Chapter 64 Reflection of Chongzhen
Under such a reward, and it was cashed on the spot, they really gathered a group of people who were not afraid of death. These people pushed some wooden walls, lifted a lot of bee rockets that had not been used much, and went up to the wall. At this time, the city stack had been almost knocked by the Yu family's army. On the wall There is almost no hiding place, and these wooden walls have become the last hiding places on the wall.
The wooden women's wall is a small car with wooden wheels, which is made of thick wooden boards. Some of them are wrapped in iron or raw cowhide to enhance the ability to resist bullets or arrows. It is expected to open up and down and shot holes. It was not until this time that it was remembered by the officers and got to the city wall.
Although these wooden women's walls are not strong enough, more than 200 steps away, they can still block the breakdown of Minee bullets made of pure lead to a certain extent. In this way, after dozens of wooden women's walls are pushed to the wall, they have really restrained the effectiveness of snipers on the high platforms outside the city.
Although the snipers repeatedly shot these wooden walls, they could not effectively kill the officers and soldiers hiding behind them, so they had to call the artillery to help solve these problems.
But at this time, behind the wooden wall, large wooden buckets were suddenly set up. After the lid was opened, after a while, I saw a piece of smoke suddenly rising on the wall. After a moment, thousands of rockets were really like a swarm of bees, whistling and pulling the green channels. The smoke rushed out, pulled out thousands of dense smoke in the air, and roared towards the city.
Seeing this situation, Yu Xiaotian's pupils suddenly shrank. During this period, his battle was a little too smooth, and he actually forgot the big killer of a swarm of bee rockets.
A swarm of rockets is also a very important weapon invented during the Ming Dynasty. As a battlefield suppression weapon, it is very powerful.
These bee rockets, from three-packed magic machine arrows to twenty-packed fire dragon arrows, and even 32-packed bee-packed bees, and even had hundreds of tigers running arrows loaded with hundreds of rockets. The leads of all rockets were gathered together, ignited and launched in turn, which can indeed be made in an instant. Very strong fire suppression effect.
And the farthest of these swarm of rockets can be launched to a distance of more than 200 steps are heavy arrows. The front end of the arrows is a sharp iron arrow cluster, which has strong penetration by gravity and speed.
The officers and soldiers have not used this thing for the past two days, so that Yu Xiaotian even forgot these things. Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, the officers and garrison actually invited so many bees and hundreds of tigers to run together, creating a firestorm in an instant.
Dozens of bees and tigers ignited together, and thousands of rockets were launched in an instant, which fell overwhelmingly out of the city.
And this was when a large number of attacking troops of the Yu family army charged towards the open gap, and in an instant, the arrow rain of rockets covered the attacking Yu family army.
In a short time, the Yu family army fell hundreds of soldiers. Some people even directly inserted a few rockets on their bodies and died under the city on the spot. Another group of soldiers were injured by this rain of arrows and also fell on the way forward.
This is the first time in two days that Yu Jiajun has suffered such a fierce counterattack and suffered the first major casualties. Yu Xiaotian only felt a burst of pain in his heart and roared angrily: "Cannon, fire with all your strength! Clean up these bastards in the city!"
After the artillery started the war today, in order to save ammunition, they did not fire at full speed as they did yesterday morning. They just observed the movement on the wall and opened fire at some crowded places from time to time, or knocked down some remaining stacks.
At this time, caught off guard, the officers and soldiers suddenly pushed up so many wooden walls of the city wall and got so many swarms of bees, which instantly caused huge casualties to the attacking infantry brothers. They were not used for filial piety to make fire, and they were also stunned.
Artillery officers felt sorry for the infantry brothers who were attacking. At this time, they all pierced their buttocks and cursed and ordered to fire at full speed.
The artillery position, which was not very lively, suddenly erupted like a volcano. Dozens of light and heavy artillery once again caught fire at the same time, hitting the shells like hail to the city wall.
After two days of continuous shelling, the gunners on each gun position have already set the most accurate aiming point. This time, each gun fired three or four cannons continuously at the fastest speed. Within a minute, dozens of cannons poured one or two hundred shells towards the wall. These shells roared and landed on the wall. Almost in a short time, looking at the wooden walls on the wall that had just been pushed up, they turned into debris one after another and were smashed by shells.
And those desperate people who received heavy rewards and died did not even have a chance to escape, and were almost torn to pieces on the wall by Yu's army's cannon on the spot.
And the snipers on the high platform were also stunned. They operated their mace-tooth rifles one by one, loaded them quickly, and then immediately aimed accurately. As long as they saw officers and soldiers appear on the wall, they immediately opened fire and killed them.
