Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 276 Attacking Shengjing ([-])

The Qing army defending the city did not wait blindly for the new army to attack. They mobilized a batch of rockets, threw them on the city wall, and shot them onto the pontoon bridge, intending to burn it down.

Although rockets were hit on the deck of the pontoon bridge, the fireballs on the rocket heads were not enough to quickly ignite the thick planks.

What's more, before laying the wooden boards, the wolf soldiers deliberately soaked the wooden boards in the moat, one is to make the wooden boards stronger after absorbing water, and the other is to prevent fire.

It couldn't be burned with rockets, so the Qing army simply sent people out with kerosene, ready to pour it on the pontoon bridge and burn it down.

However, as soon as they came out, they were stunned by the machine guns of the new army, and then gave up their actions in embarrassment.

Knowing that the Qing army would definitely use the pontoon bridge as one of their main targets, Tangning had already sent a team of soldiers to defend the bridge.

If the pontoon bridge that was finally laid was secretly burned by the Qing army, it would really make people vomit blood.

Sure enough, the Qing army did not give up. At night, they tried to repeat the same trick in the dark, but were discovered by the soldiers of the new army guarding the bridge. A shuttle of bullets passed by, and the bridge did not burn. Instead, they set themselves on fire.

The next day was another day, and without Tangning trying to encourage them, the morale of the wolf soldiers was not discouraged by yesterday's failure, and they were still full of energy.

Tangning still sent wolf soldiers to take the lead, but this time he changed his strategy and attacked the city in two ways at the same time.

One team continued to attack the city from the gap, while the other team used ladders to attack the city wall, in case the defenders on the city wall could free up their hands to attack from above like yesterday.

The wolf soldiers attacking the gap took the first step. They quickly passed the pontoon bridge, then rushed through the gap, and fought fiercely with the defenders.

The second team of wolf soldiers who were in charge of attacking the city wall carried the ladders and rushed across the moat, then put a ladder on the city wall and began to climb and attack the city.

The defenders on the city wall had to concentrate on dealing with the wolf soldiers climbing up the city wall through the ladder, which greatly reduced the pressure on the wolf soldiers who attacked from the gap.

However, the wolf soldiers who attacked the city paid a high price. During the climbing process, they could almost only passively withstand various attacks from the defenders, such as arrows, rolling logs, boiling water, and even hot oil. So much for it.

Tangning had been observing the fierce battle, and when she saw that the wolf soldiers who entered from the gap were still unable to attack for a long time, she hurriedly ordered [-] white soldiers to go to support.

Under Qin Gongming's order, the white pole soldiers responded immediately, and the 3000 people who had already prepared rushed out quickly.

After passing the floating bridge, support the wolf soldiers from the gap.

The white pole soldiers are a special unit built according to the unique local terrain, suitable for combat in various complex terrains, and their fierceness is no less than that of wolf soldiers.

At this time, most of the long spears that refused to stick in immediately had been cut off due to the impact of the wolf soldiers, and the impact on the white soldiers was much smaller.

The spears in the hands of the white pole soldiers are specially made. The long poles are made of strong ash tree, with a hook with a blade on the top and a hard iron ring on the bottom.

In combat, the hook can be used to cut and pull, and the ring can be used as a hammer weapon.

After they followed the wolf soldiers and charged in, they formed a battle formation, and the spears with hooked blades in their hands stabbed fiercely, extremely fiercely.

One inch long and one inch strong, the spears in the hands of the white-armed soldiers were more than one foot long, longer than the spears in the hands of the Qing army.

The wolf soldiers took advantage of the situation and fought at close range with the Qing army. Seeing the situation, the white soldiers quickly charged the enemy's two wings.

The two sides fought in the dark. Although the Qing army resisted very tenaciously, their strength was obviously weak, so they were killed and retreated steadily.

But it didn't take long for their decline to stop, because the reinforcements arrived.

A large number of reinforcements appeared on the wall of the Wengcheng, and Zhang Gong shot from all directions condescendingly, causing a lot of damage to the white soldiers and wolf soldiers in the Wengcheng, and they had no choice but to switch from attack to defense.

Of course, some Qing troops were accidentally injured, but for the sake of victory, they didn't care so much.

Moreover, at the gap leading to the inner city, the Qing army also set up many obstacles, and the brigade of the Qing army deployed layers of defenses, and the retreat of the Qing army in the Wengcheng was also blocked.

Therefore, their role is to kill more white soldiers and wolf soldiers, and these people also know their mission.

Tangning immediately noticed the danger of the white soldiers and wolf soldiers. With an order, more than [-] new troops rushed out.

Crossing the moat through the pontoon bridge, braved various attacks such as arrows and stones on the city wall, rushed into the urn city from the gap.

More than [-] people are equivalent to the strength of four battalions, and these four battalions were immediately dispersed according to each unit.

Each battalion has a German weapon platoon, full of 36 people, equipped with two machine guns, five submachine guns, two 81mm mortars, 27 98K and 36 pistols, and some ammunition.

"Dong dong dong..." The shield soldiers set up a shield wall for the first time, facing the four sides of the urn city.

A few openings were purposely left in the shield wall as shooting holes, and the soldiers of the new army had already cooperated very tacitly.

The machine gunner half-kneeled on the ground, raised the muzzle of the machine gun, and fired at the enemy troops on the wall of Wengcheng.

"Chi Chi Chi..." MG42's terrifying tearing sound sounded, and the defenders who were still shooting with bows and arrows suddenly fell down.

Many people's bodies were torn apart on the spot, and what flew down from the city wall were no longer arrows, but their flesh and blood.

Although the eight machine guns were not enough to cover Ruoda's Wengcheng all around, the simple bunker made up of new military shields could be moved.

Under the command of the observer, the soldiers holding the shields will turn left and right as a whole, and the machine guns mounted on the shields will also turn their muzzles.

There are also submachine guns and rifles that will cooperate in a timely manner, immediately suppressing the fierce enemy troops on the wall of the urn city, and the defenders who occasionally want to come out and continue shooting have to take great courage and risk.

The timely support of the new army changed the situation of the white soldiers and wolf soldiers at once, and the morale was shaken immediately. The shields defending the defenders on the wall of the Wengcheng were quickly withdrawn and changed from defense to offense.

The Qing army in Wengcheng was unable to retreat. Although they resisted fiercely, they were all wiped out due to the disparity in strength.

The wolf soldiers rushed to the gap in the inner city, and the white soldiers quickly followed.

Blocking the gap were more refusal horses, and even two or three floors were built, with long spears stuck in row upon row, making it even more difficult to climb.

The new army did not rush to the gap, but to the closed city gate.

The defenders who observed the movement of the new army immediately threw logs, stones, etc. down from the city wall to prevent the soldiers of the new army from approaching the city gate.

The submachine gun immediately suppressed it with firepower, and when the two Qing soldiers were lifting a log and were about to throw it down, their bodies suddenly froze, and then lost their strength.

As soon as his hands softened, the log fell straight down, knocking his fragile body over.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, several soldiers of the new army quickly took out a grenade each, pulled the rope, and threw it onto the tower.

"Boom boom boom..." After a burst of explosions, several soldiers rushed forward, packed several explosives together, and yanked the fuse violently.

The other new troops had already avoided the frontal position of the city gate, and with the violent explosion, the entire Wengcheng seemed to shake a few times.

The city gate leading to Shengjing was blown to pieces like paper.
