Chapter 16: The Bloody Battle of Luoliang Mountain
Artillery rang out, and the offensive followed.
Hooks hung on the stone railings on the bridge, and black shadows quickly climbed towards the bridge.
And the officers and men who were the first to board the bridge had already formed a small defensive formation.
The sword and shield hand is in front, and the fire gun hand is behind.
The alarm sounded, and the city walls on both sides of the arch bridge were already full of company members.
Orders to shoot were shouted in a hurry, and the company members in the city began to defend and counterattack, and the short arrows of the crossbow guns were shot and nailed to the shields of the officers and men, not killing as expected.
Someone roared: shoot under the bridge, shoot under the bridge.
So the crossbow guns that had been reversed fired again and fired at the officers and soldiers waiting to climb under the bridge, and the officers and soldiers began to be killed and wounded.
But after two waves of arrows, the artillery under the city was activated again, and a round of artillery smashed into the city wall, instantly flattening the battlements of a section of the city wall, and the team members hiding behind the battlements were instantly killed and injured.
On the stone bridge, the officers and soldiers who had already completed the formation began to slowly approach the city walls on both sides.
Seventy paces, the officers and soldiers stopped, the fire was fired continuously, the fire flickered frequently, the smoke blew away with the wind towards the bridge, the powerful firepower was concentrated, the company members on both sides of the arch bridge were killed and wounded again by a wave, and the bridgehead was empty in an instant.
The defense of the entire Luoliang Mountain was instantly broken by the sudden officers and soldiers, and for a while, the two sides with a huge disparity in weapons were victorious.
————
After the first cannon shot, the entire city wall was already sounded with the sound of a chaotic enemy attack.
At this time, Jia Hu, the company commander responsible for the defense of Luoliang Mountain, happened to walk from the mountain to the foot of the mountain.
Listening to the sound of artillery, my heart was suddenly startled, and I instantly realized that the enemy was attacking.
Without thinking too much, Jia Hu rushed to the city wall with his own soldiers.
Just climbed the city wall, a burst of artillery shelling, the city wall shook, Jia Hu stood unsteadily, fell to the ground, and when he stood up again, the defense of the entire city wall had been instantly corrupted, and as far as the eye could see, there were companies lying on the entire city wall.
Jia Hu was instantly stunned, and his heart was even more frightened, the enemy's powerful offensive made Jia Hu realize that Luoliangshan was facing a crisis of extinction tonight.
At this time, the officers and soldiers on the arch bridge were already approaching within thirty paces, and the members of the company dodged one after another, but they still fell to the ground one after another in the bursts of fire.
"Wu San, go up the mountain and press the artillery on the mountainside for me." Turning around and yelling, Jia Hu turned around and shouted to the surrounding company members: "Everyone go down the city wall, all go down the city wall and line up." ”
As for the company members on the city wall of the new city opposite, Jia Hu couldn't take care of it, but the company members in front of him couldn't just let the enemy slaughter them.
In the roar, the company members began to retreat in panic in fear, but some people were still shot and fell.
On the opposite city wall, after the five hundred company members could not resist the attack of the officers and soldiers, they had been attacked by the officers and soldiers, and a figure fell in the firelight, Jia Hu gritted his teeth and stared helplessly, and his angry heart was dripping blood.
These team members are all seeds of Luoliang Mountain!
"Tang Sanxian, take people from Shanyin to bypass the officers and soldiers, and go to Pingyang City to report the news." Jia Hu turned around, looked at Tang Sanxian who was stunned, slapped it, and roared.
Tang Sanxian, who was still young, saw the tragedy in front of him for the first time, and the fear in his heart finally woke up under a slap, nodded vigorously, and turned around and went down the city wall.
Ignoring the last team of players who remained on the city wall, Jia Hu turned around and ran down the city wall quickly.
"Everyone, assemble halfway up the mountain, look for a shelter point, and wait for a counterattack." Looking at the remaining less than half of the team members, Jia Hu's heart swelled with tearing pain.
