Chapter 267 Extermination of the tars
However, the return gun is not invincible. The biggest disadvantage of the return gun is the cold weapon. The preparation process of each launch is relatively long, which is far less fast than Zhang Yang's Tianque and scattered flower cannon.
However, Tianque can't give full play to its advantages this time, because it is beyond the ability of most shooters.
"Ban, bang, bang." Countless days were shooting, but only the gunners and crossbowmen on the Tatar position caused very small casualties.
"Wo!" The rain of scattered fireworks also poured down. In the first shot, neither side hit accurately. Only two scattered bullets fell on the position of the tartar, destroying a return gun.
The tars seemed to be used to it and were not affected at all. They were ** back to the gun in an orderly manner. The second shot was ready again.
Suddenly, a few shells flew from the sky and landed on the position of the tars.
"Good, good to come!" Looking at the flight trajectory of the shell, Zhang Yang knew that this was the God of War cannon deployed in Dongchengmen. The solid shell of the God of War hit the opponent's position and suddenly raised a piece of dust, and the ground kept shaking, which showed the power of the God of War cannon.
If there is a trigger device to make the shell into a warhead that can explode, the lethality must be even more amazing, Zhang Yang thought.
After the rain, the back gun and the bed crossbow of the tatarter began to shoot again.
"Dong, Dong Dong," the stone hit the wall, and the wall began to shake. Moreover, all the return guns were firing at that place. They must want to break through there and collapse the head of the city.
Just now, the shells of the God of War came and shook the return gun a few times, causing the other party's return gun to move. This time, many stone bullets were still missed.
However, the bed crossbow was not affected. Soon, the wall was shot densely, and countless artificial ladders had already appeared on the wall.
"Quick, shoot!" Zhang Yang had never felt his heartbeat so hard. He personally picked up a Tianque gun and shot at the position of the return gun. Only by destroying those gunners clean can he keep the safety of Gaoyou Mansion.
"Let's go!" In the array of the tars, I saw that the wall was about to fall under the blow of the return gun, and I couldn't help but be happy to come from it. There were also dense arrows shooting into the wall, and the ladder composed of arrows, which made them sweep away the bad luck of the previous days. Their morale was high and rushed to the head of the city.
"Turn the mouth and shoot the rushing tars!" Zhang Yang continued, "Send a signal and let Bian Yuanheng's navy come to support!"
There are only dozens of scattered cannons at the top of the city. The attack on the back guns and bed crossbow positions of the tars are a little powerless, not to mention the tars coming now. Only by allowing the rapid support of Bian Yuanheng's water army's artillery can the war situation be reversed. I hope the city wall can hold on for a while.
Suddenly, "Woar!" With a sound, the wall, which was repeatedly hit by stone bullets, suddenly stepped over a corner, and I'm afraid the rest of the part won't last long.
"Your Excellency, the power of the return gun is really huge!" In the camp of the army of the tartars, the generals looked at the head of the city, and their hearts were full of joy.
If I had known this, when I attacked the city, I would have brought a return gun. Why did so many soldiers die? The generals have a feeling of remorse in their hearts.
Yu Que nodded. Although the return gun is very powerful, he did not want to carry it at first, because the return gun also has its own shortcomings. It is too heavy and not easy to move. Moreover, it is easy to be destroyed by the other party. Nothing is omnipotent. The key is to see how to use it.
Suddenly, in the southeast, the cavalry rushed out of the slope.
"Bamp, bang," the cavalry, like a red-hot soldering iron, suddenly inserted into the cheese, they quickly rushed to the back gun position. I'm afraid they are the most elite cavalry. While riding a horse, they can actually put one hand on the fire. They rushed forward desperately. One of the leaders, a majestic general, is Tang He.
Tang He has been hiding outside the battlefield for a long time and has been watching the situation on the battlefield. Their 200-person cavalry can't set off any waves in the tens of thousands of Tatar army. Besides, Tang He is very confident in the defenders. With those firearms, it is enough to make the Tatars unable to eat and walk.
However, I didn't expect that these new things brought by the tars could shoot against the sky and scattered cannons on the battlefield, and did not fall behind. Suddenly, the situation on the battlefield was conducive to the development of the tars.
Tang He couldn't help it and finally decided to destroy those damn things that could throw stones, and not let those stones destroy the walls of Gaoyou Mansion.
In this era, the city wall has an important purpose. If the protection of the city wall is lost, then Gaoyou Mansion will definitely be destroyed.
"Quick, send troops to stop them!" Yu Que quickly ordered. On the outer edge of the position, although two hundred-man teams guarded the position, he was still worried.
"Brother, there's a change over there. It's Tanghe!" Shi Wenbing found a team of cavalry in the distance and quickly leaned towards the other side's position, trying to destroy those damn things. The leader was Tang He, who was stationed in Taizhou.
How did Tang He come here? This is not the first thing Zhang Yang should consider. He is also paying attention to the other party's backfire. As long as those backfires are destroyed, the tars will have no way to sing.
