Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 169 Fierce Siege Battle
"Kill me!"

A Niu Luzhang Jing of Hanzhenglan Banner brandished a long knife in his hand, pointed at the city wall of Zunhua City and roared angrily.

The soldiers pushing the ladder cart used all their strength, and finally pushed the ladder cart to a place about ten steps away from the city wall.

There were only four ladder carts that could be safely pushed to the bottom of the city wall. The rest were either burned by rockets fired by the soldiers defending the city, or their wheels were smashed by the Francophones on the top of the city.

"Set up a cloud ladder!"

Following the roar of a Niu Luzhang Jing, the soldiers of the Hanzheng Lanqi quickly spun the winch behind the ladder.

The folded ladder on the ladder truck is rising at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Oh!"

When the ladder on the ladder truck leaned against the crenel on the city wall, there was a loud noise.

The iron hook at the front end of the ladder firmly grasped the other side of the crenel, connecting the whole ladder firmly to the city wall.

Mang Gurtai looked at the ladder going up, laughed wildly and said, "Haha, the event is settled!"

Wilde looked at the climbing ladder and roared angrily, "Third, fourth, fifth waves, let me kill you!"

When the soldiers of Hanzhenglan Banner looked at the climbing ladder, their eyes were scarlet.

They waved the knives in their hands and climbed up the ladder.

Wang Yuanya looked at the Hanzheng Blue Banner soldiers who looked like ants, his eyes opened wide, "Roll the wood and beat the stone, roll the wood and beat the stone."

As soon as Wang Yuanya's words fell, countless thick logs and stones the size of human heads flew from the top of the city towards the Hanzheng blue flag soldiers on the ladder.

"Oh!"

A Hanzheng Blue Banner soldier holding a shield had just climbed to the middle of the ladder when a stone the size of a human head fell directly from above.

He didn't have time to dodge, and was hit by a stone directly.

The shield in his hand couldn't withstand the impact of the stone at all, his whole body stopped, and then his five orifices bleed, he fell from the ladder, and lay motionless on the ground.

When the stone hit the shield in his hand, it rebounded, and the direction of the stone that was rolling down the ladder changed instantly, and it flew straight into the air.

For a moment, the Han Zhenglan Banner soldier who was climbing up at the bottom of the ladder car was directly smashed into a large area.

Blood and brains splashed out directly.

"Give it to me, don't stop for a moment!"

A Niu Luzhang Jing squatted behind the large shield of the ladder car holding a shield, waving the knife in his hand and shouting at the soldiers.

A few archers squatting behind the large shield of the ladder cart directly opened their bows and set up arrows, and shot towards Wang Yuanya on the top of the wall.

When the bow and arrow were about to hit Wang Yuanya, several soldiers guarding Wang Yuanya raised their shields and directly wrapped Wang Yuanya inside.

"Dangdangdang!"

The bow and arrow hit the shield wrapped in iron, making a dull sound.

Wang Yuanya was in a cold sweat for a moment. After all, he was just a scholar. He had never seen such a scene before.

Wang Yuanya looked down the city with lingering fear, and said to the guards beside him: "Send down the order to let the sharpshooters defending the city aim at the Jiannu archers below to shoot. These people are too much of a threat."

"Yes!"

One of the guards yelled at Wang Yuanya, then raised the shield above his head, leaned forward, and walked along the city wall.

A giant log with a thickness of one foot and a length of one foot was used as a beam for the house, which was picked up by several guarding soldiers and thrown towards the bottom of the city.

"Boom boom boom!"

The giant log was nailed with nearly a foot of nails. When the giant log rolled down the ladder, the nails on it directly pierced into the body of the Hanzheng Blue Banner soldier on the ladder.

These nails poked a hole, mercilessly reaping the lives of Hanzheng Blue Banner soldiers.

The giant log is very heavy, especially because it is covered with nails nearly a foot long.When this giant tree rolled down the ladder, the Hanzheng Lan Banner soldiers on the entire ladder were swept away.

The two sections of this giant log are wrapped in iron sheets, and on the iron sheets are two thick ropes mixed with tendons and iron wires.

"pull!"

A soldier on the top of the city yelled, and five or six soldiers directly grabbed the thick rope in their hands desperately.

Not long after, the giant tree was pulled up again.

This giant wood is a simple mace.

"put!"

Five or six steps away from here, there is a huge shelf, which directly protrudes outside the city wall, and a giant log with a thickness of two or three feet is hung on it.

The giant wood was covered with iron sheets and iron nails more than a foot long.

Beside the shelf stood a gigantic winch with iron chains tied to it with huge logs.

This giant tree is a serious mace.

A soldier scooped out a ladle of kerosene from a wooden barrel on the side and poured it directly on top.

He took a torch from behind the city wall and directly ignited the giant log.

"boom!"

In an instant, the entire giant tree burned violently.

The iron sheet wrapping the giant wood quickly turned red.

The soldier put down the torch in his hand and shouted, "Let it go!"

