Chapter 130: Defeat

The fierce battle continued, although Pang Gang commanded the soldiers to give a large number of casualties to the Qing soldiers, but the Qing soldiers under the command of Rao Yu Beile, who was determined to capture the city of Texas, still desperately climbed towards the city wall, one Qing soldier fell, and another climbed up, and gradually the corpses of the Qing soldiers were piled up under the city wall. The advantage of the bird guns is also revealed at this time, no more than bows and arrows, they do not need strong arm strength at all, as long as the fire system is not hot and there is a sufficient supply of ammunition, they can shoot continuously.

Half an hour had passed, and Pang Gang predicted that at least the corpses of thousands of Qing soldiers had been lying under the city, but those Qing soldiers seemed to be red-eyed, and the pace of the attack did not slow down at all. At this time, the city head was filled with thick white fog and choking gunsmoke, which was the masterpiece of the artillery and bird guns on the city wall, with the advantage of the artillery birds, the Qing soldiers have not been able to climb the city, but Pang Gang's heart gradually hanged, he realized that this time Abatai is the king of the eight to eat the scales and iron to capture Texas.

After a while, the news that Pang Gang was most unwilling to hear finally came from the city.

"Lord Qiqi, the Bird Gun soldiers report that the Bird Gun is no longer hungry and can no longer fire due to the overheating of the gun chamber due to continuous firing, otherwise there is a danger of exploding."

"My lord, the gunners reported that the guns were fired too often, and the barrels were already red!"

"My lord, the gold juice and rolling wood and stones on the city are exhausted!" Bad news came one after another.

"What, how is this good? Without artillery, birds, and rocks, what can we do to fend off the Tartars! Ji Ruxing on the side was shocked when he heard this, he asked in a trembling voice: "Huge man, the Tartars are going to fight hard, you have to think of a way, otherwise we will all have to lose our lives!" ”

"Panic what!" Pang Gang glanced at Ji Ruxing coldly and said sharply: "Tartars can work hard, can't we fight hard?" ”

After speaking, Pang Gang pulled out the scimitar at his waist, bent down and picked up the heavy shield that had been placed at his feet, and said to Yi Jiang, who was silent: "Lord Yi, I'm bothering you to sit here, Pang is going down to kill the thief with all the soldiers!" ”

"Hahaha." Yi Jiang suddenly laughed, "The huge people are still able to kill the enemy in front of the danger in front of the battle, so why should I Yi someone do this." Yesterday, at the reception banquet of the adults, Yi someone could not let the adults drink and talk very regretfully, and after killing these Tartars, let's drink and talk together! ”

"Good!" Pang Gang glanced at Yi Jiang deeply and said with a smile: "Master Yi is worthy of being a man, I, Pang Gang, have made you a friend, let's go together!" ”

"Hahaha, go together!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, took their weapons and went down the city tower to the city wall, while walking, Pang Gang loudly ordered the bird soldiers and sword and shield men who had been fighting fiercely on the city wall for more than half an hour to quickly retreat, and the pikemen stepped forward to meet the enemy, and Pang Gang also ordered the bird soldiers who had already beaten the barrels of their guns to quickly disperse to the other three city walls to replace the bird soldiers there.

After receiving the order, the birds and soldiers of the Lingshan Guards immediately retreated, and the pikemen retreated under the command of their respective small banners and general banners, keeping a distance from the city wall, preparing to meet the Tartars who attacked the city wall.

Soon, a Tartar showed his head on the city wall, and a Qing soldier holding a round shield and a half-moon short-handled axe in his right hand took the lead in rushing up, his head and neck were particularly thick, his whole body was powerful, his cheeks were full of beard, and there were several deep scars on his face.

At this time, a very experienced Tartar did not look around after climbing up the ladder to the top of the city, but waved the shield in his hand left and right to protect himself from the enemy behind the city wall with a sharp blade, and then jumped on the city wall with a shield. Then he rushed forward a few steps with a loud shout, trying to use his momentum to frighten the Ming army in the city, this method he had frequently used in previous battles, and it was still tried and tested.

Who knew that the Ming army he expected did not appear, but saw six Ming soldiers standing in front of him with spears and wearing big red mandarin duck battle jackets, they stood in a row under the command of a leader, and let out a loud shout in unison.

"Kill!"

Six pikemen with spears in their hands used all their strength to stab the leader of the Specialist with all their might, and the six spears beckoned to him from six different directions. The Tita was also very brave, he brandished his shield to block the attack of the four spears, and the axe in his hand also made a heavy impact on one of the spears, and only one spear touched him through the barrier of his shield and hatchet, but it was the spear that slipped through the net that killed him.

