Chapter 9 Twists and Turns

The night was dark and foggy, and the fierce battle in the west of Fengyang City was in full swing, and the sound of shouting and killing resounded in the sky. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Kou army that rushed to the city and used arrows to suppress the Ming army at the head of the city, while quickly rushing up the ladder with its body in mind.

Many Kou soldiers with swords in their mouths and shields on their shoulders gritted their teeth and rushed towards the city quickly.

On the head of the West City Gate, Zhang Tang, who was holding a Yanling knife, was always in the forefront, leading a group of Ming troops to slash and kill the Kou army that had just rushed to the city and had not yet gained a firm foothold.

Lacking the suppression of artillery, the large rear troops of the Kou army, which were originally frightened by the artillery, took advantage of the dumb fire of the Ming army's artillery and quickly rushed towards Fengyang City.

The current situation is very critical, and the west city of Fengyang City is about to be broken by the Kou army.

At this moment, in the shocked eyes of all the Ming troops in the city, I saw Han Yu rushing to the side of a Hongyi cannon, taking off his pants as if no one was around, and peeing on the muzzle of the hot artillery, and suddenly a burst of green smoke rose.

"What are you doing in a daze, why don't you take off your pants and pee quickly!" Han Yu shouted loudly while lifting his pants.

The Ming army suddenly realized, and finally understood that Han Yu planned to use this method to cool down the artillery, and they all concocted it in the same way, and with a burst of unpleasant steam rising, the chamber that was originally hot due to the long-term firing of projectiles gradually cooled down.

A group of Ming artillerymen immediately filled the projectile, calibrated the orientation and immediately opened fire.

Because of the large number of Kou troops, the road was only so wide, and they had to avoid the deep pit traps outside the city, and at the same time, when they were attacking before, the flow of people quickly gathered together, and once the Ming army opened fire in such a densely populated situation, it would inevitably cause huge casualties.

However, these Kou troops who have been fighting with the Ming army all the year round are very experienced, and they know very well that although the artillery of the Ming army is huge, it is easy to overheat and explode after firing continuously for a long time, and it will take a while to cool down.

It's just that the head of Fengyang City suddenly made a loud noise of cannons, as well as the projectiles whistling in the sky, which completely made the Kou troops who were huddled together and charging towards the city head at full speed dumbfounded.

The whistling projectiles smashed into the crowded Kou army, and with the loud sound of the earth-shattering shock, the sky-rushing flames collapsed one after another, each time the fire rose into the sky, and every violent explosion roared, there were always more than 100 people who fell to the ground, the plasma cracked, and the stumps were thrown away.

The Kou army was completely blinded by the high-intensity offensive of the Ming army, and from time to time the corpses of their companions who were blown to pieces flew into the sky, looking at the unreachable city wall in the distance, Zhang Xianzhong's Chinese army and rear army, which originally planned to rush to the Fengyang City Gate, were timid, and began to flee beyond the range of artillery under the order of the main general, and quickly gave up this senseless act of sending them to death.

Zhang Xianzhong's Chinese army and rear army, which were bombarded by artillery one after another, scattered and fled after paying a heavy price, and let the officers shout loudly and did not move, in fact, those officers who supervised the war were also pretentious, and no one wanted to be cannon fodder.

It's just that the reinforcements suddenly dispersed, completely hurting the front army of the Kou army that had rushed to Fengyang City.

The front army to which the Kou army belonged, but at the beginning, he received Zhang Xianzhong's death order to attack with all his might, looking at the ruthless supervision team behind him, thinking that even if he escaped back, he would have to endure the torture of peeling and cramping, and the front army crowded under the city wall could only rush up.

It's just that the Kou army under Fengyang City is helpless, the originally small siege ladders have been basically exhausted, and the only remaining ladders and lassoes can not meet the needs of the large army attacking the city at the same time, although they realize that there are not many Ming troops defending the city, but the towering Fengyang City makes it impossible for the Kou army to move forward.

Just in front of the city gate of the fierce battle, suddenly from Fengyang City, from east to west there are dense footsteps, in the city for a long time fierce battle of the Ming army suddenly overjoyed, I believe that it must be the garrison led the troops to arrive.

Several Ming soldiers who were carrying cannonballs greeted them with joy, and with a scream that broke through the air, the original smile of the Ming army who walked in front suddenly froze on his face, and his face was full of astonishment and slowly looked down at the chest through which the arrow pierced, and blood was constantly spilling.

