"Wang Pu, take your subordinates and attack the western city wall with all your might, don't care about casualties, don't look back, keep moving forward until you penetrate behind the captives and fight with the people behind you!"

Wang Pu didn't say a word, and immediately took his elite soldiers, mixed Li Rui's subordinates with more than 1,000 people, set off quickly, rushed straight to the west city wall, and collided with the captives who were attacking this side.

"Chen Jiujin immediately went down to the city to give Zheng Yongwang an order, and asked him to lead his troops to kick the city immediately!"

Zheng Yongwang was on duty last night, so he didn't kick the city today, and has been resting in the city, and now he has to be transferred.

Li Feng immediately went to Dongcheng to give orders to many men, telling him to organize five hundred people to rush to support! Then he went to the northern city and told Sun Changfu to organize a thousand people to support the western city wall from the northern city wall. ”

Chen Jiujin and Li Feng were ordered to set off immediately, one of these two people was the son of Chen Kuan, who killed pigs in the camp in the past, and the other was the son of Li Fu, who grew vegetables.

And both of them have read some books, and they can barely read and settle accounts, which is also worthy of Yang Chao's training.

Then Yang Chao himself stood up.

He said to his own soldiers: "The captives have kicked the city, we have miscalculated, or we have never had the right emergency strategy." This was our mistake, and we didn't have a good way to stop the captives from sneaking up on the city in the dark. The current situation will either defeat them, or we will die with Haizhou City! There's no choice, I don't think you're telling me now that the son of a daughter can't sit down, the whole Haizhou City is already a hall! ”

There was silence under the men, and everyone knew what was going on.

Only then did Yang Chao say loudly: "Zhao Kang! Give me armor! ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Kang replied loudly, and then with his hands and feet, he quickly took Yang Chao's ironclad gang Yang Chao on board with a few personal soldiers.

Then Yang Chao picked up the spear. With the last of the new force, the pro-soldier team, walked out of the city tower.

The current situation can only know what the specific battle situation is from the successful kicking of the captives onto the western city wall. Song Kun is still leading people to resist, but he has still been defeated. Even worse, Yang Chao didn't know at all, but there was one thing, he must not let the captives gain a foothold, and he must immediately launch a counterattack and knock them out of the city.

Yang Chao didn't wait for Zheng Yongwang and other reinforcements, and immediately set off with his own team.

Run forward, along the way. The torches on the wall on the right flickered, and the shouts of battle in front of them continued to sound.

The south city wall is only about one mile and eight miles long, and the city tower where Yang Chao is located is in the center, and it is less than a mile to reach the northwest corner, and the speed of running is less than a quarter of an hour to reach the corner.

However, the captives did not attack the corner of the city, and the position captured by the captives was about thirty zhang from the corner of the city, which belonged to the west city wall, but it was close to the south city wall, and it was obvious that the captives were planning to kick the city from here. Then he besieged the southern wall with the captives besieging the city head-on.

The captives knew very well that their combat power was above that of the Ming army, and as long as they could kick the city, they would be sure to win. The main force of the Ming army was in the southern city wall, so their target was actually the southern city wall.

However, the captives probably did not expect that the Ming army's reaction speed would be so fast, and before they could stand on the western wall and attack south, the Ming army attacked instead.

Yang Chao continued to walk forward, and under the reflection of the torches, he soon saw Wang Pu and his people besieging the captives.

At this time, although the captives did not have time to attack south, they had already established a solid position. Yang Chao couldn't see the situation in the captive army, because the captives actually "built" a wall on the city wall. To be precise, a wall was built out of thick planks, and the wooden wall was as tall as one person. Running through both sides of the city wall, it is not known what is really going on behind them.

This is a completely defensive position, because there is such a wall, and the captives obviously block their attacks, but it is even more unfavorable to the Ming army, because the captives are constantly shooting arrows from behind the wall at this time, and the Ming army cannot hit the captives before breaking through this wall.

Yang Chao soon saw this unfavorable situation, Wang Pu was better, but those unarmored Minzhuang couldn't resist such a shot, and some Minzhuang were constantly injured and wailed, and other Minzhuang had relatives on their faces, obviously it was impossible for them to hold on for a long time, and it was easy to collapse.

Wang Pu led people to approach the wooden wall, was trying to break the wooden wall, stabbed with a spear, found that only a shallow mark could be left, the wooden wall was very thick, strong and heavy, and it was almost immobile to pierce it with a spear, Wang Pu led people to use a spear against the wooden wall, trying to push the wooden wall away, but the wooden wall was only flickering, like a rooted tree, and it couldn't be pushed away at all.