At the request of Pang Gang and the pikemen's hard training, the pikemen only learned three shots, three tricks of stabbing, anti-stabbing and side stabbing, these three moves they have practiced extremely well, the iron head of a spear pierced his throat, the face of this expert turned pale, and there was a vague "drink" sound in his throat as if there was water choking in his mouth, he let go of his hands, put aside the shield and short-handled axe in his hand, grabbed the head of the gun stuck in his throat, and grabbed the head of the gun with a trembling body and did not let go. His strength was so great that the pikeman couldn't pull it out for a moment.

Seeing such a scene, the little flag that led the team shouted again, and the spear in his hand pierced into the abdomen of the defenseless Zhuanda like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, and then four more spears stabbed into his body, and then the Zhuanda could no longer support it, and his whole body gradually softened, and finally slowly let go of the hand holding the head of the gun, and his heavy body fell to the ground with a bang, and the armor on his body and the stones on the city wall made a dull sound after the impact.

This specialist died like this, and when he was temporary, he still had one eye wide open as if he was dead!

At this time, two more Qing soldier vests appeared at the head of the city. The two men were armed with round shields, one with a heavy sword, and the other with a long-handled broadsword, and they had heard the roar of the man before he died, and the two horsemen swept their eyes when they heard the sound, but they could see the movement inside the city walls.

When the Ming army saw the enemy reappearing on the city wall, he immediately ordered: "The pikemen immediately retreat, line up!" ”

With the order of the six spearmen under the command of this little banner to occupy a row, the head of the spear and the throat, the distance between the feet is about the same width as the shoulder, the center line of the left foot and the right heel are on the same line, the knees are naturally slightly bent, the upper body is slightly forward, the center of gravity falls slightly between the feet, and the eyes are fixed on the two tartars.

After a confrontation for dozens of seconds, the two Tartars couldn't hold back any longer, they looked at each other and shouted in unison as they pounced on the pikemen in front of them.

The personal skills of the Qing soldiers are excellent, and they are also very experienced, so they have no doubt about whether they can defeat the six Ming soldiers in front of them, but after they exchanged hands, they found that these Ming troops in front of them were not easy to deal with, and their skills may not be as good as their own, but the cooperation between them was too tacit, and there was quite a rule between them and the two of them when they were fighting, and the two of them couldn't help them for a while. In fact, the feelings of these two Qing soldiers are not strange, you must know that the sergeants of Lingshanwei have undergone rigorous training, a group of guns and knives, and the tacit understanding of cooperating with technical attacks has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, they usually only practice three moves, I don't know how many times they have practiced repeatedly, one shot stabbed away, either you die, or I die! It was precisely by relying on the strength and tacit cooperation of this decisive battle that these peasants, who were still holding plowshares and shovels a few months ago, were able to fight on a par with these Qing soldiers who had practiced killing skills since childhood, and even gradually gained the upper hand.

At this time, Pang Gang and Yi Jiang also came to the head of the city with dozens of guards, and where he saw the Tartars, he drilled wherever he went, relying on his terrifying brute strength and the iron shield weighing dozens of catties and the scimitar that sharpened iron like clay, and when he fought with the Qing soldiers on the city wall, there was no one in his three places.

As more and more Qing soldiers jumped into the city wall, Pang Gang didn't know how many Tartars he had killed, and the weapon Pang Gang was holding in his hand at this time was no longer a scimitar, and he was holding a heavy mace in his hand that he didn't know where to find it. He wielded this mace, which was three feet long and weighed more than 30 pounds, as if no one was in the land of the Qing soldiers, and it was often a stick to go down, and the Qing soldiers with shields were slapped like swatting flies, and the Qing soldiers who were hit under the pressure of gravity were often spitting blood or broken bones and tendons.

Under the leadership of Pang Gang, the Ming army became more and more courageous, and the remnants of the soldiers after the Qing soldiers rushed to the city wall were slowly felt by the Ming army in the corner of the southern city wall.

This is a group of dozens of Qing soldiers, they slowly retreated to the city wall under the leadership of a Niu Lu, and in front of them was also a group of dozens of pikemen, these pikemen were almost all covered in blood, murderously waiting for the Qing army in front of them.

"Kill!"

Under the leadership of a general banner, dozens of pikemen rushed up with an arrow step, just when the two sides were about to make contact, something surprising happened, Niu Lu, the leader of the Qing soldiers, actually made a surprising move, he threw down the heavy knife in his hand and jumped down from the city very neatly, and then dozens of Qing soldiers under him also jumped down, these Qing soldiers actually fled, they didn't care whether they were in their hands, they would rather break their legs than fight with this group of Ming soldiers!

In this way, Pang Gang led thousands of Ming troops to drive the Qing soldiers who jumped on the city head out of the city wall like ducks, completing an almost incredible miracle
