"Kill, kill, kill!" The soldiers of the forward battalion of the Ming army suddenly roared in unison as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, took the guys, and rushed towards the head of the city in Yili Force.

The attack of the Ming army was also very orderly, there was no rush of swarms, but the sword and shield soldiers were at the front, providing armor and defense for the whole team, and the pikemen in the back were holding a gun in one hand and a ladder in the other hand to follow behind, preparing to set up a ladder to attack the city when they were close to the city wall.

"Quick! Firecrackers! The commander of the Uighur army, who was in command at the head of the city, shouted anxiously, knowing that once the Ming army attacked, the artillery fire would be greatly reduced, for fear of accidental injury. This is the time when their cannons show their power.

When Temujin went west, he attached great importance to the power of firearms, and many of the cities captured by the Mongols were blasted by gunpowder and tunnels, so the Mongolian nobles also attached great importance to the role of artillery, such as Timur's army was equipped with many heavy artillery, which was also an important factor in his victory in a hundred battles.

As a century-old Mongolian country, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, the domestic artillery naturally also has, but these years Wen Tian Wu frolic, defeated and retreated, there is not much left, both the quantity and quality are inferior to the Ming army, so they dare not take it out to fight with the Ming army, only when the Ming army attacked, the Ming army Shenji battalion had to reduce the artillery fire, so as not to be injured by mistake, before daring to take it out to attack the infantry of the Ming army.

There were a few "creaks, creaks" as the Uighurs at the head of the city pushed out the carefully hidden artillery.

"Hurry up! Set up, the Ming army is about to come up! The Uighur centurion, who was in charge of commanding a cannon, shouted anxiously, seeing the Ming army coming up in droves of the black pressure below, their hearts were simply tangled together, anxious, really anxious, one step slow is afraid that they will die without a place to bury, this is the most powerful enemy they have ever encountered, this wave is afraid that it will be difficult, but they still have to do their best, because he is not willing to be a lamb to the slaughter.

"Hard, to the right! A little more to the right! "Several Uighur soldiers were holding this cannon and adjusting the gun position with difficulty, the artillery at this time was like this, it was very easy to fire, load the shell, a little fuse would do, but it was very difficult to hit accurately, because the cannon at this time did not have a crosshair, and where to hit it all depended on the gunner's experience, and the recoil was very huge, and after each shot, the gun position had to be manually adjusted, which was very troublesome.

But even if it's troublesome, you have to spin quickly, this big guy is a life-saving weapon.

"That's it! Hurry up! Seeing that the Uighur centurion in charge of commanding such an artillery was in place, he immediately raised his voice and shouted loudly, the Ming army had rushed to the city, and it would be too late if the artillery was not fired.

"Ignition!" One of the Uighur operators picked up a torch and lit the fuse behind the cannon, and the Uighur soldiers near the cannon scattered in fear of exploding, just like the Ming army.

Fortunately, the cannon was quite powerful, and it did not blow up, but sent its first shell of the battle with a "bang" as the Uighurs expected.

There was no difference between the Uighur shells and the Ming shells, they were solid shells that would not explode, but they were just large lead bullets that drew an arc and smashed them on the ground, and whoever hit them was unlucky, as long as they didn't hit you, they would be fine.

The buckshot lived up to the expectations of the Uighurs, drawing a perfect semicircle in the sky, and then "thump" and smashed into the chest of a charging Ming soldier, who was protected by armor, but being hit by a cannonball was still an absolutely unbearable thing.

The Ming soldier let out a "wow", spat out a mouthful of blood, and then fell straight to the ground, dying of exhaustion.

Ignoring their grief, the companions behind him straddled his corpse, armed with their weapons, and rushed to the head of the city.

The Uighur commander who commanded the artillery was overjoyed to see his men hit, and ordered in a loud voice: "Quick, load, hurry up and fire the second shot, and you will be rewarded for the battle." ”

"Yes!" The operators of this cannon shouted excitedly and began to prepare for the second round of firing. Their operation process is similar to that of the Ming army, they all restore the gun position first, then extinguish the fire, wipe the *** tube, and reload.

