Chapter 442 Attack under the city wall
The newcomers of the Ming Kingdom were forced by Jiang Riguang's momentum, coupled with the shock of the bloody reality, they all had to speed up their pace, trotted all the way, and rushed towards Pingliang City.
The captured Ming people charged in front, and Jiang Riguang followed closely behind the Ming people with 3,000 Han slaves, twenty paces away.
This time, Tashhai gave Jiang Riguang an order, asking the latter to kill under the cover of the people of the Ming Kingdom under the cover of Pingliang City, and shoot the defenders on the city head with bows and arrows from a distance. Jiang Riguang got the order, so he took his three thousand brothers, with bows and arrows and sabers, and followed behind the people of the Ming Dynasty.
When the people of the Ming Dynasty were fifty steps away from the city wall, the archers at the head of the city bent their bows and arrows, and released three or four waves of bows and arrows, shooting a lot of the Ming people who ran in front.
The first wave of civilians to be captured by the Mongols had already received the baptism of such battle formations, and knew that even if they turned back, they would only die, because even if they were attacked by archers, they still moved forward without turning back even a half step.
But the newcomers did not know what it meant to turn back on the battlefield, and in a panic, they screamed and wailed and turned back, only to see Han Chinese slaves with sabers in their hands and a murderous look on their faces.
"Whoever dares to turn back, kill." After Jiang Riguang said this, he struck with a knife and slashed a middle-aged man who was running in front into two pieces.
The rest of the Han slaves also did the same, frantically slashing and killing the people of the Ming Kingdom who escaped.
Running away is also death, and dying faster.
After the newly arrived Ming people were slashed and killed by Han slaves, they were forced to have no choice but to turn their heads again and continue to move forward.
The archers in the defenders of the city were inspired by the heavy reward, and many of them were extraordinary, and they were stunned to release four or five arrows before they were exhausted and retreated, only some archers who were born with divine power did not forget to take a cold breath and continue to shoot at the enemy troops under the city.
Most of the archers on the head of the city retreated with all their strength, and the rain of arrows immediately became extremely sparse, and the pressure of the people of the Ming Kingdom suddenly decreased, and they hurriedly quickened their pace and rushed violently, so that they were getting closer and closer to the Pingliang city wall.
They rushed for a while, and then they were twenty paces away from the wall, and when they reached this distance, it was time for the tiger to squat and fire.
"Brothers, pay attention, the enemy army is coming, it is still the old rule, first come with a salvo, and then everyone will kill the enemy according to their ability, whoever kills more will get more bounty." The leader of the Ming army, who was in charge of commanding the artillery, shouted loudly at everyone.
"Hey, that's good."
Everyone happily agreed, and then all the gunners poked their heads out of the female wall in the order of division of labor in which two gunners carried the cannons and one gunner was responsible for aiming and firing, intending to find a suitable target.
This is the time that Jiang Riguang is waiting for!
"Brothers, bend your bow and shoot at the Ming army with artillery." Jiang Riguang ordered to his subordinates beside him.
"Brothers, shoot the Ming army with artillery."
Jiang Riguang's cronies handed down the orders of their leaders one by one.
"Yes." When the Han slaves received the order, they bent their bows and arrows one after another, first aiming at the artillery that was looking for a target at the head of Pingliang City, and then loosened their fingers and shot out the long arrows in their hands.
At this time, these Han slaves were still forty steps away from the Pingliang City Wall, and they were attacking from below, attacking high with low, so it stands to reason that it is difficult to dare to be.
I don't think most of the feathers shot by these Han slaves

The arrow seemed to have eyes, and flew straight towards the Ming artillerymen holding torches on the head of Pingliang City.
Besides, those Ming artillery had not been hit before, and they were a little lax in defense, and they thought that they were always safe no matter how they hit the enemy, and when they were looking for targets, they all leaned out of the female wall with most of their bodies, and there was no cover at all.
For Han Chinese slaves who have lived in the steppe for many years and have been contaminated with some Mongol characteristics, it is not very difficult to attack such a target.
"Poof, poof, poof, poof......"
The sound of bows and arrows entering the flesh continued to sound, and many Ming gunners were hit in the neck, driven away, head and face, or arm by the feather arrows fired by Han slaves.
"Ah,"
"Oops!"
Screams and exclamations came one after another.
Many gunners were really unable to hold the artillery because of the sudden attack, which caused the tiger squat cannon to fall directly to the ground, killing and injuring many of the surrounding gunners.
"Damn, the Northern Capture Bow is so good, and I'm not busy firing." The gunner's leader saw that his men had suffered heavy casualties and that the Han slaves were also quite astonishing in their bowing skills, so he hastened to order his men to be careful in battle.
By this time, artillery could no longer be counted on alone.
"Archers, have you rested, the archers of the Northern Captives are raging, and come to shoot at the Northern Captives, suppress them, so that our gunners can fire again." Seeing that his artillery was gradually in danger of being suppressed, Liu Shoubei hurriedly let his archers continue to fight.
