Chapter 187: After the Break

Zhao Xiaosi took the lead and jumped out of the breastwork, and the other soldiers followed. They crawled forward on their stomachs, carefully climbing over a low wall.

Those low walls that guarded against the approach of the Jurchen ice walls became the biggest obstacle to their advance. At this moment, Zhao Xiaosi began to complain about Fan Kuan, just fix one or two, not to mention making so many tiring people, it's troublesome to climb over.

Listening to the constant sound of the bowstring, Zhao Xiaosi kept praying in his heart: Uncle Fan! You have to hold on!

Fan Kuan in the fortress was also taken aback by the sudden attack of the Jurchens, and when he saw that the Jurchens' powder keg could be thrown so far, his heart was also cold.

Fortunately, Zhao Xiaosi, this bastard kid, is not in the fortress, as long as this kid is smart, there is still a great chance of survival.

Zhao Xiaosi didn't dare to lie on the front of the ice wall, which was where the artillery attacked. He could clearly see that the landing point of the artillery was still a long distance away from the ice wall, and even if it was dawn, he would not be able to break through the ice wall.

Finally approached the side of the ice wall, and at this moment, the Han army flags with shaved ice all ran back to operate the trebuchet, and the low wall they had cut was empty.

A sentry soldier of the Changxing Army approached the ice wall under the leadership of Zhao Xiaosi, while the Jurchens and Han Junqi behind did not know anything, and they were still working hard to manipulate the trebuchet.

"Grenade ready!" Zhao Xiaosi gave a low command, and took the lead in pulling out the grenade.

Ertu was watching the powder keg explode in the fortress from the top of the ice wall, and he was very proud.

So many people are not as shrewd as him, and they can project farther as long as they reduce the weight of the powder keg. And the stupid Changxing army artillery still habitually shot at the standard distance of the trebuchet, and his heart was even more proud when he looked at the shells that hit him in front of him.

Ertu's triumph was soon interrupted by a series of white smoke fires, and he felt as if something had flown over his head.

He turned his head to look, and saw a ball of fire explode in the Han army flag that operated the trebuchet. A soldier of the Han Army flag was blown up and flew out covered in blood, and the others were also blown upside down.

Even the trebuchet was tilted a little by the shock, and the Han army flags around it immediately scattered and fled. Even his more than 100 Jurchen armor soldiers who supervised the Han army banner were retreating, and he was hesitating to retreat with him when a series of explosions sounded near the trebuchet.

Four trebuchets were about to be shaken by the impact of the small tree in the wind and rain, and finally one of the trebuchets fell down and hit the trebuchet next to it.

After the two trebuchets collided, they turned into two piles of broken parts, and the rest of the trebuchets were not much better, not much better than the two that fell, and they didn't want to use them if they were not pulled back and repaired.

Zhao Xiaosi excitedly waved his arms on the spot, and smashed the Jurchen's trebuchet with one attack. not only rescued Uncle Fan in the fortress, but also made a few contributions.

He didn't notice the Ertu on the ice wall, they were spotted by the Ertu from above.

When Ertu saw that the Changxing army, which only had a few dozen people, actually destroyed his trebuchet. He drew his bow and arrow in anger, and aimed it at Zhao Xiaosi who was excited.

This arrow shot very tricky, and it didn't give Zhao Xiaosi time to react at all, and hit him in the chest.

Zhao Xiaosi: "Oops! He fell to the ground with a bang, and the other Changxing troops hurriedly came up and dragged Zhao Xiaosi and ran back.

Ertu appeared on the ice wall and shouted, "Jurchen warriors! Kill the bright dog in front of you! For the glory of Daikin, kill!! Then he fired two arrows in succession and hit the retreating Changxing army, and his shout stopped the retreating Jurchens.

They turned around and slaughtered the retreating Changxing army. Those soldiers of the Han Army Banner did not continue to retreat, and now they can't escape the fate of beheading even if they return to the camp, so it is better to follow the Jurchens to charge.

More than 200 of them chased after Zhao Xiaosi's sentry and killed him, and Zhao Xiaosi's arrow made the Changxing army have no command and could only flee with their heads bored.

By the time they were about to flee to the ice wall, the Jurchens had already come close a few paces away. As long as you work harder, you can catch up with the Changxing army, and at this moment, there is a popping bean sound on the breastwork.

The Jurchen armor soldiers who rushed to the front fell one by one, and the momentum of their pursuit suddenly stopped.

The fleeing Changxing Army took advantage of this short gap to jump over the breastwork and gasp for breath, and a voice sounded in their ears: "Where is your sentry commander?" Why didn't you even resist the retreat layer by layer? Let the Jurchens catch up, and you're all doomed! ”

The fleeing Changxing army was reprimanded by this voice and did not dare to come out, and a soldier whispered to defend: "The sentry commander was in a coma after being hit by an arrow, and we just ran away, and we didn't think so much!" ”

Hearing that Zhao Xiaosi was in a coma, the voice paused before saying, "The sentry chief is in a coma, what are your chiefs?" Are they all dead? Now hurry up and line up Lao Tzu into a three-stage attack, the Jurchens are coming up! Go to two people to send the sentry commander to the fortress, and wait for the Jurchens to go down and then send them to Changxinggou! ”

Fan Kuan observed the position of the Jurchen trebuchet in the fortress, and when he saw the continuous fire on the ice, he knew that Zhao Xiaosi, the bastard, had rushed up.

Impatient, he ordered the artillery crew to continue firing, and he took the remaining sentry Changxing army to the ice wall to meet Zhao Xiaosi.

Fortunately, he arrived in time, otherwise this sentry Changxing army would have been hacked to death by the Jurchens. When he heard that Zhao Xiaosi was in a coma and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, his heart was also confused.

In order to block the advance of the Jurchens, Fan Kuan ordered to return fire on the spot. The busy Changxing army lined up and still shot at the Jurchens, and the artillery of the fortress also kept firing, and the Changxing army was here on the breastwork to block the Jurchen attack, they did not dare to retreat, as long as the Jurchens showed a little flaw, they would pounce.

The two sides froze in place all of a sudden, and the Jurchens were not without the strength to fight back. This distance was the distance of their heavy arrows, and the continuous heavy arrows shot towards the Changxing army.

The Changxing Army's firearms also kept firing back, especially the Immortal Guns, which killed an enemy almost every time.

Although the Jurchens suffered much greater casualties than the Changxing army, they fought to the death as if they had fought to the death.

Years of military career told Fan Kuan that there must be a demon when something goes wrong. There must be a conspiracy for the Jurchens to retreat if they have suffered such heavy casualties, and now they have given up the advantage of the fortress, in case there is a mistake, it will be too late.

"Chen Jia and Liu Qiangshi left behind, and the rest of the people withdrew to the fortress. Fast! Execute it now! When his order was given, the Changxing army moved.

A team of twenty men took the place of the original musketeers, and they continued to shoot outward, while the rest ran towards the fortress.

Ertu, who had been directing the Jurchen attack, found that the Changxing army seemed to have come out of the fortress to stop his men.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as long as Changxingjun leaves the turtle shell, it will be the fish and meat on the Jurchen board on such a night.

"Ming dog! Wait a minute, let me give you a taste of steel knives! ”
