To the east of Changli City, facing the Guanhou Temple in the direction of the Jianlu Camp, the county magistrate Zuo Yingxuan and the guard Shi Guozhu were on the arrow tower watching the Jianlu coming out of the camp in the distance. Please remember the URL of this website:.
The alarm bell has sounded, and it is the turn of the garrisoned soldiers to stand ready on the city wall.
The civilians in the city, under the command of the leader, gathered towards the east of the city, mainly to provide logistics to the east. Because the news fed back from the city tower was that this time the prisoners were only attacking the east of the city.
When Jianlu was still within an arrow's range of the Changli city wall, he stopped and reorganized his team.
The first two rows are all Jianlu wearing heavy armor, holding large shields, and the following two rows are all archers wearing light leather armor. After that, there are thirty-six piles of Jianlu, with ladders.
The location is the center, and there are also giant trees used to hit the city gate, ready to go.[
No one spoke, and no one walked around at will. They just raised their heads and stared at the city wall of Changli. They only waited for orders to start attacking the city. As the saying goes, if orders and prohibitions are followed, a strong army will be built. Jianlu is worthy of being an elite, and his momentum threatens Changli.
However, the rural soldiers who had gone through the first offensive and defensive battle of Changli were not suppressed by the momentum of the Jianlu. Although they were not very calm, they were not panicked.
Jirharang rode a horse and stood at the front of the team, with Obai accompanying him. He would report back to the Great Khan as soon as the city fell.
Jierhalang's eyesight was very good, and he could see at a glance that Changli City was different from yesterday. Read the full text. He saw rows of wooden rafts diagonally upward and horizontally on the city wall, connected end to end, leaving no gaps.
He is a man who has experienced many battles and saw the usefulness of these wooden rafts at a glance. These wooden rafts can be easily placed on the battlements of the city wall, which greatly reduces the pressure of siege bows and arrows on the city head. He only needs to concentrate on
Just shoot arrows down from the crenels. Moreover, when climbing the ladder to the city, you have to drive these wooden rafts to climb over the city wall, which is another opportunity to kill the guards on the city.
Ji'erharang's head felt a little painful when he saw it. Who in this small county town of Changli came up with such a simple trick, but he broke the suppression of the bow and arrow that he relied on as his trump card, the Golden God.
Obai also saw it, but he was not worried. No matter how good the city defense was, it was just a defense by rural soldiers.
Seeing that Jirharan had not ordered the attack for a long time, he said: "Master Beile, the master is still waiting for the slave to go back and report."
Jirharannai moved the brave men with long weapons to the edge of the ladder as the first batch of people to climb the city. Then he ordered the drums to be beaten to attack the city.
Zuo Yingxuan and Shi Guozhu saw the four rows in front of Jianlu starting to advance, and their speed increased. The closer they got to the city wall, the more tightly they held the shields in their hands. There were probably two archers behind the four shields.
The county magistrate Zuo Yingxuan looked at the garrison Shi Guozhu, and the military command was given to him, and he gave orders.
Shi Guozhu saw through Jianlu's intention to use archers to suppress them first, so he ordered all the country soldiers at the top of the city to squat down and wait for the order.
The besieging Jianlu stopped a few feet away from the city wall and began to shoot arrows upwards. Fortunately, there were some wooden rafts blocking the way, so only a few arrows were able to shoot in through the crenellations.
The rural soldiers squatting on the city wall listened to the shouts of killing outside and the "doo" sound of arrows hitting the wooden rafts. They could not see the situation outside and began to get nervous. They all looked in the direction of the archery tower to see when they would counterattack.
The order came down.
However, Shi Guozhu did not move, still staring at Jianlu carrying the ladder outside the city, and did not care about the shield archers below. Because he knew that Jianlu could not attack the city with arrows.
Soon, Jierhalang let the ladder begin to attack the city. He also had to give the order. The arm strength of the archers was limited, not to mention that it was still more energy-consuming to aim upward and shoot. If you shoot for a long time, your hands will be sore and you will not be able to shoot the arrow.
, it is impossible to provide cover for the siege troops.
The builders carrying ladders and huge trees roared and came towards the city.
When the village soldiers heard the noise outside the city getting louder and louder, they knew that another Jianlu attack was coming, and they couldn't help but become anxious. Fortunately, at this time, the government officials began to run along the city wall and shouted the order: "Jianlu is about to attack."
City, remember to only take care of the ladder, and kill the prisoners who climbed the ladder to build the city."
The leaders of the rural soldiers stood up, avoided the crenels, and used the gaps in the rafts to observe the enemy's situation. They needed to convey the attack order to their men.[
The sound of "pa, pa, pa" sounded, and the ladder leaned against the city wall. The ladder that was higher than the city wall hit the wooden rafts, forcing the slanted wooden rafts to stand up. There were several wooden rafts that were not securely fastened.
He leaned back on the spot, allowing Xiang Bingfa, who was crouching behind, to stand up and fight back.
