Chapter 151: General Attack on Dengzhou 3

And there are also people who are reluctant to eat the obtained multigrain cakes, hiding them in their arms, some are ready to eat after they go back, and some are ready to bring them back to their wives and children, but these people do not hate these officers and soldiers now, although they have to pay the price of their lives to work for the officers and soldiers, but these Fujian officials and soldiers have given them unimaginable bone broth and cereal cakes made of grain to eat, which can be regarded as an equivalent exchange.

In fact, they also understand that even if these officers and soldiers don't give them food and drink, they still have to work, but these Fujian officers and soldiers still give them food and drink, which is already very rare in this world.

Therefore, the offensive of the officials and troops on the south, east, and west sides was the fastest on the south gate, and in just one morning, they filled in several wide trenches and opened up the passage to the city wall.

At noon, what the people didn't expect was that the soldiers and generals of the Yu family army could still have a hot meal in front of the battle, a group of firehead troops, pushing a wheelbarrow, and a large bucket was placed on the wheelbarrow, which contained steaming brown rice, and some hot mixed noodles or pastries, which were sent to the front of the two armies.

In addition to these, there are also hot dishes, which are made with the common cabbage radish with a small amount of salted fish and salted pork, or dried scallop and snail meat, which exudes an attractive aroma.

This is really too unthinkable, it turns out that Fujian officers and soldiers are soldiers, and they have such a good time, in front of the two armies, they can still have a hot meal at noon, and there is actually meat, which is too difficult.

Immediately, some people proposed that they also want to be a soldier for General Yu, and a soldier for General Yu, which is really a wonderful thing, as long as they can eat this kind of food every day, even if they let them die, they will never blink an eye.

But these people's requests were politely refused, but some people told them that if they wanted to eat well in the future, they could follow Yu Jiajun after this battle, and they could give them land to plant in the future, and they would be fed!

After the battle, as long as Yu Jiajun is still willing to take them away, they will follow Yu Jiajun, otherwise as soon as Yu Jiajun leaves, they will go home and wait to starve to death.

After the battle reached noon, it began to become more intense, in order to reduce the casualties of the soldiers, this time it can be said that the fire was full at all costs, the artillery of the artillery company never stopped, this cannon was too hot to take a break, change to other guns and continue to fight, the barrel was almost red, so they continued to change the artillery, and the artillery companies fired alternately, always maintaining the high-intensity fire suppression of the rebels at the head of the city.

The rebels can be said to be beaten in the city, but there is no way to fight back, they can only hold their heads and be beaten, whoever just rises is not far from death, Li Jiucheng's son Li Yingyuan at noon, the overseer resisted, but just showed a few faces in the city, and was shot in the neck by the sharpshooter of the Yu family's army.

Li Yingyuan couldn't even scream, his neck was broken, and he fell into a pool of blood, and after a few convulsions, he swallowed his breath.

The news was transmitted to Li Jiucheng, Li Jiucheng was full of liver and gall, and his anger was about to split, and he drew a knife on the spot and cut down a personal soldier beside Li Yingyuan to the ground, holding a knife and pointing at the sky and shouting: "The surname is Yu!" I, Li Jiucheng, don't share the sky with you! Today is either you die or I die! Come on, drumming! If anyone dares to retreat and avoid the battle, there will be no mercy! ”

Under Li Jiucheng's supervision, the rebels somewhat regained some will to resist, and the counterattack on the city became more violent, but this kind of supervision and warfare by killing people has never been able to really mobilize morale, and when a group of rebels were killed on the city wall by the guns of the Yu family's army, the morale of the rebels fell again.

In fact, there is no better way for the Yu family army to attack such a fortified city, but it has achieved a breakthrough in firepower suppression, and if it really wants to attack the city, it still has to rely on local methods.

A large number of Yujia soldiers, under the leadership of the company commander, deputy company commander and platoon commanders, began to lead their subordinates, starting with sword players, and a small number of pikemen also replaced with short spears or single knives, grabbed a shield, as a follow-up force, and followed the knife players to start climbing the ladder.

As for the musketeers, they raised their muskets at the bottom of the city for the time being, and immediately opened fire on the rebels who poked their heads out and tried to throw arrows or stones downward.

As a result, the rebels could only hide on the city wall, like thieves under the city wall, and throw stones and trees like blind people, which greatly reduced the casualties of the Yu family's generals.

But even so, casualties were inevitable in such a strong attack, and many officers and soldiers who led the charge were hit by stones or rolling logs, screaming and falling down the ladder.

