Chapter 343: Kill and go up the mountain

With Yang Guozhu's order, the war drums of the Central Army in Xuanfu Town sounded, and nearly 20,000 troops began to attack on all fronts. After the casualties along the way, the soldiers of Xuanfu Town were extremely angry at this time, and under the encouragement of the sound of war drums and the cover of the chariots, they shouted and rushed towards the wall of the Qing army.

At this time, the first line of defense of the Qing army collapsed in many places, and some of the walled gates were opened, and the drawbridges of each walled gate were seriously damaged. However, the three trenches in front of the main wall were fine, so there were a large number of mountain attacking equipment along with the soldiers of Xuanfu Town.

In addition, a large number of Baizi guns and small Franc machine guns also attacked, pushed up the mountain by some brave people, providing fire support for the soldiers of the army at any time.

At the same time, at the forefront of the army, there were a large number of earthen carts, a large number of sword and shield men, and then the musketeers were ready to provide long-range fire, and then a large number of pikemen poured into the Qing line like a tide.

Seeing the army of Xuanfu Town rushing towards it shouting, the dense chariots and siege utensils also poured up together, the Qing soldiers behind the walled wall continued to roar loudly, and a large number of reinforcements poured to this side from all over the defense line in Zhongling, ready to block the soldiers of Xuanfu Town in front.

On this side of the pier platform of Niangniang Temple, Jialazhang Jingyanzha was roaring angrily, asking the Han army and the Korean army to go up to meet the battle, and some undestroyed catapults and other objects were also put on the rolling stone fire pot to be put into the place. Then Yan Zha drank and ordered the Manchurian soldiers with white flags in Jialanei to also use bows and arrows to prepare for battle.

However, because all kinds of equipment were seriously damaged under the fire of the Ming army, the equipment that could meet the enemy's wall defense equipment had not survived the original fifty percent. Especially the walled wall collapsed everywhere, whether it could be defended or not, Yan Zha and others really had no bottom in their hearts, and the Ming army had already rushed up, and it was too late to repair it at this time.

Seeing the Ming army coming densely, Yan Zha quickly rushed to an oil pot behind the wall, where it was boiling and burning, all of which were hot oil. Originally, there were several sections of this kind of oil pot, but after the blow of the Ming army's artillery fire, there were only two places left in this section of the Niangniang Temple pier.

Near the oil pot, there are also five trebuchets, these are all small catapults, the range is only dozens of steps away, but the rolling stones roll down the slope, plus the fire oil is drenched, the power is still considerable.

"Hurry up and release Benjiala!"

Yan Zha yelled at the panicked North Korean soldiers next to the trebuchet, those North Korean soldiers looked at him in fear, Yan Zha spoke Manchu, how could these North Korean soldiers understand?

It was still Yan Zha who roared and whipped with a leather whip that they understood what they meant. A North Korean soldier said that the Ming army had not entered the firing range, the trebuchet had not gone far, and there was no accuracy at all, so it was better to wait until the Ming army was closer before throwing.

The counselor of the Korean soldiers there saw that Yan Zha's eyes were fierce, and he was also a little afraid in his heart, and said in Goryeo: "Lord Yan Zha let me shoot, you can shoot, so as not to be killed!" ”

The Korean soldiers had no choice but to raise the winches of the two catapults and put a stone on each of the iron jackets, all of which were carved and round. Then each person scooped a spoonful of fire oil, poured it on the stone, and with a bang, the stone turned into a burning fireball, and the flame rushed to the old high.

"Shoot!"

The lieutenant roared, and several Korean soldiers suddenly pulled the rope, and suddenly the heavy fireball shot out in a parabola and flew out of the wall.

At this time, in the brigade of Xuanfu Town, each chariot was pushed by two people, and the musketeers and spearmen behind them all followed closely with cats.

Behind these chariots were several Hundred Sons and Franc locomotives, all loaded with scattered bombs, ready to provide fire support.

In front of the brigade were several side-by-side trench wagons, the front of which was erected high. When these wagons reach the trench, they lower the trench planks and cross the ravine as if it were a smooth road. Moreover, these trench frames are wide and thick, which can protect against bullets and provide cover for people behind the car.

Behind each trench cart, there are black pressure cart people, although the terrain of the mountain is gentle, and it is not difficult to go up the mountain with mountain attacking equipment, but after all, it is a heavy trench car, and it is up the mountain, and each car is not pushed by more than a dozen people, and it is impossible to move forward at all. As far as the eye can see, the front and back of the mountain range are full of winding chariots and trenches.

