Chapter 318: Guardian of the Great Wall, Warrior of the Town
With the order of the governor Li Zong.
A swarm of brass-colored dragon heads lifted the gray gun suit, revealing a golden dragon head. As the fuse was ignited, more than forty tubes of mass killing weapons were aimed at the dense array of rebels.
"Whoosh!"
A much louder hissing sounded like a monkey, and the first arrow shot out towards the crowd.
"Whoosh! Sou! Whoosh!"
Without half a breath, it shot one after another, comparable to a short spear-like arrow, directly in the rebel crowd and spurted blood in a straight line of death.
An arrow filled with propellant charge is enough to pierce the bodies of ten people and continue to fly, even if it is blocked by armor, rattan cards, etc., it can penetrate as many as five or six people.
This is not counting rubbing against the arm, only to see a broken hand flying around, and another five or six enemy soldiers with their intestines pierced through their stomachs, and the screams and wails shook the heavens and the earth.
This is not enough, in addition to the propellant, the arrow also has an explosive or incendiary charge tied to the body of the arrow.
After a swarm of arrows was fired into the rebel crowd, this part was specially detonated or burned, and some who were lucky enough to not be shot were also injured or burned by flames.
The worst of them were the Bird Gunners in the rebels.
These guys carried arquebuses on their backs, and they wore gunpowder belts all over their bodies, and when they were burned by sparks, they turned into a flaming fireball.
Before dying, this fireball was running around and screaming, creating a huge panic and amazing visual effects, not to mention, because the formation was too crowded, it directly ignited the birds around him.
And so the amazing scene appeared.
A swarm of arrows can kill up to 10 people with each arrow, and only two or three if you're unlucky.
But the ignited bird gunner, from one fireball to nearly ten fireballs, and a dozen fireballs quickly became nearly a hundred.
Fireballs screamed and pounced on the people around them, killing and wounding countless rebels.
Guiyang city wall is lit up, the fire is dazzling, jumping up and down, running left and right, more dazzling than the sunset.
The morale of the defenders was greatly boosted, and the female soldiers under the city threw crossbow arrows and guns at the enemy troops in front of them, and the defenders on the city wall manipulated the sub-mother cannons, and bombed them wherever they were dense.
A few brave rebels rushed to the front of the car formation at the city gate, in a vain attempt to destroy the swarm of bees and harm the female soldiers with their brute force.
Governor Li Zheng shouted loudly, commanded the elite battalion soldiers to directly counterattack, and beat them to the ground.
After all, the rebels were a large number of miscellaneous soldiers, and when they encountered a critical attack of this magnitude, they quickly dispersed.
But the crowd was so dense that many of the wounded were pushed to the ground because they couldn't walk fast, and they stepped on them with big feet, trampling them to death.
There were also some people who were terrified, for fear that they would be shot by the Ming army if they ran slowly, so they drew their swords and frantically slashed at the accomplices who were blocking the way in front.
You kill me, I'll kill you; Corpses were everywhere and rivers of blood flowed.
In just a while, more than 1,000 people were killed, shot, and hacked to death by the Ming army, but there were more than 3,000 who were ignited by fireballs, pushed and trampled to death, and killed by each other.
Although the casualties only accounted for 10% of the total of 50,000 in the first round of attacks, the casualties were so shocking that the rest turned around and ran.
Many of them also discarded their weapons and armor for fear of being trampled to death if they ran slowly.
When An Bangyan saw it, he was not surprised at all.
"It's just a bunch of cannon fodder, just a few people share the property~"
An Bangyan's henchmen also thought so, most of the dead were the recruits from Shuixi, the soldiers and horses of the small and medium-sized Tusi, and the strong men pulled in from various villages, towns and villages, and it was better to save a lot of people to share Guiyang's property if they died.
Their thinking is inferior to that of the peasant army after them, but the same thing is that the elite veterans in their hands are just like the old battalion of the peasant army, and if the core is alive, they still have combat power.
"A swarm of bees is very expensive in itself, and it will take an hour to reload, and when the cannon fodder stabilizes, force them to go up again with a knife."
An Bangyan's eyes were full of fierce light, and he knew that at this time, there was only one way to kill.
"When the cannon fodder entangled the two city gates, the main infantry used to be long
Ladder straight up to the city."
"Yes!"
His henchmen and generals all laughed cruelly, the attention of the Ming army was on the city gate, there were no more elite guards on the city wall, there were more than 10,000 main infantry, and it was too easy to take the city wall.
As long as the city wall is captured, the two south gates can be easily conquered from the inside. When the time comes, Li Zheng and the elite of the Ming army who will go out of the city will not be able to escape death even if they have wings~
Suddenly the clouds were thick, and the night wind suddenly rose, and I was afraid that it was not about to rain.
An Bangyan was in a very good mood, once it rained heavily, the effect of the Ming army's firearms was greatly reduced.
However, when it rains, the walls are slippery and not conducive to climbing.
Therefore, before the heavy rain, the city wall should be taken directly, and then it rained, and the more the Ming army fought, the more they had no power to fight back.
"Prepare for a general attack quickly, and the same is true for the west and east of the city."
"Yes!"
After a moment of reorganization, it was actually An Bangyan's main force, killing hundreds of deserters with his sword, and then forcing the cannon fodder to attack again.
There are also some subordinate officials of An Bangyan, who play the role of "good guys", frantically painting cakes to encourage these cannon fodder, claiming that there are more than 100,000 people in Guiyang City, and each of them can be rich if they are robbed.
This time, knowing that there was no way out, the rebel miscellaneous soldiers attacked again with a fierce heart, bloodshot eyes, and abandoning everything.
In front of the two city gates, a swarm of bees had already been shot, and long-range arrows and guns could only kill and injure some enemies, but they could not stop their approaching footsteps.
The time has come for hand-to-hand combat.
The sunset had already set, and Wang Hongyu, who was on the city tower at night, had a decisive light in his eyes, and shouted fiercely: "Guards of the Great Wall, warriors of the town!"
"Guardians of the Great Wall, Warriors of the Towns!"
A neat recitation was repeated, and a torch was suddenly lit outside the two city gates.
Suddenly, the city gate and the chariot array were illuminated, as if it were daylight.
In the bright light of the fire, the town soldiers hidden behind the car formation and the battalion soldiers were dispatched.
I saw that the yellow resolute and thick mountain armor was illuminated by the firelight into a flash of golden yellow, striding past the dark red mandarin duck warriors, it looked unshakable, and majestic, a hundred times more majestic than the terracotta warriors.
The rebels who were charging were shocked, this was really afraid of something, the southwest Tusi had been living under the deterrence of the Great Wall of Miaojiang and the Zhenxiao soldiers for a long time, and now he had to face them directly.
Who knows when the Townsmen arrived? It can't be a divine soldier, right?
But you can't care so much, you will inevitably be beheaded if you retreat, and you may survive if you try your best!
"Ahh
The cannon fodder of the rebels howled and charged.
However, the soldiers of the town have long been accustomed to it, and they saw the over-armored wrestlers and halberders wielding their long weapons and smashing directly at the thieves.
The heavy Guan knife struck hard, directly slashing out one of the thieves with his hands, and the blade of the knife knocked the two thieves to the ground with a huge impact.
The halberd was not far behind, and with one smash and one stroke, the three thieves burst out of blood, and although they did not die immediately, they would definitely not survive tonight.
