Chapter 412: It's getting more and more unbearable
The Ming army became more and more unable to hold on, and there were already four city walls occupied by the enemy, and the cavalry with mobile backs rushed up to hack some to death and force down the city walls.
At this critical moment, Chu Fan shouted again: "Release"
Dozens of artillery pieces rang out in unison, rushing to the Japanese-gold coalition army under the city wall, looking back, oh my God, what is this?
I saw the flames behind him, and the sparks splashed everywhere, but it was the Ming army that used a scatter bullet gun, which was launched by the Fran machine, and the Japanese-Jin coalition army that continued to charge the city wall thirty zhang away from the city wall suddenly became a whole riot.
The shotguns used this time are no longer large particles of lead or something, but iron beads, the size of little finger eggs, which are sprayed on the enemy after being heated, and the enemy screams and screams.
The follow-up troops immediately stopped, and no one dared to charge forward.
And Chu Fan's side, the soldier who was climbing the wall, even found a novel object, and was throwing it around the wall, as long as he touched the person, he immediately howled in pain and fell off the city.
It turned out that Chu Fan ordered someone to burn the thick iron chain red, and then threw it down from the side of the city wall, and threw it hard, as long as he took it, he immediately screamed and fell down.
This thing is much more useful than a big stone, the big stone has to be smashed accurately, and it has to be constantly carried, this thing burns red once, can be thrown for more than half an hour, it is really invincible, no one can beat it.
Suddenly, the offensive of the Japanese-Kim coalition army slowed down.
The rear charge was blocked, and the soldiers who climbed the wall in front were burned and fell everywhere, and the offensive was about to collapse.
But speaking of which, Governor Konishi was indeed a very good commander, and seeing this situation, he immediately changed his strategy and ordered the soldiers who had already reached the city wall not to attack upwards, but to dig into the wall.
The construction method is to cover the head with cowhide, wooden planks, stones to prevent the Ming army, hot oil and iron chains, etc., people hide underneath, cut with knives, poke with guns, in short, to dig a hole in the wall.
This trick is very effective, after all, under the city wall, the artillery has no shooting angle, there is nothing to be done, bows and arrows and fire guns can't see the people below clearly, and they can't hit accurately, and it takes several shots to overturn a person.
However, what the Japanese-financial coalition did not expect was that the project was not so simple.
The surface of the city wall smeared with stone mud is very solid, and the knife and gun poke it basically without feeling, and it has been cut for a long time, and there is no effect, and even the skin can not be scraped, how to dig holes.
Guns and bows and arrows flew around on the top, I don't know how many people were killed or wounded, and there was no damage to the city skin, Konishi Yukichang was a little annoyed, rode a horse, rushed to the nearest place, and kicked twice with his foot, only to find that the city wall had a layer of skin, the skin was extremely hard, and although the sword was sharp, it had no strength, so the skin was unscathed.
But when he kicked a few times, he found that although this layer of skin was hard, it was not tightly integrated with the city wall itself, and it was loose when he kicked it, and it could be peeled off as a whole.
So, let everyone remove the cowhide planks above their heads, and ride them to the heights, peeling off the skin of the wall from the seams.
When the Ming army saw that the second wave army had removed the cowhide and wooden planks, they immediately threw a large number of stones and hot oil downwards with great cooperation.
The chain was thrown up again.
Suddenly, the shouts under the city shook the sky, making the Ming army on the city wall shudder when they heard it.
Originally, the people below were not concentrated, you threw a stone down, and if you were lucky, you hit two, and if you were lucky, you might not hit one.
But the following is now concentrating on the excavation of the wall, and there are no protective measures, this stone down, at least a dozen people have suffered, plus the hot oil, it is even more indiscriminate attack, only listening to the screams below, the trench is inhumane.
Even Chu Fan couldn't listen to it anymore, covered his ears, beckoned, and signaled to continue throwing stones without stopping.
There were countless casualties under the city walls, but there were still several places where the walls were peeled open.
The Jin army followed the example of the second wave army, and also paid a painful price, and finally lifted the skin of the wall.
Now, they put cowhide and planks on top of their heads, and began their new project - digging the wall.
