Chapter 236: Offensive and Defensive Battles (8)
The smoke of gunpowder cleared, and the entire urn city was full of severed limbs and stump arms, and the ground was full of blood-stained rebels, some of whom only had half of their bodies left, their stomachs dragging on the ground, and they moaned weakly; Some only half of their faces remained, their white brains stained red with blood and sprinkled all over the ground, and their hands and feet were still twitching; Coupled with the terrible screams of the rebels who did not lose their breath, the gate of the urn city became a hell on earth.
The violent explosion and the tragic situation in the urn city made the rebels who followed closely behind extremely frightened, and they crowded to stay near the gate of the urn city, never daring to storm the urn city again.
The leader of the rebel army learned from the description of the rebels who escaped from the urn city that there was another garrison of about 500 people in the urn city, and just now they threw out sparkling packages, which exploded in the middle of the soldiers, and the power of the explosion seemed to be similar to the power of the divine fire flying crow launched by the rocket car, so it caused the fear of his soldiers.
As soon as he heard that there were only more than 500 people on the other side, the rebel leader was a little contemptuous, he did not think that the other party's 500 men could defeat his own 3,000 men.
He has 3,000 soldiers under his command, as well as eight generals' chariots and eight rocket chariots, which can also fire powerful explosives.
Although the opponent's defenders have strange methods and have weapons with great lethality, after all, the number of people is too small, and the attack and defense of their own chariots are equally excellent, as long as they find the opponent's ambush location, whether it is a rocket car or a general's car, as long as a salvo is fired, they can wipe out all 500 people of the opponent.
There are soldiers led by Mao Chenglu everywhere on the city wall, and the defenders at the head of the city are not able to reinforce at all, so they can easily break through the opponent's city gate and win the first merit of conquering Pingdu City in front of the marshal.
The rebel generals had wishful thinking in their hearts. He shouted at the rebel officer standing beside him: "Look at you all like bears, a small team of hundreds of people is scared like this. Damn, they all cheered up Lao Tzu. A few of you personally led your troops to storm the urn city, ordered the rocket chariot to come up, cooperate with the general's chariot, and bombard the urn city for me! ”
Soon the rebel rocket chariot and the general's chariot approached the gate of the urn city one after another, and the gate of the urn city of Pingdu City and the Chengen gate were not in a straight line, in order to prevent the enemy from breaking through the gate of the urn city with a battering ram and directly facing the main city gate.
Therefore, in order to exert its power, the rebel general's chariot must enter the urn city through the urn city gate, otherwise it will not be able to pose a threat to the main gate of Cheng'en Gate at all.
Feng Jian stood on the wall of Cheng'en Gate, staring at the rebel rocket carts and general cars that were slowly approaching the gate of the Urn City. This chariot does do great damage to the gates and their defenders.
The rocket cart moved to the gate of the city of Wengcheng, and the distance between it and the Cheng'en Gate was shortened, and the divine fire flying crow it launched would cause great damage to the city gate and the guards hiding in the city gate hole, once the rebels had the opportunity to fire at the Cheng'en Gate, not only Fan Li's 500 people would be in danger, but even the Cheng'en Gate would be seriously damaged.
Huang Jinjiang looked at the chariots lined up by the rebels at the gate of Wengcheng, and couldn't help but say anxiously: "The rebel rocket car launched at this position will hurt the city gate and Fan Li a lot, and the rebel rocket car must not be allowed to succeed!" ”
Feng Jian looked directly at the rebel chariot at the gate of the urn city. Suddenly, he said to Huang Jinjiang on his side: "Omi, throw the gunpowder bag to the rebel chariot position from here, can you throw it to the rebel chariot position?" ”
Huang Jinjiang seemed to have thought about this question for a long time, and said, "Subordinates visually inspect." There are about 50 steps between the city wall of Cheng'en Gate and the gate of Wengcheng, and with the elite level of the soldiers of our Zhenshan Battalion, they stand at the head of the city and throw gunpowder packs downward with both hands. Some of them were barely able to throw themselves into the rebel tanks. ”
Feng Jian no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered: "Immediately select a hundred soldiers with strong arms." Throw a powder pack at the rebel tank position. ”
At the sound of the order, a hundred soldiers of the Earthquake Mountain Battalion immediately raised the prepared gunpowder packets high. The soldiers next to him lit a powder line for him.
