Chapter 674: Poor People, There Must Be Their Hateness!
Looking down from the city, under the city of Luoyang, the black and oppressive thieves and horses seem to be spread all the way to the end of heaven and earth......
Li Zicheng saw that the striker was successful, the artillery team was powerful, and most of the whole army without any consideration was pressed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
For a time, a sea of human heads appeared.
Under the entire Luoyang city, from the corner of the city wall to the south city wall, there are running soldiers and horses everywhere.
Above and below the city, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and cannons and arrows were flying. In the loud noise, each other's rockets were fired at each other, and there were artillery fires at each other. There are arrows shooting, swords and shadows, distorted faces, and blood scattered.
Individual power is really not worth mentioning at such a time.
What peerless martial arts masters, in this kind of slashing with thousands of troops and horses, desperately not afraid of death, are all cannon fodder-like existences. If you are strong, you are super cannon fodder, and whether you can live or not depends on luck and ability.
The number of thieves besieging artillery was beyond the expectations of the soldiers and civilians of Luoyang, and later, there were torches transported from afar, and there were more than 100 guns.
Under the cover of such fire, even a pig can have a chance to rush to the city wall.
Not to mention hundreds of thousands of humans?
Of course, not all thieves can go up to the walls. After all, an old man, a woman, a child, some men with poor physique, these people seem to be unable to go up. Even if you let them go up, you don't have the strength and ability to go up the city wall.
Unless the gates are slammed open!
However, Luoyang City is a city within a city, with multiple city gates, and it is really useless to blast one open.
In addition, as long as the artillery on the city wall is not completely muted, and the city defense does not collapse, it is unrealistic to want to blast open the city gate first and enter the city from the road, seriously, for the time being.
There are still a few thieves, and it is more realistic to fight on the city wall to enter the city.
Besides, you don't have any other preparations when Li Zicheng?
How is this possible, no, many flying bridge wooden frames, as soon as they saw that the firepower on the city pass was suppressed, they immediately pushed up from behind.
The flying bridge is a kind of equipment to ensure the siege troops pass through the moat outside the city, also known as the "trench bridge". It can also be used on top of the city wall!
The flybridge is simple to make, with two long logs nailed to the top and two wooden wheels mounted below for easy handling. It is recorded in "Liutao": "There is a gate for crossing the ditch and flying bridge, which is one foot five feet wide and more than two feet long. ”
The defenders of the city couldn't imagine that the thieves would make a flying bridge, and many people were stunned.
In fact, it's easy to think about it, the IQ of human beings is about the same, and this is not a high-tech item.
If there is a sample imitation, it can be easily made.
Didn't you see, the thieves behind you, even the ladder trucks were pushed over countless times?
The ladder belonged to the war equipment in ancient times, and was used to climb over the city wall and siege equipment. Ancient ladders, some types of wheels under them, can be pushed to drive, so also called "ladder car", equipped with shields, winch, grappling hooks and other equipment, some with pulley lifting equipment.
Seeing countless cloud ladders leaning against the city, even Li Zilong and the others had a big change in their faces.
However, this is the general trend, and Zhu Jiajun can't stop it. In front of the black pressure of the entrenchment and the flow of people, although the soldiers of the Zhu family army were nervous, they were not chaotic at all, just clenched the bayonets and grenades in their hands.
The intruders stopped after the last round of artillery bombardment, because the trench bridges had already begun to build bridges over the moat, and if they bombarded again, they would injure their own sergeants by mistake.
In addition, some of their own people have gone up to the city wall, so naturally they can't fire cannons.
As a result, the Luoyang artillery team, which had been unable to bombard the enemy, breathed a sigh of relief. Only they can stand on the city wall, otherwise they can only lie on their stomachs!
Soon, with the help of the ladder truck, the thieves who were originally only a small part of the upper city wall began to come up on a large scale. Suddenly, it was their crazy eyes and hideous expressions.
Large-scale hand-to-hand combat is no longer inevitable!
However, Luoyang City has a city within a city, and there are still city walls on the city wall, and the defenders and Zhu Jiajun immediately retreated to the second layer of the high city wall for a while, so that they can still hold the high ground.
Playing high, after all, it is still dominant.
"Listen to the order, throw the lime!"
The defenders began to throw ash and sand, and the lime powder spread, and for a time there was a white mist under the city walls, and on the first layer of the city walls.
There were countless people who were recruited, and many soldiers and soldiers threw everything in their hands, rolling and howling on the ground with their eyes covered.
"My eyes...... Ah, it hurts! ”
As the saying goes, take advantage of your illness to kill you. At this time, no fire, no arrows, wait for when.
Immediately, the Zhu family army and the defenders of the Ming Dynasty, those who shoot, those who shoot arrows, those who throw ashes, and those who throw ashes, regardless of the hit rate (the dust is so big that you can only fire by feeling)!
The guard general Wang Yinchang shouted the order: "Hit the stone, launch." ”
So, on the first layer of the city wall with a specified area, piles of stones of different sizes were piled down, just tilting down. Don't aim, because there's nowhere to hide on the walls, either get smashed or you jump off the walls.
Not long after, many intruders who were scurrying around, in dense positions, plus dusty skies, and could not see clearly, were directly hit by the thrown stones.
Hitting stones is also light, weighing dozens of catties, and the weight can reach more than 100 kilograms.
Double is from top to bottom, from high to low acceleration. Many of the intruders were hit in the head, and were even smashed into rotten flesh at once, and the people behind were also smashed to the point of vomiting blood and fractures. Even fell directly off the first layer of the city wall!
After only half an hour, the walls were full of stones, and there was no place to stand.
The thieves, whose previous courage had disappeared, ran backwards one after another.
Whether it was a hungry soldier or a foot soldier, they all threw down the ladder or weapon shield in their hands and fled back like headless flies. The situation is pressing!
Under the crowd, there was a mess, and I didn't know how many people trampled on their own people on the spot.
Seeing the hope of victory, the city wall was held again, and the Ming army in the city cheered. The soldiers of the Zhu family army also cheered!
Finally, the first wave of the invasion ended in failure.
Outside the city, there were corpses and wounded people, all kinds of stumps and broken arms, and piles of flesh and mud parts. Many of the bodies were in the shape of fragments, apparently trampled to death while fleeing for their lives, as well as ladders that had been thrown to the ground. Witnessing, the first time the two sides met, how tragic it was!
The disgusting smell of blood, wafting in the wind, makes people smell sick.
Not only that, but there were also many thieves in the city who broke their hands and feet by rocks, injured their bodies, or blinded by lime. They were powerless to run away, but sat with tears in their eyes and waited for their deaths. screamed one by one, but at this time, it looked very pitiful.
Truly a wretched man, there must be something hateful.
Self-inflicted iniquity, unforgiving!
On the city wall, many of the defenders of Luoyang were militiamen, and even killed people for the first time, and after cheers, there was calm.
Looking at the tragic situation under the city, these people who came back to their senses began to vomit. Some people even vomit until they can't even vomit bile!
Li Zilong and the others silently looked at the outside of the city, it was they who had been fighting for a long time, and their minds were as hard as iron, and they saw such a miserable situation outside the city at this time. It is also a lot of sighs, and I can't stop sighing for a while!
As soon as I relaxed, I felt that my muscles were sore, and many skin injuries were bleeding, so I began to treat each other.
The nurses also began to move around, and the seriously wounded soldiers were carried down the city wall on the spot.
The people of Luoyang spontaneously came to help. The army and the people are united!
