Chapter 103: Bloody Battle
"Steady, there is no advance or retreat in this battle, either life or death, kill me!"
Wang Zezhi was protected by a group of sword and shield soldiers with Lu Mi Gong in his hand, and kept giving orders.
The Tartars have landed in the city.
At this time, on the city wall, there were either cloud ladders or siege ladders on each battlement, and there were Tartars pushing the broken city trees at the city gate to crash wildly.
Wang Zezhi didn't even have time to reload the ammunition, so he could only use the blade at the handle of the Lu Mi Gun to launch an attack on the Tartar that rushed in.
All the firearms are no longer needed, as there is no time to reload, and the only useful ranged weapons are bows and arrows.
In close combat, the skill of shooting with a bow and arrow is no longer useful.
The entire city wall was in chaos, there were fights everywhere, and blood was constantly splattered, shooting on Wang Zezhi's face, both enemies and sergeants.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
A team of halberd shield soldiers on the city wall found Wang Zezhi and approached him, as the so-called one inch long and one inch strong, the scimitar of the Tartar soldiers was still a little worse in the face of the halberd.
There was a terrible sound on the city wall, and the halberd and shield soldiers killed Wang Zezhi, and Wang Zezhi ordered them to expand the results of the battle.
He led dozens of men to operate the Franc cannon on the battlement to aim at the siege ladder and blew it up.
"Bang Bang Bang~"
After interrupting the siege ladder, Wang Zezhi took the halberd and shield soldiers around him, and the sword and shield soldiers approached a group of fire soldiers.
"Reload your ammo, quick!"
The king ordered that the assembled musketeers had the backbone and immediately reloaded their ammunition skillfully.
"Put!"
Wang Zezhi organized the musketeers who loaded the ammunition and carried out the second stage of shooting.
It was difficult for the Tartars to climb the city wall from the broken ladder for a while, and the results of the battle on this section of the city wall continued to expand.
The smell of gunpowder wafted from the city.
The Tartar soldiers who rushed to the head of the city were blurred and rolled on the ground and screamed loudly.
The sword and shield men stepped forward to make up for them and continued on their way.
Wang Zezhi found that there was a city wall in the west with many siege ladders, and immediately commanded them to advance here.
In the process of advancing, he also gathered a lot of disrupted musketeers and archers.
When he reached the top of the wall, he hurriedly ordered all the rolling stones and sassalwoods arranged on this section of the city wall to be thrown down.
All of a sudden, there were screams everywhere in the city.
There were more and more soldiers gathered around Wang Zezhi, and they relied on sword and shield soldiers and halberd shield soldiers to continue to kill towards the dense section of the city wall.
As long as he pushed through, he took the opportunity to blow up the siege ladder of the Tartars with the Fran cannon.
At first, these sergeants were still a little scared, but as more and more Tartars were killed.
They realized that the Tartars were not invincible either, they would also bleed and die.
"Lao Tzu has six heads." One of the sergeants had five Tartar heads pinned to his waist, and the sixth one was held high in his hand and shouted loudly.
All of a sudden, the morale of the army was greatly boosted, and the sergeants all thought of what Wang Zezhi said, one tartar is worth three military exploits.
The sergeants were red-eyed and began to slaughter the Tartars who had attacked the walls.
A sergeant was stabbed in the abdomen by a Tartar, and instead of the slightest fear, he excitedly shouted: "Kill the Tartar!" ”
He grabbed the Tartar's knife with one hand, drew his waist knife with the other and plunged it into the Tartar's neck, then threw the Tartar on the ground and cut off his head, which the sergeant pinned to his waist before he died.
Seeing this, the Tartars near him were frightened and their scalps tingled, they had never encountered such an enemy in Mongolia, Datong, and Xuanfu.
"Kill the Tartars!"
"Take military merit."
The entire Xi'an Fort was filled with the cheering shouts of the sergeants.
Wang Zezhi walked around the city wall and smashed the ladder to the city with a Francophone cannon, and the Tartars had no follow-up support, and they all had the intention of retreating.
The soldiers on the city walls fought bravely to kill the enemy, and the soldiers in the city lined up to defend themselves.
The main reason is that there are so many people on the city wall, so Wang Zezhi arranged for some sergeants to be on standby in the fort.
One is for preparation, and the other is to prevent the city gate from being broken, and there is no force in the fortress to block it.
"Boom~"
The ladders of the Tartars were basically broken by the Franc cannons, and they could not climb the city walls, so they focused all their energy on the city gates.
They brought in a few tiger cannons and blasted open the city gates.
When Wang Zezhi heard the sound of cannons, he immediately gave an order to the sergeants on standby in the fort.
"The halberd and shield soldiers pressed down, and the fire gunners and archers took turns shooting."
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
The halberd and shield soldiers were ordered to block the city gate, and the musketeers and archers took turns shooting under the cover of the halberd shields.
A swarm of Tartars, who poured into the city gates, was suddenly dealt a fatal blow and fell in pieces.
However, they did not flinch in the slightest.
After dozens of vanguard soldiers had died, heavily armored Tartars marched in with shields.
The halberd stabbed at them, and its lethality was greatly reduced, but the tartar held a long axe and slashed through the array of halberd shield soldiers.
