Chapter 862: The decisive battle on the grassland
Thousands of defenders in Mongolia and Lin were still strengthening the damage to the fortifications of the southern city wall. After the General Secretary Zhang Yihu ordered the ignition of two decisive chariots, he was ready to attack. It was not that two copycat chariots were ignited at the same time, but that they exploded almost at the same time. Thousands of kilograms and high explosions were all the same as the explosion. The power of this explosion was that Tian Peng, the commander of the supervising battle ten miles west of Dalian, felt the vibration from the ground on the back of the horse. The vibration on the ground and the explosion and shock wave from the sky made the cavalry of the Pou Army feel hearts and hearts tremble ten miles away. Originally, the air of Helin Chuntian was moist, and the largest explosion since the completion of Helin caused the dust and smoke to be as high as a hundred feet.
Although the decisive chariots of Liu Qingshan Mountain's mountain troops were counterfeit items, there was no living creature within a radius of 60 feet in the explosion site. Even the Pou Nu Army, who was preparing to attack a hundred feet away, were stunned by the explosion. Although the Pou Nu Army had sufficient preparations before the explosion, many officers and soldiers were still bleeding from the shock waves. As the pioneer of the attacking side, Zhang Yihu mainly saw that most of the war soldiers had the overall combat power and had to charge. Taking advantage of the smoke of the explosion, the General Secretary Zhang Yihu personally led the team to rush up to the Helin City Wall. Three explosion pits five feet wide and ten feet deep under the broken mud wall were three more than ten feet wide and ten feet deep, causing some trouble for the Pou Nu Army's attack. The Helinnan City Gate disappeared in the huge explosion just now. The Pou Nu Army did not expect to blow up the thick city gate at first, and now there is only a pile of rubble as big as an imperial tomb left in the south gate.
The Pou Nu Army attacking the Helin City Wall did not encounter much resistance. The most they saw were the Mongolian defenders who were slumped on the ground. The Mongolian defenders who were intact and bleeding from their faces were killed. The soldiers of the Pou Nu Army who rushed up the city wall saw their enemies so close. Most of the defenders they saw were children and old men with half-sized leather armor, and they fought with these old and weak.
The soldiers of the Pou Slave Army felt a little unfair. Zhang Yihu's key combat goal was to attack westward, and to control the city wall on the west side of Helin, he could join the army of the commander Tian Peng. The fierce battle entered at this time. Helin City was crying and howling because of the big explosion just now. Seeing the shadow of the Pou Slave Army attacking the city wall, no matter men, women, young and old, as long as they could pick up the bow and arrow, they ran to the Pou Slave Army's breakthrough point to use arrows to protect the safety of their homes and their families.
The Mongolians in Helin knew that the black devil army of Ponu Army would not let go of the men in Helin City, and their children could not escape the claws of the corsages and wolf accomplices of the Ponu Army's grassland. Mongolian women live on the grassland for many years, and they also need to take care of cattle, sheep and children after men leave home. To deal with hungry wolves on the grassland, they must use bows and arrows to defend their homes. Mongolian women can shoot bows and shoot archers, but behind them are their own children. In order to protect their children, they do not need anyone to command, and they rush to the southwest city wall to shoot arrows at the city wall. Unlike Mongolian women who are desperate to shoot archers, Mongolian men on the west wall performed much worse. Under the suppression of the Ponu Army's muskets and suppressed lead bullets, they hid behind the dead Mongolian corpse walls and did not dare to look up.
The dense lead bullets of the Po Nu Army stirred up blood on the wall of half a meter tall and three meter long piled up in Mongolia. The Hui Hui cannons on the city wall became the Mongolian defenders to avoid the obstacles of lead bullets, and the thick wooden pillars were shot out of wood chips. The continuous sound of musket shooting indicates the determination of the Po Nu Army to attack. The steady advancement of musket army made the Mongolian defenders frightened. Qian Zong Lu Sanmao, with eight hundred musket soldiers, braved the rain of arrows from both sides and advanced to the city gate to the west with firm steps. The city wall was not spacious, and there were corpses and Hui Hui gun obstacles everywhere. In addition, the Mongolian women shot arrows and harassed them under the city wall. The narrow attack path also made the entire progress of the Po Nu Army not smooth.
Lu Sanmao, who was beaten a little bit angry, ordered the flag-languager to send a message to the two artillery teams, hoping that the artillery would eliminate the interference in the city wall. After receiving the request from Lu Sanmao, Liu Qingshan ordered the artillery team to put the general Zhu Sibai on the wall to determine the shooting location for the attacking troops on the west side. Zhu Sibai took three flag-languager to climb up to a high place along the broken city wall, covered with arrow rods, especially his helmet with two long arrows inserted into his helmet, like a crooked pheasant tail, and the wrong place was grown. At the moment of the tense and chaotic battlefield, no one had time to laugh at him, and Zhu Sibai cursed and looked down. The soldiers of the Pou Nu Army were not kind-hearted. As long as the enemy who resisted with weapons, they would not be ruthless, regardless of men or women, they would not be ruthless. The dense musket lead bullets covered the crowd under the city wall.
Every round of gun shooting of the Po Slave Army on the city wall can sweep out a large river of blood. These Mongolian women cry out loudly by the terrifying scene in front of them while continuing to shoot bows and arrows on the city wall. The women who take the bow and archery rush to the range of the bow and arrow rarely have the chance to shoot arrows. Their bravery cannot exchange for the enemy's regression, but instead attract the Po Slave Army to brutal retaliation. The special crossbow cannons for mountain troops in the mountain troops are not far away, and they have to cross the high city wall for curved shooting, which requires the crossbow cannons to be transported within a hundred feet outside the city wall. Since the artillery leader Yang Meimei invented the tactic of using crossbows to attack the enemy, crossbow cannons have been the focus of the usual training of the artillery team. Under the guidance of Zhu Sibai, the high explosion* was accurately shot into the inner Mongolian woman archers.
