Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Chapter 177: Offense and defense (16)

At the critical moment, Peng Dazhu, a hundred households in the guard camp, rushed over with a four-barreled gun. The gun was more than double the length of a normal fire gun, and the gun tube was much thicker. One shot was released like a small cannon. Just like opening fire, no matter how many layers of armor you wear, you will always be knocked over. . шщш.㈦㈨ⅹS.сом is updated very fast. ○ Even if it can't break your armor, the powerful impact will also break your bones.

However, this big gun has a fatal disadvantage, that is, it is easier to blow up than the general fire gun. Often, it will explode after a few guns are fired. Therefore, the Taiping army does not dare to use this big gun. It was not until Peng Dazhu brought reinforcements and saw that the iron armored soldiers of the Qing army were too strong, that he thought of the big guns coming, and hurriedly brought people to carry a few guns. As soon as he got on the plane, Peng Dazhu couldn't wait to roar: "Let's go!"

The gunmen were busy igniting the fire, and suddenly they heard a loud "bang, bang, bang", but there were only six sounds, and one gun actually muted!

The hand of the gun was strange, and when I looked at it, the gun suddenly rang again, and hit the door in front of him with a bang, blowing his face into a blur of blood and flesh. 'It all flew away, and the whole face looked like a skull, so it's not scary. The soldier hugged his face and screamed, and after a few shouts he swallowed.

This scene only frightened the gunners enough, and the gunners with the big guns were shaking all over, looking at the big guns in their hands with indescribable fear. The Taiping Army's guns were frightened, but the Qing army's iron armored soldiers were hit hard. There was a scream, and several iron armored soldiers were bombed and pushed back. Either the armor was broken or the chest was broken. Suffocation, like a sledgehammer, the bones are all broken.

"put!"

The six-barrel gun was fired again under the worries of the gunman, and the screams of the Qing army came from the city. It is roughly estimated that no less than ten iron armored soldiers were killed by the gun. Seeing that the firearms of the Taiping Army were so powerful, the iron armored soldiers dared not stay in place, and instinctively retreated, the farther away from the city, the better.

Several corridors leading to the city wall were filled with young men who carried corpses and wounded soldiers back and forth, and several corridors were covered in blood. The Langzhong under the city could not be rescued at all.

As the number of wounded and corpses increased, the old and weak 'women' and children in the rear camp began to become uneasy and frightened. Looking around, I was afraid to see the Qing army climb up. Fortunately, the front camp fought tenaciously, and although the casualties were heavy, the Qing army did not rush up.

By the time the battle was over, the prison camp had already been destroyed. There are only a hundred people left in the entire battalion, and among them there are dozens of injured people who have not yet entered the city. Jiang He's guard battalion is not much better. Rough statistics, I am afraid that there are less than 300 people, and there are inexperienced security guards. Dozens of members died as soon as they came up, and more than half of those young men died.

Most of Zhou Shixiang's personal guards were also killed in the battle, and only six were with him. Such a large number of casualties naturally made the defense line on the city unstable. Zhou Shixiang immediately ordered Xiongwei, Yuzhen, and Hujie Battalion to deploy reinforcements, otherwise the Qing army's offensive under the city could not be suppressed.

After the reinforcements from the third battalion of Xiongwei, who had been on standby for a long time, came to the head of the city, the momentum of the Qing army's ascent to the city was suppressed again, and dozens of ladders were destroyed. Morale is a little low.

The city was attacked really badly. The corpses of the Qing army were piled under the two-mile-wide city wall, although most of them were green battalion soldiers, not flag soldiers. Although the soldiers of this family suffered hundreds of casualties, they were not injured, but Qin Guocheng regretted the casualties. I was a little hesitant about whether to continue the attack.

With more and more casualties, the Taiping army in the city can't see the trend of exhaustion. Qin Guocheng has a bad feeling. He feels that this new club seems to be unable to win today no matter what, and will continue to fight. , Maybe the blood of this family's soldiers will really be drained in this Xinhui City. However, he boasted about Haikou, and if he did not win the Xinhui, Qin Guocheng had to raise his head to see King Pingnan, so no matter how badly he fought, Qin Guocheng would never dare to say the order to retreat. We can only force ourselves to be calm, and constantly send people to urge the ministries to strengthen their attacks.

See also that Geng Zhongde's 500 upright yellow flag soldiers did not attack the city, they only fired arrows on the imperial city, and the casualties were very small. Go and order Geng Zhongde to attack the city immediately, and at the same time send someone to ask for reinforcements from King Pingnan.

Without an order to retreat, the Qing army could only continue to attack the city, but its momentum was obviously not as good as before.

On the city, the boiling oil in the cauldron was already hot. Seeing the Qing army gathered again, the officers of the Taiping Army hurriedly waved to the young men who were boiling the oil. Immediately, the six young men lifted the cauldron with iron rods, slowly lifted it to the edge of the crenel, and then slammed it down to the city.

The six cauldrons fell at the same time, the boiling hot oil poured down like waterfalls, and there was a terrible cry from the city. The soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, who were poured on the head with hot oil, were scalded to the point of 'flesh'. They were not like those iron armored soldiers, but wore a simple piece of cotton armor. How could the thin cotton armor stand? This hot oil!

The cotton armor was also scalded to the point of "chi chi", and the battalion soldiers without armor were even worse. A face was instantly scalded, as if they were cooked, red and tender... and their hands were full of Bubbles, pieces of red skin were separated from the 'meat', and they were just piled up one by one.

The soldiers and the armored soldiers were better, but they were frightened by the scalded battalion soldiers. No matter how brave they were, seeing this terrifying scene, they couldn't help showing a hesitant look on their faces.

