Chapter 316: The Whole Country Resists the Enemy (9)

The walls of the city have been added several times, and now it is a large city with a wall height of three feet (more than eight meters).

But now it doesn't seem to be so high, the corpses are piled up on the side of the wall, the Ming army in order to push the ladder to the front of the city wall, and directly cover the corpse to build a road, and the outside of the city wall forms a large slope, swallowing the height of the city wall.

Nearly half of Yin Desheng's men and horses have been killed or wounded, and he himself is blocked on the slope and cannot advance or retreat. The enemy soldiers on the city walls on both sides kept shooting at them with firearms, and Yin Desheng felt more and more that his own people were like live targets on the execution ground.

"Ah......" Another soldier to Yin Desheng's left was hit by the firearm, and the weapon in the soldier's hand dropped off the slope, clutching his chest and screaming. A moment later, the cannon behind him roared like thunder, and a stone projectile fell from it, and the earth and rocks at the head of the city were splashed, which was very terrifying.

The roar of guns and cannons and the sound of people were all in one place, and in the foggy air, the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke and blood, as well as the smell of sweat, gold juice (boiling dung), and the filth of the dead and incontinence. Yin Desheng only felt that it was difficult to breathe, and the feeling of wanting to retch and stuffiness filled his chest all the time.

Yin Baihu still had dozens of people, but he couldn't retreat, because another Ming army and horses below the slope were already blocked there, and they were about to climb up!

Yin Desheng suddenly remembered what Huang Zhong said when they first came up: Li Baihu in front of him was dead, his subordinates were killed and wounded, and Yin Baihu's people should be on board.

Aren't the people who are blocked under the slope now just like Yin Baihu before, who are here to fill in the position? Perhaps in the eyes of the general, his victorious men and horses are finished!

There was no military order to retreat if the attack was frustrated, and now Yin Desheng was blocked on the slope by friendly troops, and he could not advance in front and retreat in the rear; Even if they desperately squeeze it out, there is only one fate waiting for them: the crime of escaping!

Yin Desheng felt that his hands and feet were gradually cold.

From time to time, there was a scream from the brothers in front of the battlement, and people were constantly falling from the top of the slope and falling under the corners, and the piles of corpses were just one more. The fire guns on the walls on both sides were between a few and twenty paces away, constantly shooting from the side to kill the people on the slope, and the situation was simply miserable.

Just when Yin Desheng's head was "buzzing", a voice said loudly: "Yin Baihu, you have to work hard!" ”

Yin Desheng wiped the sweat on his face, and glared at it, and the person standing in front of him was Liu Laohan, the head of the small flag. Liu Laohan pointed to it with his finger and said, "The brother next door has attacked the city from the cloud ladder, we must seize the opportunity to go up, otherwise we will die sooner or later if we are here!" ”

Yin Desheng looked up, and sure enough, he saw knives and guns dancing on the wall on the left, and the melee made the firearms, bows, and crossbows on the left side also stopped. Yin Desheng picked up a shield from among the dead, took a breath, gritted his teeth and shouted, "Brothers, rush with me!" ”

Liu Laohan also echoed and shouted: "We have no way to retreat, if we want to live, go to the city!" ”

"Kill! Kill ......" all the soldiers desperately shouted out the last momentum, and the struggle for survival made everyone's courage like a return to the light.

The soldiers at the front of the slope desperately rushed to the battlement, and were instantly stabbed by the spears. One of the soldiers pressed his spear and shield to the edge of the wall, and the man flipped up, and was immediately stabbed in the face by an enemy soldier with a forked and sharpened bamboo pole, and the soldier's face immediately became bloody and fleshy, and he let out a scream that ripped his lungs.

There was a "thud", a string sound came from the noisy sound, and an arrow feather almost pierced into the head of the enemy soldier, who did not even scream, and fell on his back.

The Ming soldier who was poked in the face jumped hard while screaming, and the person turned over directly! But immediately he was surrounded by many Annan soldiers and soldiers, and they were stabbed in a mess. At this time, the two Ming soldiers with guns and shields turned over again.

Yin Desheng saw an emptiness, stretched out the wall battlement with a Yanling knife and shield in his hand, and held the wall battlement with his arm, he also quickly turned over, and immediately turned around and shouted: "Brothers, kill!" ”

After shouting, Yin Desheng immediately turned around and prepared to fight. I saw a soldier in front of him whose shoulder armor had been deformed, and an arrow stuck in his shoulder, and only a knife in his right hand was screaming and rushing at the enemy soldier; He didn't hide from his sword or gun, but only rushed close to an enemy soldier and slashed at someone, and he himself was quickly stabbed and knocked to the ground.

The head of the slope wall was slightly lost, and more Ming soldiers took advantage of the situation. The chaotic Annan soldiers were defeated and fled to the right side one after another. On the right is the east side, and the castle tower is over there, and reinforcements from the Annam Army are coming! The Annan army here was routed, and almost all of them ran to the place where there were many people.

Although Yin Desheng is less than twenty years old, his father is a hundred households and understands what to do. He spotted the gap and immediately shouted, "Array! ”

At this time, more than half of his more than 100 people had been lost, and there were few generals left under his command, but fortunately, 100 households were alive, and all the soldiers obeyed his orders and reluctantly gathered into a phalanx. At this time, the other hundred households team behind also turned in from the slope here.

