Chapter 228: Oh no, this is ten thousand enemies!
Soon, Jiannu was within five hundred steps.
Although Shanyang Xiangyong had dug out more than 200 large and small platforms outside the city, and could hardly find a good road for the traffic of the car, this did not cause much hindrance to the progress of Jiannu.
Because Jiannu brought a large number of military coats, he filled in the passage early.
When Jiannu entered the firing range, Yan Yingyuan gave an order without hesitation: "The tiger squat cannon is free to fire!" ”
When he was training before, Yan Yingyuan was worried that if he fired too many times, the barrel of the Tiger Squat Cannon would explode, so he had been controlling the frequency of firing and firing, but now there was no need to control it.
If you still control it at this time, it will become a waste of food due to choking.
After receiving Yan Yingyuan's order, the gunner immediately swung a sledgehammer, fixed the two tiger claws of the tiger squat cannon to the city wall with an iron drill, and then began to adjust the firing angle by raising or lowering the tail of the gun.
After adjusting the angle of fire, it is time to reload the gunpowder lead.
After the lead is loaded, the muzzle is reloaded.
The operation of the Xiangyong gunner was a little clumsy, and it took a long time to get better.
"Put!" With Wu Erdan's order, 30 tiger squat cannons fired at the same time.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom......" A continuous huge roar immediately sounded on the north gate wall.
With a loud roar, clouds of white smoke rose from behind the battlements.
However, it is very regrettable that not a single bullet can hit Jiannu's car, and it has fallen into the wilderness before it has even flown to it, and it has not formed a ricochet.
The ground is not capable of forming ricochets.
However, there are a lot of guns hitting the front of the car.
But lead alone can't penetrate the cart at all.
The Jiannu behind the car was also unscathed.
Yan Yingyuan didn't care much about this.
The Tiger Squat Cannon really works, not now.
Now it's just a matter of letting the gunners seize the time to train in real combat.
Don't use them anymore, it's still embarrassing.
……
"Tiger Squat Cannon?!"
But Duoduo's face fell.
In Suining, Taoyuan and Qinghe County before, they were not attacked by tiger squat artillery, and it seems that Shanyang City is still different as the capital city of Huai'an Prefecture.
However, after seeing that the tiger squat cannon was useless, Duoduo's hanging heart fell back.
It seems that the tiger squat cannon can only be effective when used in conjunction with the gun, used to defend the city, far away can not penetrate the car, close but can not hit the foot of the city wall, it is completely a decoration.
The situation that followed was just as Dodor had thought.
When the distance was more than 100 paces, almost none of the closing bullets of the Tiger Squat Cannon hit, the accuracy of the closing bullets was too poor, and the penetration of the lead was too weak, so it was almost no threat to the car.
Within a hundred steps, the tiger squat cannon is directly out of reach.
Because there is no way for the Tiger Squat Cannon to shoot downwards.
As a result, one of the 1,500 Qilao (1,500 banners) and more than 1,000 clothed minions easily advanced to the north gate with the cover of 60 chariots.
There was originally a moat outside Sanyo Castle.
But by this time the moat and the canal that ran through it had long been frozen.
Therefore, the flagman with the white flag directly pushed the cart across the moat.
Less than ten steps away from the city wall, the coaters began to assemble the ladder.
Since the city wall of Shanyang is six zhang high, it takes four ladders to splic, so only 15 ladders can be put together in the end of 60 chariots, but in Duoduo's opinion, 15 ladders are enough.
As long as the bannermen with white flags can be sent to the city, the battle is over.
The only suspense is how many people will die in the end? Maybe more than 100 people.
After all, in Suining County, Taoyuan County, and Qinghe County, twenty or thirty people would have to die in battle just to capture one platform, and Shanyang City was much stronger than the platform over there.
So it's normal to die a few more.
A hundred flagmen is already a big casualty.
But the two white flags now have more than 100 cattle records, and this casualty can still be afforded.
Duoduo pondered that the attack had already erected the ladder and fastened it to the chariot by the mortise and tenon riveting structure, and the iron hook at the other end firmly hooked the battlements of the city wall.
The townspeople at the head of the city also began to fight back.
These townsmen actually made a lot of rudimentary bows and arrows.
Seeing thousands of archers suddenly appearing on the city's head, Duoduo and the two white-flag nobles watching the battle were startled, and when they saw the arrows raining down on the city, everyone's hearts were lifted.
Soon, however, the nobles of Dordor and the two white flags burst out laughing.
Because the rain of arrows pouring down from the head of Shanyang City did not pose any threat to the bannermen with white flags, only those clothed minions who lacked armor and stomach protection were shot and injured.
And it didn't last long.
Because the flag-bearer with the white flag began to use the big bow to counteract.
The heavy arrows shot by Daxiao's bow are much more lethal than Xiangyong's homemade bows and arrows, and Jiannu's archery skills are even stronger than those archers in Xiangyong, so although the white flag only uses two oxen archers to suppress it, it still easily suppresses the Xiangyong archers on the head of the city.
Immediately, more than 100 bannermen cut their swords and horses, and divided into fifteen roads to climb the ladder and climb up.
