Chapter 223: The treacherous, cunning, and vicious Qin Chuan
After paying more than 30 percent of the heavy casualties, Yanguli and Baiyintu finally led their respective troops to the corners of the two turrets.
"Vertical baffle, quick."
"Smash the pickaxe and smash the wall out!"
"The archer puts arrows inside."
Yanguli hid in the shooting corner between the two gun muzzles, and shouted at his subordinates around him.
The surrounding Jiannu turned the shield cart upside down, leaning against the wall, and the baffle slanted upwards to resist the falling rocks and rolling logs from above.
Because the cannon hole on the first floor was about six or seven feet from the ground, the Jiannu had to find something to step on, and then pull out the corner bow, shoot the arrow directly into the cannon hole, and release the arrow into the arrow tower.
Some even threw mud and other debris into the cannon hole, trying to throw it into the barrel to block the barrel.
The holes in the walls are one or two times larger than the barrels, and in addition to firing the cannons outward, they can also be used to observe, and Jiannu's bows and arrows are specially aimed at the gaps next to the barrels, and the arrows "swish" in.
The Guan Emperor army inside had already taken precautions, and they used the wooden planks prepared in advance to jam the gaps around the cannon barrels, and when they pulled the cannon barrels back to load, they also quickly blocked them with wooden boards.
But there were always arrows that took the opportunity to shoot in and hit a few unlucky Guan Di troops.
The Guan Emperor Army on the top of the building did not throw the earth-shattering thunder, but first threw the stones, and when the stones fell like hailstones, the Jiannu who had no cover to resist was immediately smashed into a blur of flesh and blood, and after some unstable shield cars were smashed, the Jiannu below were pressed under the stones and baffles in groups.
At Yanguli's urging, a few Jiannu who were hiding under the shield cart began to wield iron pickaxes and smashed them into the gray wall where there were no brick joints in sight, and sparks flashed and disappeared.
After the first round of iron pickaxes went down, the few Jiannu all stopped, looked carefully at the wall, and found that the effect was completely different from what they expected, the iron pickaxe seemed to hit a hard stone, leaving only a shallow dent on the wall, not at all like a pickaxe directly embedded in the blue brick.
"My lord, it's made of stone." A Jiannu looked very bad on the spot.
Yanguli ran over to take a look, and couldn't help scolding: "Don't you know how to find brick joints?" Find the crevices in the mortar and dig according to them. ”
"Wow."
A few of the Jiannu brandished their pickaxes again and knocked around the wall to find the brick joints.
However, no matter how they knocked it, they did not find the so-called brick joint.
"My lord, there are no brick joints in this wall, it looks like a big stone, but there are some small stones in it." A Jiannu shouted with a pale face.
Yanguli ran over again and stared at the dense knock marks on the wall for a long time.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, Yanguli's brow furrowed tightly as soon as he saw it.
There really are no brick joints in this wall, and I don't know what to do, and there are pebbles the thickness of thumbs inside.
"Smash, smash, smash without bricks."
They now have no choice but to continue smashing the wall as originally planned.
Several Jiannu brandished iron pickaxes again and slammed them into the wall, but after a few smashes, those iron pickaxes were blunt, and some even broke into two and were scrapped directly.
"My lord, the ladder is coming, the ladder is coming."
When Yanguli's face turned pale, one of the guards pointed behind him and shouted excitedly.
There was a support army behind that was quickly resolved, and there were more than a dozen ladders in it.
Yanguli perked up: "Warriors, hold on to the shield cart and hold on for a while to help." ”
The morale of the slaves was also greatly boosted, and they looked for logs to reinforce the shield carts above their heads.
At this moment, a smelly liquid suddenly poured down from the top of his head, leaking through the gap in the shield cart, and drenching the part of Jiannu below.
"Fire oil! Get the cowhide, quick! Yanguli reacted very quickly, and hurriedly pulled out a pre-prepared cowhide from his back.
At this moment, several burning torches fell from the roof of the building, and several shield carts drenched in fire oil instantly ignited a raging fire.
The flames spread down the oil, and the soaked Jiannu became dancing fire men in the blink of an eye.
With a quick eye, Yanguli put the cowhide on a burning guard next to him, and covered it tightly, covering the gaps one by one.
The flames on the guard's body were quickly extinguished, and because of the quick movements, the burns on the guard's body were not serious, only the eyebrows and part of the rat's tail were burned.
The others also reacted quickly, and used cowhide to help their companions extinguish the fire, and among the dozens of Jiannu who were set on fire, only a few were burned alive because they ran out in panic when they burst into flames because they had too much fire oil on their bodies, and the others were fine.
Yanguli paid no attention to the blazing shield cart overhead, because the baffles were coated with yellow mud, and when the oil was dry, the flames would naturally be extinguished.
The sound of guns in the turrets and on the top of the city gradually died down, and both flintlock muskets and artillery must be stopped when they are overheated, otherwise they will easily explode.
Now, the Guan Emperor soldiers were waiting for the barrels and barrels to cool down, and the artillery fire stopped.
The Jiannu led by Turai and Gu Nadai took the opportunity to speed up, and before the artillery and muskets could fire, they swarmed under the two turrets, and erected their shield carts one after another to resist the rocks overhead.
The casualties of these two Jiannu were not large, only one or two hundred, and after reaching the bottom of the turret, they joined up with Yanguli and Baiyintu's people and surrounded the two turrets.