When Yang Chao arrived, he saw this situation and saw Wang Pu pushing the wooden wall, and there were many people to help push it, and a group of people were crowded in front of the wooden wall.

"Don't mess around, everyone stand back, stand back!"

Yang Chao immediately shouted, and Zhao Kang followed and shouted with his voice open.

Among these people, there are officers arranged by Yang Chao, just now rushed over, and wanted to open the wooden wall at once, but instead of rushing away, they were blocked here, and when they heard the order, they began to restore order, and slowly retreated under the organization of the officers.

The rain of arrows of the captives was quite dense, and Yang Chao's subordinates kept dancing their spears to sweep away the arrows that came over, but some of them still hit the soldiers, fortunately they were all wearing iron armor, and these fish that slipped through the net could not cause damage.

From time to time, Min Zhuang was shot and wounded, or even killed directly.

Soon Minzhuang retreated, and pushed to the corner of the city thirty zhang away, at this time the power of the bow and arrow was much smaller, and even if the thrown bow and arrow hit them, as long as it was not critical, it was only a minor injury.

Only Yang Chao's personal soldiers and Wang Pu's 100 corps stayed in front of the wooden wall, and the wooden wall became their protection at this time, and the arrows of the captives could not be shot for the time being.

Yang Chao ordered everyone to gather their strength and see if they could push through the wooden wall.

However, more than 100 people gathered in the middle, shouting and pushing hard for a long time, only to see the wooden wall shaking, but there was no intention of falling.

Obviously, the captives are behind them, and the number may not be less than that of the Ming army, and it is obviously not easy to push away.

Although he couldn't see the situation behind the wooden wall, Yang Chaochai could also guess that at this time, the captives must be seizing the time to let more people kick the city. As long as one or two thousand of them came up, they would probably bring down the wooden wall and rush over.

Time was on the side of the captives. Yang Chao couldn't afford to delay.

"Bang it with wood!"

I don't know which soldier shouted, but there are still a lot of rolling logs on the city wall. The stout wood was three or five feet long.

"Find the wood!"

Yang Chao's heart moved, and he immediately ordered.

Soon someone took a few pieces of wood from the root of the city wall, and three or five people wrapped one together, and slammed it into the shield wall.

But the effect is not as reasonable as a group of people to push it, after all, most of this kind of rolling wood is too short, not a complete rafter, it is used to throw down the city to smash people, it cannot be too big or too long. Otherwise, people can't lift it, and how can they throw it down.

After trying for a while, I found that it didn't work, and at this time Zheng Yongwang had already come up to support.

This wooden wall can't be broken at all, at least not in a short time, if it takes too long, the captives will kick the city, even if it is knocked open, it is useless, unless it is blasted with explosives!

As soon as he thought of explosives, Yang Chao immediately thought that he had a cannon!

But as soon as the idea came to mind. Suddenly, even I felt a little crazy, on the narrow city wall, there were women's walls one person high on both sides to block it. The width is the width of several horses running side by side, Haizhou is not a military town, the width of the top of the city wall is less than five zhang, this width with cannons, you can imagine what the result will be.

It's like putting a cannon on the street and a bunch of guys with kitchen knives on the other side, and it's said that the first general to put a cannon on the street was Napoleon, who was just an artillery lieutenant at the time, and his actions at that time made people feel crazy. But it worked well, and the rioters in Paris were slaughtered by him.

"Zheng Yongwang. Go and move all the tiger squat guns! ”

However, Yang Chao was not crazy enough to bombard with the general, because he didn't know what was going on on the side of the wooden wall of the captive soldiers. If Song Kun was fighting with the captives on the other side of the wall, he would accidentally injure his own people with one shot.

The tiger squat cannon is completely fine, the wooden wall of the captives is very explained, the buckshot of the tiger squat cannon hits over, which is probably to break through the wooden wall, and then there is not much power.

Zheng Yongwang, who had just rushed over, immediately ran over to move the tiger and squat the cannon.

These tiger squatting cannons are thirty-six pounds long, two feet long, and a strong man can walk with them, even if everyone is wearing armor and two people are carrying it, it is easy.

Therefore, soon Yang Chao saw Zheng Yongwang coming with people holding cannons, they were very fast, and they also knew that the situation was urgent at this time.

Instead, the gunners were still running behind them.

The gunners, having fought for so long, were shrewd, and they followed closely behind the armoured men who carried cannons and barrels, but they dodged the scattered fire of bows and arrows.

