Chapter 6 The Siege of the Golden Soldiers

"What! Where to siege the city? Mo Li was taken aback.

"General, the Tartars are attacking the North Gate." Zhou Lianying said.

"Oh, send someone to report to General He, go quickly!" Mo Li said, thought for a while and said, "Guan Feng, Lian Ying, you come with me to take a look!" ā€

"General, wait for me!" Mo Li had just walked out a few steps when Lin Guo rushed out of the house and muttered, "You said you would take me to kill the Tartars!" Don't talk doesn't count. ā€

"Ahem, this, Lin Guo, you stay and supervise the craftsmen to make grenades, I'm just going to take a look." Moli said.

"General, you lied to people, you are clearly going to kill the Tartars, why did you leave me?" Lin Guo said unhappily.

"It's our man's business to kill Tartars and fight, you ......" Mo Li wanted to say what kind of fun you little girl was doing, but suddenly remembered that she was now a woman disguised as a man, so he stopped talking.

"What's wrong with me? I—I'm a man, too! Besides, I'm your own soldier now, how can I hide in the rear if you go to war? Lin Guo said dissatisfiedly.

"Okay, okay, you hurry up and take your weapons and set off together!" Mo Li couldn't stand it a little, although he knew that she was a girl, but he couldn't say it explicitly, as if he couldn't find any reason to stop her from participating in the battle, but fortunately, this time it was just a city defense battle, and there was no need to engage the enemy in close combat, so there might not be any accidents.

A group of people hurried to the north city gate, climbed the city tower to look, Mo Li was really shocked, only to see a large area of Houjin Tartar cavalry surging over like a tide, on the horseback with a bow and arrows, a burst of arrows like raindrops flew towards the city wall, from time to time there were Ming army arrows fell, the rest of the Ming army was so frightened that they shrank behind the wall battlements and did not dare to show their heads.

The Ming army installed more than ten iron cannons on the city wall, including two Hongyi cannons, which were angrily spitting projectiles at the moment, and vented into the Tartar array with the flames of revenge. However, the cavalry of the Houjin soldiers was extremely fast, roaring through the barrage of the Ming army, rushing to the city and firing arrows one after another, killing many Ming gunners, which greatly hindered the frequency of the Ming army's artillery.

The Jin soldiers who rushed to the city began to climb the city wall with a ladder and a shield, while the Ming soldiers smashed the rolling wood and stones to the Tartar soldiers under the city under the command of the defending generals. The long-range cover of the Jin archers' arrows rained down made the Ming army begin to show some signs of defeat. There were several large iron pots on the top of the city, boiling oil, but not hot enough.

In addition, a team of golden soldiers dragged a thick log with more than ten war horses and began to hit the city gate, and every time they hit, there was a huge sound, and the city gate also trembled. Due to the angle problem, the iron cannon at the head of the city could not hit here, and these Tartar cavalry were also individually armoured, and the Ming army's arquebus accuracy and penetration were also limited, so it was basically difficult to cause much damage to them.

As soon as Mo Li reached the top of the city, a long arrow burst through the air and shot against Mo Li's left shoulder, scaring him into a cold sweat. Mo Li hurriedly pressed Lin Guo to the corner of the city tower and shouted, "Guo'er, it's dangerous here!" Go down! ā€

Lin Guo said loudly: "No, I want to protect you!" ā€

"It's good that you can protect yourself! In case you have a bad one, how can you avenge your father and your brother and sister-in-law? Moli said.

"I'm not leaving! I'm going to stay here and kill the Tartars! Lin Guo said stubbornly.

"You...... Well, you have to be careful! The Tartar's bow and arrow are powerful! Company battalion, bring my musket! Moli shouted.

The north gate is the defense area that Zhang Cunren is responsible for guarding, and at this time Zhang Cunren is standing on the city tower and directing his subordinates to defend and counterattack.

Although there are a lot of artillery guns of the Ming army, because they are made of solid iron projectiles, the accurate head is available, but the actual lethality is not large, and the barrel is difficult to cool down, and it will become very hot after a few shells, and it must be cooled with cold water, otherwise it is easy to blow up and hurt itself.

