the battlefield, and gave orders very calmly.
"Swish~swish~"
Soon, the grassland army came to the foot of the city wall, and bows and arrows began to fall continuously towards the city wall like rain.
However, because the city wall is too high, many arrows begin to sag before they even land on the city wall. As for some arrows that fall on the city wall, their power is also limited. With the protection of the shield player, the damage caused is very small, much smaller than before.
"Haha, if this city wall is a few feet taller, the grassland people will not even shoot the bows and arrows."
Liu Yu sat on the highest battlement, watching the arrows as if rained, without any fear, but was happily chatting with his colleagues around him.
"General system, the Tartars have come to the foot of the city wall. Can they start to fight back?"
A general with armored figure followed Liu Yu with a smile and said, "Although his rank is the same as Liu Yu, in front of Liu Yu, he, a general, had no say in front of the civil servant Liu Yu, and he was always servile. The generals of the Ming Dynasty were so frustrated.
"Well, send the order and attack~"
Liu Yu saw clearly with the telescope, nodded and ordered.
"Dongdong~"
Soon, the drum sound changed and turned into the attacking drum sound.
Suddenly, the Ming army began to counterattack on the city wall, and the archers began to play. There was no need to aim at it. Just pull the bowstrings and shoot randomly at the sky.
"Swish~swish~"
Countless arrows fell towards the grassland army like rain, and instantly brought bunches of blood among the archers of the grassland army.
Because they are condescending, even if the quality of the weapons is not good, they can still shoot as far as they are, and their lethality is stronger, condescending and higher in height.
“This ~”
Dayankhan looked at the chaos in his archer camp, and everyone was afraid of death. Even the grassland people were the same. When the arrow rain fell, a large number of people would fall down instantly, with heavy casualties.
Da Yanhan's face became ugly. This kind of thing has never happened before. In the past, the bows and arrows in their hands were always able to steadily suppress the Ming army on the top of the city.
Every time they choose to suppress the Ming army's bow and arrow range, and they can easily suppress the Ming army and provide firepower suppression cover for the siege troops.
"This city wall is too high ~ our archers' suppression advantage is gone."
Dayankhan suddenly found the problem, but he had to continue to order the archers to shoot against the Ming Dynasty archers. Once the archers give up the suppression, the troops siege the city would basically have to be beaten.
"Pull out the cannon~"
Da Yan made a cold order, and soon, a cannon was carried out and arranged neatly.
Don’t think that grasslanders would not play with cannons. In fact, the Mongols were invincible when they were able to scatter the Eurasian continent. In addition to powerful bows and arrows and warriors, the most important thing they rely on was this cannon.
Under the bombardment of artillery, the hard city walls will collapse and can easily be rushed in, and even the enemy's will will be shattered.
"Dong~Dong~"
Soon, with the rise of white smoke, cannons began to show their power, and the loud sound was like thunder, and iron balls bombarded the huge city wall.
"Bang~"
Above the city walls, dull sounds, hard cement, let alone cannons of this level, were built in later generations with all kinds of solid bunkers and walls, which were built with cement, and resisted all kinds of artillery. Only armor-piercing bombs could truly pose a fatal threat.
As for the artillery of this era, it was tickling and only left a series of gravure marks on the hard gray-white city walls, which had no effect at all.
"Fire Attack Counterattack~"
When Liu Yu saw the opponent's artillery attack, he also ordered.
Soon, at the battlements, one cannon was assumed to be found. The people in the artillery battalion carefully added gunpowder to the cannons because they were afraid of blowing up the chamber and even dared not add more. Generally, they only dared to add less than half of the gunpowder.
"Dong~Dong~"
Accompanied by loud noises and thick smoke, shells were continuously shot out. Some of these shells were single iron balls, chain bullets, and some were shot bullets.
The power can only be said to be used to scare people. The quality of the cannon is too poor, and the gunners dare not fill too much gunpowder, so the range is very limited.
But because it is condescending, under the city wall of more than ten feet, not to mention cannons, even if a stone is thrown down, its lethality is extremely amazing.
The shells were beating among the grassland army. Wherever they passed, the children Chang Tiansheng had died in an instant, and some even had their heads exploded by the projectiles.
"Kill~"
At the foot of the city wall, the grassland army finally rushed to the foot of the city wall. As soon as ladders leaned against the city wall, the brave grassland warrior bit the scimitar in his mouth and began to climb up continuously.
At the same time, at the city gate, under the protection of the shield player, the grassland soldiers carried a huge bumper wood and attacked the city gate, preparing to rely on brute force to knock the city gate open.
“Ah~”
Then the Ming army above the city wall would never make them so relaxed.
The hot hot oil poured down one pot after another, and stones fell like rain. Suddenly, screams came from under the city wall.
Although the shield player's shield was thick, when the huge rock fell, they still smashed the shield players to pieces. Without the suppression of the archers, the Ming army on the city wall easily threw down the stones, causing heavy casualties and injuries to the grassland soldiers under the city gate, and the attack was extremely slow.
As for the grassland soldiers on the ladder, they were even more miserable, because many times, they suddenly realized that they had climbed to the top of the ladder but were still a distance from the city wall. They could only stare blankly, and then they were hit by stones, and their dead eyes were greatly earned.
The arrows were like rain, and the white smoke was rising, and the hot oil burning under the city walls, huge stones, howlings, drums, and deafening shouts of killing between the two sides.
Everything constitutes the most cruel siege of this era. There is a lot of blood flowing every moment, and a lot of life disappearing.
