Chapter 318 The Attack is in full swing
Ahha, who was still outside the city of Dalinghe, and the Houjin soldiers who were supervising straightened up and looked at Dalinghe, and were shocked to find that two flying things flying in the sky, with a big balloon on the top and a hanging basket below, were slowly approaching them.
In the face of such an object that is beyond his own knowledge, fear occupies the hearts of almost every Houjin soldier and Ahala.
Many people have dry mouths and tongues, their hearts are beating faster, their legs and stomachs are turning tendons, and some people have bursts of coolness in their hearts, and an uncontrollable urge to urinate is surging.
No one knows what kind of thunder this flying creature will be if it attacks.
"My mother, alas, run."
It doesn't matter who shouted this sentence anymore, because it says all the heart.
I can't afford to mess with it, only to run his mother.
The Han Aha, who was still collecting in the west and north of the city to prepare for cooking and boiling water in the military camp, and the Jurchen soldiers who supervised them ran to their own military camps without a price.
Although there are not many hot air balloons, only two, but after the emergence of new things, people's fear of this unknown makes them use their most rich imagination to imagine that this hot air balloon has extraordinary destructive power and lethality.
Ke Zhihong, who was standing on the hot air balloon, looked at Jiannu who was running away in embarrassment, and said to his deputy with a smile: "We are really majestic enough, as soon as we came out, we were scared to run away from Jiannu." ”
"Ke Ye, these are all Jiannu miscellaneous soldiers, and their courage can't be compared with the regular soldiers, it's not strange to run away when they see us." The deputy replied with a smile.
"You're right, when we first tried to fly a hot air balloon, we didn't scare the people of our town Beibao enough. Later, they saw us a few times, and they were no longer afraid. Hey, whatever, fly straight to the camp of Jiannu, find a tent and throw 10,000 enemies, and then go back and come back in the afternoon. Ke Zhihong said with a smile.
"Yes, Master Ke." When the deputy received the order, he adjusted the fire of the stove, and let the hot air balloon move in a wavy line, up and down, gradually approaching the red flag barracks surrounded in the west.
Another hot air balloon was approaching the yellow flag barracks enclosed in the north.
***
"Oh no, the flying thing of the Ming army has been killed, run."
"The Southern Dynasty has sent a divine soldier from the sky, run."
The Ahabs screamed all the way straight to their barracks, as if the end of the world was coming.
The words shouted by the Aha people were wild, and even the Jurchen bannermen and armored men in the camp who did not know the truth were slightly affected, and the morale of the army was a little fluctuating.
Beile Yuetuo, who was guarding the camp with red flags, heard the noise outside the camp, how could he still sit still, he immediately mounted his horse, took his own flag to protect the army, and rushed outside the camp.
He threw a horsewhip at the first one of the Ahabs, and only the leader who ran away and shouted covered his cheeks with his hands and wailed.
"What's the noise?" Yue Tuoyuan's eyes widened, and he asked angrily about the few Ahabs who ran at the front.
"Back to Lord Belle, the flying things of the Southern Dynasty are flying in the sky, rushing to kill us, we are afraid that it will have thunder means, so we will run back." An Aha hissed back with a look of horror on his face.
The rest of Ahha, who was running by himself, saw Yue standing outside the camp and didn't dare to run anymore no matter what, they all knelt on the ground in unison, and they didn't even dare to come out.
At this time, they felt that Yue Tuo was more dangerous than the Ming army artifacts flying in the sky.
"Thunder Means!" Yue Tuo sneered.
"The cannon can still be magnified on the hanging basket, and what thunder means can a mere flying thing have. Ben Baylor is going to let you know right now what a real thunderbolt is. ”
After Yue Tuo finished speaking, he shouted to the guards beside him: "Behead these leading Ahas." ”
"Pierce."
When the guards received the order, they turned over and dismounted, and went straight to pick up the Aha who were running in the front.
After running a few steps and shouting a few times, he was about to throw away his life, which was really wronged.
"Lord Belle spares his life, and the minions don't dare to run anymore."
"Lord Belle spares his life."
The sound of begging for mercy was endless, but Yue dragged it like a mountain, his face was cold, and he was not moved at all.
After a while, several screams rang out.
The guards came with the heads of the fleeing Ahabs.
"Wait and remember, if you encounter enemy soldiers again, you can go back to the camp, but you can't make noise and disturb the hearts of our army, can you hear it clearly?" Yue Tuo majestically glanced at Aha who was prostrate in front of him, and asked in a cold voice.
"Za, the minions have written it down." All the Ahabs replied in unison.
"Go back and get buckets ready to put out the fire."
Yue Tuo is a person from the upper class of the Later Jin Dynasty, and he has seen a little bit of the world, and knows that this hot air balloon is just a new weapon of the Southern Dynasties, but it just breaks common sense and can fly in the sky.
The volume of the hot air balloon is not large, if you want to attack your own camp, at most throw 10,000 enemies, this thing is not the kind of firearm that will explode at the first touch, as long as you see the way to come, you can dodge, just the trouble of fighting fires.
