283 Danyang Death Squad!
When Li Kangnian took 3,000 Danyang soldiers from the south city wall and rushed to the city wall section of Xicheng District to support, the defenders of Xicheng District had already collapsed.
The battle on the walls of the western city was extremely fierce.
The 3,000 armor soldiers and 1,500 archers of the defending army could not stop the frantic onslaught of the Wu army's Praetorian Guard Sharp Knife Battalion and 300 warriors.
Thousands of elite soldiers of the Wu Army's Guards, the Sharp Knife Battalion, climbed the ladder and climbed to the top of the city, and were fighting desperately along both sides of the city wall to expand the scope of their capture.
Zhu Shan, with the remnants of 2,000 sword and armor soldiers, guarded the most important west city gate and prevented the Wu army from opening the door into the city. As long as the city gate is not lost, the cavalry of the Wu army will not be able to enter the city.
Danyang City can still hold on and fight street battles.
...
The 3,000 Danyang musketeers were clinging to the wall, lined up in a dense firing formation, and were advancing.
"Aim, Prepare ——!"
Li Kangnian shouted.
Dozens of Danyang soldiers at the forefront were at the forefront with gunpowder guns in their hands and bayonets.
When more than a dozen warriors of the Wu army saw Danyang's reinforcements coming, they couldn't help but smile and immediately pounced on them fiercely.
The most elite in Danyang City is the gunpowder gunners. And their warriors of the Wu army are also the elite of the elite of the Wu army, invincible and fierce in close combat.
"Front, center, back, three-row formation."
"Fire!"
Li Kangnian shouted.
"Bang bang~!"
Dozens of bullets from Danyang gunpowder gunners were shot out densely.
The excellent inner armor of the warriors of the Wu army, although they could block arrows and slashes, could not block the close-range bombardment of iron projectiles, and suddenly more than a dozen warriors were shot one after another, vomiting blood and falling to the ground.
Their eyes were full of horror, and they did not blink a blind eye.
They didn't expect that the power of the gunpowder gun was so huge, an iron pellet and a blood hole were four or five times stronger than the piercing of an arrow, and it was not something that the inner armor could resist at all.
After these dozens of Danyang soldiers finished shooting, they immediately ran back from the side of the city wall. Retreat to the back of the line and reload your ammo.
And dozens of Danyang musketeers behind them quickly rose to the top and raised their guns again to fire a volley.
"Bang bang", another dozens of dense iron projectiles, firing forward. More than a dozen elite soldiers of the Wu army were charging towards them and fell down in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of elite soldiers of the Wu army fell.
When the soldier Wu in the back heard the gunshot, he couldn't help but look over, and his face was frightened.
This group of Danyang soldiers is so powerful.
Not to mention fighting, they can't even get close.
If this continues, they are afraid that they will not be able to kill even a single Danyang soldier, and they will be wiped out by the whole army.
"Quick, take the shield, rush to the death! Rush in, and they won't be able to fire. Hack them to death! ”
Xu San, the general of the Wu army, couldn't help yelling when he saw this.
The city that was finally captured, of course, can't just be lost.
Immediately, hundreds of elite soldiers of the Wu army mustered up their courage, roared wildly, and fired against the gunpowder guns, desperately rushing towards the Danyang soldiers. rushed to the front of the Danyang soldiers, and they had a chance to fight.
The wooden shields in their hands, together with the inner armor they were wearing, might be able to withstand the fire of the iron projectiles of the powder guns.
At this time, I saw a sturdy Danyang soldier take out a gunpowder bag in his hand and light the fuse.
The fuse snorted, and it looked like it was about to burn to the end.
The Danyang soldiers threw it violently, threw it four or five zhang away, and threw it above the heads of the group of Wu soldiers holding shields.
"Boom~!"
With a loud bang, a small half of the hundreds of elite soldiers of the Wu army were blown up. The shields were almost shattered, and their inner armor could not withstand the violent explosion.
