Chapter 114: Siege
The artillery salvo of the Ming army played four rounds before stopping, Yu Xuezhong jumped up, held his sword high and prepared to direct the coats to continue to advance, but he didn't expect a boom, and an iron ball weighing a few pounds roared into the crowd, Li Yun, who was hanging his left hand, suddenly disappeared in the blood mist in the sky, and the stumps and flesh were sprinkled one after another, and the paste was full of Sun Xiaping, who was closely following him, the iron ball rebounded, crossed the top of Sun Xiaping's head and plunged into the crowd behind him, a coat was broken by the waist, and a large mass of internal organs gushed out, The heart-rending screams of the wounded soldiers came and went.
Sun Xiaping was so frightened that his soul was scattered, he searched for a long time, where could he still find Li Yun's body? He looked back and saw that the Bao Yi who was beaten in two was not dead, he blinked at him in pain, everyone's scalp was numb, and he subconsciously slowed down, Yu Xuezhong ran over with a knife, slashed the Bao Yi who was still blinking, and said sharply to everyone: "Go forward, hurry up!" ”
"Ahh At this time, Sun Xiaping knelt down, looked at the place where Li Yun was standing, and cried.
Xie Zhengyang covered his mouth and followed closely with the coated team with his neck shrunk, there are not many ways to carry the flag, unless he fights a few battles and makes some contributions, he is called an elite soldier, and he can eat two meals a day, but it is not easy to eat these two meals.
Yu Xuezhong whipped Sun Xiaping's back fiercely, and scolded sharply: "Get up, hurry up when the Ming army's artillery is loaded, hurry up, keep up with the team......"
Unexpectedly, he accidentally stepped on a few pieces of minced meat, Yu Xuezhong stumbled and almost fell, waiting for him to see what was on the ground. is also so frightened that his throat keeps rolling up and down, swallowing saliva.
The Zhenglan Banner team suffered two more volleys, and there were many casualties. The ladders and carts were all replaced, and looking down at the battlefield, about a mile north of Mopan City, corpses were stacked on top of each other, and the dead were still in various postures, full of craters and dark red plasma, and there were all kinds of scattered instruments and dropped blades. flags and so on, but Yu Xuezhong and the others followed the crowd and finally approached the earth city not far from Mopan City. The original obstacles embedded in the open space had been cleared in the previous sieges, and Yu Xuezhong looked up and saw that several ladders had been erected on both sides of the gate of Mopan City. There are also countless ladders erected on the east and west sides of Mopan City. Below the walls were all ants wriggling in people.
Yu Xuezhong put one hand on his forehead and looked at the city wall, the horse armor behind him had already boarded the earth city and began to shoot at the Ming army on the city wall, and on his left, a heavy crash truck had slowly crossed the pontoon bridge erected on the moat under the impetus of countless people.
Yu Xuezhong had some expectations in his heart, looking at the scene, it was very likely to attack the city wall today.
In fact. It has been almost a month since the siege of Mopan City, and the number of times Houjin has attacked the city wall is very small. Yu Xuezhong knew that at present, the Eight Banners were losing troops and generals, and the mood of the Great Khan was becoming more and more urgent, but the question was, even if he attacked the city wall, could he take Mopan City? Yu Xuezhong was not sure.
At this moment, countless Ming troops in full armor suddenly poured out from the various battlements at the head of the city, and these Ming soldiers were all holding swarthy firearms in their hands!
"Watch out for the firecrackers!" Yu Xuezhong shouted miserably, and instantly shrank and hid behind a stacked bridge car, and at this time, the miserable gong sound also sounded.
Xie Zhengyang, who was caught off guard, only to see the white mist at the head of the city spread violently, and then his body was stunned, and two blood mist bursts in his chest.
"What's going on?" Xie Zhengyang felt that the strength in his body was instantly drained, and he fell backwards, and the white mist on the city in the distance was converging into a large ball.
Just when Xie Zhengyang swallowed his last breath, a piece of the coating team had already fallen, and a cloud of blood mist appeared from many people's bodies, and the corpses were beaten and flew out backwards, screaming one after another.
Yes?
Sun Zhendong beside Sun Xiaping was so frightened that he turned around and ran, only to run two steps A blood arrow bloomed from behind him, Sun Zhendong staggered two steps and fell forward, not dead for a while, the iron penetrated into the body and crushed many internal organs, the huge pain made him stick his hands in the ground, his feet kicked desperately, and his mouth let out a beast-like howl.
Second uncle?
Sun Xiaping was shocked, and hurriedly ran over, Sun Zhendong is a fellow villager in the same village, and his father is the same generation, since the abduction of more than their family, Sun Xiaping and the doll survived to Liaodong, I didn't think that the second uncle couldn't survive after all.
