Chapter 556: Take Yuncheng

In the wilderness, the cannon rumbled and bombarded the enemy platform on the city, the rubble exploded, and the defenders of the city fell down to the city with a scream.

At the same time as the artillery bombardment, a loud horn sounded in the military formation, and the neat military formation was like a dam opening to discharge floodwater, and the soldiers flocked to Yuncheng.

In the face of the roar of artillery under the city, raising clouds of white smoke, the Wei Wu army all over the mountains rushed over, the hand army in the city couldn't help but be a little timid, but on the battlefield either you die or I die, I'm afraid it's useless, the defenders can only stretch their bows and arrows, nervously looking for the target.

The Qing soldiers scolded secretly while defending the city, and they didn't know who was scolding the Wei Wujun who was besieging the city.

At this time, the Wei Wu army under the city was already holding the equipment and pushed to the city under the blockage of artillery and arrows on the city.

The first to arrive was a row of shield carts, along with nearly a thousand musketeers, and thousands of archers.

Wei Wujun attached great importance to firearms, but due to the limitation of productivity, the output of guns and artillery was relatively limited, and it could not meet the equipment of the 200,000 army. Therefore, Wei Wujun, with a large number of soldiers, still used the original weapons and had a large number of bows and arrows.

At this time, the firecrackers were behind the shield cart, and the guns suppressed the head of the city, and the guns made the Qing army dare not raise their heads, and the archers lined up in several columns, pulling the bows and arrows around the city, and the arrows pointed obliquely at the sky, throwing locust-like arrows up the city.

After several sieges, there were only more than 3,000 defenders left in the city, and the Wei Wu army was on the side of the Shun Department together, attacking with ten times the troops, and under the city wall, there were dense figures.

Jin Shenghuan was well prepared, and the shield chariot formed a wooden wall under the city, and the archers and firecrackers who were several times larger than the head of the city suppressed the head of the city.

This made the defenders at the head of the city could only hide behind the battlements and shoot, and the firepower could not compete with the Wei Wu army at all.

At this time, the soldiers carrying the flying bridge spread wooden planks on the moat, and the soldiers with instruments began to approach the city wall.

The first to arrive at the city were the soldiers of the Shun system who carried the ladder to the city, which was light and simple to manufacture, and was the most commonly used equipment in the siege.

"Up!" Hao Shaoqi commanded nearly 1,000 siege troops and took the lead in rushing to the city.

The soldiers raised the ladder high above the top of the city, and then lowered it, and the large iron hook at the head of the ladder hooked the wall so that the defenders could not knock it down.

As soon as the ladder was fixed, the soldiers under the city climbed up quickly, and the soldiers who rushed to the city were scattered like ants, and the defenders at the head of the city could only brave arrows and projectiles to smash down the rolling stones.

During a siege, once the besieging troops approach the city walls, or climb along the walls, they will enter the dead end of the city's defenders.

Because the defenders wanted to attack the soldiers in the corner, they had to lean out of the battlements, so that they were exposed to the mouth of the fire guns under the city.

The key to defending the city was not to allow the enemy to approach the walls, as the casualties of the defenders would immediately increase once they approached the walls.

The city wall of Yuncheng has been renovated, and there are many raised enemy platforms on the wall, and the enemy platform extends from the main body of the city wall, so the defenders on the enemy platform can attack the Wei Wu army who climbed the city from the shooting holes in the wall battlements.

The defenders hid behind the battlements of the enemy platform, and kept shooting the soldiers who climbed the city, and the soldiers had no defense behind their backs, and became a live target.

When Hao Shaoqi saw the soldiers on the ladder falling, he couldn't help but be furious, and shouted urgently, "Siege tower, up!" ”

The speed of the large equipment was relatively slow, and dozens of soldiers hugged a siege tower, close to the enemy platform.

The defenders of the city immediately resisted with long poles, and the earth-shattering thunder and fire pots smashed over, and the huge siege towers collapsed in the flames and explosions, and the soldiers below scattered like ants.

The archers under the city bent their bows and arrows, and the arrows fell on the city like locusts, and the defenders of the city also suffered heavy casualties.

