Chapter 688: The First Battle of Expanding the Territory!
Full Speed didn't buy much time.
That is, on the third day after leaving, the people had not returned, and the Ming army first besieged the city, and then began to attack the city.
The siege began in the morning.
The familiar sound of drums sounded again, and the stone city immediately became agitated, and Man Suer climbed the tower accompanied by his generals.
When he opened his eyes, he almost fainted.
He pointed to towering cars on wheels in the shape of seats and asked, "What's that?!" ”
Ya Mulan breathed heavily, and said: "That is called the siege tower, which is a special instrument used by the Ming army to siege the city, and the four huge wheels below can be pushed by manpower, and there are four layers on the wheels, and there are soldiers hiding in each layer!" ”
"The Ming army actually has such a strange thing?"
The so-called siege towers were already used when the Tang army had conquered Gaochang before.
Soldiers hide inside to avoid arrows, which can significantly reduce the casualty rate compared to ladders.
This kind of thing, for the current Ming Dynasty, there is no technical difficulty, because most of them are wooden structures, but it is more expensive, after all, not only craftsmen and wood are needed, but also later maintenance, as well as a certain number of construction, otherwise it is meaningless to take out three or five.
"Sutan, the Ming army is too unusual this time, they have a food called dried sweet potatoes, which can be carried around. Plus these siege equipment...... We have to plan ahead. ”
Man Suer was a little unconvinced, "How many people are this?" ”
"This attack, about one guard, more than 5,000 people."
"More than 5,000 people dare to surround us and attack the city?! We have 10,000 people here! ”
Originally, he had 25,000 troops, but he had already withdrawn the main force, and even if he had to fight to the death, it was impossible to fight to the death in such a small castle.
Even so, it's an insult.
But the voice has not yet fallen.
There was another loud noise between heaven and earth, and then I saw a huge black ball flying from the sky, looking up at full speed, watching it draw a parabola, watching it fall, and then there was a 'boom'!
The sawdust of the house and the flesh and bones of the human body all exploded in an instant!
"What's that?!"
On the side of the Ming army.
Ma Rong can also be regarded as experiencing the power of a Shenji camp firearm back then.
The general who fired the cannon was also very happy, and said to him: "General! This artillery is really a siege weapon! ”
"Keep put!" Ma Rong grabbed the reins, "Let them taste the power of this Hongyi cannon!" ”
"Yes!"
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Another salvo.
There are only three cannons, and the distance is too long, and it is not easy to bring them over.
But it should work well.
Even if you don't blow it up, you have to scare this group of people to death.
"Drumming! Drumming! ”
The sound of drums urged the soldiers full of fighting spirit to move forward, and dozens of siege towers were pushed over by the city wall to the west of this small stone city, and the strangulation on the city wall was certainly inevitable.
Flesh and blood confronted each other with scimitars and spears, and the Ming army threw themselves on the city walls like a devil who did not want to die.
Weapons are one thing, but the most important thing is to have the courage to defeat all enemies!
Wu Yongfei and Ji Shan were back to back, the two of them were on the ruined city wall together, and in front of them were two teams of more than 20 Tulu soldiers, but they did not have the slightest fear, and stepped forward to slash and kill the enemy.
Ji Shan was quite brave, three or two spears stabbed him, and he pushed them away, slashing left and right to knock them to the ground.
After a few rounds, he didn't have a wound on his arm, but he never retreated, "Come on! Come on! ”
For the first time, the Turpan soldiers faced this kind of Ming army, and it seemed that everyone could be one as ten.
Not only that, but more enemies are constantly popping up from the towers.
This is a kind of momentum, and the temperament of the Tiger Army cannot be defeated.
Not only that, Ji Shan locked on a person who was obviously not dressed ordinarily and shouted, "Angkor, that Tartar official is going to run!" ”
"Where?!"
Wu Yongfei hurriedly asked after killing one.
Ji Shan was very anxious, grabbed an arrow from a corpse on the side, and opened his bow in a few breaths, without aiming carefully, anyway, let it out first.
The sound of breaking the air is extremely pleasant.
There is even the sound of entering the flesh.
Wu Yongfei slapped his thigh, "Someone blocked it, go!" Let's go after it! ”
"Wait for me!" Ji Shan doesn't care if he is injured or not, if he kills a big official, he will be rewarded with at least twenty taels of silver.
The chiefs all said that this time it was called a rich battle, and the food and drink were better than the previous ones.
Even if it is rewarded in the future, it will definitely be rewarded a lot.
This is on the one hand, and in addition, Hamiwei's brothers have also told them, these bastards, fucking bullying us Han people, this is unbearable.
Bang!!
Ma Rong commanded his generals and blasted open the broken door of the ruined city.
He was immediately overjoyed, and greeted his brothers with a spear, "The Ming cavalry is invincible!" The Ming cavalry is invincible!! ”
The soldiers had been bored for so many days, and their morale was already very high.
"Rush!!"
Ma Rong rode his own mount and rushed to the front, followed by a thousand elites, and the wind and sand raised seemed to be blind.
The war horses soon burst into the city, they were all brave men, the kind of awe-inspiring momentum that these people gathered together was simply intimidating, what if the troops were not superior?
It's contagious.
When the Ming army rushed to the city, the generals who fired the artillery behind couldn't help it, anyway, they couldn't put it now, so as not to hurt their own people, so he also pulled a horse over, "Leave a few people to watch the cannons, and the rest of the people will rush with Lao Tzu!" ”
"The Ming army is invincible! The Ming army is invincible! ”
The soldiers shouted such slogans as they charged.
After Ma Rong arrived in the city, he first met the enemy army in a street, and at this time he had already killed the red eye, and he couldn't care so much, and with a wave of the spear, it was one word: kill!
……
"Report! General Ma Rong has led the attack into the city! ”
Zhou Shangwen showed a slight smile in front of everyone for the first time, and he snorted and said: "These guys think very beautifully, they can fight if they can fight, and if they can't fight, how can there be such a simple thing?" Ling Weifeng listened! ”
"The last general!"
"Order you to lead Hamiwei and three thousand households to bypass the city of Mustenda and lay an ambush on the road to the retreat of Manshal. Remember, don't chase after you to avoid an ambush. It is a small city, and his main force is definitely not here. ”
"Yes!"
"Ma Sheng listens to orders!"
"The last general!"
"Order you to lead the right guard of Suzhou to immediately enter the city to support, and anyone who holds a weapon and does not let go will be beheaded!"
"Yes!"
Zhou Shangwen himself also stood up, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first battle to expand the territory, more than ten years of training, more than two months of expedition, everything is for this moment, for the emperor, for the Ming Dynasty, and for ourselves, we must win!" ”
He gritted his teeth and said this viciously, and finally said again in a tone of emphasis that seemed to be unreasonable, "Remember, we must win!" ”
The man on the battlefield is to have this kind of ruthlessness, there is no reason to speak of, that is, to tell the enemy: this is mine, this is mine, that is also mine, you, either surrender or die!
The Ming army under Zhou Shangwen is also so ruthless!
"Take your orders and go!"
With a bang, the generals left the camp and each mounted his horse and took his troops away.
At this time, the Ming army was like a flood, and the small castle at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains was like duckweed that was swayed by the impact.
Everyone set off with the banner of the 'Ming' character of this horse victory department, and the battle armor gathered, forming a flowing momentum into the city.
They fought out of the sea of blood, climbed the city tower, and planted the Ming army flag.
Ma Rong was extremely excited when he saw this scene, and he couldn't help but read: "A hundred battles start with the border city merit, and you are not allowed to expel the cunning fox!" Today is the first battle to expand the territory! ”
