Chapter 108: The Bloody Battle of Dock Fort 1

The lord of the Dajin Kingdom, Hai Lin Bao, looked coldly at the dock fort in front of him.

Like the dock forts he had breached countless before, the rammed earth walls were tall and thick, with overhangs for firing arrows.

Unlike before, the defenders of the dock fort in front of them obviously have a stronger will to fight.

This can be understood by looking at the series of human heads hanging on the wooden poles at the head of the wall.

"Then Xu Shiyang's nickname is 'Juzhou Tiger'? Looks right. ”

Hai Lin Bao sneered and said:

"It's been more than ten years since I've seen a Han dog who dares to provoke my Dajin like this, right?"

"Master!" An angry Jurchen Mouke drove his horse close to Hai Linbao and shouted for battle: "Please allow the master to allow the slave to be the vanguard, break this dock fort, capture the dock fort master and scrape it carefully, and avenge the dead warriors!" ”

"No!" Hai Linbao shook his head and vetoed his subordinates' request, and said with a sneer: "As soon as we crossed the canal, there were rumors everywhere that Xu Shiyang killed my child last year. Later, the Xu family came, wanting to sacrifice him and begging me to let the other families go, why do you think this? ”

"Uh......."

"Hehe, that Xu Shiyang's arrogance is probably true." Without waiting for his subordinates to answer, Hai Linbao gave his own answer: "But he didn't reveal the news carelessly!" That Xu Shiyang is waiting for us to come! ”

"Yesterday, there were more than a dozen sentry riders, and none of them came back, probably because of the power of the firearms that the old man of the Xu family said? This is probably the basis for Xu Shiyang to dare to lead me to a decisive battle! ”

Hai Linbao proudly pointed at the dock wall with his horsewhip and said loudly:

"This fort is a must, otherwise I will fall into a big golden prestige! But my Dajin warriors must not be injured! Let those newly caught Han dogs go ahead! Fill in the ditch if you are dead! ”

After a while, about 200 slave soldiers drew their swords and forced the newly captured Han Chinese to walk towards the dock wall, all of them unarmed, but carrying some dirt bags on their backs, ready to fill in the trenches and dock walls.

There was an earth-shattering cry among the plundered Han people, and anyone who fell behind would be killed on the spot, and no one would show mercy, because they were followed by two hundred traitor soldiers and two hundred true Jurchens, and they would not be soft on those in front of them either.

Xu Shiyang was on the wall, frowning at this scene.

He has been in this world for a few years, and he has seen similar human tragedies many times, and when he didn't come out of Ertun before, he had seen bandits drive people to attack the fort, but every time he saw someone use this kind of cheap trick, he still felt very angry.

"I knew that I would have brought back the Tartar captives that I gave to the long house last year."

Xu Shiyang said coldly:

"Well, it's useless to come back, those can't tell if they're Tartars for a long time."

"I can only use the new ones I caught yesterday, but it's a pity that there are too few, only three."

Xie Zhen ran over and whispered, "Castle Master, let's fire!" Gotta disperse these people! ”

"Don't worry, we'll talk about it when we get closer."

Xu Shiyang replied:

"Stripped the three Tartars I caught yesterday and hung them upside down on the wall."

Hurt each other! Who's afraid of whom!

In the distance, the pupils of Hai Linbao's eyes shrank sharply, and he was surprised to see three upside-down people suddenly appear on the dock wall, the three guys were all naked, and their bodies were covered with scars, all of them seemed to have just been fished out of the sea of blood, and there were pigtails hanging under their heads, obviously the sentry riders who lost their opponents yesterday.

There was a commotion in the Jurchen army, and some people couldn't help but scold.

Hai Linbao's face also became very ugly, this was simply a slap in the face.

When has Daikin been so insulted by the Han people in the past ten years? If this scene reached the ears of Su Shi Lie Zhining, the punishment would be light.

"Attack! Break this dock fort, and the chickens and dogs will not be left! ”

A majestic bull's horn sounded, and the Jurchen soldiers who walked at the end let out a burst of inhuman howls, brandishing their broadswords and began to accelerate.

The few traitor soldiers who were left behind didn't have time to dodge, and immediately turned their heads in different places.

The others also screamed and ran forward as soon as they saw that something was wrong, followed by the Jurchen slave soldiers, and the newly captured Han Chinese.

Jin Jun was like a wave, pushing the front from behind, and slapping fiercely in the direction of the breastwork.

The distance quickly approached to 50 paces, and the enemy troops in front were still approaching, and the real Jurchens in the rear stopped one after another, skillfully drawing light arrows and placing them on their war bows.

Then there was another horn sound, and a swarm of bees sounded in the True Jurchen array:

Airplanes!

Hundreds of light arrows soared into the air, reaching the top of the Dock Fort wall.

Then came the second and third rounds, in which 200 True Jurchen soldiers threw light arrows at the earthen wall with a similar frequency to suppress the resistance.

There was a dense clanging sound from the wall, occasionally mixed with a few screams, and it was clear that the anti-arrow hanger was not 100% reliable.

The Jurchen archers quickly shot 10 rounds, shooting the entire top of the dock wall like hedgehogs, and even the three unlucky people hanging upside down were completely dead. However, until this point, the defenders did not return fire, as if they had killed them all by shooting arrows alone.

Hai Lin Bao, who was watching the battlefield from afar, faintly felt that things were not so simple, if he could win by shooting a few arrows, those sentry horses died too unjustly yesterday.

Sure enough, as the crowd of dirt bags approached the edge of the trench, a crisp trumpet sounded ahead.

Then there was the deafening roar.

On the breastwork, 10 wooden cannons opened fire in unison, and the sound waves were like rolling thunder that quickly overwhelmed the vanguard of the entire Jurchen army, and the people who were driven in front fell in pieces, and they were weakened by two layers in an instant, and countless people rolled on the ground screaming, and the smell of blood mixed with the pungent smoke of gunpowder spread on this small battlefield.

This was followed by 150 musketeers under the five squadrons, and since the Tartars came up to attack the west side of the dock fort, Xu Shiyang was not polite, and arranged all the new troops here - he had the advantage of internal line maneuver, and if the enemy turned to attack other dock walls, the new army would take the inner dock wall and arrive before the enemy, so it had a good geographical advantage.

The arquebusiers and musketeers fired at the same time, and the firing rate of the muskets that had been loaded before the war reached 9 percent of the level of the training ground, and more than 130 lead bullets swept out, cutting down a row of people who were dazed in the smoke and did not know what to do.

Then the people who had been driven by the Tartars were completely defeated.

The surging crowd screamed and fled backwards, instantly drowning the equally overwhelmed Jurchen slave soldiers.

"Attack!" Xie Zhen shouted: "Kill the Tartars!" ”

Taking advantage of the enemy's unfamiliarity with firearms, launch a thunderous blow to weaken and deter the enemy, and then quickly dispatch to push the enemy's forward and roll back the main force, which is the specialty of the Dingyuan battalion.

They had used this trick before, defeating thousands of Japanese with a hundred men, and now they naturally wanted to seize the opportunity to repeat that glorious victory.

The soldiers of the Dingyuan battalion shouted in unison, and more than a dozen long ladders were erected at the top of the breastwork wall and above the trench, and then, Xie Zhen and Jie Bao took the lead, and the melee soldiers took the lead in rushing out of the breastwork to launch a counterattack against the Tartars.