"Sneer"
The gunpowder line burned rapidly, and as Feng Jian shouted, the soldier who had already held back his strength quickly threw the gunpowder bag in his hand towards the position of the rebel chariot.
Hundreds of gunpowder packets flew towards the rebel position with a trace of green smoke, most of which landed at a position of more than forty paces, which happened to be where the rebel soldiers were, and only a few gunpowder packets flew into the middle of the rebel chariot.
"Boom Boom"
The continuous explosions once again raged in the ranks of the rebels outside the urn city, and the earth and rocks that were broken by the explosion flew in all directions, and the scene that had just been inside the urn city was once again displayed in the rebel ranks.
A few powder packs exploded between the rocket cart and the general's vehicle, but a few powder packs did not cause much damage to the vehicle compared to the vehicle's sturdy shell.
The nearly 3,000 rebels at the gate of the city of Wengcheng suddenly exploded and fled in all directions, they could no longer stand this kind of hellish torture on earth.
The rebel leader's face was stained with blood, and the explosion just now blew up the flesh and blood of the soldiers around him, and the dead and wounded rolled all around him, and the rebels who attacked the city gate turned into a rout.
The first to suffer were the rocket carts and the general's carts, and the soldiers who were protecting the chariots followed and joined the fleeing ranks, and several chariots bore the brunt of the fleeing rebels, and the rebels in the chariots were trapped inside and could not escape.
The leader of the rebel army loudly ordered the guards around him: "Go and ask Deputy General Mao for help to stop the soldiers from escaping." ”
After the guards left, the rebel leader shouted again: "Those who retreat are dead, and they will rush into the city." "His guards formed an array and crushed the fleeing rebels with knives and spears.
Taking advantage of the chaos of the rebels outside the urn city and no time to attack the city gate, Fan Li commanded his 500 soldiers to climb the wall of the urn city, and the gunpowder bag in his hand rained down into the chaotic rebel ranks.
Looking at the puffs of smoke mixed with the human body rolling in the air, Fan Li and other soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion seemed to have adapted to this bloody scene, these rebels wantonly burned and looted within a radius of 100 miles, and they had long been unforgivable, and now they deserved to be killed.
Those who dare to confront the Zhenshan Battalion are the enemies of the Zhenshan Battalion, and their fate is only to be trampled on the soles of their feet by the Zhenshan Battalion and bow their heads, which is the thought that has been filled in the hearts of every officer and soldier of the Zhenshan Battalion for a long time, and it has been well implemented by the officers who led the troops in every battle.
The smoke cleared, and the rebels on the verge of life and death cried and howled their fathers and mothers. A small number of mentally broken rebels slashed through the crowd with swords and guns, struggling to run towards the moat passages. At the head of the city, there were still many rebel soldiers scurrying around like flies.
Fan Li said coldly: "Continue to bomb, and don't have mercy on these rebels who kill innocent people." ”
The gunpowder packets at the head of the city flew down again into the middle of the rebels running across the moat. This time the rebel leader was no longer lucky, a gunpowder bag happened to fall in front of him and a group of personal soldiers, looking at the "snorting" smoking gunpowder bag, the rebel leader could no longer care about preventing the rebels from escaping, he jumped up and fled, but his luck was not good, the gunpowder bag suddenly exploded, leaving only some mutilated corpses and broken armor blades in place after the explosion.
Mao Chenglu stared blankly at the soldiers who fled from the gate of the urn city. With shock written on his face, 3,000 people attacked the other party's city gate, and they had already seen the hope of success, but suddenly the situation was reversed, which was indeed shocking!
