Chapter 642: Rain Battle

Heavy rain was falling.

Yang Chengying stood in the tent, looking at the heavy rain, a little depressed.

It's annoying when it's raining, and it's even more annoying when and after it's raining.

It will directly make the roads muddy and difficult to transport grain and grass.

There were even flash floods.

The Liaodong Army was almost on the east bank, and the grain and grass transportation had to be transported from the west bank to the east bank.

Once there is a flash flood, then the cut off of food and grass is just around the corner.

It's really rain when you succeed, and it rains when you fail.

"After strategy, three cannons have been delivered, and they can be prepared to attack the city."

Jin Guochen was a little anxious, he looked at Yang Chengying's back, and said, "Delaying the time will only be detrimental to our army." ”

"Rain is also good."

Hu Hongxian's body was still covered with bandages, "It is not easy for the enemy to escape, but our army can calmly kill the enemy." ”

Unlike the cement or asphalt pavement of later generations, most of the roads are now dirt roads.

It is easy to form stagnant water on the road, and sometimes you can't pull out your feet when you step down.

Pull it out, congratulations, walk barefoot.

Thanks to the temporary pontoon bridge before the rain, three Kamui General Cannons were transported.

Three cannons, all placed under the canopy.

The muzzle of the gun is stuffed with dry clothes to prevent rainwater from entering the barrel.

"After a while, make up your mind."

Jin Guochen knew that the commander was worried that fighting in the rain would make the soldiers sick, "Compared with the defeat of the enemy and the possible defeat, some losses are the price that has to be paid." ”

"Every time a soldier goes on an expedition, if he doesn't succeed, he becomes a benevolent."

Hu Hongxian also got up, "Since ancient times, it is not a great achievement or a great defeat, and no one has a way out to fight here." ”

Speaking of this, Yang Chengying also had to make a decision: "If this is the case, then take the dangerous mountain fort in one go." ”

"Yes." The generals got up, saluted with fists, and left.

It was midday, and the rain was still falling, but much lighter than in the morning.

The soldiers were shirtless, and their wet clothes were worn on their bodies, but they were prone to illness.

But with the military order issued, all the soldiers were dressed and armoured.

Yang Chengying climbed halfway up the mountain with difficulty with a stick.

Through the heavy rain curtain, the soldiers on the dangerous mountain fort could already be seen moving, and they seemed to have realized that the Liaodong Army was about to attack the city.

They were carrying logs and stones.

Yang Cheng observed all this with a telescope and ordered: "Give the order, artillery salvo." ”

The flag bearer waved a large command flag.

"The gunner is in position!"

Four soldiers stepped forward, removed their clothes from the barrel, wrapped the cloth in a wooden stopper, and drilled into the barrel.

Check the cloth for moisture.

"One, no problem."

"No. 2 ......"

After listening to the report, the commander ordered the gun to be loaded.

The weight of the gunpowder has been prepared a long time ago, and it is only necessary to remove the packaging.

The lead and iron bullet were loaded and tamped with a push rod.

"Ignition!"

Syllable...... Syllable...... Syllable......!

Boom Boom!

Three iron bullets smashed on the earth city, directly smashing open the female wall.

The sound of artillery is also a signal.

Soldiers in armor, pushing carts made on the spot, appeared on the position leading to the dangerous mountain fort.

The border forts in eastern Liaoning, unlike those in western and southern Liaoning, can be dug without too much force.

Qinghe Fort and other big forts are still like this, not to mention the small dangerous mountain forts.

Yang Chengying covered his binoculars and saw that the chariot array had been arranged, followed by soldiers with pickaxes digging into the wall.

Another round of shelling.

The cannonball drew a parabola and smashed the dangerous mountain fort, destroying the shield and piercing the Houjin soldiers with the shield.

One shell missed, leaving only a crater in the city.

The rain is lighter.

The first commander drew his sword, and the tip of the knife moved forward: "Charge!" ”

"Kill!"

The soldier pushed the cart, leaving deep ruts in the ground, and forced it towards the dangerous mountain fort.