Now, the scattered cannons have been partially divided to deal with the tars. Once they get close to the range of the bows and arrows, it will definitely be a disaster for the soldiers defending the city. However, if the back cannons of the tars are not destroyed, this biggest threat cannot be eliminated. Although the God of War cannons is also bombarding, the effect of solid bullets Limited, if you hit it, you can smash the return gun into pieces, but if you hit it on the ground, it does not have much lethality, but only affects the other party's aiming. At this moment, the biggest backup force, Bian Yuanheng's steam engine ship can't arrive immediately. In order to confuse the tars, the fleet is hidden in Gaoyou Lake.
If Tang He can destroy the back gun, Zhang Yang will have absolute confidence to kill all the tars in front of him. It is very easy to aim at the tars in such a bright afternoon.
The tars were stimulated by stone bullets and fought very bravely. Although the firepower at the head of the city was very strong, they were also constantly rushing forward, getting closer and closer to the head of the city.
"The first team, then shoot, the second team, prepare the grenade." In the running cavalry, Tang He's shouts rang all over the whole team.
Hearing the order, the cavalry of the second team put away the sky, put it on their backs, and first took out the fire folds from their chests.
The weapon is the life of the soldiers. The grenade that can only explode by ignition is too backward!
On the running horse, doing this difficult action, the soldiers slowed down the speed of the horse and gradually approached the target.
In the process of shooting just now, all the sentries in this direction have been killed. The other protective forces are still coming in a hurry. They are sniped by the first team. The second team needs to put grenades into the return gun.
"Wh, th, thuff." I don't know where a few arrows flew from, and the cavalry rushed to the front fell off the horse. The soldiers behind couldn't stop and stepped on them.
"Dry the tars!" The soldiers were angry, and the horse had run very slowly. They took out the grenade from behind them. Just before the impact, the grenade was ready and the lead had been pulled out. They clicked the lead, patted the front of the horse, followed by the speed of the horse, and completed the action of dropping the bomb on the horse.
"Dog tartar, taste the taste of a grenade!"
The gunners of the back gun and the crossbowmen of the bed crossbow were not affected by them. They were just like a tireless single-celled creature, stringing, preparing and shooting. They did not find that there were already some smoke around them.
Another round of stone bombs flew into the sky.
"Boom, boom, boom!" Among the countless explosions, many return guns were fragmented.
An explosion stunned the gunners and crossbowmen. Only then did they recover from the shooting just now, looking at the broken arms and legs around them, and fear surged into their hearts. There were also sporadic casualties just now, but compared with now, it is simply a destruction. The explosion just now caused at least half of the casualties.
Run. Anyway, the return gun is broken. You can't fire the shell. Do you want to keep it and wait to die?
Another round of grenades was thrown over, and they ran to the rear coincidentally.
"Boom, boom!" In the explosion of the grenade, the position was already in a mess.
"Go back!" Seeing several cavalry running towards him, he was afraid to surround himself. Tang He gave the order to retreat to the whole team.
No matter how powerful your team is, it can't match its own enemy. Now that its combat purpose has been achieved, it is not a shame to be chased by the tars and run away.
Although the return gun was destroyed, the stone bullets were still fired, and dozens of stone bullets flew together to the already crumbling city.
"Wrap!" The head of the city finally couldn't stand the impact. After the last straw that crushed the camel came down, the wall here fell weakly, and the wall opened a foot long opening.
"Let's go, let's go!" The tars were so excited that the city wall had collapsed, so it was easy to enter the Gaoyou Mansion. First of all, if you enter the city, you will have a lifetime of reward for food and clothing.
Yu Que was also very happy. Although the return gun position was destroyed, the return gun finally played its due role and killed the city wall.
"Order the action of the East Gate to start immediately." Yu Que said.
Suddenly, the thick smoke on the lake in the west attracted their attention. What was that? Yu Que and other generals looked to the west together.
Zhang Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and the fleet finally arrived. If it was a step later, the group of crazy tars would definitely rush in.
"Each gun fired three times in a volley, the target: the tars of the siege." Bian Yuanheng commanded on the flagship.
"Boom, boom!" Hundreds of cannons on several steam engine ships opened fire together. The dense rain of bullets hit the defenseless tartars.
During this period, Bian Yuanheng has been urging Li Youcai and others at the base, and finally transformed several captured ships into steam engine ships, enriching Bian Yuanheng's rapid maneuvering ability. Now it is the east wind. If it is a sailboat, it is impossible to arrive in such a short time.
Wherever the bullet rain goes, it is immediately a sea of blood. There are thousands of tars who fall to the ground in a volley!
Looking at the tars under the wall, Zhang Yang smiled. When Bian Yuanheng's fleet arrived, the fate of these tars was doomed.
When he heard the loud sound of cannons coming from the lake, Yu Que was immediately shocked. Looking at his people being ruthlessly shot and falling to the ground, Yu Que's heart was cold.
Artillery, known as the god of death on the battlefield, is not too much. The lethality of artillery is a hundred times stronger than that of fire. Especially for this kind of charging scattered soldiers, it is simply destruction.
