Chapter 931: The Dead Are Han (Subscription Requested) (Page 1/1)

Countless soldiers at the head of Jinzhou City were busy nervously, and the archers struggled to pull out their bows and shoot sharp arrows at the Han people who were filling the river.

Regardless of whether they were once the subjects of the Ming Dynasty, as long as they stepped on the battlefield at this moment, they were enemies. Mercy is worthless on the battlefield, only if you can survive.

The archer is not a perpetual motion machine with infinite power, and he has to stop and rest for a while when he shoots three arrows in a row. After a dozen arrows, the arm could no longer be lifted, and it had to rest for a long time to recover.

And the fire hammer cast by the Ming Dynasty was not lethal enough for the people who filled the river, so that the arrows in Jinzhou City were weak.

The most lethal is the eight-ox crossbow, which requires a lot of manpower to open. The bolts are like javelins, and the arrows are like a small shovel.

As long as the enemy is hit by the eight-bull crossbow, it will not end well, and the body will be torn apart by the inertia of the crossbow arrow. But the number of such heavy ballistae is too small, and it is only a drop in the bucket for the densely packed people under the city.

Wang Fu yelled angrily at the soldiers defending the city, and in less than an hour after the Jurchens attacked Jinzhou City, he lost more than 100 archers.

The Jurchen archers standing under the city and shooting at the head of the city were so powerful that even with the suspension defense, the archers at the head of the city still suffered heavy casualties.

With the cover of Jurchen archers, the river reclamation proceeded very quickly. Most of the moat has been added, and in another half an hour, the Jurchens will rush directly to the city.

Wang Fu was really anxious, he had already disobeyed the order once and did not go to Dalinghe City to garrison. It has already angered Zhao Shujiao, if it is not good to defend the city again, then it will really be engaged in military law.

At that time, Zhao Shujiao killed him, but it was justified, and no one could find fault with it. In order to be able to defend the section of the city wall for which he is responsible, he has already used all his strength.

But unfortunately, this section of the city wall he defended was the direction of the Jurchens' main attack.

Although it was only the reclamation of the river before the attack, the archers in his hands suffered more than 100 casualties. If this continues, won't his archers be killed or wounded when it comes time for the official siege?

What will be used to prevent the Jurchens from ascending the city at that time? Without archers, would they fight the Jurchens in the city?

He had to figure out a way to do it, and it was simply unrealistic to count on that illusory reinforcement. Although the Jurchens are invincible, although there are some exaggerated elements, but the combat effectiveness is still relatively strong, and the Jurchens under the city have 30,000 or 40,000 people, unless the Ming Dynasty can come to a hundred thousand Ming troops, otherwise they will not want to relieve the siege of Jinzhou.

"Ahh Everyone was shocked by a scream, and an archer fell to the top of the city screaming with his face covered. The Jurchen's arrow was extremely vicious, and it directly hit the man's face.

Although he did not lose his breath for a while, there was no cure for such an injury.

Wang Fu personally came to the archer's side, drew his waist knife and said, "Brother, let's go!" ”。 The waist knife stabbed straight into the man's chest, and the archer's body trembled a few times and stopped breathing.

"Take it down, take the arrows, and let this brother go clean!" Wang Fu could only do this, so that the mortal archer would die a more painful death.

Two men ran up from near the road at the head of the city, rolled up the archer with their mats, and trotted down the city.

Looking at the departing young man, Wang Fu's felt that this method seemed to be feasible. Although it will cause heavy damage, it is better than losing all the archers before the battle begins.

Later, a military order from Wang Fu caused the people of Jinzhou City to help defend the city to wail, and many of them were selected. The men were given only a wooden shield and were to stand in front of the archers to protect them from arrows.

If the archer is shot, then the young man who protects him will also be beheaded. The lives of the young men were tied to the bodies of the archers, so that they would do their best to protect the safety of the archers.

As for whether Qingzhuang would desperately protect the archers, Wang Fu was not worried at all. In wartime, military law is more important than anything else, and those who disobey military orders will be beheaded.

Those young people have no choice at all, and there is no second way to go except to do their best.

Looking at those young men who were clumsy and their legs trembled but stood firmly in front of them, Wang Fu's heart relaxed. As long as the casualties of the archers can be reduced, no matter how many young people die, he will not feel distressed.

After the moat was filled, it was the ant of the Han army banner to attack the city. Thousands of soldiers of the Han Eight Banners rushed to the city against the ladder with arrows and artillery fire, shouting trumpets to erect the ladder.

When the ladder slammed heavily on the city wall, the iron hook at the front of the ladder also firmly hooked the battlements of the city wall. As long as the iron hook hooks the head of the city, no matter how many people on it, they will not want to knock down the ladder.

The soldiers of the Han Army Banner held the steel knife in their mouths, held the shield in one hand, and climbed the ladder in the other.

At the head of the city, the bricks and stones smashed the head of the Han army flag soldiers who climbed the city, and several people of the Ming army defending the city shouted the trumpet and lifted a rolling log to the city head, and smashed it down the ladder.

The rolling log carried several soldiers on the ladder down with the sound of the wind, and the ladder also made an alarming tooth sore sound under the weight of the rolling log. Overwhelmed ladder "Click! The thud broke into two sections, and together with the rolling logs and the soldiers, the soldiers below were overwhelmed.

Some Ming troops fixed the wolf's tooth slap at the head of the city, and then released the noose. The wolf's tooth slapped with inertia and smashed into the Han army flag soldier below, and there was no life at all under the huge wolf tooth slap.

The Ming army at the head of the city opened the noose and slapped the wolf's teeth up again, waiting for the next smash.

In addition, fire oil bottles, gold juice, ash bottles, and 10,000 enemies appeared in turn, turning Jinzhou City into a huge meat grinder. Countless red-eyed people rushed into the meat grinder to fight for their lives, staining the ground under Jinzhou City.

Huang Taiji nodded on the horse, the Han military flag was his magic stroke. If there were no Han army flags, it would have been them Jurchens who died under the city.

No matter how large the population of the Jurchens is, they cannot withstand such attrition, and there is no possibility of tricks in such a hard-fought siege warfare.

It's all about the attrition of both sides, and it depends on who can hold on longer. And what the Jurchens are not good at is a war of attrition, and the Han army banner just makes up for their shortcomings of not being good at attacking cities.

After a day of siege fighting, both sides suffered heavy casualties. With the advantage of the city wall, Jinzhou City suffered fewer casualties.

The Jurchens didn't care, most of the people who died were men and horses of the Han military banner. The real Jurchen armor has not yet been used, and they can hold on to the loss of a few archers.

In the big tent of Huang Taiji, a group of princes and ministers who accompanied the army were happy and convinced of Huang Taiji. Today's siege battle has shown them the power of the Han army flags, and with these Han army flags, there is no city that their Jurchens cannot attack.

The dead are all Han Chinese, and the Jurchens benefit from it, is there anything better than this?
