Chapter 338: Who is more ruthless in the city's top soldiers
The Yi soldiers are actually very good at fighting, which Fu Weiming also has to admit that the characteristics of fighting to the death and not retreating can be found in them.
But even if the Yi soldiers thought about it, they couldn't imagine that Fu Weiming would really take out a big killing weapon, golden juice, that no one was willing to use for a long time.
Especially when the Ming army had artillery to help defend the city, the generals of the Ming army used less and less gold juice.
It's like a double-edged sword, and when it hurts your enemies, you often hurt yourself.
Not to mention anything else, the smell alone can't be dissipated in a day or two.
At least this dose like the one used by Fu Weiming in front of him, at least ten days and half a month is not to be dispersed, this has to be after the battle to clean up the traces of gold juice under the corners of the city wall.
Streams of stench rose to the sky, whether it was a siege or a defender, at this time, they all wished that they had typhoid fever, and they couldn't smell this pungent smell.
Fu Weiming didn't care at all, what happened to the golden juice, what happened to the boiling, the master should not smell it, frowning, the master should not be a hero!
At this time, the south wind gradually rose, and Fu Weiming simply took a few more steps in the direction of the city-forget it, this smell should be less smelly.
It's just that as time passes, the gold juice is gradually insufficient.
Although the raw materials of the golden juice were everywhere in Yongning City, enough for Fu Weiming to cause trouble for a few more days, the speed of boiling could not keep up.
If you change it to a cool one, I don't know if it has any effect, but if someone is really willing to climb to the city with a body of, there is really no way.
The ladder used for siege is not the kind that Emperor Chongzhen has seen in TV series before, even when Jiannu was besieging Jingshi, Emperor Chongzhen did not have a chance to see this thing.
ββIt is impossible for Jiannu who came from afar to bring the ladder over, and the materials needed to build the ladder have basically been cleaned up in advance, so it was not until the time to clean up Wang Zuohang that Emperor Chongzhen really saw the appearance of the ladder.
Since then, Emperor Chongzhen has clearly known that what he has seen in the TV series is basically that the ordinary ladder has been thickened, and it is the director team or the props team who made it out to fool people in order to save money.
The real ladder is just like what Fu Weiming is facing now.
It wasn't like a ladder, but like a slope, it was placed diagonally on the top of the city, and there were hooks on it that could be hung on the walls.
This kind of hook is not easy to get after the siege is over, let alone at the beginning of the war, the castle will throw a rain of arrows at the city to suppress it.
This kind of ladder is actually quite cumbersome, and the slope is also large, and even the soldiers of the siege side can be said to walk up to describe it.
In this case, the only way to prevent the soldiers of the besieging side from attacking the city is to attack the city.
Rolling stones are a kind of thing that relies on its own gravity and inertia to smash the soldiers on the ladder down;
Gold juice is also a kind of thing, and it doesn't feel good to splash this thing on anyone - the dung that rolls away is no less than any biological weapon, and once there is a wound on the body that is contaminated with this thing, it basically means waiting for death;
Another option is to burn down the ladder or use a smash wood to knock it open.
But whether it is to burn the ladder or use the smashing wood to knock it open, it is generally not realistic.
The first thing is to knock away the ladder, and the crashing wood used can be called stupid, black, and thick, and it has to be pushed by twenty or thirty people at the same time.
But the crux of the matter is that there are one or twenty people standing horizontally on the top of the city and then pushing the wood, except for the large cities like the capital or Jinling and Chang'an, how many people can stand at the head of the city?
In this way, the last remaining option is to burn the ladder.
But if you want to burn the ladder, you have to ignite the fire, this is easy to do, Daming is not without fierce fire oil, as long as you pour a little fire upwards, even if it rains, you are not afraid of this.
But the question goes back to the first one, if you want to get rid of the hook, you will face a rain of arrows thrown from under the city, and when you light a fire on the ladder, it will not be covered by the rain of arrows?
That's obviously impossible.
Although it is said that the protection of the shield can be used when the fire is ignited, isn't it just a matter of being afraid of what happens?
In case one of the unlucky eggs is shot, and the torch in his hand just ignites the fire oil on the top of the city, will this burn the ladder or burn himself?
All in all, once a thing like a ladder hits the top of the city, it will be like a toad climbing onto the top of the city for the defenders of the city.
Under normal circumstances, as long as the defenders of the city are well prepared, it is difficult to capture the head of the city by relying on the ladder alone, but it will bring great casualties to the defenders of the city, in short, it is very disgusting.
