Chapter Thirty-Eight: Defending the New Field (II)
"Oil! Oil, oil! Get on the Rolling Oil! The guard shouted nervously, and he waved his hand to signal the pan to come quickly. The pan quickly moved to the low wall, and it fell down with it.
"Uh-ahhh Even if some of the Qing soldiers with shields used oil to block them, the oil that fell down from under the shields still flowed down and burned them.
Not only that, but the oil also splashed everywhere, scalding the other people, relatively speaking, the Qing soldiers who raised their shields were lucky, and their injuries were not large.
It's just that the heat is too high, and their shields can't hold steadily, and the shields all fall to the ground. Some people had burned eyes, he covered his eyes, howled constantly, couldn't see, scurried around like headless flies, and then bumped into another comrade, and the two fell together.
The Qing soldiers in the back don't care if you fall and lie on the ground, and they don't care if you are a comrade-in-arms, what they want is to pour into the city as quickly as possible.
One person in front stepped on it! The wail of "ah" from the Qing soldiers who fell to the ground was not only a vent of pain, but also a reminder to their comrades-in-arms that you should stop stepping on me! You and I are both Qing soldiers, don't do this, okay? We must have the friendship of our comrades!
But it was useless, the follow-up Qing soldiers still rushed up one after another, they stepped on it, no, when one of them rushed over, he stepped on his head with a kick, and he fainted suddenly. One by two, constantly coming and stepping on him, he was trampled to death on the spot.
"Quick!" With a very long and procrastination roar, Zhao Dayong signaled to the guards to have more, and they must block the air port as quickly as possible.
"Bump!" Qing soldiers are even if they collide. Constantly use your shoulders to ram. That's just stupidity. It didn't work at all.
"Re-oil!" Someone above the city shouted loudly, and an arrow of "whoosh" hit him in the head, and he immediately fell to the ground, but when he exhaled, he was still saying: "Oil ......" means that he wants people to pour oil again.
"Put!" The firecrackers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty came, and they squatted down and shot at the head of the city, trying to suppress it with firepower. The Qing soldiers below can be poured into the city.
No matter how powerful and fierce your Qing soldiers were, they couldn't stop the defenders from braving the rain of guns and arrows, and they still moved the oil pot to the top of the city and fell down.
No, the Qing soldiers below burned oil and poured oil from head to foot, and fainted on the spot. "Thrown" soil explosives were thrown down, which were made by the people themselves, and these earth bombs played a great role when they were defending Li Zicheng's righteous army in Kaifeng. Wounded a large number of rebels.
When Kaifeng City was destroyed by floods, Zhang Biwu rescued 100,000 Kaifeng people. Therefore, he is still very familiar with the methods of using these earth bombs to defend the city, and now that he uses them, he can kill and injure a large number of Qing troops.
With a "boom", one after another earth bombs blew up the Qing soldiers to the ground, and this time, the Qing soldiers' idea of rushing in through the gap was all in vain.
"It's blocked!" The people in the city shouted, Zhao Dayong and Zhao Dawei were relieved, because of their strength, Zhang Biwu let them act as the captain of the transportation team, and also played the role of blocking the city gate, although they are also generals, but they have great strength, in this meeting, one by one, no! It can be said that it is a top ten! The effect is very obvious!
On the other side, the Qing army's red-coated artillery was already hot due to the continuous firing of the cannon, and if the cannon continued to be fired, there was a danger of exploding.
Every artilleryman wanted to stop firing, but Lei Xing's herald came and conveyed Lei Xing's order, open fire! The guns must continue to be fired!
Everyone is embarrassed, and if it continues like this, it will really blow up! Don't you see that the Hongyi cannons on the head of the city have stopped? That's why they know this, so they stop firing for the time being, and wait until the chamber is a little colder, and then start firing!
"Fire!" The herald yelled, he took chicken feathers as an arrow, who would dare not obey? Reload, aim! Preparation! Ignition! Fire!
"Ahh There was an exclamation, because the artillerymen knew that the Hongyi cannon was in danger of exploding, and the artillerymen were very experienced, and they quickly fell to the ground.
Although the herald still didn't know what was going on, he was pounced on and fell. "Boom", although this cannon did not explode, but the distance was very close, after all, the cannon bore was overheated, and if it continued to fight, it would explode.
At close range, everyone's ear drums buzzed, and nothing could be heard.
However, the artillery is very experienced, and he keeps gesturing in front of the herald, hoping that he can quickly repay Lei Xing and Li Qifeng, and he can't shoot any more artillery, and if he fights again, the Hongyi cannon will be in danger of exploding.
At this time, Lei Xing and Li Qifeng also felt that the Hongyi cannon did not bombard Xinye City, but on their own side.