In fact, speaking of which, Yue Tuo was only worried that the Jingbianbao army would ignite the grain and grass, because the Ming army was strong and clear, and the Houjin could not get half a grain of grain from the left side of the Daling River, and the grain could only be shipped from the Houjin mainland, and it was a pity that it was burned, as for the others, if they were burned, it would be a bit of a pity, but compared with the grain, it was nothing.
Thinking about this, Yue Tuo organized his men and prepared to defend against the air raids of the Jingbian Fort Army.
In addition, he also sent people to report to Huang Taiji and reported the movements of the Ming army to his own Great Khan.
The same scene also appeared in the camp with yellow flags, except that it was Bel Abatai who presided over the defense against the air raids of the Jingbian Fort army.
Yue Tuo and Abatai were in full array, but the speed of the hot air balloon was really slow, and it had not yet flown over the Houjin camp after flying for a long time, but it was the chariot of the Jingbian Fort Army that caught fire with Houjin first.
At the same time as the hot air balloon troops of the Jingbian Fort Army attacked, the gates of the Dalinghe City were opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and Liu Renyu first sent all the chariots outside the city.
The logistics baggage troops under He Ergou were responsible for erecting iron-clad wooden planks on the trenches for the passage of chariots.
After the iron-clad wooden planks were erected, Liu Renyu lined up his chariots along the trench, and the cannons were facing the direction of the Houjin camp.
Later, Liu Renyu sent 10 chariots, divided into two groups, each group of 5 chariots, carrying a total of 20 medium-sized Fur aircraft, in addition to these artillerymen, Liu Renyu also equipped each chariot with an additional team of archers and firecrackers, in order to deal with the Houjin soldiers who came out to fight back.
Equipped with long-range attack and close defense, the task of the charioteers of the Jingbianbao Army was to go out of the city to bombard the Houjin camp and harass them.
These two groups of chariots went out to attack, and the Hongyi cannon gunners in the city were on full alert, and the charioteers of the Jingbianbao army under the city were ready to respond at any time.
At this time, outside the city of Dalinghe, there were no more people from the Houjin side in the open space between the Ming army and the Houjin camp, and all the Houjin soldiers had retreated into the trenches and camps.
The charioteers of the Jingbianbao Army were given the order to shoot freely, strike at the Houjin barracks, and return after firing sixty percent of the ammunition.
When the charioteers received the order, they let the chariots run to two miles away from the earthen wall built by Houjin, lined up, and fired artillery bombardment at the earthen wall.
"Knock, knock, knock, knock."
The round iron projectile was pushed out and slammed into the earthen wall made of Houjin at a very high speed.
After all, the earthen wall is not made of reinforced concrete, and its ability to resist blows is really slag.
The Jingbian Fort army fired out a burst of artillery fire, and immediately collapsed many earthen walls.
Some of the Houjin soldiers on duty at the earthen wall were buried in the collapsed earthen wall, and some were directly hit by spherical iron bullets, and they were beaten with missing arms and legs, broken bones and tendons, and suffered heavy casualties.
At this time, all the cannons of the Houjin have been transported to Jinzhou Avenue, ready to be used to block the reinforcements coming from the direction of Jinzhou, and there is not a single cannon on the side of the Daling River, which means that the Houjin side has no countermeasures to resist the shelling of the Jingbianbao army.
At this point, the Houjin soldiers had to attack, because they were shelled while squatting in the fortifications, which really damaged the prestige of the world's strongest army.
"Strike, kill them back." The Houjin generals, who were guarding the front line, felt that it hurt their self-esteem to be beaten like this, so they immediately decided to lead their troops to attack.
The mobilization and assembly of troops was a key time, and the artillery of the Jingbian Fort Army had already run out of sixty percent of the ammunition.
"Kill the dog." The Houjin soldiers, who had finally been assembled, rode out of their own camp on horseback.
"Jiannu is here, retreat quickly."
The chariot of the Jingbianbao army that attacked quickly adjusted its direction, turned the head of the carriage, and rushed towards Dalinghe City.
The gunner in the chariot quickly reversed the direction of one of the furlans, and the muzzle of the cannon protruded from the rear of the car, and another shelling was fired at the pursuing Houjin cavalry.
The projectiles were shot out at a rapid pace, and although most of them didn't know where they flew, there were occasionally one or two shells that could hit the Houjin cavalry.
The Houjin cavalry, however, was hit by a cannon projectile, and all of them were immediately shattered.
When the depressed Houjin soldiers rushed to the second trench outside the city of Dalinghe, the Hongyi cannons on the head of the city began to spread a rain of bullets, and the Jingbianbao army chariots on the side of the trench also sent cannonballs to warmly welcome the visiting Houjin soldiers.
On the city, the artillery of the Ming army under the city intertwined a terrifying cannon fire net, enveloping the attacking Houjin soldiers inside.