Now Fu Weiming has encountered such a situation, he crashed away, and there was no way to hit it; If you burn it, you are afraid of hurting your own people, and it will take too long to burn it with a torch.
And the gold juice in the city is gradually starting to run out of supply.
As the defense of the defenders at the head of the city gradually weakened, it began to make Hao Chongming and An Bangyan feel that there was a great hope of taking Yongning.
The Four Descendants Great Elder An Bangyan, who had already begun to look forward to the scene of the slaughter of the city, said: "Great King, you can also throw the men and horses in my hand, Yongning is already beckoning to us." β
An Bangyan instinctively felt that something was wrong, and objected: "Wait and see, there will be no change in another half an hour, and you will throw your soldiers and horses into it together." β
Although An Bangyan was born as a great elder, his experience in leading troops to fight was far inferior to that of Yu Chongming, and when he heard this, he just snorted, and no longer mentioned the matter of throwing the last reserve soldiers and horses in his hands into the siege.
Fu Weiming at the head of the city looked at the last reserve troops in the hands of Yu Chongming and An Bangyan in the distance and never put them into the siege, but the pressure on the city was slowly increasing, and immediately gritted his teeth and ordered: "Pass my order, drive them down, and burn the ladder!" β
These Yi soldiers can no longer be allowed to continue to attack the city, and if it drags on for a while, it will only take half an hour, and the city head should really be lost.
As the herald conveyed Fu Weiming's order, the defenders at the head of the city began to burst out with maximum combat strength, and for a while, the battlements and walls of the city wall became a flesh mill.
"Damn it!" , Yu Chongming couldn't help but scold angrily.
The defenders at the head of the city are really preserving their strength and leading themselves to attack the city with all their might, if it weren't for the fact that after sending all the soldiers and a reserve army in the hands of An Bangyan, I don't know what kind of trick the little bastard on the city head would come up with.
Watching the figures rolling down one by one above the city, An Bangyan's heart was dripping blood, they were all good sons and daughters of some clans, and they were just gone?
Time was urgent, and An Bangyan couldn't think about it anymore, so he immediately spoke: "King, withdraw the army, you can't fill it with human lives like this!" β
Yu Chongming snorted coldly and ordered: "Spread the will of this king, after breaking the city, the knife will not be sealed for three days!" β
Yu Chongming's personal soldiers ran to give the order, but An Bangyan was anxious and said angrily: "You can't fill it in like this anymore!" How many people are heads? β
Extravagant Chongming took his eyes off the city, turned to An Bangyan, and shouted angrily: "Now it is this king who is commanding the battle!" How to fight, I don't need you to teach this king! β
An Bangyan was also angry, it was Lao Tzu who took you in when you had no way out, and now you show off your majesty as the king of Liang with Lao Tzu?
An Bangyan, who was also unhappy in his heart, also shouted: "Extravagant Chongming! Do you really think of yourself as an emperor!? Don't forget, I'm the Great Elder of the Four Descents, not a slave who listens to you! β
Yu Chongming sneered: "Yes, you are the Great Elder of the Four Descendants, but don't forget, you have never led troops to fight!"
Now in this situation, you tell this king to withdraw from the army? How to return? Those who use soldiers are most afraid of giving up halfway, and collecting troops at this time is a rout!
If one is not done well, the cavalry in the city will run out and chase after him! When the time comes, do you still expect our soldiers to run on two legs over four legs? Dream on you! β
An Bangyan knew that what Yu Chongming said was the truth, and he didn't know how to lead troops to fight, but Yu Chongming turned out to have led soldiers.
But being ridiculed by Yu Chongming like this, An Bangyan felt that his face couldn't hold it.
was about to ridicule each other, but Yu Chongming took the lead and said: "It's almost half an hour now, bear with it a little longer."
When the guards at the head of the city can't bear it, the soldiers and horses in your hands will press it again, and this Yongning City will be ours. β
When An Bangyan heard this, he had to press the unhappiness in his heart, but after looking at the misery of the warring sides in the city, he couldn't stand it anymore, and turned his head and underestimated the blessings of the gods and Buddhas from all walks of life.
Yu Chongming couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
Doing great things and cherishing one's body and being kind to not being in charge of the army, what An Bangyan said is like this.
Obviously, he can't lead soldiers and can't fight, so he has to drag his subordinates to die together, which is really funny.
