0864 Bombardment of Li Jiucheng
Liu Pei comforted the soldiers and went to greet the generals who were rushing over. Liu Guozhu and Liu Zeqing were all prepared this time and wanted to cooperate with Liu Pei to attack the city. So as soon as Liu Pei's battle here ended, they appeared on the edge of the battlefield.
Liu Guozhu stepped forward and patted Liu Pei's arm and said, "Good job!" Almost made it! ”
Liu Pei said with a wry smile: "I just don't know how Li Jiucheng suddenly appeared in the city?" Otherwise, there is really hope for success! ”
Liu Guozhu said with a smile: "Fighting always depends on the will of God!" This defeat doesn't affect anything, these rebels can't get out anyway! ”
Other generals also stepped forward to comfort Liu Pei. At this time, a personal soldier ran over and said loudly: "Lord Zhu, please ask the generals to go to the meeting!" ”
Everyone came to the big tent with their own soldiers, and after saluting Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian, Zhu Dadian said: "I already know that this siege has failed!" But General Liu doesn't have to worry, this battle is very good! We'll have a chance next time! ”
Liu Pei immediately arched his hand and said, "Thank you for your forgiveness!" The last general will fight with all his might! ”
After a few discussions about the siege, it was decided that it was just a lack of luck. In the end, Liu Pei said hatefully: "It's all because Li Jiucheng is here, so he didn't die in the city!" If I don't kill him, I won't be able to get rid of the hatred in my heart! ”
Speaking of this, Liu Pei was suddenly stunned, then got up and asked, "Generals, do you think Li Jiucheng will go out of the city tomorrow to challenge?" ”
The generals were stunned for a moment, and then gave affirmative answers. Zu Dabi also said: "Li Jiucheng is quite proud and conceited! Today we were repelled to steal the city, and tomorrow we will definitely go out of the city to challenge and show off our martial arts! It's just that Sen General Liu, do you have any ideas? ”
Liu Pei rubbed his palms and said with a smile: "I really have some ideas!" ”
Zhu Dadian said with interest: "If General Liu has any ideas, you may wish to say it, so that everyone can discuss it together!" ”
Liu Pei said: "There are a large number of wreckage left on the battlefield. There's no problem hiding a few guns behind the wreckage! As long as we quietly dragged the artillery in at night and hid behind the wreckage.
When Li Jiucheng goes out of the city tomorrow to challenge, we will bombard him! I don't believe he won't die! ”
As soon as Liu Pei's words fell, everyone present applauded in unison! They all say it's a good idea! So that night, Liu Pei chose ten artillery crews and quietly touched the open space between the city and the trench.
As Liu Pei said, there are too many wrecks of the car in this clearing. With the relatively tall size of the Napoleonic cannon, it can be completely hidden. What's more, they themselves carry some planks to cover themselves.
The gunners entered the open field and began to search for suitable wreckage. If the location is suitable but there is no suitable wreckage, they camouflage a replica wreck out of a wooden plank. When they are ready, they quietly lurk and wait for the dawn.
Not long after dawn, the gates of Dengzhou City were opened. Li Jiucheng took the lead in leading 3,000 infantry to challenge!
Yesterday, Li Jiucheng repelled the attack of the Ming army, which made him very proud. So he decided to take this opportunity to challenge the Ming army again. If you win, your morale will be boosted again.
Li Jiucheng and his troops were advancing towards the edge of the range of the artillery at the head of the city. Just when he was looking forward to himself, he suddenly heard a cannon on the earthen wall opposite!
Li Jiucheng hurriedly raised his head and looked into the distance, and before he could find anything, he saw ten broken carts being pushed to the ground not far in front of him, revealing the ten artillery pieces behind!
Li Jiucheng was frightened when he saw it! Hurry up and turn the horse to run! But the gunners were ready, and the chambers were full of pre-loaded ammunition. And after dawn they checked it repeatedly, and even the fuses of the artillery were cut to the shortest!
Of the ten guns, six fired solid shells. The four guns fired shotguns. The four guns of the shotgun were at each end of the artillery position, and the purpose was to form crossfire and block Li Jiucheng's activity space to the greatest extent.
Just listening to a series of cannon sounds, the dense cannonballs flew to a place more than 300 meters away!
I have to say that Li Jiucheng's reaction is still very fast! But under the ambush of ten guns, no matter how fast he reacted, he was helpless!
Li Jiucheng turned around
Running away, he is only a few steps away from rushing into the ranks of his pro-soldiers, and as soon as he jumps off his horse, the pro-soldiers will become his shields! But just when he was about to succeed, a dense cannonball arrived!
All six solid shells missed without incident, and most of the shotguns were dodged by him! But two buckshots went in under his left ribs! At the same time, his war horse was also hit by three buckshots, and all of a sudden, Li Jiucheng fell to the ground with his horse and his horse!
After the artillerymen fired the artillery, they did not dare to look at the results of the battle at all. Instead, just turn around and drag the artillery and run! Because they were so close to the rebels, but at a distance of only three hundred meters, the rebel cavalry could easily catch up with them.
Sure enough, Li Jiucheng's personal soldiers all rushed over with horses! But the cavalry of the Guanning Army on this side also came up to meet the gunners. However, Li Jiucheng's personal soldiers still took the lead in approaching the gunners, and they had already shot several gunners with bows and arrows! At this time, Guan Ningjun finally arrived!
The Guan Ning army also opened the way with feather arrows, and dozens of arrows were shot head-on, and more than a dozen rebels fell on the spot! But Li Jiucheng's own soldiers chased the gunner like crazy, completely ignoring the bows and arrows and three-eyed guns fired from the opposite side!
Because they just want to avenge Li Jiucheng! After a long time of battle, they took a look at Li Jiucheng's wound and knew that there was no way to treat it! I'm afraid that the two lead bullets that entered the body have already stirred up Li Jiucheng's internal organs! In addition, he was also thrown by a horse, but I am afraid that the gods will not be able to save him!
The Guan Ning army and the rebels staggered, and in a short moment, people on both sides fell off their horses. But Li Jiucheng's personal soldiers did not all die, and a few people rushed over with wild shouts. But just these few people, the gunners are not afraid!
The gunners who were still alive took out their short guns from their waists and aimed them at them! There was a ping-pong noise, and the few remaining rebels fell off their horses!
The gunners immediately cheered and rushed up to cut the head! For these artillerymen, the chances that they will be able to cut off the enemy's head are very small, and if they finally have this opportunity, they must not let it go!
At this time, the cavalry of the Guanning army also came back, and they shouted and shouted: "Run! Come on! The rebels from behind are catching up! ”
