Chapter 86 Final Battle 3

And the other big fire did not last long. After a few shots, it was still bombarded by the gunpowder barrel they put near the cannon. It immediately exploded and lifted the cannon away, including everyone in the gun position, who was killed on the spot.

As for the remaining Hongyi cannon, because the distance was a little farther, the sea wolf gunner failed to hit it several times, but they were also scared enough. The shell fell not far from the Hongyi cannon, which made the rebel gunners' hair stand up.

The rebels forced a large number of people to attack the city wall with firewood bundles and earth bags. The trench outside the wall has been filled in many places under the rebel attack in a few days and almost lost their defense ability, but the rebels are still not enough and are ready to fill more places so that more rebels can reach the city more conveniently. At the foot of the wall, and then began to attack the city.

Countless rebels and people, like ants, slowly approached the city wall. Under the command of Li San, the soldiers of the sea wolf no longer concealed the effective range of their rifles. Once they saw that a large number of rebels had reached 300 steps below the city wall, they began to shoot at dense areas.

Although the accuracy of the rifle is not very high, it is specially aimed at the dense personnel. If you can't hit this one, you always have to hit that one, which is also effective.

The whole battle was very fierce at the beginning. Except for the Hongyi cannon, the rebels had no countermeasures and could only brace forward. After all, many of them were killed and injured, and they would not collapse.

So the sea wolf infantry are very happy now. They load them again and again, shoot again and again, and they are not happy. Moreover, before the enemy approached, they fought casually. Only they hit people, but they did not get beaten. The only thing that can pose a threat to them is the Hongyi cannon, but that The Hongyi cannon opened fire several times, but only two shells were bombarded in the middle of the wall. The remaining two shells were raised and flew into the city. I don't know whose house was forcibly demolished.

So the Hongyi cannon is not terrible and does not worry these sea wolf infantry at all. They are only used under the command of officers, maintaining a good rhythm, constantly loading, and constantly firing at dense enemy areas.

Zhao Zhizhou watched the battle in the city and saw a big mood. Every time the "rural soldiers" in Xishan Village shot, some rebels outside the city would immediately fall to the ground and never get up again. During this period, how could they ever seen such a comfortable thing? So they all cheered one by one.

Originally, the morale of the defenders was not high. After seeing that the soldiers in Xishan Village used such a sharp*, they killed many rebels for a long time, and they also felt very happy. They couldn't help but take a rocket and began to rise. Soon they soared to the extreme. The gloom that the defenders enveloped in their hearts was immediately As soon as they swept away, they rubbed their fists one by one. When the rebels came closer, they also let go.

Things are often so wonderful. The impact of morale on war is so great that many people may not understand it, but morale, that is, such a wonderful thing, when the side with high morale, can often win even if it is at a disadvantage, but once morale is low, even millions of heroes can It can be beaten by a small enemy.

Today, before the people in Xishan Village came, although these defenders actually held their will to die, their morale was extremely low. Now they see the villagers from Xishan Village fighting so happily that even those who are cowardly have to have a little self-esteem, and then their morale It began to rise sharply, so that today's war can be expected.

The rebels were beaten in the face by the sea wolf infantry from a distance of 300 steps. They couldn't fight back. This feeling is really uncomfortable. It is also quite horrible to hit their morale, especially the rebels who Zhang Tao took to Xishan Village. They are furious. The slower they walk, the more scattered they are. The morale fell into the crotch all the way.

Other people have not tasted it, and this time they have also tasted it. Seeing the people around them, they are killed one by one, it is inevitable that everyone will have some feeling of rabbit death. If morale can rise, it will be strange, and they are only beaten and can't fight back, which is really depressing.

So when the rebels finally attacked not far below the city wall, their morale was already quite low. Although the rebels were forced to continue to attack, their cooperation with each other has also lost their standards. There are many people who shrink and dare not dare to come forward, and the offensive is naturally not far away.

When the rebels arrived here, they also began to fight back and fired arrows at the city, but then they were hit in the face by the sea wolf infantry.

The tail of the Minee bullet is hollow, and there is a cork, whose diameter is slightly beyond the diameter of the inner bore, so after being stuffed into the gun, even if the muzzle is facing down, there will be no bullet sliding out of the gun, resulting in emptying the gun. Therefore, the infantry can protrude out the rifle from the hole of the arrow stack and aim at the rebels below. You do shoot them, but you basically don't have to worry about hurting them.

