Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 146 One-sided tragic siege battle [Thanks to the lord for the reward]

East of Chengdu.

As more and more flying bridges were paved on the moat, the battle finally entered the most tragic stage of attacking and defending the city wall.

I saw many thieves carrying ladders or ordinary splicing long ladders, rushing forward forgetfully.

Some were shot to death by bows and arrows as soon as they crossed the river, and their ladders fell down.

Others were crushed to death by rolling stones as soon as they put their ladders on the city wall.

But as long as the ladder is not broken, bandit soldiers will come up and use the ladder to continue attacking the city.

Seeing that more and more bandit soldiers gathered under the city, groups of musketeers suddenly appeared on the top of the city.

"put!"

With the loud shouts of officers and generals and the waving of command flags, seven or eight or even a dozen firecrackers are often fired together.

Snapped!
There was no need to aim at all, the clear gunshots sounded, and several bandit soldiers were shot and fell down under the city.

As for the archers at the head of the city, they had already been ordered to shoot the leaders and generals among the bandits.

All of a sudden, none of the bandit soldiers who rushed to the bottom of the city wall climbed up the ladder, and suffered heavy casualties.

But since the thieves had passed the moat, they would naturally not allow the officers and soldiers to condescendingly shoot and kill themselves.

I saw that under the leadership of several thief generals, groups of thief archers came to the city wall.

"Cum in the forehead!"

As the thieves waved their flags and shouted, the archers of the thieves threw arrows towards the city together, forming a dense rain of arrows.

There was a rain of arrows, and at the beginning it was difficult for the defenders at the top of the city to show their faces, but they did not cause much damage.

One thing is that the armored rate of the Chengdu defenders is quite high now.

Second, there is a baffle specially designed to prevent arrow rain at the top of the city, and there are shield hands.

When a rain of arrows rains down, only a few unlucky ones are usually hit by the arrows, but as long as it is not the face, neck and other vital points, generally they will not die.

And not many people who were hit by the arrow fell to the ground and screamed, and some trained field nurses ran over and carried them away on a stretcher.

The nurse battalion and the wounded battalion have set up "field medical clinics" near the stairs on the four walls, and these wounded officers and soldiers can receive timely treatment.

Under the rain of arrows, the officers and soldiers on the city wall were not only not afraid, but they expected to kill a few more bandits and be rewarded for their contributions.

In addition to the brave soldiers on the city wall, there are teams of civilians who have been trained for nearly a month.

These folks are now doing some work on the city wall, such as carrying materials and helping to load ammunition.

But it only takes half a day for them to adapt to the battlefield environment and dare to show their heads against the city wall to kill thieves.

Because Min Zhuang can also be rewarded for his meritorious deeds, and if he is injured, he will also be sent to the field medical center for treatment.

In this way, the defenders on the four walls of Chengdu are all high-spirited, dare to fight and can fight!
···
"Splash gold juice and fire oil!"

A general saw that there were more and more ladders erected on the section of the city wall he was in charge of, and there were dense bandits under the city, so he shouted and issued new orders.

When pairs of veterans heard the sound, they immediately lifted up the stench of boiling iron pot with special tools and poured it down.

The stench filled the air with the wind, and there was a scream in the city.

"what!"

"my face!"

"Burn me to death!"

When the city was a little chaotic, someone scooped up a large iron spoon and sprinkled it with a large iron spoon. After several spoons were sprinkled, torches followed, and suddenly flames ignited under the city!

However, no matter what the soldiers defending the city did, they would take certain risks, and they might be shot by the bandit archers.

Conversely, the bandit archers cannot shoot arrows unscrupulously, because the archers and gunners of the defenders at the head of the city will take special care of them.

As a result, this offensive and defensive battle quickly entered a stage of pulling and torturing each other, and the degree of tragedy also skyrocketed.

However, the casualties of the attacking side are at least ten times that of the defending side, or even more...
"one two Three!"

With the sound of the officers and soldiers, a big black ball of mud that needed two people to hug and was fixed by a wooden frame was lifted onto the battlement.

An old bandit soldier who was climbing the ladder saw him, and immediately exclaimed: "The enemy of ten thousand people!"

As he said that, he shook the ladder decisively and fell to one side.

The thieves under the city looked up, and they also showed panic expressions. They wanted to escape, but it was already too late.

The ignited enemy of ten thousand fell down, and before it touched the ground, it exploded with a bang!

Immediately, countless iron nails and fragments of iron sputtered in all directions along with the fierce fire oil!

The high temperature of the explosion ignited the flame oil again, causing the flames to bloom around like a huge flame flower.

It's just that the flame flowers are beautiful, but they are going to devour people's lives.

Hundreds of thieves died in the sea of ​​flames just for this one ten thousand enemy, and hundreds of people were injured by it.