In order to reduce casualties, Yu Jiajun specially organized a stretcher team to follow the attacking troops to act together, and carried the casualties away from the city wall at the fastest speed, and then was caught by the people behind, loaded in the carriage, transported away from the battlefield, and transferred them back to the field hospital in the camp for treatment as soon as possible.

On the whole, in this siege battle, the organization of the Yu family army is still quite tight, even if there is a mistake in the middle, it is harmless, and ordinary people can't even see what is wrong.

In the future, this will be the first-hand information for evaluating the meritorious service of each unit in this battle, and it will also be the first-hand information for summing up the results of the later activities, from which many problems can be discovered and improved in future combat operations.

In the face of the powerful offensive of the family army, although the rebels also tried their best to resist, but in the afternoon, the Yu family army still seized a place on the city wall, successfully climbed the city wall, and quickly began to expand the results, and the follow-up soldiers quickly landed on the city to enhance the strength above.

When a section of the city wall changed hands, Li Jiucheng heard the news, and with red eyes, he personally beheaded a rebel general in charge of this section of the city wall, shouted and took his own soldiers, and personally rushed towards the place where the city wall was lost, trying to take advantage of the fact that the Yu family's soldiers were not firmly footed and rushed it down.

At this time, dozens of officers and soldiers of the Yu family army had already captured the city wall, and they were immediately divided into two groups, led by a deputy company commander and a platoon commander, each led a group of people, attacked both sides of the city wall, and held this area, waiting for more follow-up men to land on the city.

A large number of rebels also realized the danger at this time, so they rushed over from both sides of the city wall like crazy under the leadership of the rebel generals, trying to kill all the soldiers of the Yu family army, or drive them off the city wall.

Most of the soldiers who landed in the city were sword players, they did not have enough firepower, and there were no pikemen to cover them, so they could only rely on themselves, holding shields to form a horizontal column, blocking the rebels rushing on both sides, the battle was extremely fierce, the rebels frantically pounced, swords and guns at the same time, trying to repel them.

But these soldiers of the Yu family army, under the leadership of the officer, fought to the death and did not retreat, it can almost be said that they are fighting in exchange for life, you cut me, Lao Tzu also gave you a knife, and everyone died together.

A few wounded knife players retreated to the back of the line, endured their injuries, took out a few grenades, blew the fire folds hidden in their arms with difficulty, put them together and lit the fuse, and handed them to the uninjured brothers beside them, and a few grenades were immediately thrown out and smashed into the crowd of rebels.

After a few bangs, the attacks of the rebels on both sides were suddenly stopped, and many rebels were blown up to the ground, and even a human leg was directly blown up to the sky, and smashed on the head of a rebel with a snap, which frightened the rebel into a pale face, and let out a series of screams and exclamations, and hurriedly threw the human leg out.

Just when this group of Yu soldiers was desperate, the people below also noticed the situation above, so some officers immediately mobilized troops to rush over, and began to climb the ladder frantically, but as soon as someone climbed the city wall, they immediately rushed to both sides without hesitation, and joined the battle to resist the rebel counterattack.

At this time, a group of pikemen finally climbed the wall and joined the array of sword players.

It was only at this time that the pikemen played an important role, cooperating with the knife player to stab with his spear from afar, and the knife player at close to him to clean up, and at this time it was possible to stabilize the line on both flanks a little.

As the two flanks stabilized a little, more and more of the Yu soldiers began to climb the city walls, making the number of people climbing the city more and more.

When the musketeers landed on the wall, the stalemate began to turn around, and when they landed in the city, they immediately began to assemble behind the knife and pikemen, and began to reload without stopping, and when they had finished loading, an officer's wild cry was heard: "The man in front squats!" Fast! ”

After hearing the sound, the sword players and pikemen who first landed in the city did not say a word, and collectively squatted down with a hula, revealing the musketeers behind them, only to hear the sound of muskets like bursting beans, and the rebels who were crowded in the front screamed and fell into a pool of blood even though they were sprayed with blood.

In order to hold Dengzhou City, under the supervision of the rebel generals, they rushed from both sides to block the Yu family soldiers who had already landed in the city, and the two sides launched a desperate fight on a very narrow city wall.

Yu Xiaotiantong guò telescope quickly noticed this place, and realized that whether he could attack Dengzhou City today depends on this place.

So he shouted, "Reserves! Above! Artillery, fire on both sides of the city walls and suppress the rebels! Be fast! The follow-up troops have to keep up! Come on! ”