At the sound of an order, more than 200 people retreated halfway up the mountain again.
At this moment, the members of the 1,000 companies on the mountain and the other people in the cottage had already realized that something was wrong and hurried from the bottom of the mountain.
Jia Hu only left the main combat team members, and the others were driven up the mountain to continue to maintain the stability of the cottage, and the people imprisoned on the cottage and the craftsman's workshop were the most important core.
The two groups of men mixed into a team and began to look for temporary fortifications halfway up the mountain, waiting for the officers and soldiers to attack.
In just one stick of incense, more than seventy percent of the 1,000 members of the company who were originally guarding the city wall were killed or wounded, leaving only more than 200 frightened and panicked team members.
The loss in front of him is the heaviest one since the establishment of Luoliang Mountain.
Everything that just happened was like a sudden nightmare, and the nightmare hadn't woken up yet.
The sound of the city gate being opened by the officers and soldiers came, and the figures of the officers and soldiers of the brigade also appeared at the foot of the mountain, and the officers and soldiers of the black pressure began to press the mountain along the official road built of cement.
It's still the sword and shield hand that takes the lead, covering the firecrackers.
But after the evacuation, the company members had a short time to prepare for defense.
After a short period of repairing and searching for cover, the company members finally began to put up an effective resistance.
The entire halfway up the mountain is covered by the greenhouses on both sides of the mountain road, and the company members are all over the place.
As the officers and men began to approach within 100 paces, waves of arrows rained down from both sides of the mountain road, and it was difficult for the sword and shield men in front of them to take care of the musketeers behind them.
Sudden shooting, after casualties, the officers and men began to counterattack, the fire began to shoot in both directions, but in the dark, it was difficult to find the figure of the company members, and finally could only shoot at the wall of the greenhouse or in the empty gap.
The bolt shot much faster than the gunner, and in just over ten seconds, five waves of arrows rained out.
Then there was the gap for loading short arrows, and the time for the company members to load the short arrows was pulled, and the sword and shield hands of the officers and soldiers finally had time to evolve into formation, and the semi-circular battle formation tried to protect the musketeers behind them.
Then the whole semi-circular formation began to approach upwards.
Five steps later, a rain of arrows struck again.
The disadvantage of the shooting of the repeater was that it could only shoot at a short distance and could not be thrown, but even so, after the shields of the officers and soldiers blocked a large number of short arrows, dozens of musketeers fell on the mountain road again.
The offensive of the officers and soldiers came to a halt again.
At the foot of the mountain, Zuo Guangxian, who was guarding next to the artillery, watched the situation, frowned, and ordered viciously: "Bomb me, bomb hard." ”
The artillery was restarted, and the shells rushed out of the fiery barrels and shelled intermittently along the hillsides on both sides of the officers and men.
The greenhouses on both sides of the mountain road, under the bombardment of iron bullets, turned over to the earth dragon and collapsed one after another, and the team members hiding behind the greenhouses were instantly buried under the collapsed brick walls.
The artillery was fired one after another, and the attacks of the officers and men were temporarily stopped.
Jia Hu, who was halfway up the mountain, looked at the collapsed greenhouses, his heart was dripping blood, the dead team members destroyed the food, and this was a fatal thing for Luoliang Mountain.
"Artillery team, why haven't you come down yet?" There was no way for a while, Jia Hu could only anger at the pro-soldiers behind him.
The artillery fired endlessly, at random intervals, but under the deterrence of the artillery, it was difficult for the company members to counterattack.
Just when Jia Hu was about to vomit blood, the gun trucks were pushed down the mountain road, and when he saw the gun trucks, Jia Hu's heart finally rose with confidence, and he felt that his anger had a source of catharsis.
Bent over and ran towards the artillery team.
A company of twenty small artillery pieces was pushed down the hill and lined up on the mountain road.
"Stationary artillery, lined up."
On the flat ground reserved by the greenhouse, twenty artillery pieces were divided into two sides by the mountain road and lined up.
