The battle at Shapozi was at a stalemate.

After the initial heavy artillery fire of the coalition forces, the use of explosives gradually subsided, and the Manchurian soldiers slowly eased.

Strictly speaking, the coalition forces did not cut the Shimen waterway into sections. If you're lucky, the Manchurian foot soldiers could have rushed under the sand slopes. However, it was no longer possible for Manchurian chariots and horses to pass through Shapozi, and the various vehicles and corpses that were flipped under Shapozi became a roadblock to death.

The cannons on the platform were changed from one to three, blocking the Shimen waterway at different angles. However, bombs were limited, and the cannons were more often throwing stones and stakes.

The greatest threat to the Manchurian soldiers under the platform was a group of dragons and birds led by Li Guang. Unhurried, they lay on the edge of the platform, patiently searching for worthy targets, and then opened fire together.

The red-coated cannon was intercepted by the coalition forces, and Zilharang was red-eyed, and he frantically organized the Manchurian soldiers to attack the platform from the rear of Shapozi.

On the mesa, it was Sun Dingliao who played against Jierharang. In order to save explosives, Sun Dingliao generally used traditional methods to fight back against the Manchurian attack.

Sun Dingliao seemed to have returned to Dalinghe City, and he loudly encouraged the soldiers around him: "Brothers, the Manchurian soldiers forced us to eat human flesh, and we fucking let them eat shit today!" ”

Guarding the hillside behind the platform was a group of men and horses from the third battalion, and the veterans among them were all from the Daling River. Sun Yi ordered not to inquire about what happened during the siege of Daling River. But this matter is like a big rock in the chest of the veterans, and in the dead of night, they will always be overwhelmed.

Vice General Sun turned over this old incident, which was no less than a stab in the heart of a veteran, and the scar that had pretended to have healed began to drip blood again.

"Brethren, we have finally made it to this day!" , Sun Dingliao shouted loudly, "Today is our chance to repay the debt!" Prove to the dead comrades that their flesh and blood were not fed to the dogs! ”

The veterans of the Da Linghe were all pale, gritting their back molars, lifting stones and smashing them at the Manchurian soldiers who were climbing the slope.

Seeing the Manchurian armored soldiers climbing the slope, Zilharang was afraid, and immediately sacrificed the magic weapon of the Eight Banners. Zilharan's guards stood in a line at the bottom of the slope with bows and arrows, and fired arrows dipped in cinnabar at the armor that lagged behind on the slope.

According to the rules of the Eight Banners, after the war, all those with red dots on their backs were subject to military law, and their families were reduced to slaves.

The armoured soldiers attacked with a shock.

Seeing that Manchuria was wearing more and more armor and getting closer and closer, Sun Dingliao ordered: "Let go of the rolling wood!" ”

The man lifted the log of eight or nine feet long with the thickness of the bowl, shouted a trumpet and threw it over the low wall. The log rolled down the steep slope, crashing into the Manchurian armor along the way.

Unmoved by the casualties, Zilharang urged more Manchurians to climb the slope. He was exchanging the lives of the Manchurian soldiers for the allied forces to consume the defensive equipment.

Although there were trees and stones on the wild hill behind the Shapozi platform, the speed at which the logs and stones could be replenished could not match the speed at which Zilharang threw in Manchuria. For a time, the Manchurian armor was getting closer and closer to the low wall held by the coalition forces.

The anxious recruit picked up his bow and shot it. The arrows clanged into the cotton armor of the Manchurian soldiers, who were often shot to a stumbling stumbling block. However, the arrows were helpless against the iron leaves in the cotton armor, and the Manchurian soldiers who were shot down got up and continued to climb.

Seeing that the armored soldiers were about to reach the top, a few straw bale mines suddenly threw from behind the low wall, jumping down the steep slope. Just when the straw bag mine was about to approach the Manchurian armor soldiers, the momentum of the straw bag mine's fall was stopped abruptly!

It turned out that each straw bale was held by a hemp rope.

The fuse hissed and smoked, the coalition forces behind the low wall released ropes, and the straw bale mines fell into the crowd of Manchurian soldiers.

"Boom" exploded a few times, and suddenly flesh and blood flew everywhere.

The flying corpse turned into a heavy object and fell down, causing a chain reaction.

The psychological blow to the Manchurian soldiers was far greater than the physical blow, and the fear of death and corpse permeated the hillside.

"Thunderbolt—"

"Thunderbolt—"

"Thunderbolt—"

On the platform, a group of dragons and birds led by Li Guang came to support Sun Dingliao.

The two Zilharang guards who were overseeing the battle fell to the ground.

Zilharang ordered the escort to retreat. As soon as the guards moved, the Manchurian armor on the slope receded like a tide.

Zilharang was so angry that he ordered the guards to pull out the armor with red dots on their backs and correct the Dharma in front of the two armies.

In this way, Jierharang and Sun Dingliao repeatedly fought on the steep slope behind Shapozi, but Jierharang was never able to take a step forward until Yue Tuo arrived from the north of Shapozi for reinforcements.

