Chapter 290: Breaking the City
In the eyes of the defenders of the city, this attack was no different from the previous ones.
It is still Qin Liangyu's department that is responsible for the west and south directions.
Mu Tianbo is responsible for the east and north directions.
The rebels clenched their weapons and waited for the other to climb up.
Ma Xianglin mixed in with a hundred throwers in the marching procession, looking no different from normal soldiers. But in fact, it is very particular about moving forward and backward.
He needs to order the throwers to throw grenades at the walls when his soldiers first arrive under the walls.
If it goes well, the opponent doesn't have time to react, and after blowing up the vacancy, your soldiers can smoothly climb the city wall.
If it doesn't go well, then throw another wave of grenades.
So these throwers have three grenades pinned to their waists.
Ma Xianglin silently calculated the distance, and the moment the soldiers in front of him were about to reach the foot of the city wall, he roared.
"Spread out!" A hundred throwers quickly dispersed to the left and right as they had rehearsed, with no one separated by three paces.
The Thrower's change of direction affected the advance of the Soldier behind him to some extent, but due to the advance arrangement, it was only a few moments before the Soldier behind him continued to move through the gap between the Thrower.
"All throwers! Listen to me! Three, two, one, throw! ”
Ma Xianglin calculated the distance and gave an order.
A hundred throwers moved in unison, twisting the caps, pulling the ropes, and then throwing the grenades in their hands towards the head of the city dozens of paces away.
"Fain is boom!"
A hundred throwers shouted in unison, and grenades flew up, drawing a graceful parabola towards the city walls.
The defenders on the walls were staring intently at the white pole soldiers who had set up ladders under the city, and some soldiers were carrying stones and throwing them down. Suddenly, I heard the shouts of the throwers, and my attention was involuntarily drawn.
What bird language is spoken?
Then I saw the other party throw a small object with a wooden handle at him.
What is it?
The soldiers at the head of the city were a little stunned, what kind of new move is this? Throwing things and smashing people? The soldiers subconsciously dodged sideways. However, a very small number of soldiers subconsciously tried to knock the grenade into the air with their weapons, but very few succeeded.
Most of the grenades landed on the city.
Look at the grenades that are gurgling and rolling on the ground and smoking.
The rebels are beginning to realize that something is wrong.
But, it's too late.
Boom, boom, boom!
The grenades exploded one by one, blowing up the soldiers at the head of the city. The grenade that fell at the foot of the city wall also exploded, and many of the surrounding white-pole soldiers were killed and wounded.
Ma Xianglin's face was gloomy! The grenades that exploded under the city were not all shot down by the opponent with weapons, and he clearly saw that three of them were smashed against the women's wall due to insufficient strength and bounced off. I'm really afraid of something, which is equivalent to at least a dozen people dying at the hands of their own people.
The smoke was blown away by the wind, and there were no soldiers left on the city to stand. Those who were close were killed on the spot, and those who were a little farther away were also pierced through their bodies by dense fragments, and those who were better lost their combat effectiveness. The unlucky one was directly hit through the head by the fragments, and he didn't know how to die.
The white-pole soldiers under the city walls quickly seized this opportunity, set up ladders, and struggled to climb up.
"The first person to climb the city will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!"
This is the reward method that is set before the battle begins.
The movement quickly attracted the attention of Pu Ming, and when he saw a large vacancy in his wall, he immediately sent someone to top it. There were soldiers on both sides running towards this side to fill the void.
Ma Xianglin looked up at the head of the city and gave the order to throw again.
"Attention everyone! Get ready to throw! Three, two, one, throw! ”
"Fain is boom!" A hundred grenades flew towards the city again.
The people who had just come to support saw that the grenade was thrown again, and immediately ran back, but there were also a few who were brave enough to use their weapons to shoot the grenade back. But the grenade itself is not big, which is so easy to hit, not to mention that even if it hits, it may not just hit back.
Explosions rang out again.
This time there was no movement in the city.
Those who were already dead were blown up again, and those who weren't dead were completely dead this time. Very few of them survived this section of the wall.
They rested, but the soldiers who climbed up did not.
Finally, a tall soldier climbed the city wall, he excitedly brandished a steel knife, trying to cut something, but the city was already a purgatory on earth, how could anyone cut him. He looked around and finally saw a softly groaning rebel, who walked up briskly and slashed at him in the neck.
This is the siege.
