Chapter 38 The Battle of Longzhou 5

(No way! I want to do more, but the spinous inflammation on my back is always messy. It hurts so much that I can't sit still. After sitting down for half a day, I have to lie down in pain. In the afternoon, I will have an injection to close it! I'm sorry!)

With the hoarse roar of Huang Shengqiang, the counterattack of Xing Tianjun finally began. This time, Huang Shengqiang learned a lot. He ordered several cannons to deal with a general cannon in the city at the same time. After the first round of fire, the effect immediately appeared. Even if the city stack where the general cannon was placed was bombarded. It became a pile of rubble. Although the accuracy of the artillery of this era is very limited, under close-range bombardment, several guns aimed at one position at the same time, causing considerable harm. The general gun, which had just erupted flames, was in the counterattack under the city, even if it was overturned to the ground and hundreds of kilograms of gun bodies were lifted. He weighed heavily on the lower body of a gunner. The gunner screamed, weakly pushing the gun body on his two thighs and crying, and the defenders standing around the gun also fell down. Most of them were injured by the splashing mason, which shocked the defenders on the wall with exclamation.

When the smoke of the gunfire was blown away by the wind, Huang Shengqiang, who saw the master, immediately shouted strangely, laughed loudly and shouted, "Brothers, you did a good job! Turn the muzzle and aim at the next door and beat me fiercely! Look at what their officers and soldiers are arrogant about!"

Yang Yulin's attention was mainly focused on the return guns that were getting closer and closer to the city wall. Unexpectedly, the thieves outside the city still had such a hand. Even if he lost a general gun, when he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately waved his finger at the location of the Fran machine guns and ordered: "Sage the general's gun for the time being. Let go of those return shots, focus on those Franco machines, and kill them!"

After suffering a loss, the defenders immediately turned their attention to Huang Shengqiang, and the remaining generals began to bombard them in turn.

The shell landed on the basket full of earth and stone, which made the bunker's earth and stone fly around, but it could not effectively hit the French cannons. Moreover, because of the bunker, the shell fell on the bunker, and immediately fell deep into the bunker and could not jump up and continue to hurt people.

Huang Shengqiang, who was shocked, and his gunners saw that the other party's artillery could not help them, and they were bolder. They aimed at the position where the general guns were placed in the city and began to fire fiercely.

After a few rounds of volley, the two general guns in the city were overturned on the wall, and at least a dozen defenders in the city were put on the ground, which frustrated the morale of the defenders in the city.

Yang Yulin cursed angrily and waved to the soldiers beside him and shouted, "What are you still doing? Adjust some more swarms of bees for me, and aim for me!"

After the soldiers were stunned, they quickly went down to pass the order. A few boxes of bees were transferred over. The soldiers pointed the boxes of the bees at the location of those Franco machine guns outside the city and immediately ignited the lead behind the box.

There was a roaring sound immediately on the city wall. The ignited rockets flew out of the box with a roar. Hundreds of rockets really flew out like peaks out of the nest, and in a blink of an eye, they fell to the location of the Fran machine gun.

Huang Shengqiang looked up and his face suddenly turned a little white, and he shouted sadly: "Shield! Hurry up and shield..."

But they were still a little slower after all. The first batch of rockets that fell fell into their crowd. On the spot, several gunners and arrows screamed and fell to the ground. Huang Shengqiang was careless and received two arrows on his body. Fortunately, as an officer, he was assigned a pair of iron armor, and finally he was not injured. It was too heavy. At this time, the new recruits who were responsible for covering them raised their shields and covered the gunners. They only heard a loud noise on the shield. The group of gunners were shocked one by one. Suddenly, they were suppressed, and the sound of the gunfire was hoarse.

As the attacking rebels got closer and closer to the trench, Yang Yulin finally issued an order to open fire. Suddenly, all kinds of cannons, guns, rockets and bows and strings sounded in the city, and all kinds of cannons and arrows suddenly fell like a rainstorm.

But the Rebels had a shield car cover this time. A large number of Rebel soldiers hid behind the shield car, holding some shields in their hands to cover the top of their heads. Although the defenders' firepower was very fierce, most of the bullets hit their shield car, and the wooden board of the shield car was also covered with a layer of wet with water. There was a popping sound on the shield car. Most of the bullets failed to penetrate the shield car, but countless arrows were inserted on the shield car, making the shield car like a layer of reed flowers.

After seeing the previous situation, Li Zicheng laughed, reached out and patted Xiao Tianjian on the shoulder and said, "Brother Xiao, our method looks really good. There is nothing the officers and soldiers can do with us!"

Xiao Tianjian was also paying attention to the previous battle situation and nodded slightly. So far, the role of the shield car is really good, which has greatly reduced the casualties of the siege soldiers. Only a few shield cars were directly hit by the big projectile of the tiger squatting cannon, which was broken up and injured a group of generals, but compared with the previous day when they attacked the city Wait for casualties, such casualties are already very small.

But his face also relaxed a little, and he smiled and nodded and said, "It's so good. I hope the general's brothers can attack the wall this time!"

