Chapter 12: The Hidden Killer Feature

There are not many soldiers and horses in Chongyang City, and although the miners under Lu Renqing have just formed an army, they have also been engaged in battle in the past two days. In the process of defending the city, Lu Renqing found that the Dashun army had an attempt to build Yuliang Road, and hurriedly found it to remind Wang Kefan.

Wang Kefan nodded approvingly, and praised: "Renqing is right, Hao Shaoqi has been preparing for more than ten days, and this is the idea that he is holding back......"

Yuliang Dao is a method carefully prepared by Hao Shaoqi to break the city, how to crack it is related to whether Chongyang can be defended, and the key is to defeat those wooden donkey carts.

Hao Shaoqi carefully prepared for so long, and spent a lot of manpower and material resources to convert hundreds of chicken buses into wooden donkey carts, if they were destroyed, it would be difficult to make another batch in a short period of time, and the Yuliang Dao tactics would naturally go bankrupt, and Chongyang would hold half of it.

However, the wooden donkey cart is like an armored vehicle of this era, and it is not easy to deal with.

It has a tough bamboo guard in front of it, the bow and arrow bird gun can't be pierced, the guard plate is covered with wet mud, not afraid of rocket attacks, the size of the car is not big, and it is difficult for the stone cannon to hit the ...... directly, unless there is a more accurate and lethal artillery, it can pose a threat to it.

Of course, the wooden donkey cart is not without weaknesses, this thing moves slowly, and it has no combat effectiveness in itself, as long as it can kill close to the front, it can easily destroy them, but Hao Shaoqi has long been prepared for this, and sent a team of men and horses to always block in front of the city gate, just to prevent the Gongyi battalion from going out of the city to attack and disturb.

With the field combat ability of the Gongyi battalion's spear formation, it is true that it is invincible against the Shangshui bandits, but it will not have much chance of victory against the Dashun army, which has been in battle for a long time and has a complete range of troops.

With Wang Kefan's analysis, the context of the battle situation gradually became clear, and Lu Renqing hesitated slightly, took a step, and proudly asked for his life.

"When the thieves approach the city wall, I am willing to lead my troops down the city and destroy the wooden donkey!"

Lu Renqing's method was very direct, and when the Dashun army crossed the moat, he led the death squad to hang down the city wall with rope baskets and destroy those wooden donkey carts.

The danger in this is self-evident, it is easy to go down to the city and difficult to go to the city, and the Dashun army will definitely desperately protect their siege equipment, and once they fall into the siege, they will not be able to come back. Lu Renqing had just become a deputy sentinel, and it was precisely when he wanted to work hard, make meritorious contributions, and prove it to everyone, so he was not afraid and rose to the occasion.

"This is a desperate method, and when it is really a last resort, it can only be done." Wang Kefan smiled slightly: "However, I still have a killer trick hidden in it, and if I use it unexpectedly, I may be able to break their wooden donkey." ”

"Oh? What is the best way for Brother Yuntai? Lu Renqing was overjoyed, he was busy training mine apprentices a few days ago, and he didn't know the details of the city defense.

"This is Meng Baihu's clever plan, I don't dare to take credit......"

Since Wang Kefan joined the army, he has been making up for the knowledge of cold weapons and warfare, and the various siege tactics used by Chongyang are half from the book of war, and half from the advice of Meng Bao and others.

Meng Baozu was born in a military household, and he is also a disciple of a general, he dare not say that he has a family history, and he still has a few tricks to pass on his family skills without passing on his daughter, and with his help, Chongyang built such a complex fortification, although it is a little repetitive and cumbersome, but it did create a lot of trouble for Hao Shaoqi.

The weakness of the low Chongyang city wall is very obvious, Wang Kefan has already considered this, and after repeated discussions with Meng Bao and others, he has prepared several sets of countermeasures for various offensive methods that the enemy may use.

Dealing with Yuliang Dao, Wang Kefan still has a hidden move.

"This trick can't be used early, and it can't be used late, you have to see the right time to make a move......"