Wang Zezhi, who was directing the fight on the city wall, glanced at the gate of the city and immediately ordered: "Three-eyed gun, use three-eyed gun." ”
The Three-Eyed Gun is more powerful than the Shotgun, which can only knock these heavily armored soldiers back a few steps, but the Three-Eyed Gun can shoot through their face armor, causing massive damage. Raindrop Book House
Wang Zezhi was worried about the loss of the city gate, so he commanded several sergeants to carry two Franc machine guns, and rushed to the city gate to fire and shoot with more than a dozen shots.
"Bang bang bang!"
The heavy armor, which could not be completely pierced by shotguns and three-eyed guns, was like tissue paper under the bombardment of the Furlong machine gun, and it was vulnerable.
Wang Zezhi's offensive did not decrease, and he put in Zi Gong to continue to bombard, and the heavily armored Tartars at the city gate were either missing arms or legs as long as they were hit by a cannon.
Their assault on the gates stalled, and the halberd shieldmen took the opportunity to press forward in an attempt to seal the gates.
The Tartars who attacked the city gate suddenly retreated, Wang Zezhi suddenly felt that they were not second, they broke the door but used the tiger squat cannon, and at this time all the people retreated, I am afraid that they will use the cannon.
"Retreat!"
As soon as Wang Zezhi finished shouting, the Tartars outside the city gate pushed a few tiger squat cannons to bombard and kill the halberd and shield soldiers in the city.
Several halberd shield soldiers were shot, and their halberds shattered and they were killed on the spot.
"All the archers are on the wall, and the shield soldiers are coming to help."
Since the ladders to the city were broken by the Fran machine cannons, the pressure on the city walls was greatly reduced, and only the scattered Tartars were still fighting stubbornly.
Wang Zezhi transferred all the sword and shield soldiers and halberd shield soldiers on the city wall to the city gate to defend, and the archers boarded the city wall and fired a series of shots at the Tartars who pushed the tiger and squatting cannons under the city gate.
Wang Zezhi saw that the Tartar at the door fell to the ground with an arrow, and hurriedly ordered someone to snatch the tiger squat cannon at the door.
He placed the tiger cannon at the gate of the city, ready to bombard the Tartars who rushed into the gate.
"Shield!"
The archers on the city walls noticed that the Tartars outside the city were starting to shoot arrows and immediately raised a warning.
When the shield soldiers in the fort heard this, they raised their shields to defend.
"Dangdang~"
A rain of arrows struck the shield, and a dense sound passed.
"Whew~Bang~"
Taking advantage of this gap, the ballista and catapult advanced twenty paces towards the fort, and they began to attack.
After the rain of arrows, the spear-sized crossbow bolts attacked the shield array, and because the crossbow arrows were too powerful, they smashed several shield-wielding sergeants in an instant.
Then, a boulder the size of a basin was catapulted into the fort by a trebuchet, smashing the sergeant who had lost the protection of his shield into a pulp.
"Hide, find cover."
Wang Zezhi looked around and ordered the soldiers in the fort to go to the buildings inside the fort to avoid the attack.
The attacks of the ballistas and trebuchets were exhausted, and Wang Zezhi immediately ordered the halberd and shield soldiers to rush to the city gate to prevent blocking.
"Cavalry!"
The archers on the city walls were firing and warning at the same time, and the cavalry of the Tartars attacked.
"Steady, Musketeer!"
Wang Zezhi guarded the city gate with halberd shield soldiers and firecrackers, and they had to guard the city gate.
If the gates are lost, they will be greeted only by death.
At this moment, no one was afraid, no one thought of running away, everyone had only one thought, to kill the Tartars.
A meat grinder became at the city gate, and both sides were red-eyed.
The cavalry who rushed into the city gate were brought down by shotguns and three-eyed guns before they could reach the halberd shield soldiers.
Due to the rapid momentum, the Tartar fell at the same time with his men and horses, and slid all the way to the feet of the halberd shieldmen.
Some of the Tartars were not completely dead, and the sergeant behind the shield bravely drew his sword and slashed it fiercely.
The guns of the Furlong machine gun brought down by Wang Zezhi ran out, and Wang Zezhi ordered someone to get the ammunition.
The city gate can only be defended by halberd shield soldiers and fire guns.
The cavalry of the Tartars rushed forward one after another.
However, the city gate was so big that the cavalry could not give full play to its advantage, and the halberd and shield soldiers, supported by firearms, kept pressing towards the city gate.
In less than half a pillar of incense, there was a river of blood at the city gate.
The mixture of horse corpses and human corpses blocked the entrance to the city gates, and the Tartars could no longer enter.
Wang Zezhi climbed the city wall and ordered the archers and gunners to bombard the Tartars under the city.
The cavalry Tartars who rushed to the city wall could not enter the city gate, and began to fly into the city.
Seeing this, Wang Zezhi hurriedly ordered the soldiers to smash all the rolling stones and sassalwoods on the city wall, and all of them were smashed down, and there was a scream under the city wall.
"Dangdang~"
Tartar Mingjin retired.
"The Tartars are back! The Tartars are back! ”
The sergeants on the city walls thundered with joy and shouted incessantly.
Wang Zezhi looked at the tartar that receded like a tide, and sat on the city wall with weak legs.
"My lord, the Tartar has retreated." Ah Niu said excitedly while holding the weak Wang Zezhi.
"What time is it?" Wang Zezhi felt that he had been holding on for a day, and Geng Ruqi didn't react at all.
"It's noon."
"It's noon... Count battle damage and clean up the battlefield under the city walls. ”
"Yes."