Obviously, the officers and soldiers defending the city have been hiding the explosion as a big killer, just to strike at their own besieging side at a critical moment and play a huge deterrent role.
It's ridiculous that Kong Youde and his own people are still delusional about attacking the city with all their might, even if it costs a little more. In one fell swoop, he took the city in front of him, and when he thought about it at this moment, he was shocked into a cold sweat, since the other party was able to create an explosion near Weng City, he could naturally create an explosion on both sides of the city wall.
Now the soldiers who attacked the gates of the city suddenly fled. It will inevitably cause panic among the soldiers on both sides of the city wall, and if the other side throws explosives directly under the city, it will inevitably lead to a situation where the whole army will flee in the end.
Mao Chenglu didn't dare to think about it. He shouted loudly to the guards around him: "Stop the attack on the walls on both sides by beating the drums, and don't stop the firearms shooting." It is also necessary to increase the intensity of shooting, and must suppress the defenders at the head of the city. Don't give them time to throw explosives down the city. ”
Seeing that the three thousand rebels fled in a hurry, and the city wall and the rebel soldiers who were besieging the city were also retreating to the other side of the moat, Fan Li was a little anxious, and he couldn't let these rebels leave so calmly.
Now on the other side of the moat, there are still rebels on the other side of the city, and the defenders of the city head who are suppressed by long-range firearms hardly dare to show their heads, and the soldiers on the city wall cannot throw gunpowder packs under the city at all.
Fan Li thought for a while, and then directly led his five hundred soldiers to rush out of the gate of the urn city with two tiger squat cannons, and quickly lined up in formation, and the sword and shield soldiers protected the two tiger squat cannons in front.
The gunners stood in the last column, and the gunners aimed the muzzles of the tiger squat guns at the positions of the rebels' ranged soldiers on both sides of the city gate.
Outside the urn city, only the corpses of the rebels were left all over the ground, weapons and blades, and the majestic chariot just now suddenly stopped in the middle of the urn city and the drawbridge, and the gunners in the car had already fled with the rebels.
After the artillery man skillfully loaded the artillery with scattered bullets, Fan Li pointed to the direction of the rebel ranged soldier and waved his hand violently, and the two tiger squat guns "boomed" in two directions, one left and one right, and a large number of scattered bullets were fanned and splashed towards the rebel ranged soldiers.
The rebel ranged soldiers were only protected by shield carts on the front, but the scattered shells of the tiger squat cannon were whistling from the side, and in an instant, there were bursts of terrible screams from behind the shield carts, and a large group of shooters were covered in blood and rolled to the ground.
Suddenly attacked by the tiger squat cannon, the rebel shooters were in chaos, many shooters in the team aimed their guns at the gate of the urn city, and the lead "tom" shot at the opponent, regardless of whether the shot could hurt the opponent.
Fan Li saw that the rebels on the right side had a large number of firearms, and the rebels were also shooting at the city on the right side, and shouted: "All the birds are shooting at the rebels on the right!" ”
In an instant, more than 100 Mini bullets whistled and fired at the rebel shooter on the right, and more than 20 people in the crowd on the other side rolled to the ground covered in blood.
After a short panic, the rebel shooters on both sides of the city wall invariably pointed their guns and bows at Fan Li and others, and the soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion around Fan Li also began to suffer casualties.
At this time, the gunner once again loaded the two Tiger Squat guns with scattered shells, and the scattered shells swept into the middle of the rebel shooters again, and the rebel shooters' camp began to become unstable, and the number of shots decreased significantly.
The rebels on both sides of the city wall received the order of Mao Chenglu to retreat, and it was like an amnesty, wishing that they would have a pair of wings on their bodies and quickly fly away from this dangerous place.
At the head of the city, Zhao Shougang saw that the rebel firearms troops were attracted by Fan Li and others, and the rebels under the city wall were about to flee, so he immediately shouted: "All the soldiers immediately throw gunpowder packs under the city." ”!! (To be continued......)
