When Yue Jingsheng talked about shields, Li Xing remembered that in Ningyuan City, there were shields in the barracks where slaves were built. "Quickly, take out the shields from the general camp."
Li Xing's soldiers immediately left the city and ran towards the city.
There were more than 1,000 soldiers in rotation in the city. They were ordered by Li Xing to immediately open the armory and send more than 300 shields left by Jian slaves in the city to the top of the city.
The gunmen on the head of the city got their shields and felt a little calm in their hearts. They held the shields to defend against the arrows from the air.
With a city wall in front and a shield above his head, the gunmen are basically safe.
Although Li Xing solved the defense problem of the gunmen, the gunmen were unable to attack, and their flintlocks couldn't penetrate Jianu's shield.
Jiannu was at sixty steps below the city, within the range of the flintlock, beside the gunmen's couch, but the gunmen had nothing to do.
Li Xing was in a hurry.
However, under the blow of the flintlock gun, Jiannu couldn't make any further progress. Yue Jingsheng found that Jiannu hid behind the shield and shot blindly at the head of the city.
Li Xing poked his head out of the crenellation. He saw a dozen monsters wrapped in shields under the city.
Now in the balance period, the Ming army’s flintlocks are no threat to Jian slaves, as long as they don’t leave the shield protection; Jian slave’s bows and arrows do not actually threaten the Ming army on the city, as long as the soldiers don’t leave the city walls. And shield protection circle.
The arrow pierced the air violently, and then slowly fell from the sky, looking down on the shield; the bullet of the flintlock also weakly hit the shield under the city.
But relying on shields to protect slaves, under the eyes of the Ming army, they could launch an attack on the city at any time.
The sky gradually darkened, and Li Xing could not see that the soldiers of Sukhbaru were shooting arrows in turn. Soldiers who did not shoot arrows took advantage of the rest, eating beef and mutton and drinking kumiss.
About a minute later, the ineffective shots from both sides gradually became thinner.
Nearly two hours later, a soldier at the head of the city suddenly noticed that Jiannu's shield seemed to be moving. He rubbed his eyes. That's right, Jiannu's huge shield array was indeed moving forward.
"No, Jian Slave is going to siege the city."
The shouts of the soldiers alarmed all the soldiers on the front of the city. Li Xing, who had just taken a nap at the front of the city, was also awakened.
Li Xing couldn't wait to move the stones quickly and crush these slaves into meatloaf. But with anger and anger, no one can throw the big rock so far.
Jian Slave's shield array approached the city wall little by little.
If Jian slaves kill the upper city, with the melee ability of the first brigade, they will not be an opponent of slave building. The New Army of Ming Dynasty pays attention to firearms and has no special training in hand-to-hand combat ability.
The staff officer Yue Jingsheng couldn't take a break, and came to the city again to fight alongside Li Xing.
The building of slaves is really coming under the city, and the ladder has been up the city wall. Several gunmen picked up the tines and tried to push them to the ladder.
The gunman's body was free from the shield and the protection of the city wall.
"Whizzing."
The arrow caught the strong wind, and suddenly shot them into hedgehogs.
Several slave soldiers, with shields wrapped in raw leather on their heads, began to climb the ladder towards the top of the city.
Li Xing grabbed the flintlock in the soldier's hand and was about to shoot it himself.
"Brigade seat," Yue Jingsheng pulled Li Xing back behind the city wall, "We still have grenades." He shook a bunch of twenty grenades tied together in front of Li Xing.
"Grenade?" Li Xing patted his head. Why did he forget the grenade when he was anxious? He grabbed the bunch of grenades, quickly pulled out the lead, stayed in his hand for a while, and then threw it down the ladder.
"Boom... Long..."
The sound of the whole day blew up the slaves and shields on the ladder, and the ladder was also blown into two.
The gunmen did not let go of this short opportunity. After a mess of guns, all the slaves under this shield lost their movement.
Li Xing looked at Yue Jingsheng: "The staff still has a way."
Yue Jingsheng smiled: "Your Majesty still has a way. If there is no grenade, it will be difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice." He turned and ordered the soldiers beside him: "Make more bombs like this."
"Brigade seat, there is another slave-building shield array near the city wall." The observer pointed at the front-most Jian-slave.
A strong soldier picked up a bunch of grenade, pulled out the lead, and threw it towards Jian slave's shield formation.
"Boom... Long..."
There was another loud noise, and the skyrocketing fire completely submerged the entire Jian slave shield array.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
The gunmen only fired at the fire.
The explosion and vibration of gunpowder, the flying shrapnel, the burn and suffocation of high temperature, the re-fire of the flintlock...
Another shield formation that built slaves was completely reimbursed.
The Jianu behind was too far away from the city wall, and the soldiers could not throw the grenades over. Some soldiers grabbed a grenade, pulled out the lead wire, and threw the grenade at Jianu.
Following these grenades are dense flintlock bullets.
Once Jianu's shield array became loose, he would be fired mercilessly with flintlock guns. Even if the shieldman was not injured or panicked, he was half-deadly scared under the double blow of the grenade and flintlock guns.
