Smoke of gunpowder rises, cannons sound and arrows fly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Looking down from the sky, outside the Xiwei Gate, there are full of black and pressed thieves, they are currently shielding cars, and the back of the car is full of dense thieves.

The air was full of arrows whistling up and down, some from outside the city to the inside of the city, and some from the head of the city to all parts of the city.

Generally speaking, there are slightly fewer arrows from the city head to the outside of the city, and at this time, it is only the dart division cavalry of the cavalry team such as Jiu Ye and Qian Sanniang, as well as dozens of archers arranged on the west gate to shoot arrows, the number of people is less than 100 people, compared to the nearly 1,000 thief archers outside, the density of arrows is indeed smaller.

At the same time, both sides were also projectiles, and the very thick sack baskets on this side of the west polder wall stretched the entire wall, and even all the battlements were tightly covered, leaving only some wooden planks separated by specially designed gun holes.

This kind of defense, not to mention bows and arrows, even firearms and artillery cannot penetrate it, so although the arrows outside are urgent, like torrential rain, they shoot directly and are blocked by sacks and earthen baskets. The projectile, the polder wall is so high, it flies high above everyone's heads, and it does not hurt the crowd at the head of the wall.

But for such a defense, it is not convenient for one's own side to shoot arrows, so they can only be thrown into the air.

The outer thieves are covered by a shield car and an earthen wall, and the density of arrows thrown is not large, so the damage to the outer thieves is very small.

The defense of the city head mainly relies on firearms to kill the enemy.

"Attention Yijia, aim at those two shield carts, shoot!"

The new captain of the first team roared, and the ten soldiers of the first team in charge of the battlements on this side opened fire together.

The fire guns rang out in unison, billowing smoke spewed out of the wall of this section, and the two shield carts that were pushing more than twenty paces away were smashed to pieces, but the two shield carts only stopped slightly, and continued to push rapidly, but the breech Xin'an guns could not penetrate their shield carts as thick as twenty inches.

The flames of the city tower were raging, the sound of the soldiers fighting the fire continued, and the city tower on the west polder gate was completely destroyed by two rogue shelling.

Fortunately, in addition to this place, the rest of the walls were protected by sacks and earthen baskets, and the wounds suffered were not great, and the soldiers hid behind and were not harmed.

Yang He stood not far from the burning tower, frowning, at this time, the two hundred soldiers of the first and second were hidden behind their respective shooting holes, because the rogues pushed the shield carts in front and back, their firing was the responsibility of the captains of each section, and the salvo of one team or one armor.

It's just that the shield car of the Liukou is too thick, twenty inches, and you must know that the excellent shield car of the Qing army is only eight inches thick.

At this thickness, the fire gun is ineffective, and his new gun is ten steps to shoot, and he can only penetrate seven or eight inches, which is still far behind.

He thought that there was still artillery, even the No. 3 little wolf machine, and no kind of shield car could stop it.

At present, there are still fewer artillery pieces, only five, so after destroying seven or eight shield carts in a short period of time, the remaining shield carts are still desperately pushing.

In particular, the shield carts facing the polder gate ran the fastest, and there were five trench carts, which were also getting closer and closer to the moat under the protection of the shield carts.

"Push it up!"

The creaking sound continued, and the dense crowd of thieves and hungry soldiers pushed the trench bridge up, and behind them were foot soldiers with spears to supervise the drive.

These moats and bridges are all five feet wide, more than two zhang long, with turns, rollers, cables, etc., just push to the moat, cut the cable, the trench bridge will be at both ends of the trench, and the trench becomes a thoroughfare.

The moat bridge has always been a siege weapon, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there is a record of use, also known as "Feijiang" or "Flying Bridge", perhaps it is to see that the artillery at the head of the city is mostly concentrated above the polder, and the five moats are all on the side, and soon not far from the moat.

The fire at the head of the city exploded, and the soaring white mist continued to fill, and the sawdust of the trench planks that had been erected high flew up.

But the trench bridge was too thick, the same twenty inches, and it was erected high in front, so that it provided good protection for the hungry soldiers who pushed the bridge behind.

But I saw the defenders on the hanging tower shouting and pointing, and suddenly the head of the wall sounded, and in the polder area of the moat bridge, it was a dense ash bottle thrown out, falling back and forth, left and right, and after smashing to the ground, the choking lime powder was everywhere, and it was a terrible howl.

Many hungry soldiers were coughing desperately, and many were covering their eyes, shouting and bumping around.

When the raw ash entered the eyes, the pain was indescribable.

There are also some fire pots that are thrown out and fall to the ground, that is, thick flames rise high, and if they are touched, they will definitely be burned alive.

A fire pot with a raging fire in the air fell, and it happened to fall in the midst of a bunch of hungry soldiers pushing the bridge, and immediately there was a terrible scream, and one by one the burning men howled and fluttered everywhere.

