Chapter 62 Attack 2

Because cloth is also a very valuable thing now, especially in the winter in the north, it is a scarce material. Even the rich Yu army can't get too much cloth. As for the sacks and straw bags, it is impossible to prepare in large quantities. In this way, it is impossible for the Yu family army to get too many sandbags and waste a lot of resources. The cost is here, so cloth bags are materials that need to be recycled. After the recruits arrive at the moat, they can only pour the soil in the cloth bags into the moat, which is somewhat troublesome, but they can save a lot of cloth bags.

As long as the soil is dumped, the recruits will run back, then go back to load the soil and continue to carry it to fill the moat.

Under such repetition, more and more earth and rocks have been filled into the moat. Under the accumulation, the moat in three places is gradually filled with a passage.

The officers and soldiers in the city looked anxiously, and were even more anxious. They shouted at the generals with their feet, so that they immediately found a way to stop the Yu family's army from filling the moat. If anyone is afraid of the enemy to avoid the war, he will engage in military law.

In a word, Gao Qiqian is anxious and red-eyed. If it continues to develop like this, it may not be possible to guard the Chaoyang Gate. Once Yu's army attacks the city, he will have to land his head. He is not in a hurry to worry about who is anxious, so Gao Qiqian is as anxious as a mad dog at this time, which is simply to catch whoever he bites.

The military generals were also very unhappy, but they did not dare to disobey. They had to force those officers and soldiers to block them desperately. However, as soon as they appeared, they were killed and injured. In addition, they all felt that it was not worth working for the high potential, so their resistance could never be raised. No matter whether the generals were whipped and kicked, the soldiers refused to show their heads. .

Two generals were unconvinced and became heroes. They jumped high and shot their bows and arrows at the city, but as soon as they shot over two soldiers who were filling the river, one of them was blown up in the head, the other was opened in the chest, and the body fell on the wall with a grunt. One guy even fell down the city directly. The body fell heavily on the wall.

As a result, the soldiers were so scared that they did not dare to rise. Next, the army was even more ruthless. The officer ordered each * hand to keep an eye on a stack. As long as they saw someone showing their head, they would immediately shoot. A large number of * hands approached the side of the moat, relying on those refusing horses in the city to cover their bodies and set up rifles. They all stared at the stack, and now they don't even have to shoot together, so they simply aim and shoot accurately.

As a result, he dared not even show his head. Just after firing a few shots, it completely stopped again. To this extent, even Yu Xiaotian looked at it ridiculous. It turned out that he was worried that the attacking troops would be counterattacked by relatively fierce artillery fire, which would cause great injuries to his brothers. He died, but now it seems that he still overestimates the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers.

Another generation gap in weapons has also caused the present situation. Yu Jiajun's artillery has completely suppressed the defenders' artillery fire. The rifle has high precision and long range, and it can directly seal the mouth, so that the officers and soldiers can only be beaten even if they have cover.

The tactics used by the officers and soldiers are now basically completely invalid in the face of the tactics of the family army, so it is not surprising that the battle has been fought like this, not to mention that the morale of the officers and soldiers is very low.

In fact, the city defense of Beijing is still quite strict on the whole, and the facilities are also very complete. Although a lot of wooden women's walls have been knocked out under the city, which are specially prepared to be used to replace them in the city when the women's walls are destroyed by local artillery stones. Used by the female wall.

But at this time, the artillery fire of Yu's army was so sharp that the officers and soldiers didn't even bother to push it to the city wall. Almost all the officers and soldiers tried to lower their bodies and even lay on the wall and didn't even dare to raise their heads. It would be really strange if they could stop Yu's army from filling the moat.

The strength of Yu's army is far from a sea of people. On the whole, the strength of the siege army is not even more than 10,000, and a large number of civilians have not been captured to help them fill the river. As long as the defenders are a little brave, it is basically impossible to fill the river so smoothly without paying a huge price.

From this, we can see to what extent the morale of the defenders has fallen. At this time, even if they have the ability to pass the sky, they can't save such a situation.

On this day, Yu's army attacked until dark, and Yu Xiaotian ordered the temporary collection of troops. Although he failed to attack at the foot of the city wall on the first day, the overall progress was still very satisfactory.

After a day of continuous shelling, the upper stacks of the city wall around Chaoyangmen, the women's walls and stacks at a distance of hundreds of meters were basically destroyed by the artillery of the family. At this time, the wall can be said to be like ruins, full of bricks and gravel.

The enemy buildings in this area were also basically destroyed by the heavy artillery of the Yu family army, including the gate tower on the urn city, which were also destroyed by the artillery of the Yu family army. Inevitably, many shells fell into the city, destroyed many private houses, and killed and injured some people, which also caused a certain panic among the people in the city.

