Chapter 851: Mubang City is broken, fight to the death
"Quick! Mingjin, Mingjin, let them come back! ”
When Uchiyama screamed, on the opposite side of the Tang army, with the shouting of a person who looked like a captain, his subordinates waved the flag violently, and the two rows of firecrackers standing or kneeling, the four thousand firecrackers, suddenly fired together.
"Bang bang 。。。。。"
There was a dense sound of popping beans, which sounded violently, and the embers that floated from the mouth of the bell formed two bright yellow and dazzling lines of fire, and a large area of choking and thick white mist surged, instantly turning the entire Tang army into a fairyland on earth.
Of the 4,000 firearms, 3,600 were fired, and the 3,600 fine-grained bullets weighing three coins formed a dense curtain of death rain, roaring towards the Burmese cavalry that was rushing towards them.
From the clairvoyant mirror, Uchiyama could clearly see that the rain of lead bullets that roared away shot the Burmese cavalry, or men or horses, who were rushing from the opposite side.
At least nearly 500 or 600 Burmese cavalrymen were shot at the moment of firing, and the screams of the cavalry were mixed with the mournful screams of the horses, like the laughter of death. The Burmese cavalry turned on their backs, and the entire cavalry formation that rushed forward fell into chaos and collapse in an instant.
It was only then that the sound of the Burmese army's singing of gold sounded deservedly, but it was too late.
Just when the remaining more than 1,000 Burmese cavalry pulled out their horses and fled back in a panic, the first round of shooting of the Tang army began again.
More than 400 Burmese cavalrymen rolled off their horses with wails, dead and wounded.
The remaining Burmese cavalry, which had less than 700 cavalry, was already terrified, like headless flies, scurrying around in the wilderness.
At this moment, 3,000 Tang Army Flying Harriers rode lightly, like tigers out of the mountain, and their swords came out of the box, and swooped down on the scattered 700 cavalry of the Burmese army.
A chase without suspense, almost a complete massacre, horses' hooves rumbled, knives and spears stabbed, and the Burmese cavalry screamed and died, almost unable to parry.
In the end, only the Burmese cavalry, which was less than 100 cavalry, finally escaped with their lives under the blade of the Tang army, and they had been beaten to the point of being hooded, and after scurrying in the field for a while, they hurriedly pulled out their horses' heads and rushed back to the south gate to enter the city.
At the head of the south gate, I used a clairvoyant mirror to see the fallacy of the inner mountain of this tragic scene, and the pain in my heart was like a knife.
Well, his own cavalry attacked this time, but even a Tang Army gunner didn't kill it, so he was all reimbursed outside Mubang City, damn it, this is not a battle at all, but a massacre!
The Tang Army is so fierce and ruthless, well-organized and sophisticated, are these soldiers and horses under him really the opponents of the Tang Army?
Thinking of this, Uchiyama felt like he was cold, from head to toe.
The commander of the artillery of the Tang Army, the red flag in his hand, was raised high again.
"Ready!"
"Put!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
……
Another 180 jet-black 32-pound iron bullets roared, and in the deafening sound of cannons, the broken bricks on the city wall flew like rain, and choking dust and mist flew up all over the sky.
The entire southern wall is covered with dense cobweb cracks, and the damage of the entire wall has reached a shocking level, like a dying patient struggling to die.
All the Burmese troops defending the Burmese army, including Uchiyama, felt that the city wall under their feet was shaking back and forth more violently, and as many as hundreds of Burmese soldiers who had no time to lie down or hold on to it were shocked and fell from the city wall screaming. A large number of collapsed pheasants were also smashed from under the city wall, and they fell in pieces, and these shocked pheasants, smashed down from such a high position, and immediately scattered into pieces, burying those Burmese soldiers who were shaken down, whether dead or alive.
After being hit hard for the second time, the Burmese defenders were suddenly plunged into even more serious confusion than during the first shelling.
Under such a violent force, in the face of such an absolute death that no human power could resist at all, all the Burmese troops on the southern wall, who had been fighting for a long time, were also seriously damaged in confidence, and the morale of the originally low level suddenly dropped to the extent that it was almost impossible to do.
And those young men who were forcibly recruited to defend the city had already broken their courage, and many of them howled frantically, and immediately lost their weapons and fled for their lives.
At this time, there was no need for anyone to mobilize, and as soon as someone shouted, they immediately lost their posts, wailed and rushed down the city wall and road, and fled for their lives in a frenzy.