When they reached a distance of five or six feet from the wooden wall, the bows and arrows of the captives could not attack them, and could only fly over their heads.

Then look at these gunners, put the ten cannons removed from the southern city wall on the ground, the front two flying claws grasp the city bricks, and nail them into the gaps, and use a U-shaped long nail to find the gap and smash it tightly.

Although the ancients built cities in some places like to use Sanhe soil and even rice milk to irrigate, it is obvious that the ground on the city wall will not be treated like this, otherwise it will be too wasteful, so many clumps of weeds will grow in the ground cracks in the ancient city wall.

Now it has brought convenience to the placement of the tiger squat cannon, these gaps in the city wall are obviously better than the soil, and it is enough for the tiger squat cannon to drive the nails into the soil in the field, before Yang Chao because he wanted to set up the cannon, so he could only use hemp rope to put it on the sandbag, and now it is not so troublesome to directly attack the captives on the ground.

I saw the fixed ten cannons, the iron claws in front of them were put on the cannon body behind the muzzle, and the iron claws were lying on the ground in an inverted V shape, really like a tiger that had been lying on the ground, ready to rush out at any time.

Then the gunner was seen reloading.

At this time, Yang Chao suddenly shouted: "All cannons are loaded with big sons!" ”

The cannonball of the tiger squat cannon is divided into large and small pieces, before Yang Chao has only used five dollars of the boy, although the caliber of the tiger squat cannon is only two inches, but the two-inch solid lead bullet is obviously more than five dollars in weight, in fact, this kind of cannon, there are thirty taels of weight, sixteen taels is a catty, close to two catties!

The gunners quickly took the order, first poured the gunpowder from the powder bag into the muzzle, and pushed it in with a wooden push to compact, and then loaded a cannon the size of a child's fist into the muzzle, and compacted it as well!

"Everybody's lying down! Put the middle two doors first! The last two cannons will be put again! Then cast them in turn! ”

Yang Chao gave the order and immediately retreated to the rear of Wuzhang, and only ten gunners remained in front of the distance of three zhang.

But apparently these gunners also knew what Yang Chao meant, and joked that this was the city wall, and if the wooden wall in front of it could not be blasted open, the lead would bounce back and kill people.

Yang Chao didn't think too much, but the direction of consideration was not right.

Because after the two cannons fired, the lead went straight to the wooden board from a distance of three zhang, and for a time the sawdust splashed everywhere and hit the city wall, but the lead bullet was directly stuck on the wooden wall, so the danger was not the lead bullet, but the scattered wood chips.

The good thing is that no one was injured, and the bad thing is that the wooden wall was not blasted open, but the wooden wall was cracked, and it can be seen from the position of the breach that the captives were perverted to build the wall with a half-foot thick plank!

The last two cannons bombarded again, this time directly breaking a plank, which flew out and fell into the city, fortunately without hurting anyone.

But Yang Chao was stunned again, because he saw that behind the gap in the missing plank, it was not the captives who were exposed, but sandbags!

No wonder I couldn't push through the wooden wall just now, it turned out that the captives actually piled up high sandbags behind the wooden wall!

There was no choice but to let two more cannons bombard.

After the ten cannons were fired in turn, the wooden wall was already in tatters, and sandbags were exposed in many places, and even the sandbags were broken, but the dirt inside was a piece of mud, still supporting the wooden wall.

And at this time the first gun was reloaded again and continued to bombard.

By the end of the second round, the wooden wall had been completely shattered, and only a few fragments of the planks were attached to it, revealing a sandbag more than five feet high, and the top two sandbags had fallen into the captive formation.

This is good information, indicating that the captive's sandbags are not thick, but only a single layer.

It's no wonder that the captives are in a hurry to kick the city, and they want to waste their time piling up sandbags.

The tiger squat artillery continued to bombard, the sandbags were completely broken one by one, and the most advantageous thing was that they were knocked down one by one, and after the third round of bombardment, the sandbags finally could not withstand the continuous shelling and collapsed!

The frightened captives inside were revealing the prisoners who were trying to repile the sandbags, but they obviously didn't have time to repair them, and before they could repair the damage, the sandbags collapsed directly, and fell to Yang Chao's side, so that they couldn't repair them if they wanted to.

And the tiger squat cannon is still roaring, two guns and two guns are like a row of guns, continuing to bombard.

The gunner always lies behind the cannon, and after firing, he immediately cleans up and reloads.
