Chapter 2215 Fighting in the southeast of the city
The Han army's musketeers had no time to reload, but the artillery on the city had already started roaring.
The shells fell directly in front of the trench, and explosions were heard everywhere. Tuyuhun infantry gritted their teeth and rushed forward. Although the enemy's firearms were powerful, it was obvious that there were not many firearms on the city top, and their power was not as expected.
So big - this is because most of the equipment in Wuwei are solid artillery shells and early explosive shells. Both the power and the explosion success rate are not as good as those used by the Han army during the Northern Expedition. After all, the northwest was not a
On the main battlefield where the Han army fought, it was considered good to be able to get some firearms and ammunition.
Moreover, the distance here in Wuwei is so long that it is difficult to transport some heavy artillery to places such as Anding. Otherwise, the manpower and material resources consumed are beyond the reach of the northwest states. Therefore, most of the equipment in Wuwei are light artillery.
The number of these light artillery is sufficient, but the range and so on cannot be complimented. He Ruobi even thinks that sometimes it is not as reliable as the trebuchet. Of course, this trebuchet refers to the thunderbolt chariot equipped by the Han army.
To the Han soldiers, the trebuchets of the Tuyuhun people outside were no different from those used by children for playing house, except that they were clearly piled on the opposite side because they were large enough.
But having artillery is always better than not having it at all.
The few old-fashioned trebuchets in the city also fired together, but what was more embarrassing was that the stone bullets almost hit one of his own people, so He Ruobi could only call a temporary stop. After all, the Han army soldiers rarely manipulated these old guys.
, I originally wanted to use them to make up the numbers, but let's forget it now, otherwise, if the Musketeers retreat into the city later, they may not be able to help but beat up their own people first.
The attack of Tuyuhun's soldiers was so crazy that He Ruobi felt that he had reason to suspect that Murong Shifu was adding fuel to the fire to scare these guys, making them feel that they would be dead if they could not take the Wuwei City in front of them - although in Jiu's current situation,
This seems to be true without adding any exaggeration.
A new round of musketry fired, and a row of corpses directly filled the trench. However, more Tuyuhun soldiers still stepped forward over the corpses of their companions. They skillfully crossed the trench and got closer and closer to the parapet.
At the same time, the Tuyuhun cavalry also surrounded them from both wings. Although they could not cross the ditch, their arrows could have a good effect when the musketeers focused their attention on the front.
However, the musketeers and crossbowmen on the city would not give them this chance, and soon drove the cavalry back again with random shots.
Unfortunately, the battle on the parapet did not go so smoothly.
The Tuyuhun soldiers screamed and climbed up the parapet, hacking desperately. Many Tuyuhun soldiers were already covered in blood. I don't know if they were hit by musket bullets, but as long as they could still move, they were attacking.
In a crazy attack!
The Han saber and shield bearers behind the parapet have already pushed forward. Some guys even jumped on the parapet, smashed their shields into the crowd, and then swung their swords and jumped directly into the crowd, no matter how many Tuyuhun soldiers rushed up.
, just swing the horizontal sword and chop violently.
Behind this breast wall is the city protection trench. There is the only existing "bridge" on the trench. It is called the "bridge", but it is actually just a few wooden boards. Once the Han soldiers cannot resist, they can retreat to the inside of the trench from here.
, and then enter the city through the southeast corner gate.
Because this requires the soldiers of the Han army to be able to advance and retreat flexibly, Mo Daoshou is lucky enough to say that heavy armored soldiers cannot be left outside, otherwise they will really escape death.
Even for the Mo Dao Shou, He Ruobi did not arrange too much. The ten Mo Dao Shou had already taken the initiative to fight out at this time, waving the Mo Dao to resist the densest and most violent attack of the enemy. However, more enemies gradually began to attack from their side.
The two sides went around and continued to rush towards the parapet. This also resulted in the scene where the sword and shield players mentioned before also took the initiative to kill.
He Ruobi stretched out his hand to hold on to the battlements. At this time, he was standing on the southeast corner gate, which was facing the main force of the enemy's front and overlooking the entire parapet front.
He Ruobi had to admit that there was indeed something wrong with his arrangement. If he had known that the enemy would be in such a relentless posture when they first came up, then he would have to attack all the elites no matter what and confront the enemy head-on. After all, he is like a Mo knife hand.
If the heavy armored soldiers and other cavalry units want to be effective, they can only play their role outside the city, or they have to wait until the battle enters the street fighting stage. In the tug of war of attacking and defending the city wall, their large-scale attacks are not only ineffective.
If you block the enemy, there is a high possibility of killing or injuring your own people.
Amidst the siege, I am where I am.
This is originally the motto of the heavy armored warrior and the swordsman.
But now, relying only on some swordsmen and shieldmen to cooperate with the musketeers, the thin defense line seems to be shaky.
The musketeers did not need He Ruobi's order, they had already consciously put their bayonets on the ground and stood ready. Once the swordsmen and shieldmen in front could not hold up and retreated, they would be responsible for holding up the defense line.
Five of the ten Mo Dao hands have been killed in the battle, and the remaining ones are gradually losing their strength.
"Go!" The leader with the musketeers ordered decisively. The musketeers jumped out of the parapet, and the muskets that had been loaded made a muffled sound. The muskets were almost pressed against the enemy's chest and fired. They didn't care at this time.
Why don't you have any of your own people, because there is nothing in the surrounding area that is not an enemy?
When this row of muskets came over, the Tuyuhun soldiers were obviously a little surprised. Many of them were shot and fell down, and those behind them were also a little panicked.
But soon someone shouted, "Go ahead while they can't reload!", constantly urging the Tuyuhun soldiers to charge upwards.
"We don't have bullets, but we still have bayonets!" The leader laughed, raised his musket, blocked, and assassinated, directly taking the life of a Tuyuhun soldier.
"Brothers, let's go!" The purpose of the Musketeers was very simple, which was to bring back the few Mo Daomen who were still struggling to fight.
The Mo swordsmen also knew that they were at the end of their strength, and they supported each other and retreated. At the same time, the swordsmen and shieldmen also came from both wings to join together, but even if the musketeers and swordsmen and shieldmen cooperated to cover each other, they were not far behind in numbers.
The opponent who surpassed his own Tuguhun army rushed forward like a mad tiger. The Han army soldiers could only be forced by the Tuguhun army to retreat all the way behind the parapet. Each of them was wounded more or less, and they were extremely embarrassed.
The artillery rumbled and fired again, almost grazing the scalps of the Han soldiers. The swirling wind made everyone's faces hurt, and their backs were numb. However, this round of artillery shells was blocked in time.
Withstood the attack of Tuyuhun soldiers.
The sound of ringing gold sounded in the city at the right time.