However, the townspeople at the head of the city were not afraid, and immediately pushed down the rolling logs and smashed the stones, and hundreds of pounds of rolling logs or stones were smashed down the ladders, and the momentum was terrifying.
It's just that Jiannu is obviously prepared.
The fifteen bannermen who climbed at the front were all singled out strongmen, and they carried a large shield.
Seeing the rolling wood and stones smashed down from the city, these strong men hurriedly put their bodies close to the ladder, and at the same time carried the big shield diagonally on their shoulders.
This is an individual job, but also a technical job.
You can't do this job without more than 10 years of relevant work experience.
The dozen or so flagmen with white flags obviously have a lot of experience in operation, and they actually withstood the impact of waves of rolling logs and stones, and even continued to climb up against the current!
"Master, it looks like you'll be able to take Shanyang City soon." He Luohui said with a flattering face.
"Hey, don't get too happy." Duoduo waved his hand and said, "From the battle process in Suining County, Taoyuan County and Qinghe County, we can know that the real battle is after our warriors have landed in the city. ”
"Yes." Zhengbai Qigu Shan Ezhen Ahsan also said, "After our warriors land in the city, Xiang Yong will definitely use fishing nets, gold juice and even lime to launch a crazy counterattack, and that is the real test at that time." ”
"The test of fart." He Luohui would not be polite to Ah Shan He Luo, and pouted and said, "It's just a dying struggle, and no matter how much you struggle, it's a death, Shanyang City has actually been taken down by me with a white flag......"
However, before the last word "down" was finished, a sudden change occurred.
I saw spoonfuls of steaming yellow-green liquid suddenly spilling down from the city.
In addition, a large number of paper bags, cloth bags, pottery vases and even porcelain vases were smashed from the city.
These "things" smashed on the ladder, on the big shield, and even on the stomach of the bannerman's armor and shattered in an instant, and then a tent of white powder splashed out from inside.
In the next moment, the flagmen crowded on the ladder immediately let out an extremely terrible wail.
Because the shield couldn't protect it at all, the gold juice, lime and so on were all hit from the side.
The elite flagmen who withstood wave after wave of rolling logs and stones attacked finally couldn't hold on anymore at this point, and planted down from the ladder one by one, and some even jumped off the initiative to do so.
"Huh? This ......" He Luohui was stunned.
Duoduo, Ahsan, and the nobles of the two white flags were also stunned.
Isn't that different? How did the Xiangyong of Shanyang change the routine with the Xiangyong of Suining County, Taoyuan County and Qinghe County? Didn't you say that we would wait for our warriors to go up and then use the gold juice and lime?
Why is it that our warriors are only halfway up and you use gold juice and lime in advance?
The flagmen inlaid with white flags suffered heavy casualties this time, most of them could not bear the pouring of gold juice and the invasion of quicklime, or fell down passively or actively, and the remaining few flagmen were soon smashed to the ground by the rolling wood stones that followed, and a few unlucky eggs were even directly pressed under the hundreds of pounds of rolling wood stones, and it is estimated that there are many auspicious ones.
"These idiots!" He Luo roared angrily, "Hurry up and shoot the dog!" ”
He Luo would scold the two Niu Lu's archers who were in charge of covering, but in fact, this was really wronging them.
The six hundred archers who were responsible for covering the attack were not idle, but had been continuously firing arrows, but Shanyang City was much higher than the platforms in Suining County, Taoyuan County, and Qinghe County.
"The First Evolution"
If it was a platform, Xiang Yong could only completely shrink behind the parapet wall, and he would be shot to death if he showed his head.
But there is no such thing on the head of the six-zhang high city of Shanyang City, and the townsmen on the head of the city can make very stretch actions such as throwing, splashing or carrying the rolling wood and stones under the cover of the battlements, as long as the head is not too high above the battlements, the white-flag-inlaid archers on the ground outside the city cannot see it at all.
Seeing this, Duoduo's brow instantly furrowed.
A bit of a hassle, huh? It seems that this Shanyang City is not easy to fight.
After a slight groan, Duoduo immediately said to He Luohui: "He Luohui, send the flying cavalry to inform Shi Tu, don't be tempted, directly throw yourself into Bayala to launch a strong attack, and kill the Ming army by surprise!" ”
"Huh!" He Luo will fight a thousand, and quickly send out a flying horse.
After receiving the order of He Luohui, the white flag launched an offensive again.
More than 100 flag-swords slashed their sabers, and climbed up the ladder.
However, this time the townspeople at the head of the city were even more ruthless, and the flagmen with white flags had just begun to climb up, and the hot gold juice was pouring down like a torrential rain.
Needless to say, the rolling wood and rocks never stopped.
There are also cloth bags, paper bags, pottery bottles and porcelain bottles filled with quicklime that are also thrown down without money.
However, the white flag of Bayala is really strong, and he climbed up against these, and in a blink of an eye, he had climbed to a height of about four zhang, thirteen meters!
But at this moment, more than a dozen huge black shadows suddenly fell on the head of Shanyang City.
"Is this a quilt?" Duoduo, He Luohui, and Ah Shan were stunned for a moment, and then roared in unison, "Oh no, this is ten thousand enemies!" ”