As soon as the words fell, the soldier controlling the winch let go of the handle on the winch.

"Crash!"

In an instant, the winch spun rapidly, and the giant tree was also falling rapidly.

A Hanzheng Lanqi soldier who had just climbed to the middle of the ladder was directly slapped on the forehead by the mace.

The nails on that go straight through the skull and into the brain.

Before he even uttered a scream, he was killed by the mace.

The flame on the giant log directly ignited the cotton armor on his body, and his whole body burned violently.

The whole person rolled down the ladder directly, and directly set the soldiers following him on fire.

In an instant, the ladder truck burned violently.

Looking at the burning ladder, Wilde said in a cold voice, "Go to the siege tower, the ladder, and the door ram!"

When Wilde's words just fell, a giant wooden tower structure much higher than the city wall appeared from behind the army formation, and slowly moved towards the city wall.

The siege arrow tower is a device used for siege in the cold weapon era. It is a wooden tower structure with four wheels below it, which can be moved.

There is a tower built on it. When the siege arrow tower moves to a place not far from the city head, it can shoot arrows at the defenders condescendingly.

As for the door bumper, this is a device used to break through the city gate.

The whole car is extremely long and narrow, with four huge wheels underneath.

Above the car is a relatively large wooden frame.

Under the wooden frame hangs a huge log covered with iron sheets.

When the door-ramming car came to the city gate, the soldiers pushing the cart would swing the giant log and ram it towards the city gate.

When the arrow tower appeared, Fu Jianying's heart skipped a beat.

Pointing to the arrow tower that suddenly appeared, he shouted to the gunner who was dealing with the Frang machine artillery: "The siege arrow tower, use the Frang machine to smash it to pieces. If you let him get close to the city wall, the consequences will be disastrous."

At this time, the gun barrel of the Frang machine had completely cooled down, and the gunners who controlled the Frang machine hurriedly pointed the Flang machine at the arrow tower that had just crossed the moat, and directly stuffed the sub-guns of the Frang machine into it.

"fire!"

Fu Jianying looked at the Frang machine that had been loaded, and roared hastily.

"Oh!"

Four groups of flames burst out from the top of the city, and projectiles flew towards the arrow tower like a gust of wind and rain.

"Crackling!"

The projectile directly hit the tower on the arrow tower, killing a large number of Han Zhenglan Banner soldiers who were about to draw their bows and shoot arrows.

The wooden boards used to protect the soldiers on the tower of the Arrow Tower were also smashed by the Franc machine, and the entire tower was smashed, leaving only the wooden platform for the soldiers.

"Give it to me, don't stop!"

Looking at the dead and wounded soldiers on the arrow tower, Wilde roared angrily.

"Boom!"

A dozen or so archers climbed towards the top of the arrow tower under the cover of the people next to them.

Under the arrow tower, the soldiers who controlled the movement of the arrow tower severely whipped the whip on the horse pulling the arrow tower.

Five or six horses pulling the arrow tower neighed and screamed and moved slowly forward.

The horses pulling the arrow towers are specially trained to keep calm under the attack of artillery fire.

At the same time, the horses pulling the arrow towers were also blindfolded.

At the same time, the ladder car that was catching up behind was also close to the city wall, and the soldiers controlling the ladder car hurriedly and frantically turned the winch of the ladder car.

The folded wooden ladder on the ladder cart climbed up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The crashing car was also approaching the city gate at this time.

Niu Luzhang Jing, who escorted the crashed car, waved the long knife in his hand, pointed at the city gate, and shouted angrily: "Crash!"

As soon as the words fell, dozens of strong and strong men picked up the wooden hammer on the crash car and swung towards the city gate.

"Boom, bang, bang!"

Every time the crash car hits, it makes a dull sound.

The city gate also began to vibrate non-stop under the impact of the crash.

Standing at the top of the city, Wang Yuanya hurriedly shouted: "The enemy of ten thousand people, fire oil, burn them to death. Don't let them break the gate of the city. Also, immediately send someone to block the gate of the city with earth and rocks."

As soon as Wang Yuanya finished speaking, several hundred households hurried down the city with their troops.

At the same time, the defenders on the top of the city also put the wooden barrels filled with kerosene on the top of the city, and poured the kerosene inside towards the bottom.

The Hanzheng Lan Banner soldiers who were hitting the city gate were suddenly drenched in kerosene.

"Hoohoo!"

A torch fell from the sky and fell directly on them.

In an instant, the Hanzhenglan Banner soldiers who were drenched in kerosene burned violently.

Together with the crash, it also burned violently at this moment.

An iron casing the size of a human head fell from the sky, and the violently burning fuse on it sizzled.

When the fuze burned out, the thing exploded with a bang.

Countless iron filings and rocks erupted from the inside, directly hitting the Hanzheng Blue Banner soldiers who were struggling violently.

For a time, the soldiers of the Han Zhenglan Banner at the city gate were killed and injured countless times.

