Three hundred rockets turned into a hail of arrows and shot at the Qing soldiers on the well fence.
The arrows of the Long Snake God Machine were poisonous, and once shot, the whole person was dead. Although there was a wooden guardrail on the manhole, the upper body of the Tatar was still exposed outside the guardrail, and the Qing gunner was shot many times.
The bows and arrows pierced the chests, necks, and even heads of the Tatars. Many Tatars grabbed the bows and arrows stuck in the wounds, shouted loudly, and rolled on the spot. Several Tatars fell down the manhole railing while rolling.
He fell half to death on the cold muddy ground in winter.
Although the Hundred Tigers Running Arrow is not poisonous, its gunpowder is more powerful and can even break through the wooden guardrail on the well railing and assassinate the Tatar body behind the guardrail. Several Tatar soldiers hid under the wooden plank as soon as they saw the rocket car being launched.
But he was still shot and pierced by arrows from hundreds of tigers.
A rocket car was shot out, and almost half of the Qing soldiers on a manhole were killed.
Cao Bianjiao was overjoyed when he saw the effect of the rocket car. This kind of rocket car has a dense firepower of arrows and can be said to be a powerful weapon for defending the city. Being able to kill more than ten Tatars at one time is no small feat.
It's a pity that the cost of rocket cars is too high to equip them in large quantities. Otherwise, if hundreds of rocket cars fire in a salvo, how many Tatars will die?
After a while, the Tatar ladder truck moved up. The Tatars filled up the moat and were about to attack the city.
A ladder was set up on the two-foot-high city wall. Thousands of dead Tatar soldiers, armed with various weapons, began to climb up the city wall. These dead Tatar soldiers were all wearing two layers of armor, and a layer of iron-lined cotton on the outside.
A, wearing a layer of chain mail underneath. They were attacked on the wall by the elite Baiyala behind them, and were not allowed to retreat. But if anyone tried to retreat, the Baiyala would kill them on the spot without mercy.
Under the cover of the gunmen, thousands of dead Tatar soldiers howled and rushed up the ladder. Their forward momentum made Cao Bianjiao on the city wall look very ugly.
Do the Tatars really want to capture Tashan? Are they spending a lot of money?
However, Cao Bianjiao was called General Cao, and the soldiers and horses under his command were not vegetarians. Cao Bianjiao hid behind the wall and loudly ordered the Ming troops on the wall to block the Tatars' main attack direction.
Behind the crenellated wall, the dismounted cavalrymen from Ji Town, armed with three-eyed muskets, fired at the dead Tatar soldiers on the ladder.
The three-eyed gun is a close-range shooting firearm. It consists of three barrels. Each barrel is filled with gunpowder and projectiles. It can be fired directly when used. Although this weapon can only bombard within thirty steps.
No matter how far the target is, it will be inaccurate. But for cavalry melee or city defense, this kind of firearm is still very practical.
At this time, the Qing army was climbing the ladder with its head buried in the air and had basically no defense against the three-eyed cannons. The Ming army rushed to the crenel and lit the three-eyed cannons. After firing the three-eyed cannons, they hid inside the city wall to reduce the number of people exposed to the Qing army's cannons.
time.
The sound of crackling on the city wall continued, and clouds of black mist emerged from the three-eyed musket. Although the Tatars attacking the city were wearing heavy armor, at such a close range, even the heavy armor could not protect them.
The bombardment of the three-eyed gun. Once the lead bullet hits, it can immediately penetrate the Tatar's helmet, penetrate their double-layer armor, and tear open the flesh and blood under the armor.
However, the fire gunmen of the Qing army were not vegetarians. Within a few seconds of Ji Zhen's shooters leaving the protection of the wall and shooting with their three-eyed muskets, many people were targeted by the fire gunmen of the Qing army. From time to time, there were gunshots on the city wall.
The Jizhen cavalrymen were shot by Qing gunmen and fell down screaming.