The high explosion of the slave army was amazing. Zhu Sibai, according to the usual tactics of artillery team, was to attack densely crowded areas, and only one round of artillery went down to the city's resistance collapsed instantly. When the Liuqingshan Mountain troops sent people to attack westward, Tian Peng, the main general who had been tolerant, used the same tactics to first use high-sized * to ignite the Huihui cannons on both sides of the city gate, and then built a solid attack position here. Tian Peng, who was attacking here, fell in love with Helin's western gate. The Huihui cannon could not turn and knock down more than ten Huihui cannons on both sides of the city gate, and the defense of the Ximen was weakened by half. Tian Peng believed that the decisive chariot was too complicated to travel, so he asked a team of ten dead soldiers to form a small formation for transporting * barrels to transport * to the gate of Helin's western gate.
However, Tian Peng's approach is not small. Under the cover of continuous firepower of the musket soldiers, the Mongolian defenders at the city gate could only hide behind the battlements in the battlements in the face of the lead bullets that were smashed like rain. They could only hide behind the battlements. Seeing eight people holding their shields to their heads and guarding two people holding a wooden barrel approaching the city gate, Mongolia began to throw stones and giant trees under the city wall. Although the Mongolian bows and arrows could not shoot through the shields, more than a dozen pounds of stones could break the hands of the dead soldiers in the Pou Nu Army holding the shields. The Pou Nu Army's muskets were densely packed with lead bullets and could not stop the Mongols from smashing stones under the city wall. A Mongolian defender had his head broken by the lead bullets, and it was covered with grayish whiteness, but his companions around him still struggled to throw stones down.
As the Mongolian defenders increased their casualties, they also learned how to avoid lead bullets in the war. Anyway, the lead bullets of the Borguns' muskets could not penetrate the walls, and the Mongolian defenders turned back to throw stones back against the walls. The Borguns' lead bullets were so dense that the stones they threw were even shattered by the lead bullets in the air. The Borguns' army transported the * barrel dead soldiers team, which was also killed and injured by the stones thrown on the city wall. The three squads were smashed by the stones and commander Tian Peng had to order to stop the attack and adjust the tactics. Tian Peng transferred more than 100 sharp shooters from the rear, each with two loaders, formed a small front-line sniper formation, and canceled the shield squad, but sent the * barrel in a group of four people.
As the musket soldiers on the front line of the Pou Slave Army clamored, the stones on the city wall were like rain, and the dead soldiers who sent the bucket were anxiously waiting for the defenders to exhaust their strength. In front of them, there were sharpshooters in the Pou Slave Army sniping, and behind them, a large number of musket soldiers continued to maintain a high-pressure state, which made the Mongols guarding the city gate unable to look up. As time went by, the Mongols' stone casting speed slowed down, and the sharpshooters sniped all observation posts. The dead soldiers quickly carried buckets into the city gate hole with the noisy sound of muskets on the battlefield. After ten or fifty-four-threatening buckets were transported, the last two dead soldiers came out, one poured the oil from the oil barrel on the body on the bucket, and the other scattered the small buckets around.
After all this, the two dead soldiers looked at each other. After the death camp, they could return to the ranks of war soldiers. In fact, they knew in their hearts that they had to run back alive to be considered as completing the death camp. Just as they rushed out of the door hole a few steps, the two dead soldiers failed to survive and were killed by stones on the city tower. Looking at the white* deceased soldiers who fell to the ground, the commander Hu Weizhong, who was commanding here, had to order to give up the rescue. While ordering the three thousand musketeers to suspend the shooting of the cooled musketeers and clean up the residue, they arranged the attack directions of the two thousand generals again. After everything was arranged, Hu Weizhong ordered the troops to retreat a hundred feet away from the city wall, leaving only sharpshooters and twenty rocket shooters on the front line.
The tense environment of the war easily makes people ignore many details. The Pou Nu Army used a decisive chariot to blow up the city wall in the south city, which was known by the Mongolian defenders. However, on the west wall, the Mongols have always focused on the two and a half miles away army formations of Tian Peng's troops. There were several Lele chariots that were suspected to be able to explode. They just ignored the dead soldiers of the Pou Nu Army running out of the city gate. Helin City Gate had not built the urn city since the construction of the Helin City Gate. Perhaps it was because the Khan of Ogedei was extremely confident about the future of Mongolia at that time. The Han people's strong defenses were quite suspicious of being timid and were disliked by Ogedei very early. Without the urn city, the Pou Nu Army would have less trouble. Twenty shooters who released rockets shot at the city gate, which was seven feet wide, and almost no deviated from it.
After igniting the fire on the west gate, all the Ponu Army began to evacuate quickly outside the west. After all, more than ten fifty-pound buckets were placed in the city gate hole, and the power of the explosion was quite great. After a loud "boom", the Helin-Weinian City Gate was demolished by the Ponu Army. At this point, the capital built by the Great Khan of Ogedei, Mongolia was like a half-old Xumian, who was stripped of his robe by the Ponu Army. The Zuo Erya army sent an army of 5,000 people and a 3,000 cavalry unit of Liu Qingshan. After receiving the orders from their respective generals, they successfully joined forces on the east wall. After the two battalions of cavalry met outside the east gate, they completely blocked the last way out of the Helin-Weinian City Gate and fully encircled Helin City. The Ponu Army did not intend to let any Mongolians in Helin City. (To be continued)
