The fierce fighting continued. Although Pang Gang commanded the sergeants to inflict a large number of casualties on the Qing soldiers, the Qing soldiers, under the command of Rao Yubeile, who was determined to capture Dezhou City, still climbed desperately towards the city wall.
The soldier fell down, and another one climbed up, and gradually the corpses of the Qing soldiers were piled under the city wall. The advantages of the gun soldiers were also revealed at this time. Compared with bows and arrows, they did not need strong arm strength to shoot fire.
As long as the fire system is not hot and there is a sufficient supply of ammunition, they can shoot continuously.
Half an hour has passed, and Pang Gang predicted that at least the bodies of thousands of Qing soldiers were lying under the city. However, those Qing soldiers seemed to be red-eyed, and the pace of the attack showed no intention of slowing down. At this time, the city was
Thick white mist and the choking smell of gunpowder smoke are everywhere on the city wall. It is the masterpiece of the artillery and musketry soldiers on the city wall. With the advantage of the artillery and musketry, the Qing soldiers have not been able to climb to the top of the city, but the huge
Gang's heart gradually became anxious, and he realized that this time Abate was a bastard who was determined to capture Dezhou.
After a while, the news that Pang Gang least wanted to hear finally came from the city.
"Your Majesty, the cannon soldiers have reported that the gun barrel has overheated due to continuous firing, and they cannot continue firing, otherwise there is a risk of the barrel exploding."
"Sir, the gunner reported that the artillery fire was too frequent and the barrel has become red!"
"Sir, all the gold juice and rolling logs and stones on the city have been used up!" Bad news came one after another.
"What, what can we do? Without artillery, muskets and rocks and rolling wood, what can we do to resist the Tatar attack!" Ji Ruxing on the side was shocked when he heard this. He asked with a trembling voice: "Pang Daman
, the Tatars are going to fight, you have to find a way, otherwise our lives will be at risk!"
"Why are you panicking!" Pang Gang looked at Ji Ruxing coldly and said sternly: "The Tatars can fight hard, but we can't fight hard?"
After saying that, Pang Gang pulled out the scimitar from his waist, bent down and picked up the heavy shield that had been placed at his feet for a long time, and said to Yi Jiang, who was silent on the side: "Master Yi, I'd like to trouble you to stay here."
, Pang is going down to kill the thieves with the other soldiers!"
"Hahaha." Yi Jiang burst into laughter, "Pang Pang can go out into danger to kill the enemy in front of Dezhou, so why should I, Yi, regret it? Yesterday, at the reception banquet of the Lord, Yi could not
Mr. Yu drank wine and talked in his heart with great regret. After these Tartars are defeated, we can drink and talk together again!"
"Okay!" Pang Gang took a deep look at Yi Jiang and said with a smile: "Master Yi is indeed a man. I, Pang Gang, have made you my friend. Let's go together!"
"Hahaha... Let's go together!"
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. They took their weapons and got off the tower and walked towards the city wall. As they walked, Pang Gang loudly ordered the cannon soldiers and sword and shield soldiers who had been fighting fiercely for more than half an hour on the city wall to retreat quickly. The spearmen stepped forward to meet the enemy.
, In addition, Pang Gang also ordered the cannon soldiers who had already beaten the barrels of their guns red to quickly disperse to the other three city walls to replace the cannon soldiers there.
After receiving the order, the cannon soldiers of the Lingshan Guards immediately retreated. The pikemen, under the command of their respective small flags and general flags, retreated and kept a distance from the city wall, preparing to welcome the Tatars who invaded the city wall.
Soon, a Tatar showed his head on the city wall. A Qing soldier holding a round shield and a half-moon hatchet in his right hand rushed up first. His head and neck were particularly thick, his whole body was powerful, and his cheeks were full of muscles.
He has a curly beard and several deep scars on his face. Looking at his armor and the flag on his back, he is actually a leader of the Qing army who is equivalent to a small flag in the Ming army.
At this time, a Tatar with very rich combat experience climbed up the ladder to the top of the city and did not look around. Instead, he waved the shield in his hand left and right to protect himself to avoid the sharp blades of the enemy behind the city wall.
stabbed him, and then jumped up onto the city wall with his shield. Then he shouted loudly and rushed forward a few steps, trying to use his momentum to scare the Ming army on top of the city. This method he had frequently used in previous battles.
It still works every time.
Unexpectedly, the Ming army's obstruction he expected did not appear. Instead, he saw six Ming soldiers holding long spears and wearing bright red mandarin duck jackets standing in front of him. They stood in a row under the command of a leader.
, all let out a loud shout.
"kill!"
The six spearmen held their spears and used all their strength to stab the Zhuanda leader viciously. The six spears were directed at several vital points on his body from six different directions. This Zhuanda was also very powerful.
Bravely, he waved his shield to block the attacks of four spears. In addition, the hatchet in his hand also made contact with a spear, making a heavy impact. Only one spear passed through the blocking contact between his shield and hatchet.
