Chapter 485 Almost crushed artillery
Babuhai saw from a distance that a man with an officer-like appearance in front of the Tang army artillery formation waved down the red flag in his hand. At the same time, he shouted loudly, and the huge steel heavy dragon-strike cannons with a caliber of 100 doors immediately started.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
......
In the continuous sound of huge cannons that shook the eardrums, the guns of 100 heavy dragon storms immediately floated with bloody red flames, and a dazzling golden flame flashed. In the thick and pungent white smoke, 100 huge black iron bombs weighing 32 pounds, with the sound of death, hit the northern wall of Hetuara City hard.
Amid the dull and heavy impact, these 100 black 32-pound iron bullets seemed to have eyes, and hit the entire northern city wall in a uniform distribution state.
Nearly a hundred large holes appeared in the northern wall of Hetulara instantly. At the edge of each hole, thick and broken lines were as dense as spider webs, spreading unscrupulously to the surround. Large pieces of bricks of the city wall splashed and cracked, and a piece of dust filled the fog. The entire northern wall was trembling violently as if it had asthma.
On the north wall, a large number of Qing soldiers whose ears, eyes, nostrils and mouths were bleeding from their ears, eyes, nostrils and mouths were all shaken. Everyone was shocked by blood. The eyes were covered by choking dust, and the city wall under their feet was shaking violently. Nearly a hundred Qing soldiers who were unstable were even more shaking like broken leaves blowing from the wind. They screamed and fell off the city wall, and then fell into meat pie.
The Tang army's fierce heavy artillery fire this time caused the northern wall of Hetuara City to fall into a considerable chaos in an instant.
The Qing soldiers who had experience in the battlefield were in good condition, but the large number of young and strong men and women who were shattered from their mouths and noses, and were covered in dust on their heads and faces. They screamed in horror, turned around and ran away from the horse road in the city wall, turned around and ran away.
"Don't run away! Come back quickly and continue to defend the city wall! Those who violate military orders will be killed without any hesitation!"
The Babuhai, which was struck by the surging waves of sand and dust, was covered in dust and hair, as if he had just walked out of the desert, looking extremely embarrassed.
He coughed violently, stood up with the walls of the city walls, and roared at the Qing army that fled away. However, in this chaos, although he shouted at the top of his lungs, the effect was not great. A young and strong man who had been shocked and deaf, ran past Babuhai, and did not hear the warning of the highest commander of the Qing army at all.
"Bastard, don't run!"
Babuhai was angry and angry. He pulled out the sharp sword, shouted angrily, stabbed the escaped guy with a big hole from behind to his chest. The escaped young man shook his body for a moment, then fell backwards from the city wall, and fell into a pile of meat pie.
After finally killing seven or eight people in the Babuhai and his guards, the Qing army who were beaten to Mongolia finally stabilized again. The escapees returned to their posts in fear, and the situation on the entire northern city wall was slightly stable.
At this time, the Tang army gunners who had just finished the first round of volleys were clearing the chamber, loading and filling the bullets, preparing for the next round of shooting.
Babu Hague clenched his eyes, and then he ordered: "Put down the suspension bridge, all the cavalry will go out of the city to attack, and be sure to kill all the Tang army gunners!"
"Get orders!"
Soon, the four hundred elite cavalry in the city put down the North Gate suspension bridge, opened the city gate, and rushed out of the city together.
As soon as the four hundred cavalry crossed the suspension bridge, they heard a thunderous sound behind them.
A cavalry subconsciously turned his head and saw that the suspension bridge was being pulled up by the soldiers on the city wall, and the north gate had already been tightly closed.
For a moment, all the cavalry's faces were covered with lonely and lonely expressions.
They knew that Babuhai had decided to use them as abandoned children when he did this. As long as they led their troops out of the city, they would have to go to the battlefield.
Maybe this is the fate of a slave.
When Babuhai saw that the Qing cavalry who had left the city showed hesitation, he couldn't bear it. He gritted his teeth hard, his eyes were blood red.
"Brothers, come forward quickly. As long as you kill the Tang army gunners, I will definitely not treat everyone unfairly. After you come back, I will personally celebrate your merits!" Babuhai shouted loudly at the top of the city.
