XVIII. The Fierce Battle of the Capture of the City (Part II)

Before the war, Xiao Ruxun had mobilized all the doctors in the city, prepared a large number of medicinal materials and bandages, the mortality rate of the wounded soldiers was very high at this time, and even a large number of soldiers died after the war when the wound suppurated or bleed too much, not directly killed, these precious veterans once restored to the battlefield, their combat effectiveness far exceeded that of a new soldier, so Xiao Ruxun attached great importance to the treatment of wounded soldiers, and even specially arranged shield soldiers to protect and carry wounded soldiers down the city for treatment, and also prepared a large number of spirits for disinfection, to ensure that the wounded soldiers did not die.

Chen Xie pulled out his sword and shouted, "Crossbowmen prepare!" ”

Rows of crossbowmen stepped forward in unison.

"Shoot the arrow! Raise your bow and crossbow! Aim! ”

"Shield soldiers withdraw their shields!!"

Greeting to the side, he cooperated tacitly, and ordered the shield soldiers to remove the shield from the battlements and squat down.

"Shoot the arrow!!"

Wang Hui also shouted at the right time: "Ignition!" Put!! ”

The artillery roared, the arrows rained through, and the death blow from the head of the city brought annihilation to the rebel soldiers who rushed to the city of Pingyu, although some rebel officers ordered the shield soldiers to raise their shields, but with little effect, and the power of the artillery was not something that the shield could resist.

They had no choice but to fight back to the death.

"Raise your shield!!"

It's a pity that most of their counterattacks will be blocked by shields, and the well-trained shield soldiers know very well how to resist the bows and arrows, while the rebels seem to lack training in this area, and the few remaining artillery pieces are not well operated, and there are actually a few shells that hit their own positions, setting off a bloody storm, and the angry Biyun immediately slashed with his sword.

The roar of the Franc machine was a nightmare that the rebels could not resist, and as the rebel charge intensified, Wang Hui ordered the remaining five idle Franc machines to be transferred to the city to join the roar.

The number of casualties among the Ming army in Chengtou was also increasing, but most of them were wounded by stray arrows, and only a few were unlucky enough to be shot to death.

At this time, the rebels finally rushed to the bottom of the city, a rebel army carrying a crashing wood was about to bombard the city gate, and a large number of rebels were about to go to the city to fight with a ladder.

"Throw stones!!"

Zhao Hu ordered the soldiers to use the stone to the rebels who began to hit the city gate and ascend the city, a group of strong soldiers held the big stone and smashed it down, the blood and flesh of the rebels were blurred, and soon, the team of people who hit the city gate were all wiped out, five ladders were pushed down, the first wave of the rebels tried to land in the city failed, Wang Hui immediately ordered the soldiers to lower the muzzle of the cannon, shoot down, suddenly a burst of artillery fire exploded under the city, hundreds of rebels under the city were annihilated, the casualties were heavy, and the rain of arrows followed, this group of rebels who rushed to the front were basically dead.

The first rebel thousand-man squad has basically been lost, and the remaining two or three hundred crossbowmen are dying every moment under the threat of artillery fire, and Biyun roared and kicked a pro-soldier away, roaring to let Wang Jin withdraw his troops, Wang Jin ran back with his head down, and before he could confess, Biyun struck him with a sword with a black face, and the blood of the headless corpse was sprinkled on the ground like a blowout before falling down and convulsing, shocking the rest of the officers.

"The siege is not good, and it will cost me hundreds of troops! Kill! Next, you! Sun Xiao! ”

Sun Xiao, who was named, suddenly looked pale as if he was mourning, and only after a while did he step forward in pain, leading the next team of 1,000 people, rushing forward with a big shield under the cover of artillery fire and crossbowmen in this formation, although he did not escape the attack of artillery fire, but he finally reduced the lethality of the arrow rain, and the loss was much less than before, so he rushed to the bottom of the city wall, and they were greeted by the rolling wood and stones that fell down like raindrops and the cannonballs that exploded, and they were dead again, so they barely erected the ladder and didn't climb a few steps, was picked up by the Ming army with a wooden stick to open the ladder, fell straight down and died.

