Chapter 115: The Bloody Battle in Dock Castle 5
October 22, 11th year of Jianxing
In the early morning, Hailinbao launched another attack.
Both he and Xu Shiyang knew very well that whether they could capture the fort, this was the last attack.
During the several battles between, Hailin Bao's Zhen Jurchens suffered more than 100 losses, Han Mouke suffered more than 300 losses, only half of the unarmored Jurchen slave soldiers were left, and only more than 1,000 newly captured slaves were left, and half of them were still women who could not go to the battlefield.
So, no matter how unwilling Hailinbao is, this is the last time.
Because he no longer has the strength to organize the next attack.
Mouke Puluhun raised his head and looked at the dock wall a mile and a half away with fear. The enemies opposite yesterday were not idle either. Although they gave up the low wall under the city, they repaired a lot of battlements that had been blown up at the top of the dock wall. Even if they were not repaired, they covered it with thick wooden boards.
As an old soldier, Puluhun knew very well that in the face of such fortifications, their most heavy bows and arrows could only play a role in suppressing and could not kill in large quantities, thus causing the collapse of the enemy.
If we can win, then the Great Jin Warriors will definitely climb to the top of the city and defeat the militia on the other side with a knife.
Puluhun felt that with the combat effectiveness shown by the opponent in the past few days, even if everything went well, the Great Golden Warriors would have to pay at least 100 more people.
This is simply a loss-making deal!
Pu Luhun felt that Hailinbao was already crazy, otherwise how could he be determined to fight to the end?
At the last row of the Jin army, Hailinbao shouted loudly:
"Today, the first person to board the wall will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver! 20 pieces of satin! 5 Chinese women! One BMW! After breaking through this siege, all the gains belong to you slaves. I will not take any money from my master!"
'There are quite a lot of rewards, but you have to have the chance to take them.' Pulu sighed secretly: 'And it would be strange if Master Heshilie didn't kill you after he went back this time!'
"Today, if the Han people take a step back, the Jurchens will kill them! If the Jurchens take a step back, they will kill them! If they don't break the encirclement, no one is allowed to take a step back! Attack!"
After shouting, Hai Linbao brought 20 Jurchen armored soldiers as the supervision team, forcing the Jurchens, traitors, slave soldiers and slaves in front of him to escort each other and move forward slowly.
Xu Shiyang was still standing on the top of the west wall of the fort, looking at the enemy coldly.
Since it was the last blow, of course we had to do our best. The Tartars on the opposite side did not even restrain their troops. They obviously concentrated all the forces at hand that could be gathered to attack Ximen.
This is simply..., it's so good!
The Tartars completely ignored the field capabilities of Dingyuan Camp and believed that Xu Shiyang could only defend!
This is definitely a fatal mistake.
"Xie Bao, Xu Da, Xu Er."
"exist!"
"I'm here!"
"You three lead the three squadrons of Dingyuan Camp out from the north gate. After an hour of fighting here, you will attack and encircle the Tartars' retreat." Xu Shiyang ordered: "If you see Xu Shiliu outside, call him together. Even if he doesn't come, you must attack by yourself."
"Master, this is too dangerous!" Jie Bao immediately advised: "We are all here. As long as we withstand this wave, we will win. There is no need to take risks again!"
"No! I want to win all! I want to wipe out the Tartars!" Xu Shiyang said: "The Tartars will not suffer a big loss once, they will only treat us as a dining table again and again! We must show our momentum and let the Tartars know that they are powerful!"
More importantly, until now, Xu Shiyang found that his biggest advantage was that the enemy was not familiar with gunpowder weapons, so he was caught off guard several times and suffered heavy losses.
If this group of Tartars were asked to go back part of them, they would definitely pay attention to this issue next time. By then, Xu Shiyang would have a major reliance.
"Don't persuade me anymore! I'm determined! You guys go and prepare immediately!"
...
This time, the Tartars walked slightly faster than the last attack.
Because most of the wooden cannons in Xu Shiyang's hand had been consumed, there were not many gunpowder weapons available.
He must save money and use the strongest firepower in the most important places.
Based on the excitement of the second round of heavy firepower in the last battle, Xu Shiyang believes that the best design effect of wooden cannons against the Tartar shield chariot is about 10 steps.
So this time, Xu Shiyang simply gritted his teeth and allowed the enemy to approach about 10 steps before ordering the fire.
Boom boom boom boom!
This time, only 8 Mark 2 participated in the shooting, and 3 shield cars were destroyed as they wished.
There were also some slaves who pushed shield chariots, who could not bear the tragic situation of their companions around them and fled in all directions.
The Tartars, who were supervising the war behind, shot a light arrow, killing about 20 fugitives, and the others fled.
Then, the Tartars forced the slaves or traitor soldiers behind them to fill them up and continued to push the shields.
Just like last time, the shield truck was pushed directly into the trench, and Xu Shiyang's not-wide enough trench was instantly filled with a section.
But this time is a little different from last time. There is a row of shield cars behind the first row.
The Tartars filled the bodies of the dead in front and the earth bags carried by the slaves on the back of the shield chariot, forming a flat road.
During this period, the militia who replaced Dingyuan Battalion as the main defensive force shot hundreds of arrows with their soft bows and killed about 30 or 40 unarmored slaves.
The Jurchen soldiers also fought back hundreds of arrows a little further away, and the militia also fell on the wall one by one.
However, at this time, the morale of the 153Tun militia was quite high. They had defeated the Tartars many times. Many people thought that this time was no exception. Many people stood beside the anti-arrow hanghu and wooden shield, and braved the rain of arrows to shoot at the enemy. They suffered the heaviest casualties, but they still shouted in unison to shoot at the enemy.
However, the lethality of the soft bow and bone arrows was insufficient after all. The Tartars had successfully filled a long trench, and then the second row of shield chariots continued to advance, and the militia's bow and arrow immediately lost its function.
"Prepare for thousands of enemies!"
Xu Shiyang shouted:
"Remember, don't stick your body out!"
Being brave is not always a good thing, calmness may be more important.
The last time I had a very painful experience, so I can't do it without learning a lesson.
Three, two, one!
push!
More than a hundred thousand enemies were pushed out from the middle of the battlements - this was not used to smash people anyway, so why should I throw them out?
There is also a layer of rattan frame outside the packaging of the clay pot, and it is wrapped with hemp rope to prevent some ammunition that has been too long and does not explode quickly.
Once ten thousand enemies explode properly, the power generated by a pound of black gunpowder is enough to completely destroy the Tartar shield chariot. Moreover, after the pottery jar is broken, the effect on the armorless enemy is equivalent to self-forging and fragmentation, and the lethality and killing range are very considerable.
The second row of shield cars instantly fell into the sea of fire and turned into countless debris and burning wreckage.
Slaves, slave soldiers and some traitor soldiers struggled to death in the flames, and the miserable howling sounded across the sky.
Xu Shiyang and Hai Linbao were both satisfied with such a scene.
The former was proud of the enemy's losses again and destroyed all the shield cars. The latter was also secretly happy that the defenders consumed a large amount of gunpowder with just some cannon fodder.
Chapter completed!
