Chapter 51: Fierce Battle at the Head of the City, Golden Juice Mighty
Under the evasion of the Qing army and the contemptuous attitude of the Qing army at the same time, two huge crossbow arrows roared and were inserted in the cannon camp respectively, and the two "10,000 enemies" were naturally brought in......
One of them was closest to the huge crossbow arrow, and the Qing soldier who had just escaped the catastrophe was happy: "Haha! These guys are at the end of their rope and are attacking our artillery with crossbow arrows. Later, you will be able to attack the head of the city and kill the thieves in the city. When the time comes, you can still mix up an official position and reward money. But wait...... What's that mud-sealed jar next to it? ”
He looked at this strange thing curiously, not knowing what the hell the Chiayi defenders at the head of the city were doing.
Zizizi...... The lead has burned to the end! Drastic changes have begun within the "10,000 enemies", just waiting for an astonishing outbreak of terrifying and destructive forces.
The Qing soldier stared curiously: "Huh? This thing is still smoking...... Wait a minute! This smell seems to be ......."
When he finally smelled saltpeter (the main substance used to make gunpowder in ancient times), he was terrified and wanted to flee while alerting his companions. However, there is no chance!
The "10,000 enemies" who once exerted great power in the late Ming Dynasty finally showed his terrifying power on the battlefield again.
A forty-kilogram "big bomb", although not as powerful as modern gunpowder, is absolutely extremely destructive.
Thundered!
The dazzling light lit up in the Qing army's artillery squad for a moment, followed by a deafening explosion, billowing smoke and a rapidly spreading shock wave. Accompanied by the powerful artillery of the Qing army in all directions, and the terrible screams, the human body stumps flew in all directions......
The two powerful "10,000 enemies" instantly destroyed more than a dozen of the Qing army's mighty cannons, and also killed and injured a large number of soldiers who operated the cannons. At this time, the Qing army and the rebel army were basically "leveled" in the weapons of long-range attack.
Looking at the two areas that were burned by the bombardment of the "10,000 enemies" shot by the bed crossbow, Shi Wu was so angry that he yelled frantically: "Siege!" Give me a siege! After the capture of Chiayi, all the young and middle-aged people in the city who participated in the rebellion were killed!! ”
Although the Qing army suffered heavy losses, the Chiayi defenders at the head of the city were not easy. After the fierce battle just now, more than half of the 2,000 "regular troops" and 1,500 militiamen suffered casualties. Now, the remaining Qing soldiers are still more than 6,000, and they will continue to launch fierce siege battles!
"All hands on the city! Whoever is the first to climb the city wall will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver! Promoted to three levels in the military! Therefore, those who retreat, the overseer team will be killed directly! ”
One by one, the Qing generals commanded their subordinates and shouted loudly.
A group of Qing soldiers carrying ladders quickly headed towards the city wall, and then braved the rain of swords to set up ladders and scrambled to climb up.
Above the city, the defenders' arrows were already a little insufficient, and this kind of pure consumable could not be used for a long time. But looking at the Qing soldiers who were climbing the city wall like ants, the last "big killer" could finally come in handy.
That's the golden juice!
The generals at the head of the city ran back and forth, shouting: "Hurry up! Scoop out all the gold juice from the big iron pot and put it in a large basin and pour it down. Let these besieging soldiers have a good taste of this! ”
The rebels covered their mouths and noses tightly with torn cloths and surrounded them around the big iron cauldron. Standing on a high stool, waving the big shovel in his hand and stirring vigorously in the boiling yellow human and animal feces and urine, the stench that rose to the sky was indescribable. Even the rebels covered their mouths and noses, they all felt unbearable, and their faces showed hideous expressions......
Then some people scooped up the gold juice from the big iron pot and poured it into the large wooden basin with large special wooden scoops, and several rebels carefully carried it to the edge of the battlement of the city wall as quickly as possible. The Qing army, who was trying to climb the wall on the ladder, poured his head and face......
What does it taste like to pour a pot of boiling boiling water all over your head? It must have been very scary and uncomfortable.
Then imagine a pot of boiling and boiling dung poured all over the body?
The Qing soldiers who besieged the city were treated like this. But all those who were poured with "golden juice" let out a terrible scream that did not resemble a human voice, like a ghost howling. Covering his face with his hands, he fell down the ladder. And because the stench was so smoky, even if they were lucky enough not to be poured with gold juice, some of them subconsciously reached out to cover their mouths and noses - this caused the center of gravity to be unstable and fell down the ladder, either dead or injured.
It has to be said that this wave of "golden juice" attacks caused great trouble to the Qing soldiers besieging the city. More than a dozen pots of gold juice poured down from the city one after another, causing hundreds of casualties among the Qing soldiers and further damaging the morale of the besieging army.
It's just that the golden juice is limited after all...... The rebel army defending the city has even run out of gold juice, next. I'm afraid there will be no way to use the city's geographical advantages to attack the Qing soldiers. You can only fight for strength in a real way!
At this time, there were still 5,000 left, and all the rebels defending the city combined were only about 900 people......
Nine hundred against five thousand! That's really going to be desperate.
At this time, Xiong Li, who had been at the top just now, also took out the big knife from his waist and raised it high: "All soldiers, listen to my orders, and kill the enemy with the general!" Kill the demon and restore the clothes of Huaxia! Believe in the dragon god, you will have eternal life, you will be protected! ”
"Believe in the dragon god! Eternal life! ”
"Long live the Dragon God Sect!!"
Under the leadership of Xiong Li and the generals of the Dragon God Sect, all the rebels in the city shouted loudly, and the morale that was originally a little low once again climbed to the peak in an instant.
In their minds, the heavenly court of the dragon god descended to the mortal world to save the suffering and save the real immortals. They may not know much about the general meaning of "restoring the rivers and mountains of China", but they can really feel the changes after the "restoration of Chiayi". And these are all brought by the Dragon God and the Dragon God Sect!
Listening to the shouts of unity at the head of the city, the Qing troops under the city were a little shocked. This is obviously a battle with a huge disparity in strength, why do they still maintain such belief?
But Shi Wu frowned: "Dragon God Sect? It looks familiar, and I think I've heard it somewhere. ”
The adjutant general next to him had already had a shocked expression on his face, and reported in Shi Wu's ear: "This seems to be a sect that has emerged in Guangdong in recent years. However, because this Dragon God Sect does not fight much against the government on weekdays, most of the believers are more honest, but sometimes cooperate with the Guangdong government, so it has not been taken much by the imperial court. Moreover, I heard that even because the followers of the Dragon God Sect assisted the Guangdong government to settle some of the displaced people, they were also rewarded by the governor of Guangdong and the prefect of Guangzhou. How could it be...... Mixed with these thieves of the Heaven and Earth Society? ”
Shi Wu also felt a little unbelievable when he heard the words of the deputy general, and touched his beard with a puzzled expression: "Hearing you say this, I also think of this Dragon God Sect." It does seem to be a relatively honest and peaceful sect, and has been rewarded by the imperial court. It can't be that we heard it wrong, right? Or is it ...... This Dragon God Sect has deceived the imperial court?! ”
He suddenly thought of a possibility, and only felt cold and fearful.
(Jin Juice described Feng Ling himself as a little unappetizing, sweating...... (To be continued.) )
