Chapter 232: The safest place is also the most dangerous

"My lord, the enemy infantry is approaching, do you want to fight now?" , the artilleryman turned his head and asked Peng Yue. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hit, fight now, ensure accuracy, hit the most crowded places!" , Peng Yue said fiercely, seeing that so many soldiers died on the city wall, Peng Yue was also angry.

As the shells were fired, explosions and screams were heard. I saw where the shells landed, flesh and blood flew sideways, sparks flew away, and the death of one soldier after another was terrible, and the other soldiers immediately scattered as birds and beasts, and ran backwards one after another. Several soldiers who were wounded, fell or fainted on the ground, were trampled to death by the frightened horses.

Zeng Milling next to him was very happy, and he clapped his hands and drank again and again. Peng Yue felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, although it was a battle between the two armies, but after all, there was no deep hatred, and he killed so many people at once, Peng Yue, who was on the battlefield for the first time, really felt a little uncomfortable about it.

"Lord Zeng, the enemy army has retreated...", Wang Huan shouted from the side, holding a bow and an arrow, and a cavalry not far away fell in response. There was a whoosh, another arrow, and a cavalryman in the distance who tried to turn around and charge in this direction was also shot.

"Good archery!" , Peng Yue said with sincere admiration. He had only known about the saying that a hundred steps through Yang before, but now that he really saw it, he couldn't help but sigh. With his own strength, let alone shooting, even if he can shoot an arrow that far, it is impossible. Moreover, Wang Huan's bow looks much heavier than ordinary bows and arrows, which is really remarkable.

Seeing that the enemy troops really retreated far behind, even beyond the range of bows and arrows, I am afraid that they also suffered and did not dare to rush hard. Peng Yue was also happy. After all, this cannonball is almost gone, and then charge like just now. But I couldn't resist it.

"My lord, there aren't many enemy troops. With the infantry, it looks like a few thousand. Wang Huan said with some surprise, "When I was listening to the ground just now, I felt that the enemy army was tens of thousands of people." ”

"Haha, they must have gone to attack the west gate and the east gate, they are not stupid, they have suffered heavy artillery bombardment from afar, and they must change the direction of the attack." Peng Yue said with a smile.

"But they will also be hit by artillery fire at the west and east gates, but there is no sign of their withdrawal now." Wang Huan pointed to the enemy army in the distance.

Peng Yue looked from afar, and saw that they did not retreat, but just lined up neatly, standing in the distance, shouting and scolding.

"Wang Huan, the one at the head should be my answer, right?" , Zeng Mill squinted his eyes and looked into the distance.

"Your Excellency. I can't see it clearly...", Wang Huan replied with some embarrassment.

"It should be me, although I can't see the appearance, but the figure. War horses, battle uniforms, momentum... It should be that he is not wrong... And just now when charging at close range. I think I see him... It should be him", Zeng muttered to himself. "It is supposed that he should personally lead most of the men and horses to attack, how can he stay here..."

Peng Yue didn't quite understand why Zeng Mo was entangled in whether this person was answering or not. But perhaps Zeng Mill also has his point.

"Oh no, this is his suspicious plan!" , Zeng Mill shouted, "Quick, Wang Huan, follow me to the south gate..."

When Peng Yue heard Zeng Mo say this, he also understood a little in his heart. I replied that he came here in person, it must be a feint to lure the enemy and drag most of the troops, so what he really wants to attack at this moment must be somewhere else, if he concentrates most of his troops and weapons to capture a door, then...

At this time, Zeng Mo had already ridden away on a war horse, followed by his brigade of personal soldiers.

"You go to the firearms depot now, get two close-range cannons, transport more shells, and send them to the south gate immediately..." ”

"Yes!" These soldiers also saw Peng Yue's anxious attitude and hurriedly ran down.

"There is a firearms depot not far from the south gate, it should be able to be delivered quickly..."Peng Yue paced anxiously, "Fortunately, Lord Zeng was alert and set up weapons depots next to the four city gates, otherwise it would be really troublesome to transport them during the battle..."

"Report...", a soldier hurriedly ran over, "My lord, Lord Li Zhen from the east gate reported that the enemy army has been repulsed..."

"Did the enemy retreat?" Peng Yue asked vigilantly.

"It seems that there is no retreat...", the soldier replied with some hesitation, "the little one just hurried to report after the enemy was repulsed, and did not pay attention to whether the enemy retreated..."

"Report...", at this time, another soldier also ran up in a panic, "My lord, Lord Ximen Zhou Shangwen reported that the enemy army has been repulsed, but it is still stranded outside the city by a large group of men and horses. ”

"That's right, that's it..."Peng Yue lamented and clapped his hands, "They definitely didn't withdraw their troops, they estimated that they were at the east gate, and the west gate also suffered heavy losses, so they turned the main force to the south gate to attack." ”

"Did they use large siege weapons, such as giant bows and crossbows, firearms, or anything else in the siege?" Peng Yue continued to ask.

"They used incendiary bombs, huge crossbows, but they did not use artillery or other firearms...", the soldier replied, "the walls of the city were destroyed in many places, but because we fired many artillery shells, the enemy suffered heavy casualties, and before they could climb the city, they were repulsed..."

"No, they are so hard-working, it is impossible not to have firearms for siege, during the Jiajing period, they definitely had firearms suitable for siege...", Peng Yue whispered to himself, "Could it be that they directly transported firearms to the south gate?" Isn't that worse..."

Peng Yue felt weak for a while when he thought that it was Qiu Luan guarding there, could he hold back such a crazy attack from the enemy?

"No, I'm going to the south gate right away...", Peng Yue said as he walked under the city wall.

"That's right..."Peng Yue seemed to think of something, turned to the soldiers defending the city and the firecrackers he brought and said: "Don't let your guard down, the enemy may attack on a large scale in a while, if the enemy approaches, you will fire flying stones, giant bows, and incendiary bombs." If they get any closer, the Musketeers are ready to fire. When the infantry approached, they attacked with artillery. The city gate is the weak point of the defense, they do not have heavy weapons to siege the city, if they want to attack the city, they must start from the city gate. ”

Peng Yue didn't expect that in such a short period of time, he would also grow into a warrior, and sure enough, the battlefield is the best place to experience a person's military ability.

He now understands my calculations. He must have been hit hard from a distance, so he changed his strategy of attacking the north gate with all his strength, and divided his troops to attack the east gate and the west gate, but he did not expect that many artillery pieces were also set up at the east gate and the west gate, and they also suffered, so they immediately pointed the spearhead at the south gate, which was weakly defended. As a result, the South Gate is in danger.

Moreover, the Tatars knew that they would get news sooner or later, so they left a lot of soldiers at the east, west, and north gates, and as long as the city went all out to help the south gate, then the remaining three gates would look for weak points and wait for an opportunity to attack the city. In this way, whoever succeeds, they succeed. I am really cunning!

"Drive..."Peng Yue thought as he stepped on his war horse and ran towards the south gate. (To be continued.) )
