Chapter 032: Let's Move Bricks Together
When the first notch is opened, it is much easier to open the second notch, and as the hammer continues to hit, more and more holes appear in the thin brick wall.
"Throw a thunderbolt! Throw a thunderball! Hurry up, throw more! "Under the city wall, Ma Du can still hear Zhu Wenzheng's roar, is this bastard afraid that the city wall will not collapse fast enough?
Boom Boom Boom ...... A continuous explosion rang out inside the open gap. I don't know how many waves of shock air are formed in this narrow space.
Rumble! Crash! The city wall more than ten zhang wide finally collapsed and fell into the city, looking at the direction of the collapse, you can know that Zhu Wenzheng did not help the Han army.
Naturally, there was a mess in the huge gap, and I don't know how many mutilated corpses there were, and it was said that the battering ram that could withstand the rolling wood thunder stone had long since fallen apart, leaving only a large wooden mallet wrapped in iron sheets.
The smoke and dust dissipated, without the barrier of the city wall, it became close, and the clothing, weapons and even expressions of the Han army were clearly visible, from astonishment to surprise, at this moment, without anyone's order, they had already raised their weapons, along the steep slope paved with bricks and stones, into the road opened with flesh and blood.
I don't know if Chen Youliang is a promise of "the first to enter the city to reward a thousand gold and seal ten thousand households", when the first soldier jumped off the ruins, Ma Du clearly saw that his expression was so happy and happy, and it seemed that the whole person was sublimated.
And then...... There was no more, the smiling face turned into a cloud of blood mist with a violent bang, and the head and neck disappeared, and at the same time, Ma Du clearly saw that the chest of the Han soldier behind him was instantly torn out of a fist-sized blood hole.
Of course, it was not only these two people who were injured, the Han soldiers who rushed to the front were almost torn apart, blood splattered and blood mist filled, and the entire charging team was stuck.
"A battalion of fire dragon guns are released!" Deng Yu roared loudly, followed by a series of explosions like fried beans.
Madu glanced at it, this kind of firearm is very simple, it is a straight stick with a tube fixed to it, loaded with ammunition and medicine twist, one person holds a wooden stick and points it at the enemy, and the other person ignishes it.
If Mado's prediction is correct, it should be a one-eyed musket, but it is strange how they made the seamless steel tube.
Although this fire dragon spear is not as powerful as the gun, it is not small in lethality when it hits people, it is just a small hole in the chest, but the back is a bloody hole with the thickness of an arm.
"It's buckshot." Madu couldn't help muttering, can hit this kind of dum bullet effect, this era can only be lead bullet.
Deng Yu said: "Oh, Mr. is an expert. Listen to the order, the second battalion is open, put! ”
Boom Boom Boom ...... The crowd of the Han army once again rose in a blood mist, very dense, and Ma Du realized that this time their guns were not only filled with large iron bullets, but also many small lead bullets, and at such a close distance, they should indeed use scattered bullets.
Madu had thought that these primitive firearms were limited in power, but now they seemed to be more powerful than the improvised grenades he designed, and even more powerful was the suffocating sensation of the bloody and cruel blood.
"Second battalion, dragon lance...... No need to shoot. ”
The three rounds of bursts, coupled with the improvised grenades constantly thrown from the top of the city, actually made the Han army, which was like a wolf and a tiger just now, retreat like a tide. There were sporadic Han troops who rushed into the city, and they were also quickly killed by other soldiers.
"That's it!" Ma Du asked in surprise.
Deng Yu shook his head, "This is just the beginning, they will soon be forced to make a comeback by their own swords and arrows." But there's nothing to be afraid of, if you can fight back once, you can fight back ten times. ”
"Why didn't Deng Shenzheng take out the firearms and use them earlier, otherwise the defense of the city would not have been so hard."
Zhu Wenying turned around and said dissatisfiedly: "Deng Shuai originally planned to stay and kill, waiting for the opportunity to go out of the city and let the firearms battalion fill Chen Youliang with a pot, who would have thought that the city wall would collapse." You talk a lot, hurry up, it's too dangerous here, if you have a good one, I can't explain it to my mother. ”
Surrounded by 600,000 people, he still wanted to go out of the city to fight, and he was the sixth ranked general in the world, and what surprised Ma Du the most was that Deng Yu still knew how to attack in batches to maintain continuous firepower.
He divided the firearms battalion into three groups, and each group fired the guns and dragon guns separately, and the soldiers who operated the guns would crouch down to reload their ammunition after firing, followed by the dragon guns in the back.
This is done in order to save space and to extend the time it takes to reload ammunition. Although it is said to be divided into six shots, its essence is still three shots.
The main reason is that the firearms are not mature enough and the loading is too slow, and twenty years later, when Mu Ying conquered Yunnan, he used a three-stage attack similar to the European semi-swing tactics.
Ma Du tied Deng Yu with a bandage, "Deng participated in politics, and I will deal with your injuries for you." But you must not use this arm too hard, just hang it on your chest and don't take it off. If you have blood or fever, be sure to call me immediately. ”
"Good!" Deng Yu looked at Han Jun coming up again, "You hurry up and leave here, I don't know what tricks Chen Youliang will play." ”
Zhu Wenying held a shield and escorted Ma Du out of the battle circle, "You hurry back, I'm here to accompany Deng Shuai to defend the city." He lowered his voice again, "Once you can't hold it, you can quickly flee to Yingtian." ”
"Oh." In fact, Ma Du wanted to tell Zhu Wenying that Hong could hold it, but now that even the city wall has collapsed, he is also unsure in his heart.
He, a person who can predict the future, is so uneasy, and he doesn't know what kind of torment Zhu Wenzheng and Deng Yu are suffering from having no score in their hearts and having a heavy responsibility.
Ma Du wanted to do something to make himself feel at ease, but he felt that when the manpower was poor, he seemed so small in the face of 600,000 people. That's right, I'm just a mortal, and I won't become invincible or great because of crossing. Your little wings may be able to change a domain for a while, but in the face of the rolling wheel of history, you will be crushed.
"My lord, my lord, sir......" Ma Du walked back in despair, and heard someone shouting for him to follow the prestige, and saw Zhang Wuliu and Lao Liu pushing a trolley to meet him, and the cart was full of green bricks.
Ma Du asked curiously, "What are you doing here?" ”
Lao Liu said: "Didn't you say that the city wall collapsed, let us build the wall, this is all left over from last year, let us transport it." Can you still take it over there? ”
Ma Du noticed that there were a lot of people pushing green bricks to Fuzhou Gate on the street, most of them were auxiliaries and servants, and he said to Lao Liu: "You must be able to hold it, don't worry, you can go quickly." I don't know if I'm comforting Lao Liu or myself.
Zhang Wuliu asked, "Aren't you going, my lord?" ”
"I don't know how to build walls." “
"Oh, then you can move bricks! That's interesting! “
You kid I'm stupid, what's the point of moving bricks? It was one of the hardest jobs in later life, especially in the summer, and the only thing I was glad about was that the pay was good, but no one should pay me here.
"Don't go! I'll go back to the wounded barracks! ”
"The wounded soldiers who can move have gone to move the bricks, let's go, let's go together! Come on, come to the car, Lao Liu and I will push you! ”