When the furious Uchiyama was about to kill again, a general next to him rushed over in a panic and shouted to him: "General, the Tang army's artillery is so sharp, this southern city wall can't be defended!" ”
"You, what did you say?!"
Uchiyama stared at him with a blood-red face, his gaze so fierce that he could almost kill.
"General, the Tang army's artillery is so accurate and fierce, and our army has no effective means of counterattack, this southern city wall will be collapsed by the Tang army sooner or later, we are here to defend hard, in addition to being blown up and killed together with the city wall, what can we do?"
The general hurriedly knelt down and shouted, he frowned, and shouted loudly to Uchiyama with a sad face.
Uchiyama's face was full of distortion and pain.
He had to admit that the lieutenant's words were reasonable, and they were the most correct decision in such a predicament.
Under such fierce and ferocious artillery fire from the Tang army, their so-called stubborn guards were nothing more than meaningless and futile deaths.
Into the, what kind of battle is this!
Just being beaten, unable to fight back, watching these dogs enter the Tang Army, rampantly and recklessly bombarding the city wall of Mubang with heavy artillery, he has no choice at all, but he can only be beaten passively like a turtle with a shrunken head, in this world, is there anything more aggrieved than this?
It's just that if such a hasty withdrawal order is given, what a blow it will be to the morale of all the defenders!
Uchiyama was very entangled in his heart, gritting his teeth and making a decision, the deputy general hurriedly shouted: "Master, the third artillery bombardment of the Tang Army is about to start again, and if we don't make a quick decision, there will only be more casualties among the soldiers of our defenders, what is the point of such a persistence?" If you don't retreat into the city, it is important to stick to the streets. ”
Facing his anxious expression, Uchiyama let out a long sigh, his face full of gloom.
He knew that although the Mubang city wall was very strong and could withstand many rounds of artillery bombardment by the Tang army, the defenders on the city wall had no role to speak of except for needless death in the shelling again and again.
Uchiyama gritted his teeth, pulled up the kneeling lieutenant general, and sighed: "You're right, the Tang army's artillery is so fierce, and it makes no sense to defend this southern city wall. Then pass on the general's order, and let all the defenders of the city wall immediately retreat from the city, and at the entrances of the streets in the city, set up a formation to meet the enemy, and kill the enemy in the city! ”
"The general is wise!"
After hearing the order of Uchiyama to abandon the city wall, on the four walls, those terrified Burmese troops defending the city and the young men who were being conscripted immediately fled from the city wall in a hurry like a tidal wave that had retreated like a general amnesty.
When he saw the Burmese troops on the city walls retreating like a tide, Mo Changrong, the commander of the Tang Army, couldn't help but have a sneer on his resolute face.
Mo Changrong saw that these Burmese soldiers defending the city, under this absolute violence and death, were crushed like ants, and they had no power to fight back at all, and finally fled down the city in embarrassment, how could he say how happy he was.
Immediately, he quickly ordered: "Pass on the commander's military order, all the dragon artillery team, continue to fire salvo bombardment until this southern city wall is completely broken!" ”
"Order!"
The commander of the artillery of the Tang Army, who commanded the firing of the artillery, held the red order flag in his hand again.
"Ready!"
"Put!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
……
The heavy artillery roared, the embers flew away, the smoke filled the sky, and after another round of heavy dragon cannon salvo bombardment, the sound of huge iron bullets crashing and the collapse of the city wall was like the roar of death, and it resounded continuously.
The entire southern city wall was splashed with large pieces of rubble, and the rammed earth in the city wall flew out like rain, and the pheasant moat and the female wall were scattered in all directions like torn pieces of cloth.
Only a few rumbling sounds made the earthquake tremble, and the entire southern city wall showed a more broken and peeling shape, the outer wall was peeled off in large pieces, and the bluestone lining inside was also cracked, and in the thick and deep cracks that spread everywhere like performance art, the yellow rammed earth in the middle fell out a lot, dyeing the outer city wall into a piece of sand yellow.
"Keep attacking, don't stop, until the walls are broken!"
"Order!"