Sun Xiaping's ankles tightened, his footing was unstable and he fell down to the sky, and Yu Xuezhong's cold voice came: "The Ming army's artillery is about to be released again, and the past is death!" ”
Sun Xiaping snorted and tears on his face, he suddenly howled loudly, kicked away Yu Xuezhong's hand and turned over and climbed up, and crawled towards Sun Zhendong's car with both hands and feet, at this moment, there was another explosion at the head of the city, and the fire and smoke spewed out one after another, and more people were shot and fell to the ground.
Sun Xiaping endured the hellish howl behind him, and finally crawled to Sun Zhendong's side with the whistling iron, but Sun Zhendong, who was still struggling just now, no longer moved, Sun Xiaping looked at the huge blood hole on his back helplessly, and only after a moment did he think of turning Sun Zhendong over, Sun Zhendong's eyes were wide open, and he had already lost his breath.
"How do you explain to the third aunt when you go back?" Sun Xia came from the sorrow, hugged Sun Zhendong's body and cried loudly, the third aunt took care of the doll for him, and told his uncle and nephew to take care of each other and go back alive before the expedition......
"Dog minion, do you want to die here?" Yu Xuezhong saw that the Ming army's artillery rested, and hurriedly ran to Sun Xiaping's back is two whips, he knew that the two-day siege of the city had caused the Ming army's artillery to consume a lot, and the two rounds just now were just to hit Houjin's morale, and then they would save ammunition and use it in the city's offensive and defensive battles.
Unexpectedly, Sun Xiaping, who was sitting on the ground, took two hits and still didn't react, Yu Xuezhong was furious, and when he ran to him, he saw a numb face.
Yu Xuezhong slapped him a few more times, Sun Xiaping came to his senses, and Yu Xuezhong said in a low voice: "If you want to live, hurry up where to pretend to be dead"
After speaking, Yu Xuezhong pointed at several dead and terrifying corpses, but Sun Xiaping shook his lips a few times but did not respond.
"I don't want my doll to be eaten, so hurry up" Yu Xuezhong scolded angrily again.
Hear the doll. Sun Xiaping's body trembled, and he hurriedly put down Sun Zhendong's corpse, and ran towards the corpses with a crawl.
Yu Xuezhong carefully looked at the situation on the battlefield while moving the corpse. There were wrappers running around all around, many people were lying on the ground tossing and wailing, and some were nervously broken and squatting on the ground with their heads tightly and crying, Yu Xuezhong blocked the corpse of Sun Xiaping, and then he pulled out his knife and prepared to maintain order.
"Lord, master" Sun Xiaping whispered gratefully: "What should you do?" ”
Yu Xuezhong looked back vigilantly. Only then did he squat down and said: "No one has planted the land in Lao Tzu's house, you just pretend to be dead here, and I will naturally call you when the troops are collected." Remember, Lao Tzu saved you, count your fate. ”
The Warlord team behind them followed, and they also lost a lot of losses in the two rounds of firearms just now. Many of the armor soldiers are fresh faces. They threatened the running coats with knives and guns, while the armor soldiers behind them unceremoniously slashed and killed the wounded who fell to the ground and howled.
Yu Xuezhong saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he hurriedly ran around Baoyi, and at this moment, their Niu Lu's Pashiku also arrived, and they were arranging the siege of the city with the soldiers.
Countless ladders had approached the city wall, and Yu Xuezhong hid in the cowhide niche under the ladders, drinking the unprotected coats
"Rush forward!"
Beside these terrified coats was a row of armored soldiers holding heavy shields. They either bite sharp knives or carry long-handled weapons. There are constantly screaming rockets flying at the head of the city, as well as countless dense arrow rains, because Yang Bo got a lot of strong attacks and arrows from Dengzhou, so he made the best use of them, and also used them in defense, this wave of arrow rain made the unprotected auxiliary soldiers suffer heavy losses, but driven by fear, the coats worked harder, and soon, the ladder was pushed to the city, although the Ming army at the head of the city continued to carry the batting rod and collide, but the ladder still hooked the city wall one by one, and the siege reached the most critical moment.
Yu Xuezhong had already jumped out, he raised his heavy shield away from the place of death under the city, countless rolling stones and sandalwood and so on fought down one after another, and there were constantly pieces of soldiers who were smashed into meat sauce by stones.
"Rush forward!"
Despite the fear in his heart, Yu Xuezhong has not forgotten his duty.
Under the threat of Xuezhong's leather whip and the blade of the warlord's team, those Bao Yi climbed up the ladder one by one with their rudimentary weapons, and there was a scream from the left, a bucket of hot gold juice poured down, and several Bao Yi who had already climbed half of it fell down with a miserable scream, and the armor soldiers below continued to pluck up their courage to climb upwards with their shields, and these frightened Bao Yi also climbed in turn.
