Chapter 90: Breaking the Door (2)
The flying bricks and stones fueled the power of the shelling, and the rubble shot indiscriminately like a torrential rain, hitting the people at the head of the city and the Qing soldiers with blood on their faces......
The people were in a mess, and some even dropped their weapons and turned around to flee.
As the commander of the war team, Qian Zong, with dozens of subordinates, held down the dozen or so people who fled first, and let them line up one by one.
The sword and axe hand rose and fell, and more than a dozen blood-sparkling human heads, accompanied by surging blood, rolled down on the city.
Thousands of people were suppressed by the killing intent of dozens of people.
Seeing that the soldiers were holding the ghost-headed broadsword that was still dripping blood, looking at them with murderous intent, the people retreated step by step......
"Whoever dares to leave his post without permission, this is the end!"
Mr. Qian's face was hideous, and as soon as he waved his hand, a soldier brought a basket of scattered copper coins.
"The money is placed here, as long as you kill one of the enemies, you will be rewarded with a penny, and if you can hold on until the rebels retreat, everyone will be rewarded with a penny!"
"Goo-dong!"
The action of the man swallowing saliva is clearly visible.
"See, there are thousands of us, and dozens of them have been killed by rebel shells!"
"Do you think you must be the unlucky one?"
Mr. Qian's face trembled, his back molars clenched tightly, and he roared these words out of his throat.
"Think about it, what kind of life are you living?
These copper coins are enough for you to live for several months, and enough for you to buy new clothes for your wife and baby! ”
"Do you want to be a resentful ghost who has a wronged soul under the knife, or do you want to finish the battle and go home to make your daughter-in-law and baby smile?"
"Or do you want to be chopped off by me here, be a lonely ghost, watch your father and mother be lonely, watch others sleep with your daughter-in-law, and beat your baby?"
The people are no longer flustered......
……
These cronies and generals have all been in the supervision team, so they naturally know the truth of giving a sweet date after a slap.
The people were already frightened by the blood all over the ground, and looked at the round head that was not blind, and looked at the small pigtails stained with viscous blood, and only felt two trembling ......
Then I was brainwashed by Mr. Qian, and suddenly felt that once I fled, I would inevitably be killed, and if I stayed at the head of the city, I might not be killed by the rebels......
……
The cannons at the head of the city had roared several times, and the ground in the distance, the red ground that had been ploughed away, was mixed with dots of wreckage.
The artillery at the head of the city is even bigger, and the power is naturally not comparable to Zhu Cijiong's small cannon, these red-clothed cannons, if they are loaded with enough gunpowder, the cannons can hit more than ten miles away!
It's just that these cannons at the head of the city are slower to reload and can't shoot at close range, which makes the rebels who are approaching within a hundred and ten zhang of the city gate calmly command the cannons and keep bombarding the city head......
At a distance of more than 100 zhang, muskets, bows and arrows could not be shot, and the artillery could only bombard the rear of the rebels.
The teeth of the Qing soldiers at the head of the city itched, but there was nothing they could do.
If it hadn't been for the sneak attack this morning, the Qing soldiers would have opened the city gates and counterattacked the rebels' positions.
The morale of the Qing soldiers was worn out little by little under the shelling of the rebels......
The head of the city was riddled with holes, and even the intact female wall was left with little left, and blood was dripping down the drainage holes...... The sticky blood stains made the city slippery......
The blue brick Yuzhou City, at the west wall, has become mottled like the ancient Chu old city on the top of Yuzhou Mountain......
On the city gate, there are also several watermelon-sized holes, and even cracks have appeared in the warp wood.
Even the thick gates could not stop the power of firearms......
……
"Straight thief, how can these bandits' cannons be so accurate?"
Li Shenjiang's face was like earth.
Just now he was supervising the battle on the city gate tower, but he didn't know that a cannonball smashed straight on the pillar of the city gate tower.
A large pillar with a thick thickness broke in response to the sound......
Although under the mortise and tenon structure, the breaking of a pillar will not collapse the entire city gate tower, but it frightened General Li's courage.
Where did these bandits come from?
In all fairness, his cronies are also veterans, but they can't compare to these bandits!
General Li Shen hid behind his own soldiers, his eyes flashing.
Don't say it's his son-in-law, even if it's the Liaodong soldiers under the prince of Pingxi, I'm afraid there is no such powerful gunner!
General Li was thinking about it, but he didn't know that suddenly a family member hurriedly came over: "Master, it's not good, the city gate is about to be smashed!" ”
He just went over to see it in person, the three-inch-thick city gate, the cracks that were bombed everywhere, and even several watermelon-sized holes appeared!
"Hurry up and let people go and block the city gate!"
General Li was in a hurry: "Demolish the houses at the city wall for me, and block the city gate with bricks and stones!" ”
He only felt that his hands and feet were cold, and his forehead was dripping, since the beginning of the war, it has not been an hour, and these bandits are about to break through the city gate?
Is this a bandit?
Even if it's the elite Eight Banners, it's nothing more than that, right?
The cronies hurried away, hurriedly took the soldiers, and went to demolish the houses and block the gates with bricks and stones.
As long as the city gate hole is blocked, then the rebels will be forced to use the method of climbing the city with ants to attack them!
This is a big benefit for the defenders of the city!
General Li squinted, only to feel that his hands and feet were slowly warming up - there were still three hundred elites in his hands, which was enough to prevent the rebels from landing in the city!
……
Yang Qilong held a monocular, looked at it carefully, and reported: "Your Highness, we have successfully knocked out the enemy's fort!" ”
Zhu Cijiong pointed to the area of the city gate tower above the city gate hole, and said in a deep voice: "Mobilize thirty artillery pieces for me, adopt the three-stage firing method, and suppress this section of the city gate hole!" ”
Zhang Daodao went to the artillery position in person to give the order, but Zhu Cijiong said to Li Henggong, who was accompanying him: "Yuan Hui, you personally led people and blasted the city gate for me!" ”
"Yes!"
Li Henggong gave a military salute, he took a deep breath, turned around and walked towards his post.
He is the second son of Li Tingran's brother, this time, the Li family decided to make a desperate bet, so they sent all the children of the family to the army to serve Zhu Cijiong.
Li Tingran was afraid that he would be pressed down by the Zhang family!
Although the Li family is slightly weaker than the Baishui Zhang family, it is also a local clan.
If they also bet with all their might, even if it is the Zhang family, don't want to stand alone!
Moreover......
In all these dynasties, the people in the hometown of kings have always had more famous generals - why is this?
Because they have already followed the king when the king first started to get into trouble, so that when the world is decided, they will be the dog slaughterers, and they will become famous generals through the ages......
