At the next moment, the horn of the bull sounded in the first camp. The major battalions around the civil fort suddenly sounded loudly. The phalanxes of various arms that stood still began to move.
Jin Liang and Chen Ji had already been informed and had been waiting for a long time in the West Gate Tower. Orders had already been issued, waiting for the Watts' army to attack.
Jin Liang looked at the musketeers and archers who were waiting on the city wall, as well as the grenade shooters, and silently calculated in his heart where the main attack was and where the assist was located.
"General Jin, Chen should go to the East Gate." Chen Ji was also thinking about it, and felt that it was better for him and Jin Liang to be separated.
Jin Liang nodded and said, "It's okay, no matter where the main attack is decided first, the two of us can still echo each other in the east and west gates." ”
After Chen Ji clenched his fists, he hurried away with his personal guards......
With a wave of the scimitar in his hand, all the soldiers suddenly exerted their strength, and the wooden deer car increased its speed and rushed towards the trench in front. Lifu, who was carrying the wooden platoon in the back, hurriedly followed with a roar.
Fifty zhang, forty zhang, thirty zhang.
Why is there no sound of firearms?
Rusitz couldn't help but feel a little surprised, remember that it wasn't like this a few days ago, there should be thunder here? Could it be that the southern barbarians are not buried?
Disheveled! With a roar, a black cloud flew overhead and fell into the trench thirty feet ago.
Twenty zhang, fifteen zhang, ten zhang......
The wooden deer cart began to crush the arrows all over the ground.
Lusitz secretly looked ahead, only to see a trench protruding in front of him, and saw the southern barbarians crowding on the edge of the ditch. A hand shield is adorned with white feathered arrows. But the firearm was facing him, and he was taken aback, and hurriedly retracted his head.
Disheveled! There was a black cloud rushing in.
Lusitz hurriedly shouted: "Shield! ”
The soldiers pushing the wooden deer cart were in a hurry. One after another. The soldiers who carried the wooden platoon were already under the wooden platoon, so there was no need for a shield.
Burst! Burst! Burst!
A rain of arrows fell.
Lusitz didn't dare to hesitate, hurriedly waved the scimitar in his hand, and shouted: "Advance wooden platoon assault!" Ditch the ditch! ”
The speed of the three hundred wooden deer carts in front of them slowed down, and in the gap between the wooden deer carts, more than 100 wooden platoons rushed out wildly, and they were carried by the soldiers to the front trench.
Bang bang bang......
Muskets?! Lusitz breathed a sigh of relief. Finally with a musket! It's not just thunder!
Some of the soldiers at the front of the wooden platoon were shot, and the wooden platoon suddenly slammed into the ground. Some of them are fierce and not afraid of death. After being shot, he still ran forward with a wooden platoon.
Burst! Burst! Burst!
Arrow rain again!
There was a pause in the gunshots.
There was a cheer from the front, and Lusitz hurriedly looked over and saw dozens of wooden rafts laid out on the trench, and he was immediately overjoyed.
"Lord Rusitz. The southern barbarians were defeated by the rain of arrows and retreated along the trench! A strong soldier came running with a wooden shield to give a report.
When Lusitz heard this, he hurriedly opened his voice and shouted: "Mulu car! Push through the trenches! Keep up with the wooden rafts in the back! Fast! That's you! ”
The speed of the wooden deer car suddenly became a lot faster......
Chen Yuan ran over panting, and as soon as he entered the second trench, he opened his throat and asked, "Where is Zheng Qianhu?" ”
A black-clothed pawn looked ahead without raising his head and replied, "In the middle of the left ditch!" ”
When Chen Yuan heard this, he hurriedly ordered the signal soldiers who followed behind to shout: "Inform all the brothers to disperse!" Destroy the longitudinal ditch! Check the guns! Meet the enemy side by side with Zheng Qianhu's battalion! ”
When several signal soldiers heard this, they dispersed violently, bowed down and rushed out with guns in their hands to deliver the news.
Chen Yuan turned around and ran towards the left ditch with his personal guards......
Tong Hang holds a telescope. Looking at the smoke rising between the fourth and fifth trenches, as well as the fragments of the wooden deer cart that flew up, I couldn't help but hook the corners of my mouth and smile on my face.
It seems that Jin Liang is carrying out the recovery of troops. A plan to let the Tile Thorns take the initiative to step on the thunder!
"Hao Tianyang, has Hou Xingyu come back?"
When Hao Tianyang heard Tong Hang's question, he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty." Battalion Commander Hou hasn't come back yet! ”
"Didn't come back? That is to say, the location of the trebuchet installation of the Tile Thorns has not yet been discovered. Fortunately, the installation of trebuchets can not be installed in a moment, so there is no hurry! "It's not so much to comfort Hao Tianyang, it's better to comfort yourself. Tong Hang settled down and asked again: "Are the special combat teams arranged by Director Li in place?" ”
"Instructor, Director Li has been here, and he didn't bother when he saw that you were resting. I told my subordinates that I wanted them to report to them. Subordinate...... subordinates ......", Hao Tianyang suddenly became anxious, how could he forget such an important matter.