At this moment, Yu Xuezhong saw through the gap in the shield that above a cloud ladder beside him, a heavy black thing was pushed out by the Ming army, Yu Xuezhong's face changed greatly, and he quickly ran in the opposite direction for a distance before stopping.
In the terrifying hinge sound, the iron plate with a thick wolf tooth barb was slammed down the ladder, the armor soldiers and coats on the ladder had no time to react, they were all slapped down alive, and they were smashed on the ground like dumplings, their bodies were full of blood holes that were nailed out, and the iron plate was slapped to the end, and then slowly retracted in the sound of tooth acid hinges, and the iron plate also hooked the remains of two corpses.
Yu Xuezhong didn't sigh in a hurry, another cloud ladder was knocked over by the Ming military ram at the head of the city, and the people on the cloud ladder let out desperate screams, holding the cloud ladder and refusing to let go, and a few people closed their eyes and jumped down from the cloud ladder several feet high.
Disheveled!
The ladder smashed on the ground under the action of gravity, raising huge dust, and I don't know how many soldiers who had no time to dodge were crushed to death, Yu Xuezhong covered his mouth and held the shield, the city wall screamed and shook the sky, dozens of ladders continued to scream and fall, the first batch of coats to climb the ladder had been killed and injured, Yu Xuezhong knew that the next was the most fierce offensive and defensive battle.
Come here!
Divides and a few infantry armor urged a group of coats, a heavy crash car staggered across the pontoon bridge, Yu Xuezhong also ran over and commanded the fox fake tiger, hurry up when he approached the city wall, Yu Xuezhong looked left and right, and quietly left the crash car.
The shield cart just approached and suffered a violent blow, two sections of protruding on the horse's face, the Ming army threw down countless stones, the long-lost fire gun also sounded intensively, the cart's coating continued to be shot and fell, the closer to the north gate, many stones smashed the coating tendons and bones, and what was more terrible was that these stones were still jumping around, beating many people to fracture and vomit blood.
"Keep pushing!"
The overseer's soldier roared angrily, just about to kill a man who was lying on the ground and moaning, but he didn't expect a loud bang, and a huge piece of wood smashed down, the soldier fell to the ground unsteadily, and the round wood instantly crushed the legs of the soldier, and before the soldier had time to howl, the wood rolled over his body, and all the people who were not dead only heard the sound of crackling bones.
The wrappers wept and mourned, and continued to push the heavy cart under the bright knives and guns, but because the cart's coat was too damaged, the cart shook back and forth and couldn't walk.
"All go to the cart," the distribution depot yelled at the armor soldiers.
The crashing car staggered, experienced countless blows, and finally arrived under the city gate after three or four waves of changing the coat of the cart, and even Yu Xuezhong, who was worried in the distance, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Be careful! Fierce fire oil! I don't know who shouted bitterly, and at the head of the city, a huge urn was hung by iron chains, trembling out of the battlement.
Yu Xuezhong stretched his neck, and his heart was pinched.
The chain of the car roared, and the big tank fell rapidly, smashing on the top of the rushing car, and the crockpot splashed in all directions, gushing out fierce fire oil and covering all the areas around the crashing car, and several torches came one after another at the head of the city, drawing a beautiful parabola and falling on the crashing car.
Rumble!
The raging flames rose into the sky, and countless burning people under the car screamed and ran around, Yu Xuezhong didn't see the distribution warehouse for a long time, and was obviously burned alive under the car.
Alas!
Yu Xuezhong sighed a few times in his heart, this stubborn rushing car failed to play a role in the end, the raging fire engulfed it, and the huge flames even rushed to the head of the city, and there were dozens of black corpses lying around the rushing car.
What Yu Xuezhong saw was just an inconspicuous corner of the entire Mopan City's offensive and defensive battles, the defense of the Ming army was full of tricks, and the gold juice was poured out, and then countless limes were sprinkled down, the entire Mopan City was like a lime rain, the besieging soldiers' heads, faces, and whole bodies were shrouded in snow-white lime, many soldiers who were sprinkled in their eyes screamed and threw away their shields and weapons, jumped down from the ladder, and the choking lime shrouded a radius of several miles, and there were violent coughing sounds everywhere, and Houjin's offensive was blocked due to the line of sight, Immediately came to a standstill, and the Ming army took advantage of this opportunity to throw a number of hissing iron-shelled bullets from the city.
Sun Xiaping, who was lying in the pile of corpses, was horrified to see that a swarthy thing was about to hit the ground when the fire suddenly flashed, and it exploded violently, and many broken stones and iron flew in all directions, and several running fellows instantly opened several blood holes in their heads, faces, backs, and chests, and fell to the ground.
"Huh? Yes! ”
Sun Xiaping was stunned, stood up violently and roared wildly, the cruelty and bloodshed on the battlefield made him mentally broken...... (To be continued......)
