Chapter 212: The Siege

The drums of war sounded again, and the battle for Quang Ninh had entered its fifth day.

The weather is getting colder and colder day by day, and just yesterday the first snow of winter fell, and the vast land was white. The corpses that were killed froze on the battlefield in strange postures, like the most bizarre ice sculptures, which made people shudder.

From the third day of the battle, the Tartars, taking advantage of their numbers, attacked from all sides. The pressure on the four cities suddenly became tense.

On the north-western side, the Tartars, having paid more than three thousand men, filled two lines of defense, only one hundred and fifty steps from the city walls. Obviously, today is the most critical time, Zhang Ke and Zhang Feng personally went out of the city to supervise the battle, and even Wang Huazhen changed into a military uniform, holding the sword tightly, and watching the situation on the battlefield.

Woowoo......

The desolate horn sounded, and the Tartar ranks were once again in sight.

"Look, my lord, what's that?" Ma Biao shouted anxiously.

Following the direction of his finger, Zhang Ke hurriedly looked.

In sight, the Tartar carried a large number of planks and walked in the front. The planks looked extremely tall and heavy, more than a man tall, and required five or six soldiers to carry them.

"Not good!"

Zhang Ke suddenly became vigilant, it seems that the Tartars have also thought of a way to deal with the trenches and earthen walls!

Come on, let's see who can have the last laugh.

Sure enough, the Tartars began to charge, and as usual, the Tartars pushed the shield cart with all their might, and ran towards Quang Ninh. The guns of the Yiju soldiers rang out again, and in the bitter cold wind, the two sides began to fight again, and pieces of tartars fell, and pieces of them rushed up again, and they rushed to the front of the earthen wall with wide planks.

They put the planks on the earthen wall, and they stepped on them. Jumped to the opposite side, then quickly moved the planks over and covered the trench. The Tartars in the back are concocted in the same way. Rush here.

Seeing that there were more and more tartars in front of him, Wu Boyan's eyes turned red. His lips were all blistered, and his face was covered with cold wind-blown cuts, and a trace of blood seeped out.

"Ignition!"

A swarm of bees ignited again, and countless rockets flew towards the Tartars.

The expected scene of corpses and wails of pain did not appear, and some particularly stout Tartars actually raised their wide shields. It's almost a meter long and more than half a meter wide, and it's all made of hardwood. Covered with raw cowhide.

A shield weighs forty or fifty pounds, just like a small shield car. Twenty or thirty shields stood in front of the Tartars, and most of the rockets fell on the shields.

Bang bang bang, there was a chaotic sound.

The few Tartars really couldn't withstand the strong force, their arms broke, and their bones were exposed! However, the people behind were rarely injured.

War is like this, no matter who it is, it will progress quickly. Apparently the Tartars had found a way to restrain the Yizhou soldiers, who cheered loudly and rushed forward desperately. The last line of defense was in jeopardy.

……

"Mr. Yue Qian, let's go artillery!" Jiang Huai said loudly.

Yue Zixuan frowned, and couldn't help but say, "Brother Jiang." Your artillerymen still have to guard the passage, what if the Tartars take advantage of the weakness to enter? ”

"Mr. Yue Qian, what you said is good, but the Tartars have already put all their troops on the side of the earthen wall, so we can't take a look!"

Yue Zixuan flashed his eyes, and sure enough, Tartar not only broke through the earthen wall, but also shot vicious bows and arrows from time to time. The artillerymen's brethren were frequently wounded.

"Okay, Brother Jiang. You bring all the artillery over and give me a good bombardment of Tartars! ”

"Bring them all? Mr. Yue Qian. Let's leave a few cannons behind, in case the Tartars sneak up on ......"

"No!" Yue Zixuan waved his hand decisively, "With Lao Tzu here, don't think about rushing over!" ”

Jiang Huai couldn't help but nod when he looked at Yue Zixuan, who was fierce and vicious, these days, he has the most practical experience of the toughness of the Yizhou soldiers, these young people are all ruthless people who dare to work hard!

"Yue Qian, don't worry, we will definitely let the Tartar know that it is powerful!" Jiang Huai shouted loudly: "Brothers, transfer the muzzle!" ”

All the artillery received the order and hurriedly moved, and the guns that were originally facing the passage were all adjusted at angles, and everyone quickly corrected the angle of the muzzle.

"Fire!"

The flag waved, and the first to fire the cannon were eight Hongyi cannons, and the beasts of the desolation roared, and the huge solid projectiles shot out.

Boom!

The shield cart was blown apart, and the Tartar archers behind fled in a hurry, but it was too late, and more than two dozen Fran cannons also fired, and the sky was full of scattered iron pellets, falling like hailstones.

The Tartar was splashed with a cloud of blood mist, and his stumps and legs flew everywhere, falling in a pool of blood one by one. The artillerymen did not stop, and replaced the guns of the Franc machine guns with the fastest degree, and a new round of artillery sounds sounded again.

The Tartars finally felt frightened and fled in a hurry.

Without the interference of bows and arrows, the gunners took the opportunity to counterattack, and the guns crackled and the smoke filled the air, shattering the big shields, and the Tartars behind them lost their protection and became a complete dish.

The gunfire was incessant, and the sound sent the tartar flying out, hitting the hard earthen wall, opening its mouth and spurting blood, and seeing that it was dead.

The defense line turned from danger to safety again, and Zhang Ke also breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly!

There was a rush of gongs from the city, Zhang Ke hurriedly turned back, the herald was waving the order flag, and Wang Huazhen was also desperately waving his hand to let him withdraw from the city.

"Not good!"

Zhang Ke hurriedly called Yue Zixuan and Wu Boyan over.