"Bang bang bang bang......" A firearm exploded on the city wall, and the arrows clanged on the shields and armor of the Ming army, and from time to time someone screamed and fell to the ground.

Yin Desheng took a tattered bloodstained military flag with the word "Ming" written on it from the hand of a military general, roared, and rushed towards the dense reinforcements of the Annan Army. The morale of the hundred households who had just entered the city was high, regardless of the confusion of the formation, they also shouted when they saw this, and then rushed forward.

The two armies soon engaged in close combat, and the enemy soldiers who had just finished their guns were immediately killed crying and crying for their mothers, and then the sound of weapons, shields, and armor crashing into each other was overwhelming. The crowd on both sides was very dense, and when they rushed together, the white swords and spears were waving messily, as if the water surface of the big net was just about to come out of the water, and countless fish and shrimp were jumping in a hurry.

Yin Desheng clenched the military flag in his hand and shouted to boost morale: "Brothers kill the enemy bravely, millions of soldiers in the city are watching, and the world will praise ......"

But at this time, the air was gray and full of smoke, and the people and horses outside the city were busy rushing up desperately, and no one cared about anyone.

When Yin Desheng gasped, he glanced at the city and was dumbfounded. On the two avenues of the north and south, countless war elephants are slowly surging towards the south of the city. On either side there were also hordes of infantry, swords and spears erected like woods, and elephants chirping one after another, like trumpets in the sound of cannons.

The density of the enemy soldiers in Duobang City is not necessarily less than the number of Ming troops besieging the city!

…… The road on the city wall is quite wide, and there are at least two carriages in parallel. The two armies were crowded together in battle, and the Ming army soon gained the upper hand and continued to advance to the east.

However, at the passage of the upper wall in the city, the Annan army had already taken precautions, and they brought in many repulsive rifles made of sharpened bamboo, and deployed seven or eight dense obstacles, and the crowds of enemy soldiers were behind the obstacles, taking turns to shoot at the city wall.

The Ming army was blocked from attacking the city, and fired with bows and crossbows on the wall, and later even artillery such as bowls and mouths were brought up, and the artillery roared on the wall, and the smoke was even greater.

The scuffle above has spread to the south gate tower, and half of the city wall in the south of Duobang City has been occupied by the Ming army. The scuffle in the tower was even more tragic, and the stairs to the upper city were very narrow, but the reinforcements of the Annan army rushed up one after another...... Like the Ming army on the slope of the base, they didn't want to rush forward bravely, but the retreat route had already been blocked by the crowd behind them, and they couldn't even squeeze back.

The corpses at the entrance of the stairs are piled up, and the openings are almost blocked. At this moment, a bowl was facing the exit, and suddenly there was a loud "boom", and the fire flashed in the city tower, and white smoke immediately spread throughout the city tower. On the stairs below, the crying and screaming were like hell on earth. Inside the tower, there was a sound of coughing and scolding.

"Knock, knock......" The castle tower trembled with a loud noise.

After the gate was defenced by the defenders on the tower, a huge rushing cart reached the gate. Countless people shouted and shouted, rushing to the car, a hundred-year-old tree trunk transported from the West Mountain, hitting the city gate again and again.

Outside the city tower, there is a brick and stone slope passage from the city to the wall, and a group of Ming soldiers surrounded eight big men and carried a Hongwu cannon to the top of the passage. "Ahh A big man's body stiffened, and a wisp of blood splattered on his chest. Immediately, a soldier next to him stepped forward, put his hands on the flat pole, and moved his shoulders over.

The soldiers hurriedly carried the gun carriage up, and put sacks filled with sand and stones to stabilize the gun carriage. The Hongwu cannon was slowly placed on the gun carriage.

The enemy soldiers below shouted in a panic while setting fire to the guns, and the Annam army also had all kinds of firearms, so of course they recognized what it meant for such a large cannon to be held against their faces.

The lead squeaked, a wisp of green smoke rose from the city, and the huge cannon muzzle of the black hole pointed diagonally downward, and the enemy soldiers below began to run wildly.

"Boom!" A loud bang shook the masonry on the ground cracked, the smoke rose from the ground and continued to impact the surroundings, the flames erupted from the muzzle, the compacted fine soil flew out of the flames and splashed in all directions, and an iron bullet of hundreds of catties roared and swept away. The rejecting rifle on the stone steps was splashed with bamboo chips, and the iron bullets crashed straight into the crowd, screaming from below, and the black cannonballs jumped into the air and fell into the dense crowd again.

"Kill! Kill ......" In the white smoke, countless figures with knives and guns rushed out of the smoke.

The Ming army successively captured the city walls, and the situation in the southern city was like a burst of embankment, and there were troops everywhere. The flames of artillery and firecrackers flickered everywhere, and bursts of white smoke rose into the air.

In the sound of huge wooden rubbing, the south gate slowly opened. Countless Ming army cavalry began to advance directly towards the city gate.

On the street in front, groups of war elephants and countless infantry of the Annan army were also marching towards the city gate. The Annan army dispatched a lot of men and horses, and in order to counterattack, thousands of troops seemed to be able to fill all the roads. The Great War is not over yet.