This time the siege was to encircle the city and leave only the southern city without fighting.

It leads to the Ai River, and you don't dare to go out of the city unless you want to take a bath.

The mountain rain is secluded.

The Guandi Temple, which was seated in the fort, silently watched ahead. Through the rain curtain, look at the battlefield where the shells are flying.

The Houjin soldiers could not resist the artillery, and the city wall was directly smashed into a large gap.

After that, before the Jin soldiers had time to fill the vacancy, the Liaodong army had already killed.

They used carts to defend against rolling wood and arrows, and pickaxes to dig the walls wider.

The soldiers in the back began to march, dressed in rain-soaked cotton armor, and rushed through the gap.

Seeing this, the Houjin army abandoned the rolling wood of the city and faced the Liaodong army that was rushing in at the gap.

At this point, in order to avoid harming friendly troops, the artillery fire stopped.

Everywhere there was the sound of fighting.

Yang Chengying was halfway up the mountain, watching the movement in the dangerous mountain fort, and found that the Houjin army had begun to retreat continuously.

But our army was also in an embarrassing situation, being shot by the enemy's bow and arrow in the city.

"What is Jin Guochen eating, he doesn't even have the ability to adapt to this idea?"

Yang Chengying was angry and hurriedly rushed down from the hillside.

One is careless, one foot is in the air, and he rolls down directly.

Ignoring the abrasions on his body, he picked up his bow and arrows and went up with his guards.

Under the cover of their shields, they fired a wave of fierce fire at the Houjin soldiers in the city, hitting one enemy after another in the face.

Some of the soldiers took advantage of the situation to climb the castle with ladders and fight the enemy troops in the city.

At every turn, soldiers on both sides fell from the walls.

With a creak, Yang Chengying's bow broke.

Jin Guochen, who was charging forward, only got out of his own phalanx in embarrassment at this time, and was trampled on several times, but fortunately he was not seriously injured.

He saw that the coach had a wound on his face, his clothes were torn, and he changed his bow and shouted: "It's all a command mistake by his subordinates!" ”

Without waiting for Jin Guochen to finish speaking, Yang Chengying shouted: "Don't talk nonsense! Hurriedly command the soldiers who ascended the city to compress the enemy's space. ”

"Yes!" Jin Guochen tidied up the armor on his body, carried a short knife, and also boarded the city gate.

Yang Chengying rushed in with the guards.

At the same time, Hu Hongxian, who was commanding in the rear, commanded the stretcher team to transport the wounded soldiers with all their might, lifting them from the ground and leading them to the rear.

People fell down again and again, got up again and again, and became clay figures.

The fighting in the fort continued.

The area inside is not large, and they have drawn their swords one after another, and they are close to each other.

The Houjin soldiers kept retreating.

Yang Chengying and his guards kept approaching, fighting for every inch of land next to the house, in the alley, and in the house.

When he encountered a suitable position, Yang Chengying climbed up with a shield, tied the shield in front of him, and shot the enemy from behind the shield.

It's very close to the core of the fort.

Yang Chengying even saw the figure of the Derge class: "Those who get the first level of the Derge class will be rewarded with three thousand silver." ”

"Kill!"

Under the huge material temptation, one by one the clay figures charged in the direction of the Derge.

Yang Chengying saw that Derge turned around and entered the house.

I was puzzled when I suddenly heard someone shouting, "It's on fire."

When he looked up, he saw a raging fire in the General's Palace.

"Is it difficult to set yourself on fire?" Yang Chengying was stunned.

Behind him was a raging fire, and the Houjin soldiers had no way to retreat, and they were even more ferocious.

Yang Chengying ordered: "Retreat fifteen steps." ”

The soldiers at the forefront received orders to retreat one after another.

The Houjin soldiers did not dare to chase.

Because there were archers of the Liaodong Army in the city, the fire behind them could not burn them.

Those who occasionally pursued, were either shot or hacked to death.

"Lay down your arms!"
