The wail of the burning man made the surrounding sergeants a little frightened, and the fire siege equipment became the reason for them to retreat, Yuan Shao saw that the first team began to retreat, and immediately shouted, "Beat the drum!" Let them go on the offensive! The second and third teams pick up! The overseers lined up two hundred paces from the city wall, and anyone who dared to retreat without an order would be killed! ”

Knock knock knock!

The urging drums sounded, and the second and third teams entered the city wall one hundred and fifty paces with their shields, while the overseers with strong crossbows and broadswords stood two hundred paces, and some of the first sergeants who escaped were killed on the spot by the overseers, and the high poles were no longer bare, but evolved into rock sugar gourd strings.

"Brethren! Advancing is also death, and retreating is also death, Qu Shuai said, one head, five acres of land! Kill! Kill it!! ”

"Quick! The ladder is lifted up, arrows! Come on!! ”

The three teams of soldiers and horses that were selected as the lead were not weak brigades, and the previous retreat was just that they had always been accustomed to retreating when they were strong, but now they have been put on the tip of the gun behind their backs, and it will not work if they don't go up.

"Melee team prepare! Put a gap for them and let them come up where we want them to come up!

The archers shoot backwards! Crossbowmen shoot diagonally from both sides of the wall!

Musketeers prepare, don't attack without my orders!

Don't let the artillery and catapults be disturbed and continue to attack the enemy's ordnance! Xian Yufu saw Yuan Jun stepping on the fire and rushing up, knowing that now the enemy army was fighting with a breath, as long as he insisted that the other party was venting his breath, this first battle would be won.

The rain of arrows continued to fall, and the Yuan army began to organize archers to counterattack, and gradually, they found that there was a section of the city wall that did not throw the terrible fire pot down, and a Yuan army officer immediately commanded several small groups of soldiers and horses to attack this section of the wall.

Finally, the first Yuan army to climb to the top of the city appeared.

And the Yuan army, who found the dawn, immediately gathered in this direction.

But before Yuan Jun, who was the first to climb the city wall, saw two spears piercing his head, and he hurriedly tried to block it with a shield, but was shot through the chest by a crossbow arrow.

He dropped his sword and shield, covered his stomach and looked at the Northern Expeditionary Army in front of him, and saw a V-shaped squad, the leader of the squad was two shield soldiers, then two pikemen, then two halberders, and finally two crossbowmen and an officer with a large sword and a small flag on his back.

And there are hundreds of such squads!

"Mandarin Duck Array.... Xian Yu didn't relax his training when his eldest brother was guarding the side. Ma Qiang looked at the ranks of sergeants on the city wall and the familiar formation, nodded and smiled.

The Mandarin Duck Formation, a formation born in 1,300 years, is also infinitely powerful in this era.

One by one, Yuan Jun climbed the city wall, and was killed on the spot again and again, the cloud ladder can only go up one person at a time, even if the brave sergeant, as soon as he got on the city wall, he was attacked by ten times the enemy with a mandarin duck array, it was difficult to resist.

After all, there are still few first-class generals like Lejin.

"Boom !!"

Suddenly, an explosion caught the attention of everyone up and down the city walls.

"Keep the rhythm going! Do not be affected, officers of all ranks command the troops to continue the fight! The Lu bus is coming up again! Artillery and catapults smash it for me!! ”

After Xian Yufu gave the order, he hurriedly asked the sergeant to check where the explosion came from.

The explosion came from the city gates.

I don't know when, Yuan Shao secretly sent a team of black-clothed soldiers to join the ranks of the Montenegrin army, and transported hundreds of catties of explosives to the city gate by means of people's backs, and tried to blow it up once.

Of course, although the gate was blown open, the back of the gate was full of gravel and earth, so it was fine.

"This Yuan Shao is very cloudy!"

Ma Qiang touched his chin and gestured with his hand, and found that Yuan Shao probably knew the power of his artillery, and he put himself far away, and the cannon couldn't hit at all.

Well, it seems that the battle of the boundary bridge was a loss.

The cannon can't hit ... Try the two kicks!

"Come on, pull the second kicker up, and aim in the direction of the enemy's flag!"

Well... Ma Qiang, who does not participate in the command, is indeed quite idle.

The first blasting had no effect, but it was finally tried out that the road to the city gate was not feasible, Yuan Shao was not too depressed when he touched his beard, Ma Qiang knew that he had gunpowder, if he was not prepared, then he had to wonder if there was a trick in it.

"Ming Gong, since Ma Qiang doesn't dare to come out, it's better to let the diggers dig a tunnel to the city, and then pile up explosives and blow up its city walls!" Frustration immediately offered advice.

Yuan Shao felt that the solution was good, and asked Fu Zhu to choose a suitable place to start digging tunnels.

On the battlefield, the siege force of 9,000 people has gradually become unable to hold on, although you can see the gap above the city wall, but the crossbow arrows that continue to be fired on both sides and the friendly troops who have not heard from them after going up seem to tell everyone that this is a trap.

On one of the batteries, several artillerymen were fiddling with Ma Qiang's second kick in fear, they already knew that it was full of gunpowder, and they didn't understand the difference between this thing and the explosives bag.

The only difference is probably that Ming Gong said that this thing is used in the same way as a cannon, pointing at the enemy.

But after the light is over, can this bamboo cannon still fly out by itself?

"Ming Gong, it's already set... Ming Gong should stand back a little, it's too dangerous here! A military marquis lowered his head and said, Ma Qiang thought about it, so he asked people to lengthen the fuse, and then hid behind the bunker of the city wall fort and waited for the result.

The sparks quickly approached the propulsion part of the rocket, and Ma Qiang used five for this first test launch.

“biubiu~biubiu~biu~~”

The sound of the two kicks played in childhood sounded, and one by one the primitive rocket launchers were fired in their own direction under the strong thrust.

Ma Qiang picked up the binoculars and stared, and then, his face darkened.

I saw that after a rocket was launched, it began to draw a trigonometric curve, and then a fierce man drilled down, and it seemed to have a tendency to evolve into a ground-penetrating rocket, and then exploded first in a group of Yuan troops.

I didn't fly this one.

Of the other four, one flew the farthest, nearly four miles, and the direction was also very accurate, but it exploded in the air, and the remaining three flew for two to three miles, and then exploded in turn.

Hey, what a failure~~

Ma Qiang felt that he still had to throw this thing to Yue Yang, and do some experiments before he could actually fight.

Luckily, I didn't fly back... Well, I won't laugh at Ah San anymore, this thing is quite rare, and it feels similar to subject two.

But then, Ma Qiang heard a cheer.

？？？

Who's laughing at themselves!

No, it's Yuan Jun who retreated!

Ma Qiang took a closer look and found that his first trigonometric rocket actually fell on the head of Yuan Jun's team, and the few deterrent rock sugar gourd strings were gone, and Yuan Jun, who had long been unable to hold on, had the confidence to run back with a roar.

"Musketeers, step forward! Shoot!! Shoot!!! ”

At the last moment, Xian Yufu sent musketeers, Ma Qiang listened to the gunshots like bursting beans, shook his head, and turned around to talk to Xian Yufu, don't think that the independent division is not its own soldiers, so it is only given meat, and the independent division should eat bones!

The first battle of the Yuan army in the siege of the city, defeated!!
