The first wave of siege of Jiannu was mainly tentative, so the main siege equipment was not on, and the second wave of siege was really moving.

The result of the test was that the artillery of Jinzhou Pass was too strong, and it was concentrated in a large area. Wild boar skin also came up with a countermeasure, since the Ming army concentrated the use of artillery, then they attacked several points at the same time, and the Ming army would definitely take care of one and lose the other.

So Boar Skin took this idea and launched a second wave of siege.

Tens of thousands of traitor troops bloomed on all sides, divided into four main attack points, and once again stormed the city.

"My lord, Jiannu is coming up again."

"First concentrate the artillery to hit a part, and the other points, you can put some up first, and then use the artillery to cut off their follow-up support."

Zhang Kuotu commanded calmly.

The Ming army at the head of the city immediately used the women's wall as a cover, and attacked the rushing enemy with bows and arrows and muskets. However, the guns of Jinzhou Pass are not like the fortresses of Westerners, so the firepower such as muskets has a dead angle and cannot cover each other well.

However, the Ming army on the wall had a large number of light field artillery.

This time, Zhang Enlarged Diagram directly hit 50 one-pound guns, and 30 three-pound guns, which were lined up on a section of the wall, and then used the gun carriage to adjust the firing angle. Aiming at the Jiannu archers who were using bows and arrows to suppress the Ming army at the head of the city, they bombarded wildly.

After a round of bombardment, the two thousand Jiannu archers who were densely lined up below for fire cover were immediately killed and wounded. After just one round of shelling, the Jiannu archers were beaten to the point of howling wolves and scurrying around. The Ming army at the head of the city suddenly lost its suppression, and found that there was no longer a rain of arrows falling on their heads, so they immediately poked their heads out of the female wall, and then simply stood straight on top of those ladders, like whack-a-mole, knocking down the enemy soldiers who climbed up one by one.

The infantry who ascended the city without fire cover was definitely cannon fodder among cannon fodder. After all, it is impossible for two people to be side by side on a ladder, and they can climb up in a string, but there are several heavily armed Ming troops on it. The spears in the hands of these Ming soldiers were very long, and they were stabbed down before they could touch the wall. Even if you can avoid the spear and climb up a little more, you will have to face several weapons to attack from the top. How is this possible to climb up?

A cold-weapon army that is good at attacking fortifications must have a large number of elite archers for fire cover. Otherwise, no matter how strong the infantry is, it is impossible to climb to the top of the city for hand-to-hand combat.

As long as one person climbs the wall, he can hold back the defenders above and buy time for the friendly forces below who are still climbing to climb the city. If there are more people going up. Those who ascend to the city can climb up without interference and fight the defenders on the walls.

In the area where artillery was concentrated, those traitor troops simply fell into blood mold. After the Jiannu archers who were responsible for covering them were hit by artillery, the fire cover was interrupted, and their ascent to the city became extremely miserable.

A traitor soldier who was about to ascend to the top of the city suddenly poured hot gold juice from the top of his head, and he was so confused on the spot that he fell down the ladder with a scream. The friendly troops on a ladder on the side were even more miserable, and a piece of wood rolled down the ladder.

Bang bang bang......

With the sound of impact, a string of traitor soldiers on the ladder were smashed down. Some of them fell on the spot and their brains were splashed. Some fell and broke bones, screaming and rolling on the ground.

Some traitor soldiers just climbed up not much distance before they were hit in the head by a big stone, and their brains were also shattered on the spot, and they fell directly with a muffled snort.

At this time, those Jiannu archers who were crying wolf, under the restraint of the Jiannu overseers, began to shoot at the Ming army at the head of the city again.

These shots are all free fire, and they are all based on their own accuracy.

This is also the biggest gap between the rabble and the elite siege, if it is a rabble. The archer was not accurate enough, and perhaps seven or eight out of ten arrows accidentally injured a friendly soldier. The Elite is different, most of the arrows can be hit. Although Jiannu is not completely elite. It's just a gang of bandits without faith, but Jiannu is good at hunting in the mountains, and the accuracy of the bow and arrow is guaranteed.

Soon there were many Ming arrows on the wall, but the Ming army was fully armed, everyone was wearing iron armor and helmets, and most of the feather arrows had no effect on the Ming army. Some of the Ming soldiers were unlucky. was shot dead on the spot.

However, the concentrated artillery again fired a salvo.

Boom Boom Boom ......

Puffs of gunpowder rose into the air, and dense shotguns swept out again. The regrouped Jiannu archers, the formation was once again beaten into a sieve. A large number of Jiannu archers fell to the ground and died, and many others lay on the ground screaming.

Under the restraint of the Overseer's army, these archers did not flee in all directions this time, but still fought stubbornly with the Ming army at the head of the city.

The Ming army at the head of the city continued to operate the artillery and reload the artillery.

The loading of these three-pound guns and one-pound guns is relatively simple, and although the procedure is more cumbersome, the operation is really simple compared to those heavy guns. With the cooperation of several soldiers, an artillery bombardment can be carried out in thirty seconds. However, the Ming army at Jinzhou Pass was not a professional artilleryman, but was only guided by the artillery battalion personnel, so the loading speed was fast and slow, and the interval between a salvo was about a minute.