From time to time, the Taiping army smashed down the wood on the city wall, and stones of different sizes also fell here and there, causing a lot of casualties to the Qing soldiers who climbed the city, and also brought a lot of damage to the Qing soldiers who were already demoralized. fear.

The Qing army began to cower. They no longer dared to climb up boldly, nor dared to bite the bullet and gather under the city. At first, only a group of battalion soldiers were retreating, and then the flag soldiers were also retreating.

Seeing this, Qin Guocheng was furious, raised his hand, and suddenly the only dozen or so Goshha behind him drew bows and arrows, aiming at the retreating companions.

"Those who retreat, kill without mercy!"

"Go back! Go back!"

Qin Guocheng drew his sword and roared loudly. The Goshhas also began to tighten the bowstrings in their hands. Looking at the sharp arrows, listening to the roar of the capital, the Qing soldiers had no choice but to muster their courage again. Picking up the ladder from the ground with his scalp, he turned back and leaned against the city wall again.

"superior!"

Under the orders and coercion of the officers, whether it was a battalion or a Qing soldier, they were all shouted and climbed up the ladder. But before they had climbed halfway, the Taiping army on the city poured the hot oil down again, so hot that the Qing soldiers on the cloud ladder fell down. The Qing soldiers on the other ladders on the side saw that they were so frightened that they wanted to climb down, but there were people under their feet, so they could get down.

He looked at the crenel in fear. My heart is in my throat, the gods are pitiful, I waited for a while, but I didn't see the Taiping army pouring hot oil on the city head!

"They're oily, they're oily!"

The Qing soldiers cheered as if they had escaped death. The city was out of oil, and the city was out of oil!

It's not that there is no oil in the city, but it's still not hot, and it won't burn people to death if you fall down.

The Qing troops under the city rallied, and more than 100 soldiers climbed up from more than a dozen ladders. Those ladders are full of oil. Step on it with one foot and it slips straight, using both hands and feet, so that you can barely stand firm.

"Come on, come on!"

The officers roared impatiently. As soon as one climbed up, the other pushed up, lest the Taiping army would pour oil again if they were not quicker.

However, when the top soldier on the ladder was once again very close to the crenel, the Taiping army's guns fired again. In a burst of gunpowder smoke, more than a dozen soldiers of the family fell from the ladder screaming in agony. But there were also some who were not injured. Instead, a spirit of 'excitement' quickly climbed up again. Stones, wood blocks. The city bricks, everything that could be fatal in the city was smashed down by the Taiping army.

Under the city, the arrows of the Qing army were constantly 'shooting' towards the city, suffering from too many arrows in the Qing army. The Taiping army could only be passively defended. Gradually, there were fewer and fewer Taiping troops in some crenels.

Shi Ting 'Jade', the leader of the family's military association, has more than 100 men. Unexpectedly, before they got close to the city wall, more than ten people were injured or killed, all of them died under the artillery fire of the Taiping Army at the head of the city. The city, and when the offensive was not smooth, resolutely took the lead and climbed the ladder.

As a co-leader, Shi Ting's Jade's body armor is better than that of Qin Guocheng's personal soldiers, the innermost layer of chain armor, and then a layer of iron-lined cotton armor. Under the protection of this double-layered armor, the fire guns and bows and arrows of the Taiping Army could not be used. However, he was wearing several tens of kilograms of armor, which made Shi Ting 'Jade' breathless and sweaty, as if he was in a stuffy box.

Now Shi Ting 'Jade' no longer hopes to make any great achievements, but only hopes to capture the city as soon as possible, so as to end everything in front of him. He had had enough of this nightmarish battle. ??

Cangtian pays off, encouraged by Shi Xianda's 'Jade' leader, there are actually a few soldiers of the family who are on the ladder to climb to the top of the city.

........

There were heavy casualties in the front, and Ban Zhifu and other generals in the back couldn't hold their breath, especially when he saw that there were not many soldiers left in his family, Ban Zhifu was so anxious that he grabbed Shang Kexi's hand and persuaded: "My lord, This city can't be attacked any more, and if we attack it again, it will be completely wiped out! My lord, let's take people down first!"

The deputy commander Wang Guohui, the clerk Zhou Bingzheng and others also persuaded them one after another. Shang Zhixin did not persuade him, but the helpless expression on his face could not be more obvious.

Not only did the generals not want to attack, but the ordinary Qing soldiers also did not want to stay under this Xinhui city for another second. Huge casualties~www.NovelMTL.com~ have exceeded their psychological expectations. If they can't break through and continue to fight like this, I'm afraid it won't take long, even if they put a knife on their necks, and the Qing soldiers will also broke down.

Xinhui, who was alone and guarded, actually caused himself to lose so many people. Is the Taiping army in this city really just a lonely army of no more than two or three thousand people, and the leader of the army is really a bandit?

The tenacious fighting power shown by the defenders has made Shang Kexi doubt the real situation of the Taiping Army in the city. Ban Zhifu's persuasion finally calmed him down and hesitated, but found that some soldiers on the ladder were about to attack. After going up, he immediately stopped hesitating, pointed at it with the telescopic mirror, and shouted: "Take it, take it!"

Following Shang Kexi's gesture, Ban Zhifu and the others were also stunned, only to see three cloud ladders standing in one place, and the soldiers of the family on the cloud ladders were continuously climbing up the city from there.

Then who was the first to ascend to the top of the city, who was not the co-leader Shi Ting 'Jade'? !

.........

The fly in the ointment of this military parade is that the director's camera does not seem to be perfect, and it cannot fully show the spectacle of the split. In addition, a certain tribe wearing a white hat seems to appear too frequently on the camera, which makes people feel as disgusting as eating flies. ,
