Chapter 144: A Lot of Gold Run
The 8,000 army of the Semu people only surrounded the north gate and the east gate, and the west gate and the south gate were directly ignored, thinking that they were only for the city, not for people.
More than ten artillery pieces bombarded the head of Dongcheng, which was quite imposing.
And Liaoyue City did not have artillery, so it could only use bows and crossbows to fight back, and the results were pitiful.
The colonel didn't do anything here, just stared at the sound of the cannon and counted.
"The artillery moved north, be careful not to be discovered, and the three thousand cavalry were ready, and as soon as the enemy artillery stopped, they would charge. ”
By the fifteenth round, the guns of the people of color had finally stopped.
At this time, the coalition forces moved.
Han Ruxue was ordered to march west with 3,000 foot soldiers, to cross the middle of the south gate and the east gate to prevent the people of color from sneaking around.
The remaining 2,000 foot soldiers, led by Colonel Qin himself, lined up in three rows, each platoon of 600 people, and the remaining 200 as a reserve, began to encircle the east gate.
Cracks have appeared in the walls of Liaoyue City, and some of the upper parts have been opened, and it seems that they will not be able to hold out for a few rounds.
The people under the city are cooling down the artillery.
Some are sitting, some are lying down, and they are very leisurely.
The infantry in front of them are nervously assembling the siege ladder, maybe after the second round of shelling, the city will collapse, and they will be comfortable attacking.
Just when they were preparing for the next wave of offensive, the 3,000 cavalry of the Hu Yue people came from east to west.
The first to bear the brunt were the artillery of the Semu people.
Running and running, not being able to hit accurately, one hundred and ten artillery and several hundred guard infantry, only had time to put two rounds of guns, and they were approached by the cavalry, and then, there was no more.
The Semu infantry in front reacted very quickly, directly gave up the siege, and began to line up facing the east, and it was so dense that it was impossible to see how many people there were.
And after the 2,000 infantry of the coalition army reached the artillery position of the Semu people, they no longer advanced, but used their artillery.
The auspicious twenty cannons, also under the traction of the war horse, quickly approached the eastern city.
Colonel Qin commanded two thousand auspicious infantry and began to approach the Semu people head-on.
At a distance of two thousand meters, it was not slow, and just when the enemy was nervously lining up and preparing to counterattack, the mascot also came closer.
"Report that the enemy forces north of the city have turned east, as if to go to the rescue. ”
Colonel Qin sat on his war horse, put down his binoculars and said to the herald: "Let the artillery block the rescue route, and if the enemy cavalry attacks our artillery position, let the three thousand cavalry surround and annihilate them." ”
When it comes to cavalry fighting, it is natural that the Hu Yue people have an absolute advantage.
First, even if the people with muskets have muskets, they can only play one round, and they can only play in the front row, and the ones in the back have no shooting boundary.
After this shot, they on horseback did not have time at all, nor did they have the skills to load ammunition, so they had to change their knives.
Second, even if the hit rate in the first round is not low, even if they shoot on horseback, they can achieve two out of ten, as long as the rest of the Hu Yue people rush into their team, it will be a situation where the tiger enters the flock.
The point is, the people of color eyes are not good at riding and shooting.
That's where it comes in.
Therefore, Colonel Qin had the courage to let the cavalry attack.
If the team sent by the other side to rescue is infantry, it will be even better, and the cavalry will not have to trouble directly bombarding them.
Right now, without a telescope, Junior Colonel Qin can also see the color-eyed people who are waiting not far away, and the faces that are pretending to be calm.
At this time, the mascot's cannon finally adjusted the ruler and sounded.
The captured 10 colored cannons were fired with solid shells, and the auspicious 20 guns were fired with flowering shells.
As soon as the reinforcements emerged from the corner of the north wall, the cannonballs slammed into the face.
Especially for flowering bullets, there is no need to think about hitting the distance at all.
After hitting the city wall, it bounced off and exploded at the feet of the Lusters.
Under such intensive artillery fire, where can they get by.
