Chapter 661: The Decisive Battle at the Top of Yecheng (8)
A team of northern expeditionary troops skillfully stabbed a sergeant who climbed the city wall to death, and was about to restore the formation and kill the next enemy, when suddenly a crossbow arrow flew in, and the pikemen standing in front suddenly lost his strength and fell to the ground.
The shieldmen in front hurriedly picked up, and a crossbow bolt flew in the back, hitting the other pikeman.
"Someone is hanging outside the wall shooting arrows, hack him to death!"
A sharp-eyed sergeant saw a hand between the women's wall and immediately understood where the crossbow arrow came from.
Because he originally used a crossbow, he naturally had no shield in his hand, and was stabbed by two halberders, but when he saw the dead man sneered, he grabbed the halberd that hooked his flesh and blood, and then fell down on his back, not letting the two halberders take back the blades, and then, the first dead soldier who turned up behind him pressed the bracket of the crossbow, and the two halberders covered their throats, and blood foamed in their mouths, and they couldn't speak anymore.
Koji Yi watched his team of first-class soldiers successfully climb the city wall, and smiled.
Since the defeat of the last boundary bridge, he has rebuilt the camp in Bingzhou, vowing to take revenge.
There were only 3,000 men in this army, and most of them were prisoners, bandits, and steppe aliens that he had recruited.
Under his tutelage, these people are not afraid of death, because they really have nothing to lose anymore, killing, being killed, drinking and eating meat, and making meritorious contributions to sleeping girls, which is the motivation for them to live.
Killing one is enough, killing two earns one.
In Zhongshan, Yuan Tan relied on this army and almost besieged Hua Xiong, if they weren't for the infantry and couldn't catch up with the cavalry, Hua Xiong's head would have hung outside Yecheng City a long time ago.
Excellent coordination, sophisticated equipment, strong martial arts, and a fierce combat style.
This is the first to die.
A team, only two hundred people, but they made a large gap in the originally impregnable Yecheng city wall, Zhang Yan and Fang Yue also saw the opportunity, and hurriedly ordered their subordinates to step forward to grab the merit, no, it was to come forward to support.
"Beep!"
The strangeness on the city wall also attracted the attention of Xian Yufu and Huang Xu, who immediately knew that this was a team of elite soldiers, and greeted him with a team of musketeers.
"Beep!"
"Bang!!"
The neat sound of gunfire stunned the first dead men who had killed in all directions, and then they rushed towards the musketeers at a faster speed.
When it is strong, it is strong, and it does not retreat but advances!
"Beep!"
"Bang!!"
"Beep!"
"Bang!!"
The three shots were finished, and Huang Xu looked at the first dead soldier who was still rushing towards him in surprise, this was the Yuan army that continued to charge after the first team could accept three musket bombardments since the start of the war.
"Get on the bayonet! Kill!! ”
Just as the first dead soldier didn't have time to use the crossbow, Huang Xu also knew that there was no time for another round of muskets, even if it was a three-stage shot, there would be a few seconds of pause in firepower, and there would be no time.
Syllable!
The musketeers put their bayonets on their muskets and followed Huang Xu into the crowd.
The bayonet of the musketeer, like the short gun, is not as good as the real spear, but with the cooperation of each other, the combat power is not weak.
"Come on! Hurry up!! ”
"Damn it, follow me!"
Fang Yue and Zhang Yan saw that the first dead man couldn't hold on, and they were about to die, and finally made progress, as long as they entered the city and killed Ma Qiang, it would not be a dream to tear the earth and seal the marquis in the future.
Just when Fang Yue and Zhang Yan were about to go on in person, Lu Yi waved his hand and said, "Mingjin!" ”
Ding Ding Ding ~~
The piercing sound of gold made the tide-like Yuan Jun quickly push down, and Huang Xu, who killed the last person who died first, gasped for breath on the spot.
He had never seen such a difficult enemy, and he had seen with his own eyes at least three soldiers of the Independent Division being carried by the first dead man to jump off the wall.
In order to deal with these people, the Northern Expeditionary Army suffered at least hundreds of casualties, which is still because many enemies died under the musket, which is simply incredible.
Whose troops are this, exactly?
"Alive! Find a living mouth!! ”
Huang Xu shouted loudly, but when the battlefield was cleaned up, except for a few who were seriously injured and unconscious, there was nothing to gain, and many of the surrounding soldiers chose to know their lives at the last moment.
But the waist badge on the sergeant's body still betrayed their identity.
"Camp first..."
Ma Qiang looked at the bloodstained waist card in his hand, and then looked at the officers below.
Several officers of the Sixth Army, their eyes were red.
This is their enemy of life and death.
"Koji Yi is not simple." Ma Qiang said in admiration, "It seems that we think too easily, even if Yuan's army is successful, we still have to experience the most tragic battle since the formation of our Northern Army."
Have the sergeants step up their night patrols and be careful of night raids. ”
"No!"
Ma Qiang looked back at the calendar on the edge of the table.
Seven days... I hope it will get through it.
"Send an electronic dragon and Ziyi, let them move to Quliang in five days, and move to Liang in six days, and then immediately pounce on Yecheng and cooperate with our army in a counteroffensive. The telegram was cced to Guangzong. ”
"No!"
Ma Qiang's issuance of this order was tantamount to giving Guangzong an ultimatum.
Seven days later, Zhu Rong must be born in Shexian County!
- Yuan Jun's camp
"Ming Gong, the situation is obviously favorable to our army, but Lu Yi withdrew without authorization, making my army's achievements fall short, which is really hateful!" As soon as Zhang Yan entered the door, she couldn't help but start scolding.
In this attack on Yecheng, his Montenegrin army suffered the greatest losses, but if he fought a war, he would endure it if he understood the overall situation.
But now that he has a chance to break Yecheng, he wants to withdraw from the army, what do you want to do?
Want to drain your own Montenegrin army?
Lu Yi didn't have any friends in Yuan Jun, so naturally no one helped him speak, and there were even people who were falling into the well.
"Ming Gong, Lu Yi is a native of Guzang County, Wuwei, I heard that Jia Xu is from Guzang County, and the two are friends in the same township!" A sentence made Yuan Shao suspicious.
Yuan Shao was able to start a business quickly, relying on his fellow villagers and friends in Yingchuan, Nanyang, and Runan, and he naturally understood what the word "fellow villagers" meant in this era.
That's your own person!
"Koji! What do you have to say? ”
Ko Yi glanced at Zhang Yan with disdain, in his eyes, Zhang Yan's command ability was simply as low as having not systematically studied military books.
Well... He was right!
"Yecheng firearms are sharp, there are a lot of defensive equipment, ants are attached to the siege of the city, even if there are all the members of my first battalion to attack, if you want to break Yecheng, it is difficult to succeed without killing or injuring 100,000 people, but although the firearms are powerful, they also have weaknesses.
It was precisely because the last general discovered their weaknesses and thought of a way to break the enemy that he ordered the troops to retreat. ”
"Weakness?" After the Battle of Jieqiao, Yuan Shao became a fan of firearms, and he didn't feel that firearms had weaknesses.