Seeing that the adobe city wall was poked by the enemy's sabers and spears, gradually thinning, and holes were about to appear, Chu Fan shouted: "Take the quilt and pillow."
Wu Weizhong's reaction was still very fast, and he immediately sent a quilt and pillow to Chu Fan, he thought Chu Fan was sleepy.
Chu Fan cried and shouted: "It's not for me, it's for the city wall, the more the better." ”
Soon, rolls of quilts were sent to the city wall, and Chu Fan instructed: "Quick, stuff the straw in the pillow into the quilt, dismantle the son-and-mother, sprinkle gunpowder on the quilt, and roll it up." ”
The soldiers did so, only to hear Chu Fan's voice: "Light the fire, throw it." ”
Hundreds of quilts were thrown from the city walls.
This thing works so good that it makes people jump on their feet, and it's simply terrifying to the enemy.
The quilt that caught fire fell into the enemy formation that was working below.
Because of the straw and gunpowder, plus the cotton wool in the quilt, the burning speed of this thing is quite amazing.
I don't know if you ever lit cotton when you were a child, it's generally not an open flame, but it spreads quite quickly.
I saw that after the quilt was thrown down, a spectacular scene appeared.
The quilt covered with flames began to burn violently, and as soon as the wind blew, it scattered and flew, and wherever it fell, it was ignited, which was even better than a Molotov cocktail, and as long as the place where the flames were sticky, it immediately caught fire.
In addition, the enemy troops below were dressed in cowhide and planks, which were even ignited by this fire, and the city was a sea of fire.
What was worse than the stone smashed in front of him was that the person who caught fire was about to roll underground to extinguish the fire, but his body was drenched by the rain falling from the sky.
"Rain, rain, it's raining, hahaha, God help me."
The drenched soldiers firmly believed that with such a heavy amount of rain, the fire attack must have been chosen by the Ming army at the wrong time.
It is even more heaven to save himself.
The ecstatic Japanese-Kim coalition army found the troops before they had time to continue to celebrate the heavy rain saving their lives, how could this rain have a fragrance?
Then, something terrible happened, and the rain could be lit.
Moreover, no matter how you roll or run, as long as you are contaminated with this rain, they are burned all the time and cannot be extinguished.
Look at the Ming army holding the wine jar on the city wall, laughing, as if watching the excitement.
There was a sea of fire below, and there was laughter above, and those who didn't know really thought they were watching a fire dance performance.
And what's even more terrifying is that these people who are on fire are running around, causing fire everywhere, and the entire front army of the Chinese army is basically about to be ignited.
Governor Konishi saw that something was wrong and was about to withdraw his troops, but when he saw the Houjin troops next to him, he shouted and shot his compatriots who were running away with a bow and arrow that were burning in front of him.
Konishi Xingchang He Xu Ren could only be more ruthless than Houjin, and immediately ordered to shoot the burning man who was running around in front.
When the people stopped running around, the fire stopped spreading, and after waiting for an hour, the fire in front of them was completely extinguished.
The fire was extinguished, and the Japanese-financial alliance immediately put into the project again, after all, seeing that those holes were about to be drilled through, how could they give up?
Of course, there must be no holes, hundreds of thousands of people outside, once the holes are opened, there are 30,000 Ming troops inside, and there are only those who will be sent to death.
But when the second wave army dug into the middle part of the city wall, they were blinded, why couldn't they poke it?
They must have not looked at the weather forecast when they went out, and it is now the wax moon.
Cibo people may not understand the importance of the weather, every time they meet Chu Fan, they choose winter, the last time they jumped in Pyongyang, it was winter, and this time they dug the corner, and it was winter. The winter in the Northeast is not the winter in the interior, and in that era when the world has not yet warmed, the cold winter can completely freeze everything into iron rods.
The adobe city wall, although the outside is dry, but the core part still has a certain amount of moisture, these adobes containing water, in such cold weather, of course, will freeze into solid frozen soil, don't say that your knife and gun, even a drilling machine, will not be able to chisel through for a while.
Seeing that the Cibo army was helpless, Chu Fan immediately ordered: "Open the city gate and rush out with me."
