Chapter 816: Xiuyan City is broken, head-to-head duel
Well, the attack of his own cavalry was a Tang army, and they were all reported outside Xiuyan City before they could reach it. Damn, this was not a battle at all, but a massacre!
What to do? Now that the cavalry is all finished, my uncle is also killed outside the city by Haoge's troops. How should I deal with the artillery attack of the Tang army?
At this moment, Geng Jimao's mind was confused.
Seeing Geng's army quickly collapsed, a cold and complacent smile flashed across Haoge's face.
Humph, I also want to go out of the city to attack our artillery team. Now you bastards have tasted what it feels like to die and destroy the army.
Immediately, he ordered coldly: "The enemy cavalry has been destroyed, and the entire army obeys the order and continues to attack the city."
"Get orders!"
A man with an officer-like shouted loudly, and the huge steel dragon cannons with a caliber of 30 doors immediately started.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
...
In the huge sound of cannons that broke through the eardrum, the guns of each heavy dragon gun immediately floated with red flames, flashing with dazzling golden flames. In the thick and choking white smoke, thirty black iron bombs weighing 32 pounds, with the sound of death, hit the right side of the city wall south of Xiuyan City.
Amid the dull and continuous impact, these 30 black 32-pound iron bullets seemed to have eyes, and in a uniform distribution state, hit the city wall on the right side of the south hard.
Thirty large holes appeared in the city wall on the south side of Xiuyan City in an instant. 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 city wall on the south side was trembling violently like having asthma.
On the city wall, a large number of Geng Jun soldiers whose ears, eyes, nostrils and mouths were bleeding from their ears, eyes, nostrils and mouths were all shocked, and their qi and blood were surging. The eyes were covered by choking dust, and the city wall under them was shaking violently. Nearly a hundred Geng Jun soldiers and young and strong men in the city, who were unstable, fell from the city wall like broken leaves blowing from the wind, and then fell into meat pie.
In the face of such extremely powerful violence and complete death, human struggle and resistance are almost a joke.
Geng Jun on the city wall on the right side of the south immediately collapsed.
A large number of Geng Jun soldiers who were bleed from their mouths and noses and young and strong people in the city shouted in horror, turned around and ran away.
Their escape was so resolute and unstoppable that Geng Jimao's guards who rushed to stop them were all ruthlessly and twisted away. The fleeing Geng army and Qingzheng wailed all the way and rushed down the horse road of the city wall.
When the angrily guards pulled out their knives and were about to kill the escaped Qing army and young men, Geng Jimao shouted loudly to stop them.
"Don't do it! The Tang army's artillery is fierce, and the city wall is no longer able to be guarded. It is not their fault. Instead of dying on the city wall, it is better to retreat to defend for the time being." Geng Jimao, who was splashed with mud and mud by the smoke and dust of the artillery, shouted at his guards.
The guards stopped in time, and the defeated soldiers seized the opportunity and rushed down the city wall.
Immediately, Geng Jimao, with a sad face, quickly issued an order: "The entire army retreated from the city wall, and guarded by the street entrance. He must defeat the invading Haoge troops in hand-to-hand combat!"
"Get orders!"
Geng Jimao's order was given very timely. After all the Qing troops retreated from the city, the Tang army's second round of volleys happened to hit.
Thirty 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 city wall on the right side of the south is covered with dense spider web cracks, and the damage of the entire wall has reached a shocking level, like a dying patient.
A large area of collapsed scattered from the city walls, and dozens of Qing soldiers and young men lined up along the city walls could not hide and were hit hard by the scattered scattered scattered scattered vague flesh or simply buried alive on the scene.
Soon, the third round of artillery bombardment of the Tang army began again.
The commander who commanded the artillery fire raised the red flag in his hand, shouted loudly, and waved it down with force.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
...
The heavy artillery roared, the remaining flames flew, and thick smoke filled the sky. After the third round of heavy dragon guns, the sound of huge iron bombs crashing and the sound of the city wall collapsed, like the roar of death, and it sounded in a row. On the right side of the entire southern city wall, large pieces of broken bricks splashed, and the rammed earth in the city wall flew out like rain. The stools and female walls, like torn cloth, scattered to all directions in the form of Brown's movement. After a few rumbling sounds that caused the earth's tremor, the entire south-right city wall had basically collapsed and broken into ruins.
