Chapter 330: Offensive and Defensive Battles of the Ordnance Division

"Brother Jiang, our parapet is really strong enough, it was a general's cannon just now, there are ten of them." The crow lowered his voice and sighed with emotion.

"Needless to say? This is the wall built by Brother Xie, it was built as a city wall in the first place, and the general cannon is also not easy to use, if they want to break this wall, they will have to work at least a few nights, haha. Jiang Bin stomped on the parapet under his feet and said with a smile.

There are also some general cannons in Xuanfu Town, which are placed at the head of Xuanfu City to defend the city, Jiang Bin has also seen it, this thing is not very easy to use to hit people, unless the enemy is densely lined up, and then you have to have patience and courage to wait for the gunner to aim, otherwise a cannon can not hit a few people.

But it is very useful to smash the wall with this thing, and an ordinary fort will have to be smashed out of a big hole after a few shots, and if it hits the city gate, it will be even worse, and it will definitely fall in response. But it's such a sharp weapon, it's so close, and the parapet wall under your feet doesn't even shake, it's really strong.

When Xie Hong confessed to him, Jiang Bin was still a little skeptical, he didn't know how to judge how strong the wall was, but he knew the power of the general cannon. Even if Xie Hong explained to him the so-called inclined plane principle, he still had doubts in his heart, but after two rounds of shelling, the doubts in his heart were also swept away, and he became full of confidence again.

"No matter how strong the wall is, it's also a turtle shell, if you want me to say, it's better to go out and kill for a while, which is our opponent of those wastes in Jingying? Lord Xie is now fighting hard in the Forbidden City, let's kill all the miscellaneous people in front of us, it makes sense to hurry in and help. The monk touched his bald head, very unimpressed.

If it weren't for the casualties of the brothers stationed on the wall, he even felt that it would be better for the parapet to be blasted open.

Lord Xie and the emperor are so good to everyone, but at such a critical time, everyone can only nest in the Ordnance Department and be artillery, so that Lord Xie can only rely on a group of hairy boys to fight hard, how can this be true? Good iron should be used on the blade, isn't it time for everyone to serve their deaths and repay the kindness of adults?

"Idiot, who told you that Jingying is all rubbish?" Jiang Bin knocked the monk with his hand, and pointed outside: "The monkeys have explored before entering the palace, and what is hidden in the Governor's Mansion is not only the Shenji Battalion, but also the Three Thousand Battalion, and those barbarians brought horses!" Just waiting to calculate us, lead the brothers out to fight the cavalry? Are you crazy? ”

He pointed at the general's cannon again, "That thing just hit the parapet wall built by Brother Xie, you think it doesn't seem to be of any use, try it on you?" Besides, there are a lot of weapons in the Shenji Battalion, and you haven't seen the ones that Brother Xie bought, in this narrow street, if the people from the Shenji Battalion suddenly appear and fire a salvo, the brothers will not have to suffer heavy casualties? ”

"Moreover, Brother Xie's family members and those craftsmen are all in this Ordnance Division! Needless to say, those craftsmen are also grateful for the treasures of the brothers, let's kill them, what should these people do? Do you use your brain? Brother Xie asked us to keep it steady, then we will guard it, the things in the palace, Brother Xie will naturally have a way, why should you worry? ”

Although Jiang Bin's tone was not good, the monk and others were familiar with him, so how could they not hear the anxiety in his heart? But what he said is all reasonable, even the most eager monk can only keep silent after hearing it, it is indeed like that, if they are only a thousand people, of course, there will be heavy casualties if they break through, but eighty percent can also stand out, but what to do at home?

The monk scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "Then listen to Lord Xie and the eldest brother, let's just keep it well." ”

"You must not take it lightly, the defensive task here is also quite heavy." While a few people were discussing, another clear voice sounded, "You must know that there are nearly 10,000 people besieging here, all of them are elite, and there are no wise people among the scholars. ”

"Tang Dacai, don't talk about it, for the past ten days, you have to read it in someone's ear several times every day, and you are almost annoyed to death." Hearing this voice, Scarface didn't look back, and immediately there was a wail, the voice was miserable, and he didn't even let out such a scream when he was snatched away by his brothers from his North Korean show girl.

Tang Bohu smiled slightly: "Brother Xie has instructed Bohu to let Bohu must assist General Jiang well, although Bohu is not familiar with military affairs, but he still has to fulfill his duties." ”

In fact, at the beginning, he pulled Jiang Bin to persuade him completely because he was nervous, don't look at him older than Xie Hong, but he had never experienced such a big scene at all, especially when he knew that there were tens of thousands of horses outside, his legs were a little weak.

But Jiang Bin and the others all looked eager to try, and they had no choice but to persuade Scarface not to be impulsive. So, persuaded and persuaded, Jiang Bin changed from an attitude similar to that of a monk to what he is now, and Tang Bohu himself was not nervous, even if he heard two rounds of cannons, he still remained calm and calm.

"Monk, there are not so many people standing on the parapet, you take five hundred people to the door and wait, if there is a chance, we will rush out and fight back; The rest of the brothers left a hundred men in each direction; Crow, you carry a bow and arrows and move your hand; So-and-so just watched the wall and saw what tricks they could come up with. ”

Jiang Bin is the general of the battlefield, although he is talking, but he has been paying attention to the movement outside, seeing the torches on the opposite side shaking, and the enemy army has a new movement, he also sent out a series of orders, and then stopped talking, just staring at the enemy.