Hearing the encouragement of the chief general, the cavalry who left the city knew that they could believe these false words, but what else could they do? After all, the Qing Dynasty had extremely strict military laws and those who disobeyed and refused to obey were going to be executed immediately. So, they shouted in unison like beasts, then pounded their horses' belly, rushed forward towards the Tang army artillery formation in the distance.
The horse's hooves were rumbling and dust was flying. On this midsummer morning, the Qing cavalry galloped on horseback, shooting towards the Tang army's artillery formation like an arrow from a string.
When they reached the right time, only about 300 steps away from the row of Tang army artillery, the Qing cavalry spread out into a straight line. Everyone was optimistic about the gunners who were going to kill in front of them. While taking out the bow and arrow aimed, they were pounding the horse's belly harder and rushed forward quickly.
The effective attack distance of the bow and arrow is 60 steps, so they have to speed up and rush to this distance, so that the Tang army gunners can taste the power of the Qing cavalry's rapid bow and heavy arrows.
"Roar, rush over and shoot all these Nikans!"
As they ran closer and closer, the Qing cavalry roared like a group of crazy wild animals. With the rumbling sound of horse hooves, these Qing cavalry with bows and arrows pulled the bowstrings to the Tang army gunners on the opposite side.
As long as they ran within range, these Tang army gunners would definitely escape from the heavy arrows of the Qing army.
What these Qing cavalry did not expect was that when this seemed to be smooth, an accident arose.
All the Qing cavalry clearly saw that these Tang army gunners turned around and fled backwards like bunnies chased by eagles, but behind them, there were dense rows of musketeers.
To be precise, it was two rows of musketeers with more than 3,000 people. They quickly set their aiming positions because they stood in one row, knelt on one row, covered with burning fuses, holding the loaded muskets.
At this time, Babuhai, who was observing with a thousand-mile mirror at the top of the city, his light brown pupils suddenly contracted into a little in horror.
Damn! There are actually hidden musketeers in the Tang army formation. Now, our cavalry scattered in a row have become completely targets for being beaten?!
"Quick!, yell the gold, yell the gold quickly, let them come back!"
As Babuhai shouted, the Tang army opposite, with the shouting of a captain, the two rows of musket gunmen who were standing or kneeling suddenly started together.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang..."
The sound of muskets with explosive beans sounded violently, and the remaining flames floating from the muzzle formed two bright yellow and dazzling fire lines. Large patches of choking and heavy white mist surged, instantly turning the entire Tang army formation into a fairyland on earth.
Three thousand muskets, two thousand six hundred poles, were fired, and these two thousand six hundred small lead bullets weighing three cents formed a dense rain of death, and roared towards the Qing cavalry that was rushing towards them.
Babuhai could clearly see from the Qianli Mile Mile Mile Mile that the whistling rain of lead bullets shot the Qing cavalry, people or horses, rushing towards him.
At least nearly 350 Qing cavalrymen were shot at the moment of fire. The screams of the cavalry and the wail of the horses were mixed together, like the laughter of the god of death. The Qing cavalrymen were on their backs and overturned, and the entire cavalry formation that was rushing forward was instantly in chaos and collapse.
It was not until this time that the sound of gold from the Qing army sounded out loud, which was a pity that it was too late.
The only remaining Qing cavalry, with less than forty cavalry, was already full of souls and courage, and was like headless flies running around the wild.
Fortunately, the Tang army saw that they were very small and too lazy to send troops to chase them. They were beaten to death. After running around in the wild for a while, they hurriedly pulled their horses back to the north gate and entered the city.
At the entrance of the North Gate City, Babuhai, who saw this tragic scene with a thousand-mile mirror, felt aching in his heart, as if he had cut a knife.
Okay, the attack of his own cavalry was a Tang army, and they were all killed outside the city of Hetuala. Damn, this was not a battle at all, but a massacre!
The Tang army is so fierce and cruel, with a strict and precise organization. Are these soldiers and horses really the opponents of the Tang army?
Thinking of this, Babuhai felt that he was cold from head to toe.
Seeing the Qing army being defeated, a cold and proud smile flashed on the face of Li Xiao, Duke of Tang who was escorting the Tang army behind the Tang army formation in the north.
Humph, he had seen these tricks of the Qing army too many times, and he could be said to be able to deal with them.
