Chapter 765: Live Retribution Under the City

"Don't come any closer, or you'll shoot arrows!!" ”
The head of the city was shouting in Mongolian, and the captives under the city naturally heard it clearly, but they did not dare to run to both sides, because there were cannons on both sides to stop them, and they did not dare to turn back, because there were bows and arrows and fire in the back.

They also knew that the people of the city would also kill them, and now that they were out of range of fire and arrows, they slowed down and cried out for the city to save them.
"Boom" was another muffled sound, another scream, and the prisoners, who had slowed down, turned back in shock, only to see that the two guns had been transferred behind them, and the muzzles of the guns were drifting away from the smoke of gunpowder.
"Run, or I'll all be killed in front of you, and fill the trench with your corpses."
The back is also yelling and urging in Mongolian, after all, the front is his own people, and he will be more or less soft, and the back must be ruthless, and the captives are loudly begging the people at the head of the city to keep their hands, while continuing to move forward.
Wang Tong once had an evaluation of the Naturalization City, but it was a stronger place than Cangzhou City, in fact, this Naturalization City was still more than twice as large as Cangzhou City, and the city defense was much stronger.
But the benchmark of Cangzhou City is really not high, although the height of the city wall is high, the people under the city can also see the appearance of the defenders on the head of the city, everyone is serving in the same army, and they are all acquainted with each other.
The companions below cried out their names, and let their men show mercy, but they couldn't do it, and a few hundred paces were not too far away, and someone had already dropped something into the trench and began to run backwards, and a commander at the head of the city was there lying on his stomach and looking, and suddenly yelled at the head of the city.
The surrounding soldiers all looked at him in surprise and hesitated, and the commander drew his knife and slashed down a man standing by the battlement, raising his knife and giving a loud order.
There was a loud roar in front of the head of the city and behind the city walls, and many people were crying, and several cannons at the head of the naturalized city opened fire, "the soldiers also drew their bows and shot downwards", and the trebuchets creaked, and the stone and mud bombs began to be thrown outward.
The Tartar captives, whose area of action was confined to the area, immediately screamed and cried, and some of them did not even run, but stood there pointing at the city and crying and scolding.
This time there were really not too many casualties, because the artillery and bows and arrows at the head of the city could not be used for many, and the only ones that could kill and wound were the stone bullets and mud bullets of the trebuchet, many people dropped things, and they didn't care about the death or injury of their companions, they turned their heads and ran to the back, killing people on both sides, and the left and right were forced to this point, and they could only fill the trenches according to the threat of the Ming army.
Dropped something, and began to run backwards again, returning to the position of the Ming army, but now the Ming army prepared spirits for them" The wine in the wooden bowl smelled fragrant, and drank it, and the foreign body seemed to be on fire up and down, such a good wine, only the nobles in the city could drink it, and I didn't think that it could be at such a life-and-death juncture.
After drinking this wine, "people were involuntarily excited, and the people of the Ming army seemed to be devils, and said with a smile, as long as you continue to fill it, you will still have such a strong drink when you come back."
Luo fetus is good willow, Mongolian wine is good, this is an allusion in the Song Dynasty, there is such a strong wine, the Tartar captives have forgotten everything, "it is a matter of death if you don't go, there is a good wine to drink" Even if you die, it is worth it, the Tartar captives all screamed "Running towards the city with bricks and stones, the pace is much faster, and I want to come back and take another sip, "You are the warriors of the Great Khan, why did you give Ming Gou to death, pick up weapons and fight with Ming Gou, and when you get to the Immortal Heaven, you will also have good fortune!" ”
At the head of the city there was a loud roar, bows and arrows, stones, and a few earthen cannons, and the captives below cried and threw down the stones, or died at the hands of their own men, or went back and drank a good drink.
This scene is a tragedy in the eyes of the captives, but in the eyes of the Ming army is a good show, the Ming army is shouting in the position, the sound of cheering continues, this is really a live retribution, yesterday the captives drove the Han people foot soldiers to attack the battle, today we drive the Tartar captives to fill the trenches, it is really very happy.
"1 fucking day!! When Lao Tzu was twelve years old, he went to the city to kill the Tartars, and the Tartars collected the people from all over the country to attack the city, and Lao Tzu watched my uncle's family attack the city at the head of the city, he looked at me, I looked at him, crying together, howling, "But I still have to take the stone and smash it down!" ”
In the Ming army, some people howled as they spoke, and then shouted in front of them when they cried: "There is also today." There is also today, "God opens his eyes, God opens his eyes!" ”
"My brother was grabbed by his shoes, and the next day he was dragged alive by a horse in front of the battle, I wanted to rush out, but I was hugged by the people around me, brother, look at it in the sky, are you happy!"
The border soldiers of Jizhen and Datong Town have been in the border town for a long time, and they have seen it with their own eyes, and they have experienced many miserable things that I don't know how much" Seeing such a situation in front of them, I couldn't help but cry and enjoy it, and some of them were excited to cry and laugh there.