Sun Long waved his sword to block while directing the defenders to defend the city.

"Bring the striker!" Seeing another siege tower approaching the city wall, Sun Long roared urgently, and a Qing soldier immediately turned around, and at this moment, a Wei Wujun jumped down from the city, slashed directly with a knife, and directly overturned the Qing soldier who turned around, killing him on the spot.

Seeing this, Sun Long hurriedly stabbed and put down the Wei Wujun again, but at this time, Wei Wujun jumped into the city again.

At this time, a siege tower was already close to the city wall, and the siege tower was not like a siege ladder, but the ladder inside it was surrounded by wooden planks and cowhides, like a moving tower.

The arrows on the enemy platform could not hurt the soldiers inside at all, so that the soldiers in the tower did not have to worry about the defenders on the enemy platform firing arrows and guns from behind.

Seeing this, Hao Shaoqi directly drilled into the siege tower close to the city wall, as soon as the baffle at the top of the tower was opened, a fire pot was immediately smashed at the head of the city, and the wooden plank connecting the top of the tower and the city wall suddenly ignited a fire.

At this time, one of the defenders had just lit a sky-shaking thunder and wanted to throw it into the tower, but a sky-shaking thunder in the tower was the first to be thrown, blowing up the defenders at the head of the city.

Facing the crowd on the wooden board, Hao Shaoqi was not afraid, and he roared, "Kill!" Taking advantage of the explosion, he rushed out and jumped on the head of the city, and the soldiers behind him covered the burning planks with cowhides, and then rushed out and occupied a section of the city.

At this time, in all directions of Yuncheng, the tragic fighting was continuing, and the siege troops of the Wei Wu army, armed with various instruments and shields, launched waves of attacks, like huge waves on the sea, slapping the city wall wave after wave.

This attack on Yuncheng did not take any tricks, it was all hard work, relying on real strength to attack.

Among the many soldiers and horses in the world, the line is not bad, but the confidence has collapsed, and it must go through the baptism of war again to rebuild confidence.

At this time, under the city wall, there were paralyzed weapons on the offensive road everywhere, but the various units of the Shun army sent out waves of attacks, and the city must be broken today.

At the head of the city, Sun Long ran back and forth, commanding the Qing troops to block the Wei Wu army from entering the city, and suddenly there was a chaos on the city wall, and the shouts of killing resounded throughout the city.

"The enemy has occupied a section of the wall!" The expressions of some Qing army generals changed greatly.

Sun Long's face turned hideous in an instant, "Go and send reinforcements, and follow the general to beat the enemy soldiers out of the city!" ”

"The four cities are all tight, where are there any reinforcements!" The generals around him were full of panic.

At this time, the movement of a section of the city wall quickly affected the other Qing troops, and the exclamations were everywhere.

Outside the city, Jin Shenghuan has been paying attention to the progress of the Shun soldiers attacking the city. He saw that with the passage of time, there were soldiers on the broken city walls, and Liu Tichun's troops even occupied the northwest corner of the entire Yuncheng, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Go and report to the marshal, Yuncheng is broken!" A smile leaked from Jin Shenghuan's face.

The defenders of Yuncheng were insufficient, and the Shun army climbed the city wall in a big way, and the situation was irreversible.

As more and more soldiers climbed the city wall, the defense deteriorated rapidly, Hao Shaoqi slashed all the way to Sun Long, led a dense number of soldiers, and surrounded more than a dozen Qing troops in front of the city tower.

Sun Long leaned his back against the tower, more than a dozen Qing soldiers formed a formation to protect him, and in front of them, there was a semicircle of sharp spearheads.

Facing the sharp spearhead, the faces of the remaining Qing soldiers were full of panic, Sun Long's face was gloomy, and he suddenly shouted: "I was going to see Gao Yihuan!" ”

"See your mother's split, kill Lao Tzu!" In the forest of guns, Hao Shaoqi shouted loudly.

The surrounding soldiers immediately raised their spears and stabbed, stabbing Sun Long and the remaining Qing troops into holes in a moment, and blood gushed like a spring.
