Chapter 66: Impact
On the outskirts of Chunhua City, the crowds are like the sea, and the mountains are full of crowded heads.
Countless chaotic flags stand in all directions, waving flags and hunting under the strong wind.
Spears and spears are like forests, the sea of people is surging, and the vastness is like the water of eight and nine wilds!
The first shot of the black Daxu is eye-catching.
The flag is eight feet high, and the pole is tied with a tasseled pheasant tail, and a bright yellow trumpet belt with a foot of eight feet and five inches is tied.
The flag is square, with black as the base, bright yellow as the edge, and the flag is embroidered with a big white "Chuang" word in the middle.
Under the black curtain, Li Zicheng was wearing a narrow-sleeved cloud-shouldered embroidered robe, covered with a long armor with a bright silver placket, a belt around his waist, a sword and a bow, and sat upright on the lookout.
Under the lookout, there were samurai wearing red border army armor, and a group of military academies wearing fish scale armor stood around Li Zicheng.
In the first battle of Sanshui City, Zhang Waijia died, most of the Liao soldiers were defeated, and almost all the armor soldiers were obtained by Li Zicheng.
Li Guo, Gao Jie, Liu Zongmin, Gao Yigong and others lined up the school on both sides.
Under the city of Chunhua, the sound of the horn is undulating and enduring.
"Woo——————"
In the next moment, the crowd outside Chunhua City also moved.
A number of simple ladders rose and fell in the crowd, and a large number of hungry soldiers in ragged clothes and holding various blades swarmed towards Chunhua City under the leadership and urging of the old soldiers.
"Break the city and open the official warehouse!!"
"Kill the officers and soldiers!!"
Countless hungry soldiers gathered together, forming an endless stream of people.
The tide was surging, making a roaring sound like thunder, setting off a huge wave, and slamming towards Chunhua City!
Chen Wang stood behind the battlements of the city tower, calmly looking at the surging army of hungry soldiers.
Chen Wang's heartbeat slowly quickened slightly, but his mind was still extremely clear and not affected too much.
He had seen this scene countless times, and the rapid beating of his heart and the trembling of his body were not all due to fear, but more to the instinctive reaction of his body before the battle.
"Bang! Boom! Boom!!! ”
The special sound of the cannon that belonged to Furlong roared above the walls of Chunhua City.
A large amount of gunpowder smoke slowly rose from the city wall, and the cannons that were propelled out by the gunpowder fired fiercely into the starving array with a sharp whistling sound.
After all, the Franc cannon is not a Hongyi cannon, it is relatively much less powerful and has a much shorter range, but once it hits, it is enough to penetrate everyone.
Although most of the Ming troops who operated the artillery were half-hanging, the hungry soldiers outside the city were surging with black pressure, and they didn't need to calculate any distance or calibrate any artillery, as long as the cannon was fired, it could be hit.
Clouds of blood exploded from the starving army's formation, but even though it dissipated, it was once again overwhelmed by the hungry soldiers who came after.
But compared to the starving army with nearly 10,000 troops, everything did not have much impact.
The bombardment of more than 20 Franc machine guns on the Chunhua city wall did not even make much waves, and it was already back to normal.
Soon, the hungry soldiers had swarmed under the walls of Chunhua, and countless ladders were erected.
One after another, the hungry soldiers climbed upwards with tattered shields or daggers.
The shouts of slaughter from below were deafening and resounded through the sky, and the only thing they could respond to was the rising smoke of gunpowder, the dull sound of guns, and the sharp sound of arrows breaking through the air.
One by one, the rolling stones and logs were thrown from the city walls.
The wails of slander, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, and the cries of anger echoed in the ears of the people.
Looking down from the clouds in the sky, there seemed to be countless dense ants attached to the western wall of Chunhua City.
Chen Wang didn't make any moves, he had already delegated the command to Tang Shiping and Hu Zhili, as well as Luo Guizhong.
This wave of attacks by the rogues was just a temptation, and most of the troops dispatched were hungry soldiers.
Although their routines have changed, they are generally the same as before, with horse troops on both flanks and old bandits in the middle.
It's just that the last ones to press the formation are no longer ordinary infantry teams and elite cavalry.
On the top of the city tower, Chen Wang could see clearly, most of those infantry teams were holding three-eyed guns in their hands, and there were many Franco cannons behind them.
There was also a tiger squat cannon placed in front of the formation, obviously to guard against the impact, except for the lack of rockets, all the other arrangements were the same as when he had fought behind the mountain hall.
Chen Wang's eyes were slightly condensed, he had heard the news that Zhang Waijia had been frustrated in the battle when he went out of the city, and then retreated to the city.
Zhao Huailiang stood aside and said in a low voice.
"Zhang Shuai led us to attack the army formation outside Sanshui City, and the army was arranged like this."
"At the beginning, when we were attacking the city, we stepped out of the city and killed their hungry soldiers."
Zhao Huailiang pointed to the hungry soldiers swarming under the city and continued.
"We drove the rout to attack its formation, but suddenly we heard a few explosions, and then many of the rout fell to the ground, and the rest did not dare to go forward, either backwards or fled to both sides."
"Although there was no rout, Zhang Shuai saw that the enemy's firearms team had no gun array protection, so he rushed straight away with us."
"Results ......"
Zhao Huailiang's voice was a little lower.
"The sound of guns in front of the army formation was like bursting beans, and it didn't sound all the time, and no one from the sentry cavalry sent by Zhang Shuai rushed over......"
Zhao Huailiang's eyes were slightly red, and his hands trembled slightly.
Chen Wang's expression was slightly gloomy, and he couldn't see clearly the weapons in the hands of those infantry teams from a long distance.
"When you were in the back, did you see what firearms they were holding and how they hit them?"
Zhao Huailiang pondered for a while, and then replied.
"Three-eyed gun...... They seemed to have three-eyed guns, no birds, no other firearms. ”
"I didn't see how they fought, but their military formation was very strange, they basically didn't move, the people in the front kept squatting on the ground, and there was something behind them."
Chen Wang pressed the Yanling knife on his waist and lowered his head.
Zhao Huailiang's words allowed him to get several key information.
The army did not use a bird gun, but basically a three-eyed gun.
The three-eyed gun has a short range, but it can fire three shots in a burst in an instant, and the instantaneous fire coverage is indeed stronger.
And it doesn't seem to be the same way he used to shoot backwards, but has made some improvements according to the situation.
The firearms tactics used by the infantry should be that the soldiers in the first row are responsible for firing the three-eyed guns, and after firing them, they are handed to the people behind.
Then the man in the back row handed over another three-eyed gun and handed it to firing.
All the shots were fired by the gunners of the first platoon, and the followers only needed to charge.
"After killing and wounding a sentry of soldiers and horses, we collected our troops and returned to the city."
"After that, he has been assisting in defending the city, until the city was finally broken by Neiying."
Chen Wang's expression was dark, and he looked at the large array of troops outside the city.
Guarding Sanshui, Zhang Waijia's decisions are not a problem.
Unable to take advantage of the situation to disrupt the enemy's infantry team, holding on to the city is indeed the best way.
And at that time, Zhang Waijia's task was only to defend Sanshui City, the enemy was a hard bone, and there was no need to gnaw on it again.