Because they were suppressed by the gunmen outside the city wall, the Ming army's shooters did not dare to aim carefully, and the hit rate of the three-eyed gun was somewhat low.
Cao Bianjiao was always observing the situation on the battlefield: so far, there had been no disturbances on the city wall. Although the three-eyed musket on his side could not be aimed stably, it was still a close range shot and killed many Tatars.
From what Cao Bianjio could see from the side of the wall, nearly ten Tatars were beaten to death. On the north wall, which was more than a mile long, I don't know how many Tatars were killed.
Cao Bianjiao tightened his grip on a three-eyed gun and calmed his mind. He rushed out of the wall and fired a lead bullet at a Tatar horseback soldier who was climbing on the ladder. After shooting the gun, Cao Bianjiao
Without even looking at the result, he hid behind the wall again.
As soon as he returned behind the wall, he heard a Tatar scream from outside, and then the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. Apparently the Tatar vest was hit and fell under the ladder.
Seeing that the general and the soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy and achieved victory, the Jizhen cavalry around Cao Bianjiao cheered in unison, boosting their morale.
Next to Cao Bianjiao, Tashan's local guard, Lieutenant General Liang Yunjin, looked with admiration at Cao Bianjiao, who personally went into battle to kill the enemy, and said in a deep voice: "General Cao is really a hero."
Cao Bianjiao suddenly rushed out again, fired two muskets at the entrance of the crenel, and then quickly hid behind the crenel wall.
After fighting for a while, the three-eyed muskets of the Ming army were gradually exhausted. The Ming army had no time to reload, and the dead Tatar soldiers rushed onto the city wall.
Three thousand Jizhen cavalry and two thousand Tashan local guards besieged the dead Tatar soldiers who rushed up on the city wall.
Although the Tatar dead soldiers were brave, Cao Bianjiao's Jizhen cavalry was not weak at all. Moreover, the Tatar dead soldiers rushed up one by one, as if to fuel the tactics. The defenders on the city wall used more strikes and fewer blows to steadily control
Looking at the situation on the city wall.
One by one, the Tatar cavalry soldiers rushed to the top of the city and were surrounded by Jizhen cavalry. After a while, they were killed by swords thrust from the side or behind, and lost their lives.
Cao Bianjiao held the three-eyed gun with all the bullets in his hand, and used the three-eyed gun as a hammer. He looked for an opportunity, suddenly jumped up high, and struck a hammer on the head of a cavalry soldier whose back was facing him, knocking off the helmet of the cavalry soldier.
Even his head was dented. The Qing soldier fell to the ground without saying a word and died without even making a scream.
But as soon as the Qing soldiers at the top of the wall died, the Han troops on the well fence began to shoot into the crenels. Cao Bianjiao hurriedly hid behind the crenellations.
After fighting for a while, more and more Qing troops climbed up the city wall. Cao Bianjiao gradually felt the pressure of the Qing troops. He was about to rearrange his defenses when he suddenly heard the sound of gold from the middle of the Qing army.
The Tatars suddenly withdrew their troops.
The Tatars who stormed the city wall were at a loss. They jumped off the crenels and retreated like the tide.
Cao Bianjiao was stunned and couldn't understand why the Tatars retreated.
Cao Bianjiao watched for a long time on the city wall and saw 20,000 Qing troops abandoning their siege facilities and Tashan City, then forming a group and heading north. A quarter of an hour later, the south city gate suddenly opened, and a group of soldiers marched north.
The military scout quickly ran into Tashan City, ran up the city wall and half-knelt down in front of Cao Bianjiao.
"Commander! Reinforcements are coming!"
It turned out that reinforcements had arrived and forced back the Qing army attacking the city.
Cao Bianjiao's face lit up with joy and he asked loudly: "Uncle Xing Guo has come to help?"
The scout captain shook his head and said, "Uncle Xing Guo didn't come."
Cao Bianjiao's face sank and he said nothing. He silently wiped the blood off the three-eyed gun and tied it to his belt, seeming to be ready for the next tough battle.