With such a long city wall, Hao Shaoqi can choose any point to break through, and it is still unknown where Yuliang Road will be built. If the mechanism is exposed too early and enough wooden donkey carts cannot be destroyed, you can only go down to the city desperately, as Lu Renqing said.

In tomorrow's battle, the Dashun army will fill in the moat and launch an attack on the city wall, and the direction of the main attack will be exposed......

Early the next morning, the Dashun army really launched a fierce attack on Chongyang.

It was still the same tactic, except that there were more wooden donkey carts, and under Hao Shaoqi's order, the offensive at the east gate and the west gate had stopped, and they attacked the north gate with all their might.

The road paved with sacks was undulating, and it was also a large section higher than the other side of the moat, and the bridge carts of the Dashun army could not be used, and the moat was completely filled by wooden donkey carts.

When they arrived at the side of the moat, they finally entered the range of the Gongyi Camp Bird Gun, and the firepower of the Ming army was strengthened a lot, and the wooden donkey carts poured sacks with lead arrows, and the density between them became larger and larger, and the hit rate of the stone cannons on the city increased significantly. Wooden donkey carts were constantly hit and destroyed, and soldiers of the Dashun Army were constantly wounded by arrows and fell into the moat, but there were more and more sacks in the moat, and finally gradually came to the surface.

During the interval of the attack, the cavalry commander of the Dashun army rode his horse back to the battle and reported the battle situation to Hao Shaoqi.

"General Qiyu, our army has built two passages over the moat, which can pass through horses and wooden donkeys with a little repair, but we have lost forty-two wooden donkey carts......"

"It's okay, all the wooden donkeys are rushing up to Lao Tzu, and you must attack the city wall today!" Hao Shaoqi was careful in the first two days, but at this moment, he grabbed the supreme treasure like Pai Gow, and he pushed all the chips without hesitation.

From the rice fields where the soil was taken in front of the battle to the moat under the city walls, more than 500 wooden donkey carts lined up in two lines, transporting sacks like conveyor belts. Finally, the first wooden donkey cart pushed across the moat, and a cheer immediately rang out in the Dashun army.

"Whew,!"

Several ropes suddenly flew down from the city, and the ropes were hung with hooks at the tops, and they slammed into the guard plate of the wooden donkey cart with a click, and immediately bit the gap between the bamboos. The Ming troops in the city pulled the rope together and dragged the wooden donkey cart crookedly, revealing the Dashun army behind the baffle.

Locusts rained down, guns rang out, and the first Dashun soldier to break through the moat died heroically.

More wooden donkey carts rushed across the moat, more ziplines whipped off hooks, pulled down and overturned one wooden donkey cart after another, and the archers above and below the city shot wildly, and the sound of bird guns was loud and the smoke was filled.

Under the cover of the archers of the Dashun army, the Ming troops in the city lost their heads, and after throwing the zipline out, they quickly hid behind the female wall, no matter what the hook caught, they all pulled hard together.

"Ahh Yes! Help me! ”

A soldier of the Dashun army was caught by a hook and grabbed his armor, and was dragged into the air, screaming in fright, and the Ming army in the city immediately stared at this live target, and the bow, arrow, and fire were greeted together, and in the blink of an eye, he was shot into a blood gourd.

Seeing that the Ming army's zipline hook was so difficult, the general of the Shun army led the army gave an order and rushed up two hundred rattan players, who raised a shield in one hand to protect themselves, and waved a single knife in the other hand to cut the zipline hook that grabbed the wooden donkey cart.

The wooden donkey cart rushed up, ignoring the bombardment of the stone cannons at the head of the city, and rushed forward desperately, and the two fish beam roads paved with sacks gradually rose up, gradually revealing their rudimentary shape. Seeing that it was getting closer and closer to the city wall, the pace of Yuliang Road seemed to be unstoppable, and suddenly there was a whining sound on the city wall, and several huge logs flew down!

Nakshatra beating!

