The moment Arthur was shot and fell, the gun sniper quickly locked onto his position and shot the Franco musketeer who fired.
Zhang Yanling was behind the wall not far from Arthur. When he saw Arthur falling, he immediately rushed forward to check the injury. But he saw Arthur lying on the ground, covering his chest with his hands, and blood seeping out from between his fingers.
, shouting in panic and panic.
Zhang Yanling originally saw that the wound was in the vital part of his chest and thought it was definitely hopeless. But when he saw that although Arthur's face was pale and he was shouting in panic, he did not seem to show signs of defeat immediately. It seemed that the injury was not as serious as imagined.
After removing his hand covering his chest and tearing open his red robe, he found that the wound was on the right side of his chest, which meant that the bullet did not hit his heart.
"I'm going to die, I'm going to die...cough cough cough. Damn it, damn it, I'm going to die. Oh my god." Arthur yelled randomly, and there was blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.
Zhang Yanling told Arthur through Mrs. Bellen: "Your Majesty, don't panic. It missed the vital point. You won't die yet. I will save you."
Arthur didn't believe it, he still yelled loudly and twisted around in panic.
Outside the castle, the attack of the French soldiers has been launched. The French soldiers holding the wooden rows against the door panels are advancing forward like moving wooden walls. The giant triangular stairs pulled by the horses also begin to move forward.
Dozens of musketeers behind wooden shields began to bombard the city head, and a large number of longbowmen also began to fire arrows at the top of the city wall. For a time, bows, arrows and bullets enveloped the front wall.
The Ming Dynasty bird gunmen began to fight back. The bird cannons roared and rows of steel balls were shot towards the city.
The plank array of the Folan Robots is indeed bulletproof. The steel ball bullets hit the rows of planks and sent sawdust flying, but they rarely penetrated the thick planks. Even if they penetrated, they were at the end of a powerful crossbow and could not cause any damage to the enemy.
Fatal damage. All the Franco soldiers huddled behind the tall door panels and advanced step by step. From the top of the castle wall, only a few exposed body parts could be seen. It was difficult to hit their bodies directly.
At this time, the difference between good marksmanship and average marksmanship is revealed. In this case, the gunman with excellent marksmanship can seize every opportunity to hit the body parts exposed outside the wooden shield, causing damage. But the marksmanship is average.
The bird gunners can only rely on luck to shoot. The decision will be made.
The bows and arrows fired by the Franco's archers were intensive. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, except for the Bird Gun Guards, the rest of the soldiers hid under the wall. They held Jingua Lei in their hands and prepared to throw them. The Bird Gun Guards
He was afraid of being shot from the shooting port of the battlement, with only half of his head exposed, but it was quite safe.
Even with the cover of wooden shields, under the fierce shooting of the Mingbird gunners, soldiers in the Fo Lang formation were constantly shot and fell, and screams of misery could be heard one after another. But this time, they were all told that they would never
You must take half a step back. Without an order to retreat, you are absolutely not allowed to escape. Otherwise, you will be executed on the spot.
Cassie and others granted the low-level non-commissioned officers the power to execute on the spot the soldiers who escaped from the battle. This act was a great shock. Therefore, although there were constant casualties, the offensive formation did not become scattered and continued to advance densely.
Amidst the sounds of horns and screams, the Franco soldiers and horses began to climb the slopes outside the castle, approaching the city wall step by step. Their formation became tighter, and the wooden door panels were tightly together, crowded together.
They not only blocked the front, but also raised the door panels above their heads as a shield. Because they knew that they were about to enter the throwing range of the opponent's most terrifying explosive firearms.
Forty steps away, Chen Shiyi gave a stern order. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, who were holding golden melon thunders, lit the fuses at the same time, quickly stood up and threw more than a hundred golden melon thunders towards the city. The smokey golden melons fell on the Buddha like thunderstorms.
Above the heads of Langji's soldiers. Some of them rolled down from the gaps in the wooden boards, and some jumped and rolled on the door panels like dewdrops on lotus leaves.
As the deafening roars continued, a curtain wall of fireworks rose up from the slope. Only the screams and shouts were heard. Soon, the smoke and dust were blown thin by the wind, and the slope was in a mess. Franji
Many soldiers fell.
However, unlike the expected effect, the number of casualties was not high. The opponents who could explode more than a hundred golden melons immediately fled because they would kill and injure hundreds of people in an instant. But now, there are not enough casualties.
Hundreds of people. Most of them suffered minor injuries.
The wooden shield array of the Fo Lang robot still has an excellent protective effect. Unless it is a golden melon that falls to the ground, the explosion that falls at the feet of the crowd will produce huge lethality. Once it is blocked by the door panel above their heads, even if it happens
The explosion will not cause fatal damage to the Franco soldiers below.
The door panel will be blown into several pieces, but most of the fragments in the golden melon are also blocked. The impact can indeed make them fall instantly. But the impact can't hurt anyone.