Five thousand elite cavalry rushed out from the east gate, and immediately rushed the second wave army besieging the city wall, although the number was not superior, but the cavalry had been ready to go inside, and the spirit was high, compared to the second wave army that had been fighting for nearly a day outside and had received 10,000 blows.
The momentum was like a rainbow, and it could not be stopped for a while, and the second wave army besieging the city saw that the cavalry rushed out of the city, and immediately reflexively saved itself to block the impact.
Chu Fan led the cavalry to charge all the way, unstoppable, and killed countless people along the way.
But in terms of momentum, an elite cavalry team of five thousand people may not be as strong as one person's momentum.
If you want to say that the most collapsed now, it should be the second wave army, since the battle of Pyongyang and Wangjing in Korea, the second wave army has rarely been defeated, in the face of Ma Gui's kind of generals, it is simply vulnerable, just a few charges, and Ma Gui is beaten into a water dog.
Along the way, although the Qi family army has some combat effectiveness, it is at most comparable to itself, if it is not for the supply problem, it will never let the Qi family army take a little advantage on the battlefield in Liaodong.
But today, the blow is too heavy, 300,000 people, plus 500,000 people of the Jin army, besieged a small city defended by 30,000 people, fought for almost a day and a night, not even a single hair was caught, the casualties were unbearable, I dare not say that more than half of the losses were lost, at least one-third of them had been killed under this city wall, plus the five hundred cavalry after the first wave led the way, and the magic artillery that was accurately guided by artillery fire and precise strikes made the second wave army bear unprecedented fear.
But when Xiao Xifei saw the leader of the Ming army, he couldn't help but shout: "Wow, ******** (I'm grass, it's Chu Fan)"
Others may have heard more of Chu Fan's name, but few people have seen it.
But Xiao Xifei and Chu Fan have reunited after a long absence.
Chu Fan turned to ashes, and he recognized it.
It didn't matter what he shouted, the extremely nervous second wave army was completely in turmoil.
"Chu Fan? The Battle of Pyongyang, that Chu Fan? ”
"Chu Fan who put a rat bomb in Wang Jing?"
"I'm grass, God General Chu Fan?"
"How is he?"
Chu Fan's reputation may be known to some people in China, but after all, he is not a star and does not have much influence.
But in the second wave country, especially in the second wave army, Chu Fan's name should be louder than the emperor's reputation.
In Pyongyang, Chu Fan single-handedly flayed the devils alive, roasted them in the fire, threw them into the river, and finally let Zha Dashou chase them up and kill thousands
Terrible, terrible is Chu Fan's methods, it is really too cruel, under his hands, it is too difficult and difficult to leave a whole corpse, and basically the death is extremely tragic. It's like those engineering soldiers who died tragically under the city just now.
was already on the verge of collapse, coupled with the scene of burning the living people just now, the second wave army basically had no fighting spirit, and at this moment I heard someone shouting: "Isn't that Chu Fan?" ”
The second wave of the army has completely collapsed, and the soldiers will not care about the commanders, rules, and military discipline, run, the devil is coming.
Yes, the Chu Devil, here it is again.
Yes, when a person is on the verge of collapse and gets a fatal blow again, I believe that this person will go crazy, and if it is a group of people, an insane asylum can be formed.
Not to mention anything else, even if there is not such a tragic battle as before, just Chu Fan will stop at the head of the city, and the second wave army will have to weigh it, whether this city can be attacked or not, and it is completely okay to play an empty city plan.
After all, Chu Fan's suppression of the Cibo army was better than Zhuge Liang's suppression of the Wei army.
Chu Fan chose to show up at this time, which was really a little unkind, and gave the second wave army a heavy blow at the spiritual level, causing the second wave army to collapse completely.
The inner collapse of the soldiers is only the beginning, and the collapse of the generals is the complete end.
In this world, there is only one person he fears the most, that is, the person in front of him who is holding a fire gun and galloping wildly-Chu Fan.
Whether it was Pyongyang or Wang Jing, he became a nightmare for Konishi Yukicho.
When he heard Xiao Xifei shouting Chu Fan, he suddenly got hot.
I didn't have time to think too much, because everything in front of me confirmed one thing, such a lack of moral tactics would not be someone else, it was the sworn enemy Chu Fan.