As a result, a group of outlaws who were finally gathered from their upper city, launched a swarm of bees, and destroyed them. The whole process took less than a quarter of an hour. Hundreds of desperate officers and soldiers fell on the wall one by one, leaving only more than 100 desperate people, one panicked. Like a frightened rabbit, it rolled down the wall from the horse road in the city.
Look at their faces either black or dusty. In short, they were all pale. After getting off the wall, they were all two battles. Some people were simply wet in their crotch and were scared to pee.
They have seen such firepower there! Those hot shells fell on the wall like hail. They watched many colleagues. In the blink of an eye, together with the wooden wall in front of them, they were bombarded into scum. The scene where the human body suddenly bursts and was torn apart in front of their eyes, and their flesh and blood flew across. I'm afraid that they will become them all their lives. The lingering nightmare, so even if they took a few taels of silver, they are all afraid of the impulse just now.
Gao Qi was so dedicated that he knew what was wrong, and he quickly continued to urge the officers and soldiers to go to the city to defend, but at this time, the officers and soldiers were all scared to death, and no one answered for a long time.
So Gao Qiqian directly summoned the guard general, scolded the general, and invited Shang Fang's sword, claiming that if he did not go to the city to defend, he would kill them on the spot.
Under the deadly pressure, the officers and soldiers reluctantly climbed up the wall again, picked up the rolling stone, and began to throw it down the city to prevent the Yu family from attacking the wall.
Next, before dark, Yu's army launched a fierce offensive and almost attacked the city wall. However, before dark, the officers and soldiers got more than 100,000 enemies on the wall, ignited and left the city wall, destroyed several ladders of the Yu's army, and burned and burned dozens of Yu's soldiers, which could stop Yu The offensive of the family army.
Seeing that it was getting late, Yu Xiaotian continued to attack the city, which was beneficial to the enemy and unfavorable to himself. In doing so, he may cause more casualties, so he ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops and end the next day's general attack.
Yu Jiajun's fierce attack on Chaoyangmen for two consecutive days not only caused great casualties and pressure to the defenders of Chaoyangmen, but also caused a great shock to everyone in the Beijing division.
Chongzhen is listening to the rumbling cannons and the sound of cannons like popped beans in the Chaoyangmen and Dongzhimen every moment, and the continuous shouting of killing at that moment, which can be said to be as uncomfortable as a needle felt. Now he has gone to an army of Jiannu, but has attracted a more ruthless guy than Jiannu. This Beijing is in Swaying in the wind and rain, there seems to be a danger of overturning at any time.
It was not until this time that Chongzhen really began to regret. He regretted that he did not listen to the advice of some ministers at that time. Don't regard Yu Xiaotian as a hatred and advised him to comfort Yu Xiaotian as much as possible. Don't blame him at this time, but he didn't listen at that time and kept thinking about solving Yu Xiaotian as soon as possible. Tomorrow's next peace will be a great achievement for him as a Zhongxing emperor.
But now, it seems that he was too optimistic about the matter. When Yu Xiaotian came to Tianjin Wei, he still had the opportunity to appease him. At that time, as long as he moved his mouth, he would more or less allocate some food and salaries to the Yu family army, and then sent officers and soldiers to defeat the Jiannu, then Yu Xiaotian would not borrow anything. Mouth, come to make trouble.
Even if he did not do so at that time, when Xiaotian led Yu Jiannu to win the decisive battle in Tianjin, he only needed to reward Yu Xiaotian and his subordinates as soon as possible, instead of sending a large army to attack Yu's army just after the end of the family war, so there is still room for redemption.
Didn't Yu Xiaotian want a name? As long as he did this at that time, if Yu Xiaotian still made trouble like this, it would be great rebellion and unpopular.
After so many years of disaster, Jiannu entered the customs and plundered the four directions for half a year. The people around the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and even the people in northern Zhili Shandong and other places, have long been at peace of mind and do not want to bear any more military disasters. If he does not send troops to fight the family army first, he will provide a revolt for Yu Xiaotian. To be honest, then Yu Xiaotian dares not move.
The people will not be inclined to him for this, and will return to the court, but he is still blindfolded by lard. However, he listens to the efforts of Liu Yuliang and others and others, and miscalculated the combat effectiveness of Yu Jiajun. Unexpectedly, after the battle with Jiannu, Yu Jiajun actually It can still have such a strong combat power.
So much so that the two powerful brigades he had at hand instantly overturned under the front of the Yu family's army, which led to the danger of the capital, and also made Yu Xiaotian get a good opportunity and word of rebellion.
(Thank you for the reward of GZG1972 friends!)
