The battle started at around nine in the morning, and by noon, more than a dozen sections of the eastern trench had been filled in. Many slaves carrying sacks were also killed in the trenches. There were both sacks and corpses in these passages, as well as dismantled shields.
Car components.
Huang Taiji looked at it and said, "Okay, let the army rush forward."
He didn't plan to wait until the trench was completely filled. He could attack it now. He didn't pay attention to a small city yet. There were now more than a dozen sections of trench that had been filled in, which was enough for thousands of people to rush up.
There were not many soldiers in this small town. At this point, Huang Taiji thought it would be easy to win. After all, there were many battles in history in which hundreds of them defeated thousands of people.
As the horn blew, a large number of slaves carrying ladders and shouting rushed up from the more than ten sections of the moat that had been paved. Shield carts were also pushed to the edge of the moat, spaced about ten meters apart to protect the slaves.
Continue to fill in the trench.
The bird gunners and gunners of the Han Army Flag also hid behind the shield car, relying on the large shield as a cover to shoot at the city. At this time, the artillery had stopped shooting because their soldiers were about to board the city. At this time, the artillery meeting was held.
Hurt your own people.
As soon as the artillery fire stopped, a large number of Ming troops immediately appeared behind the city battlements. They used bows and arrows, sharpshooters, three-eyed blunderbuss, broken house blunderbuss and other firearms to shoot at the enemies who crossed the trench.
As he watched, a large number of Eight Banners soldiers fell to death outside the city.
The Eight Banners' archers hid behind and immediately drew their big bows and shot at the city wall.
As soon as the shooting began, the Ming army suffered a big loss. The Ming army's archery skills were really not good enough in front of the Eight Banners. If you exposed your head even slightly, you would be shot. They could even hit the eyes of the Ming army within fifty meters.
.
A long arrow hit a Baihu. The long arrow penetrated into the brain. The huge kinetic energy sent Baihu flying backwards and directly hit the wall behind. Then he fell down with a loud noise.
Ma Xi saw that it was not possible. The Ming army suffered too much from such a confrontation. The bows of the Ming army were all bows with three to five strengths. But the bows of Jiannu were all hard bows with ten strengths. And their archery skills were better than those of the Ming Dynasty.
There were too many troops. At a distance of fifty meters, the Ming army's arrows were already flying.
Because the gentlemen from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry privately replaced the carved feathers with goose feathers in order to save money. It's okay if there is no wind, but if there is a level 5 wind, it simply cannot be used.
Using goose feathers as arrow feathers is a rip-off. The price difference is ten times. Goose feathers are something that is thrown away and no one wants it.
"Shangxuanhu!" Ma Xi shouted loudly.
Even though Jian Nu was superb in archery, Ma Xi was not helpless in dealing with them.
The hanging door sounds like a magical thing. In fact, you can hang the quilt on a wooden frame, pour water on it to wet it, and then use a long pole to pick it up and place it on the crenel.
This thing is soft and can float around in the wind without any force. The enemy's bows and arrows will be blocked when they hit the quilt. The reason why it is poured with water is to prevent the enemy from burning down the hanging house with rockets.
.After all, cotton is very flammable.
Following the order, many gates appeared on the battlements. The Eight Banners' bows, arrows and firecrackers hit the gates one after another. The bows and arrows were directly blocked and bounced away, while the lead bullets punched a hole through the gates.
The soldiers at the top of the city carefully lifted up a corner of the quilt with a bamboo pole, fired at the bottom of the city, and put down the quilt after the shooting. At this time, the Eight Banners' bows and arrows were useless. They could no longer hit the Ming army on the top of the city.
.
At this time, a large number of Eight Banners and Mongolian soldiers had rushed to the city. Ladders with steel hooks had been set up one after another.
At this time, a strange scene occurred. Because outside the city wall, watering had frozen a three-foot-thick ice wall. Therefore, these ladders could not reach the battlements. They were all stuck by the ice wall that was lower than the entrance of the battlements. This way
, even if the Eight Banners soldiers climbed up, they still had to climb over one meter of sloping ice to get close to the crenel.
Moreover, the most magical scene of the hanging door also appeared. Because it was picked out with poles. Multiple bamboo poles can be used to control the opening of the hanging door for shooting. At the same time, there is also some distance between the hanging door and the city battlements. From the crenellations of the city wall
Looking down, you can see the densely packed Eight Banners soldiers attacking the city below.
And Kanto blocked the bow and arrow fired from a distance of fifty meters in front.
The officers and soldiers of the Ming army picked up stones and bricks and threw them down from the crenels, hitting those who tried to climb the city.
At this time, the Eight Banners soldiers who rushed to the city were going crazy. Because of the watering, a large amount of ice appeared in an arc shape under the city. The open space between the moat and the city wall was untenable. As long as you are not careful,
It will slide into the moat.
Once you fall, you can't get out on your own.
What makes them even more irritated is that it has turned into an icy slope. The steel hooks on the top of the ladder cannot hook the wall tiles and cannot be fixed. The bottom is too slippery. As long as people go up, they will fall downwards under the action of gravity.
Slide back.
In the end, both the man and the ladder fell into the moat.
Niu Luer checked hard and saw that the ladder could not stand and the ground was too slippery. He picked up the mace and smashed the ice on the ground. Two small holes were soon made. The ladder could be fixed.
He quickly asked the people on the left and right to hold the ladder. Now that the front and rear were fixed, the left and right still needed to be held.
Imutu was a Batulu, and he had fifty people under his command. He was about 1.8 meters tall and very stout. He held a knife in his mouth, a shield in one hand, and a ladder in the other as he climbed up quickly.
Behind him were five of his capable men. They all wore cloth armor with a layer of chain mail and a layer of cotton armor inside.
This is the legendary three-layer armor, which is basically immune to the Ming Dynasty's muskets. The three-eyed gun cannot penetrate it at all.
Yimutu quickly climbed to the top of the ladder with quick hands and feet. After all, this is just a military fortress, and the wall cannot exceed seven meters. In cities at all levels in the Ming Dynasty, the height of city walls is strictly regulated. Only the city wall of the imperial capital is the highest in the country.
He climbed to the top of the ladder and was dumbfounded. The top was not a battlement at all, but a sloping ice surface that continued to climb for more than one meter. He was wearing heavy armor and would definitely slip and fall if he went up.
He was thinking about how to climb over.
He saw a row of black guns pointed at him. He immediately jumped onto the ice and heard the roar of muskets.
Two three-eyed cannons and three shotguns fired together. At such a close distance, the penetration of lead bullets was very good. Even his triple armor could not block all the lead bullets. Six rounds fired by two three-eyed cannons
Buckshot, all hits.
At such a close distance, there is no need to aim.
Then, he fell backwards from the huge impact. He screamed and fell down. The huge kinetic energy of the six lead bullets directly broke several of his sternum and ribs.
Even though Yimutu wore three layers of armor, it was not as well protected as Yang Fan's armor. Although it did not penetrate, the huge impact still caused blunt injuries.
He screamed and fell from the ladder, hitting the ground hard. This immediately made him unable to move. Then he slid along the curved ice surface and slid into piles of corpses, wounded people, and some who accidentally fell.
Moat for incoming soldiers.
When he fell into the moat, the last thing he saw was that a log was suddenly thrown down from the crenel where he climbed, with three-inch steel nails all over it.
As soon as this thing was thrown down, it immediately broke the ladder. The log rolled from top to bottom, smashing all the soldiers on the ladder into the moat. Then the winch turned, pulling the ropes at both ends of the log, and pulling the log again.