Seeing the tall Xiuyan city wall collapsed like melting snow in front of me, the Qing soldiers under the city wall were in a turmoil.
"Don't be afraid! I've stood up for me! The Tang army, whose heavy artillery was powerful, could only be used to hit the city walls. We will form a formation on the street now, and when they rushed over, we will fight with them. You must know that our army has always been one to do ten. We could kill the Ming army in the past, and now we can repel Haoge, the guy on the spot! In my opinion, as long as Haoge and the others dare to attack, we will spend our energy to send them to the west! So what if they have too many people now, they are just people who put on signs and buy firsts!"
Geng Jimao said loudly, and finally calmed down the chaos of the army troops in the headquarters again.
Just then, as the sound of cannons stopped, a continuous sound of horns sounded again in Haoge's army.
The defenders in the city saw from afar that the Tang army did not send infantry to attack the city, but slowly pushed the artillery and continued to advance.
Seeing the Haoge tribe's actions, Geng Jimao felt a very bad premonition in his heart.
What does this guy Haoge want to do?
Could it be that he was still thinking about using those terrible giant cannons to bombard the soldiers and horses hidden in the city?
Geng Jimao's worries soon became reality.
A large number of infantrymen in front opened the way, and the Tang army gunners began to slowly push the thirty heavy dragon guns, gradually reaching the collapsed gap.
Due to the extremely poor construction of Xiuyan City, most of the entire city walls had collapsed after the Tang army fired three times. Therefore, the Tang army's gunners were able to push all thirty heavy artillery to the collapsed place. The broken bricks and rammed earth below became excellent stepping stones, raising the position of the artillery a lot.
In this way, even if the Tang army's artillery is just flat, it can greatly increase the shooting distance, and can cause greater and more complete damage to the enemy troops hidden in the city.
After the gunners were ready, Haoge immediately went down and fired fire at the hidden enemy buildings in the city, and must destroy all the houses and walls in the city.
Haoge's strategy is very vicious.
He did this, after heavy artillery destroyed the buildings, he could use the collapsed buildings to crush the defenders in the city, but he could not lose any of his own troops.
Soon, the fourth round of artillery bombardment of the Tang army began again.
The commander who commanded the artillery fire raised the red flag in his hand, shouted loudly, and waved it down with force.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
...
The heavy artillery roared, the remaining flames flew, and thick smoke filled the sky. After the fourth round of heavy dragon gun bombardment, the sound of huge iron bombs crashing and the sound of buildings in the city collapsed, like the roar of the god of death, like the rolling thunder, and continuous sound.
Houses collapsed everywhere in Xiuyan City, and large pieces of broken bricks splashed, and the rammed earth in the wall flew out like rain. The house materials and wall tiles, like torn pieces of cloth, scattered to all directions in the form of Brown's movement. Large pieces of broken materials were even violently smashed down, smashing the enemy troops on both sides and on the ground into meat sauce. Screams rang continuously, making people unbearable to hear them.
Seeing this scene, Geng Jimao, who was splashed with dust and slag, was covered in his head and face. Seeing this scene, his heart was cut off and he was furious again.
Geng Jimao knew very well that if he continued to hold on like this, there would be no meaning except when a group of live targets that could not resist were crushed to death.
It seems that it is completely impossible to stick to the city.
With a plan, the only way to survive in death is to attack the entire army and attack the enemy's musketeers. With their own advantages in melee combat, they eliminated all the Tang army gunners, and then defeated the Haoge tribe in one fell swoop.
Thinking of this, Geng Jimao's face was full of determination.
Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to seek life in death.
"All the soldiers of the army followed the order. Xiuyan's city had been broken, and the Tang army's artillery was very fierce. If our army wanted to win, they could only have a chance of victory by seeking life in death, rush out of the city, and fight with them to the death. The soldiers of the army followed me and rushed out of the city and defeated Haoge! Kill!"
Geng Jimao finished speaking loudly, then pulled out his battle knife, jumped up, and rushed towards the Tang army musketeers who were walking towards the opposite side.
