Chapter 106: Tian Xiong attacks two more
"I am willing to accept all the arrangements of fate, but I do not succumb to fate, there is only a glimmer of life, and I will fight to the end." Zhang Xuan's hand grabbed the clairtelean mirror in his hand, and looked at the soldiers who walked below, as well as the word "Tian" and the flag.
"Here we are." Zhang Xuan secretly said in his heart: "Deng He, Linying Camp, the next thing will be handed over to you." ”
"Kill. -------" burst out from in front of the wall.
Under the command of Tian Xiong, more than 100 soldiers in armor jumped up and rushed up to the wall from the gentle slope that had been overturned.
"Boom ---" a cannon sounded,
Countless iron sand sprayed out, and the soldiers who had just rushed up were bombarded by a cannon, and the whole life was smashed from the wall to the ground, not only in one place, but also in several places.
Zhang Xuan also had artillery.
Most of Zhang Xuan's artillery was borrowed from Yuan Shizhong, but they were all small cannons. In Zhang Xuan's view, these artillery pieces should be infantry fire support, and could not be used as artillery alone, so they were assigned to the second city wall.
The second city wall is actually not too strong, it is three or four zhang behind the wall, local materials, the excavated soil is piled up on one side to build, the ordinary rammed earth process, if you face the bombardment of cannons, it is estimated that it is not as useful as the first wall.
Even the second wall is a little shorter than the first.
There is a long ladder between the first walled wall and the second wall, the long ladder has been removed at this moment, and every officer and sergeant waiting for the walled wall is faced with a trench one or two feet deep, and there are countless elite wooden thorns in the trench, and there are wrist-thick wooden sticks sharpened to make up, once you fall, don't think about life.
The distance of three or four zhang is by no means something that some soldiers can jump over, but it is within the striking range of fire scattering bullets.
Of course, this position is not a dead end for the artillery, and if the artillery is projectile like a bow and arrow, it should be easy to smash over.
However, based on Zhang Xuan's experience in training artillery, the artillery of this era was still mainly based on direct fire, and it was really difficult for him to let them hit invisible targets.
Deng He sneered and said, "Release the arrow." ”
More than 1,000 soldiers immediately bent their bows to place Deng He's requested angle and shot out.
For a while, arrows rained down, and the snatched ones shot in front of the wall, within a distance of one or two zhang, extremely dense.
Speaking of these bows and arrows, Zhang Xuan also has to thank his father-in-law, Luo Rucai treats him well, at least the lack of many weapons in his army is all supplemented, although it does not reach what Zhang Xuan thought, each soldier has a bow, but there are more than 1,000 bows in Linying.
And this distance is very conducive to the use of archers in the camp.
Zhang Xuan's army may have a few sharpshooters, but in fact, the number is very small, most of the soldiers are just getting started, it would be good to be able to shoot bows and arrows, this distance is just right, and if it is farther, they may not even be able to do a covering salvo.
"Rush. Rush, rush. Tian Xiong was furious, and stood in the rain of arrows with dozens of personal soldiers, urging the soldiers to rush up.
There is no turning back from the bow, since he is here, Tian Xiong naturally must have an achievement, and he is willing to give up.
A large number of officers and soldiers rushed to the wall like a target, and were shot down by the scattered shells of artillery, and even mixed with arrows and short spears.
"My lord, no, there are traps in there." An officer easily jumped off the wall, and escaped with a small life, and said: "The thieves have built another wall behind the wall, and there is a deep ditch between the two walls, and there are traps below. ”
"I see." Tian Xiong's face was expressionless, he suddenly drew his knife and cut off this person's head, held it in his hand and shouted: "General Huang's order, there is no advance or retreat in this battle, and those who dare to review it are just like this person." ”
Originally, there were many people who were a little hesitant at the moment, but when they looked at this head, they suddenly heard that it was Huang Degong's order, and they didn't dare to hesitate at all, even if they knew that rushing forward would be a life of death, but they didn't dare to show a trace of timidity.