Immediately, he ordered coldly: "The Qing cavalry has been destroyed, continue to attack the city with artillery."
"Get orders!"
The Tang army artillery commander raised the red flag in his hand again.
"preparation!"
"put!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
......
Another hundred black 32-pound iron bullets roared. In the deafening sound of cannons, the broken bricks on the city wall were like rain, and the choking dust fog flew up all over the sky.
The entire northern city wall was covered with dense spider web cracks, and the damage of the entire wall reached a shocking level, like a dying patient struggling dyingly.
All the defending Qing troops, including Babuhai, felt that the city walls under their feet were shaking back and forth even more violently, and as many as hundreds of Qing soldiers who had no time to lie down or support them were shocked and screamed. Large areas of collapsed swaggered from the city walls and fell into pieces. These shattered stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen s
There are also several scattered cannons placed on the city, which are thrown around like toys that have been shaken away, and they fall from the city walls, and then fall into a pile of scrap copper and iron on the ground.
Under the fierce bombardment of the Tang army's heavy dragon storm guns, Hetuara City, a city wall that has been carefully built since the age of Lao Nu, has not shown any strength in its state than the previous Lushun City. It was also terrible by the Tang army's Long Zhou's gun.
After being hit hard for the second heavy blow, the Qing army defenders were immediately in a more serious chaos than the first shelling.
Under such a fierce and violent force, in the face of such absolute death that human power could not resist, all the Qing troops on the north wall, even those who had been fighting for a long time, had their confidence severely destroyed. The morale, which was originally not high, suddenly dropped to a level that was almost impossible.
And those young and strong guarding cities who were forcibly recruited were already brave enough. Many people howled wildly and immediately lost their weapons and fled.
At this time, no one needed to mobilize. When someone shouted, they immediately lost their posts, wailed down the city wall and fled wildly.
When the furious Babuhai was about to kill and establish his authority again, Melgen, the deputy general who was originally guarding the east wall, rushed over with a panic look on his face and shouted to him: "Master, the Tang army's artillery is so fierce that the north wall can't be defended!"
"You, what did you say?!"
Babuhai stared at him with a blood-red face, his eyes so fierce that he could almost kill people.
"Master, the Tang army's artillery is so accurate and fierce, and our army does not have an effective counterattack method. The north city wall will sooner or later be destroyed by the Tang army. We are here to defend it. What can we do except be bombed and killed with the city wall?"
Melgen hurriedly knelt down and beat him up. He frowned and shouted to Babuhai with a sad face.
After hearing Melgen's shouting, Babuhai's face was full of twists and pain.
He had to admit that Melgen's words made sense and were the most correct decision under such a dilemma.
Under such fierce and fierce artillery fire from the Tang army, his so-called tenacious guard was just a meaningless and in vain.
Fuck him, what kind of battle is this going to be!
Just being beaten, he could not fight back. He watched these dog-entry Tang troops rampantly and unyieldingly bombard the Hetulala walls with heavy artillery. He had no choice but to be beaten like a turtle with his head shrunk. Is there anything more aggrieved in the world?
However, if such a hurried order would be a blow to the morale of all the defenders!
Babuhai was very confused and gritted his teeth and couldn't make a decision. Melgen, who was beside him, shouted again: "Master, the third shelling of the Tang army is about to begin again. If you don't make a decision quickly, our defenders will only have more casualties. What's the point of such persistence for the sake of face?"
Facing Melgen's anxious expression, Babuhai sighed, his face full of faint expression.
He pulled Melgen up on his knees and shouted loudly: "Melgen, you are right. The Tang army artillery is so fierce that it is meaningless to guard the north wall. Then I will pass the order of this general to let all the guardians of the city wall retreat from the city immediately, set up a formation to meet the enemy at the entrances of the streets in the city, and kill the enemy in the city!"
"Yeah! The master is wise!"
After hearing the order of Babuhai to give up the city wall, the Qing army guarding the city and the young and strong soldiers who were conquered on all sides were as if they had been pardoned and like a retreating tide, they immediately rushed out of the city wall.
When he saw the Qing army on various walls and retreating from the wall like a tide, a sneer appeared on Li Xiao's resolute face.
He knew that this uninnovative siege battle was finally over again.
Chapter completed!