Li Qifeng said: "Could it be that the chamber of the Hongyi cannon is overheated?" If that were the case, we wouldn't be able to fire any more! After all, we don't have many cannons! Many Hongyi cannons are there for the prince! ”
Good boy! They also knew that the Manchus did not really trust their Han people, as their own people, the Hongyi cannon did not allocate more to them, if it was too much, Zhang Biwu's Xinye City would not be able to hold, and the city wall could not withstand the repeated bombardment of many Hongyi cannons. Of course, Zhang Biwu also knew this point of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they had to use both the Han and the Han people, so he was able to take advantage of this loophole.
When Lei Xing heard this, he was also afraid, the Hongyi cannon was gone, and they could only rely on the attack of individual soldiers, and now that the cannon on the city was not heard, he could see that Zhang Biwu was letting his Hongyi cannon cool down, so that he could continue to fire.
Lei Xing said, "Quick! Stop firing from the redcoat cannon for the time being! "It's too late!
Because the herald could not see the meaning when he gestured at him in the face of the artillerymen, and he was deaf by the sudden earthquake, he thought that the artillerymen were deliberately trying to embarrass him.
The herald ignored him, and he shouted: "The general has an order, open the cannon!" Collapse Shinno Castle! Who dares to kill against the order! "Kill!" This stirs in everyone's heart.
The artilleryman still didn't move, but when the herald pulled out the knife and put it on his neck, he was really helpless!
These artillerymen had no choice but to continue to reload and fire another shot, hoping that they would not explode, but the wishes were beautiful, and the reality was always cruel.
With a "boom", the Hongyi cannon exploded! The ignition artillery and the calibrated artillery are all on guard, and when they see that the situation is not good, they immediately want to flee, but it's a pity!
There was still an unfortunate man who was injured by the blast wave when he fell to the ground while he was still in mid-air and did not hit the ground, and he rolled several times in succession, and when he stopped rolling, he saw that he was out of breath.
"Ahh Blown up! "This time, they are all stupid! The only Hongyi cannon has exploded! So, what else did they use to blast open the walls of Shinno Castle?
The herald was stupid, and he vaguely heard an artilleryman reproaching him: "It's not that he's a fox and a tiger, and he insists that we can't open fire, and we all say that we can't fire again!" He insisted that we shoot! ”
The herald left immediately, he was Lei Xing's personal soldier, he could completely shirk his responsibility, and now that the public is angry, if he doesn't leave, he can't wait for death?
The herald quickly returned to Lei Xing, and at this time, Lei Xing was also very nervous, because the artillery was not bombarded in Xinye City, but was once again on the artillery position.
The herald said, "Oh no! General, the red-coated cannon is blown up! Lei Xing looked at him, his face was dark, all because of the blackened smoke, and he couldn't help sighing again, and he said, "Alas! Without the red-coated cannon, we can only keep attacking each other! Especially now that the onslaught does not give his red-coated cannon a chance to breathe! ”
"Alas!" Li Qifeng also sighed and said, "What we can do is to continue the attack, and report to the Qin Governor urgently, so that the Qin army can come to the aid quickly!" Don't say anything, bring us a few red-coated cannons, and we can destroy Shinno Castle! I really don't know if the envoy we sent before we set out on the expedition went to the Qin Governor's place? ”
Lei Xing nodded, he said that he understood that Qin Governor He Luo would not send even a single soldier, as long as he gave a few red-clothed cannons, this would be the best support.
"Report! The envoy sent to Qindi is back! "This report is just like timely rain! Li Qifeng and Lei Xing are in good spirits!
Li Qifeng was even more happy like a child, and he shouted excitedly: "Either the Qin army is coming, or the red-clothed cannon is coming!" Ha Lu Ha! Zhang Biwu, your end has come! ”
At the same time, Zhang Biwu, who was in the city, was watching the battle situation, and he knew that the fierce battle of this day had caused his bow and arrow and gunpowder to suffer a great loss, and he needed to replenish it.
Now he asked people to cut wood into arrows as soon as they had free time, although there was still a lot of arrows in stock, but the fierceness of the battle was beyond his imagination, and he had to prepare in advance.
At the same time, Zhang Biwu also had a sense of foreboding! Could it be that Li Qifeng and Lei Xing are happy, and He Luohui's army is about to arrive?
Not mentioning the offensive and defensive battles of Xinye for the time being, he once again turned his attention back to Yuan Zongdi's side.
When Yuan Zongdi and them just wanted to rest at night, they didn't expect the Qing army to come with it, and they also wanted to eliminate Yuan Zongdi and them.
"Run! Run as fast as you can! "This is inevitable, is it possible to let you destroy it?
The soldiers assigned by Zhang Biwu to Yuan Zongdi are all very good at legs and feet, they run fast, let you have four legs, but in the dense forest, you can't exert your motivation.
Besides, they still want to go to places with mountains, as long as they drag the Qing army to pursue, do you Qing army have horses? Don't understand tired, do you? It doesn't matter! We didn't intend to drag you down and destroy you, but we just dragged you down, pinned you down, and kept you in pursuit. (To be continued......)
