Chapter 665 The city is about to be broken
The weather is cold and freezing, and in general, it has a greater impact on the rebels besieging the city, but it is not without benefits, that is, the moat of Linyi City, which has formed a thick layer of ice, and the rebel soldiers can directly rush to the city.
To talk about siege warfare, it should not be so easy for the enemy to approach the city wall, the moat in the north is not as wide as in the south, but there are also many means of defense, such as digging deep trenches and building sheep and horse walls, but Yi Yonggui was driven back all the way, and there was no time to prepare at all.
Under the city, the rebels braved the artillery, the rain of arrows rushed to the city, a siege ladder was erected by more than ten people, the ladder barbed to hang on the city wall, a volunteer army was covered with a quilt full of arrows, a few steps up the ladder, a rolling log on the city smashed down, and suddenly smashed him down.
Another section of the city wall, the rebels just erected a ladder, the first 10,000 enemies in the city fell, a loud bang, even people with ladders, were blown up in an instant, the body of the rebels was lifted more than a foot high, and then fell heavily to the ground, dead no longer dead.
But just after the explosion, the rebels behind put up the ladder again.
Several soldiers with slightly better equipment and stickers on their bodies shouted, "White Lotus Pure Flame, the Holy Maiden is coming, and the Ming Sect is restored." Divine power to protect the body, invulnerable. As soon as he finished speaking, he was not afraid of death, and he ran up the ladder.
More than 300,000 mud legs, without training, fought in a disorderly manner, relying on the sea of people, and after all, the courage and combat power of the mud legs were not as good as the green battalion soldiers, so the backbone of the White Lotus Sect played an important role.
As soon as these people shouted slogans, a bowl of talisman went down to the stomach, and immediately rushed to the city as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, but they were soon stabbed down with spears by the Qing soldiers in the city.
When the mud-legged people saw it, they inevitably had some thoughts in their hearts, the senior brother is amazing, and it doesn't work! The intestines have been cut out, and what about the invulnerability that is said to be good?
The leader of the White Lotus Sect naturally has a set of sayings about this, those who die are not sincere, it's not that Lao Tzu's mana is not good, you see, didn't someone rush forward? As long as you are sincere, you can be blessed by the gods.
With a wall more than ten miles long, more than 300,000 people, besieged on all sides, can no one rush to the city?
The mud-legged people saw that there was indeed a senior brother with rune paper to kill the city, but they really believed it, and immediately raised their heads to kill a bowl of turbid rune water, a bowl of warm water on a cold day, and the mud-legged people only felt that their bodies were warm, thinking that they were really cared for by Maitreya Buddha, and suddenly shouted that the ants were attached to the city.
At the head of the city, Yi Yonggui was sweating profusely, Xie Qian was beating the master to death with a random fist, he was a green battalion soldier adapted from the Shun army, he was an old thief, and he was Uncle Xie Qian in terms of qualifications, but now he was beaten by this new thief and had no temper.
This thief with moral support really can't be taken lightly.
The rebels did not have artillery, but the poor people had strong hands-on ability, and they could not build artillery, but there was no problem in building some artillery trucks, which was the heritage of the Chinese nation for thousands of years.
At this time, a cannon commander made a few gestures, and suddenly waved down, several artillery trucks were launched in unison, several boulders rose into the air, smashed into the city tower, and a hundred catties of boulders were thrown out, blowing a gust of wind, smashing the wall to pieces, and driving out a blood line at the head of the city.
The power of artillery is not much smaller than that of artillery, and the Qing soldiers will die when they touch it, and they will die when they touch it, and the deformed corpses that are smashed all over the ground will be killed.
The city gate building, the bricks and tiles were smashed and dropped, and seeing that he was about to couch, Yi Yonggui was suddenly furious, "Artillery, what are you doing?" Knock out the cannon for Lao Tzu. ”
"Put!" The commander of the Qing soldiers waved his hand suddenly, but as soon as the words fell, he was shot over by a stream of arrows.
The "boom" cannon has not stopped, in fact, the Qing army's artillery has long been against the artillery group, but after all, Linyi City has not prepared in advance, there are only 4,000 regular green battalion soldiers in the city, and it has to be spread evenly to the four city walls, and the artillery is scarce, spread out flat, and not used intensively, so naturally it is impossible to solve the artillery group for a while.
At this time, an iron bullet smashed through the wooden plank erected by the rebels to cover it, and smashed a cannon truck behind. The towering cannon cart creaked a few times and collapsed, and the rebels pulling the ropes below suddenly dispersed.
The battle above and below the city gradually entered the white-hot stage, the arrows rained down, the rebels had few bows and arrows, and could not suppress the city, but they quickly inserted a wooden plank under the city, a simple wooden plank wall in the city, and the door panel was full of arrows, and many righteous archers hid directly behind the plank, and shot the arrows shot down from the city again.
A large number of rebels have been boarded at the head of the city, but the mud legs are always mud legs, although they are encouraged by the elder brother, the ambition and pride of the Qing soldiers and the regular Ming army are not far behind, but there is indeed a lack of strict military training, shouting and releasing arrows from a distance, entering hand-to-hand combat, and the disadvantage of not cooperating with each other is obvious.
Often, more than a dozen volunteer troops could not gnaw at four or five green battalion soldiers in formation, and more than a dozen elite soldiers of the green battalion could force the swarming rebel army to retreat step by step.
The city wall fell into a tug-of-war, although the rebels were outnumbered, but they seemed to be weak in follow-up, and the brutal fighting also made the encouragement of the senior brother gradually lose its effect.
With a bang, the last artillery cart was dismantled by the Qing artillery and collapsed, but the city gate building at the head of the city was also smashed, and the horse face and the enemy platform were basically destroyed, which greatly weakened the defense of the enemy soldiers on the city wall.
After a long time, the quality of the two armies was reflected, and Zhao Shuxiang saw that the righteous army at the head of the city was gradually driven down, so he couldn't help but hit his horse and leaned over, and said to Xie Qian: "General, it's time to make a move." ”
Xie Qian naturally knew that with a wave of his raised right hand, several generals beside him immediately roared loudly, and the four thousand old battalions that had been waiting for a long time behind the battle heard the sound and rushed towards the city with a shout!
These soldiers were all armed with cotton armor, carried shields, had strong protection, and also had archers.
These people followed Xie Qian to wander around Shandong for two years, and their combat power was stronger than that of the ordinary green battalion, so Xie Qian generally did not use it easily, and they all let the mud legs consume the enemy soldiers first, and then use the old battalion to make the final decision.
At the head of the city, Yi Yonggui saw four thousand righteous troops, beating their shields, stepping on their steps, and pressing towards the city, and there was a team of people behind them who pushed out the ram of several long logs tied together, and he didn't know whose house beams were demolished by this group of thieves, and his heart suddenly sank.
The four thousand old battalions did not choose to scatter and attack, but concentrated on attacking the city gates, and they did not rush to climb, but formed a shield wall with sword and shield men to protect the archers.
Most of the horse-faced enemy buildings on this section of the city wall have been destroyed by artillery carts, and nearly a thousand archers have shot arrows at the city wall.
Yi Yonggui looked down from the lookout of the wall, and saw that the city hammer had been pushed over, and cold sweat suddenly flowed on his forehead, and he hurriedly beckoned, "Quick, transfer people from the other three gates." ”
