Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Fierce Battle in the Fort
Taking advantage of the distraction of Mengnu to attack the city tower, Ziren led his people to retreat safely into the second line of defense. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info saw that the opponent dared to come to die, Ziren did not hesitate to immediately order Ding Youcai and Ding Bi to light the fire. Under the cover of the gunpowder smoke raised by the tiger squat artillery, he led his subordinates to continue to retreat to the third line of defense.
The Tiger Squat Cannon is powerful at close range, and the fly in the ointment is that the penetration is slightly weaker. The narrow interior of the fort was crowded by the Mongols, and while the Tartars in the front row were swept away, most of the buckshot was blocked for their comrades in the rear. There have been lessons from the previous car of retreating and then dying, and the debuters and Xiao Laosi have always lived in the formation to command the people, and they have not been affected.
As the smoke gradually dissipated, the Tuobu Hu saw that the Ming army was retreating, and found that Ziren was wearing a bright armor and bright armor, and there were soldiers around him to raise shields to protect him, knowing that this person must be the guard of the fort, he immediately took out an armor-piercing arrow and shot at Ziren.
The arrowhead and shaft of the armor-piercing arrow are all made of fine iron, and the momentum is strong and heavy, although the range is slightly closer, but it can break the heavy armor and thick shield within 30 steps. Due to the weight of the arrows, in order to maintain balance, the feathers of birds of prey such as falcons must be used, and such materials are scarce in the grasslands, and unless they are completely sure, they will not be used lightly.
As the armor-piercing arrow was fired, Wang Xuedao, who was holding a card to protect Ziren's side, let out a miserable scream. The shield and the right hand holding the shield were pierced on the spot, and under the pain, he could no longer control the card, and leaked out of Ziren behind him.
Naturally, the debuke household would not let go of this opportunity, and immediately reopened the bow and arrows to take the life of the general, but as soon as the bow was full, he heard a bang, and the debuke household was knocked off the horse in response.
It was Lei Tiedan who sensed that Ziren's life was hanging by a thread, and quickly picked up the bird gun next to him to kill the person who released the arrow. Taking advantage of the fact that the Mongol soldiers were busy treating the Debu households, Ziren finally led his men through the third front, and did not stop after arriving, and retreated straight to the last line of defense to be on guard.
Lei Zhenwei waited here for a long time, and immediately ignited the Furlong machine to bombard the crowded Mengnu. The projectile erupted from the muzzle of the cannon with a strong momentum, penetrating the bodies of several enemies before falling to the ground unwillingly. After landing on the ground, he rolled forward five or six steps, breaking the legs of several enemy horses.
After being attacked repeatedly, the Mongol Tatars continued to be ferocious, and launched a surprise attack under the leadership of Xiao Laosi and the eldest son of the Debu household. Helplessly, there were two lines of defense in front of him to block the horse's speed, and as soon as he crossed the second line of defense, the Furlong machine was reloaded.
The second shot was filled with loose shots, and the bullets that were sprayed head-on smashed into a sieve for the dedicator and his cronies who were eager to avenge his father. Seeing that the enemy was still approaching, the Lei father and son did not dare to delay, and led the troops to retreat without waiting for the only remaining shot.
At this time, Ziren made proper arrangements for the fourth line of defense behind the two, and quickly led people to cover with guns. Meng Nu's archers were suppressed by firearms, and although they fired dozens of arrows indiscriminately, it was a pity that the accuracy was not high and did not cause much damage to Ziren's side.
As the clansmen continued to be shot and killed, Xiao Laosi thought that the target was too obvious on the horse, and hurriedly shouted to the clansmen to dismount, hide behind the horse and shoot back. For a moment there were arrows intersecting on the street, and there were dead and wounded on both sides. Fortunately, Ziren and his party had all the armor, and they had poured a low wall as a barrier in advance, so they took advantage of a lot.
However, after a few rounds of shooting, the previously loaded bird guns and fire guns were all set off. It was very expensive to reload again, and the rain of bullets on Ziren's side inevitably thinned. Although Tong Dali and others were still shooting arrows to kill the enemy, the number of archers and archery skills in the fort were far inferior to those of the Mongols, and they were gradually suppressed by the opponents, and the casualties began to increase gradually.
