Chapter 402: Attack and Defense (12)
Although a lot of military funds have been seized from the Tianwei battalion, the armed situation of the Anlu rebels is still not optimistic, at least in terms of long-range firepower, it is still very weak. The bows and arrows of the Tianwei Battalion, like the bows and arrows used by the Anjun Army, are soft bows and light arrows, which can only be used to scare people or kill and injure unarmored soldiers.
So from the very beginning, Shi Jinliang knew that if he wanted to gnaw this palace, he would have to pay enough lives. The reason why he designed to deceive people out of the mansion was to mitigate this unnecessary loss. However, after Huang Guangwu's death, all calculations were useless, and the two knotted were mortal enemies, and they could only end with the fall of one party.
In just a few days, although training has been carried out, it is simply a pipe dream to really reduce the casualties to such a low level. Everyone's equipment is still rudimentary, siege equipment is still scarce, and even the cooperation during the siege is still rusty.
However, unlike last time, this time the troops already have faith, and can no longer consider their own share of benefits, or the family resources they already have, and can focus on combat, and finally can put pressure on the defender.
One by one, the ladders were pushed up, and even though they were smashed by the Yaksha and the wolf's fangs, there were still people carrying new ladder trees. Because the shacks and so on were demolished by Yang Chengzu, the originally designed fire attack and other strategies could not be used, so they had to be filled with people. The boiling water, gold juice, and stones on the walls were beaten down one after another, and they kept reaping life. But these attackers finally showed the courage and tenacity of the Green Forest people, clenched their teeth, and desperately rushed upward.
The spear stabbed out, and one of the rebels was stabbed through the lower abdomen, but he clutched the spear tightly to prevent the soldier from retracting his weapon. Behind him, one of the rebels who jumped up raised his axe and slashed at the pikeman, whose steel had just danced, and his body was so weak that an arrow had pierced his throat. On the wall, it has finally entered the white-knuckle combat link, and there are already soldiers who have successfully climbed the wall.
One hook after another was also thrown up, and the flying scratching head bit the wall, and along the rope, those sturdy men began to climb upward. From time to time, someone was knocked down, but the attacker, as if he had not seen it, still crawled upwards at a rapid pace, then jumped onto the wall and began to fight.
"Kill, kill! Let me show you, Buddha, my means! "The pig iron Buddha finally went up to the wall, and the Zen staff in his hand danced, like a tiger descending the mountain. With him as the core, more than a dozen leader-level figures climbed up, and the other men on the wall also immediately moved closer to this side, and the palace wall in this area was actually occupied by them, forming a small protrusion.
"Hurry up, hurry up." The people behind are also gradually climbing towards this side, as long as there are enough people going up, this can become the control zone of the rebel army, and then they can expand the offensive and take down the entire palace wall.
When Shi Jinliang saw this situation on the high platform, he was also overjoyed, "Succeeded?" "According to the experience of fighting with the Tianwei battalion, the officers and soldiers are better at using firearms and bows and crossbows, although these things are not very lethal, but the officers and soldiers are still happy to use them against the enemy. If you enter the link of hand-to-hand combat, the fighting spirit of the officers and soldiers will quickly disintegrate, and then fall apart.
The rout of the Tianwei battalion was that Zhongfu was the first, and then the thirteen eagles led people to rush into the army to fight a close battle, so that these court officials and soldiers suddenly lost their fighting spirit and fled without their lives. Swords, guns and instruments are thrown everywhere, and the royal guards are not officials after all, so they should behave even worse.
"Beat the drums and let the rear army follow!" Shi Jinliang gave an order, the war drums here beat louder, Zheng Manpo brandished a double halberd and led a large number of soldiers to rush towards the palace wall with a shout, and the next moment, it seemed that it was time to see the defeat of the officers and soldiers.
One, one, another. When the offensive of these chaotic troops was fierce, more than two dozen wooden barrels were suddenly thrown down on the wall. These things should have been thrown with something like a stone-throwing machine, but it was not very powerful, and it didn't hit a few people. Most of these rebels had served as soldiers in the Anlu Battalion, and they also knew some imperial court ordnance, but they had never seen this kind of wooden barrel.
They were stunned for a moment, but then they still carried the ladder and stormed down the wall, and no one noticed that there were burning fire ropes on top of the barrels.
"Boom"
"Boom"
Earth-shattering explosions rang out one after another, and in this late autumn season, it seemed that one thunder after another had exploded. Without any precautions or signs, a flash of fire appeared in the crowd of attackers, followed by black smoke. And in the black smoke, countless screams sounded, as if just now, the door of the underworld was opened, and countless demons and monsters would come out and eat the flesh and blood of mortals as their own food.
Broken wood chips, wood chips, and iron nails swirled and flew out under the power of the explosion, moving in an irregular manner, and brazenly burrowing into the bodies of those around them. They merrily cut through human flesh, cut human veins, absorb blood, and spread death, pain, and fear.
The soldiers had already embarked on the road of no return before they understood what was happening, and those who did not die were overwhelmed by the loud noise and the sudden change. There was a brief pause in the rhythm of the entire army's attack, followed by a burst of confusion.
The defense tool of 10,000 enemies originally appeared in the Apocalypse year, and there was no equipment in the official army at this time. Yang Chengzu had inadvertently read an introduction to this weapon in his previous life, but he had only seen it and didn't pay much attention to it. It wasn't until when he was deploying defenses in Xingwangfu that Mrs. Qian sent a lot of gunpowder, and he thought of the measures taken when he bombed Meda, so he thought of concocting it in the same way and developed ten thousand enemies in advance.
The biggest advantage of this weapon is that it is mainly to kill and injure soldiers, and there is no damage to the building, so you don't have to worry about blowing up the city wall because of the power. The rebel army had never seen such a thing, and they suffered a big loss at once, suffering heavy casualties. Those who did not die also dragged the flags and weapons back out of fear, and this situation of successive servants was slowed down.
At the same time, Yang Chengzu had already gathered more than 100 honor guards, brandishing a treasure sword in his hand and shouting: "Xingwangfu needs everyone to be loyal to their duties, sons and daughters, come with me, the whole army is ready for white-knuckle battle, cut down those thieves, and kill them all!" ”
The Pig Iron Buddha was also overwhelmed by the sudden explosion, but they were bandits after all, and they quickly regained their composure. shouted, "Fame and wealth are in front of you, rush to the palace to rob women." "Continue to boost morale, desperately hold the area under their control, even the indiscriminate arrows and firebolts will not be able to shake their line.
They knew that it was impossible for their own people to capture the palace, but as long as they were nailed here, the troops behind them would be able to come up sooner or later, and the palace would be successful. But at this moment, a group of centaurs had already rushed over with knives and guns, and they were still singing "Three Kingdoms Warriors, Zhao Zilong ...... first"
"Kill!" The Pig Iron Buddha raises the Zen staff!
"Kill them!" Yang Chengzu raised the sword.
Two rows of huge waves collided everywhere, countless waves splashed, and then one side was run over by the other, scattered, and bulldozed!