However, there were many musketeers on the city wall, firing at the Jiannu archers in the distance. One by one, these musketeers hid behind the women's wall, and immediately after completing the reload, they shot their heads, and after the fight, they shrank their heads, constantly killing and injuring the living force of Jiannu.

The concentrated artillery once again launched several salvos at the Jiannu archers under the city, and the Jiannu archers suffered heavy casualties, although they were not defeated this time, they were also scattered, and could not pose much threat to the Ming army at the head of the city. At this time, the artillery at the head of the city was aimed at the traitor troops who were attacking the city.

After several rounds of shelling, the traitor troops were also killed and wounded everywhere like delicate flowers baptized by the storm, and the people who climbed the city became inconsistent, and they completely lost the hope of climbing the wall.

Defeat on the battlefield often occurs when hope is lost. If there is still hope, no matter how heavy the casualties are, it can still be held out for an army bound by strict military law. It will not collapse directly after a tenth of the casualties like the European troops. Because the troops in Europe are mostly fighting for money. The nobles who captured the opposing party can be extorted for ransom. My life is gone, what do I need money for? Naturally, I ran quickly.

The traitor troops who were driven up by Jiannu would definitely be beheaded if they were defeated, so as long as there was hope of breaking through the Jinzhou Pass, they would rush forward.

But seeing that the sequence of the siege was disrupted, one of them went up in batches to send their heads, and the fool knew that he would definitely die if he rushed up. As a result, the traitor troops on the attack point that were intensively taken care of by the artillery suddenly collapsed, and no matter how Jiannu who supervised the battle behind him, he was unable to move forward. However, soon these Jiannu who supervised the war also ran off the battlefield in disgrace, because the Ming army at the head of the city began to focus on taking care of them. As soon as Jiannu, who supervised the war, retreated, the other traitor soldiers also ran away.

In contrast, on the other three offensive points, the game was still in full swing at this time.

In the scene of guns roaring, feather arrows breaking through the air, and gunsmoke filling, the two sides are coming and going, and fierce battles are raging. On the three Jiannu attack points, the artillery had been concentrated, but they did not fire together, obviously releasing water.

Under the cover of the Jiannu archers, groups of traitor troops struggled to climb the ladder. The archers of Jiannu and the musketeers of the Ming army shot wildly at each other, and the Ming army responsible for 'whack-a-mole' on the wall could not unscrupulously attack the traitor soldiers who climbed the ladder under the suppression of Jiannu's firepower, which made many traitor soldiers look like they were about to climb the wall.

Often at this time, they despair again. The Ming army on the wall ruthlessly forked them down with their spears, and the artillery on the wall also bombarded the traitor soldiers who followed the city.

Every time, it is always about to go up, but it can't go up, and the feelings of hope and despair are repeatedly tugging and seeking, and the casualties during this period are increasing.

Hey, hey, hey......

The enemy troops pushing the siege engines shouted their trumpets, and the bulky siege engines slowly advanced towards the city gates. The Ming army at the head of the city seemed to turn a blind eye, completely ignoring these siege vehicles.

The first bulky siege engine was pushed in front of the city gate, and the battering ram made of giant wood began to shake under the front and back of more than two dozen enemy troops.

Bang......

Bang......

Bang......

With a bang, the city gate was filled with sawdust.

But when these traitor soldiers bumped into it more than a dozen times, they suddenly felt that something was wrong, there seemed to be something behind the city gate, and they couldn't hit it at all.

I had no choice but to continue to use my strength to eat milk and make persistent efforts.

Bang bang bang......

In a series of crashes, the city gate was finally knocked open with a hole. That's right, just to be knocked out of a hole, but to be knocked open.

Through this hole, these traitor soldiers pushing the battering ram were as white as earth. I saw that behind the city gate, it was blocked by bags of earth and stones.

It's completely out of the question.

Wild Boar Skin, who was watching the battle from behind, saw that the troops at one of the attack points were defeated, and his face was very unpleasant. However, he did not hesitate to invest a group of Han troops again.

The target came again, and the Ming army at the head of the city happily looked at the enemy army attacking again, and the morale of all the Ming soldiers was extremely strong.

They had a fortified city to defend, and a steady stream of supplies and reinforcements arrived in the rear, and this was a city defense battle that was doomed to failure.

At this time, even if Jiannu was a large number of people ascending to the city, it would be impossible for the Ming army's military spirit to waver.

It was also relying on the high morale that Zhang Guangtu soon ordered the defensive point on the left wall to increase the waterproofing, and soon the first team of Jiannu climbed the wall.

The wild boar skin who was watching the battle was overjoyed, and everyone was even more excited. I'm in high spirits! As a result, less than a moment later, he turned into a constipated face again.

Because the Ming army on the wall was lined up in a neat formation, they carried out a bloody torture of the enemy troops who climbed to the top of the city. Not only were these enemy troops who climbed to the top of the city small, but they also did not have any formation, and the result was naturally that they were stabbed to death on the spot by the Ming army with spears one by one. (To be continued.) )
