Chapter 96: Stick to it (4) [Updates will be added if the monthly ticket is over 200]
The actual subsequent development of the battlefield was initially as expected by Bai Yintu and others.
When the Tatar attacking troops rushed to a distance of thirty meters from the pier in a trot, Lao Hei had just packed a handful of gunpowder into the barrel of his gun.
There was no time to fill in the new steel bar head.
A little behind the battle formation, Niulu Erzhenfu Chaheng roared, and a group of Tatar attacking troops made a new move.
Based on the last battle experience, the archers did not use arrow rain coverage.
Instead, they performed precise suppressive shooting at a distance of about 50 meters under the pier, where the heavy arrows they shot had the greatest power.
The Tatars carrying ladders, guarded by the shield bearers, accelerated toward the filled-in parts of the trench and charged forward ferociously.
But they didn't know that Hu Biao looked at the direction of the wind at this moment.
I was surprised to find that the current southeast wind was blowing directly towards the Tatars. After that, I took the lead in covering my mouth and nose with a piece of cloth.
In the following time, he picked up a jar of lime from his feet.
When a Tatar vest, holding a shield in his left hand and a long knife in his right hand, took the lead and stepped onto the simple ladder that had just been placed.
The moment his body jumped up, Hu Biao hit him on the head.
In a hurry, the Tatar vest raised the shield on his left hand and successfully blocked the jar.
However, the fragile clay pot was smashed into pieces during the impact, and then it contained at least two kilograms of lime powder, which apparently flew into the air.
Not only the Tatar vest, but also the three or four Tatars who gathered behind him and planned to rush up with him, were all covered in an area filled with the densest lime powder.
In an instant, these people's eyes, noses, and mouths were all filled with lime powder.
In fact, in defensive battles, the tactic of throwing lime powder from a high position is not new at all; although the ancients called it "gray bottle", the theory and effect are the same.
And such a tactic can achieve amazing results under suitable circumstances.
No! In a very short period of time, those Tatars who were recruited first discovered that their eyes were so painful that they could not see anything at all.
Then, as a large amount of lime powder passed through the mouth and respiratory tract, it entered the body.
The irritation to their poor lungs and stomach caused them to cough crazily, coughing, coughing, and spitting out bright red blood from their mouths.
That's because the heat released by the lime powder when it comes into contact with water has begun to burn their organs and skin.
The pain caused by such burning is staggering.
These Tatars scratched their necks and faces frantically, letting their nails scratch out traces of blood, which soon became pulpy.
Coupled with the painful sound coming from their mouths, it was like coming from hell, which can be said to make people's scalp numb.
Yang Dongli, Lang Qing, Xu Feng and others, just a second slower, also smashed down a lime jar and wrapped up the Tatars in other positions who had no time to react.
The number of Tatars recruited in these positions was either two or three, or one or two.
Anyway, all of a sudden, there were nearly a dozen Tatars, and they were all the elite vest and infantry soldiers among the Tatars, and they were all attacked one after another.
In this kind of battle like climbing a city, some members with stronger fighting ability rush to the front.
Especially the tragic situation made some Tatars who were planning to follow behind hesitate.
After witnessing such a scene, Niu Lu'e Zhenfu Cha Heng almost vomited out a mouthful of blood.
But now, he is like a gambler who has put all his chips on the table, unable to retreat after losing.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be true that so many of his warriors died in vain?
After suddenly pulling out the knife, he was about to rush forward from a little behind to fight for his life; but several white-armored soldiers around him quickly hugged him tightly to prevent his master from going forward to die.
In such a situation, Fu Chaheng could only act like a wounded beast, waving the big knife crazily in his hand and roaring at the top of his lungs:
"Don't retreat, keep charging forward, otherwise all the people before will die in vain. We must kill these Nikans~"
Hu Biao, who was on the pier, was also a little crazy at this moment; why? How could those Tatar archers just let them throw lime jars at will?
When he smashed the lime can, even Fengrui, who was working with him, held a shield in his hand and consciously blocked it for him.
But at the same time, five or six sharp arrows came at him from multiple angles almost at the same time, and two of them still hit him.
One of them hit the arm, and the other hit the lower abdomen just above the heart.
Thanks to the Mingguang Armor on Hu Biao's body, the arrow in his heart was directly deflected by the protective mirror, and the remaining arrow did not penetrate very deep.
But the instantaneous pain was nothing short of severe.
Amidst the sharp pain that made his scalp numb, Hu Biao roared like a wild beast:
"Smash it down, hit it hard, and kill these Tatars. We will fight with them to the death today. Either they will die or they will die."
In fact, there was no need for Hu Biao to wake him up like this. Facing the crazy Tatars under the pier, the netizens were throwing jars one after another in their hands.
This offensive and defensive battle has reached a fever pitch right from the beginning...
****
Huang Yizhi lowered his head and reached for his hand again, intending to hold another can of lime in his hand and throw it down after a while.
But in such an action, he hesitated slightly.
There is no way! In today's strong southeast wind, the lime will not be in the air for long; it will be blown thin by the wind and completely dissipate.
On the other hand, the Tatars went crazy. The one who was supposed to be Niulu, the highest military officer of the Tatars, beheaded two hesitant Tatar Yu Ding before his eyes.
Under such pressure, the other Tatars would continue to rush forward without waiting for the diffuse lime powder to completely dissipate.
More importantly, after the initial losses, these Tatars reacted and made some countermeasures.
Following the example of Hu Biao and others on the pier, he tore off a piece of clothing and wrapped his mouth and nose; and when the lime jar was smashed down, he closed his eyes in time, etc.
In desperation, they could only slow down the Tatars' offensive by continuously spreading lime powder under the pier.
But that's it, I feel like the effect of smashing this thing is becoming less and less useful.
So many Tatars now have no time to climb up one by one through the limited ladders.
But after closing his eyes, he was frantically digging into the earth platform of Suifeng Dun with some daggers and other weapons in his hands.
To put it bluntly, Suifeng Dun is just a fire platform used to warn people.
Of course it has a defensive function, but it won't be too strong; the reinforcements made by Hu Biao and others in the past few days cannot change the weakness of the earth platform as the foundation, which is only made of loess.
It is far from being as strong as those serious city walls of the Ming Dynasty. Not only was glutinous rice juice added to the soil, but it was also wrapped with a layer of blue bricks.
Under the frantic digging of the Tatars, huge lumps of soil the size of fists continued to fall.
Often with a little effort, a hole as big as a washbasin can be dug.
Damn it! If the situation is allowed to continue like this, the earth wall in front of them will have a gap due to the collapse below, resulting in a greatly reduced defense.
Fortunately, Hu Biao, a desperate commander, still made timely adjustments.
In response to the current situation, he yelled: "Throw incendiary cans and burn these Tartars to death."
Under such an order, the singers who were helping to support the shield with Huang Yizhi quickly said: "On the left, there is a basket of burning cans on the left."
After hearing this, Huang Yi bent down and ran a few steps to the left, dragging back a basket again.
Without any hesitation, Huang Yizhi picked up the burning torch that had been prepared nearby and quickly lit the cotton cloth blocking the jar.
He picked up such a thing that was emitting black smoke and stood up under the protection of the singer.
The moment he stood up, he could see a Tatar soldier in white armor at his feet. Although he was wearing a bulging body, he didn't know how much armor he wore.
But due to his unusual agility, he could rush forward in a second at most.
Without thinking, Huang Yizhi pointed the incendiary jar in his hand at the Tatar and smashed it directly...
