Seeing that many pseudo-Tang thief armies are about to climb to the top of the city!

And at this time, the Ming army at the head of the city will naturally not sit still, and let these heavy-armored sword and shield soldiers of the pseudo-Tang thief army rush to the city, because once they are allowed to rush up, it will be a massacre!

At the beginning, many Ming soldiers lifted the boiling water and even splashed the oil downward, and after these hot oil and water poured on the Datang New Army soldiers below, they screamed in pain!

There were also people who threw stones and even rolling logs downward, which also caused casualties among some Tang soldiers!

But just like this, naturally it can't stop the attack of these Datang New Army soldiers!

They finally withstood the firepower of the Ming army and crossed a distance of 100 meters, and after they arrived under the city wall, they saw that they were about to climb the city wall, how could they give up easily at this time!

The one below was also dressed in armor, but on the helmet was a sword and shield hand marked with the rank of second lieutenant, who did not care about a boulder that fell under his feet, and shouted: "Quick, quick, rush up, just rush up, we will win!" ”

He was joined by many other officers!

They kept urging the soldiers to start climbing the walls, and even they themselves began to climb up the long ladder!

Seeing the pseudo-Tang thief army below gradually coming up, in charge of a hundred households on this section of the city wall, with a panicked look on his face, he shouted: "Quick, cut off their ladder!" ”

Immediately, a Ming army ran up and tried to cut the long ladder, but the long ladder was built on a section of the city wall, not bamboo and wood, but iron, in order to prevent the enemy from cutting the long ladder and then overthrowing the long ladder!

After struggling to slash a few times, his hands were shaken and hurt, but the iron hook on the long ladder was still intact, just when this Ming soldier was about to despair, at this time, a Ming soldier carried a stone and lifted it directly, and then smashed it towards the pseudo-Tang thief army that was climbing up under the long ladder!

Although the shield in the hands of the soldiers of the Datang New Army who was climbing below was also thick, it could not block the huge impact of the boulder rolling down.

The shield hadn't broken yet, but he couldn't hold on to the long ladder, and then let out a muffled snort and fell down, knocking down a comrade behind him by the way.

The Ming soldier who threw the stone at the head of the city also showed a relieved expression when he saw this scene!

But his expression didn't last long, because just a second later, his whole body was hit by something, and then the whole person fell backwards!

When others looked at it, they saw that a large blood hole had appeared in the chest of this Ming soldier who had already reached the end, and the hot blood was rapidly spurting out, and it quickly soaked the city wall under him.

At the same time, the musketeers of the 1st Brigade, about 80 meters outside the city walls, did not know that the shot he had just fired had hit the enemy, and after he fired, he did not look ahead at all, in fact, because of the smoke of gunpowder, he could not see clearly.

After he finished shooting, the first thing he did was to put the gun down and start a new round of reloading!

At this time, his superior, the captain of the 3rd Musket Brigade, had already given the order to prepare for the next round of shooting!

As a veteran musketeer, his reloading action is quite standard and fast, and it doesn't take long to reload and raise his gun!

However, the officer has not yet given the order to shoot, so he has not had time to quickly glance left and right, the comrade-in-arms on the left is the same as himself, he is also a veteran, although the loading action is slower than his own, but at this time it has also been loaded, but the comrade-in-arms on the right is a rookie who has just been replenished from the recruit camp for only five or six days!

At this time, I was in a hurry to reload, and there was a mistake!

Immediately, he said: "Don't panic, take it easy, now those Ming troops can't beat you, only you fight them, what's the panic!" ”

The recruit seemed to be older than the veteran, but at this time, he showed a look of embarrassment, and did not speak, but continued to load!

Although something went wrong, the recruit finally caught up with the officer's order to reload, and then raised his musket.

At this time, the musketeers heard the voice of the platoon commander who was near them: "Ready! ”

"Aim!"

"Shoot!"

Under a series of commands, the musketeers also pulled the trigger smoothly, and as with the previous shots, they had no way of knowing whether they had hit the enemy or not.

With so many people shooting together, the ghost knows if he has hit the enemy.

However, after this round of shooting, the Ming army at the head of the city seems to have fallen a lot of people, and some even fell from the city wall with a terrible scream!

Cai Erhu, who was under the city wall, had already dismounted, and seeing that the Ming soldiers on the city head had fallen again, he couldn't help but glance back at the musketeers in the rear, and then muttered: "You're not lazy to fight!" ”

Then he turned around and swept left and right quickly, and shouted again: "What's going on with the second assault battalion, don't be stunned, climb up quickly, stay under the city wall and wait for death?" ”

After shouting, suddenly a bow and arrow came straight at him from the top of the city, and then directly nailed to his chest armor!

The arrow attacked, which made Cai Erhu startled, and thought that he was so unlucky that he was going to die on the battlefield, but when he looked down, he saw that although the arrow was hanging on his body, it only penetrated the outermost layer of armor, but the inner layer of armor was still intact and did not penetrate, and there was no pain on his body.