Seeing that Ziren's side was about to suffer, a shower of arrows suddenly fell on both sides of the street, and the Mengnu Tartars couldn't dodge it and broke a lot. It turned out that Li Dequan heard the sound of the cannon stopping, and led his subordinates to climb onto the roof of the house without collecting it, and released cold arrows from the roofs on both sides.
Ziren was pressed against the wall by Mengnu's bow and arrows before, and he couldn't raise his head, and Wang Xuedao was already angry. After the rain of arrows stopped, he quickly led his soldiers out of the wall to launch a counterattack.
Seeing the Ming army rushing towards him, Xiao Laosi immediately ordered someone to release arrows to block the attack, but Ding Bi, Wang Mingqiang, Tang Xuedao and others who rushed in front of the battle had already raised their shields. Feeling that the bow and arrow were of little effect, Xiao Laosi had to pull out his saber and lead his men forward to meet the battle.
Seeing that the opponent was in the middle of the plan, Ziren, who was hiding behind the shield array, led Ding Youcai, Lei Tiedan and a group of gunners to stretch the abductor out of the gap in the shield. He didn't care about aiming and cast it directly, and after the gun was ejected, he raised his arms and shouted, "Brothers! The dog tartar can't stand it, kill it! Avenge the brothers who died in battle! ”
Knowing that his legs and feet were inconvenient, Ziren finished his words and then used the ground knife technique passed down by the enemy, and broke many enemy legs between rolling and sweeping with one leg. Ding Bi, Youcai, Wang Xuedao and other generals did not dare to slack off, and followed them into the enemy formation. The soldiers in the fort saw that Shangguan was so brave, and they were inspired by Ziren to fight bravely.
Xiao Lao Si saw that the Ming army was so fierce and not afraid of death, and there were Li Dequan's people overhead who were attacking with arrows. He no longer had the intention of fighting, so he beckoned his subordinates to turn over and retreat to the city gate, hoping that Bo Yan'er outside the city would lead troops to help as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, just a few steps away, I heard the sound of wind coming from my head, and before I could raise my eyes to look, I was split in half by Li Dequan and his horses.
Li Dequan hid behind the house and heard the sound of guns in the fort, and his heart was already itching. After going to the room, I still felt that it was not enough to put a few arrows, and when I saw that the Mongols wanted to escape, I jumped down from the room at the right time to kill Xiao Laosi.
Half of his men followed suit, and many of the Mongols were beheaded from their horses, while the rest remained on the house and fired arrows, firmly blocking the enemy's retreat. At this time, Huang Taiji also led the earth dogs out of the corner, specifically biting the horse's lower body and legs, and after a successful blow, he quickly fled, needing to find the next target.
After the Mongol cavalry entered the city, they were repeatedly defeated, and several of the main generals were killed in battle, and the remaining men and horses were less than thirty percent. Now there are no arrows at night, there are vicious dogs biting, and there are two people in front and behind Ziren and Li Dequan who lead their troops to intercept and kill like wolves and tigers, which is really unbearable.
Many timid people dismounted and begged for mercy, but the soldiers in the fort had already been red-eyed and slaughtered them in an instant. The remaining dozen or so fierce people formed a circle back to back with the intention of resisting to the end.
After this fierce battle, more than a dozen men were lost in the fort, and Ziren did not want his subordinates to be damaged again. Ordered men to set up a shield array to besiege them, and at the same time threw out many small 10,000 enemies.
These mud shell bombs, which were specially built by 10,000 enemies for street fighting, did not contain sharp weapons, and relied solely on the impact of the explosion to disrupt the enemy's position. After the Monnu was blown up, he was slaughtered in a matter of breaths.
Seeing that none of the Mongolian Tatars who had entered the fort could stand up at this moment, Ziren breathed a sigh of relief. Just wanted to sit down and rest, Ding Shoutie, who had been blocking the enemy on the city tower, shouted loudly in the city: "Young master! Master! Hurry up and see the city! ”
