Chapter 246: The Battle of Ulju (3)
Although the loud sound of the Shenwei general's cannon on the city wall of the south gate did not cause great damage to the rogues, it exerted a lot of pressure on the psychology of some of the rogues, and the huge cannon of the officers and soldiers was really terrifying.

Wang Zishun rode on a horse, and behind him were a group of old battalion infantry and horse teams, all of whom were homeless and bandits, and these people were also cannon fodder in the mouth of the old camp such as Wang Zishun.
The peasant army came like a wave, and everyone was actually a little nervous, but they still didn't move, just waiting for Xiao Yi's order.
Seeing that the peasant army was already less than two hundred steps away from the moat, Xiao Yi's hand fell violently, followed by several shouts.
"Fire!"
In an instant, the artillery on the city of Ulju rang out in unison, and thousands of artillery pieces were fired in unison, filling the air with gunsmoke.
These cannons were carefully selected, and the sound of artillery on the south side seemed to be a signal to the other two, and in an instant, the east and west sides were also cannon fire, and a big battle was about to break out.
Thousands of peasant troops rushed towards this side with shouts and killings.
When the buckshot was launched, most of them turned into scattered projectiles and fell into the tide of the peasant army, causing the stumps of the peasant army to fly and howl miserably.
In this wave alone, at least hundreds of rogues will be killed on the spot, and a large number of rogues will be hit, injured, incapacitated, and fall to the ground wailing miserably.
The peasant army approached the moat, and they shouted the trumpet to put the ladder on the moat, and rushed across the moat, when several shouts rang out from the city.
"Shoot!"
The bird-gunners who had been prepared in Weng Cheng had aimed at firing one after another, and the rogue who rushed to the front fell in an instant, and the shouts of killing inside and outside Ulju City shook the sky, which was mixed with the loud sound of artillery and the sound of continuous firing of guns.
A group of peasant troops ran under the city carrying improvised ladders, and they were lucky that none of the projectiles in the sky hit them, and they went all the way to the front of the moat, and immediately put the ladder on the moat and rushed across the moat.
At this time, the sound of artillery in the city sounded again, and they raised their heads, and were horrified to see a piece of projectiles full of black pressure on their heads, and in an instant, several people were hit and fell to the ground on the spot.
The rest of the people hurriedly ran towards the side of the moat, but unexpectedly, a projectile was smashing on the ladder, and the ladder shattered in the shocked eyes of these rogues.
Several of the rogues who were crossing the river on it fell into the moat and could not climb out again.
The shouting of killing lasted only for nearly an hour, and within this hour, the sound of artillery and birds on the city of Ulju did not stop, and the rogues suffered heavy losses, but they still stubbornly approached the city of Urn.
"This, this, why haven't the artillery of the officers and soldiers exploded!"
"Rush, rush to the front, their artillery is useless!"
It stands to reason that by this time, the artillery of the officers and soldiers should have broken or could not be fired, and the guns should not be used, but the officers and soldiers in front of them did not have the slightest intention of stopping.
This is a group of bandits from a small cottage, there are hundreds of them, and they rush to the river to build a ladder to cross the river.
But at this time, they were no longer as fierce as before, and the sharpness of the city's artillery and firearms made them a little afraid in their hearts, but under the leadership of the head pole, they still mustered up the courage to rush down the city.
After paying huge casualties, they finally rushed to the city of Weng: "Hahaha, I just said that the artillery of this officer and soldier will not be able to hit the city when it arrives!" ”
"Big brother is mighty, go to the city to kill officers and soldiers!"
"Up, take the ladder, and go into the city!"
The leader and a few thieves around him were setting up a ladder to get to the city, when the bandits behind him pointed to the top of his head and opened their mouths as if they had seen something terrible.
The leader of the bandits looked upwards, and there was a man who was facing him, who was holding a large stone from nowhere, and with a loud roar, he threw it down on his head.
"Ahh
The bandit leader was smashed in the head on the spot, and the leader was not the only one who was stoned to death, and several old thieves around him were either killed by boulders or crushed by the falling sasswood, and they howled miserably, but they could not get up.
The rest of the thieves looked at each other at this scene, and did not dare to rush again, and immediately threw down the ladder and ran backwards in a miserable howl.
There were already a lot of rogues who rushed across the moat and approached the city of Weng, and just when they were just breathing a sigh of relief, a volley of fire guns was fired from the city, and the people continued to push down the boulders and sassalwoods that had been prepared earlier.
These thieves who had just rushed through the moat were suddenly smashed with blood, and fell into the moat with a scream, and some rogues jumped into the moat to avoid the flying stones and trees, although they escaped the danger of their lives, but they could not climb out of the moat again.
At this time, many brothers around him were hit by the black hole bird, and they all fell down miserably, and the shocking blood holes that appeared on their bodies shocked them.
Finally someone began to shout: "Run, the firearms of the dog officers and soldiers are too shady!" ”
"This hateful thief and soldier, everyone run for your life!"
At the same time, outside the east and west gates, there was also a shouting of killing and the sound of cannons, Zhou Ding stood on the west gate urn city to personally command the battle, he held the waist knife and kept pointing, shouting: "Hurry up the cannon, open the cannon quickly, you must not let the rogue come over!" ”
"That, rush that!"
Liukou rushed closer and closer, crossed the moat and approached the urn city, Zhou Ding was anxious, and personally lifted the boulder and threw it down.
The boulder was smashing into the two rogues, who let out a scream and were knocked straight into the moat.
"Your Excellency is mighty!"
"Your Excellency!"