One by one, the soldiers rushed forward, and were either killed or retreated into the deep ravine, pierced by numerous sharp wooden thorns.
"You come with me." Tian Xiong shouted loudly and said with the soldiers around him.
He didn't say a word, and rushed to the gate of the wall.
There doesn't seem to be a trace of people guarding the gate at the moment, Tian Xiong knows that this place must be extremely dangerous, but if he doesn't rush in from here, Tian Xiong doesn't know where to rush from.
Although he strictly ordered that he could not retreat, he also knew that the soldier's ability to bear was limited, and if there were too many dead, he would definitely collapse, so he must take this village before the soldier collapsed, or even not take this village, just rushing in, it can also show that he has no merit, and there is also a decent saying on Huang Degong's side.
A few antlers were lifted, and the neat gate of the wall, under the impact of the officers and soldiers, opened in a while.
As soon as the gate of the wall opened, Tian Xiong's eyes suddenly shrank, he saw several artillery pieces neatly placed here, and several gunners stood behind him, waiting for him with red-hot iron sticks.
"Spread out."
Tian Xiong only had time to pounce to the side when he felt a hot current of heat coming from him
place to rush through.
Dozens of pro-soldiers were suddenly planted on the ground, Tian Xiong looked at it, and suddenly felt a bad cold, only to feel a smell of barbecue coming to his face, these soldiers have been unrecognizable, they can't see who is who, some have become twisted faces, their faces are covered with iron sand, and some have simply lost half of their heads, red and white.
Red is blood, white is brain.
"Shield car. Shield car. Archers, archers. Tian Xiong was a veteran of the war, and such a scene only made him feel uncomfortable for a while, but in a moment, he adjusted and shouted: "Shield cart, archer, come here, come here." "Shields, archers, and musketeers are all essential in siege warfare. How could Tian Xiong not be prepared.
In just a moment, several shield carts pushed over, and dozens of archers also gathered behind the shield carts.
At this moment, without Tian Xiong's supervision, the speed of the other soldiers who climbed over the walled wall to attack the city naturally slowed down.
After all, when it comes to matters related to one's own life, everyone will learn to be smart, this is instinct.
As soon as the shield car came, the muzzle artillery was immediately replaced with solid shells, and it was not easy to miss at such a close distance, but after a few shots, the shield car broke up.
However, some of the shells fired by these small cannons were able to punch a hole in the shield cart, and some of them could not punch a hole in their faces, but they only injured some of the soldiers who pushed the cart. The damage to the shield car itself is just a discount on the bracket below.
Even a crippled shield car can give officers and non-commissioned officers a good cover, and at least they can't be pierced with scattered bullets or something.
"Woohoo." Bows and arrows flew out, officers and soldiers returned fire with bows and crossbows, and some soldiers shot out all kinds of arrows that were running together with a hundred tigers, what were swarms of bees, and all kinds of arrows that were not set on fire, and in an instant, a layer of arrows was almost instantly covered with a layer of arrows on the place where several cannons were, as if a layer of weeds called arrows grew on the ground.
Even though these gunners had some cover to cover them, many soldiers were attacked for a while, and the artillery fire was sluggish.
"Kill." Seeing that the time had come, Tian Xiong shouted loudly and rushed forward with his soldiers.
Tian Xiong can go from a soldier to an intermediate future under Huang Degong, he will undoubtedly be able to fight and dare to fight, otherwise he will not be appreciated by Huang Degong and will be the backbone. Xu is a deputy general, not that one general is so favored by Huang Degong.
Tian Xiong is not only cunning, but also resourceful. is also a strong general, When he dares to work hard, Tian Xiong never stingy with his own soldiers, rushing to kill in front, and his martial arts are also very good. This is also Huang Degong's habit, and this habit has also deeply affected Huang Degong's subordinates, but I don't know whether it is good or bad.
"That's it." Because there was no wall to cover it, Zhang Xuan could see the battle here clearly.