Wang Tong rode on his horse, watched the position in front of him under the watchful eye of his personal guards, and the heralds went back and forth between the various armies, passing orders from all over to Wang Tong.
"Great marshal, there are Tartar cavalry approaching on the right flank, after firing the cannon, the enemy cavalry retreats" "Great marshal, there are nearly 2,000 enemy cavalry approaching in the rear, but they are far away and dare not move forward!" ”
"Handsome ......"
The prisoners are not just defending this city" Wang Tong's army is concentrated on one side of the city, and the rest of the city gates have been open, and there are constantly cavalry entering and leaving, but after yesterday's battle, the Tartar generals also know that as long as the Ming army is lined up, it is difficult for the cavalry to break through, and it is only dead and wounded in vain.
"Dashuai, do you send a horse team to pursue those tribes that have escaped, these tribes have a lot of oil and water, and they may not have combat effectiveness!"
General Tan asked in a low voice on the side, Wang Tong shook his head, and said: "They can't go fast, and they can't go far, and after the city is broken, they will send a horse team to chase after them, and they can catch up!" ”
"Dashuai, I'm afraid that the nobles of the Ministry of Answers will also go through the other city gates" Then this time it is not in vain! ”
Tan will be Wang Tong's guard leader, Wang Tong's housekeeper, at this time, is also Wang Tong's staff officer, Wang Tong stared at the city in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go, this time I came, it was for this city, not for the people in the city, because of the key position of Tumochuan, this fertile land flourished, without Tumochuan, without the land cultivated by these Han people, they are nothing, we know, they also know, they will inevitably defend it." ”
Speaking of this, a sneer pulled out at the corner of Wang Tong's mouth, and he said again: "They must think that we can't take this city before we run out of food and grass, and the prisoners in the city probably want to take advantage of it when we withdraw our troops." ”
General Tan turned his head to look at the artillery position on the side, and said with emotion in a low voice: "Marshal, not only did the captives not expect it, but also the subordinates and others did not expect it, the subordinates watched yesterday's battle, and they were happy on one side, and they felt old on the other side. ”
Listening to General Tan's emotion, Wang Tong shook his head and smiled, but he didn't answer, people who are used to the era of cold weapons will feel whether they are still useful when they see the power of real hot weapons.
The battlefield was not a sentimental occasion either, and the general soon changed the subject, and the shoe captives were already mad with alcohol, and seemed to know death and pain, and ran back and forth to transport earth and stones, and people kept dying under the arrows and earth and stones in the city, and they had not eaten since they were captured, and some people ran and ran, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and died of exhaustion on the road.
"Dashuai, are the drags dying too much, and these people can't fill in too much earthwork."
"Garbage that is not worth a penny, if you die, let them toss, but let the morale of the madman decline a little more."
Wang Tong explained with a smile, stood up on the stirrups, looked at the boat battlefield in front of him, and said again: "This gang of miscellaneous people is almost dead."
In the eyes of the Ming army, the captives have always been similar to wild beasts, and these prisoners who drank alcohol and did not care about life and death deepened their impression, the trench did not know how much to fill, but the number of captives was decreasing, and the last person stumbled backwards after throwing a basket of soil into the trench.
This person is tall and strong, he has been hit by two arrows in the back, and he is still alive, but he is walking slower and slower, and his steps have changed from stepping to staggering, and when he is still a dozen steps away from the Ming army's position, he is dressed in a red face and is dressed in a rough manner, "Stretched out his hand to the Ming army's position, and roared in Mongolian."
Naturally, there are people here who can understand, and they explain there, "This godson wants to drink!" The hundred households in front of the formation looked at it in disgust, looked back, and saw Yang Jin making a gesture over there, and the hundred households turned around and picked up their bows and arrows, stretched their bows and arrows, and nailed an arrow to the forehead of the prisoner.
The last captive died, and the noisy battlefield was much quieter, but in the head of the city of Guihua, you could hear cries and scolding, and this sound sounded to the ears of the Ming officers and soldiers, as if it was as pleasant as an opera.
"Clean up the front, the artillery team comes forward!"
Someone shouted Wang Tong's order, and the soldiers in front of the formation quickly threw the masonry and debris used to fill the trench into the cart, pushed the cart away, and the artillery team began to move the artillery forward.
The artillery team of Jizhen did not operate its own artillery, their shells and gunpowder were taken by the artillery of the Huwei Army, and their manpower also helped and received command from the artillery of the Huwei Army.
At this time, the small cannons of one and two catties no longer have the qualifications to step forward, and the three-catty cannons will not be placed in the center, and the six-catty cannons and the nine-catty cannons don't seem to be the protagonists.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
There was a loud shout, and the soldiers had dodged wide enough, but they were still moving backwards, and three cannons were dragged forward, each of which was pulled by sixteen horses.
