Chapter 580 Blood Fire
The real attack began, and the first one to speak was still the cannon.
And just between the shelling, teams of soldiers from Dongjiang Town were arranged in neat formations and began to approach the city wall.
This time, Mao Kexi did not adopt the tactics of the last battle of Nanguan and used the entire army to suppress it. Instead, he used the thousand-man team as the main body to prepare for a ladder attack.
But I also absorbed the good methods in the last battle of Nanguan, and chose the best musketeers as a way to block the hunters of the enemy in the city, and suppress the enemies in the city.
The effect of cannons is almost gone in front of the ice wall. Every shell explodes, and only a dirty stain can be formed on the ice wall. Once there is a crack, countless Han soldiers will pour buckets of cold water down and repair it in a blink of an eye.
This situation not only did not make the enemy tremble in front of the artillery, but instead increased their confidence and will. The Han army actually dared to lean out, wave the military flag, and challenge the soldiers of Dongjiang Town under the city loudly, mocking them with all their hearts.
More shells crossed the city and flew into the city. This time, the cannons had little effect on the enemy at the city, but instead had better killing effects on enemies gathered behind the city as reserve team.
Mao Kexi frowned and observed the situation on the entire battlefield. Finally, he lamented in his heart: "It seems that this city can only be seized with blood."
The shelling stopped. With the loud sound of suona, Mao Kexi decisively waved his commanding knife. The soldiers of the First and Second Battalions carried the ladder and approached Jinzhou City with firm steps.
The carefully selected 1,000 sharpshooters also began to line up and approach the city wall.
They were holding the most perfect musket made by Dongjiang Town.
This kind of musket was specially created by Zhao Xing's later generations. It is the best sniper rifle of this era.
Of course, due to the limitations of technology, this so-called sniper rifle can only be just a name.
The only difference between it and ordinary rifles is that the barrel is lengthened, and the ammunition bin at the end is reinforced. This ensures that as much gunpowder is loaded as much as possible and the shooting distance is extended.
Due to these two strengthenings, the weight of this musket is increased and it looks bulky.
But this is not a face-to-face bayonet, such flaws are not considered flaws.
1,000 snipers, arranged outside the range of the enemy's bows and arrows, each tilted his head and stared nervously at the several battlements of the city walls he was responsible for. As long as the enemy dared to show their bodies, they must be killed.
The cannons that fought back on the city fired.
This time, in order to block the three main forces in Dongjiang Town, Huang Taiji also spent a lot of money to allocate his extremely precious cannons to the fifty gates of Jinzhou.
Although the sniper is outside the range of the enemy's bow and arrow, it cannot escape the attack of cannons. With each roar of cannons, the whistling shotgun swept down like a pouring rain, which will take away the lives of several soldiers under the city.
But none of the snipers under the city retreated, and it seemed that there was a cliff behind their feet.
The gunshots were scattered and each gunshot could almost take away an enemy's life. The originally crystal white and dazzling ice wall was slowly dyed red by bright red blood.
Under their suppression, the first batch of siege troops in Dongjiang Town approached the city wall without any damage, leaning on the cloud ladders built overnight against the city wall. A small team was responsible for supporting and resisting the ladder pushing hands on the city. A small team of 10 soldiers, carrying a bayonet rifle, stepped on the cloud ladder, and flew up.
The method of siege that was truly the most serious casualties and injuries began.
The enemies on the city held a long push rod and supported the ladder, shouting horns together, and began to push the ladder away from the city wall.
The soldiers below tried their best to stabilize the ladder.
As the two sides competed, there were still ladders after ladders that were pushed away from the city wall and fell staggeringly. Together with the soldiers climbing above, they fell on the cold and hard land like dumplings.
The ladder was pushed down and re-mounted. As long as the soldiers who fell to the ground could move, they would get up without hesitation and climb up the ladder again.
The two sides fought repeatedly.
A little soldier put himself on a bayonet rifle, and his back was crossed on his shoulder. He held a fire snatch in his mouth, and in his hand, there was a two-pound explosive pack.
He followed the brother in front of him with his face up and climbed up hard.
A Han army held a stone high and leaned out and prepared to smash it down under the pressure of the Jurchen Supervisor's team behind him.
As a result, as soon as his head was exposed to the city wall, a hot bullet flew under the city, hitting his face, blood splattered, and the guy screamed and fell.
"Go up, get up quickly and smash the enemy down." The Jurgent master was blood-red, waved his steel knife, forcing another Han army to rush to the battlement of the city wall with a turbulent tank.
This time he was very lucky that the bullet that flew up was missed, so he smashed the turbulent tank without looking at the target.
The turbulent oil tank was smashed open on the helmet of the first climbing soldier. The pottery pot cracked and the dripping turbulent oil fell like a waterfall. The brothers above fell staggeringly from the ladder.
The little warrior holding the explosive pack immediately filled the seat.
Halfway through, he put the explosive pack in his hand on the fire fold and ignited the fuse. The little soldier struggled to throw the explosive pack onto the top of the city without hesitation.
With a loud bang, a huge explosion sounded on the city. Thick smoke and fire, as well as the iron sand wrapped inside, swept the enemies on the city in an instant.
But at the moment when the smoke and fire flew violently, a Han army took advantage of the bad vision of the sniper under the city and rushed to the battlement and threw a torch down.
With a bang, the soldiers who had been covered in tinder oil ignited the ladder.
In a blink of an eye, the ladder became a burning fire stick. The soldiers attached to it also turned into fire people one by one, screaming and falling down.
The ladder was fallen, and a new ladder immediately filled up and leaned on the top of the city again. Another group of soldiers stepped onto the ladder without hesitation and rushed upwards.
The sniper Zhang Bainian was kicked hard by the captain on the butt: "You bastard, how can the battlements you are taking care of, let the enemy show up? How many brothers have you killed?"
Zhang Bainian did not answer, but raised the heavy sniper rifle again. This time, he could not deviate from any means, and he would never let the enemies on the top of the city hurt his brothers again.
The smoke from the city wall dissipated and his vision became clear. He saw an enemy flashing at the battlement.
Zhang Bainian did not pull the trigger because the timing was wrong and he was prone to fire an empty gun.
Once the empty gun is released and the ammunition is reloaded, it takes three or five breaths. In just this short time, the enemy may have a chance to take advantage of it.
A stone was thrown down by the enemy and hit the climbing brother's head. The brother's steel helmet was shrunk and fell straight down like a piece of wooden stake.
At this moment, another enemy appeared in the mercury with a turbulent tank in his arms.
Zhang Bainian seized the opportunity and pulled the trigger. The hot bullet hit the turbulent tank directly.
The clay pot was shattered and the tinder oil was poured over the city.
The brother who climbed the city seized this rare opportunity and had no time to ignite the explosive pack and threw the fire note in his mouth.