Seeing that he was about to be defeated again, Sun Xiao knew that it was also death to retreat, and it was better to die on the battlefield to die in battle.

Holding the knife in his mouth, he climbed up the ladder, dodging the rain of arrows while going up, the three soldiers in front fell down one after another, and were killed by arrows or stones, he was really lucky, he rushed directly to the city, as soon as he came up, he saw a black hole in the shape of a tube facing his head, and he also saw a wisp of white smoke rising slowly, and then ......

Bang.

The back half of Sun Xiao's head was shattered like a smashed watermelon, and only the body with a broken head fell off the city, and he hastily completed his life path and became the second rebel officer to die since the battle for Pingyu City began.

In view of the fact that the rebels rushed to the city and the artillery was inconvenient to fire, and the rolling wood and stones were easy to expose the soldiers and caused large losses, Xiao Ruxun decisively ordered to transfer 100 soldiers and 50 auxiliary soldiers to fight in the city, specifically to deal with those soldiers who ran to the city, and their own shield soldiers were protected by shields, so they only needed to shoot with confidence.

Gunshots rang out at the head of the city, clouds of smoke filled the city, and the distant Biyun frowned.

"What's that?! They are all about to climb the city wall and driven down again! What kind of firearm is that?! How can there be so much smoke? ”

Biyun doesn't like firearms very much, and believes very much in the steel knife in his hand and the war horse under his crotch, so he doesn't have much research on firearms.

"Bird? Is that the broken pipe that beats the birds? Is it that powerful? ”

Biyun said disdainfully.

Bi Yong didn't know how to describe it, because he didn't know much about firearms, but he knew a little more about the rebels than the Bi family, so he could still say some more professional opinions: "General, although this thing is useless, it is indeed very powerful, and if it is used well, it can kill a person with one shot." ”

Biyun frowned at the clouds of smoke that kept bursting from the city wall, and asked, "Do we have them?" ”

"Yes, yes, but ......"

"But what?" Bi Yun's eyes widened, and Bi Yong had no choice but to say truthfully: "But we won't use it, it's all in the warehouse, and no one cares." ”

"Rubbish! What do you want! Biyun glared and slapped Bi Yong's face, knocking Bi Yong to the ground, looking at the siege dilemma with irritation.

The long-range has the fire suppression of the Fran machine, and the short-range is limited by the bird's gun, and the rising number of war deaths directly leads to the increasing irritability index of Biyun.

"General! I really can't imagine that a little processing of the fire rope and some gunpowder packs can increase the rate of fire so much, and now the corpses of the rebels killed by the Bird Gun team are piled up all over the city on the ground, about two or three hundred! This, this rate of fire has also increased too fast! ”

Wang Hui watched the well-trained bird gunners continue to fire with guns, and the auxiliaries behind them moved quickly to complete the loading of the bird guns, and then handed them to the bird guns, the bird guns easily aimed at the rebels under the city under the protection of the shield soldiers and knocked them down with one shot, and then squatted down to load the ammunition, the action was swift and the efficiency was extremely high, the only fly in the ointment, the wind was not strong today, so the city was always filled with a faint smell of fireworks and bad urine......

"The power of firearms needs to be maximized under specific circumstances, but after this battle, we will focus on further improving the problem of firearms being afraid of water, and strive to get a batch of firearms that are not afraid of water and have a faster shooting speed. Hahahaha! ”

Seeing that the battle situation was superior, Xiao Ruxun's mood was also slightly better, and he continued to order: "Pay attention to protect the birds, the attacks of the birds and the Francophone cannot be stopped, be careful not to let the enemy enter the city, inform the remaining three, don't be stingy with gunpowder and cannonballs, once the remaining three enemy troops attack, they must resolutely fight back, the bird's team has few manpower, they must focus on the west city, and they can't divide the troops to garrison, let them pay more attention." ”

Wang Hui nodded: "No!" ”