The tars who charged were also afraid of being beaten. Although the collapsed wall was very close, his surname was more important. Just now, it was only because he saw hope that he summoned up the courage to rush forward. Now, this hope is zero.
They retreated.
Bian Yuanheng had expected this for a long time. He turned the muzzle and bombarded it backwards, blocking the back road of the tars.
Behind them are artillery, and in front of them are fire cannons. The tars sandwiched in the middle have been forced to go crazy. Among them, someone has raised their hands and is ready to surrender.
However, the defenders did not give them a chance to surrender. The last fire made them wary of the surrendering tars. Instead of taking them in custody, it was better to bury them in the earth.
Yu Que was so sad that his tears were about to flow down. This was all the power of the province. He still had a little illusion. He didn't know if he had attacked the Dongcheng Gate. As long as he could hit in the east, no matter how much the loss was, it was worth it. It attracted the attention of the defenders so that he could make the inner action in the east.
"Lord Yu, Lord Yu, there was also an ambush in the east. More than 10,000 of us there have been completely destroyed." A scout came over and said loudly.
What? Yu Que couldn't believe his ears. He pulled the scout: "What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Tell me again!"
In anger, although Yu Que was a civil servant, he still choked the scout. The scout rolled his eyes and was about to be strangled to death.
The others hurried over to dissuade him: "Your Excellency, your Excellency, the military situation is urgent. Please make a quick decision."
"Your Excellency, I'm not afraid that there is no firewood. When we go back, we will report to the court and ask the court to send someone to deal with them."
"Your Excellency, let's withdraw quickly. If we don't withdraw, the defenders in the city will rush out."
Yu Que's eyes turned red and looked at the head of the city in the distance. Suddenly, "Wow", he spit out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
"Adult, adult..."
The battle of Dongchengmen is simply a trap. The leader of the tar who led the messenger thought it was a good and bad. Unexpectedly, all of them were reimbursed here.
When the siege of the north and south cities was going on fiercely, the head of the east gate was in a panic. Seeing a team of people running to the north and south, the tars were secretly happy.
The sky was already a little dark. Finally, the Dongcheng Gate opened silently. Several people sneaked out of the inside and waved in the hidden direction of the tars, which was exactly what He Zhaojie said before.
"General, those are my people." He Zhaojie said.
The tars were overjoyed, and they all rushed forward and rushed into the city, which was victory.
Shi Xin, who guarded the head of the Acropolis, wanted this effect. The tars rushed forward in a beehive. When they entered a distance of 200 steps, the scattered cannons at the head of the city had aimed at the rear of the tars and blocked the retreat of the tars.
The tartar rushed to the front and suddenly found that the gate in front of him slowly closed.
There is a problem! I was fooled! The tartar understood, but it was too late. The tartar in front stopped, and the tartar behind was still rushing forward.
"Boom, boom, boom!" With the gunfire at the head of the city, Tianque was also mixed in it. They opened fire together, and the tars below immediately fell into the rain of destruction.
Backward? Behind it is the overwhelming rain of bullets. Are you rushing forward? There are also bullets with the smell of death in front of them. In the open space outside the Dongcheng Gate, the Tatars are already in and out of the valley.
The ruthless rain of bullets shot at the tars fiercely, and this battle was even more exciting.
Most of the tars were shot into a sieve outside the city gate, and there were none of the ten who escaped from the surname.
Xiao Liu and Yan Lao Si, Xue Lao San, also fell into a pool of blood.
Just now, in order to lure the Tatars, Shixin asked them to go out and wave to the Tatars. When the gate was closed, they were all locked outside.
Xiao Liu looked at the closed gate behind him, and his face was as gray. If he had done something wrong, it should be like this. Although the eldest brother said let him go, it was just an empty word.
Yan Laisi and Xue Laosan were happy. This opportunity was not easy to come by. They jumped down the moat at the same time.
Unfortunately, several snipers at the head of the city have already aimed at them. They did not jump down, but fell after being shot. It is simply impossible to survive.
Shi Xin held the sky and aimed at Xiao Liu. To be honest, Xiao Liu is not bad, but if he did something wrong, he should pay for it. Shi Xin silently pulled the trigger.
This is not the eldest brother's idea, but Shixin's own idea, but those who dare to betray the eldest brother must end up like this!
Moreover, in this way, he died with respect and reported it back to his home, saying that he died in the battle with the Tatars, so that his relatives would not be ashamed of him. After all, Xiao Liu came out of the same salt farm, and Shixin gave him a way out.
Of all the battles, the battle in the north is the easiest. Because Yu Que regards the south as the main target of attack, and all the return guns and crossbows are arranged on the position in the south, and the army in the north has built countless siege equipment, arrow towers, impact vehicles and so on in the past few days, but the gap in the range has always been made them have no The law is one step closer.Dazhi was also equipped with shields for the soldiers, but the wooden shield could not stop the other party's fire shooting at all. After paying a certain number of casualties, Dazhi immediately retreated.
Before nightfall, all the battles were over.
