Yesterday, the Fourth Division was on duty at the city head. As the commander of the army, Du Wenhuan personally commanded the city head. He hoped that after Jian slaves suffered a loss, he would come to the city for revenge today.
But Jiannu seemed to see through his mind and didn't show up under the city at all. Du Wenhuan was so angry that Du Wenhuan yelled: "These Jiannus have suffered a little loss, just like tortoises, they have been retracted into their shells. Do you still have the backbone of a soldier? ?"
But cursing and cursing, Jiannu did not appear, and he did not dare to leave the city. Yue Tuo's main force was outside the city. If he talked about field battles, he was not sure to defeat Yue Tuo's cavalry.
After dawn, Liu Yushu's third division replaced the fourth division.
Liu Yushu quickly deployed defenses at the four city gates, with the focus still on the north gate.
At the hour, Liu Yushua came to the North City Gate to inspect, and the soldiers were silently watching the great tent of building slaves in the distance.
"The division seat is here." The soldiers clamored to salute Liu Yusab.
Liu Yushuo waved his hand, "Xiao Xian, is there any movement in Jian Slave?"
"Not yet, Master, will Jiannu come to attack the city today?"
"God knows what these people with pig tails think." Liu Yusuo subconsciously glanced at Jiannu's big account, too far away to see nothing, "Xianxian, are you afraid?"
The soldier who called Xiaoxian scratched his head, smirked, and shook his head: "Aren't you afraid?"
"Why? Now it is the main force for establishing slaves and setting red flags."
"Building slaves is not as powerful as in the legend. They will bleed and die." Xiaoxian met Liu Yusuo's gaze: "Besides, how can there be military merits if you don't fight?"
"Haha, Xiaoxian is right. There is no military merit if you don’t fight." Liu Yusu was amused. At this tense moment, it is rare to relax, "Xiaoxian, after you have gained military merit and won the silver reward, you most want to do it. what?"
"My mother said, if there is a reward, she will... marry the Li family's daughter-in-law." Xiaoxian was so shy that her head was almost buried in her chest, and her face was flushed, just like the first time. Meet the mate's bride.
"Haha, your mother is right," Liu Yusuo patted Xiaoxian on the shoulder, "Wait until the day of marrying my wife, tell me, I will definitely drink your wedding wine, and I will marry you."
"Thank you, Master, Xiaoxian must remember the words of the Master." Xiaoxian raised his head and looked at Liu Yusab eagerly. He is the lowest-ranking soldier of the Ming Dynasty. It is a great honor to be honored by the Master. The victory is still beautiful.
"Definitely, definitely." Liu Yusuo signed a ticket, "Xianxian, you have to save enough money to marry a wife."
"Yes, Master." Xiaoxian stood straight and saluted Liu Yusuo, "Xiaoxian must strive to be rewarded for meritorious service, for fear that he would not dare to come."
"Xiao Xian, the establishment of a slave is here, and your wish is about to come true."
"Where?" Xiaoxian looked at Jianu's big tent, but he couldn't see Jianu's cavalry.
"Look, in the direction of the slave building, the dust that has been raised has gone to the sky. The ground is wet this morning. It can raise so much dust. The slave cavalry must have a large-scale operation, Xiaoxian, you go Tell everyone, be prepared, the opportunity to do meritorious service is here." Liu Yushu asked his soldiers to inform Yuan Chonghuan.
Yuan Chonghuan came to the head of the city soon, "Jade bolt, has the slave building come?"
Liu Yuzha kept moving forward, "Military seat, coming soon, you can already see the figure of a slave."
Yuan Chonghuan looked in the direction of Liu Yusab's fingers, and indeed Jiannu's figure had appeared, but it was far away. Jiannu, together with the horse under him, looked about the size of a hare.
"Jade bolt, the speed of building slaves doesn't seem to be fast? Aren't they charging?"
Liu Yusu looked at it. Jianu's marching speed was indeed very slow. It didn't seem like a cavalry was galloping, and even the dust raised up was gone. "Huh? What's the matter?"
Yuan Chonghuan slowly retracted his gaze, "Don't worry about building slaves, let the gunner prepare. If Yue Tuo's main force comes, the artillery will have to be used."
"Yes, Army Seat." Liu Yushu went down to arrange for the gunner to go.
Jiannu's cavalry stopped 1,500 paces away. According to the Ming army's current artillery range, they were just within reach, but Yuan Chonghuan wanted to see Jiannu's movements, so he didn't order to fire.
The foremost Jian slaves came down from their horses one after another, Halleha knelt in front of a tall bay red horse on one leg: "Master Belle!"
Yue Tuo on the red horse looked at Jinzhou City in the distance, "Haleha, you take the soldiers, and you must send the ladder to the city at all costs. I will shoot people to pick you up at critical moments."
"Yes, Lord Belle!" Halleha gave Yue Tuo a fist.
Haleha originally had more than 700 soldiers, but they were compiled by Yue Tuo into two full-staffed Niu Lu. The rest of the soldiers, together with the wounded, were protecting the Chinese army's tent.
Six hundred Jurchen soldiers formed a large array of shields, each with a ladder.
The shield formation began to slowly move towards the city, and the Jurchen soldiers were hiding in the formation.
"Military seat, Jiannu has a total of twelve shield formations. This kind of shield formation cannot be penetrated by our flintlocks."
Yuan Chonghuan frowned, "Then use artillery and pass the order down. A group of five artillery can strike one shield."