Soon the vanguard soldiers of Xuanfu Town rushed up, only to see that the wall in front of them had collapsed, leaving a gap for several people to enter. In front of the wall, there were three trenches, and in front of the trenches, they were all covered with wooden stakes that rejected horses. However, as long as the trench is erected, it is just idle to remove obstacles such as horse rejection.

On the remnants of the walls on both sides of the gap ahead, they were already covered with Tartar men and archers, and those Tartar soldiers were also nervous at the moment, just using their firearms and bows to aim at the soldiers of Xuanfu Town who were going up the mountain.

Suddenly, two fireballs smashed towards the heads of the soldiers of Xuanfu Town, followed by two loud bangs, and the fireballs smashed heavily on the hillside, igniting some remnants of the shallow grass on the ground, and then the fire ball rolled down the slope like a ball of fire, leaving countless sparks along the way.

A fireball rolls into the air, and a fireball crashes into a chariot. The two men behind the chariot couldn't help but panic, threw away the chariot at once, turned around and tried to dodge backwards, but they were blocked by the musketeers behind them.

With a bang, the fireball slammed into the chariot, knocking it to the ground, and then the stone did not move, but the oil splashed on the chariot, causing it to burn.

In particular, some fire oil was splashed on a man's body, and the fire oil was extremely viscous, and as soon as it was touched, the man's body suddenly caught fire.

I saw that the man was screaming loudly, and another man beside him was in a hurry, and came forward to slap him, but to no avail, and at last the man was covered in fire, and rolled around, and soon remained motionless.

The Qing army behind the walled wall kept throwing some fireballs with trebuchets, sometimes hitting chariots, sometimes crashing into trench carts or earthen carts, and successively ignited some mountain-attacking equipment, which also caused many people and soldiers to be on fire all over their bodies, screaming or rolling around, or running and howling everywhere, causing panic.

Fortunately, these fireballs were not accurate, and the number of throws was small, and compared to the huge mountain attack team, the damage caused by these guardians was not enough to change the situation.

Soon the soldiers of Xuanfu Town approached a distance of sixty or seventy paces in front of the wall, where a large number of chariots stopped one after another, ready to cover and shoot.

Seeing that most of the Ming army was preparing to open fire, the Qing soldiers behind the walled wall were even more panicked, and in the roar of the officers, they rushed to make the first move.

The sound of popping beans sounded, and the Han army birds behind the wall, as well as those North Korean soldiers wearing bright red short-body cotton armor and three-pronged rods on their helmets, opened fire on the Ming army. Heavy white smoke burst out one after another from all over the wall in front of him, and the flames emitted by the firecrackers flashed from time to time.

Some of the shells hit the quilt in front of the car, and the cotton wool that had been scattered kept floating.

Fortunately, the Tartar soldiers' firearms are less powerful, and at such a distance, it is rare to hit the plate baffle on the transparent army chariots, let alone the thick quilts and bedding in front of these chariots. As for the bird guns used by the North Korean army, their range and power are worse than those of the Eight Banners Han Army, and at this distance, they do not pose a threat at all.

However, under the intensive shooting, there were also some unexpected situations, and casualties began to appear on the side of the Ming army. Two of the bird-stalkers behind a chariot were shot one after another, and although the gun-gun did not completely break through their cotton armor, the projectile at this distance hit the gun-man's body like a sledgehammer hitting him hard, making the two gunners snort, fearing that they had already caused internal injuries.

Papapapa, the smoke in front of the wall, the bird of the Tartar rings non-stop, whenever the sound of the gun, the wall will be like a white dragon free. The soldiers of the Ming army heard the sound of rocket launch again, and looked up to see a large number of rockets whistling around, but it was the "masterpiece" of the Tartar soldiers behind the wall, they were holding a large rocket from nowhere, and were launching towards the Ming army brigade in front of the wall.

"Shoot back!"

At this time, a large number of Xuanfu Town firecrackers roared forward, pulled out the people who were pushing the carts, put their firearms on the chariots, and began to fire a salvo back. In an instant, a loud explosion more violent than the Qing army's guns sounded, and bursts of thick white smoke erupted in front of a large number of chariots of the Ming army.

Screams were heard from behind the wall, and the Tartars were hit by lead bullets, tearing apart their cotton armor in an instant, with or without inlaid armor leaves. The lead bullet deformed inside them, then went on a rampage, stirring everything inside them to pieces, and as the blood spurted, the soldiers fell to their feet and let out an inhuman howl.

