Chapter 1534: Living and Dying with the City (2)
Fighting, tragic fighting!
For half a day, the soldiers of Mengxin Town stood at the head of the city, desperately resisting the repeated attacks of the Rakshasa soldiers, the city head was full of the corpses of the Rakshasa soldiers and the Ming army, and even stood on tiptoe, the infantry trampled on the corpses, and they were still charging.
The advantages of the Rakshasa soldiers' weapons have been vividly brought into play, not only with the help of artillery, but also with spears in the hands of the Rakshasa soldiers, although after military reform, the spears in the hands of the Rakshasa soldiers are now much shorter than before, but there are still two meters in length, for the flintlock musket, it is more than twice as long as it is, one inch stronger, one inch long, when attacking the city, the Rakshasa soldiers who are at a disadvantage use the spears in their hands to constantly stab forward, so that the soldiers of Manmeng Xinzhen are passive, and their bayonets cannot reach others, But other people's spears can easily pierce themselves.
"Kill!"
A big battle, countless casualties, but, after all, after dusk, the soldiers of Manmeng Xinzhen finally held the city of Weihuo and repelled the attack of the Rakshasa soldiers, however, the weakness of the city of Weihuo was still exposed - there were no more shells!
When the fighting was the most tragic, the Rakshasa soldiers mobilized 20,000 cavalry in one breath to attack the Ming army, and many Rakshasa soldiers had even rushed to the head of Weihuo City, such a dangerous situation, the Ming army still did not fire artillery to block the Rakshasa soldiers behind, there was only one possibility, that is, the Ming army had no shells!
Chherkov was excited, after eight days of fierce fighting, the Ming army finally ran out of ammunition, then the next big battle will be much easier!
"General, it's obvious, haha, they have absolutely no shells, no artillery blocking, we want to rush to the city, it's easy, especially after sending cavalry, the Ming army obviously can't parry!"
Donetsov said excitedly.
Chernkov nodded and replied: "Yes, they have no shells, and their troops have suffered heavy casualties, and in two days at most, we can take the city of Weihuo!" Order, the army rests, early tomorrow morning, first five rounds of artillery bombardment, then the infantry battalion musket cover, cavalry direct assault, I want to kill the Ming army defending Huo City, and avenge the revenge of the year! ”
In Weihuo City, the current Duan Xuan has already been covered in blood, sitting on the ground and whirring in rough clothes, a scuffle, but it is really tired, and there are at least thirty or forty Rakshasa soldiers who died in Duan Xuan's hands, however, this battle has also brought huge casualties to the Ming army, and now the eight thousand soldiers of Weihuo City, there are only less than three thousand people who can continue to fight, and in eight days, more than five thousand people have been killed, such a tragic battle can be said to be rare in recent years for the Ming army.
"Ji Peng, help me up and inspect the whole city!"
Duan Xuan stood up with difficulty and began to inspect the city, above the city, there were screams and moans of seriously injured soldiers everywhere, miserable, eight thousand Manmeng New Town, since the defeat of Kulun's army, it was hit hard again, the eight thousand people in Weihuo City are the most elite force in Manmeng New Town, more than 10,000 troops in Guo Zhen's hands, most of them are new soldiers, and their combat power is far inferior to these 8,000 people, once these 8,000 people are defeated, it means that Manmeng New Town is over, and the entire Mobei is in danger.
It's all the elite power that they have worked so hard to bring out, and now it's going to be lost, and the Weihuo City Fortress that was built with great difficulty, this time I'm afraid it's hard to hold on, this feeling is like being cut off with a knife on the flesh on the body!
"My lord, there is a big battle tomorrow, you can rest first, this is for us......"
Staff General Ji Peng said in a low voice.
Duan Xuan took a deep breath and said fiercely, "Rest? At this time, do you think I can still rest? Pass the order, select elite forces, take turns patrolling in the south and east cities, strictly prevent the Rakshasa soldiers from sneak attacking, and the rest of the troops, all recuperate, we will have a hard battle tomorrow! ”
The night passed, and the next day the sky was just bright, and the Rakshasa soldiers attacked again, this time there was no infantry cavalry to charge, it was completely artillery bombardment, wave after wave of shelling, the rammed earth and bricks of the city wall were scorched by the flowering bullets, and a collapsed city wall fell completely under the attack of artillery, and it was a huge gap!
After half an hour of shelling, the smoke of gunpowder has not dissipated, the Rakshasa soldiers began to assault again, 5,000 elite cavalry quickly advanced, on both sides were infantry battalions with rifle fire to provide cover, 6,000 infantry fired together, the fire was rapid, suppressing the counterattack of the Ming army at the head of the city, and the dense bullets made the Ming army unable to raise their heads, and had to hide under the female wall, shooting.
The battle started again, this time, Duan Xuan had given up the spear in his hand, yesterday there was a big battle, his gun was cut off by the Saber of the Cossack cavalry, and he could not continue to use it, and now he was replaced with a simple knife, standing at the head of the city, constantly waving, the blade was over, and blood was splashed.
However, no matter how brave Duan Xuan is, now under the siege of other cavalry, he can't hold on for a long time, not to mention that Duan Xuan already has internal injuries, and the mouthful of blood spit out yesterday really hurt Duan Xuan's body, and it is obvious that he can't support it for a few days.
"Rush up! Kill! ”
Several Rakshasa soldiers suddenly took advantage of the slackness of the Ming army's soldiers, and once again rushed to the top of the city from below, stood on their heels, and the spears in their hands continued to stab at the Ming army, covering the soldiers behind them to quickly climb up, obviously, if you don't drive these people down, this Weihuo City will be dangerous today, however, the kung fu in the hands of these people is really not weak, more than a dozen Ming infantry here, can not drive a few Rakshasa soldiers down!
Duan Xuan's face changed greatly, he jumped over with an arrow step, and roared: "Get out of the way for me!" Look at me! ”
Duan Xuan almost exhausted all his strength, and swept towards the two Rakshasa soldiers in front, the Rakshasa soldiers were shocked, and put the spear upright, trying to block this blow, however, it is obvious that Duan Xuan is not an ordinary person, the title of the Ming Dynasty is not for nothing, Pu Dao swept obliquely, because the barrel of the spear is made of good rattan wood soaked in oil, the elasticity is amazing, very tough, the front is cut, absolutely can not be cut, but Duan Xuan's blade looked at it obliquely, it was indeed different, one knife cut off the two spears, At the same time, two human heads flew one after another!
The arms of the two corpses were still waving, and their bodies were planted under the city!
Duan Xuan waved the Pu knife in his hand again, and attacked the two Rakshasa soldiers behind him, the two Rakshasa soldiers were really startled when they saw such a brave Ming army general, they couldn't ease their senses at all, they stood in a daze, forgetting to block!
Burst......
Duan Xuan's Pu Dao didn't have a machete opponent, and suddenly there was a slight sound of a bullet entering the flesh, a bullet was nailed into Duan Xuan's chest, and a sharp pain came, Duan Xuan couldn't cut it anymore, and his body slowly fell backwards!