When these soldiers saw that they had been hit, they felt very happy, and the feeling of hitting an enemy soldier on the battlefield and taking a head was even more pleasant than sleeping with their wives. Immediately went to work in full swing, preparing to fire a second shot, but at this time, a general cannon of the Ming army hit them, and a huge lead bullet smashed directly on the barrel, and the huge impact force actually smashed the barrel into two, splashing countless sparks.

The nearby Uighurs were also affected, and one soldier fell to the ground in pain from the sparks from the barrel of the cannon, clutching his eyes and screaming. The rest of the soldiers were either hit by the lead bullets that jumped up again, or they were hit by broken barrels and wounded in the foot, and they were killed and wounded, and they suddenly lost their combat effectiveness.

There was a sudden chaos in the vicinity of this artillery, and a gap appeared in the Uighur position, but they quickly found someone to fill it, but because the artillery was destroyed, they could no longer use weapons of such great force, so they had to rely on a group of archers to fill the position.

The Ming army quickly approached, they shouted all kinds of slogans in unison, and the killing sound began to carry the ladder to attack the city wall of Yili Qiangli.

"Build a ladder and attack the city!" With the order of Wang Huchen, who was commanding in front, more than a dozen cloud ladders suddenly leaned against the city wall of Yili Sholi, and the Ming army began to attach ants to the city.

The formation of the Ming army in siege was the same as that of the field period, and it was still the sword and shield soldiers who rushed to the front with shields on their backs, providing armor and protection for their teammates behind.

Sword and shield soldiers climb the city wall is very advantageous, they can put the shield on the top of their heads with one hand, block the arrows shot from the city, stick the knife in the knife bag on the back, and the other hand grasp the ladder to climb up, the well-trained sword and shield hand climbs very fast, they can climb the city wall up to more than ten meters high with all the weapons and equipment in just ten seconds. Of course, this is when the opponent is completely unprotected.

And the sword and axe hands of the Ming army, all of them are well-trained, and those professional military households naturally need not to say, even Zhuang Ding who was recruited from Baojia is also a strict military training, because when they are in the compulsory school, they only study cultural classes in the morning, and in the afternoon, all are cruel military classes, in this cruel military class, climbing the city wall is the most important, because Zhu Ao will take the army of Su to conquer the world in the future, and climbing the city wall is the most commonly used tactic in the attack war.

"Put the ladder up and go!" A hundred households of the Ming army who rushed to the city wall, visually measured the distance, felt that it was almost over, and immediately commanded his soldiers to drive the ladder, he was very glad that he could rush to the front, he wanted to be the first person to climb the city, so that at least it was appropriate to be promoted to a thousand households.

"One, two, hard!" Several Ming soldiers in charge of carrying the ladder quickly erected the ladder and tried to lean against the city wall. However, the first wave of attacks often fails, because the enemy's strength is still there, and the defensive force is still very strong.

As the Ming soldiers erected the ladder to a vertical position, the Uighurs in the city saw this and immediately fired a volley of arrows at them.

Although the Ming army had armor, it was impossible for the armor to protect all parts, and at such a close distance, the heavy arrows of the Uighur army could penetrate the armor of the Ming army. At that time, two Ming soldiers holding the ladder fell to the ground with arrows, one dead and one wounded. The Ming soldier who was shot in the shoulder was lying on the ground screaming in pain, and was quickly pulled aside by his teammates, not afraid of his death, but afraid that he would hinder the siege, like such a fierce battle, it is normal for two people to die, and they can't be committed, crying and crying for this.

Two more Ming soldiers spontaneously caught the ladder, and then with the previous Ming army, they leaned the ladder against the city wall with a "Duang" sound.

"Hurry up, whoever can climb up will be the first merit in this battle, and the official will be promoted to three levels!" The Ming army Baihu, who was in charge of the command in front, shouted excitedly, although he also knew that the danger factor of rushing forward first was very high, but as a hot-blooded soldier, no one could resist the temptation of military merits, so he immediately took a shield and a machete, as a vanguard, and was the first to rush forward.