It reached him, but it was the spear that slipped through the net that killed him.
Under Pang Gang's request and the pikemen's hard training day after day, the pikemen only learned three spears, thrust, anti-stab and side thrust. They have practiced these three moves extremely proficiently.
The tip of the iron spear penetrated his throat. The Zhuanda's face suddenly turned pale, and he made a vague "drink" sound in his throat, as if he had choked on water. He loosened his hands.
, threw away the shield and hatchet in his hand and grabbed the spear head stuck in his throat, trembling all over and holding on to the spear head without letting go. His strength was so great that the spearman
For a while, I couldn't pull out the gun.
Seeing such a scene, Xiao Qi, who was leading the team, shouted again. The spear in his hand was like a poisonous snake spitting a message, and it pierced into the belly of Zhuanda, who was completely defenseless. Then four more spears pierced in.
into his body, this time the Zhuanda could no longer hold on, and his whole body gradually softened. Finally, he slowly loosened the hand holding the gun head, and his heavy body fell to the ground with a bang, and the armor on his body
It made a dull sound after hitting the stones on the city wall.
This Zhuanda died like this, with one eye wide open for a while, as if he was unwilling to die in peace!
At this time, two more Qing soldiers in vests appeared at the top of the city. Two of them were holding round shields, one was holding a heavy knife, and the other was holding a long-handled broadsword. They had already heard the roar of the Zhuanda before he died.
The two vests glanced after hearing the sound, but they could clearly see the movement inside the city wall.
When this Ming army flag saw the enemy appear again on the city wall, he immediately ordered: "The pikemen retreat immediately and form a formation!"
Following the order, the six gunmen formed a row under the command of this small flag, with the head of the gun at the same level as the throat, the distance between the two feet about shoulder width, the center line of the left foot and the heel of the right foot in line, both knees
Bend slightly naturally, lean your upper body slightly forward, center of gravity slightly forward between the two feet, and stare at the two Tatars.
After the two sides faced off for dozens of seconds, the two Tatars could no longer bear it any longer. They looked at each other, shouted in unison, and rushed toward the pikemen in front of them.
The Qing soldiers had excellent personal skills and rich experience, so they had no doubt whether they could defeat the six Ming soldiers in front of them. However, after they fought, they found that the Ming soldiers in front of them were too shocked to deal with.
Their skills may not be as good as mine, but the cooperation between them is so tacit. They are quite organized in their advance and retreat when fighting with them, and they can't do anything to them at the same time. In fact, these two Qing soldiers
This feeling is not surprising. It should be noted that the sergeants of Lingshan Guard have undergone rigorous training. The tacit understanding of using guns and swords in coordination with martial arts has been deeply rooted in their bones. They only practice three moves on weekdays. I don’t know how many times they have practiced it. One shot is stabbing, isn’t it?
If you die, I will die! It is precisely because of the energy and tacit cooperation of this fight to the death that they, farmers who were holding plows and shovels a few months ago, can compete with these Qing soldiers who have practiced killing skills since childhood.
, and even gradually gained the upper hand.
At this time, Pang Gang and Yi Jiang also came to the city with dozens of guards. Wherever they saw the Tatars, he would burrow in. With his terrifying brute force and the weapon that weighed dozens of
With a heavy iron shield and a scimitar that was as sharp as clay, when he fought against the Qing soldiers on the city wall, no one could stop him.
As more and more Qing soldiers jumped into the city wall, Pang Gang didn't know how many Tatars he had killed. At this time, the weapon in Pang Gang's hand was no longer a scimitar;
I don’t know where he found the heavy mace. He wielded the mace, which was three feet long and weighed more than 30 kilograms. It was like a deserted place among the Qing soldiers. He often hit the Qing soldiers with one blow.
People wearing shields were swatted like flies. Under the pressure of gravity, Qing soldiers who were hit often vomited blood or suffered broken bones and tendons.
Under the leadership of Pang Gang, the Ming army became more and more courageous as they fought. After the Qing soldiers rushed to the city wall, the remaining soldiers were slowly felt by the Ming army in the corner of the south city wall.
This was a group of dozens of Qing soldiers. Under the leadership of a Niu Lu, they slowly retreated to the city wall. In front of them was a group of dozens of spearmen. Almost all of these spearmen were covered in blood.
Waiting for the Qing army in front of you with murderous intent.
"kill!"
Under the leadership of a general banner leader, dozens of spearmen rushed forward in one stride. Just as the two sides were about to make contact, something surprising happened. Niu Lu, the leader of the Qing soldiers, actually made an astonishing move.
In a surprised move, he dropped the heavy sword in his hand and jumped out from the top of the city very neatly. Then dozens of Qing soldiers under him also jumped down. These Qing soldiers actually escaped, and they were completely unaware of the situation.
Regardless of whether it is in hand or not, I would rather break my leg than fight with these Ming troops!
In this way, Pang Gang led thousands of Ming troops to drive out the Qing soldiers who jumped on the city wall like ducks, completing an almost incredible miracle...