"Okay." Hearing that he was going to fight back, the monk was happy, grinned and answered, and went to gather people.

However, Tang Bohu was a little worried, he saw that Jiang Bin was watching the enemy intently, and it was not easy to disturb, so he asked the crow: "Brother Wu, our manpower is already tight, wouldn't it be good to send more people to guard the wall, why go out to fight back, there are many enemies outside, wouldn't it be bad if the brothers who went out fell into the enemy formation?" ”

"Mr. Tang, do you know, the other sides are ordinary regimental camps, although there are a lot of people, but the threat is not big, our parapet wall is not too long, a hundred brothers can defend it. The Shenji Battalion is a big problem, although they can't break the wall, but it is difficult to ensure that they have no other means, not to mention, the defense of the city can't just be stuffy, we have to stay back to fight back. ”

The crow still has a lot of respect for Tang Bohu, and he politely explained: "In addition, Lord Xie has also prepared a lot of countermeasures for us, if we can really take the opportunity to hit the main force of the Beijing camp in one fell swoop, maybe we can also enter the Forbidden City and help Lord Xie." ”

"I see." Tang Bohu suddenly realized: "Brother Wu, is the method you said also the one that Brother Li and they are preparing?" ”

"Zheng ......" The crow nodded, and was about to answer, but suddenly heard Jiang Bin shout: "It's coming!" Scarface then shouted in a deep voice: "Crow, let people send Mr. Tang down." ”

Tang Bohu was suddenly startled, and when he looked out, he saw that there were fires flashing inside and outside the yamen of the Governor's Mansion, and it was obvious that a large group of people were moving. In the past, in order to guard against the bows and arrows of the fans, only some torches were fixed on the courtyard wall of the Governor's Mansion, but now this posture is obviously about to be attacked head-on.

"The ladders have all moved out, hey, I thought that the people in Beijing were all the same characters as General Meng, but I didn't want to have some handles." Jiang Bin sneered, suddenly slapped the wall, and said sharply: "It's good to come, what I'm afraid of is that you don't move, since you dare to come, let you come and go." ”

"Shoot the arrows! Free Fire! "There are a lot of archery masters in the border army, plus the rough ones, there are nearly three hundred people in total, and Jiang Bin has placed one hundred of them with the highest skills at the east gate, which has already caused considerable damage to the Beijing outside before. At this time, seeing that the other party put on a posture of attacking aggressively, he also did not hesitate to go-for-tat.

Jiang Bin was not born in a professional class, so he didn't have much research on the arrow formation, and just let his subordinates play freely. If it was Bai Yueli, according to the practice of the border army, they would look for generals to shoot them, but now it is night, although the torches are very bright, but if they want to find generals in such visibility, it is indeed a bit difficult, so they are also scattered at will.

It is said that it is casual, but the archery skills practiced in the battlefield are extraordinary, every round of arrow rain can bring down a large number of soldiers in the Beijing camp, and those who are driven out to attack the city are all regimental soldiers, morale and combat power are not very high, and after being hit head-on, they immediately hesitate.

"Sure enough, it's a bunch of waste." After the crow sent Tang Bohu down, he turned around and came back, and when he saw the scene of Jingying retreating, he couldn't help laughing.

"No, they should have other plans, let the brothers be careful and don't ignore it." Jiang Bin shook his head solemnly, there are many archers on his side, and the enemy should know very well, since they dare to put on an offensive posture, they will always have something to rely on.

It's just because of Shangguan's urging that he went crazy and desperately? There is such a possibility, but Jiang Bin will not think so, at such a critical juncture, underestimating the enemy is seeking his own death.

"Shield?" Under the influence of Jiang Bin, the crow also took it seriously, and when he watched the enemy after the order, he saw a column of sergeants flashing behind the enemy's troops attacking the city, all holding a large shield with a height of one person, which was obviously used to defend against arrows.

"It's a bit useful, but can they carry a shield to attack the city?" The crow said to herself.

Jiang Bin ignored the crow, but his eyes were blazing, but his expression was more solemn, and when he saw a few rows of people hidden behind the shield array, he suddenly realized the other party's intentions, he pressed down the crow, and then shouted an order: "Hide!" Then he also bowed down.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! There was a sound of fried beans exploding, and the wall of the Ordnance Division was splashed with rubble, and the opposite side was filled with smoke.

"The firecrackers of the Shenji Battalion?" The crow raised its head slightly and looked outward. Fortunately, Jiang Bin found it in time, and it was difficult to get accurate in the dark night, so there were no casualties among the fans, but if they got up and shot, it would be different, the other party was hiding behind the shield array, and there was also cover.

"They don't use this thing, after a round, it will take a long time to reload, just clean them up!" The crow's archery skills are also good, seeing that the firecracker retreated to load ammunition, he straightened his waist, and was about to get up and return the color, but he was immediately pulled down by Jiang Bin.

"Hide, don't get up at will, without an order." Jiang Bin broke off again.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

The fans mainly use cold weapons in the border towns, and they are not very familiar with the tactics of firearms, this time, some people did not react and rashly straightened up...... As a result, in the ensuing round of firearms, the border army suffered casualties for the first time since entering Beijing.

"Damn, three-stage round shooting, Brother Xie obviously said it a few times, why did he forget it!" Seeing that someone of his brother had fallen, Jiang Bin hated it in his heart, he slapped the ground heavily, and said hatefully.