Yue Tuo was originally the vanguard of the retreating army, and when he heard that the team was cut off, Yue Tuo immediately led the escort army back.

But how easy is it to march backwards in the Shimen Waterway after the rain?

The closer Yue Tuo got to Shapozi, he found that the situation became more chaotic, with carts and dead bodies blocking the road, and the Manchurian soldiers had long been out of formation.

Yue Tuo cleared the roadblocks all the way, forced the whole army all the way, gathered a group of men and horses and finally returned to Shapozi, and immediately cooperated with Zilharang on the steep slope in front of the platform to attack.

Sun Dingliao then ordered Li Guang to command the defense of the low wall in front.

The Manchurian troops flanked the front and rear, and the supply of equipment for the allied forces to defend the city was immediately tight, and Sun Dingliao and Li Guang had to use bombs and tear gas frequently. The cannons and ballistas on the platform shifted the focus from blocking the Shimen waterway to reinforcing the defense on both sides, and the people changed from assisting in the defense to directly participating in the defense.

The battle was extremely fierce, and in just one hour, the corpses of Manchurian soldiers were strewn all over the field under the platform, and the defenders on the platform ran out of explosives.

The Manchurian attack was never interrupted, and as soon as one wave was repulsed, another immediately climbed up, giving the defenders no time to breathe.

The defenders were forced to use sandbags to construct low walls as weapons. The sacks filled with sediment were pushed down the steep slope and smashed several Manchurian attacks in succession.

The sandbags were quickly depleted.

The Manchurian soldiers climbed the steep slope again.

Sun Dingliao ordered the cannon to be dismantled and the log of the cannon to be used as a rolling log.

The three cannons that the people had painstakingly built were dismantled, and the timber was cut into a zhang long and transported to the front and rear positions.

Without a low wall, it is convenient to put rolling wood. The rolling log fell, once again smashing back the Manchurian attack.

Li Guang suddenly noticed that the flag spear erected on the helmet of a Manchurian warrior at the bottom of the slope was a foot high, and the red tassels on the flag spear were longer than the others'.

Li Guang estimated that this was a general, so he beckoned to come to the dragon and bird hand, and several people aimed together.

Several bird guns sounded almost at the same time, and Yue Tuo, who was in the lead, sat on the muddy floor.

A spinning lead seed burrowed into the outside of Yuetuo's left calf from top to bottom, tearing at the skin and muscles and hitting Yuetuo's calf bone.

After Sun Yi's "invented" conical lead seed with a flowering buttocks rotated by rifling, its lethality was much higher than that of spherical lead seeds of this era. Spherical lead seeds usually remain in the body, and their path in the body often turns around due to encounters with muscles or bones. The spinning, conical, lead seed usually passes directly through the body and, if lucky enough to hit the bone, can lead to a comminuted fracture.

Yue Tuo first felt the loss of sensation in his entire left leg, followed by a pain in his heart a moment later, and then his eyes went black, and he entered a protective state of fainting instinctively.

Yue Tuo's guards found that Yue Tuo was still angry, and immediately picked up Yue Tuo and retreated. In Manchurian military law, if the commander advances, the whole army advances, and if the commander retreats, the whole army retreats, and the violator is immediately beheaded. The Manchurian troops in front of Shapozi immediately retreated and temporarily stopped the attack.

Zilharang, who was behind Shapozi, did not know this, and commanded another wave of Manchurian soldiers to climb uphill.

Sun Dingliao had nothing to throw down to block the enemy, and he ordered with red eyes: "All copy guys!" Get ready for battle! ”

The soldiers grabbed their weapons, and the men raised their tools.

The Manchurian soldiers climbed halfway, and for the first time did not encounter the rolling wood and thunder stones of the defenders, they immediately accelerated their climbing speed.

The Manchurian soldiers approached the platform and were met with a fierce bombardment from a row of three-eyed guns. The defenders then leaped out and engaged the surviving Manchurian armoured mentlemen.

Seeing this, Zilharang was overjoyed and immediately arranged for more armored soldiers to climb the slope.

The defenders were condescending, the Manchurian soldiers were heavily armoured, and the advantages of the two sides were offset, and it was difficult to solve for a while.

In the scuffle, a veteran of Da Linghe suddenly threw away his weapon and shouted: "Ergouzi, I didn't eat your meat in vain!" ”

The veteran threw down a Manchurian heavy armor, and the two rolled down the steep slope together, smashing down more than a dozen Manchurian armor along the way.

One person took the lead, and immediately someone imitated it.

The reason why many of the Dalinghe veterans are really alive is that they are waiting for this day, a day that can give an account to the dead brothers.

The veterans pounced on the Manchurian soldiers one after another, and they used their flesh and blood as rolling wood and thunder stones to defeat another attack by Zilharang.

Veterans are not afraid of death, they are just paying a blood debt.

As the saying goes: no debt is light.