"Plug the holes with logs to prevent them from firing."
"Ladder, quick, take the ladder."
Under Yanguli's command, the Jiannu found logs and stuffed them into the cannon holes to hinder the artillery fire inside.
Some of the Jiannu began to pull up the ladder and prepare to reach the top floor of the turret.
At this point, the morale of the Jiannu was high, and in their opinion, as long as they climbed to the top, the Ming army above was by no means their opponent.
After Jiannu was in the back formation, Huang Taiji habitually stroked the two mustaches, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Even if Qin Chuan's soldiers and horses are well-trained, they are by no means the opponents of the warriors of the Dajin Kingdom in short-handed combat.
As long as you set up the ladder, the two turrets are in hand. Bibi eBook
The ministers and generals behind Huang Taiji were also overjoyed and excited.
"Hmph, the surname Qin is nothing more than that."
Standing in the back, the Yellow Flag Lama Zhang Jing Yangshan raised his chin and said disdainfully in the direction of Ning Wuguan.
Ao Bai next to him looked a little embarrassed, hurriedly walked out of the column, knelt in front of Huang Taiji, and pleaded: "Great Khan, after the enemy Taiwan falls, the slave is willing to lead a dead army to attack the city from the overpass, if you can't attack it, you will come to see the Great Khan." ”
Huang Taiji smiled and waved his hand: "I know that you want to seek revenge on Qin Chuan, then the left road will be handed over to you, get up." ”
"Thank you, Great Khan!"
Ao Bai's face was happy, and he hurriedly kowtowed, and then stood up.
Huang Taiji touched the two mustaches again, and looked at the battlefield in the distance lightly.
At this time, he saw Qin Chuan on the head of Ningwu Guancheng suddenly raise his arms, and he seemed to shout something in his mouth.
The distance was too far, Huang Taiji couldn't hear what Qin Chuan was shouting, but he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
The Guan Emperor Army on the two turrets could hear it clearly, Qin Chuan shouted "Heaven-shaking Thunder".
So, Emperor Guan's army, who had long been impatient, lit the sky-shaking thunder in his hand one after another, threw it below, and then picked up another sky-shaking thunder, lit it on the torch next to him, and continued to throw it down.
Yanguli was directing his subordinates to set up the ladder, when there was a sudden sound of "bang bang" falling stones, and then short and thick logs fell from the slope of the shield cart and landed at the feet of the surrounding Jiannu.
Yanguli looked intently, and saw that the top of the wood seemed to be made of iron, and it was black, and the bottom was still "swishing" and smoking.
"Earthquake Thunder!"
The face of a guard who had suffered from the earth-shattering thunder in Dalinghe City changed drastically, and he pounced on Yanguli without hesitation, throwing him to the ground.
Turai, who had just arrived to help, also reacted quickly and lay on the ground.
When the rest of the Jiannu reacted, the first earth-shattering thunder exploded.
With a loud "boom", all the Jiannu within a few steps around fell to the ground, and those who were close were even more torn apart, and flesh and blood and internal organs flew everywhere.
Immediately after, other earth-shattering thunderbolts also exploded.
There were about 2,000 Jiannu on the left and right, and they were all crowded underneath, surrounding the turret.
The denser the number of people, the more powerful the Heaven-Shaking Thunder will be.
In the continuous roar, billowing smoke and countless iron balls quickly drowned the Jiannu below.
"Withdraw!"
Yanguli covered his buzzing head, tore open his throat and roared, and then, under the cover of several guards, fled lifelessly in the direction of the camp.
Some of the Jiannu, who were still conscious, also threw down the instruments in their hands and fled in a swarm.
At this time, the guns and gunfire on the turrets and on the top of the city began to sound again.
The exposed backs of those escaped Jiannu are living targets.
But they fled in poverty.
Just fleeing.
Those who were killed and wounded, and those who were stunned, were destined to lie under the cold concrete walls.
……
When the explosion continued to sound, Huang Taiji stood up and stared at the battlefield with a grim face.
The faces of the other ministers and generals also changed drastically, and they couldn't say a word with their mouths open.
This...... Shocking thunder.
This thing is rare, because it is not easy to manufacture, there are more than 10,000 enemies in the Ming army, and some cities also have some earth-shattering thunder, but the power is far less than the ones that exploded just now.
Unexpectedly, Qin Chuan still has a hidden hand!
He also deliberately waited for the arrival of reinforcements from both sides before throwing them down.
Ruthless enough!
Treacherous, cunning, and vicious, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the worst wolf.
……
Ningwu Guanchengtou.
Seeing that dozens of large grenades had been thrown from the two turrets, and the Jiannu underneath had been blown up, Qin Chuan said lightly to Li Dingliang next to him, "Go out and clean up."
"Yes."
Li Dingliang happily accepted the order.
Not long after, the city gate opened, and Li Dingliang led a thousand traps to come out.
The Guan Emperor army on the two turrets also stopped throwing mines.
By the time the smoke cleared, Li Dingliang's 1,000-trap camp had already surrounded the corners of the two turrets, and stabbed those Jiannu who were still struggling to death one by one, and then cut off their heads, ready to take them back for money.
If you encounter someone with clear armor and is still alive, you will be arrested and interrogated first, and if it is not a general above Niu Lu Zhangjing, you will be cut down.
If it is a general, he will keep alive for money.
