Chapter 58 Armor-piercing bullets

The Italian guns presented by the system are naturally indispensable shells. The previous shrapnel has shown its power in Bali Town, but Yangzhou City is not much larger than Bali Town, and the two Italian shrapnel alone are afraid that it will not play a decisive role.

And if there is an armor-piercing shell that directly blows open the city gate, it is different! Although the redcoat cannon is not small, the angle of fire is not good, and it is a breech gun, and if you want to hit the city gate, you can only rely on luck, but Italy is completely different.

Sure enough, the Italian artillery lived up to expectations, and dozens of armor-piercing shells were shot out by them in a few minutes, and the gate of Yangzhou collapsed with a loud bang.

At this moment, not only the Yangzhou defenders at the head of the city, but also the Yang Su army were also stunned, and the battlefield instantly became silent and silent, as silent as death! The gate of Yangzhou is broken!

Cao Wenzhao stared at the city gate that collapsed under the thick smoke, raised his iron gun and shouted, "Charge with me!" ”

The earth-shaking drums sounded, Cao Wenzhao led the Guanning iron cavalry to charge, the iron hooves rumbled on the ground, and the steel torrent turned into an iron spear, stabbing forward and piercing straight into the hearts and lungs of the enemy.

Xiao Sui saw that Cao Wenzhao's department had already begun to charge, and pulled out the Shang Fang sword hanging from his waist, and the Shang Fang sword emitted a burst of dazzling light: "The generals will listen to my orders and attack!" Take Yangzhou City and destroy this morning food! ”

"Charge! Charge! Countless soldiers roared excitedly and moved forward bravely!

The sound of drums urged people to forge ahead, and in the deafening sound, everyone was affected by the magnificent attack, and all the soldiers rushed towards Yangzhou City regardless of their bodies.

Xiao Xuan took a calm breath, turned back to Yang Su and said, "Yang Gongyangzhou has been broken, you lead a group of soldiers and horses outside to prevent the enemy army in the city from escaping!" ”

"Good! The gentry power in Yangzhou City is deep-rooted, if any people dare to attack our army, they will be killed, but you must restrain your soldiers and not take the opportunity to wantonly kill the people! Yang Su quickly admonished.

Xiao Xuan nodded, pumped his horse's buttocks, and began to slowly advance with the Chinese army, and when he was still a few hundred meters away from the city wall, he began to charge.

At this time, the ravines under the city had been filled, and although the defenders on the city were constantly counterattacking, it was to no avail. There was no way to stop the advance of the army.

Cao Wenzhao had already led Guanning Iron Cavalry into the city gate at this time, and now the city gate has been broken, but he is not afraid that the Yangzhou defenders will hold the gap again, Cao Wenzhao directly led the troops from the south to the north, and ran over directly.

Cao Wenzhao's cavalry moved too quickly, and the city gate was so surprisingly broken that Cao Wenzhao had already entered the city without encountering much resistance at all.

At this time, a large number of soldiers in armor had gathered under the city gate, forming a formation to re-block the city gate.

At this time, the defenders of Yangzhou City are all the families who have been cultivated since childhood, and they are loyal to the officials and soldiers of other cities who do not know how much higher they are, and this place is Yangzhou City, they have no way to retreat and fight to the death.

"Cao Bianjiao, you lead the cavalry to break through the enemy army and welcome our army into the city!" Xiao Xuan shouted.

Xiao Xuan is the main general, although she has extraordinary martial arts and is heavily guarded by her side, but it is also a bit risky to go to the battlefield in person, so naturally she can't charge into battle to kill the enemy in person.

"The last will obey! General, I see me break the enemy! Cao Bianjiao had already geared up and hurriedly hugged his fists.

Immediately, he rushed straight towards the enemy formation on the opposite side with his own soldiers and horse team.

The city gate is so big, the brave one wins when the two armies meet, and at this time they don't fight any tactics at all, just rely on the knife in their hands! Let's see who's better at fighting!

The defender generals on the opposite side, seeing Cao Bianjiao leading the team to rush over, faced the surging cavalry, his face showed a trace of hideousness, and he waved his knife and shouted, "Release the arrow!" Shoot the arrows! ”

The archers standing behind the spearmen opened their bows and threw their bows, and by this time the cavalry had already charged less than fifty paces, and they could shoot at this gate indiscriminately.

Cao Bianjiao charged forward, bowing his head with a gun in the face of the rain of arrows, the armor clanged, and several arrows directly pierced the armor, and there were several arrows inserted in his body, but Cao Bianjiao was not afraid. The first soldier took the lead, bent over the horse, and when he rushed to the front of the enemy's formation, he suddenly threw the iron spear in his hand.

The iron spear with huge inertia directly penetrated the four people, and at the moment when the four people in front of him fell, Cao Bianjiao took the iron spear handed by the soldiers next to him on horseback, and jumped into the enemy formation from the gap in front of the formation.

Cao Bianjiao's strength was amazingly brave and abnormal, and the spear in his hand turned into a long dragon, sweeping away a large gap.

In an instant, a row of personal soldiers and iron horses also rushed in, and it undoubtedly took great courage to fight the cavalry with infantry, and it was said that the pikemen restrained the cavalry. But it also depends on what kind of army it is, the family members are still elite in small-scale battles such as thieves and robbers on weekdays, but the first time they face the group charge of the heavy cavalry, it is rare not to collapse.

At this point, the Heavy Rider had trampled into the array. The inertia of the horse's charge is very great, and the cavalry will never swing the weapon when killing the enemy at high speed, but will do its best to raise the spear in his hand flat, without any movement at all, and the inertia brought by that speed alone is enough to kill people easily. Otherwise, when the spear pierces the armor, the force is enough to pull them off their horses.

Of course, for a martial artist like Cao Bianjiao, inertia is not applicable.

Cao Bianjiao's department rushed into the queue of Yangzhou defenders at once, behind these families is Yangzhou City, they can't retreat at all, although they are frightened, but they finally grit their teeth and stick to it, and there is a steady stream of reinforcements who get the news from all over the city, Cao Bianjiao wanted to instantly defeat the enemy army and open up the way for the army behind, but at this time he temporarily fell into a melee.

The cavalry, with the speed of their horses and the speed of the charge, easily slaughtered the defenders' foot soldiers, and rushed through the spear formation of the foot soldiers, and the sword and shield soldiers in the formation had no advantage in the face of the cavalry that had not yet slowed down, and could not carry out a siege and kill the cavalry at all, but suffered heavy casualties.

A bloody wind hung in the array, accompanied by terrifying roars and screams.

Thousands of men and horses of the two armies fought fiercely under this crowded city gate.

Cao Bianjiao, who took the lead in the charge, finally made a hole in the human wall, and only a crossbowman with a single knife was left in front of him, trembling in front of him! The enemy array is about to be killed by him!

As soon as Cao Wenzhao lifted the reins, the war horse neighed and raised its front hooves, kicked its hind legs and jumped forward, and stepped down suddenly. With a dull cracking sound, several enemy soldiers in front of them were knocked away by horses, and even more unlucky ones died directly under the horses' hooves, and a large hole in their chests was crushed into a bloody hole!

Xiao Xuan stood outside the city wall, raised his head and looked at the overall battle situation, in addition to the tragic battle under the city gate that has entered the end, at this moment the city is also full of fires and killings, the army can enter the city immediately, and Yangzhou City is broken!
