Chapter 1254: Brothers, Follow Me
The cavalry of King Sanshun rushed out of the city gate under the bombardment of cannonballs, and immediately ushered in the three-dimensional attack of the firecrackers, the firecrackers on the ship, the firecrackers on the shore, and the crossfire, who can withstand this.
In the blink of an eye, the cavalry was crushed.
The Gaojia villagers managed to gain a firm foothold on land.
By this time, Kong Youde and others understood that these Ming troops had the ability to forcibly land a few days ago, but they deliberately did not land, as if they were waiting for something.
Now it seems that they should be waiting for the movement on the Mongolian steppe!
"We've been away from Daming for a few years, have Daming's firearms become so powerful?" Kong Youde was a little confused.
"They're coming!" Shang Kexi yelled: "Prepare to defend the city." ”
The Gaojia villagers, who had established themselves on the coast, began to move forward slowly.
Cheng Xu stood behind the military formation, stretched out his hand and pointed to a position on the city wall, and said loudly: "Artillery battalion, pull out that giant crossbow." ”
Someone behind him immediately answered: "Obey!" ”
"Artillery battalion, pay attention to the position at the head of the city, there are a large number of enemy troops holding on, and they need to be taken care of by key firepower."
Artillery battalion: "Yes!" ”
In just a few moments, the Gaojia villagers demarcated several important positions on the city wall.
The artillery battalion began to get busy at the same time.
The Musketeers are also focusing on their own key targets.
And the more than 2,000 Guanning iron horsemen under the command of Cao Wenzhao silently prepared the cloud ladder...... Attacking the city wall and fighting hand-to-hand combat, they are more experienced than the Gao family villagers, so they are responsible for attacking the fortifications.
A roar from the small barrel.
"Boom!"
A small howitzer flew towards the giant crossbow on the city wall, but it flew to a position about ten meters away from the city wall, and it fell to the ground, blowing up a lonely one.
The defenders in the city were startled when they heard the sound of artillery firing before, but now they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw the cannonballs falling so far, and thought to themselves: such a crooked cannon? What is there to be afraid of?
At this time, in the artillery camp of Gaojia Village, several artillerymen were scolding their mother.
"Damn, I'm afraid to hit a residential area in the city, and the elevation angle of the first shell is raised too high."
"Don't worry, there's still some distance between the walls and the residential areas." Another artilleryman shouted, "What inhabitant would have the audacity to build his home behind the city walls?" The defenders won't allow it either! ”
"Ah, that's right. The city wall is also considered a military structure, and it is impossible for a house to be built next to it. ”
The artilleryman took a deep breath: "Do it again!" ”
"Boom!"
Another cannon shot sounded, and the defenders in the city were still wondering where to go this time, when they heard the second sound of "boom", and the giant crossbow exploded! Billowing black smoke enveloped the location of the giant crossbow, and several of the soldiers responsible for wielding the giant crossbow flipped out screaming.
"Pull out a giant crossbow from the other party."
"The second, aim for the second ......"
The artillerymen shouted, the small cannon barrel immediately adjusted its direction, and then stared at the second giant crossbow, and several cannon shots roared, and several giant crossbows on the city wall were all swept up by the explosion one after another.
Kong Youde knew at a glance that the situation was not good.
"The other party has no large weapons." Cheng Xu ordered loudly: "Forward!" ”
"Onward! Advance! Advance! ”
The battle song sounded.
The militia began to advance......
Without the threat of a large weapon like a giant crossbow, there is nothing to fear.
"Shieldmen!"
Cao Wenzhao roared, and the Guanning Iron Horse, who was walking in the forefront, raised a large tower shield made of aluminum alloy, although this thing was large and strong, but it was only thirty percent of the weight of an iron shield.
The Guanning Iron Horse, who was accustomed to using iron heavy shields, held an aluminum alloy shield, which could be said to be as light as nothing.
As soon as they pushed forward, the defenders at the head of Dandong City panicked.
An archer eagerly pulled his bow and leaned out of the recess to release his arrows......
But before he could shoot his arrows, the snipers in the militia had already fired, and the archer had a bloody hole in his chest, screamed, and fell backwards.
Kong Youde: "Release the arrow!" ”
A large number of archers poked their heads out of the city walls, desperately firing arrows.
The arrow shot at the aluminum alloy shield raised by the Guanning Iron Horse, clanging, so lively.
The musketeers immediately returned fire.
The bullets hit the bumps and bumps, splashing sparkling fires and flying stone chips.
The archers found that as long as they dodged as well as they could, and shot arrows outside by throwing arrows, the firearms still couldn't hit them.
"Don't be afraid! Projectile, projectile. One of the archers shouted: "As long as you shoot, you won't ......"
I didn't finish a sentence, boom! A shell fell where he was hiding.
The archer screamed and flew.
Just what the fuck do you shoot? Can't I throw shells from Gaojia Village?
The artillery battalion, which had just pulled out the giant crossbow, had now readjusted its firing angles and began to cover the walls with artillery fire......
They were careful not to get too close or too far, so as not to harm the residential areas of the city.
This is really a hard test of the artillerymen's skills.
The recruits who had just joined the artillery battalion did not dare to fire a single cannon now, and all the old artillerymen were adjusting the firing angle by themselves.
"Boom, boom!"
The rows of cannonballs on the city wall blew up, and the Qing soldiers hiding behind the bumps and bumps were blown up so that their temper was gone, and they all shrank in the corners behind the wall and shivered.
"Artillery battalion, stop! Our people are near. ”
Cheng Xu gave an order, and the artillerymen discovered that the shield array of Guanning Iron Cavalry had been pressed not far from the outside of the city wall, and if they fired again, they would accidentally injure their own people.
As a result, the artillery battalion, which had made great contributions in the early stage, began to enter rest mode.
The tower shield array of the Guanning Iron Cavalry was divided to both sides, and the soldiers who were prepared behind the shields shook their hands sharply, and a grenade flew towards the back of the city wall, and at the same time as the rumbling explosion, the soldiers carrying the ladder had already rushed to the city wall.
"Fire covers them to build a ladder!" Cheng Xu yelled.
The fire guns of the militia were all pointed at the head of the city.
I saw that the ladder was erected and walked towards the city wall, and the Qing soldiers hiding behind the wall immediately poked their heads out, still holding a big stone in their hands, and were about to smash it down, I don't know how many firecrackers fired at him at the same time.
There was a thunderclap like fried beans, and the stone fell and hit Qing Bing's own foot, but he was no longer in pain, he was shot several times in the chest, and he was already too dead to die anymore.
Under the suppression of the firepower of the firecrackers, more than a dozen cloud ladders were set up at the same time.
Cao Bianjiao roared, took the lead, climbed one of the ladders, with a shield in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, and shouted: "Brothers, follow me." ”