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot them all! "A commander of the Uighur army, who was standing at the head of the city, was shocked to see this, and the Ming army finally began to occupy the city, and they looked like they were in a hurry to go home and sleep like their wives. If the tens of thousands of Ming troops below were allowed to climb to the top of the city, then there would be no need to fight this battle, and they could only become ghosts under the sword of the Ming army. The instinct for survival spurred him and his men to fight desperately to resist the attack of the Ming army.

When the Uighur commander heard the order, a platoon of archers immediately stood at the head of the city, bent their bows and arrows, and aimed at the Ming army who was struggling to climb below, although the first Ming army held a shield and could not shoot through, but he could only protect directly above, and their flanks could not be protected, so the experienced Uighur archers picked both sides of the ladder and fired arrows from the diagonal top of the Ming army, focusing on the vulnerable flanks of the Ming army.

However, just as they were in their positions, they suddenly heard several loud bangs, bangs, bangs, bangs, and then, many of the Uighur archers in the row at the head of the city had a huge blood hole in their bodies, or their arms and legs were directly broken, and blood flowed.

It was the arquebus that the Ming army had just equipped was in effect, and this kind of sharp firearms that were beyond the times Zhu Ao naturally refused to let them continue to hide in the snow, anyway, Lao Zhu should be hanging up now, so he simply took them out to strengthen the army's heart.

Seeing this scene, the Uighur army on the city wall was immediately dumbfounded, they really saw that the firearms in the hands of the Ming army were placed at least thirty paces away from them, and their range had already exceeded the firearms of the Ming army that they were familiar with in their daily lives.

Moreover, those firearms are operated by one person, unlike the previous firearms and the guns need to be operated by two people, what is the situation? Could it be that the Ming army has developed a killing weapon with great lethality?

The Uighur army was in a panic, and the Ming army on the ladder seized the opportunity to climb upwards in an attempt to conquer the Uighur capital, Yili Sholi.

However, in the end, the Uighurs were a century-old power, and the foundation of them was not comparable to the emerging aristocracy of Warat, and the Uighur army could be regarded as a well-trained and combat-effective force, which once made the countries of the Western Regions fearful, but over the years, it was unlucky, and it was sandwiched between the two empires of the Ming and Timur, and its strength was gradually consumed, which led to today's end.

In the face of a critical moment, the Uighurs quickly adjusted their formation, and the front row of soldiers quickly picked up the few remaining piles of rolling wood and stones on the city walls and threw them down.

The damage of the rolling boulder to the climbing soldiers is huge, and a large boulder falling from the sky will not be able to withstand even if it hits the shield you are holding.

The moment the Uighur rolling wood and rocks fell, all you could hear was "Bang! With a bang, it smashed on the shield of the Ming army, and the body of the Ming army who took the lead in charging was shocked, and the hand holding the shield was shaken, and the body really couldn't withstand the force of the boulder's fall, and fell straight down.

One of the pikemen behind him was also affected, and was caught by the force of the fall, and then fell straight down the wall, and they were still secretly scolding their bad luck, but the next moment they began to rejoice, for they saw that the fate of those companions who did not fall was even worse.

When the Uighurs saw that the shield soldiers had fallen, they organized a new group of archers to shoot arrows at the city, and the sharp heavy arrows shot down condescendingly, which caught the Ming pikemen who were climbing below off guard.

However, the Ming army was a strong army, and did not be discouraged by this, and quickly organized a second wave of attacks, still led by sword and shield soldiers, and the attacking team quickly began to climb the city walls.

At this time, the Ming archers and arquebusiers who reacted also began to project various long-range weapons on the city, so as to suppress the Uighur archers who stood on the top of the city and condescendingly released their arrows.

The Uighur archers at the head of the city were immediately killed and wounded, and the firepower was suppressed, but the Uighurs did not stop there, and a centurion looked at the Ming army desperately climbing under the city, and shouted anxiously: "Oil pot!" Bring the pan up and give them a bath! ”

Several Uighur soldiers under the protection of the sword and shield hands, very difficult to bring up a pot of oil, this is the only weapon to deal with the siege troops, as soon as the oil pot arrives, a sea of fire, not only can destroy the current siege troops, but also make other people dare not go forward, it is really the only choice to defend the city.