Zhou Ding kicked his own family officer at the same time, and shouted: "You also go to defend the city!" When the officer heard this, he hurriedly took a group of family members to help defend the city.
On the east gate, Yuan Shaogong frowned and looked at the sparse peasant army in front of him, and wondered: "What's wrong with these bandits, I can hear the big movement outside the south gate, why aren't the rogues here in a hurry?" ”
The person in charge of feinting to attack the west gate was Wang Ding, under the command of Wang Zishun, and after receiving the order, he only disobeyed the yang and the yin.
The two thousand homeless bandits made a feint, and most of them were still motionless outside the city, naturally they were planning to save their strength and wait for the battle at the south gate to end so that they could go in and reap the benefits, he would not have thought that at this time, the rogues outside the south gate had suffered heavy losses and were defeated.
Yuan Shaogong basically didn't receive any decent attack here, more than 2,000 rogues are a lot, but they are too bad to use to siege the city, only one round of artillery went down and ran back, throwing away the armor and making the co-defenders of the city also secretly sneered.
Yuan Shaogong glanced at several officers on his side, what kind of battle was he fighting, he muttered: "Quickly tell the Lord of Conduct, just say that the thieves at the south gate are really feints, and it is enough for the people to defend the city." ”
When Xiao Yi received Yuan Shaogong's words, the peasant army's first attack had already been defeated.
The peasant army shouted and frantically rushed towards the city of Ulju, and it was not long before it receded like a tide, and each one hated his father and mother for not giving birth to two legs, and every time they heard the sound of artillery and birds in the city, they were terrified and ran harder.
Xiao Yi originally placed a sentry in the east and west gates of the Yong'an Army to assist the people to defend the city, but at this time, it seemed that he still looked down on the Liukou.
In this wave, at least more than 2,000 people were killed or wounded by the rogues at the South Gate alone, and the funny thing is that they didn't even touch the walls of Ulju.
He immediately ordered that all the Yong'an troops in the East and West Gates should withdraw to the South Gate to be the last mobile troops, even if there was a battle in the East and West Gates, they could quickly rush to support.
Wang Zishun listened to the sound of Ulzhou City or cannons, shouting and killing, but he didn't have the slightest worry, he felt that he had won when he saw his black subordinates, and even he thought that he could capture Ulzhou City today.
It's not always like this every time, the exiles went to attack the city, and it didn't take long for either the officers and soldiers to surrender, or the officers and soldiers to rout on their own, and they didn't spend much effort at all.
He said lightly: "The artillery of the officers and soldiers should have exploded a lot. ”
Dong Kui, who was beside him, nodded and said with great certainty: "The troops should have crossed the moat now, presumably the news of the surrender of the officers and soldiers will come soon." ”
At this time, the Ground Snake and the Chaotian Dragon suddenly came back with their subordinates, both with gloomy faces, and the big gang of thieves behind them were all pale, looking like they were asking for guilt.
In this way, Wang Zishun was taken aback, he looked at the two of them, their original fierce appearance turned gray at this time, and the bandits behind them were basically injured.
He smiled and said, "What's the matter with the two leaders, the city has been captured?" ”
Chaotian Long kicked Wang Zishun with a pair of bull's eyes, and roared angrily: "Damn, the artillery of the officers and soldiers is so sharp, why didn't you say it earlier!" ”
The ground-stepping snake also pointed at Wang Zishun with the machete in his hand: "I think you are tender and have a heart, and you want to make fun of our brothers, and when we mobilize the people to capture the city for you, you can pick up ready-made?" ”
Wang Zishun was a little confused, he stopped smiling and asked, "Didn't Ulzhou take it down?" ”
The Chaotian Dragon approached Wang Zishun step by step, holding the meteor hammer in his hand.
The big eyes were full of hostility, and he snorted coldly: "I said you don't pretend, you already knew that the officers and soldiers had such sharp artillery, and you just wanted our brothers to be cannon fodder for you!" ”
The two thieves of Chaotian Dragon and Snake led a group of bandits who had just run back from the city, and they suffered heavy losses under the city, and even many leaders of small villages with hundreds of people died under the city.
These bandits have nowhere to reason, it should have been a one-sided battle, how could such a big change happen, they went to find the two of them, and the people brought by the Chaotian Dragon and the Ground Snake this time originally wanted to make some benefits.
But the city skin was not touched, but he lost a lot of people, and immediately gathered most of the bandits and horse gangs to come to Xingshi to ask for the guilt.
Just as he was about to go, at this time, an old battalion horse team galloped over and shouted: "It's not good, the commander, the camp of the displaced people has suffered heavy losses, and now it has been defeated!" ”
The prince was shocked and defeated?
He grabbed the placket of the old battalion's shirt and shouted, "Defeat? How can it be?! ”
"I have tens of thousands of people fighting a small city of Ulju, how can you tell me how it will be defeated? A bunch of garbage, a bunch of garbage! ”
Chaotian Long raised his eyebrows, threw the meteor hammer in his hand to the ground, and shouted: "I thought you were the leader who could fight, but today, what a bullshit one-word Hengtian King is just a mongrel who relies on outcasts as cannon fodder, hahaha!" ”
The Floor Snake also laughed with the many thieves behind him, and this kind of ridicule made Wang Zishun's face turn pale.
As soon as Chaotianlong's words came out, Wang Zishun looked at him, Chaotianlong looked at him fearlessly, Wang Zishun's hands were trembling, he was invincible all the way to Shanshan, how could he ever encounter such humiliation!
Seeing the appearance of the two of them, the camp instantly became nervous, and everyone secretly held their swords and guns.