More and more white-pole soldiers climbed the city. One or two hundred people climbed up in the blink of an eye. The general reputation and others in the middle command were shocked, with the combat effectiveness of the white pole soldiers, if it goes on like this, it is strange that this city can be defended! Even if this group of white pole soldiers is holding steel knives in their hands for the convenience of siege.
"Quick! Go up! Can't let them come up! ”
Pu Ming gave the order anxiously. But the soldiers were already frightened by the lethality of the grenades and did not dare to move forward easily.
At this moment, the same roar was heard from the northern wall. Pu Ming looked back and saw that the city wall to the north was also filled with gunsmoke.
"It's over!"
He knew why there was a roar outside the city yesterday. It's not fireworks, it's the opponent's firearm that can be thrown. He'd heard of the Heaven-Shaking Thunder, but how could it be so powerful?
Seeing that there were more and more soldiers on the other side of the city, Pu Ming gritted his teeth, turned around and ran down the city wall, sticking to the root of the wall and running all the way to the north of the city.
Run.
This is the reaction of the general reputation.
It is also the reaction of Shayuan and Shadingzhou.
The three of them met by the river.
"You..."
"You..."
Three, you look at me, I look at you.
"Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood! Lao Pu, let's strategically transfer again for the time being, and then make plans when we get out of the city and return to Lin'an! ”
"Well said! I thought so too! Lao Sha, you have to take off your armor and stomach, otherwise you will be very tired swimming in the water. ”
"Makes sense."
The three of them found a private house and quickly took off their armor. Then I came to the river again.
"Who's coming first?" Sha Yuan asked.
"I'll do it." Sha Dingzhou said again in a decisive manner.
The two of them nodded, watching Sha Dingzhou plunge into the water.
After waiting for a while, Pu Mingsheng looked at Sha Yuan.
"You go first."
Sha Yuan nodded, did not excuse himself, and also got into the water.
After waiting for a while, Pu Fame also jumped.
These days, they practice diving whenever they have time, and they can barely swim outside the city.
But I don't know if he was too nervous, Pu Mingsheng felt that he was very tired from swimming, and the breath he had saved was not enough to support him to swim outside the city. The more anxious he became, the more chaotic he became, and when he swam to the cave, his eyes were black, he choked on a mouthful of water, and completely lost his strength.
It's dead.
Pu Mingming thought so.
In the nick of time, he felt a hand grab him by the collar and swim forward with him. A moment later, it surfaced.
Thinkers
Then he felt a pain in his face, as if someone was whipping him with a bidou.
Consciousness gradually recovered, and he saw Sha Yuan's not-so-beautiful face in front of him. He spat out a mouthful of water and said weakly.
"You're dead too?"
"you! Lao Tzu saved you! Sha Yuan said in a low voice.
It turns out that not only Pu Mingming feels that he swims slowly, but the sand source is similar, because today's water flow is extremely slow. Only Sha Dingzhou was strong and swam out in one breath. He sensed the problem, was a little uneasy, held his breath, and just rescued Sha Yuan, who was almost unable to hold on.
Sha Yuan did the same and saved his reputation again.
"Old Pu, remember. You owe me another life. ”
"Let's talk about it if we can get out." Pu Ming smiled bitterly and spoke.
At the head of the city, the rebels were defeated by the white-pole soldiers who climbed the city walls. Even Mu Tianbo's soldiers were extraordinarily heroic, and the combat effectiveness that erupted was not weaker than that of the rebels at this time.
Seeing that the general trend has gone, coupled with the flight of Pu Ming and Sha Yuan and others. The rebels had no intention of fighting, and finally people began to surrender on their knees.
"Surrender or kill!"
The soldiers who climbed the city walls took the opportunity to shout.
More and more people threw away their weapons and fell to their knees.
The two men quickly took control of the situation and opened the city gates. Soldiers from outside the city swarmed in and completely occupied Shiping.
"Didn't find Sha Yuan's father and son and Pu Ming?" Inside the yamen in the city, Qin Liangyu asked with a frown.
"Yes, Mother. It was as if they had disappeared into thin air, and the soldiers under their command did not know where they had gone. ”
"Find! They searched from house to house, and if they were to escape, it would be difficult to catch them again. ”
"Yes, Mother."
The soldiers in the city went door to door to search for the traces of Pu Mingming and others. In the river outside the city, the three of them were suffering mosquito bites with their heads bared in the water.
In broad daylight, they did not dare to move, for fear of being discovered. Only the head is hidden in the grass by the river.