However, the ash bottles and fire pots thrown from the polder wall were not dense enough, and the accuracy was also a little worse, and the soldiers in the battle desperately drove away, and stabbed to death the screaming hungry people, and the panicked trench bridge continued to be pushed away, and soon pushed to the moat.

Then the moat bridges fell one after another, and at both ends of the moat, forming a temporary bridge to cross the river.

"Rush!"

The trench bridge fell, and the cheers of the rogue array rang out, and the military drums in their middle turned to a hurry, and the hungry soldiers in the rear were shouting, carrying the door panels, and pushing the carts up desperately.

There were also hungry soldiers behind the shield carts, who were also cheering and howling, and under the drive of the escort foot soldiers, they all left the shield carts one after another with hoes, iron picks, and dustpans, and rushed from the erected trench bridge to the polder wall.

A volley of firearms from the city's head knocked the hungry soldiers rushing to the ground one by one.

Without the protection of the shield cart, these hungry soldiers, who only had hoes and iron picks, were powerless, and the people who were shot rolled on the ground with their hearts broken and wailing.

However, the rest of the men still rushed desperately, and as long as they rushed through the moat of the moat, the firearms at the head of the city were useless.

Generally, there are shooting dead corners at the head of the city, according to the eyesight of the city head, the shooting accuracy of the bow and arrow birds, and the dead angle is set on the side of the moat, so the moat must be some distance away from the city wall. If it is too close, it is easy to form a shooting blind spot too early, and the current is easy to wash away and destroy the wall.

However, as long as the enemy had crossed the trench, it would be difficult for the defenders to see under the wall unless the defenders leaned out from the battlements. However, if you lean out, you will be easily hit by the enemy outside the wall, so there are various city defenses such as horse faces.

There are no horses in Suining City, only six temporary hanging towers, and the hungry soldiers who charge are too fed, and their shield carts are too close, only one or twenty steps.

Although many people were knocked down by the fire guns on the city, the tide of hungry soldiers still rushed across the moat.

Then they got under the wall, and they wielded hoes and pickaxes, and dug up the rammed earth wall with all their might.

"Rush forward!"

Directly opposite the polder, the dense hungry soldiers also left the shield cart and rushed onto the stone bridge. The fire guns at the head of the city continued to shoot at them, and the bridge and the moat were filled with people who groaned in pain, and blood flowed out, staining the moat red.

The two falcon cannons turned their heads and fired sideways at the rushing thieves, and the shotguns roared away, and the rising gunpowder smoke was mixed with blood mist, and the blood and rain on the rushing hungry soldiers were raging, lying on the ground all over the place, and even some of the shotguns hit the stone bridge, splashing a slippery spark.

However, it was impossible for the cannons to fire all the time, and there were still many thieves who rushed in from the stone bridge, rushing to the polders at both ends, and desperately digging up the earth.

……

The battle between the city and the city is heating up, the thieves are desperately digging the city, and the city is constantly beating with ash bottles and stones, with fire pots.

The defenders in the hanging tower also threw away 10,000 enemies with all their might, and also threw reeds from the city, accompanied by roasting medicine and strong oil, to deal with those who carried the door panels, or hid in the carts to dig the earth.

The flames filled the sky, the thieves were killed, and countless people were especially burned alive, and under the city walls, along the trenches, there were dense and terrifying corpses of the dead, and the wounded who struggled and howled.

There are even some corpses with distorted shapes and charred black bodies, which are terrifying to watch, but they are the fate of those who have been hit by the fire cup.

Killings, shouts, screams rang out, all kinds of tragic scenes.

Fortunately, many of them did not attack the city once or twice, but the hungry soldiers could not stand it, their fanaticism subsided, and the instinct of timidity welled up in their hearts. Many screamed and fled, but the infantry in the battle tried desperately to block them, killing them and stabbing them to death on the edge of the moat.

And on the side of the moat, many rogue archers hid behind shield carts, specializing in shooting the hungry soldiers who retreated timidly.

And their arrows whistled past, and many hungry soldiers fell by the arrows of their own men.

Under the threat of their drive, the hungry soldiers could only turn back and dig desperately in the earth, and dig no less than forty large holes at the polder wall of the West Gate.

In the middle of the day, some thieves came with long ladders, followed by dense sword and shield hands.

Coming under the protection of the shield carts, they approached the moat more and more, and with a sudden shout, the long ladders rushed desperately to several moats. Firearms fired at the head of the city, knocking over some of them, but several long ladders still crossed the trench and leaned against the polder wall ahead.

The long ladder leaned on, most of them were resisted by the fork at the head of the city, and then the ram hit the rod and overturned, but a heavy ladder still leaned on, and it was useless to use the fork and hit the pole on the city desperately, and the bent iron head in front of the heavy ladder hooked the battlement wall at once.