Tong Hang turned around and asked, "What did Director Li say?" ”
"Subordinate...... The subordinates forgot. Hao Tianyang was in a hurry, and he couldn't remember what Li Luoqing said to him. He was in a daze, and he really didn't remember!
"Report to the instructor, Director Li said that except for the Chinese team, which is far away, the rest of the special combat teams are all in place!" A guard next to him, who was five big and three thick, with a long beard under his chin, replied with a fist.
Tong Hang nodded and said, "Very good!" Your name is Li Yao, a native of Shaanxi, and you have spent time in the Liaodong Border Army, right? ”
Li Yao hurriedly bowed down and responded: "Yes!" ”
Tong Hang looked at Hao Tianyang and said, "Camp Commander Hao, you have to have a long brain, remember what you should remember, don't worry about food all day long!" ”
Hao Tianyang sweated profusely and promised.
"Send a signal corps to inform the Duke of Chengguo, the Duke of England and Gong Shunbo, first-class combat readiness! Pull open the net and wait for the fish to enter the net! ”
Hao Tianyang breathed a sigh of relief lightly and hurriedly agreed to make arrangements. I swore in my heart that nothing like this would happen again!
On the battlefield outside the east gate, thunder and explosions roared.
More than 5,000 lifu, carrying shields and swords, lined up in a scattered formation, urging the horses to run forward, driving out more than 10,000 horses without saddles, and galloping towards the trench in front. Five thousand foot soldiers behind, the wooden platoon above their heads rushed forward. More than 10,000 cavalry behind gathered into a dense matrix, and under the command of the second son of Ala, they methodically shot out a rain of arrows. The rain of arrows was like a black devil with teeth and claws, rushing over the heads of the foot soldiers, past the thunderous Lifu cavalry, and pouring in front of and behind the fifth trench of the Southern Barbarians.
Between the dense matrix in front and Boyan Timur, there were hundreds of siege vehicles walking slowly. Among the 100 siege vehicles, more than 30 were hollowed out inside, and they were filled with the ten trebuchets that Tong Hang was looking for.
Boyan Timur led 3,000 elite horsemen to supervise the battle in the rear. At this time, he was anxious. He didn't expect the Southern Barbarian's thunderstorm array to be so powerful, and because he was far away from Ximen a few days ago, he couldn't be as immersive as he was now. Along the way, the dead horses and the stumps and severed arms of the soldiers scattered everywhere, the broken flesh and intestines, and the blood-stained scorched earth everywhere made people can't help but retch. Even a handsome man like him, who manipulated tens of thousands of people to fight and was accustomed to seeing a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, had green eyes. The Southern Barbarians are so cruel! If you want to hit you, you can fight with real knives and guns, why use this kind of firearm? It's so fucking hurtful!
The roar stopped, and a moment later, there was a cheer ahead.
"What?" Boyan Timur was stunned.
I saw a cavalry galloping over, shouting all the way to Boyan Timur, and excitedly reported loudly: "Hao Shuai, the front army has captured a trench of the Southern Barbarians!" ”
"Good!" Boyan Timur said excitedly and loudly: "Order Saitoshuai to continue to drive the horses forward and capture the fourth trench of the Southern Barbarians!" ”
The horseman shouted his promise and left.
"Order Lord Wu to clear the site between the fifth and fourth trenches, and unload the trebuchet for installation!" A soldier rushed out on horseback and looked for the Han officer.
That Han man, Lord Wu, named Jin Sheng, was originally a vicious murderer and death row prisoner in the Ming Dynasty. On the day of the execution, he was robbed by his comrades, and then fled the border and threw himself into the spurs. Because there are more than 1,000 bandits, they are quite appreciated first, and Wu Jinsheng is also very popular in the tile spur. In this attack on Daming, he was also brought first, and for him, it was quite a bit of a feeling of returning home. Although the people of the Ming Dynasty didn't like him, he killed the people and picked up grain and grass, and never called him tired. Therefore, it also made it more reused with him first. This time he came to Dongmen, his main duty was to protect the 5,000 Han craftsmen and slaves, and it was more appropriate to say that he was powerful and prosperous in these Han slaves.
As soon as Lord Wu heard the message, he immediately called out to his subordinates, using a long whip and machete, urging the craftsmen and slaves to unload the trebuchet parts from the more than 30 crashing cars, remove the corpses, and set up the trebuchet.
The craftsman slaves were frightened and hurried with their hands in the sound of explosions again.
Looking at the smoke rising in front of him, the horses screaming, and the soldiers screaming, Wu Jinsheng couldn't help but feel the kindness of Boyan Timur. If you let yourself take the lead, how can you still die! (To be continued)