"Kill!"
Seeing his generals as brave as he was, the Geng army was greatly inspired. They all danced with guns and swords, followed Geng Jimao, jumped up quickly from his hiding place, and rushed forward together.
Behind these Gengjun, the young and strong men also shouted, holding various weapons, and rushed over with them.
"Fuck, this guy who was in trouble is a guy who is not afraid of death. It is rare to dare to fight our army to the death. "When Haoge saw Geng's army jump out from behind the ruined city wall and strode towards his gunner, he felt shocked.
A sneer flashed across his face in an instant.
"Hmph, since you think you died too slowly, then I will help you!"
Li Xiao snorted coldly, and gave a loud order to the flag-holder on the side. Then he quickly played the flag verbs, and the sound of the snare drums also changed simultaneously.
When the Tang army artillery was quickly withdrawn from the artillery, a large number of Manchurian infantry jumped out quickly and blocked the Geng army, and faced the enemy soldiers in a face-to-face head-on battle.
Many Geng Army soldiers had no time to wave their weapons before they could wield their weapons. A large number of Manzhou infantry with complete armor and armour holding sharp steel spears or heavy tiger swords could no longer be suppressed. They tried their best to wield the weapons in their hands and stabbed them hard at the chaotic and depressed Qing army.
A 4-meter-long steel spear with a sharp and terrifying triangular blood-trough gun head was stabbed at the Qing army fleeing desperately as if it had eyes.
When the three-edged steel spear head was stabbed at that moment, it was like being kissed by a poisonous snake. It could be said that it would die when touched, and it would die when touched. Under the fierce stabbing of the Tang army's spearmen, the Qing army screamed and struggled and fell to die.
Heavy and sharp tiger swords, with a terrifying roar, slashed and killed the dense enemy troops in front of them, killing any enemy troops who dared to stop them. For a moment, flesh and blood flew everywhere and internal organs splattered everywhere, just like a human slaughterhouse.
This cruel and bloody hand-to-hand combat officially began.
At this time, Geng's army fought, in order to save their lives and for military achievements, everyone rushed forward more and more frantically. They were not afraid of death and rushed forward against the tips of the spears and the spears and shield soldiers behind them crazily.
Although the young and strong behind did not dare to go directly to the enemy to fight, they also shouted and shouted from behind to help Geng's army.
Because Geng's army had a large number of troops, in the face of this dense and powerful impact, Haoge's Manzhou infantry battle formation finally began to loosen, and increasingly larger gaps appeared. The Manzhou infantry that was standing in front also continued to die and fall. However, as soon as someone died or fell down, new troops immediately added to their positions, ensuring the integrity of the entire battle formation.
In such a purely cold weapon battle, the army's courage, courage, organization, discipline and other key factors were extremely tested. In these aspects, the Manzhou infantry that had been through battle formations and trained by the Tang army were far stronger than the Geng army.
What's more, the Haoge troops stood in front of the artillery and were in a high position, so the Geng army could only attack from the ground, so the situation was quite difficult. It was precisely because of this important factor that the Geng army's combat losses and death were exacerbated.
After a bloody battle, the war loss exchange ratio between the Manzhou infantry and the Geng army was basically maintained at around 1 to 4. For Haoge's troops, after resisting the initial impact, they began to gradually gain the upper hand from a stalemate.
"Brothers, don't be afraid. If we work harder, we will definitely be able to kill the enemy!" Geng Jimao, who was slashing and slashing all over his head, shouted to encourage his subordinates while killing the enemy.
Because the infantry forces on both sides are equal and the number of Geng's army is slightly superior, although the war losses are much stronger than that of the Haoge troops than the enemy on the opposite side, it is still difficult to end the battle quickly.
And Haoge, who was watching the game behind, was also worried when he saw such a stalemate.
It's hateful. Now the two armies are crammed around the city walls, and their forces cannot be deployed, and they cannot use a large number of cavalry to help. Therefore, they can only fight and consume little by little. Such a battle is indeed worrying.
However, at this moment, Haoge heard Oboi beside him say in a deep voice: "Prince Su, the last general has seen Geng Jimao's location clearly, and now he is going to send him to the West."