Sukhbaru looked at the flames in front of him, and he felt fear for the first time: "Who can tell me what happened? What weapon did the Ming army use?"
No one can answer.
The night wind on the battlefield quickly blew his voice away, and the explosion on the battlefield quickly annihilated his voice.
Daming did not know about building slaves, and building slaves also did not understand Daming, and did not understand Daming’s latest firearms.
Ori’s face is not gloomy. Just now, the Jurchen soldiers were close to the city wall and even climbed the ladder. As long as the heroic Jurchen soldiers stepped forward and climbed to the top of the city in Ningyuan, Ori didn’t believe that the Ming Dynasty tofu army was in Jurchen. In front of the soldier's scimitar, there is only one part of defeat and rout. Na Ning Yuan will return to the embrace of the Great Golden Kingdom, but now...
"Um, let's withdraw the troops! The soldiers have already suffered more than half of the casualties." Wuli was not so unwilling, but still couldn't help but say it.
"More than half of the casualties?" Sukhbaru grabbed the collar of Wolibu, wishing to swallow him like cooked beef, "No, why didn't you say it earlier?"
Without slumping his eyes, he looked desperately at his riding boots, allowing Sukhbaru to show off on his collar.
"More than half of the casualties?" Sukhbaru muttered, "No, how do you tell me to explain to the banner owner? No, I must take back Ning Yuan and avenge the lost brother."
"Uh, even if you want to win Ningyuan, you have to wait until tomorrow. Now the battlefield is full of our wounded soldiers. They need to be treated and need to rest. Bless you, they are bleeding. If you can't get timely treatment, their The blood will drain, and their bodies will slowly stiffen.” Uribu gently opened Sukhbaru and grabbed his right hand by the collar.
As Sukhbaru released his right hand, his body seemed to fall apart, and he looked blankly at the dark battlefield.
Seeing nothing, the Ming army has stopped throwing grenades down the city.
But Sukhbaru could hear the wailing and moaning of wounded soldiers everywhere.
"Um, while it's dark, we just took the wounded brothers back. How dawn is coming--these brothers probably won't be able to wait for dawn." The heart of Wulibu, like the wounded soldiers, is constantly on the move. Dripping blood. In just half a day, more than half of his soldiers were casualties. This was absolutely nothing before.
He directly filtered the Niu Lu of the Han Army that had been completely destroyed. If the Niu Lu of the Han Army was added, the casualties of his soldiers would have been close to 60%. If it were placed in the Ming Army, the entire army would lose its combat effectiveness with such a large casualty. .
Sukhbaru hid behind the shield, pacing with his hands on his back, shaking his fat body constantly.
"Um, give the order! The wounded soldiers can't wait long." Ori didn't know that Sukhbaru was ready to retreat, he just needed a reason.
Sukhbaru's lost eyes looked at Oribu.
Ori didn’t nod his head: “Uh, true, we did not fail. We just let the wounded soldiers get timely treatment and get the rest they hope most. If the wounded soldiers cannot be sent back to the big tent in time, they will either be frozen to death or because of blood. Drain to death-after dawn tomorrow, we will launch the next round of attacks."
Sukhbaru's muddy eyes lit up suddenly: "We will attack tomorrow, and we must take back our Ning Yuan." He waved to the Chuan Lingbing: "Secretly, we retreat slowly and bring it with you. All wounded soldiers."
"Well, what about the brothers who have died?"
"Asshole, take the wounded soldier back for treatment first, Ning Yuan will be ours sooner or later, and the corpse won't run away." Sukhbaru was so angry that he kicked the soldier so badly that he could not comfort him. , Slowly retreat with the shield.
There were too many wounded soldiers on the ground, and the soldiers couldn't carry them back one by one. He didn't give an order, first picked the lighter wounded and retreated to the big account.
"Brigade seat, the slave building has withdrawn." The observers discovered the abnormal movement of the slave building.
"Retreat?" Li Xing looked down from the crenel, but it was dark outside, and there was nothing to see. "Aren't they pretending to retreat?"
"This... the subordinates don't know, but they are indeed retreating."
Other observations have proved that the establishment of slavery was retreating.
"Since Jianu retreats, they must pass the coverage of the artillery, send the soldiers, and let the gunners get ready." Li Xing was also very frustrated, and he almost made Jianu climb to the top of the city today.
The gunner quickly returned to his position.
"Brigade, Jiannu has entered the range of the artillery."
"Okay, shoot."
"Brigade seat, we can't see anything!" The moon hadn't risen, and the city was dark. The gunner couldn't see Jiannu, and of course he couldn't aim.
"Follow the closest range first, and then raise the muzzle according to the firelight's instructions, and fire the cannon step by step to the distance. Even if Jiannu can't be beaten, they are scared to piss off." Li Xing cursed, only artillery can make him relieve his breath. .
"Boom... Long..."
Eight artillery guns all bombarded the shadow of the city.
Jiannu had been frightened by the firearms of the Ming army. Except for the areas where Sukhbaru and Ori were not located, the other Jiannus had already dispersed their shield formations and Sayazi ran back.
Catch up with the wounded soldiers who are lucky enough to be on their way back before going back.