Yuan Chonghuan brought a total of thirty-five artillery pieces, of which five were arranged at the east, west, and south gates. The north gate was the key point. Twenty artillery pieces were arranged. In addition, Ningyuan City could only fire ten solid rounds. There are thirty doors in total.
Thirty artillery aimed at six shield arrays.
"Launch." Yuan Chonghuan finally gave the order.
"Boom... Long."
"Boom... Long."
"Boom... Long."
…
Thirty artillery fired almost simultaneously.
Of the ten solid bullets, two directly hit the shield formation. They entered the formation from the top. After hitting a few soldiers, they came out from behind and rolled on the ground for a long time until the blood on the surface was wiped clean. After cleaning up, he stopped slowly; one hit the shield directly from the front, pressed several people holding the shield directly onto the ladder, broke his arms, thighs and waist, and rolled out of the head; there were also a few solid hearts. The bullet hit the edge of the shield array and knocked down several soldiers. The most unlucky was the soldier on the far left of the shield array. The solid bullet hit the waist directly without shield protection, and the solid bullet directly pierced the waist.
Compared with solid bullets, flowering bullets are much more powerful.
Five blooming bombs fell on the outer edge of the shield array. Although they did not directly hit the soldiers, the huge air wave generated when the bloom bombs exploded pushed the soldiers to this area, and the shrapnel that flew out left this area without any protection. The soldiers were covered with blood, and even the leather armor was cut to pieces.
Three flowering bombs landed directly in the center of the shield array. The explosion of gunpowder broke the soldiers around the bombing bomb’s landing point to pieces. The huge air wave rushed these broken bodies in all directions. Some soldiers were still affected by these mutilated bodies. Hit it forward or backward a few steps, and then fell to the ground.
Of these three blooming bombs, two fell in the same shield formation. Not only were the soldiers looted, but the large ladder was also blown into two pieces, and the breaks hit the soldiers again, causing countless splashes. Of blood.
Haleha didn't look at the wounded soldiers on the ground. He kept urging the soldiers: "Hurry up, hurry up, as long as you get into the range of the bow and arrow, you are the world of our Jurchens."
The movement speed of the shield formation has been significantly accelerated.
However, the movement speed of the infantry could not be compared with that of the cavalry. The artillery of the Ming army had time to adjust the muzzle.
"Boom... Long."
"Boom... Long."
"Boom... Long."
…
Harleha’s speed is getting faster and faster, but his soldiers are getting more and more casualties. Soldiers with two shield formations were almost shot to death, two shield formations were maimed, and several shield formations had Of the twelve siege ladders with varying degrees of damage, four of them were completely broken and damaged, and one was seriously damaged.
Yue Tuo was still sitting on the horse, and seeing the Jurchen soldiers continuously falling under the artillery fire of the Ming army, he frowned: When did the artillery of the Ming army be so powerful? He seems to have forgotten the encounter with Yuan Chonghuan outside Jinzhou City.
Yue Tuo didn't care about the death of Haleha. Haleha had lost so many soldiers. He should have died long ago. It was his honor to die on the battlefield. Yue Tuohan's heart is the Jurchen soldiers who keep falling. They are the capital of the Golden Kingdom to dominate, as well as the ladder for siege of the city. Without the ladder, they would not be able to climb to the head of Jinzhou.
Seeing from a distance that the ladder was damaged by artillery fire, Yue Tuo was anxious, this damn Haleha, why didn't he protect the ladder, if the ladder was damaged, Haleha would be the sinner of the Great Golden Kingdom.
Yue Tuo suddenly discovered that the artillery fire of the Ming army had stopped. "What happened to the Ming army? So far, they should have no loss of personnel. Is there no shells?"
Zuomer Udabu was also puzzled. Suddenly, he exclaimed with excitement: "Master Belle, it's too close to the artillery, but the artillery can't strike."
Only then did Yue Tuo remember that the artillery had blind spots for shooting because it was too large and inconvenient to move. "Well, Haleha is finally about to reach the city wall. Be prepared to immediately reinforce Haleha once the ladder reaches the city wall. Ha. Leha, that's great, it deserves to be the bravest Jia La Erzhen in the Dajin Nation."
"Boom... Long."
"Boom... Long."
"Boom... Long."
…
As soon as Yue Tuo's voice fell, the Ming Army's artillery rang again, and the flaming bombs, with a faint fiery red color, drew beautiful arcs, connecting from the city to Yue Tuo's side like a rainbow.
"Not good." Yue Tuo yelled, leaped sideways to the ground, and rolled on the ground a few more times before he could withstand the flying bomb.
He was still in shock. He got up and glanced at his horse. A blooming bomb exploded less than five steps away from the horse. The fragments of the explosion made countless scars on the neck of the horse, and blood was gurgling from the scars. After coming out, the war horse hit a violent spirit, raised its front legs, croaked up to the sky, and fell heavily to the ground.
Zuo Maile, who was talking with Yue Tuo just now, really made it up. His right leg and right shoulder were also scratched by shrapnel, and he was snarling his teeth against the wound.
"How could the artillery of the Ming army shoot so far?" Yue Tuo once again estimated the distance from here to the city wall, yes, 1,500 steps.
"Master Belle?" Wudabu looked at Yue Tuo who was absent-minded: "The artillery of the Ming army will still fire, what should I do?"
"Come here?" Yue Tuo came to his senses. It is not the time to consider the range of the Ming Army's artillery. The Ming Army may launch a new round of shelling at any time. "Ahead, there is a blind spot for artillery."
