Chapter 221: If you want to burn, burn it with pleasure
Yu Feng looked at the miserable situation under the city expressionlessly, and didn't notice that Chi Changqing beside him, the muscles on both sides of his cheeks were beating constantly, and the angular cheeks clearly showed how much self-control his master used to suppress the anger in his heart.
On the other side, Chen Minzhi's situation was even worse, his face was as pale as rice paper. A gust of wind blew from the opposite side, and the bloody qi that was as thick as substance made Chen Minzhi's chest and abdomen churn, and his legs under his robe were also trembling slightly in an unknown way. He dared to swear that he was definitely not afraid, it was just the instinctive reaction of this body that lacked much training.
Drunk to pick up the lamp to see the sword, the autumn soldiers on the battlefield! This kind of artistic conception, he has been yearning for many years, just when the bloody scene is presented in front of him, he finds that he is really not suitable for this battlefield, perhaps, to do the work of accompanying the coach to strategize, for him, it is more suitable.
"Let the people of the craftsman camp quickly fill in the swarm, tell the people on the other city walls, use it as appropriate, we don't know how long these Tartars plan to surround us, the more things in our hands, the more steady!"
On the other side, Dorgon frowned as he watched his men pull arrows from one of the people.
What kind of device is this, and how is it possible to fire so many arrows at once in such a short time? Dolgon didn't believe that there were tens of thousands of Korean archers hidden behind the walls, but if there were only a few archers, even if they had broken their fingers, they would not have been able to shoot so many arrows in such a short time.
This only proves that this is a kind of instrument, which is fired by the power of the machine spring, and for the nomads who have lived on horseback for a long time, this weapon is undoubtedly more dangerous than the cannon. Although the cannon is sharp, it can "mess up for miles" when it is bombarded out, but the shortcomings of the cannon's bulkiness and not easy to transport are also visible to everyone, which is also destined to play a certain role only when the cannon is placed on the city wall. As the besieging side, as long as you avoid the landing point of the cannonball, or even simply bypass the other side of the cannon, the threat of this cannon is nothing at all. At this time, the artillery relied on projectiles to kill the enemy, but there was no such thing as flowering bullets.
However, in the face of this dense equipment that can throw a large number of arrows in an instant, no matter how brave and witty the knight is, it is inevitable that the rain of arrows falling from the sky covers an entire area, and in this area, whether it is your general or a pawn, there will be no second end. If Dorgon had the opportunity to ask Yu Feng this question, Yu Feng would have told him that this was called a "carpet saturation attack" and that it was a tactic invented by a great power, and although it was a bit of a bad use of money, it was very effective. It's a pity that at the moment, no one can solve his doubts, and he can only bury this doubt deep in his heart.
"Lord Wang, mark down and take people, and then rush again?" The person who took the initiative to ask for help, with a strange tone, Dolgon looked up and saw that it was Park Il-nam, the general of the Korean army, and now the general of North Korea Ning'ando of the Great Qing Dynasty.
"No, your people, I'll use it, it's a pity to waste it here!" Dolgon understood what this guy meant, and his heart was even more contemptuous of him, this guy simply saw through his own mind, and wanted to use his men's lives to find out the reality of the other party for himself, at least, to figure out whether the other party's tactic of suddenly firing a large number of arrows was occasional or continuous.
From the perspective of a superior person, Park Il-nam's behavior should be a model for figuring out his intentions and is worth encouraging. However, from a deeper level, his behavior is very chilling. Just to please the superiors, the lives of his subordinates are regarded as grass mustard, such a person is too cold by nature.
Dorgon was a decisive man, but that was decisive against his enemies, not his subordinates. Park Il-nam's sycophancy not only did not bring him appreciation, but instead gained a lot of bad feelings.
Of course, there is a more important reason, Dolgon will not say it, after all, the thousands of people who have just been killed are all North Korean people, and at this moment, he will drive these North Korean soldiers who surrendered to death to death, I am afraid that these soldiers will immediately bomb the camp, they are not those unarmed people, although Dolgon has the confidence to deal with them, but at this moment, the enemy is present, he really does not want to play a big drama of "infighting" for the other party to enjoy.
"Let the Han army of the obedient king go to the city, as long as the cloud ladder is sent over, they will be considered meritorious!" Dolgon said to the herald's own soldiers, "Tell them that as long as the ladder is erected on the wall, I will reward him with a future!" ”
The so-called siege of the city, which means about the equivalent of a feint, is roughly to make the momentum and lively, but in fact does not have much strategic purpose of the siege, of course, if the situation is favorable, this siege becomes a siege, it is not known. However, at the moment, Dolgon's meaning is obvious, the Han army attacked the city, and the rear team sent the ladder to the side of the city wall, anyway, although the moat was not completely filled, the mud and rubble and the corpses of the Korean people who died in the moat, it was not a particularly difficult thing for the soldiers to cross the moat.