The sound of breaking the sky sounded one after another, and seven or eight Ming soldiers who met them fell in a pool of blood one after another, and they didn't understand why the reinforcements would kill them until they died.

Soon the figures in the darkness were faintly recognizable, the number was actually not much, only fifteen or sixteen people, these people were armed with blades and crossbow arrows, they were dressed in ordinary people's sackcloth, and they all accelerated their pace and rushed towards the city, obviously these people were the Kou army who had mixed into Fengyang City.

If these people are not worried in peacetime, but now all the troops are put into defending the city, and not a single soldier can be distinguished, if it is a front and rear attack, the Ming army, which does not have many troops, cannot hold the west gate at all.

The city gate was carefully struck from behind, and the balance of victory tilted in favor of the Kou army.

Zhang Tanghuai, who was covered in blood, had a hideous face, raised his knife and slashed over a Kou army who had climbed to the top of the city, and looked coldly at the still brightly lit garrison mansion, and his heart was very anxious, why the reinforcements were still delayed.

"Brother Zhang, you defend the city, and I will resist these Kou troops!" Han Yu, who had a straight face, said very firmly to Zhang Tanghuai.

"Over to you!"

Although he didn't know what Han Yu could do, Zhang Tanghuai instinctively believed that the Han brother in front of him who had repeatedly created miracles.

"Everybody help me!"

In the unbelievable eyes of the surrounding Ming army, Han Yu quickly took off his shirt and wrapped it around his hand, and reached out to hold the hot muzzle, although there was a heat insulation in his clothes, but soon the hot breath penetrated, Han Yu only felt a sharp pain in his palm, but Han Yu gritted his teeth and insisted, without making the slightest sound.

Although the surrounding Ming troops didn't know what Han Yu planned to do, they also did the same, wrapped their clothes and turned the muzzle.

It's just that when the muzzle of the cannon was aimed at the direction of the Kou army, the surrounding Ming troops also guessed Han Yu's plan, but these armor soldiers were not optimistic about this idea, not to mention that such a close distance could not control the recoil of the artillery, even if it was aiming, it was impossible to kill and injure the Kou army, which was already very close.

Although Han Yu's decisiveness and whimsy made the Ming troops defending the city secretly admire, it was obviously unreliable to use artillery that could not control the recoil and was difficult to aim at to hit the Kou army close to the Kou army.

It's just that Han Yu didn't charge the artillery against the quasi-Kou army who came over, but put the muzzle of the cannon on the stone steps of the city wall.

Han Yu sat on the ground, holding the cannon chamber tightly with his legs and arms, and several other gunners did the same, the hot cannon chamber was attached to the flesh wound, and suddenly a muffled sound sounded.

Han Yu endured the scorching pain all over his body, and said eagerly at the Ming gunners on the side: "Hurry up, immediately fill the medicine and fire!" ”

At this time, the Kou army who rushed to the head of the city to kill was meticulous, seeing that a group of Ming soldiers were actually stupidly holding hot artillery, and secretly sighed that these guys had gone crazy, and they opened fire without a gun mount, even if they stood there and let the Ming army fire shells, they couldn't hit accurately.

With the ignition, the whistling projectile burst out.

The strong impact force directly rushed Han Yu out of the distance, slammed into the wall, the strong pain in his back almost made Han Yu faint, panting heavily, Han Yu, who was huddled on the ground, kept wailing in pain, and the other Ming troops who assisted in holding the artillery were not happy, they were blown out by the impact force, and fell to the side wailing again and again.

The whistling projectile slammed into the stone steps leading to the city, and with a loud sound of earth-shattering, the fire burst out, the city shook for a while, and the billowing smoke rose up, and the strong impact wind even overturned several defenders of the city not far away.

The smoke cleared, and the only road to the city was blasted open by shells, and from time to time broken masonry fell downward.

The distance between the broken stone steps was several people high, and the Kou army who rushed to the city was dumbfounded.

They are not immortals, they can't fly, and it is a complete fool's dream to capture the city.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves trampling came from the bluestone streets in the distance in the city, and Zhu Guozheng, who quickly rushed out of the dark garrison, took the lead with his sword in his hand, and led the light cavalry to gallop first.

The Kou army, who originally planned to take the head of the city with the outside world, saw that the general situation was gone, and hurriedly fled to the other side, but their footsteps were comparable to the cavalry, and they were soon beheaded by the cavalry who caught up with their swords, and immediately blood splattered, and the headless corpse fell to the ground with a bang.