Even if there are a few sharpshooters among the rebels by chance, they can shoot arrows into the hole dozens of steps away, and the number is very small. They will be immediately found and hunted.

Including the archers in the defenders and the archers of the villagers in the city, their morale was also high at this time. They tried their best to open their bows and lean against the rebels under the city.

For a while, the rebels were shot down on the side of the moat, and suffered heavy casualties. Only some rebels hiding behind the shield and chariots were more or less safe. Those rebels who were out of the shield were shot and killed near the trench by the defenders.

The morale of the rebels was not high. They were beaten so hard and began to be unable to hold on. The first wave of attack collapsed and retreated to the starting point, but during the retreat, they were still turned upside down a lot from behind by the sea wolf infantry.

Chen Guangfu was so angry that he beheaded several rebels who led the escape, reorganized his team, and launched another attack. Throughout the whole day, Chen Guangfu launched four fierce attacks. Only the third time, he put great pressure on the defenders. Because of Chen Guangfu's death order, they were not allowed to retreat, and the fugitives who escaped from the battle were killed without mercy. And he killed dozens of rebels who fled back, inserted their heads with long guns, and inserted them in front of the battle.

This shocked the rebels and forced them to work hard to attack. In the third attack, they finally attacked under the wall, erected ladders, and began to climb to the wall like ants.

But the morale of the defenders is high today, and the officials also came to the battlefield in person to supervise the war, and also killed several greedy people who were afraid of death. The remaining defenders also shouted for a fierce battle and smashed everything that could be used. The sea wolf's infantry was responsible for suppressing the rebellion in the city. The munitioners and archers have never had enough cover for the rebels.

The defenders had higher morale and did not have to worry too much about their own safety. They fought fiercely. As soon as the rebels leaned against the foot of the city wall, they began to throw bricks and stones desperately. The rebels erected a ladder and began to climb the city. They threw them down with rolling wood, or put down the night thunder and put down the rebels on the ladder. Go, but it's a pity that there is no wolf tooth racket in the city, otherwise the ladder can be broken.

Even so, the casualties of the rebels were quite heavy. From time to time, hot water was poured on the city's pockets, and some oil fell from time to time. The hot rebels cried for their father and mother, even with a shield in their hands could not be stopped.

What's more relieved is that although some people are not burned, the water on their bodies will immediately become cold on such a cold day. First, the cold makes them trembling, and then they find that their clothes begin to freeze. If they don't take off their clothes, they may even be frozen on their skin, making these rebels miserable.

However, under the pressure of Chen Guangfu, the rebels could only attack the city desperately. They almost attacked the city wall several times. Even on a section of the wall, they attacked several rebels and occupied a small area.

However, the defenders in the city fought back desperately and finally fought them down. The sea wolf's infantry played a particularly important role in this defensive battle. Once they found that some places were lost, Li San would immediately send people to support them. Even if the rebels barely occupied a small area and didn't wait for them to cover them. Many rebels rushed up, and the sea wolf infantry rushed over. After a row of guns, they knocked down all the rebels on the wall.

Then the defenders rushed up, blocked the gap again, and beat down the subsequent rebels again. The whole wall of the south gate was full of shouts, blood splashed in the air at any time, and lives were harvested at any time. Later, seeing that the war was tight, Li San assigned his men to several places in rows. , as the main force to help the defense, always stick to it.

So that later, some sea wolf soldiers' rifles were bald and their guns were broken, but they simply stopped shooting, put on bayonets, and fought with the rebels who attacked the wall.

Seeing that these township soldiers in Xishan Village are so brave, it has also greatly mobilized the morale of other defenders. The township soldiers of Xishan Village are only the guest army, and they can still do so. They are embarrassed to pretend to be cowardly and gritt their teeth and fight to the death.

Although the casualties of the defenders were not small, this time the defenders rarely exerted their super combat effectiveness. Each of them shouted for a fierce battle. At an emergency, even some sergeant soldiers also waved a single knife or iron ruler, rushed to the mouth and fought with the rebels.

Zhao Zhizhou saw the tragic situation. Although he was scared to two battles, he still suppressed his fear, shouted repeatedly, cheered for the defenders, and sent people to the city on the spot to get thousands of taels of silver, and sent them directly to the defenders on the spot to improve morale.