Four or five Jianlu held on to the ladder, and the Jianlu who followed them started to climb up the ladder quickly, holding a long weapon in one hand and holding the ladder in the other.
When Shi Guozhu saw this, he immediately said to the waiting government officials: "Quickly find some long sticks to prop up those sloping wooden rafts." After saying this, he looked nervously at the battlefield.
Zuo Yingxuan took a look and found that in today's battle, rolling logs and stones may not be used, and there are more long-range weapons. Therefore, he also ordered the government officials: "Let the civilians soak more arrows and send them to the city wall."
The yamen servants took the order one by one and left. Now they only exist as messengers, so as to facilitate the transmission of military orders. Everyone can tell by looking at the yamen servants' clothes that they are the messengers.
On the top of the city, there are five or six crenellations facing a ladder, or arrows or spears, greeting the prisoners on the ladder.
Jianlu often fell down before climbing halfway, but the Jianlu behind them still rushed up without fear of death. The latest chapter of Feng Xiang Rebirth. If they were lucky, they would use their long weapons to chop or lift wooden rafts.
A few times, and then it fell.
This time the musket was very efficient, and one shot after another was fired. It turned out that there was a musketeer with four or five loaders. After firing one shot, he sent it back. Someone took it back and handed back another shot.
Filled musket.
As soon as the war started, the musketeers' position was filled with smoke from the guns, making it difficult for the musketeers to see what was going on under the city. However, there was no need to see clearly, the ladder was the only place where the prisoners must pass, so just aim at the position of the ladder and shoot.
.
Jianlu, who was carrying the giant tree, rushed to the city gate with a roar, and then was protected by some strong men holding shields. They worked together and started to hit the city gate.
They all secretly rejoiced that the Ming army on the city wall might have been so frightened that they had forgotten to attack until now. It would be useless to be frightened when they broke open the city gate.
Shi Guozhu, who was on the arrow tower, had already noticed it and did not panic. He said to a yamen servant: "Pour the oil and burn the dog to death."
Jianlu at the city gate was very surprised. How could the gate of this small county be so strong? Even after being bumped several times, it didn't move at all.
They didn't understand it for a while, but bags of soil had actually piled up on the east city gate, blocking the city gate opening. Changli couldn't go out to fight back, so he might as well block it. However, the west city gate was left unblocked, but
If the main force of the Jianlu forces attacked the west gate, the soil bags beside the city gate could quickly fill up the city gate hole.
Various flammable oils collected from the city were poured down from the crenellations of the city wall, and some country soldiers each threw two torches down.
Jianlu was smelling the wonderful fragrance, but before he could wake up, the torch went down. The flames immediately rose into the sky and burned at the city gate. For a moment, Jianlu hurriedly dropped the huge tree and slapped the burning area on his body.
The huge tree was thrown to the ground, and no one took care of it. The prisoners at the city gate were all burned and rolling on the ground, crying and howling. The people who were burned to death were really miserable. They should be regarded as the retribution for all the bad things they had done.
.
The Jianlu who were not burned stayed away from each other. They would rather go to the ladder to be shot by arrows than to be burned to death. Moreover, they could no longer lift the huge tree because there was a sea of fire near the city gate.
Luo Xiao replaced another one and shot his soft-handed companion with an arrow, and shot an arrow down from a crenel. He himself had a strong arm, so he held the same strong bow as Shi Guozhu. He aimed at the prisoner holding the ladder, and shot
Their hands hold the ladder.
Luo Xiao was squirming while cursing secretly in her heart, "I'll show you the pig's hands covered in blood, show them one, and squirt them one by one."
After a period of time, Jianlu's archers realized that this was different from previous sieges. They were not the focus of the Ming army's greetings at the top of the city. So they broke away from the protection of their shields, ran towards the city wall, and began to shoot arrows at the crenellations.
.
As the distance got closer, the accuracy increased, and from time to time arrows were shot onto the top of the city from the crenellations.[
Luo Xiao specially held the hand of the ladder builder so that the ladder could not be stable and other soldiers could not climb the ladder. A Jianlu archer noticed this situation and stared at the crenel where Luo Xiao was. After estimating the time,
An arrow shot out.
As soon as Luo Xiao put the arrow on his bow, he ducked to the crenel and prepared to shoot the arrow, when he was attacked by the Jianlu sneak attack and shot an arrow to his chest.
He felt a huge pain in his chest, took a few steps back and fell.
When the companions on the side saw him, they quickly helped him down, and the civilian husband behind him took over.
The order from the archery tower has been passed down, and some archers and musketeers are to be sent out to fight the Jianlu archers. They are thin-skinned and have poor defense. They are easy to attack and can also reduce the threat of the rural soldiers on the city wall. In this way, Jianlu's bows and arrows
There were also casualties on the hands.
Ao Bai looked at the rear feeling very frustrated. The Ming army's defense was like a dog biting a turtle to the Jin army who only had ladders.
As soon as he took the reins, he began to rush forward, preparing to attack the city himself.