The Yaksha is made of a giant wood, long and thick, full of weight, the surface is full of iron nails four or five inches long, and the soldiers wearing heavy armor will fly out of the distance when they are hit, and they will be killed on the spot, and the top of the wood is tied with iron cables, which are connected to the winch at the head of the city, and can be reused many times.

"Chirp", several wooden donkey carts were hit by the Yaksha, and they were torn apart like shoddy toys, and three or four wooden carts were swept away with one attack.

"Rush up, rush up! Fight for Lao Tzu! Victory or defeat in this move, Hao Shaoqi was not distressed, urging the wooden donkey cart to continue to rush up, this loss was within his expectations, no big deal.

The Ming army on the city wall struggled to turn the winch, and slowly hung the wood to the city, ready to use it again, but this thing was heavy and abnormal, and dozens of young people pushed the turntable together, and the speed of the wood rising was still very slow.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the wooden donkey carts of the Dashun army rushed up densely, the stone cannons on the head of the city shot desperately, the flying rope hooks flew all over the sky, and the fire guns and arrows shot down like locusts, destroying one wooden donkey cart after another, but more wooden donkey carts successfully rushed to the front, constantly throwing down a large number of sacks of earth and stones, and the fish beam road was raised little by little, approaching the city wall little by little, getting closer and closer!

Hao Shaoqi came to the front of the outer trench, and estimated while watching the battle, there was no problem, although the loss of the wooden donkey cart increased rapidly, but at this speed, it was enough to put Yuliang Road on the head of Chongyang City.

Behind him were two thousand elite armor-clad soldiers, who would rush to the city as soon as the Yuliang Road was completed and crush the defenders in one fell swoop.

Victory is in sight!

At this time, a few ropes suddenly fell from Chongyang City, and a huge bamboo basket was hanging on the rope, sliding down the city wall in a flicker, and in a blink of an eye, the bamboo basket fell to the ground, and more than a dozen Ming soldiers jumped out of it, rushing towards Yuliang Road!

Hao Shaoqi couldn't help but be stunned.

The Ming army descended from the city at the Zuihou juncture, intending to destroy the wooden donkey cart in close combat, which was already within his expectations. Hundreds of rattan players and archers of the Dashun army, as well as more than a hundred cavalrymen, protected the wooden donkey carts, even if the Ming army sent 200 people down the city, it would be enough to wipe them out.

Two hundred people should be the limit of the defenders, Yuliang Road is such a big place, no matter how many people can't use it, and it will interfere with the wooden and stone cannons in the city...... Hao Shaoqi didn't expect that the Ming army only came down with more than a dozen people.

A dozen people, isn't this sent to death? And they did not "jump" and rush up to Yuliang Road, but went directly to the bottom of the city wall and rushed towards the falling sacks of earth and stones.

What are they going to do?

Hao Shaoqi was suddenly startled in his heart, and hurriedly urged his horse forward, shouting loudly towards the dense wooden donkey cart on Yuliang Road.

"Come back! All back! Pull it down......"

Before he could finish speaking, a huge cloud of smoke suddenly rose in front of him.

Like an earthquake, the fish beam road suddenly concave to the middle, paused for a moment, and then collapsed in half with a bang, and the half of the fish beam behind it lost its balance, twisted back and forth twice, and finally cracked into several pieces with a bang, and completely collapsed.

Yuliang Road was crowded with wooden donkey carts, which were thrown out like an avalanche, colliding with each other and falling to the ground, heavy guards and countless sacks fell from the sky, and at this moment they all became the most terrible killers, and in the screams of the soldiers of the Dashun Army, hundreds of wooden donkey carts turned into piles of chopping wood.

Under the city wall, there was dust, and Tan Xiao and more than a dozen other Ming soldiers were like natives, still dragging wooden bolts in their hands, but they didn't care about going to the city, and they were excitedly admiring their masterpieces......

"Thief, your mother!" Hao Shaoqi understood.

The Ming army's hidden killer weapon: trapping the military pit.
