Chapter 108: Collapse
Under the cover of the shield carts, the armor of the front team soon arrived at the camp set up at the foot of the mountain.
Just as he approached the barracks, Chen Gong could already smell the unpleasant smell of blood in the air.
No one was seen above the camp walls, and no noise was heard.
The rammed cart that followed behind the shield cart was pushed in front of the gate without any hindrance.
The huge crashing wood slammed into the wooden gate and broke out with a loud noise.
There were only five sounds, and the wooden gate of the Liukou camp was already shattered.
A group of armor soldiers wearing heavy armor stood on both sides of the crash car and followed the crash car to take another step, their expressions calm and indifferent.
The comrades who had climbed the wall ahead of the city had already told them the actual situation, and the entire camp at the foot of the mountain had been abandoned by the rogues.
Passing through the gate, they could also see the rogues who were fleeing in embarrassment along the mountain road with their backs to them.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom !!"
A loud roar rang out again.
Chen Gong, who had just passed through the gate of the village, felt the unstoppable buzzing in his ears, and he looked back not far behind him, only to see several puffs of gunpowder rising in the big array.
The fire cannon in the army, which had just been silent for a short time, roared again.
In the deafening sound of cannonballs, the huge projectile flew a distance of nearly a mile, and smashed into the camp of the rogue on the mountainside and the top of the mountain under the gaze of everyone.
"First shot."
Chen Gong turned his head and muttered in a low voice, then raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist.
The herald behind him understood the order and immediately blew the horn to stop the march.
All the armor soldiers stopped one after another, sitting or standing, and seized all this time to rest.
According to the predetermined plan, the eight guns would fire four more rounds of shelling to establish an even greater advantage for them, and now it was their time to rest.
For fear of accidentally injuring the friendly troops at the foot of the mountain, the eight guns of the artillery position at the foot of the mountain raised the elevation angle of the shells much higher, so many of the shells fell on the camp of the rogue at the top of the mountain, not on the campside of the mountain.
A group of vanguard armor soldiers were resting, but the light soldiers behind them did not have time to rest.
A group of light soldiers who followed him, under the leadership of their respective military schools, quickly entered the camp of the original rogue and began to build defensive fortifications.
One after another, tiger squat guns and Furlong machines were erected, and one light soldier after another walked to the position of arming.
Later, the golden armor soldiers often carried a large number of light soldiers with them, and the duty of these light soldiers was to provide assistance to the armor soldiers and expand the advantage of the battle situation.
During the siege, they also took on the responsibility of quickly building new positions to prevent the enemy from retaking them.
The military academy that led these light soldiers was Hu Zhili, and the senior officers in the recruit camp were all under the command of Cao Wenzhao, who came with them at the beginning, so although Hu Zhili was nominally the battalion general of the recruit battalion, he had to personally lead the troops into battle.
After about a quarter of an hour, the fire cannons under the hill finally stopped shelling.
Chen Gong slowly stood up, and all the armor soldiers also got up one after another, and none of them delayed.
The sound of swans in the army sounded again, and the car crashed ahead, and more than 30 shield cars slowly drove forward along the mountain road.
Chen Gong steadied his breathing, holding the long bow in his hand, silently reciting the number of steps in his heart, he showed his head and carefully observed the camp of the rogue not far ahead.
As the distance continued to approach, Chen Gong's heart gradually rose, he could already see the rogues running back and forth on the wall, and he could also see the muzzles of the black holes.
This time it was no longer an empty camp that awaited them.
Four rounds of artillery bombardment from the bottom of the mountain did not defeat the garrison of the rogues, who still had the strength to fight.
"Hide!"
Chen Gong's whole body trembled as if he had been electrocuted, his hairs stood up, his mouth and tongue were numb, and he only had time to say a word of dodge.
A group of armored soldiers had already hidden their bodies behind the shield car, and after hearing the word dodge, they subconsciously moved closer to the side of the shield car.
Chen Gong lowered his head and hid behind the shield car, and before he could think about it, a huge explosion had suddenly swept in.
Chen Gong saw the shield cart in front of him shake suddenly, as if someone was holding a heavy hammer and slamming it fiercely.
The face of the armored soldier pushing the shield cart changed significantly, and his body unconsciously leaned back.
Chen Gong raised his head slightly, he did not poke his head out of the car, but looked at the sky in front of him.
Above the sky, Chen Gong saw a large amount of white smoke rising up, followed by a popping sound like fried beans exploding in his ears.
Accompanied by the sound of fried beans, there were bursts of sharp sounds of breaking the air.
The sound of breaking the air was sandwiched between the explosions, which was extremely inconspicuous, but Chen Gong still keenly captured the different sounds.
The sound of roasting beans is the sound of firecrackers, the sound of popping is the sound of a Francophone or a tiger squatting cannon, and the sound of breaking the air is the sound of a bow and arrow.
At this time, Chen Gong had no hesitation or hesitation on his face, and he had completely calmed down.