As for the frightened bandits, there were too many.

In the army formation.

Li Dingguo, who was standing on the watch car, saw the gorgeous flames, and couldn't help frowning.

This time, not only the newly attached Sichuan soldiers were attacking the city, but also many brave soldiers under his command.

Although the ordinary soldiers who dare to fight are not as precious as the elite, he has always cherished the soldiers. Seeing the casualties of the soldiers, he just feels as painful as a drop of blood.

Ma Siliang, who was standing beside him, also frowned, and couldn't help but said: "Cousin, these dog officers and soldiers are too good at fighting, Chengdu will transfer all the officers and soldiers who can fight to the east wall, right?"

Hearing this, Li Dingguo couldn't help but glared at Ma Siliang, and said, "What are you guessing? It would be great if the Chengdu guard really did what you said, then we might be able to break the city today."

After speaking, Li Dingguo continued to wait and see the front east wall, and found that none of his own side seemed to be able to climb the top of the city, so he issued an order: "Let the current attackers withdraw to rest, and each department will allocate another 3 people to continue the attack.

In addition, let Hu Shundu and Wang Daoheng each bring their own hands to sneak in and try to dig a hole under the city wall! "

"Respect!"

The messenger took the command flag and left.

Li Dingguo looked at the city wall with a cold light in his eyes.

According to the strategy discussed by their three brothers and their adoptive father, it would be great if they could take down Chengdu with an overwhelming force.

If not, use the absolutely superior force to take turns to attack the city without stopping.

One is to drag down the defenders.

The second is to divert the attention of the defenders, let people dig holes under the city wall, and use the "stick method" to break the city.

The so-called stick method is to use gunpowder to set off a super big firecracker.

Although the stick technique is powerful, it is not something that any team can use.

One must have enough gunpowder, at least a few thousand catties—judging by the thickness of the city walls of Chengdu, it is not too much to put tens of thousands of catties in one place.

Second, there must be talents who know how to throw sticks - this gunpowder can't be put together and ignited to blow up the city wall, it must be particular about it.

What to pay attention to specifically, that is the military secret of their Great Western Army.

Finally, if you encounter a wall that is too thick, such as the walls of Nanjing and Beijing, which are at least a few feet wide, you don't need to consider the method of placing the staff.

···
The battle continued until noon, and it still didn't end.

Yang Zhan ate a few noodle cakes with the wax gourd stewed meat soup that Huotoujun sent to the city wall, then frowned and looked down the city wall.

It's a pity that although the city wall has a slight slope, it is too long, and there are many protruding horse faces, and there are several corners. Even if he stands on the tower, he can't see the bottom of the city wall.

As for the outcropping of each section of the city wall to check, not to mention the trouble, it is easy to be shot and killed by bandit soldiers.

He remembered that at the military meeting of the Western Mansion, Zhu Yu had emphatically said that Zhang Xianzhong was most likely to break through the city with the "stick method", and all the city wall guards must be careful.

With years of combat experience, Yang Zhan felt that the tempo of the bandits' attack on Chengdu was not right, and they seemed to be covering up other actions.

He felt that it was very likely that the bandit soldiers were digging the city, preparing for the "stick release method".

After thinking about it, Yang Zhan came to the back of the city gate, looked at the tablet computer, and saw that the flying hand was still stupidly monitoring the bandit formation, which was a bit funny.

He patted Yuan Guo on the shoulder and said, "Team Leader Yuan, don't you have two drones? Let the other take off to look at the base of our city wall. Yang suspects that bandits are digging the city somewhere."

Yuan Guo nodded and said, "No problem."

In fact, their group is not two drones, but three.

Two of them are used to monitor the changes of the enemy's formation in turn, and one is used as a backup.

Although a drone ran out of battery not long ago and was sent to be charged, Yuan Guo knew that what Yang Zhan said was very important, so he decided to activate the backup drone.

Under Yang Zhan's watchful eye, the backup soon flew hundreds of meters into the air inside the gate tower.

The sun is shining brightly. From this altitude, the drone is just a blurry shadow. People who don’t understand it will only think it’s a strange bird, and it’s impossible to think of anything else.

This is why the Flying Eagles dared to use drones to detect the enemy's situation before the implementation of the "UAV beheading plan"...
The spare micro-drone crossed the city wall at high altitude, pointed the camera at the east city wall, and flew slowly from south to north, and the scene at the bottom of the east city wall was also slowly changing on the tablet.

"It's not right here!"

Yang Zhan's eyes were bright, and he quickly noticed a pile of corpses piled up by bandit soldiers.

It was Chang Wei who was controlling the tablet now, and he zoomed in on the camera when he heard this.

Sure enough, between the piles of people and the piles of corpses, bandit soldiers kept sending soil out.

Obviously, bandits are digging the city here!
