Chapter 210: Qi Jiajun's First Test (II)
Suddenly, there was a "buzzing" sound from under the city, as soon as Liu Chen heard this sound, he knew that it was the sound of the bowstring trembling, but he understood it too late, the sky immediately darkened, and countless arrow feathers rose from under the city.
The arrow feathers thrown from the air flew down at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the sound of "poof" sounded continuously on the city wall in an instant, mixed with the screams of "ahh
Because Liu Chen was standing close to the city wall, Liu Chen's reaction was still relatively agile, and he hurriedly leaned against the wall, Liu Chen dodged this round of projectiles, but there were several young men who followed behind, two of them were shot dead on the spot, and three were injured.
"Quick...... Fast...... Lift it down ......"
"Bang...... Bang......"
Several Tartars took advantage of the chaos brought about by this round of projectiles, jumped directly to the city wall, and slashed with a wave of their knives, and the two young men who were about to carry people suddenly turned their heads in different places, and their blood sprayed on the ground, and several Qi family soldiers reacted at this time, and hurriedly took their weapons and stormed.
The martial arts of the Mongolian Tartars are good, not to mention that they still have a round shield defense in their hands, and several Qi family soldiers can't help them for the time being, and the successive Tartars climb up one after another, and the two guards are already stupid at this time, and they all retreat to the back.
"Array...... Mandarin Duck Array...... Hurry up ......"
Seeing that they couldn't kill these rushing Tartars for a while, the Qi family army hurriedly lined up. The front of the five-person mandarin duck array is a shield hand, and the left and right sides are wolf whizzers, because it is a city defense battle, there is no wolf whizz on this city wall, so it can only be replaced by a spear, and the two pikemen in the back are responsible for mending the knife.
The five soldiers under Liu Chen lined up in a five-person mandarin duck formation in a blink of an eye, and pounced on several Tartars, Liu Chen shouted behind him while rushing:
"Archer...... Free Fire ......"
This time the Tartars are no longer Liu Chen's opponents, their round shield can defend the upper body, but it can't protect the lower body. As soon as these Tartars took away the round shield and swung their knives to slash Liu Chen and them, the archers behind immediately released their arrows, shooting at such a close distance, even the gods couldn't dodge, and the Mongolian Tartar was immediately shot dead on the spot.
The Qi family's mandarin duck formation has gone through countless practices. Maybe the personal martial arts of the Tartars are higher than those of the Qi family's army, but they do not have the slightest advantage in front of the mandarin duck formation with a neat formation and orderly attack and defense. The mandarin duck formation has a miraculous effect against the infantry, but it is slightly insufficient against the cavalry, but the Tartars at this time are complete infantry.
"Ahh ……”
Liu Chen stabbed at the calf of a Tartar, who screamed and blocked with his round shield, which was just an instinctive reaction, and at this time his upper body lost the protection of the round shield. What a Tartar, really brave, I saw that this Tartar didn't care about the bleeding and injured calf, and suddenly pounced on him, and slashed at Liu Chen's skull with the big knife in his hand.
The spear in Liu Chen's hand is the spear used by the Mandarin Duck Array, it is eight feet long, almost five meters four, such a weapon is not suitable for individual hand-to-hand combat. However, the Mandarin Duck Formation is a unit that pays attention to team combat, and the essence lies in the coordination of each long and short weapon.
The Tartar hadn't rushed in front of Liu Chen yet. The two pikemen in the back crossed left and right and stabbed the spears into his body, and the Tartar was directly stabbed out of two blood holes. The same fate was true for the remaining Tartars, who were either stabbed to death or shot to death by archers.
A few other Tartars saw that they were not right, and they turned over and jumped off the city wall. As a result, I only heard a scream from under the city wall, and I wonder if these two Tartars would survive if they jumped from such a high city wall.
"Push the ladder...... Hurry up ......"
Those young men who did not participate in the battle saw that the Tartars who jumped under the city wall were all hacked to death, so they boldly came up with a wooden fork and pushed the ladder that was put on the wall battlement.
These young men haven't pushed it yet! And I heard some people shouting:
"Oooh oh!! The Tartars fled......"
Qi Jin had been watching the whole battle from the lookout at the city gate. Qi's army is a field army, and this siege is also the first time, and Qi Jin has learned a lesson in this tentative attack of the Tartars.
That is, put the Tartar on the city wall to kill, the Tartar who climbed up from the ladder is definitely not the opponent of the Qi family's army Mandarin Duck Formation, the Qi family's army and the Tartar shoot against each other, even if they have the advantage of defending the position, they can't take advantage of it.
What's more, there are not many archers in the Qi family's army, even if you add firecrackers, there are no more than 400 long-range strikers in the Qi family's army, which is a powerful addition to the Mandarin Duck Array, if the Tartars are consumed before the siege, the power of the Mandarin Duck Array will be greatly reduced.
So Qi Jin hurriedly called several major officers over and told them what he thought, and several officers immediately understood what Qi Jin meant.
There is an arrow-proof door panel on this city wall, the Qi family army first hid behind the door panel, and did not go out at all, and the Tartar projectile did not want to hurt them at all, and after the Tartar went on the city wall, the Qi family army rushed out, and the mandarin ducks killed those Tartars who climbed the city wall, and the Tartars under the city could not be throwing bows and arrows, without the unexpected attack of the bow and arrow, the Qi family army was definitely not afraid of the loosely disciplined Tartars.
Haoge and Wu Keshan were also looking at the tentative attack just now, these Ming Dog's tactics, Haoge and Wu Keshan had already seen it, in fact, they thought they had understood, these thousand people had already attacked the city wall, so they should be in full swing next.
Haoge looked at Wu Keshan and said:
"Commander Wu, I don't think these Ming dogs are anything remarkable, Ben Beile still thinks why the bullshit Qi family army is very powerful, it turns out that it is not Erer...... Commander Wu, wait a minute, you will take the whole army to press, Ben Beile is sending a thorn to assist in the attack, we will take Tianjin today. ”
What can Wu Keshan do, cannon fodder must have the consciousness of cannon fodder, fortunately, Haoge still sent 1,500 Manchurian warriors with the blue flag to participate in the attack, these Jianzhou warriors are wearing two layers of cotton armor when they are fighting on foot, and their offensive ability is quite strong.
"Okay, Lord Belle, I'll personally command the siege."
"Then get ready!"
After a while, the Tartars began to press up with the whole army, and this time the Tartars used 12,000 people, such a siege scale, there is no reason not to go down in one go, anyway, Haoge and Wu Keshan thought so in their hearts.
This time there were 12,000 people who came to attack, and Qi Jin saw that the Tartars were so rampant, so he hurriedly asked the herald to order the mobile forces of the Qi family's army to immediately rush to the western city wall for reinforcements. Qi Jin's previous tactic of putting the Tartars on the city wall is obviously not applicable, once so many Tartars rush to the city wall, I am afraid that they will not be able to kill them all, and it is likely that the Qi family army will be pushed back to the city wall, and all Qi Jin can only defend the city according to the traditional method.
The tragic battle for the defense of Tianjin entered a brutal start on the same day, 1,500 Jiannu, plus 10,000 Mongolian Tatars carrying ladders swarmed in, thousands of people at the same time with ladders attached to the ants to attack the city, thousands of Tartars with bows and arrows to cover the siege of their companions.
"Quick...... Throwing stones......"
"Ahh
"Kill ......"