After confirming that the other party's commander was Chu Fan, Governor Konishi, who was already suspicious, had no time to react, and immediately shouted in a trembling voice: "The whole army retreats!" There was so much fear mixed in this trembling shout that every soldier could hear.
As a result, the second wave army immediately fell into a riot.
You only shouted retreat, how to retreat? Who will withdraw first? Who retreats? Where to retreat? You didn't even say it.
In the panic, everyone can't care too much, so run wherever they can.
I saw hundreds of thousands of troops, chased by Chu Fan's thousands of cavalry, running around the world.
Those who run backwards, those who flee eastward, those who flee westward.
The Houjin troops on the side were still digging into the corners, but they saw the great riot of the second wave army.
Many times the Polish army rushed directly into the Houjin camp, and the startled Nurha was dumbfounded, this is?? What the hell?
The second wave army was like a ghost, there was no direction, running aimlessly, and those who rushed into the Houjin camp were either killed or controlled, and the Houjin troops immediately stopped the siege and retreated back to the camp.
Friendly troops return to friendly forces, but you can't storm my camp.
The Houjin troops immediately retracted to prevent the large battalion from being dispersed by the second-wave army.
Seeing that the second wave of the army was shattered and collapsed, Chu Fan looked up to the sky and laughed: "Just a widow, dare to challenge the power of the Heavenly Empire, dare to take a step closer, Chu Fan will let you go and have no return." ”
As he spoke, he fired three shots into the sky, swaggered home with five thousand cavalry.
The Second Wave Army was defeated in this way, and the Houjin troops also retreated to the big camp due to the influence of the Second Wave Army, and the Japanese-Jin coalition army attacked the city and finally paused.
Chu Fan was lying in the quilt, snoring again and again, staying up for a day and a night, he was really sleepy, the heroism just now had already been thrown out of the clouds, this would be like a pig Bajie, the snoring sound of the four forks shook the sky, and he was sleeping sweetly.
Qin Hong patted Chu Fan gently, supported his head with one hand, and looked at the man quietly.
From the attack on the inn, to the rescue in Tibet, from the unification of Guge, to the fight against Wara in Ganzhou, this man exudes the breath of a strong man, which makes Qin Hong, who has always been strong, suddenly feel like he is being protected. Although he is strong in martial arts, he can't change anything by himself, and this man who doesn't know martial arts has saved many lives in fire and water by himself.
The more I look at it, the more I like it, and the more I look at it, the more I feel gratified.
If a person collapses, he will completely let go, and it will be a big deal to go crazy.
But the most uncomfortable should be the people who are on the verge of collapse.
What he saw in front of him and what he heard in the mouth of the second wave army was beyond Nurhachi's psychological tolerance.
Since his thirteen pairs of armor have been raised to the present, killing the enemy Nikan, unifying the Jurchen tribes, and capturing many cities in the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that he is invincible and invincible.
Combined with the 300,000 troops of the second wave country, there was no way to take the 30,000 defenders of this Ningyuan city area, fought for a day and a night, countless casualties, only under the city wall, the Jin army suffered more than 20,000 casualties, and when it came, the second wave army was completely dispersed, and he retreated to the camp, and in the end he didn't even bring back a city skin, which he couldn't accept in real time, how could the proud Nurhachi end up like this?
However, Nurhachi was not a waste material, and he immediately realized that the commander of the Ming army was by no means an extraordinary person.
Immediately ordered to retreat fifty miles, set up camp, and wait and see.
At this point, Chu Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief, when Wu Weizhong woke up the sleeping Chu Fan and told him that the Japanese-Jin coalition forces had all retreated, he did not feel excited, but sighed and said: "It's not easy to do this way." ”
This sentence made the people around him scratch their heads and couldn't understand it, but Wu Weizhong understood.
"My lord, tomorrow's business, tomorrow's talk, let's see if the city defense is going to be strengthened for now?"
Yes, the city defense does need to be reinforced, after Chu Fan came, the city wall that he worked hard to repair and reinforced, it was beaten into a semi-finished product in just one day, the stone and mud wall skin was stripped off, and the holes in the wall were really unbearable next time.