The color-eyed people in front of Colonel Qin naturally noticed the movement in the north, and the gun team was a little chaotic, and when he saw that the cannon was not hitting him, he recovered.
"Flare!"
There was a scream of "beep", and a red flame exploded in mid-air.
"Turn the muzzle, target the East Gate color infantry, three rapid fire, fast. "The auspicious commander of the artillery position, when he saw the blooming red petals, hurriedly gave the order.
"Target East Gate Colored Infantry, three rapid fire, open fire!"
This time, the sound of the cannon was even more urgent, and the Semu people in the line looked like they were all right, mechanically holding arquebuses and pointing at the coalition forces a hundred meters ahead.
However, good fortune can't always be on their side.
When the shells fell into the array, the people fell in pieces.
How can a solid bullet kill several people with color eyes, and a flower bullet can kill at least a dozen people.
First, kinetic energy impact kills, and then fragments, sound waves, and air waves kill.
After only three rounds, nearly half of the people in the platoon fell down, and the scene was really bloody.
"Quick, turn the muzzle back again, the target is still the corner. The auspicious artillery commander put down the binoculars and hurriedly urged the gunners to readjust the target.
Through the cracks of the shelling, the Lust camp was full of wails, and it was as miserable as the eighteen layers of hell.
And the defenders in the city, according to the agreement, opened the east gate, and the cavalry in the group was like a scattered bullet, and after leaving the city gate, they formed a fan shape and threw themselves at the people who were still wailing.
"Blow the trumpet, rush!"
When the son of the landlord Lao Cai came to his senses, the war was over.
"This, that's it?"
"It's over!"
I saw him slap himself violently, and then excitedly said to the guard: "Why are you still stunned, hurry up and grab the prisoner." ”
The guard was stunned for a moment, then howled, and rushed forward as if flying, seeing that Qin Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded.
"This is not good, after the statistics are completed, they will be divided proportionally, so that it is fair, don't eat alone. "Song Peixiong can't stand it anymore, who calls others less.
"Rules? The rules of our grassland are whoever grabs it, it's who's it, don't believe it, ask everyone. The old rich son was a little disdainful.
Song Peixiong was stupid, and really looked at the other lustful heads, only to realize that the guards around them were all gone, and after feeling deceived, he pulled out his waist knife and shouted at the guards behind him: "Let's go with Lao Tzu to grab money." ”
Good guy, the dozen or so guards around him, all of them are like tigers coming down the mountain, and they are like sheep in a flock, and they are called fast, and Qin Xiaoxiao sighed to himself.
This also affected others, including the two new captains of Jixiang.
"Sir, are we ...... too?"
The auspicious 2,000 people are not a joke, they are in the east and west with the cavalry in the city, and the number of prisoners in their hands is the most.
However, Colonel Qin shook his head and said, "Let the reserve troops search and rescue the wounded, our brothers' lives are expensive, and I feel distressed if I break one." ”
Seeing this, the two stopped mentioning the robbery of money and prisoners, and arranged for manpower to search and rescue.
Besides, the reinforcements of the Semu people were stuck at the corner of the north wall and the east wall, and they could not advance an inch, killing and stabbing hundreds of people in front and back.
In the middle, their cavalry appeared once, and after seeing that the cavalry of the coalition forces did not flinch, they also flinched.
If you want to say that people can really take it and put it down, they can't do anything when they see it, so they just take people to withdraw.
The principle of accepting it when he sees it is good, Qin Xiaoxiao understands it, so he didn't chase it.
This became an excuse for the people to crusade against him.
"General Qin, you are a full man who doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry, you don't want millions of gold, you don't want it, so take care of our feelings. ”
"That's it, General Qin, the defeat is like a mountain, if you can make a decision immediately, let my Hu Yue's 3,000 cavalry cover up the past, and it will be a lot of credit. ”
Seeing that the voices of complaining were endless, after Qin Xiaoxiao dropped a sentence, he took the wounded soldiers into the city and let them mess in the wind.
"Then next time you come to be the commander, you can chase as much as you want!"