Those archers were still recuperating their strength and preparing to fight again, but they did not expect that they were in danger at the moment, and they could not help but slowly recover their strength, so they had to hurry forward, lean their backs against the female wall, and draw their bows and arrows, ready to suppress the enemy archers under the city.
"Later, you just shoot and kill the enemy who released the arrows, and don't worry about the rest of the enemy army, you have your own people to greet you." Liu Shoubei ordered to his archers.
"Yes, sir." The archers replied loudly.
"Everyone except the archers listens, the enemy army has temporarily suppressed us, I am afraid that they will attack the city in a while, you listen, no matter what, you must defend desperately, no matter what, you can't let the enemy army gain a foothold on the city wall, if we can't stop them from climbing the city wall, then Pingliang City will be over, can you write it down?" Liu Shoufu shouted orders to the other defenders except the archers.
"Yes, sir."
When the officers and soldiers received the order, they moved logs, lifted stones, and held 10,000 enemies in their hands, always ready to meet the enemy.
It is said that Liu Shoubei is arranging countermeasures on this side, but Jiang Riguang on the other side is not idle.
"Xie Yuanjin, the enemy artillery at the head of the city has been suppressed by our army, those people should be able to set up a ladder, you go quickly, take five hundred brothers, mix with those people, kill together, don't let them surrender directly after they go up."
Jiang Riguang was worried that these people would surrender when they climbed to the top of the city, so he let his henchmen mix with the people of the Ming Kingdom, and once he could get to the top of the city, he immediately slashed and killed the defenders, muddying the water, making the defenders nervous, and not daring to accept the surrendered people casually, so that these people could only work for themselves.
"Yes, let's go." Xie Yuanjin immediately understood Jiang Riguang's thoughts, and he immediately looked around and shouted loudly: "Five hundred people, follow me to the city." ”
"Here we are." Xie Yuanjin called
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Calling, there were 500 Han slaves who threw their longbows on the ground, walked quickly with their sabers, followed Xie Yuanjin, and plunged into the ranks of the people of the Ming Kingdom.
At this time, because of the deterrence of bows and arrows on the side of the Han slaves, the cannon that the people of the Ming Kingdom were most afraid of never sounded a few times, and these people hurriedly used all their strength to carry the ladder and rushed towards the city wall.
Fifteen steps, ten steps, five steps, the siege team on the Mongol side is getting closer and closer to the Pingliang city wall, and the battle between the city and the city has just begun.
Relying on the cover of the female wall, the archers of the defenders in the city poked their heads out from time to time to shoot at the Han slaves under the city, but the Han slaves had no shelter here, so they could only run around and shoot arrows to counterattack the defenders of the city.
The result of the two sides shooting each other, but the Han slaves took advantage of the advantage, after all, they often helped the Mongols in the Chahar Department hunt on the grassland, and their archery skills were naturally much stronger than those of the Ming army who rarely practiced on weekdays.
The two sides fired at each other for a while, and the archers of the defenders at the head of Pingliang City not only failed to suppress the Han slaves, but on the contrary, they had a tendency to be suppressed by the Han slaves.
The archers had no way to suppress the attack of the enemy archers, and their own artillery naturally had no way to exert their full combat effectiveness, and soon, the Mongol army successfully forced into the base of the city wall.
When you get to this place, you can at least build a ladder.
Before the people of the Ming Kingdom who had rushed here had time to take a breath, they hurriedly leaned the improvised ladder against the city wall.
"Da, da." The sound of crashing sounded one after another, and many ladders up to six meters long leaned against the city wall.
"Xie Yuanjin and they are going up, brothers, take care of them." Jiang Riguang saw that Xie Yuanjin was about to start landing the city with his five hundred brothers, so he shouted loudly, and led his men to guard the city wall more and more tightly, it can be said that as long as someone shows his head, he will generally be shot decisively by his own side.
In this way, even if you are temporarily unable to kill or injure the enemy, you can still deter the enemy and make the enemy army dare not act rashly.
It is said that Pingliang City has been killed to the first part, and Tashhai, who is still monitoring over there, can't help but shake his head slightly, look around and say: "This Pingliang is also a big city, why are the people guarding the city so bad, it's only been a day, so that the Han dogs who can only farm on weekdays, and the Han dogs who help us herd sheep attack the city, which is really weak." I still remember that when we fought Datong, our 100,000 troops fought around it, and our Mongolian warriors went into battle in person, but they couldn't help it in the slightest. ”
"Who's to say it's not, Boss! If Hong Chengchou hadn't killed people so quickly, we would have been able to break through this city for a few more days if we fought under Pingliang City for a few more days. One of Tashhai's cronies lamented with great regret.
"That's a good word, such a defender, such a city defense, let our Mongolian warriors, I'm afraid we can take this city today." Tashhai said the last sentence in a dry manner.
"Boss, this kind of thing is just thinking about it, the Great Khan now looks at us like a baby, and he refuses to let us lose it for no reason no matter what, so he can only let these Han dogs beat." The cronie replied.
"That's right, we can't forget this mission, these Han dogs who herd sheep for us, let's die more." Tashhai smiled indifferently.
