Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 130 Raiding Haizhou City

"Banner Master! Banner Master! The Liao Army has begun to attack our east wall, and the city is full of ladders and soldiers from the Liao Army! Brothers, we can't hold it anymore!"

After the artillery bombarded the east city wall violently, Chu Yun straddled his horse and commanded the most elite first infantry brigade to attack the east city under the cover of artillery!This attack was to relieve the pressure on Nancheng, and at the same time, Chu Yun wanted to use iron and blood to carry out a war baptism on the first brigade!Only after going through the trials and tribulations of the war can an iron army emerge from the ashes!

"It's your turn to go up and defend. Even if you die, you have to block the Liao army. Don't let them step up the city wall!" Based on the lesson of the south city wall, Yue Tuo had already prepared a reserve team under the city to replace the heavy casualties. The city wall defenders.

The biggest problem for the defenders was that they were frightened by the artillery. Many soldiers guarding the city wall did not dare to poke their heads out and shoot under the city wall.The artillery was roaring, and under the protection of the siege equipment such as the chariot, the musketeers all over the mountains came to kill them. Once they approached the city wall, they immediately suppressed the bows and arrows above with their muskets!

"Banner Master, Erbeile asks for reinforcements!" While Yue Tuo was nervously commanding the defense of the East City, Amin from the South City sent someone to ask him for help.

"The east city wall is in danger, how can I allocate troops to him?! Even if a small section of the city wall is gone, can't nearly ten thousand people still not be able to defend the south city?" Yue Tuo frowned, A Min is a veteran general of the Eight Banners, The conquest is decisive, is it possible that 4000 people from the Fuliao Military Region will rush in?
"It's not that Erbeile can't hold it, but that the Han and Mongol soldiers in our Xianglan Banner collapsed, which disrupted the formation of our banner soldiers and disrupted Erbeile's deployment!" Banner who came to ask for help Bing said.

For the tragic battle on the southern city wall, the flag soldiers of the veterans of hundreds of battles were still able to insist on fighting with the bayonets, cold guns and artillery from time to time of the Liao army, which did cause huge losses to Huang Weiyao's infantry who invaded the city.However, there are not only Jianzhou Banner soldiers in the Xianglan Banner, but also some Mongols and Han people who were incorporated into the Xianglan Banner. Some of them are armored soldiers, and some are auxiliary arms.Because the Jurchen population in Jianzhou is not large, it is impossible to make up for the loss of troops in the long-term war, so it is necessary to fill the Eight Banners with Mongols and Han people.

These Mongols and Han people do not have the tenacious beliefs of the Jianzhou Bannermen. They are more concerned about their own lives, and their combat experience is uneven.They were already timid in the face of the fierce artillery attack of the Liao Army, and now they encountered the Liao Army's intrusion into the city. In a panic, they and the nearby peasants fled one after another. Amin couldn't concentrate superior forces in time to plug the gap!

Now there are more and more infantry of the Liao army entering the city, and the artillery brigade is pushing more and more artillery into the city to bombard the defenders in the city!Only three or four shells are needed to collapse a Niu Lu's troops!This kind of shelling under the nose is a hundred times more deterrent than shooting inside the city from outside the city!
"Erbeile, there are more and more Liao troops, and the brothers can't hold it anymore!" Jiala Ezhen and Niu Lu Ezhen of the Liao army who were in charge of encircling and entering the gap found that their troops had been beaten into chaos. And the gap is not only not blocked, but also getting bigger and bigger!
"Bastard, even if you have to defend it at all costs! Lost Haizhou City, what face do we have to meet Xianhan!" Amin was furious.

Under Amin's order to die, the dying Eight Banners soldiers once again tried their best to attack the Liao army musketeers who occupied many houses!

"Everyone, hold on!" Huang Weiyao commanded his subordinates to attack according to the houses. With the houses as a cover, the damage of the Eight Banners soldiers' bows and arrows to them was greatly reduced.

And important alleys and streets are blocked and advanced by line infantry!
"The first person to reach the top of the city will be rewarded with 200 taels of silver!"

The attack and defense in the east of the city also changed rapidly. Under the cover of artillery, the [-]st Infantry Brigade attacked the damaged city wall without any suspense!
The excited Mrs. Yang even charged back and forth on the city wall with a bayonet!The guards around him anxiously followed Mrs. Yang to kill the enemy, lest their chief be surrounded by the enemy.

The defenders on the east wall were dazed by the artillery fire of the Liao army, unable to stop the soldiers of the Liao army who climbed up the wall from all directions.When the Fu Liao Army came to the top of the city, the first thing the soldiers guarding the city thought was not to fight the Fu Liao Army, but to run down the city desperately!
The crisis in the south city, and the attack of the Liao army in the east city, their confidence has been completely defeated by the Liao army!
"Anyone who retreats will be killed without mercy!" Yue Tuo, the leader of the banner with a red flag, supervised the battle under the city. He personally hacked to death several retreating soldiers with a big knife, but he still couldn't stop the madly retreating defenders!The defenders are more afraid of the Liao army than him!

"Banner owner, let's give up! The city wall has fallen, and we have no danger to defend!" The city guard with mud and blood on his face said anxiously to Yue Tuo.

Yue Tuo gritted his teeth when he saw the sudden erosion of the situation. He knew that the morale of the army had been lost, and it would be difficult to keep defending no matter what, so he had to order: "The personal guards are at the rear, and the other troops retreat to the north gate in an orderly manner!"

The soldiers and civilians in Haizhou City were in chaos.Because the people of Haizhou City who were affected by the war hid in their houses, they were still attacked by artillery fire and rioters, and mourned everywhere.The fleeing soldiers fled to the north city gate, which was not besieged by the Liao army. Mongolian soldiers, Han soldiers, and Jianzhou banner soldiers were crowded, and they wished they could grow a few more legs!

"Quickly open the city gate and let us out!" The deserters hijacked the soldiers guarding the city gate at the north gate and yelled to open the gate.

"Do not open the gate without the banner master's order!" The city guard at the north gate saw the defeated soldiers pouring in. He didn't know what happened at the east gate, but he still didn't dare to lead his troops to escape without Yue Tuo's order.

"Brothers, the Fu Liao Army is right behind. If we don't escape, we will be too late! Let's fight out!" The fleeing rebels simply attacked the North City Gate spontaneously, and the North City Gate was also engulfed in gunpowder smoke!
"Very good, the situation has stabilized a bit!" Amin from the South City commanded the Xianglan Banner to drive away the infantry and artillery who rushed into the South City Wall, which was regarded as a death order.Although they failed to drive the Liao army out, at least the gap was not widened again. Both sides suffered casualties, and the front line was stalemate with the houses a hundred steps away from the gap in the southern city wall.

"Urgent report! There is news from the red flag that Dongcheng has fallen, and Haizhou City has become a dangerous place. Yue Tuobeile asks Baylor to retreat quickly!"

Just when Amin breathed a sigh of relief, the sad news of Dongcheng's fall came, and Amin's eyes almost popped out.He managed to control the situation in the south city, but he didn't expect the east city to fall instead? !It's really tiring to have such a teammate!