The formation of the Fo Langji men was quickly restored, and their pace became faster and faster, charging towards the bottom of the city wall with shouts.
Seeing this, Chen Shiyi and others had no choice but to order another golden melon thunder throw. The roar of repeated counterattacks rang out, but they could no longer stop their charge. Fo Langji men poured into the bottom of the city wall like a tide. What they did at the first moment
It is to put wooden boards on the head and form a barrier of wooden roof corridor under the city.
Some of them even carried hammers and nails, and connected the door panels with wooden strips and set up supports, as if they were here to stay.
Pumpkin thunder is thrown down like raindrops. At this time, only this thing can have a relatively good killing effect. Bird gunners can only deal with subsequent enemies, and the blind spots under the city wall can only throw thunder downwards and explode.
In the sound, smoke and dust flew, and flesh and blood flew everywhere. However, the effect was greatly reduced.
Moreover, the most terrible thing is that the number of Jingua Lei is already small. In this situation, we cannot be stingy. A group of soldiers threw them down one by one. It was not until they reached out to touch the skin bag that they found that it was empty. Only then did they realize that
, Jinguarei has been sold out.
The Folangji people used the simplest method to offset the fatal damage caused by Jin Guarei. After paying a smaller price than before, the cloud echelon team and the more than a dozen triangular stairs pulled by horses arrived at the bottom of the city wall. At this moment, the city
The Jingua Lei leading the garrison have all been used up.
The tall ladder was erected and began to move closer to the city wall. The triangular ladder also began to approach the city wall. The Franco soldiers aligned the top of the triangular ladder with a few feet below the crenellations of the city wall, and then began to fix the wheels.
The Ming soldiers on the city wall could only use bows and arrows to shoot downwards. This was an extremely dangerous behavior. Although the opponent's matchlock guns were very few, they were a real threat to the guards who exposed their bodies on the city wall. Good.
Under the suppression of the cannon gunners, they no longer dared to shoot unscrupulously, but the lethality of bows and arrows was really limited. Even the Jingua Lei could not cope with the situation, and the bows and arrows could not stop it.
The Folangji soldiers officially began to attack the city wall. Hundreds of ladders were set up on the city wall. The Folangji soldiers densely climbed up the ladders. There were a large number of soldiers hiding under the wooden corridors below, ready to take over. Once the soldiers above
After falling down, the soldiers in the wooden corridor lined up and continued to climb up.
On the triangular staircase, a large number of Folangjis rushed up the slope. It was not easy to attack the city with a ladder, but a large number of ladders involved a large number of manpower. The construction of the triangular ladder and the subsequent attack created conditions.
Once the triangular stairs are built, it will be a long ramp leading to the city wall. It is like going up stairs.
The Folan robot can dash upwards and charge. This is the biggest threat to the siege.
The Francons regarded this attack as a real siege. European sieges have their own unique traditions. European city-states are mainly high-walled castles, and they also have powerful catapults and
Siege weapons such as ballistae, rams, and cloud chariots. However, the soldiers and horses in Guli City did not have these heavy equipment. But they still built a wooden gate formation and a triangular staircase based on the principles of the cloud chariot and the shield formation.
It seemed that they were going to succeed. Because the number of defenders at the top of the city was too small, they were already a little concerned about one thing and not the other.
However, once the siege was launched, the number of casualties among the Francois increased rapidly. The soldiers no longer had a tight protective formation, and the gunners had the opportunity to kill them at close range with one shot. The soldiers on the ladder looked out.
The first thing you see when you come up is often a bird gun on your forehead. The same is true on the triangular stairs. Several bird gun guards stand side by side and shoot in a row, killing several people. Unless there are
Protect yourself with a shield, otherwise you will die.
The other soldiers of the Ming Dynasty also have long swords in their hands. If there is a breakthrough, they will swarm up and kill the enemy.
However, there were too many Fo Langjis, and hundreds of Ming soldiers could not afford to defend the wall that was hundreds of steps wide. The opponent kept charging upwards, and if this continued, it would be a matter of time before the city wall was breached.
The muskets of the musketeers are not unlimited. Although the shooting speed is faster, it also requires timely cleaning of the residue in the barrel and cooling of the barrel. At this time, even if it is only for a short time
A cease-fire lasting more than ten seconds may allow more than a dozen Franco soldiers to slip through the net.
The battle entered a white-hot stalemate. The frenzied attack by the Folangji gradually gained the upper hand, and they had broken through the city wall on a large scale several times. If Chen Shiyi had not led a fire brigade composed of more than twenty brothers with strong martial arts skills to rush to the scene,
By the time the enemies are cleared, the city wall may have been completely breached.
"The Duke has ordered us to withdraw into the central castle and abandon the outer walls." A guard rushed up the city wall and shouted loudly.