As time passed, the eight ladder trucks had firmly hooked the ladder above the city.

The soldiers of the Hanzheng Blue Banner standing next to them rushed forward and attacked the city.

Fu Jianying looked at the Hanzheng Lanqi soldiers who were climbing up like ants from below, and hurriedly shouted: "Golden juice, kerosene, pour it on me!"

After hearing Fu Jianying's roar, the defenders hurriedly took the boiling iron pot off the side shelf and poured it down the ladder.

"Crash!"

All of a sudden, the bodies of countless Han Zhenglan Banner soldiers were drenched with gold juice.

"what!!!"

There were horrific howls from their mouths as the golden juice poured down from their heads.

The golden juice is the excrement of people and animals, which is diluted with water and finally boiled.

This kind of thing was often used in ancient city defense battles.

The extremely high-temperature golden juice is not something the armor can block, and the high temperature directly scalds the flesh under the armor in an instant.The exposed skin was directly torn apart by the hot golden juice.

Even if someone is lucky enough to survive, they will eventually die of infection.

After all, there are no antibiotics in this era, and any infection can kill a person.

When pots of golden juice were poured down from the top of the head, the entire ladder was instantly cleared.

At this time, the young and strong recruited on the top of the city became more and more proficient, much better than when they just climbed the city wall.

"Fire oil, burn down their ladder cars!"

Fu Jianying pointed at the ladder car under the city and shouted sharply.

"Crash!"

Barrels of kerosene were directly poured down by the city guards along the ladder cart, and a torch was thrown down by the city guards.

The ladder car was on in an instant.

It's a pity that only two or three ladder trucks were burned, and the ladder trucks of Hanzheng Lanqi were still coming towards the city wall.

But at this moment, the siege arrow tower had crossed the moat and came directly to a distance of twenty or thirty steps from the city wall.

The archers on the arrow tower directly opened their bows and set up arrows, and began to counterattack towards the defenders on the top of the city.

"Whoosh!"

An arrow flew towards Wang Yuanya, and a guard who followed Wang Yuanya hurriedly threw Wang Yuanya on the ground to avoid the arrow.

The guard next to him raised the shield in his hand and immediately surrounded the two of them.

Arrows clanged against the shield.

"My lord, it's dangerous here, please evacuate my lord!" The guard shouted urgently.

Wang Yuanya scolded angrily: "I am an official ordered by the imperial court, and I have the responsibility to guard the city. If the city is alive, the city will be destroyed and the people will die."

Holding a long knife in her hand, Wang Yuanya directly pushed away the guards and rushed towards a more dangerous place on the top of the city.

The archers on the arrow tower were condescending and kept shooting arrows towards the top of the city.

For a moment, the garrison on the top of the city was overwhelmed and did not dare to look up.

Many soldiers defending the city were directly shot by the arrows on the arrow tower, and their bodies were filled with arrows and fell to the ground.

The soldiers of the Han Zhenglan Banner under the city also took advantage of this gap to climb on the ladder cart and headed for the city.

"Frangji, blast these bastards to death!"

Fu Jianying looked at the Hanzheng Lanqi soldiers who kept shooting arrows on the arrow tower, his face was frosty, and he roared sharply.

"Bang bang bang!"

The four Flang machines aimed at the arrow tower one after another, and let out earth-shattering roars.

"Crash!"

The archers on the siege tower fell like dumplings.

The pressure on the top of the city was instantly reduced. The defenders stood up hastily. Just as they were about to throw rolling wooden stones and golden juice kerosene down the city, a Hanzheng Lanqi soldier waved a long knife in his hand and jumped directly from the ladder. He jumped up and climbed directly onto the city wall.

"Not good, Jiannu is attacking."

Fu Jianying secretly thought that something was wrong, and hurriedly led his servants towards that side.

Before the soldier guarding the city had time to react, his neck was chopped off by the Han Zhenglan Banner soldier who jumped onto the city wall.

In an instant, blood spattered.

Wilde, who was standing in the rear, looked at the soldier who was attacking the top of the wall, with a smile on his face.

"Haha, the overall situation is settled, the overall situation is settled! Pass my order, the whole army will attack!"

Wilde looked ahead, pointed the long knife in his hand at the city wall, and roared loudly.

For a while, the remaining soldiers and horses moved towards the front wall of Zunhua City with various siege weapons.

At this moment, Wilde put all the ladder cars, siege towers and crash cars on it.

"Kill kill kill!"

The Han Zhenglan Banner soldier who attacked the top of the city screamed and slashed around indiscriminately.

Behind him, soldiers of the Hanzheng Blue Banner jumped onto the top of the wall one after another.

Almost all those guarding this section of the city wall are young men who have just been recruited. It is okay to let them stand on the top of the city and throw stones and pour oil on fire. Soldiers, but it is impossible.

When these Hanzheng Blue Banner soldiers attacked the top of the city, the first thing these young and strong men thought was not how to kill them, but they all went to hide behind.