Li Zicheng's subordinates, who were hiding behind the shield car, saw that the officers and soldiers had no good way to take them, so their suspense were relieved a lot and increased their strength one after another to push the shield car to rush towards the trench.

Yang Yulin looked at the thieves who were getting closer and closer to the city wall with a solemn face. Today, the performance of the people's army was beyond his expectation. The other side was obviously more orderly than the previous two sieges, and at the same time, he was more well prepared. Although the firepower of their defenders in the city still overwhelmed their opponents, because Those shield cars can't kill and injure the enemy in large numbers. If it goes on like this, the opponent will quickly approach the wall. Next, they will add ladders and start a strong attack. Once they enter the level of short-term contact, they may be taken away from the city wall if they are a little careless, so Longzhou City is also dangerous!

After observing the situation outside the city, Yang Yulin passed the order and extended the firepower back. So the defenders in the city turned around and began to aim at the thieves who followed behind the shield car. Boxes of bees were ignited by the defenders, and hundreds of rockets were launched like locusts. These rockets have no tail feathers and are accurate. It certainly won't be much better, but the most important thing is that the number of rockets is really large, and the range can reach more than 200 steps. Although there is not much accuracy, in a blink of an eye, it flew over the front row of the shield car and landed on the heads of the rebels who followed the shield car.

Li Zicheng's soldiers have a small number of armor and equipment. In the face of such a dense rain of arrows, he fell down on the spot. Many rebels who were hit by the arrows covered their wounds and lay on the ground and mourned sadly, but then a pair of big feet stepped over their bodies and continued to move forward. Go.

After a shield car rushed to the outside of the trench, it was blocked by the trench and could not continue to move forward, so the soldiers hiding behind the shield car immediately unloaded a tiger squat gun from the car and set them up. The gunner in charge of operating the gun nervously filled the wrapped ammunition into the gunbore. This group of soldiers was Xiao. Xiao Tianjian, the artillery of Xing Tianjun under Tianjian's command, has always attached great importance to the equipment of the artillery. Their tiger squat gun has also achieved the equipment of fixed gunpowder at this time, so it is much simpler and more convenient to load ammunition than before. After pounding it with a cane, these tiger squat gunners immediately nailed their cannon claws to the ground, and then He shook the fire fold in his hand, lit the torch, and was ready to fire in a short time.

Huang Bo is Huang Shengqiang's deputy. Because Huang Shengqiang is responsible for commanding those Fran machine guns, he can't get out of it, so he handed over to Huang Bo's command. Huang Bo stretched out his head to look at the situation in the city, and immediately squatted down and shouted at the gunners, "Listen to me! It's aimed at the head of the city! "Fire!"

The prepared gunner immediately pressed the torch on the door of the tiger squat gun, and immediately raised more than a dozen groups of gunpowder smoke in the shield car. The defenders who were struggling to shoot arrows and guns at the bottom of the city on the wall did not expect to be bombarded by the thieves at such a close distance.

Each tiger squat gun is not only equipped with a large projectile, but also contains more than a hundred small lead bullets. More than a dozen tiger squat guns opened fire. Suddenly, it was like a rain of lead bullets on the wall. More than 20 defenders who stretched out their bodies and were shooting arrows immediately raised a mass of blood fog on their upper body and turned to the sky. After falling into the wall, their faces and chests became sieves, and they became flesh and bloodless, and it was almost impossible to recognize who they were. Some people died on the spot, and some people covered their flesh and blood and blood faces and howled like killing pigs. The city wall seemed to have become a human area at once.

Scared, many officers, soldiers and strong men quickly withdrew their bodies and hid behind the stack and did not dare to show their heads. In this way, the firepower of the defenders in the city was suddenly suffocated, which immediately attracted the cheers of many righteous soldiers in the city.

Only then did Yang Yulin find out that the thief soldiers actually used the cover of the shield car to send the tiger squat gun to the range of the city. He killed and injured dozens of his soldiers. He was so angry that he cursed and immediately commanded the tiger squat gun in the city to counterattack against the position of the thief's tiger squat gun.

I only heard the sound of cannons in the city, and the flame kept spitting out from the muzzle, throwing death on the other party's body.

Several shield cars were knocked to the ground by the defenders' tiger squat gun. After raiding the defenders in the city once, the gunners of the Xing Tianjun also realized the strength of the other party. There were at least a dozen tiger squat guns on the wall of Longzhou City. Dozens of steps were within the effective range of the tiger squat gun, although there were shield cars. Protection, but compared with the officers and soldiers hiding behind the stack on the wall, the artillery of the Xingtian Army are still at a disadvantage. After a few rounds of fire protection from both sides, the gunners on the side of the Xingtian Army paid a heavy price. Several gunners were killed on the scene and several people were injured. Even their deputy sentry general Huang Bo was hit by a cannon. He hit his right arm and hit his right arm with blood and flesh. As a last resort, these tiger squat gunners had to withdraw with tiger squat guns. They lost several more people on the way back before they were evacuated by the knife hand who answered them with a shield.
