Chapter 298: Urn City Fire Attack

"In the future, I will definitely train some archers, this thing is much higher than the rate of fire of a musket. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" was protected by several pro-soldiers with shields, and Ren Siqi said to Huang Feng beside him.

"It takes three years to train an archer, and a musketeer only a few months, and the musket is far more powerful than a bow and arrow, and it is not cost-effective." Huang Fengwu listened carefully to the movements under the city and replied casually.

"Hey, don't you think it's a little strange, why haven't any of the soldiers climbed to the top of the city for so long?" Huang Fengwu said suddenly.

Let Huang Fengwu say it, Ren Siqi also felt strange, the full of archers has been covering and shooting for so long, why has no one climbed the city wall?

Ren Siqi was just about to order someone to observe when he heard a loud noise.

"Full soldiers are pounding on the city gates!" Ren Siqi and Huang Fengwu reacted at once.

Because the number of soldiers outside the city was relatively small and they did not want to defend it, the Ming army did not block the city gate. It seems that the Manchurian soldiers were planning to break through the city gates and then rush in.

"Come on, prepare oil and wood, throw them down from the tower, and burn them for me!" Ren Siqi ordered loudly.

Knowing that the enemy is ramming the city gate, there is naturally a corresponding way, as long as the city head throws a large amount of dry firewood and oil to ignite it, and burns the enemy's crashing car, the enemy's attack can be broken.

"Slow!" Huang Fengwu suddenly stopped Ren Siqi's order.

"How?" Ren Siqi looked at her in surprise.

"It's not a way to fight like this, there are only more than 1,000 soldiers in the army, so it's better to let them enter the city gate."

"How's that going to work? If there were no city walls, we recruits would not be the opponents of the full army at all? Ren Siqi asked puzzled.

"Don't forget, although Jiaozhou City is small, there is an urn city inside!"

Huang Fengwu's words made Ren Siqi suddenly realize: "You mean put them in the urn city, and then gather and annihilate them!" ”

Huang Fengwu smiled and nodded.

"But the full army archers are too powerful, we only have about seventy musketeers left, although they have the advantage of being above and below, but I'm afraid they are not their opponents!" Ren Siqi was still a little worried.

In terms of long-range firepower, the Daishan army and the Manchu people are now very different, if the Manchus really let the Manchus enter the urn city, hundreds of archers attack from top to bottom, and the Manchu soldiers take the opportunity to kill the city wall from the horse road, then the general trend is gone.

"The time and place of the war are exquisite, put them into the small area of the urn city, attack from all sides, and the location is completely occupied by us. If you can't beat that, just wash your neck and let them cut it down. ”

Huang Fengwu said to Ren Siqi angrily.

"Well, this battle is up to you!" Ren Siqi knew that his ability to fight was much worse than Huang Fengwu's, so he asked for the right to command.

After getting Ren Siqi's authorization, Huang Fengwu immediately issued an order, and thousands of soldiers were busy, piling up a large number of flammable materials such as dry firewood, thatch, and wooden planks on the walls around the urn city, and then moved to the head of the city with a large number of oil tanks, lime bottles, etc.

A few soldiers who knew how to weave reed mats even weaved four or five hollow rattan balls out of wooden rattan, filled with a large amount of thatch, and then splashed with vegetable oil.

Just as the Ming army at the head of the city was preparing, the sound of people banging on the city gate became heavier and heavier.

Dozens of Ming soldiers pressed against the city gate inside the city gate, one by one they were shocked by the impact and vomited blood, and they had no choice but to use a large number of wooden sticks against the city gate.

However, this could not stop the Manchu attack, and half an hour later, with the heavy impact of the Manchu battering ram, the thick iron-clad gate was smashed apart. Seeing that the city gate was broken, dozens of Ming soldiers defending the city gate hurriedly ran towards the city.

After crashing the city gate, the soldiers hurriedly withdrew the crashing car from the city and cleared the obstacles inside the city gate. Then, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a hundred cavalry rushed into the city gate and killed directly into the city, but to their shock, there was still a city gate in front of them.

In the past few decades, the Manchurians have captured more than one Daming city, and naturally they also know the structure of the urn city, and they have long been prepared for this.

One hundred Manchurian cavalry was divided into two parts, one part restrained the war horse, drew a bow and arrow, and aimed the bow and arrow at the head of the city, but to their surprise, there was no Ming army on the wall of the urn city. So the other half of the full army instigated the war horses and went directly along the horse path to the city wall.

However, before they could reach the city wall, a row of pikemen appeared at the end of the horse road, and the sharp spears were aimed at the Manchu Qing under the horse road.

From the bottom up, the horses could not run fast, and the horse roads were narrow, so the cavalry could not break through the resistance of the spears at all.

Seeing that the Ming soldiers were prepared, the cavalry had to retreat to the urn city.

The other part of the cavalry in the urn city fired arrows at the Ming pikemen who appeared, but they were blocked by the shields they raised.

At this time, more and more full infantry poured into the urn city, and a group of elite full soldiers with mace and iron axes and other heavy weapons along the horse road to attack upward, although attacking from the bottom up, they were also confident to repel the resistance of the Ming army and attack the city.

The battering ram was pushed back into the urn city, towards the inner gate. As long as you break open the inner city gate again, you can enter Jiaozhou City. However, the inner gate of the urn city is not on the same line as the outer city gate, and the space of the urn city is narrow, and the radius is only dozens of steps, and the huge battering ram is inconvenient to turn, so it cannot directly hit the inner city gate.

I had no choice but to transport a short log from outside the city, and more than a dozen full soldiers carried it, and went directly to hit the inner gate of the urn city.

More and more full soldiers entered the urn city, some of them attacked the city wall along the horse road on both sides, and fought with the Ming army guarding the horse road, most of them with bows and arrows, and carried out covering shooting towards the city head. There were five or six hundred soldiers gathered in the small urn city.

"Let's go!" Looking at the heads of the people in the urn city, Huang Fengwu waved his hand fiercely.

With Huang Fengwu's gesture, dozens of muskets crossed the gap of the Ming army and fired at the full soldiers who attacked the horse road.

In front of them, the hearts of the soldiers were overjoyed, and they were about to take the opportunity to attack, when suddenly a huge fireball rolled down from the road.

The fireballs filled with thatch and vegetable oil in the reed weave were completely ignited, and tumbled down the horse path, and the blazing heat rushed towards them, and the soldiers on the horse road were scattered one by one, desperately trying to dodge, but there was nowhere to hide.

The fireball jumped from top to bottom, and wherever it passed, flames splashed, and the clothes of the soldiers were not ignited.

The rattan balls made of wooden rattan were extremely elastic, jumping down the horse path, and then bounced into the full army of the urn city, and the fire was burning everywhere it passed. (To be continued.) )