The heavy artillery roared, the afterburns flew, the smoke filled the sky, and after the third round of heavy dragon cannon salvo bombardment, the sound of huge iron bullets crashing and the collapse of the city wall was like the roar of death, and it resounded continuously. On the right side of the city wall south of Mubang City, large pieces of broken bricks were splashed, and the rammed earth in the city wall flew out like rain, and the pheasant moat and the female wall like torn pieces of cloth flew in all directions in the form of Brownian motion. After a few rumbling sounds, the entire southern city wall on the right side of the city has basically collapsed and shattered, and has become a ruin.
Seeing the wall of this Mubang city, in front of him, it collapsed like melting snow, and the Burmese soldiers under the city wall were fighting.
The city wall has been broken, and there is no danger in this Mubang city, can it still be defended?
When Uchiyama was confused, Mo Changrong, the commander of the Tang Army, had begun to issue orders to attack the city.
"Passing on the commander's military order, all 5,000 musketeers, in cooperation with the shield soldiers, formed a three-stage strike formation and attacked the city directly, covering behind the rampant sentry, and the spearmen lined up at the end, and went straight into the city to destroy all the enemy troops who dared to resist!"
"Order!"
Under Mo Changrong's order, in the Tang army formation in the south, there were a total of 10,000 musketeers, holding the black and shiny Lumi guns that had already been loaded, lined up in three rows and three sections, followed by the 3,000 shield soldiers in front, and walked towards the city in unison in the sound of neat drums.
Behind the Musketeer, a mecha-like sentry followed. They were divided into two parts, separated on two sides, and firmly guarded the two wings.
In the end, a large number of spearmen followed closely, ready to rush forward and fight the left army hand-to-hand after the Lumi soldiers had withdrawn.
During this time, Uchiyama Yujue, who had retreated from the city, had led the Burmese army and young men in the city to urgently build fortifications at the entrances of various streets and alleys, and prepared for street battles with the Tang army in the city.
Seeing the Tang Army's shield soldiers and firecrackers in the distance, they all stepped in unison, and they were directing a Burmese army to deploy defense at the intersections of each street, and personally escorted the inner mountain in the rear, and he didn't feel that his face was like ashes.
Uchiyama had just seen with his own eyes in the clairvoyant mirror how much the Tang army's Lu Mi gun volley had a killing effect on the Burmese cavalry who were attacking out of the city. It was a slaughter-like scene, and his heart trembled when he thought about it.
He saw with his own eyes that the small lead bullet that weighed only three coins from this flint was much more powerful than the ordinary firearms used by other Ming troops.
You must know that the average firearm can fight at most about 60 paces away, but this Suilu Migun is seen with his own eyes, but from hundreds of paces, he will shoot the best armored Burmese cavalry in his own formation.
This is still such a brilliant result that can be achieved when the Tang armies did not gather and urgently dispatch, and now, these 10,000 Tang armies are shooting together, and the power and lethality effect can be imagined how terrifying it is.
Looking at the Tang Army's military formation getting closer and closer, and seeing the jet-black flint hair rushing from the pole, Uchiyama's heart beat like a drum.
What to do?
Is it really only possible to wait for death in such a city?
No, you can't let the Tang Army attack recklessly like this, and you must not just be a live target for any fight!
If the Tang army continued to shoot like this one hundred and sixty or seventy paces away, then his own men, no matter how many soldiers and horses, would be crushed by such a one-sided massacre.
Sitting back is the most incompetent and stupid solution.
Then, the only way for me now is to seize the time, take advantage of the fact that the Tang army is not ready, order all the defenders, rush out together, and kill these damned Tang army gunners, and must not let them shoot their tens of thousands of subordinates like targets.
Thinking of this, Hao Xiaozhong's face was almost distorted.
He shouted at the general next to him, who was also trembling, and shouted: "Grandma, if you continue to guard like this, I am afraid that you will not escape death in the end." Instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to fight to the death! Listen to me, before the Tang army has come, you quickly lead five thousand elite defenders, as a vanguard commando, highlight the fortifications, and go to raid the Tang army's musketeers, fight with them in close combat, and make their firearms ineffective. Ben Hou will then lead all the soldiers in the city to fight out. We must use the superiority of our forces to fight back these damn Tang troops! ’
"Yes! I understand it under it! “
The lieutenant wiped a handful of oozing cold sweat, answered the order loudly with a stiff face, and then he quickly selected 5,000 soldiers and prepared to go out of the city to fight in close combat with the Tang army battle formation that was getting closer and closer.
A brutal battle between hand-to-hand battles is finally about to begin.