"Lord Wang told us to retreat, let the artillerymen go first, and the musketeers followed. Yue Zixuan, you are blocking the back with the pikemen, no matter what, you must ensure that they retreat safely! ”

"Don't worry, sir! Unless it's a tartar stepping on my corpse, they don't want to go there! ”

There is no doubt that the next step is to protect Quang Ninh's artillery and firecrackers, and the pikemen can only become the force behind the break. But everyone has no regrets, since joining the army, there has been this preparation. Fortunately, with Master Zhang here, even if they die in battle, their families can be properly settled, and there is no need to worry about it.

"Brothers, the time has come to repay the adults, and I will kill the enemy!"

Yue Zixuan roared loudly, and the soldiers quickly formed a formation, staring at the Tartars' military formation.

Whoa!

There was a burst of cheers from the Tartars' ranks, and they screamed loudly. Roaring, as if something good had happened.

In a short time, the Tartar soldiers were quickly assembled. Put on a siege stance. Several Tartar cavalrymen ran at the front, carrying a human head in their hands. Rampantly rushed towards Quang Ninh.

"Hahaha. Look, your guerrilla general, Chen Jiuling, is dead! The head is here! ”

The blood-drenched head was raised high by them, and they laughed proudly.

"Surrender, or this is your example, hahaha!"

"Surrender to your grandma!"

Yue Zixuan sneered and pulled out the javelin from behind his back.

"Kill the Tartars!"

"Kill!"

Whoosh. Dozens of javelins were fired, and the Tartars running in the front row fell to the ground one after another. Not to be outdone, the Tartars threw out throwing axes, iron bones and other objects, and a dozen spearmen snorted and fell to the ground, and the soldiers behind them replenished them with the fastest degree.

"Raise the gun!"

In an instant, the spears were like a forest, and this action Yizhou soldiers had trained countless times, almost all of them penetrated deep into the bone marrow, even when they were sleeping. Wouldn't go wrong either.

"Kill!"

The uniform battle formation is a powerful deterrent in itself, after the Tartars saw it. I couldn't help but hesitate. At this time, the sharp spear stood up, like a row of strange pythons, and stabbed out fiercely.

Burst!

The spears of the Yizhou soldiers were enough to pierce the armor, and a centurion of a Tartar suddenly had a bloody hole in his body, and blood gushed out, and in an instant the Tartar lost his strength and fell to the ground.

"Kill!"

"Thorn!"

Both sides were red-eyed, desperately drawing their weapons and killing each other. The scimitar of the tartar was much shorter than the spear. When it comes to hand-to-hand combat, it's obvious that it's at a loss. They had to desperately rush in front of the pikemen in order to wield their weapons and kill.

Both sides shouted. Howling, like a pack of wild beasts. Selfless fighting.

At this time, Zhang Ke had already commanded the artillery and retreated into the city. Wang Huazhen waited anxiously at the gate of the city, her head covered with sweat.

"Yongzhen, you see, Chen Shen is about to die! The trenches of the two gates in the southeast were all filled, and the Tartars took advantage of the situation to attack the city, if it weren't for Sun De's power soldiers to rush out and kill the Tartars back, I was afraid that Guangning would not be protected! ”

Sun Degong!

Zhang Ke was also stunned, he didn't expect this guy to be able to turn the tide!

At this time, the situation was even worse than imagined, it seemed that there was no way to hold out outside the city, Zhang Ke said with a calm face: "Shibo, I will let the soldiers enter the city immediately." You also have to tell all the soldiers and civilians that the Tartars are cruel and unkind, and if you enter the city, there will be no chickens and dogs left! ”

"I understand!" Wang Huazhen turned around and left.

Zhang Ke stood at the gate of the city, took two deep breaths, and calmed his irritable mind.

"Hurry, hurry up!"

The soldiers hurriedly pushed the sports cart and flew into the city. The partial box trucks brought by Wu Boyan played a role, and the sturdy partial box trucks could pull a Franco cannon and bring four or five artillery pieces.

Just as they were retreating, the shouts of killing outside became more and more violent, and the Tartars were triumphant. Being able to kill a guerrilla attacker, their morale was greatly boosted, and it seemed that victory was not far away.

"Kill, rush into Quang Ninh!"

The Tartars rushed up from all directions, and Yue Zixuan led the pikemen to stick in front of the city gate, like a drop in the ocean, constantly retreating.

Click!

The barrel of the gun in Yue Zixuan's hand suddenly broke, and the Tartar on the opposite side had half a gun stuck in his chest, raised his axe, and slashed it over with no life.

Yue Zixuan hurriedly threw out the gun in his hand and drew out his waist knife as quickly as possible.

"Kill!"

With a slash, the Tartar's head flew into the air, and blood splattered everywhere.

Yue Zixuan looked up, and suddenly his eyes were shattered, it turned out that the two sentinels who followed him had fallen by a third, and the rest of them were almost all wounded, and the Tartars were still surging, I was afraid that they were going to die here!

Yue Zixuan gritted his teeth, he swung his knife even more frantically, and slashed over two Tartars in a row. At this time, the other Tartars also noticed him and gathered around him.

"Kill!" Yue Zixuan slashed at the Tartar in front of him, and suddenly felt a pain in his shoulder, a half-foot-long knife edge, dripping with blood!

"Hahaha, Huza is finished, kill him!"

The Tartars suddenly rushed up, and just as they were at the same time, the gunfire suddenly remembered, and several Tartars fell to the ground. Zhang Ke rushed to the front of him, waved the treasure knife in his hand, and cut down three tartars at once.

"Your Excellency!" Yue Zixuan's voice choked.

Zhang Ke's face was expressionless, and he stretched out his hand to grab him, "Go, follow me back to the city!" (To be continued)
