Chapter 608: Time Shifts
"Minggou is here!"
"Stop hiding, get up."
"Fucking get up, get up and get ready to meet the enemy."
"The gold juice is burning, the ash bottle is ready, and there are 10,000 enemies, hurry up and bring the 10,000 enemies over!"
Mr. Qian's roar resounded throughout the platform, but Zhang Zongren's mind was still stunned, and the half-hour-long shelling just now shocked his whole person.
"Get up, get up!"
Zhang Zongren was stunned, and he had already received a kick from Mr. Qian.
This kick instantly woke Zhang Zongren up, quickly turned over and got up, and then entered behind the parapet with a spear, and then looked forward on stilts, only to see that the Ming army had already lined up and entered within fifty steps.
"Archers, release their arrows, and musketeers, fire quickly!"
Mr. Qian's roar sounded again, and more than a dozen archers on the platform hurriedly pulled their bows and released their arrows, and the only two musketeers also hurriedly raised their arquebuses and aimed at the opposite side.
The next moment, the sound of the bowstring vibrating.
Immediately a gunshot rang out, and only one of the two arquebuses was successfully fired.
Zhang Zongren hurriedly looked at the Ming army opposite, and he couldn't see it very clearly in the dark, but it should have been that no one was shot, and he didn't see the Ming army fall to the ground anyway.
"Oops, it didn't hit."
"Fourth, you're blind."
"I can't even hit it so closely."
Lian Yong's ridicule immediately sounded on the platform.
Lian Yong, who was ridiculed, decisively took another musketeer to back himself.
"When I said this, Lao Tzu made a sound, unlike Ma Liu, who didn't even let out a fart."
After the round of shelling just now, these Lian Yong seemed to have passed the initial panic period, and one by one they were even in the mood to make fun of the two musketeers who did not behave well.
However, this is only an illusion.
Just as Lian Yong was coaxing, a dense gunfire suddenly rang out.
But it was the Ming army on the opposite side that opened fire, and a row of dense bullets rained down in an instant.
Lian Yong, who was still huddled behind the parapet wall and making a fuss just now, fell down more than a dozen in an instant, including the musketeer Li Si, who was shot directly in front of the door and fell backwards to the ground.
"Squat, squat!"
Mr. Qian's voice sounded again.
Zhang Zongren hurriedly squatted down.
After squatting down, Zhang Zongren found that Li Si actually fell at his feet.
By the light of the fire, Zhang Zongren could clearly see that Li Si's face door was already a lake of flesh and blood from the nose down, leaving only a huge hole, but a pair of eyes were wide open.
Zhang Zongren felt a buzz and was stunned again.
Only then did Zhang Zongren suddenly realize that this was not a fight, but a war.
Fighting is to the death, and from this moment on, he may be killed by the Ming army at any time, so the great fear will be irrepressibly controlled by Zhang Zongren.
……
The North Korean army has come to the front of the slope protection of the first heavy platform.
The Ming infantry who were responsible for covering the Korean army had already set up rows of lines behind the slope protection, and used the self-generated fire guns to suppress the Jiannu on the opposite platform.
The Jiannu on the opposite side of the platform has been completely suppressed.
Li Yucheng also did not see a Ming soldier who was shot and fell to the ground.
"Li Yucheng, it's your turn." A Ming army staff officer rushed in.
"Yes!" Li Yucheng responded loudly, and then turned around and shouted, "For the sake of Daming, rush with me!" ”
"For Da Ming!" Hundreds of North Korean soldiers responded loudly, and then followed Li Yucheng down the ladder to the trench.
In the trench, there were bales of wheat straw thrown by the people in advance, and the flames illuminated the originally dark trench as bright as day.
In addition to providing lighting, burning wheat straw bales can also destroy the traps of the slaves.
Many of the crossbow traps were burned, and even the mines were detonated.
It's just that there are still a lot of crossbows and mines left, and the most annoying thing is the iron thistle.
When the North Korean army descended to the bottom of the trench and charged forward, people were constantly pierced by thistles and fell to the ground, and even more unfortunate were shot through the body by crossbows or blown up directly by mines.
Overall, however, the casualty figures are not significant.
After paying more than 20 casualties, Li Yucheng's 100-man team rushed to the parapet of Jiannu Tower.
The height of the parapet wall is actually only five or six feet, but with the addition of a one-zhang deep trench, the total height is more than four meters.
"Set up the ladder, put it up!" Li Yu gave an order, and the North Korean army that followed quickly erected the four wooden ladders that had been carried over.
"Follow me!"
Li Yucheng, the second dog, is indeed brave.
With a loud roar, Li Yu took the lead in climbing up the ladder.
At this time, the battle entered the white heat, and the Jiannu on the platform realized the danger and began to desperately probe out to try to counterattack.
One by one, the ash bottles were thrown down.
Buckets of golden juice were poured down.
The most terrifying thing is that there are 10,000 enemies, who can burn people.
The North Korean troops who stepped on other ladders to attack on their backs were met by Jiannu, some were poured on their faces by the gold juice, some were covered by the lime lake after the ash bottle was broken, and they were even sprayed by the flames of 10,000 enemies, and immediately covered their faces and fell from the ladder, and the Korean troops on the three ladders were quickly defeated.
One of the ladders was even burned by 10,000 enemies.
