"Ah, it's hit again." Ma Chengfei exaggeratedly shouted, "Little Wuzi, it's not bad luck!" ”
You're lucky, your whole family is lucky. I'm not a little five!
Ma Wu and Ma Chengfei are also familiar with each other, and they know that this guy is just a mouthful, but he is also a bold man. He cursed in his heart and drew his arrow again to find the target.
Rumble! Not far away, the sound of cannons rang out in the city, and the cannonballs smashed into Jiannu diagonally at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the shield bearers and archers put down three or four.
Ma Chengfei made a strange sound, aiming at nothing, let's find a target again!
"Mighty, Wansheng!" "Wan Sheng, mighty!" "Kill, kill, kill!"
There was a burst of shouts above and below the city, whether it was to strengthen the courage or to boost morale, shouting out the knots in the chest can indeed make people feel refreshed and increase their strength sharply.
The banner was hunting and fluttering in the wind, and the old slave was surrounded by the generals, watching the progress of the siege from afar.
The guards are very methodical and well arranged—and they are also very immoral! To be able to take advantage of the cold weather to such an extent, the lord of the city will be a talent!
The old slave was expressionless and seemed to be calm, but his heart was churning, and he was even distressed.
Using the cover of the city walls, there are many additional facilities, such as hanging cards, etc., and the defenders have a clear advantage. The casualty ratio of both sides was also undoubtedly in favor of the defenders.
But siege is like that, and there are very few examples of how less wins more.
The tall city walls have flattened the gap in the combat power of the soldiers on both sides, and a common man throwing stones on the city will also cause the battle-hardened warriors under the city to bleed to the ground, or even lose their lives.
The enemy's tricks are far more than that, the old slave looked at the strange city in the distance and frowned.
Huang Taiji sighed silently, this city is not easy to attack! The enemy was well prepared and well defended, beyond what he had anticipated after yesterday's reconnaissance.
The most important thing is that the defenders do not appear to be flustered in the face of the fierce onslaught. The few arrows that were shot from the city can be seen.
Fighting with bows and arrows, even in the city, the warriors of Jianzhou are superior. But the defenders did not do this, except for knowing that they were invincible, there was only one explanation, the army was not confused, and they were confident.
What is the situation in the city, Huang Taiji can't see, but the casualties are greater than his own, that's for sure.
But it is not feasible not to send archers to suppress it, and to leave the shield cart exposed to enemy blows.
Only when the obstacles are cleared, the city wall is approached, the lookouts and tower ladders are pushed up, and the cloud ladders are set up, which is the time to test the martial arts skills of both sides.
At that time, the warriors of our Jianzhou will inevitably have the upper hand, will inevitably be able to climb to the top of the city, and will definitely be able to break through the city.
Huang Taiji gritted his teeth, cheered himself up, and regained his confidence in victory.
On the city, under the cover of shields, groups of archers quietly ascended the city, hiding behind the battlements, drawing arrows in hand, waiting for the officer's order.
"Maximum bow power, throw five arrows!" The officer peered down into the city, estimating the distance, and commanded loudly.
"Maximum bow power, throw five arrows!" The order was constantly repeated by the petty officer, conveyed to the ears of every archer.
Wait a little longer, it's coming, it's coming.
The officer looked at the Jiannu who were holding their bows and arrows behind the shield carts and shields, watched their movements, counted the arrows they shot, and observed the archers who were waiting to be replaced dozens of meters behind.
Archers have limited strength, and generally speaking, if they shoot seven or eight arrows or more than ten arrows in a row, their arms will be sore and they will be exhausted.
In contrast, muskets, although cumbersome to reload and slow to fire, required less force. And the training time is short, three to five months can be proficient, less than the training of archers one or more years.
So, there is a reason why muskets finally eliminated bows and arrows. The requirements for physical fitness are low, and they can explode soldiers!
"Ready, ready!" When the officer saw that the enemy was showing fatigue and it was time to change shifts, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and reminded loudly.
The archer places the arrow on the string and adjusts his position so that he can shoot as fast as he can.
The golden drum sounded, and the Jiannu archers retracted their bows and retreated, showing fatigue. The archers of the rear team quickly moved forward, ready to replace.
Just when Jiannu's two teams of archers were about to stagger, the Ming army officers in the city had already shouted, "Get up and release the arrows!" ”
The archers of the Ming army immediately got up, and when they straightened their waists, the bows were full, and the arrows were pointed at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and the arrows were loosely released.
The blackened arrows swept through the sky like locusts, and the sunlight shone brightly.
"Be careful!" In the exclamation of hiss, the arrows had already been shot several times.
In the sound of the terrible popping into the flesh, screams, wails, and exclamations came and went. Arrows kept coming, and clusters were pouring down like a torrential rain.
The five rounds of all-out firing made the Ming archers blush and panting, and the Jiannu archers, who were caught off guard, suffered heavy casualties and confusion under this sudden and violent blow.
This- the old slave narrowed his eyes, clenched his fists in hatred, and his nails dug into his palms.
Huang Taiji pursed the corners of his mouth, and the surprise on his face quickly dissipated.
Who the hell is the defender in the city, so bad! However, he is quite a great guy who can grasp the moment keenly.
After the city is broken, we have to see where it is sacred, hiding in this city of Quang Ninh without revealing the mountains and waters.
Wang Huazhen? Impossible, never. Even if there can be a bit of conspiracy, the grasp of this fighter plane is by no means something that can be mastered overnight.
Suddenly, suddenly! Mang Gurtai's war horse snorted, like this reckless man, as if he was spitting out the depressed and angry anger in his chest.
The messy obstacles that were frozen on the ground made Jiannu spend a lot of effort and pay a lot of casualties, but it was finally cleaned up.
The horn sounded, and the spirits of the old slave and the others were also lifted, and the general attack finally began.
The watchtowers and towers and ladders are like monsters, bulky and vicious, slowly pushing towards the city wall. The siege troops carry ladders and follow behind the monsters.
At the head of the city, Xiong Tingbi narrowed his eyes, constantly giving orders, arranging and mobilizing.
Those who wear armor and those who hold shields, a team of Ming troops guard their posts; The gunners reloaded, and the defenders set up their huge arrows, ready to deal a heavy blow to the invading enemy.
It's close, it's close!
This time, Jiannu put on an inevitable posture, and the number of towers and watchtowers was several times more than that of the first tentative siege.
Coupled with the siege troops of the black press, countless hook ladders and cloud ladders, it really formed a momentum of black clouds crushing the city.