In a siege battle like this, the most taboo thing to regret is to fight a battle of refueling and retreat halfway.
It's just that this An Bangyan doesn't understand bullshit, and he thinks about withdrawing troops because he is distressed about the casualties of the children in the clan, what is this bullshit?
Where are the undead in war?
Isn't it just to be able to break the city in one go?
But this idiot actually wants to withdraw at this time?
Yu Chongming felt that according to the Yin strength of the Ming army commander in the city when he scolded people, if he dared to retreat and that bastard did not chase after him with a cavalry rank, it would really be the biggest joke in the world.
At this time, Fu Weiming at the head of the city was also secretly crying in his heart.
Among the 5,600 people of Yongningwei, 3,600 foot soldiers and 600 logistics have already been put up.
The remaining 400 artillery men are not willing to use it, and there are 1,000 cavalry, which is the last killer weapon, and it is even more impossible to use it.
If it weren't for the fact that the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies suddenly went crazy and demanded that all the soldiers who could fight in the defense must be fully established, in fact, the entire Yongning Guard could even draw less than 2,000 people.
Even so, there is now a trend that is gradually unbearable - there are too many people under Yu Chongming, and the ants bite to death as if they are talking about the current situation.
At this time, on the head of Yongning City, it is not an exaggeration to describe it with flesh and blood flying and stumps everywhere, on the battlements, you can see hanging intestines and arms from time to time, and this situation is actually similar on the ground.
Even the ground on the wall has been soaked with blood from both sides, and it is slippery and greasy to step on.
Just when Fu Weiming was thinking about whether to use the artillery and cavalry that were left as his backhand, Xu Chen, who was a thousand households in the former thousand households, had already stepped on the blood and ran over.
Stretching out his hand to wipe the blood on his head that he didn't know if it was himself or Yi Bing, Xu Chen arched his hand and said, "My lord, shrink the line of defense, the brothers really can't stand it!" β
Fu Weiming didn't care about whether to use artillery and cavalry at this time, and shouted angrily: "How to shrink?!" This is at the head of the city, and once the head of the city is lost, the rebels will enter the city! You don't know what the consequences will be? β
Xu Chen said in a mournful voice: "My lord, pity the poor brothers, the casualties are too great!" There are almost two of the ten hundred households marked! β
Fu Weiming snorted coldly and said: "You listen to Lao Tzu, no matter how much you don't beat, Lao Tzu will add it to you, but if you dare to take a step back, you won't be spared!" β
The military order is like a mountain, as long as he does not intend to be doomed to be punished by the Nine Clans like Extravagant Chongming, then no matter how many people die, he will not be able to retreat a single step.
Xu Chen, who was in a state of frustration, straightened up and shouted with tears in his eyes: "Yes!" Mark the command! β
Looking at Xu Chen, who was covered in blood, Fu Weiming's heart also softened, and his tone of voice was a little better: "Resist, the reinforcements will arrive soon." In a little while, it's time for those rebels to see the power of our artillery! β
Hearing that Fu Weiming finally planned to use artillery, Xu Chen's heart was immediately overjoyed, and he replied loudly and then returned to the defensive line.
Ignoring how Xu Chen explained to his Qianhu, Fu Weiming just secretly apologized.
In order to maximize the damage to Yu Chongming's troops, Fu Weisuo had to harden his heart and fool back the few thousands of households who came to ask for help, as for when the artillery would fire the first shell, Fu Weiming didn't mention it.
Until nearly half an hour passed, when the Yongning guards who had never been able to wait for reinforcements at the head of the city were really unable to withstand it, Fu Weiming and Yu Chongming made a move at the same time.
Looking at the changes in the city, he said with great joy: "It's done, Great Elder, press your soldiers and horses, Yongning City can't hold on!" βγ
And all the heralds around Fu Weiming at this time were also sent out, and only one order from Fu Weiming was conveyed: hold on for another quarter of an hour, and after a quarter of an hour, the artillery will hit the rebels, and the cavalry will rush out of the city gate to charge.
A quarter of an hour's time, which translates into the time of the Hereafter, is fifteen minutes.
If you play mobile games and watch videos, or even chat about penguins or WeChat, it is basically a blink of an eye.
But in this kind of fierce battle at the head of the city, every minute and every second gives people the feeling of living like a year.
To this extent, it is basically just a matter of fighting who is more ruthless and who is not afraid of death.