The most important thing is that after a day's attack, Yu's army successfully opened several passages directly to the moat and destroyed several defense facilities outside the moat, laying a good foundation for the next attack. As long as the officers and soldiers do not dare to come out at night to restore these facilities, tomorrow's attack will be simple. Many.

In addition to these, there is another crucial thing, that is, after half a day, several new barracks transported sand and gravel to fill the moat. Although several passages across the river have not been completely opened, more than half of the passages have been filled in in three places without too much manpower, and can be easily completed tomorrow morning. It became a landfill project and completely opened the passage to attack the wall.

After night, most of the troops of Yu's army retreated to the battalion to rest. Yu Xiaotian ordered the new veterans to improve their meals together, so that everyone had meat, and the staple food was opened for them to make, so that they could eat early to rest early.

However, on the battlefield, Yu's army still left a small number of guard troops to guard the results of the day to prevent the officers and soldiers from leaving the city at night, launching a counterattack or trying to destroy the achievements of the Yu family's army during the day.

After the nightfall, he raised high and offered a heavy reward, recruited dead men to go down the city, crossed the moat at night, launched a counterattack against the Yu family army, and took the opportunity to send people out of the city to destroy the moat channel buried by the family army during the day.

The original soldier didn't want to do this, but Gao Qi sub to improve the reward one after another. From the beginning, as long as he went out of the city to kill a rebel and rewarded five taels of silver, he has been raised to thirty taels of silver. Even as long as he went out to destroy the moat channel buried, he could get five taels of silver. Finally, some desperate people still can't afford it. Live this kind of ** and stand up to receive this reward.

So that night, there began to be a movement in the city. A group of outlaws, wearing light armor, holding knives and spears, put down ropes from the wall, and then pulled the ropes and slipped down the wall. Now the sheep and horse wall gathered and began to touch the sheep and horse wall. , began to cross the river.

However, their every move fell into the eyes of the secret whistle of the Yu family army who stayed outside the moat. As soon as there was a movement on the head of the city, it was found by these secret whistles of the Yu family army, so the news immediately spread to the Yu family's barracks.

So the troops on duty that night immediately took action and rushed to the battlefield under the cover of the night, blocking the side of the moat.

When the officers and soldiers were trying to cross the moat with wooden boards and other messy things that were put together. When they attacked the army camp, they suddenly lit a lot of light balls along the moat, and suddenly lit the moat.

The officers and soldiers who tried to cross the river and steal the camp were immediately exposed to the night. Before they could react, countless flames suddenly flashed in the darkness on the other side of the river, and then the sound of gunfire like pop beans sounded.

The officers and soldiers who gathered on the bank of the moat immediately made a scream and fell into the moat in rows like dumplings, including those officers and soldiers who had begun to cross the river in the river, as if they were killed by flocks of duck hunting.

Although the color of the river could not be seen in the night, when it was dawn, the bodies of officers and soldiers lying on the other side of the moat were still seen. In the moat, there were also dozens of officers and soldiers. In this section of the river, there was a strange light red, which was all blood stained, enchanting and cruel. .

After being hit head-on by the Yu family army, the officers and soldiers also became completely honest. Gao Qiqian looked at the dead soldiers sent out and only less than half of them came back. It was even cooler in his heart. They didn't sleep all night and greeted the officers and soldiers guarding the city. In addition, there were also the people who were recruited on the city to repair it overnight and were destroyed during the day. The women's wall cleans up the wall full of ruins.

Against the backdrop of a slightly light night, the shadows on the head of the city immediately attracted the attention of Yu Jiajun. There were full-time snipers on duty at night. When they found a large number of people moving on the wall, these snipers were busy again.

Sporadic gunshots kept ringing everywhere outside the city, and the snipers were not afraid of the enemy's counterattack, simply lying in one place and shooting constantly.

If you want to work in the city, it will inevitably light up lanterns and lights, which makes the people in the city become excellent hunting targets. As long as their bodies are accidentally exposed, they will be shot by the snipers of the Yu family army almost immediately. Therefore, overnight, the officers and soldiers can hardly be said to have no progress on the wall. Except for the dozens of bodies left in vain, not many places could be repaired and cleaned up.

Gao Qiqian was completely blind and hurriedly asked Cao Huachun for help and begged Cao Huachun to send him some reinforcements, but Cao Huachun refused Gao Qiqian's request.

(Special thanks to Feng is my soul, love Zhibai, and the reward of several intoxicating friends! Yesterday, I was exhausted. I drove to two cities in one afternoon, and they all went back and forth, and didn't come back until midnight! I almost couldn't get up today!)
