Section 336 Tiger Leap Battle--The Bloody Battle of Tingzhou II
The first wave of 20,000 people was basically sent to death, and you don't see that it was only a few hundred meters away. It doesn't matter if you don't go in, but if you do, the shrapnel and the arrows will kill you almost instantly. Five thousand fell on the way to the attack, and artillery fire raged on their wounded bodies. Minor injuries turned into serious injuries, heavy duties turned into dead bodies, and finally even the corpses were reduced to pieces in the artillery fire.
But at this time, I finally arrived at the bottom of the city and began to climb the city. Facing the impact of the city gate, he even saw the straight bluestone avenue in the open city gate. Victory is at hand! In the crowd running towards the city gates, almost everyone had the same idea.
Directional thunder, sending out pieces of debris knocked the crowd down, and the soldiers behind them stepped on the corpses of their comrades and continued to charge inward. It's not that they are not afraid of death, you must know that even if they escape here, they will die if they go back. When death is behind you, people pounce on death.
"Whoosh" at the city gate, the space suddenly became narrow, limiting the number of people entering the city, people embraced, you pushed me and squeezed in.
When the blessed man poked his head out of the hole in the city gate, he found that there was a deep ditch, and at the bottom of the ditch was a stake that had been erected straight up, and the person who was running at the front suddenly wanted to laugh. "This thing looks a bit like a bamboo skewer on mutton!" But he fell down under the push of the people behind him, and he couldn't laugh anymore.
Inside the gate, the pyramid-like bunkers lined up in a fan-shaped shape were lined with rows of rifles and feathered arrows on the ground floor, while the middle level of the Flying God crossbow shot the crossbow arrows into a wall, and directly opposite were several burning arquebuses of the general's cannons. Let's just say that I didn't see this thing in the city, it turned out to be ....... In the roar of the cannon, the spherical cannonballs forced a bloody alley in the crowd.
Seeing the soldiers rushing into the city gate, the Qing soldiers under the city were overjoyed and shouted loudly, "The city is broken!" The city is broken! ”
Jin Shenghuan picked up the clairvoyant mirror and looked there expectantly, and in his mind he remembered the beautiful scenery when the city was broken, the fire was burning everywhere in the city, and the cries of the suffering people could alarm the heavens and the earth. And then even he was fantasizing about three big robberies in Tingzhou, whether it would be more comforting to the soldiers. But the strange thing is that there are almost a thousand people who have already crowded in, why is there no movement in this city, the cannons are still so sharp, and the crossbow arrows on the city have not decreased at all, what is going on!
It's a pity that he hasn't read the instructions for the use of Yanping City like Bolo, he doesn't know that such a city doesn't have a hundred and ten cannons or more than ten times the number of troops, besiege the city on all sides, and block reinforcements, otherwise you don't plan to attack, or how many people will come will be given in vain.
Besides, the Qing soldiers who came up the ladder like ants were planted from the city with a howl under the attack of the side-firing flying crossbow, and the next one was the same encounter. Moreover, the flowering shells that flew into the city yesterday were ignited and thrown into the crowd waiting to climb the city, and more people fell in pools of blood amid screams, and the ladders were blown up.
The number of Qing troops under the city was rapidly decreasing, and there were wounded soldiers everywhere who were waiting to die, and their bitter screams could be heard far and wide. The two ladders that could reach the head of the city were also rapidly decreasing, and Jin Shenghuan waved the flag unmoved.
To say a little nonsense here, the end of the Ming Dynasty was an important period when the world's weapons were transformed from cold weapons to hot weapons. And the Shenzhou Army is no longer a primitive hot weapon, and in the face of the Qing soldiers when the cold weapon is the strongest, there will inevitably be such a slaughtering war.
The second wave of Qing soldiers, divided into groups carrying a large number of ladders, ran towards the city wall again, repeating what happened to the previous wave of soldiers. This wave of soldiers brought Jin Shenghuan a little excitement, because they finally reached the top of the city. The soldiers who went to the city quickly knocked a chicken hook into the guard, and a small barrel of gunpowder was fixed on the chicken hook. But when he took out the fiery hammer and flint that he had in his bosom, he was shot down by an arrow. This is followed by the next ...... Until a soldier with a torch lit the arquebus.
"Boom" In the sound of the sky cracking and the earth cracking, a protective board was blown up. The soldiers defending the city who were stunned to death were exposed. Almost instantly, the Qing soldiers who were like eating stimulants quickly set up several ladders side by side here, crawling towards the city with knives in their mouths, and there was only one thought in their hearts, break this roof and wall, and everything will be fine!
The Ming soldiers who broke through a section of the city wall were also prepared for this situation, and some people had already carried spare thick plates to repair under the protection of hundreds of soldiers, although they were hit, the morale of the Ming army was still high. Because these days, apart from the initial flowering shells, they have not suffered many casualties at all. More Ming soldiers with swords, guns, bows and arrows, or torches in hand, led by the Shenzhou soldiers who led them, ran here. Flowering bombs and grenades were thrown from the breach. There was also called in artillery fire to build a dead space under the city walls.
People's courage is limited, in the face of unilateral slaughter, the first two waves of Qing soldiers can no longer hold on to noon, and the red-clothed cannons that have been firing artillery fire at Tingzhou City are also too hot because the barrel is too hot, so they dare not let it go, so they have to stop for a while. Without the support of artillery fire, the Qing soldiers suddenly lost their prestige.
Jin Shenghuan was like a gambler at this time, he had already lost his eyes, and with a wave of 20,000 infantry in his hand, he entered the cover range of the shield car and joined the attack on Tingzhou City. At this time, several roofs in Tingzhou City have been damaged, and the speed of the repair team is becoming more and more unable to catch up with the progress of the destruction. Fortunately, at this time, Tingzhou was replenished with a large number of materials, and there was no shortage of crossbow arrows and guns and ammunition, otherwise once there was a lack of weapons in such a tragic battle, this battle would really be impossible to fight.
Fang Bizheng looked at the sky with some worry, the horror in his heart in the face of the Qing army's offensive was really difficult to express in words, from early morning to now, the attack has not stopped, at a distance of three hundred meters, the ground has lost its color, the ground is full of corpses of the Qing army and the remains of various siege equipment, and the blue military uniform has lost its original color. All blackened with blood! Fang Bixia couldn't stand it anymore, so he returned the binoculars to Jiang Yong, who still had a smile on his face.