However, Li Yucheng miraculously stepped on the ladder and climbed to the edge of the platform.
Four Jiannu probes came out and tried to stab Li Yucheng into the trench with spears, but just as they probed, a dense row of guns came across the opposite side, and the four Jiannu were instantly knocked down.
Taking advantage of this short gap, Li Yucheng untied two grenades from his waist and pulled the fuse.
According to the instructions of the Ming army instructor, Li Yucheng threw the grenade up after counting to three.
As soon as the two grenades crossed the top of the platform parapet, they exploded violently, accompanied by a loud sound and a dazzling bright light, hundreds of sharp fragments flew in all directions in an instant.
Due to the advancement of casting technology, the improved grenade has a thinner body and greater lethality.
There is certainly no way to compare with the German army's long wooden-handled grenades during World War II, but compared to the border areas of the Eighth Route Army, it must be as good as it is, at least there will be no explosion in half.
In the next moment, there was a scream behind the parapet of the platform, and you didn't need to look to know that there must have been many Jiannu who had been killed and injured by grenades.
The two grenades that Li Yucheng threw upwards just now exploded in the air.
Li Yucheng took the opportunity to jump on the parapet wall, and when he looked at it again, he saw that the Jiannu behind the parapet had already been lying on the ground, and several Jiannu were covering their faces and wailing.
But there was also a Jiannu who rushed over with a spear.
Li Yucheng decisively raised the short gun and pulled the trigger.
"Phew!" A gunshot rang out, and Jiannu was immediately shot in front of the door and fell backwards.
Li Yucheng picked up the spear of the Jiannu spearman and strode forward.
Behind Yu Cheng, more than a dozen North Korean soldiers screamed and climbed over the parapet.
It only took a few moments before and after, and the first platform of Jiannu was breached.
……
Hong Chengchou's heart was cold.
The fact that the first tower had fallen so quickly was a bit of a surprise to him.
According to this rhythm, the quadruple platform on the east bank of the canal will last for about half an hour, and it may not even be able to wait for the arrival of the Eight Banners Han Army led by Kong Youde.
No, you can't do that.
You have to prepare for the worst.
At that moment, Hong Chengchou shouted: "Hong Er! ”
Ding Honger stepped forward and said, "Master, the slave is here." ”
Hong Chengchou shouted: "You immediately go and inform Lian Yong on the west bank of the canal, and ask them to immediately chisel the ice and set it on fire, and chisel the ice surface of this section of the canal as soon as possible. ”
"Huh!" Ding Honger turned around and ran away, and soon disappeared.
Seeing Hong Er's figure go away, Hong Chengchou couldn't stop recalling the battle of Juehua Island in his mind.
It was the sixth year of the Apocalypse (1626), and it was also the first month, after the old Khan Nurhachi failed to attack Ningyuan, he poured out his anger on Juehua Island, which was fifteen miles away from the west coast of Liao.
Because of the bitter cold weather, the North Sea is completely covered in ice.
So the Eight Banners Manchuria directly stepped on the ice and launched an attack.
And the sailors of the Ming army have completely turned into ornaments.
The Ming army was forced to dig a fifteen-mile-long ice trench around Juehua Island in an attempt to prevent the Eight Banners Manchuria from landing on the island.
But the weather was too cold, and the ice trench just dug by the Ming army was frozen again in a blink of an eye, even if the wheat straw was set on fire, and the ice was not refrozen quickly, and finally the Eight Banners Manchuria was able to land on the island.
】
More than 10,000 Ming soldiers and civilians on the island were slaughtered.
The 80,000 stone military rations on the hoarded island were also robbed, and the Ming army suffered heavy losses.
However, the times have changed, and now it is the turn of the Qing soldiers to dig ice trenches and set fire to the ice to stop the Ming army from attacking, I wonder if the final result will be like the battle of Juehua Island?
Anyway, Hong Chengchou felt like a dream.
……
Inside the camp of the Ming army.
The Air Force's Flying Car One rose into the air again.
Of course, the bottom is tied with a cable.
Otherwise, the black light is blind, and the wind is strong, and they don't know where to fly.
Jiannu's abnormal movements could not escape the eyes of everyone on the No. 1 Flying Car at all.
"Holy Lord, look." Zheng Sen put down his binoculars, pointed to the fire on the canal in front of him and said, "Jiannu is already setting fire to the ice, and it seems that gunpowder is not buried in the canal." ”
If gunpowder had been buried in the canal ice, there would have been no hassle at all.
Igniting the gunpowder and detonating it can blow up the ice on the canal.
"That's to be expected, too." Chongzhen said abruptly, "What we chose is neither a big port nor a military town, just an ordinary river, Jiannu can't bury gunpowder in the entire canal, so how much gunpowder do we need?" From Xuzhou to Beijing, it is more than 1,000 miles. ”
Gao Qiqian said proudly: "However, Jiannu couldn't have imagined that Long Live Lord had already thought of it, and made preparations for it in advance, the ice climbing plow equipped by the baggage battalion can not only glide on the ice, but also travel on land, and can also sail in the river, so even if Jiannu burns and melts the ice surface of the canal, it is useless." ”
Chongzhen didn't stop drinking high diving this time, but used this sycophant solidly.
Because the baggage cart of the Ming army's baggage battalion can indeed be called a major innovation in Chinese history.