Amid the cheers, some of the rogue's sword and shield men climbed up and poured boiling dung juice on their heads and faces.

The foul-smelling gold juice fell, and the thief sword and shield hand who was tricked wailed bitterly, all of them had their skin and flesh open, and their bones were white, and the particularly boiling dung juice was deeply corroded into it, and they were all over their faces.

Many thieves showed a look of fear, but some thieves still wanted to climb up, but they saw a "wolf tooth slap" on the head, and the thieves who were hit by the trick had blood holes on their bodies, screaming and falling, and all the thieves who climbed on the long ladder fell.

The wolf's tooth slapped with him, falling from the top of the city to the bottom of the city, and slamming it on the large number of rogues rolling down below.

Hundreds of pounds of wolf teeth slapped into the air and fell, the force was extraordinary, and all these thieves spat blood, their internal organs burst, and their bones were broken.

In the end, the wolf's tooth slapped and "squeaked" and was withdrawn, and the wolf's tooth iron nail on it was You Tengteng with flesh and blood.

Near noon, three pointed heads came under the protection of the shield carts, and one of them was destroyed by the city's artillery, and one drove into the stone bridge, and when it was forced to the polder, it was hooked to the top of the felt by the long hook of the city's head, and then ripped off.

The fire pots in the city were called, and many thieves with carts and many thieves with knives who followed were burned alive.

However, there is still a pointed head pushed to the front of the polder, the top of this polder is not only covered with felt, but also covered with a thin layer of iron sheet, so although it is also hit by the fire pot at the head of the city, the blazing fire, but the lower city pole is still desperately hitting the polder.

The polder door was slammed violently, and the sound of the door panel shattering.

……

"Almost!"

Li Guo in the rear, with a very excited look on his face, ordered all the sword and shield men to go up, hide behind the second earthen wall, hide behind the shield carts, and as soon as the polder door crashed open, he rushed into the stone bridge and killed into the city.

At the same time, he also ordered the elite cavalry team to go up to two hundred, and as soon as the polder gate was broken, the sword and shield hands would enter, and all the elite horsemen would follow and kill all the enemies who resisted in the city!

Really going to take it? Wang Lung's eyes widened.

Yuan Zongdi still looked at it solemnly, but a smile slowly appeared on his face.

In this battle, the public shield cars made a lot of meritorious contributions, so that the fire guns of Sui Ning Xiangyong lost their sharp power.

"Donkey?" Beside him, an old bandit from the copper cottage who was already riding a horse cast an inquiring gaze.

Sun Youdonkey's heart sank, a little surprised, he always felt that Yang He, who killed a thousand knives, was not so easy to fail, but this time the rebels had a shield car, although their firearms were sharp, but they were all blocked, and they should be captured.

But he was always a little uneasy, so he said, "Mother, wait...... Don't be afraid if you really capture it, we are old battalions, and we have horses to grab fast! ”

"Almost!" At the head of the city, Yang He was also instructing Minister Yang to hand over his command here, and a general army of gunmen stayed at the head of the city, and the rest went down the city with him. He specially told Minister Yang that the thieves rushed into the polder gate and did not move for the time being.

When they were struck in the city and retreated in confusion, especially if the thieves and horsemen also rushed in, the artillery fire at the head of the city struck them, and they were killed one by one on the edge of the stone bridge, on the other side of the moat.

Then he led Han Daxia, Chen Qiuao, Zhang Songtao, Jiuye, Zeng Youyu and others to the city, and Zhou Mingyuan, the head office, followed him.

Then the people gathered around the city of Banurn, where the city gate hole came in ten steps, and then ten steps on each side, which was not small according to the square, and at this time the following was full of horse-repellent spikes along the wall.

Yang He, a hundred soldiers in the lower city, was ordered to be divided into four rows, all standing on the slope outside the earthen wall, behind the chest wall, but there were dense secret soldiers gathered, all holding ash bottles in their hands, and some people used long iron spoons to light the fire pots, there were more than a dozen, which was also the last stock of Suining City.

Then behind them was Cui Lu's grenadier team, and there were still a lot of 10,000 enemies left, a basket was swinging, and it was filled with round 10,000 enemies, each weighing three catties.

Then the area around Banurn City was full of soldiers and social soldiers with weapons and bows and arrows, the Jiuye cavalry team, the sentry team, and the Chen Qiuao escort team in iron armor were standing.

After striking the enemies of the half-urn city, they will open the side doors and fight out of the city, especially the thieves who are still digging the city on the inner side of the moat.

……

Everyone waited quietly, the polder gate in front of them was still violently roaring, the cracking sound of the thick iron-clad gate was getting louder and louder, and the pointed heads outside the door were desperately slamming.

Finally, with a loud bang, the polder shattered and collapsed.

The thieves outside the city were earth-shattering cheers.