The thorns and iron nails in the gunpowder bag blew their skin and flesh open, and they wailed in pain, rolling all over the ground in a mess.
The rest of the Wu Jun, who was not injured, had their ears buzzing with shock, and they were stunned by the violent explosion and gas waves.
They were bleeding from the corners of their mouths, and when they opened their mouths, they found themselves talking, completely inaudible, and unaware of what others were yelling about.
Xu San, the general of the Wu army, and all the warriors and elite soldiers of the Wu army were shocked and changed color.
Hundreds of elite soldiers of the Wu army in a dense formation were blown up in half in one go, and they couldn't resist the advance of the Danyang soldiers at all.
"Ten steps forward, shoot!"
Li Kangnian waved the flag.
The Danyang soldiers continued to move forward.
With each round of shooting, they advanced ten paces. Everywhere they passed, the elite soldiers of the Wu army who fought lost their armor and could not resist.
Because the walls are very narrow, there are always dozens of soldiers standing at the front. There are many soldiers in the back, and they can only watch.
After the Danyang musketeers fired, they retreated from one side, running.
The gunpowder gunners behind him ran forward and shot.
They don't need to spend time reloading ammunition, and the rate of fire is fast. Almost a few breaths away, it's a round of shooting.
No matter how desperately the Wu army charged, no matter how fierce the offensive was, they were directly killed by a powder packet, and there was no chance at all to rush in front of them.
The section of the city wall that was originally occupied by the Wu army began to shrink slowly, and the Wu army at the head of the city was swallowed up little by little.
Once the head of the city is closed, the Danyang soldiers and the remnants of the defenders converge, and the city wall that the Wu army has managed to attack will be lost again.
...
At the west city gate, the general Zhu Shan, who was waiting for reinforcements, and the two thousand remnant swords and armor soldiers, seeing that the Wu army was about to occupy the city, felt that their lives were short, and they would soon be swallowed up by the Wu army.
They finally saw the Danyang soldiers coming to support.
The three hundred elite warriors of the Wu army, who were originally in front of them, were beaten miserably by the Danyang gunpowder gunners, and they couldn't even rush to close range.
In just a short period of time, dozens of warriors and hundreds of elite guards of the Wu army were shot and killed, and the Wu army was defeated and retreated.
The lost city walls were snatched back little by little.
"Danyang soldiers are here!"
"Danyang soldiers are too powerful!"
The remnants of the defenders couldn't help cheering, they mustered up the courage to go, and they also rushed desperately, wanting to meet the Danyang soldiers.
...
Outside the city of Danyang.
Xiang Bi, the king of Wu, and Xiang Xian, the son of the family, took two cavalry battalions of 10,000 people and the rest of the miscellaneous battalions, and quickly moved to the West City Gate, where they had made a breakthrough.
The Wu army is now mainly attacking the West City Gate.
Only the 10,000 heavy infantry of the Wu army were fighting on the slope of the south gate with the 10,000 heavy infantry pikemen led by Li Yu, and the battle was fierce, and they could not withdraw for a while.
Wu Wang Xiang Bi was under the west city gate, and saw that the battle on the city head was extremely fierce, and the Danyang soldiers were tightening the city wall, trying to close the lost city wall.
He couldn't help but be in a hurry, and ordered all the elite infantry, "Quick, all the elite soldiers, rush to the city wall!" Attack from the back and flanks and kill the Danyang soldiers. Ten crash trucks, go and open the gate of Danyang! ”
The elite soldiers of the Wu army under the city climbed the city wall one after another, wanting to attack this group of Danyang soldiers from the side and from behind.
And the six miscellaneous battalions of 10,000 people at the rest of the West Gate and the North Gate are also rushing to support.
The Danyang musketeers at the head of the city were extremely powerful, but the Wu army still had a huge advantage in strength. Rush to the city at any cost, and always be able to kill the three thousand musketeers and break through the city.
