4082. Chapter 4082 The oriole is useless in the back [01]
Scouts were soon sent out to investigate the wreckage of the catapult, and reported back: "Reporting to the Great Khan, the enemy's artillery firing range is not very far, and may not be mature yet. It is only less than three miles away. Compared with them,
The furthest musket can't go very far."
Some of their furthest muskets can shoot a mile away, but most of them can shoot within half a mile, and some can't even shoot.
Although the cannon was powerful, it was not very accurate. The range was only three miles, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
"Besides, their artillery shells must be limited. Let's launch another group of siege vehicles, just in case they have to use cannons." Someone suggested.
Yi Zhique kept thinking of countermeasures with a sullen face.
"Don't worry about his cannons. His cannons can only fire at a distance. Once we rush to the city wall and attack the city immediately, his cannons will be ineffective."
Yi Zhique felt that he could not tolerate the enemy and could not delay any longer, otherwise everyone's military morale would be shaken, "There are only a few cannons in Mianyang City, so what is there to be afraid of! Are the warriors of our grassland afraid of a few cannons? Preparation of cannons
Not even as good as our catapult!"
As soon as he said this, others followed suit and felt that there was nothing to be afraid of.
Yi Zhique gave the order and launched an attack on the city while it was still dark.
Thousands of horses neighed and ran, with the cavalry in front and the infantry behind. The artillery on the city wall fired volleys and roared continuously, but the range was not far enough, only more than three miles, and the number of artillery was not enough, so although it was powerful, it was not
Cannot cause fatal damage to the enemy.
So after the enemy's numerous siege vehicles were dispersed, but there were also dense siege vehicles arriving at the city, they began to board the city and launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle.
The musketeers on the city wall and the archers in the enemy camp were all highly concentrated.
You come and go. Under the protection of the dense rain of arrows, many coalition soldiers climbed up the wall, but what awaited them was a fierce musket attack.
The guards on the city wall also summarized their previous experiences and lessons. Instead of blocking the enemy on the crenellations and beating them, they should get out of the way and let them jump in, and then annihilate them one by one.
Anyway, we won't let them get out alive, let alone cause trouble in the city.
Besides, even after entering the city, there were infantry waiting for them below.
As a result, a steady stream of coalition soldiers jumped onto the city wall, but no one could help open the city gate. The lieutenants of Yi Zhique outside became a little irritable and kept urging.
At this time, Shen Mingzhu saw the opportunity and ordered the artillerymen to adjust the range of the artillery, aiming at Yi Zhique and others who were holding the battle behind.
With an order, the artillery fire was fired again. With a roar and sparks, it rushed out of the range of three miles away and flew directly towards Yi Zhique and others who were about five miles away.
Yi Zhique was shocked. The shells were noisy, just like meteorites falling from the sky, which made people unprepared.
They had been concentrating on the situation on the city wall, but they didn't expect the cannonballs to fall. Fortunately, Yizhique's guard was loyal and agile, and threw him off his horse. Yizhique's horse was hit by a black iron egg.
It was hit so hard that his intestines came out, and he was screaming and struggling on the ground. However, the cannonball did not stop. It jumped up and smashed a soldier's head, broke a soldier's leg, and broke a horse's leg.
He finally stopped after breaking another soldier's foot.