As long as the ladder is erected, the soldiers behind can climb up the ladder to the top of the city and fight the soldiers defending the city, and Dolgon believes that with the combat power of the Manchurian warriors, even if these Korean soldiers are so-called "elite soldiers", they will definitely not be their opponents.
A group of foot soldiers slowly walked out of the camp, Yu Feng stood at the head of the city and watched the movements of the other party, he could even see the generals of those foot soldiers through the clairvoyant mirror, slapping the soldiers who were a little sluggish with their scabbards, driving them forward.
The tall ladder in the camp was also pushed forward by dozens of soldiers, slowly moving forward, and behind the ladder, there were teams of soldiers with knives and arrows, slowly moving forward with the ladder.
A hundred paces, two hundred paces, three hundred paces, as they approached the reed-like area, the soldiers all had a noticeable pause, and they wondered if the rain of arrows would only "swish" down from the sky again, but no matter how strong this desire to know was, they would not risk their lives to satisfy their curiosity.
Some soldiers walked cautiously, and even looked at the sky while walking, obviously, they were fighting the idea of running away as soon as they saw the movement, but fortunately, they went all the way to the edge of the moat, this rain of arrows that broke the sky still did not come, seeing that there was not much danger, their courage suddenly grew, as long as they crossed the moat and went to the root of the city wall, it would be safe, even if the musketeers and shooters on the city wall dared to lean out and shoot at them, but, They don't, and cowhide shields don't. This thing, the knife is just a white mark, and it is rare to be afraid of a few grains of iron.
There were gunshots on the city wall, disorganized, but very effective, the sharp-eyed Han soldiers could even see the Korean musketeers on the city, and put the firearms out of the battlements, and they didn't want anything at all, and they didn't even look at whether the projectiles they shot hit the target, and after the guns were released, they immediately shrank back like rabbits.
"Archers, hold on, hold down, their artillery can't kill anyone!" One of the generals of the Han army shouted loudly, there were gunshots everywhere, and there were stray bullets everywhere, but in fact, except for some unlucky people who were knocked to the ground by stray bullets, the casualties of these Han soldiers were not large.
And the archers in the Han army, the marksmen, soon found a feeling, not to mention the rabbit soldiers who hid in the city wall after putting their guns, but those who were bold and dared to lean out and shoot at the root of the city wall became their best targets, often the guns in the opponent's hands have not yet fired, and their arrows have been pierced into the necks and chests of these gunners.
The defenders on the city wall were shot down one after another, and the morale of the Han soldiers was even stronger, not only did the rear team speed up and rush under the city wall, but the soldiers who worked hard to push the ladder were obviously also inspired, and the speed of the ladder suddenly became a few points faster than before.
"Haven't you reloaded?" Yu Feng asked loudly.
"Back to the adult, the people in the craftsman camp said that at least two pillars of incense will be needed!" A pro-soldier had just come running from behind the city wall when he heard Yu Feng ask and replied loudly.
Yu Feng nodded, a swarm of bees is huge, but the loading is a little slow, and it will be lost after shooting, that is the practice in the field, right now in Pyongyang, but there are not so many swarms of bees to supply him with luxury, ask, he just expressed concern, in fact, the situation in front of him, a swarm of bees except to cut off the enemy's rear army, has not played much of a lethal role, most of the enemy army, gathered under the city wall, waiting for those ladders to come.
"My lord, do you want to release ten thousand enemies, the opportunity is fleeting now!" Chen Minzhi reminded softly that in fact, the timing of his speech now is very inappropriate, interfering with the will of the boss on the battlefield, even if he is immediately dragged down and cut down, no one will be wronged for him.
"Wait a little longer!" Yu Feng turned his head, his eyes were shining, like an unfathomable pool of water.
"It's better, Toshiyuki!" He smiled, as if comforting Chen Minzhi, and as if laughing at himself: "The first time I went into battle to fight, I vomited for half an hour, Minzhi, you are just a little bad breath, much stronger than me at the beginning!" ”
"I didn't go into battle, I just watched you fight!" Chen Minzhi muttered secretly in his heart, with his intelligence, he couldn't even hear whether there was more comfort or ridicule in Yu Feng's words.
"This Dorgon has come from afar and made so many big torches, we can't help but appreciate it!" Yu Feng pointed to the slowly approaching ladders, "If you want to burn, you naturally have to burn it happily!" ”
"Order the troops, once the cloud ladder leans against the city wall, immediately set fire to all the 10,000 enemies on the city wall and throw them down, all of them, not a single one will be left!"