On the battlefield, there is no way for those who cannot maintain their calm to survive the long battle formation.
Chen Gong clasped the strings and arrows, carefully discerning the ringing in his ears.
On such a battlefield, behind the shield cart, when to open the bow and when to release the arrow can only rely on experience to judge by yourself, and those Houjin soldiers are like this.
Chen Gong didn't wait long, the sound of guns in his ears had already dissipated, although the Franc machine fired quickly, but the rogue had no fixed place, and there were not many guns to squander.
After a few breaths, the sound of the cannon had obviously gradually subsided.
Chen Gong did not hesitate, his hands exerted force, and the long bow in his hand was already pulled to the full moon in an instant.
As a family member, they all have two bows, one is the Kaiyuan bow, which is often referred to as the soft bow, which is used for riding the bow on horses.
The other bow is a long-tip bow, which is the same as the bow used by the Houjin soldiers, which is a hard bow and is used in foot combat, and a hard bow and heavy arrows are used to break armor.
While the shield cart was still advancing, Chen Gong stopped, clamped the tail of the arrow to the tiger's mouth, and used the thumb of his right hand wearing a leopard bone (wrench) to clasp the bowstring, and pressed his index and middle fingers against the thumb.
The traditional Chinese method of pulling the string and opening the bow is different from the European way of pulling the string with the index finger and middle finger, but wears a chisel on the thumb, which is what later generations called boardboard, and then uses a wrench to pull the bowstring.
The shield cart moved forward a little further, and Chen Gong also spotted his target, a man wearing border armor and a high-topped helmet that clearly looked like a military general was standing next to a Franc cannon and shouting something.
The surrounding armor soldiers all buckled their strings and arrows, and also began to slowly pull the bowstrings.
The bowstring was pulled apart, and the bamboo tire of the bow body kept creaking.
Without any hesitation, Chen Gong suddenly let go of the fingers that were holding the strings.
The bowstring is drawn along the smooth surface of the leopard's bone, and the energy accumulated on the bamboo tire is instantly released on the tail of the arrow.
The terrifying sound of the bowstring vibrating suddenly appeared in everyone's ears.
The heavy arrow was pushed by the bowstring, and the arrow shaft made of birch wood was slightly twisted in the air because of the huge force, and the sound of breaking the air suddenly sounded, and it only happened in an instant that it spread throughout the entire shield car array.
At a distance of only forty paces, it was the fish-scale iron armor worn by the Ming army generals, and there was no way to resist the powerful long tip gong shooting heavy arrows with armor-piercing cones at close range, not to mention the cloth armor worn by ordinary Ming soldiers.
The Liukou Military Academy, who was shouting something, seemed to feel something, looked at the outside of the village, and also made a dodge move.
But the arrow shot by Chen Gong was as fast as a meteor catching the moon, and the rogue military academy only had time to move a little before an arrow pierced the chest, and he was already planted on the ground.
The military academy was killed in battle, and that section of the wall instantly became panicked.
In addition to the battle array, the role of military schools is also an important factor in determining victory or defeat.
Just after Chen Gong shot an arrow, the Liao cavalry behind the shield cart also shot the arrows in their hands one after another.
The bowstring vibrated incessantly, echoing in everyone's ears.
Arrow after arrow rain shot from behind or from the sides of the shield cart, in exchange for one scream after another.
"Cart, Attack !!"
Chen Gong shot an arrow again, and roared angrily to issue a new military order.
Military orders on the battlefield are never too lengthy, and they can be as concise as they can be.
When an army suddenly suffers a large number of casualties, morale is bound to be greatly affected.
And if there are more dead and wounded in the military academy, then the army will most likely collapse.
The current Liukou is such a situation, the armor soldiers behind the shield chariot are carefully selected, and the selected people are all good hands in the army, and their bow skills are even better than those of the Mongols.
The Ming army and the Mongols have fought for many years, and compared to archery and horsemanship, the border army in the north is really not much worse.
A large number of military schools died in battle, without the command of the military academy, without the armor soldiers to supervise the battle, whether it was the archers and gunmen on the wall, or the pikemen and sword and shield soldiers behind the wall, they were all panicked.
And the collision of the Ming army was under various circumstances, and it was already pushed to the second gate of the wall.
"Bang!!"
A loud bang rang out.
Under the cover of bows and arrows, the light soldiers of the Ming army stepped on the rapid drum beat and launched an attack on the second camp wall.
Among the light soldiers of the Ming army, there are many Ming soldiers wearing heavy armor mixed in, and they play the role of sharp knives.
One after another ladders hooked the low camp wall, and as the light soldiers of the Ming army continued to pour into the camp, the second line of defense laid by the Liukou was officially declared to collapse.
At the same time, the car crashed into the gate of the second camp, and the Ming soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding sharp blades poured into the camp.
The rogues guarding the gate of the village, many of them are even armed with wooden guns and farm tools, and they can't even break the armor, so how can they stop the progress of the Ming army.