Therefore, the speed of the Ming army's artillery is not fast, and the threat to the Jin army is not very large, and the archers of the Jin army can keep throwing arrows at the head of the city, and round after round of arrows rain down, and the Ming army is very seriously wounded. However, fortunately, there are many people in Jinzhou City, and the prefect of Jinzhou Prefecture at this time has organized thousands of strong men and women to carry rolling wood and stones, rescue wounded soldiers, etc., and they are very busy.

Hidden in a corner on the castle tower, Mo Li was condescending, holding his modified arquebus, aiming at the climbing golden soldiers below the city and firing continuously. Lin Guo squatted beside him and filled him with small ammunition bags wrapped in oiled paper into the chamber of the gun.

Mo Li can be said to be a master of playing guns in his previous life, although he is not playing the regular firearms of the army, but it is the hunting rifle of the Orion hunt that is closer to the arquebus of this era, if you played AK47 or something in your previous life or a high-end sniper rifle or something, you may not be able to play this arquebus again, so Mo Liduan is to make it handy, as a bullet is fired, one by one Tartar soldiers screamed and fell down the ladder.

"Master Mo, you're so amazing! You've shot so well! If only I could play as accurately as you do! Lin Guo said enviously and annoyedly. In the past two days, Mo Li has taught her how to use the arquebus, how to shoot more accurately and faster, but she used to hunt with bows and arrows or iron forks, and has never used a gun, so of course it is impossible to master the essentials of using the arquebus for a while.

"What is this, Guo'er, you will be able to play very accurately after practicing hard." Mo Li calmed down his thoughts about shooting and killing for the first time, and smiled, "By the way, your bow and arrow are also very good!" ā€

"Be careful, sir!" Lin Guo suddenly screamed, the short knife in his hand swung out violently, only to hear a ding, a feather arrow was knocked away by Lin Guo's short knife, and almost hit Mo Li.

"the girl!" Mo Li roared angrily, and took his arquebus and aimed it at the Tatar cavalry in the distance below the city who had fired cold arrows at him. It's a pity that the arquebus has a limited range, and when the projectile is still more than ten meters away from the tartar, it begins to deviate from the target and does not hit.

"!" Mo Li scolded in annoyance. Cheap this brute.

Lin Guo picked up the bow and arrow he was carrying, mounted a long arrow, drew the bow, and with a whoosh, aimed at the Tartar cavalry who almost shot Moli, hitting the man in the chest, and fell off his horse.

"Good! Fruit, well done! Mo Li couldn't help but cheer. Hot weapons are not as good as cold weapons, and Mo Li is also drunk, but anyway, Lin Guo also helped him avenge an arrow, which made him breathe a sigh of evil.

In this way, Mo Li and Lin Guo covered each other, one with an arquebus, and the other with a cavalry longbow, shooting the siege Tartars fiercely.

At this time, a few iron pots at the head of the city had already burned the oil to the bumpy, and Zhang Cunren, Mo Li and others commanded the soldiers to pour the hot oil on the heads of the Tartar soldiers who kept climbing the ladder under the city. Although the siege of the city Tartars each held shields, but the hot oil poured down always had a lot of body parts burned, because the shield could not protect the whole body, many Tartar soldiers screamed and fell, the ladder was stained with hot oil, it was even more slippery and difficult to stand, and the offensive of the Jin army was also stagnant.

However, after all, there was not much hot oil, and it took a long time to boil, so it was difficult to take care of every city wall, and the Jin army attacked like crazy, and the long arrows of the archers who pressed the formation fell more densely on the city. On one of the ladders, a Tartar general in white armor wielded a glittering machete and knocked down the logs and boulders smashed down from time to time on the city's head, and under the cover of the archers, he actually rushed up to the city wall, and one hand had already landed on the battlements beside Lin Guo.

Mo Li was directing the soldiers to use the newly made grenades to deal with the Tartars under the city, and the Ming soldiers next to Lin Guo were shot by the Tartars Four or five, and the other two or three soldiers saw that the Tartars had attacked the city wall, and hurriedly stepped forward to meet them, wanting to kill the Tartars off the city wall.

Who knew that this Tartar general was none other than Aobai, who was known for his bravery, although he was still unknown at this time, but the battle was quite brave, I saw him borrow his strength, jumped on the city, and killed the two or three Ming soldiers in only two or three rounds, and at the same time the soldiers behind him also jumped on the city, raising their knives and cutting at Lin Guo.

"Ahh Lin Guo screamed, stunned.