Those bastards in the Ministry of Industry didn't lie to Lao Tzu, the armor given to Lao Tzu is really a first-class product, which will save Lao Tzu's life, and when I go back, I will invite them to drink two glasses!

Immediately laughed and shouted loudly: "Turtle grandchildren, if you want to kill Lao Tzu, let's go to the next life!" ”

He immediately stretched out his hand and pulled out the arrow hanging on his body, threw it fiercely and stepped on it with his foot, and raised the steel knife in his hand and shouted: "Brothers, rush, kill them all, after rushing in, the silver is ours, the woman is ours, and everything is ours!" ”

At this time, Cai Erhu fully demonstrated his gangsterism as a bandit leader, and it was always inseparable from silver and women to encourage his subordinates to charge.

It's that the middle and low-level officers under his command are much more normal!

"Don't stop, hurry, hurry, rush up!"

The soldiers of the Datang New Army under the city are like a tide at this moment, hitting the city wall, and then spilling onto the city!

It didn't take long, that is, more than ten seconds, and finally a heavy armor sword and shield soldier of the Tang New Army climbed up to the city, but he didn't have time to look at the city head and the scenery in the city, that is, a Ming army waved a knife and slashed over, although he raised his knife to block the knife, but the huge impact made him stand unsteady when he just stood on the city, and the next moment he fell from the city.

There was a terrible scream in the air, and in the next moment, I saw him fall heavily on the ground under the city wall, and the huge impact even made a bang.

Looking closely, I saw that he was completely out of breath, his body was twitching slightly, and the junction between his head and neck was folded at an extremely distorted angle, and the soldier who rushed to the city first did not die under the enemy's sword, but died on the ground on his head when he fell!

But as soon as this soldier fell, the second, third, and even fifth and sixth soldiers of the Tang New Army also crossed the city together, and two more were killed because they did not have a stable foothold, but a few people blocked the fatal blow and survived.

And as long as they get a firm foothold, then the power of the hoplites can be brought into play!

Almost every one of the heavy armor and shield soldiers who climbed the city wall faced the siege of several Ming soldiers at the same time, but they only blocked and dodged the most threatening attacks, especially the stabbing of their spears, relying on the heavy armor on their bodies.

For the enemy's waist knife is comparable, they don't even care about it, and directly use their armor to make a hard pit, so that in a short period of time, there are many knife marks on their armor, which is also fortunate that the armor on their bodies is the best quality armor even among the heavy armor sword and shield soldiers, which can wait!

This group of heavy-armored sword and shield soldiers who took the lead in the city were basically the death squads in this group of troops who climbed the city, and they were selected from more than 10,000 people in the whole army, each of whom had good martial arts, and they were also equipped with the best quality armor and shields and waist knives!

The first batch of twenty or thirty heavy-armored sword and shield soldiers who landed in the city, and the equipment on their bodies was worth no less than a hundred taels of silver!

They are all tall and powerful, because of their abundant physical strength, they can choose to wear a heavy full-body armor, this kind of full-body armor is a kind of cotton iron armor, but than the ordinary sword and shield soldiers, spearmen cotton iron armor, the iron pieces in the interlayer are thicker, and the key parts are even steel plates.

At the same time, the helmet on the head is also attached to an iron mask, even the hands and feet are protected by armor!

This kind of full-body cotton iron armor is also a special product in the Datang Ministry of Industry, which was originally intended to be used to ration a large number of hand-to-hand combat troops, but even if this kind of armor is modified, the cost is also very large, and each set of this full-body armor costs more than sixty taels of silver, which is three times more expensive than ordinary iron armor!

In the end, dozens of sets were just made, and these dozens of sets of full-body armor were assigned to these most elite heavy-armored sword and shield soldiers and a small number of sword and shield men in the personal guard battalion.

In addition to the armor, the shield used by the more than thirty first batch of heavy armor sword and shield bearers in front of them is also the most sophisticated shield, and the waist knife in their hands is all an all-steel waist knife!

Such a complete set of equipment is worth no less than 100 taels of silver!

It is precisely because they are equipped with excellent equipment that they have the courage to use the armor on their bodies to resist the sword of the Ming army!

In front of him, a Ming soldier found that after he slashed it, he could only leave only a shallow trace on the opponent's armor, and he couldn't help but show despair!

These pseudo-Tang thief armies are covered in thick armor, how can this be killed!

However, the desperate expression on his face did not last long, because it was quickly replaced by the color of pain, and he felt a sharp pain coming from his lower back, and the strength in his body was running out rapidly!

Unable to stand, he stumbled and fell to the ground, and after falling, he happened to see a pseudo-Tang thief soldier who was also wearing heavy armor passing in front of his eyes, and his knife was still dripping blood on the ground!

The blood that dripped seems to be your own!
