Chapter 395: Shoutong Prefecture (3)
The mushroom-shaped white smoke from the flowering bomb rises in an arc-shaped circle.
"Boom! Aim at those tanks and boom! Zhang Li slashed down with his hands, as if his ten fingers were ten cannons.
The chariot that was hit was particularly miserable, the skeleton of the entire chariot was scattered, and the Jurchen crossbowmen standing on the chariot were blown up, and the broken arms and legs were blurred in the muddy ground.
However, the unhit chariot continued to rush forward, and the archers on the chariot fired a dense barrage of arrows at the walls. Immediately there was a rain of arrows on the walls, and the battlements were full of arrows, like the back of a hedgehog.
Zhang Li is wearing heavy armor and an iron helmet, and the protection is quite thorough. However, this kind of heavy armor was captured by the former Tongzhou guard Mugutu, and this is just one piece. Many of the soldiers of the regimental mountain army were shot down in an instant, and those who fell backwards were rescued by the military medical team, and those who rushed forward were planted in the city and smashed into meat cakes.
Zhang Li shouted hoarsely, the bow and arrow of the Jurchen Tartar were a hundred times more terrifying than the lead pellets of the arquebus!
Later, the battle intensified, the flames were everywhere, the shouts shook the sky, and both the enemy and us in the city and the city and the city did not retreat. The Tuanshan army and the Tartar soldiers all let the rain of spears and arrows pour overhead, and the claws of the god of death are flicking around.
Of course, it was the Tartars who suffered the heavier casualties, after all, they were on the side of the attack. But this time the attackers were all the ferocious veteran Second Tartars and the genuine Jurchen heavy infantry, all of whom were well-trained and licking blood from the edge of their swords. They are not afraid of disappointment, anyway, they will die if they advance and retreat, it is better to rush forward and kill to be a "Baturu".
And just like that, stepping on the corpse of his companion. Quite a few carts of dirt were finally pushed in front of the trench and truckloads of earth were dumped into the trench. Several parts of the trench had already been filled. Zhang Zhang clearly saw that there was a strong two Tartar with a Han military flag. He was shot several times, and even one shot pierced his jaw, but he insisted on pouring the dirt from the car into the trench before falling.
At this moment, Zhang Zhang finally understood that the Han people in the late Ming Dynasty were no worse than the Jurchens, but they were just ......
Zhang Li didn't have time to think about it, and a feathered arrow shot at his heavy armor, although it couldn't break the armor at all. However, the huge kinetic energy still shook him back a few steps.
"Your Excellency!" Gao Yuanliang, who was supervising the battle not far away, exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly ran over.
After Gao Yuanliang confirmed that Zhang Li was fine, he frowned and said, "My lord, you better go back to the city to guard the imperial palace!" ”
Zhang Zhang glared at Gao Yuanliang, Lao Gao suddenly didn't dare to say any more, and muttered: "It's okay if you don't go back to the watchtower, my lord, it's too dangerous for you here!" ”
Zhang Zhang waved his hand firmly, and said in a deep voice: "Don't go and supervise the battle yet!" Gao Yuanliang was helpless. I had to go back to my post.
The battle had entered a white-hot phase, although the artillery fire of the Tuanshan army was fierce, and the corpses of the Tartars in front of the city walls were piled up. But. There were still some chariots and Tartars who rushed into the shooting corners under the walls, and they began to carve through the walls with the sharp tools they carried with them.
The city defense of Tongzhou City is quite strong. But it's only relative. The wall tiles for building the wall are still fired, not large bluestone. If it is the city wall of Jinzhou and Ningyuan. It was made of incomparably strong bluestone, and the tartar could never dig it.
However, the hardness of the fired wall tiles cannot be compared with the big bluestone after all. The Tartars quickly dug a gap!
If they continue to dig it, it won't be long before the walls will collapse!
Zhang Li even saw the black-pressed hoplites in the distance eager to try—
Palm thunder can't be used either, because the power of palm thunder is huge, although throwing it down can definitely kill the tartars, but the corners of the city wall will also be damaged!
The battlefield is changing rapidly, but the tension has already been prepared: "On the golden juice!" ”
With Zhang Li's roar, immediately the auxiliary soldiers of the Tuanshan Army carried buckets of boiling dung juice from under the inner city. There was a foul smell on the city wall, but all the defenders of the Tuanshan Army seemed to have their noses out of order at this moment.
Buckets of hot dung juice were poured down from the city in an instant, and the howls of Tartar ghosts like wolves were immediately heard from under the city walls. The scream was terrible, even worse than a projectile.
The tension is very clear, in fact, this hot dung juice can be regarded as ancient chemical warfare.
There are a lot of bacteria in the fecal juice, and once it is burned, it is a serious bacterial infection, and the medicine stone is ineffective. This thing should belong to the category of "small-scale chemical weapons", right?
After the gold juice was poured over, the Tuan Shan army poured barrels of tung oil down, and then countless torches were thrown down, and the incendiary bomb was born.
There was a sea of fire under the city wall, and the "wall digging army" of the Tartars really regretted coming to the world. They were the worst to die in this battle, and there was no one.
……
Huang Taiji, who was watching the battle on the high post of three miles outside the city, had a blue face, and the whole person trembled slightly.
Fan Wencheng, who was standing beside him, had a heavy face, obviously this Tongzhou City could not be defeated.
"Great Khan, the Tongzhou City guarded by this mountain army is simply a meat grinder, no matter how many warriors of the Dajin Kingdom fill it in, it will have no effect...... Minion...... The minion suggests, collect the troops! ”
Huang Taiji listened to what Fan Wencheng said, sighed heavily, and said unwillingly to the herald not far away: "Mingjin, collect the troops!" ”
The herald jumped on his horse and galloped away.
Huang Taiji clenched his fists and said hatefully: "Mr. Fan, don't we have any other way to capture Tongzhou City?" ”
In Huang Taiji's impression, Fan Wencheng has always been a master of organizing the "Open Door Party......
Fan Wencheng shook his head and said with a depressed expression: "Before, many of us were mixed in, but it's a pity that the mountain army captured all of our people......"
Huang Taiji also understands that there is no way to do it now. Just like Jinzhou City and Ningyuan City, this kind of turtleshell-like city, it is useless how many lives the warriors of the Dajin Kingdom use to fill it.
"King Chenqi Khan, there is a world of difference between besieging a city and defending a city. There is a saying in the art of war, and the ...... of the Ten Rules of Siege "In order to continue to improve his status in the Houjin Kingdom, Fan Wencheng is not satisfied with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and has recently made up for "Sun Tzu's Art of War" for a while.
"Ten rules around the ...... Ten Circles ......" Huang Taiji muttered to himself repeating this sentence repeatedly, and in the end, his body shook and he almost fell.
The guards on the side immediately held the Great Khan up, and it took him a long time before he came back to his senses.
Huang Taiji took one last look at Tongzhou City, turned around and left. Just as he was leaving, Fan Wencheng spoke: "The minister has a plan, let that mountain army come to attack the fortified city guarded by my Dajin Kingdom!" Hmph, let them taste the siege too! (To be continued.) )