The two sides come and go, shooting at each other across the wall. The sound of guns was endless, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the front of each other, and the cotton wool, mud and stone chips carried by the guns flew and flew out. There are rockets constantly flying towards the Ming army, the power of the rocket can not be underestimated, but the rocket is not accurate, if it is not hit, the soldier is wearing armor, it is an arrow, and the injury is not serious.

At the same time, behind the wall, there are some genuine Manchurian Tartar soldiers to shoot sharp arrows, but at this distance, the Qing army's foot bow is less powerful, the general Qing army's combat style, is the enemy into fifty steps after shooting arrows, if they shoot back, it will form a rocket-like effect, the lethality is really limited.

The two sides fought each other for a while, and both sides also suffered casualties, but on the whole, the casualties of the Qing army were greater.

Subsequently, the Baizi Gong and the small Franc machine that were hiding far behind were pushed forward by the people, and these guns were all filled with shotguns, loaded with breech loads, and filled with dozens of projectiles, including one large bullet, weighing two, and dozens of small leads, each weighing money, about a hundred paces away.

At this time, the Ming army was filled with gunsmoke, and from time to time there was smoke drifting towards the wall, and the Qing army could not see the movement of the Ming army clearly, and still kept firing arrows. The Ming army was slightly clear about the movements of the Qing army, because the relatively strong wind on the ridge made it easy to blow away the gunsmoke.

Suddenly the cannon roared, the Ming army's Baizi Gong and Trumpet Franc machines opened fire one after another, under the salvo of one or two hundred Hundred Sons and Trumpet Buddha Lang Machines, many projectiles formed a barrage, scrambling to shoot at the Qing army's wall, like a steel storm, sweeping everything around the wall!

Those walls have battlements, and many Qing troops are hidden next to the battlements of the remnants of the wall, and if they open their guns, their upper bodies will flash out. Suddenly encountered the Ming army's shotgun bombardment, behind the wall, at the same time many screams. Many Qing soldiers were hit in the upper body, shooting countless bloody arrows, and then many people's bodies exploded. In particular, the heads of a few people became rotten watermelons on the spot.

Subsequently, the Ming army fired two volleys, and the heavy fire made it difficult for the Qing army to parry, and the casualties were heavy. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the soldiers of Xuanfu Town advanced dozens of steps, and soon advanced to the wall.

By this time, the battle was even more intense.

A large number of people, under the cover of the chariots on both sides, came out from behind all kinds of mountain-attacking equipment, desperately moved away the horses in front of the wall and ditch, tore off the wooden stakes, and then put down the trenches in front of the trenches and erected them on the deep trenches, and some of the trenches even directly pushed the horses in front of the trenches.

There were low walls in front of and behind the trenches, and a large number of people dug the low walls, and many people hid in their cars, desperately throwing sandbags and dirt bags into the trenches from the inside.

Inside the wall, the Qing soldiers' stone and fire pot missions were thrown, and some stones stained with fire oil were thrown, and arrows were also fired at those people or the Ming army. The Ming army behind the chariot was desperately trying to cover.

At this distance, whether it is each other's firearms, bows and arrows, and rockets, they all reach the maximum lethality, and people on both sides continue to fall.

Some people or soldiers of the Ming army were thrown by the enemy's stones, and they couldn't help but open their flesh, and even died of serious injuries. Some of the mountain-attacking equipment was thrown by the fire pot, and it burned brightly, and the people inside also fled in a panic.

In order to counterattack the Qing army, the soldiers of Xuanfu Town began to throw earth-shaking thunder, and loud noises came one after another. It's okay to throw it in front of the wall, but if it is thrown into the wall or behind, it will suddenly blow up the flesh and blood of those Qing soldiers, killing and injuring countless people.

Moreover, those things in the 10,000 enemies have been soaked in horse manure, which can be said to be full of toxins. In this kind of weather, even if you don't die on the spot, if you are blown out of the wound, nine out of ten will be infected and die.

As the trenches were filled in one by one, the Ming army chariots in front of the walled wall were getting closer and closer, and the tens of thousands of enemies thrown over became denser and denser.

Finally, after paying a lot of casualties, the three trenches in front of the soldiers in Xuanfu Town were paved with trench boards. The wall had already collapsed, and the gap was for several people to enter, and it was only half a man's height from the moat.

"Rush in and kill the Tartars!"

"Kill!"

Amid the countless shouts, a large number of swordsmen, shields, and pikemen rushed out from behind the chariot, and the soldiers climbed up from the many gaps, and then roared into the wall.

The two sides began to fight hand-to-hand!

Some people died, but not completely......
