Chapter 50: Ten Thousand Enemies Appear

Boom, boom!

The roar of fifty mighty cannons in unison was still very amazing. Cannonballs rose from the bottom to the top and bombarded the head of Chiayi City.

Some hit the city walls, only to blow down a lot of masonry; But some of them really hit the head of the city, shattering the battlements one by one, and splashing stones through the air. The rebels who were hiding in the rear were unfortunately killed directly, and some of the more fortunate ones were at least pushed away by the air wave or hit by the flying debris and suffered a little bit of minor injury.

Han Tao's face was shocked: "I didn't expect that the Qing army really made a bloody investment this time!" He actually took out so many powerful cannons with a range of two hundred meters. We're under a lot of pressure! ”

Xiong Li's face became extremely hideous: "No matter how much pressure you have, you have to keep Chiayi for Lao Tzu!" This is the foundation of our Dragon God Sect in Taiwan. It is an important part of the establishment of Lord Longshen to officially raise the anti-Qing Dynasty and establish the Huaxia Divine Kingdom, and there is absolutely no room for error. Let the trebuchet prepare and fight back once the Qing cannons are cooled down and reloaded after they are designed! ”

So, when the Qing army fired a volley at the Chiayi city wall, they were complacent when they saw that the losses of the rebels defending the city were not small. The counterattack is also coming immediately!

In this position, the trebuchet can already knock smaller stones through. So eight Furlong cannons and a dozen trebuchets worked at the same time. Whistling steel cannonballs and stone balls smashed into the Qing camp at the same time. The damage caused by the Fran cannons was still staggering, and the artillery and numbers of the Qing army continued to decrease. Although the stone balls thrown by the trebuchet will not explode, they will lose most of their combat effectiveness if they are next to each other, and they will be hit directly head-on, bringing a series of flesh and blood......

After a round of stubborn suffering, the Qing army continued to bombard the city with the remaining dozens of mighty cannons.

At this time, they gradually entered the real combat state, pointing at the eight large Franc cannons and trebuchets to fire. So after this round of artillery salvo fire from the Qing army, the Chiayi defenders directly lost three Franc cannons and four trebuchets, causing dozens of people to die on the spot!

The Qing army and the Chiayi defenders almost turned into a brutal tug-of-war with a little black humor. I hit you next to you, and then I hit you next to you......

After these rounds of firing, the Qing army had only more than 1,000 people left, and the number of mighty cannons had plummeted to less than ten. However, seven of the eight Furlong cannons of the Chiayi defenders have been scrapped, and only the last one is still in use. The trebuchet has been largely shattered because of the more visible target. There were also about 500 casualties.

In the infantry camp of the Qing army in the distance, several military attachés and generals had already vigorously asked Shi Wu to fight, asking the army to go out to exterminate the rebels!

"At this time, the anti-thieves occupying Chiayi City obviously have no cannons and trebuchets, and the last general asks the boss to take the opportunity to leave the station! With one blow, you will definitely be able to take the city. ”

Shi Wu nodded: "Okay!" The remaining 8,000 troops are out to attack the city with all their might! ”

So the 8,000 infantry, who had been standing still in the rear just now, also made a mighty attack and headed towards the city wall. A high siege ladder lay horizontally, carried by many Qing soldiers, and ran towards the city wall quickly......

Looking at the Qing army coming to the city like a black cloud, the defenders at the head of the city all clenched their weapons and prepared to fight to the death with the Qing army besieging the city!

What's even more troublesome is that although the Qing army has dispatched a hundred mighty cannons just now. But in fact, this time they brought a total of one hundred and twenty gates, and the other twenty doors have been left next to Shi Wu all the time. Now it has been replenished, and it is another round of brutal artillery bombardment.

The city wall of Chiayi is almost full of holes, and the newly joined 8,000 Qing army foot soldiers have reached the foot of the city wall under the suppression of their own firepower, carrying siege ladders.

Click-click-click.

The ladder was erected by a group of people, and then leaned against the city wall. Taking advantage of the fact that the defenders at the head of the city were still dodging after the round of cannon fire just now, the Qing soldiers hurriedly climbed up the ladder like ants to the top of the city wall.

"Hurry, hurry! Archers prepare, shoot these damn Qing soldiers! Come on, push these ladders down......"

At this time, the Chiayi defenders dispatched 500 archers and shot arrows at the Qing army under the city. The Qing soldiers who were climbing on the ladder were weakly guarded, and many of them were hit by arrows and let out a terrible scream, and then fell headlong and fell to their deaths at the foot of the wall.

Even if you are lucky not to be hit by the arrow, you have already climbed more than half the distance. But it was directly overturned the ladder, and the dozen or so Qing soldiers who were still clinging to it like ants all let out a cry of fear at the same time, and collapsed impotently towards the rear - not only fell to their deaths, but also crushed some of the people behind.

The rain of arrows shot by the Chiayi defenders caused some trouble to the Qing army besieging the city, but arrows are consumables after all, and there will be fewer and fewer arrows...... And there are still so many Qing soldiers!

Xiong Li ordered: "Use 10,000 enemies!" Take out two, tie them to the bed crossbow, and shoot them out in the dense row of the mighty cannons of the quasi-Qing army. Strive for this to completely remove the fire threat of the Qing army, so that they can only attack the city with infantry. We're also prepared for hand-to-hand combat. ”

"Yes!"

His orders were carried out immediately and efficiently. The few bed crossbows were taken out, and the soldiers carefully carried out the mud-sealed "10,000 enemies". Then it was carefully fastened to a bed crossbow bolt that looked like a thick spear.

Many strong men stirred the bow shaft vigorously, pulling the tight bed crossbow open. The huge kinetic energy was accumulated, and the spear-like crossbow arrows were trembling slightly, like an angry dragon about to rush out.

Some rebel soldiers hurriedly opened the mud seal outside the "10,000 enemies" and exposed the lead. Light it with a torch!

Hiss.

The lead immediately burst into flames!

"Shoot !!"

Order. The two strong men each smashed down the hammer that had been raised high in their hands.

Whizzing!!!

Two spear-like crossbow arrows each flew away with a "10,000 enemies" that had already begun to detonate!

They only have this one chance!

However, fortunately, the accuracy of the bed crossbow was much stronger than that of the cannon, and the two crossbow arrows successfully sent 10,000 enemies to the area where the Qing army's mighty cannons were most densely arranged under the city......

Looking at the huge crossbow arrows that flew in, those Qing troops who were manipulating the cannons were naturally frightened and hurriedly dodged. After all, the bed crossbow is no joke. The lethality is extremely amazing-you must know that even Zhao Wushuang has to avoid his edge!

But at the same time, they also had some sarcasm in their hearts: no matter how strong the crossbow arrow is, it is also a kind of bow and arrow, and they actually want to use it against firearms and steel-cast iron cannons? It's just wishful thinking!
