Daming Military Empire

Chapter 398 A Wave of Siege

While Qin Yiming waited anxiously, five days passed quietly, and the Mughal Empire army still did not launch an attack. Lu Xiangsheng sent someone to contact him. The 30 troops of Ming Dynasty were already lurking [-] miles south of Goa. The telegraph line was also pulled over, and when the Mughal Empire army launched an attack, the Ming army would rush forward.

The main reason for doing this is to scare away the army of the Mughal Empire. Although this possibility is not very great, if you are not afraid of [-], you are just in case. Just run, then the early arrangements of the Ming army were not in vain.

Once they launch a siege battle, it will be different. Once the army is deployed, it will be difficult for them to run, unless they drop all the siege troops.

Looking forward, looking forward, until the eighth day, the Mughal Empire army finally built the siege equipment, but only 5 people, Dara Shik thinks 5 people are enough, after all, the city There are more than 1 defenders, and the rest are miners. Besides, he can't afford it. There is not much military food. After walking for more than a month, he was delayed here for a few days. The food and grass in the rear are almost out of supply. Yes, this also forced him to launch an attack.

Early in the morning on the ninth day, the Mughal Empire army got up very early, and by the time Chen arrived, they had already formed a formation in the north of Goa City. The infantry was in the rear, while [-] cavalry were secretly lurking in the west, facing the west direction of Goa City, because if the defenders in the city wanted to escape, they would most likely run to the west port.

It has to be said that the training of the main force of the Mughal Empire by the European powers was relatively successful. When they started to charge, Hou Shilu and Qin Yiming were taken aback. Nima, this is too shameless!
Not to mention that all the soldiers were hiding under the siege vehicles, they also stacked all the giant shields on the roof of the siege vehicles, and when they charged, they still used irregular formations, running around in a mess, This is quite in line with their free and undisciplined characters, so they ran happily one by one.

Hou Shilu and Qin Yiming had a headache. This kind of tortoise-shell siege vehicle can't be destroyed without solid bullets. The problem is that they ran around like this, and more than a dozen shells hit a siege vehicle at the same time. There is no possibility at all, the artillery is tantamount to useless!

After looking at it for a while, Hou Shilu had to shake his head and sighed: "Use flower bombs, maybe you can ignite a few vehicles, and if you don't ignite, it can cause a little damage to them."

Qin Yiming heard the words, and immediately ordered without hesitation: "Order, all the artillery will be loaded with explosive shells immediately, no need to aim, barrage attack, ten rounds!"

The standard bearer behind the two raised the command flag and waved it for a while, and soon, the artillery on the north wall was busy.

A first-class army plus a third-class army, there are 5 artillery pieces, minus the artillery carried by the [-] people in Mysore, there are still [-] artillery pieces. Hou Shilu and Qin Yiming were the main force in the Mughal Empire. On the north side of the attack, there were a full line of [-] artillery pieces of various types.

When the enemy is within the range, the artillery commander will wave the flag, "Boom boom boom" six hundred artillery fire a round of salvo, the power is simply shaking!
However, the [-] flowering bombs falling into the sparse and messy siege vehicle array did not have much effect. Not a single siege vehicle was lit at all, but the sputtering let Mo under the siege vehicle The soldiers of the Crouching Empire were slightly injured.

The roar of the artillery in the city really startled Dara Shik, but after seeing the effect of the artillery, he immediately curled his lips in disdain, and said contemptuously: "No wonder with more than 1 people dare to resist my 20 army , It turns out that there are too many artillery pieces, hmph, artillery has a fart in front of heavy armored infantry!"

The artillery in the city was still roaring non-stop. Dara Shik looked at the direction of the siege army proudly, as if admiring a fireworks feast. Looking at him, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and he suddenly turned his head to face The messenger behind shouted: "Quickly, tell Maru to be ready to attack at any time. The Portuguese in the city won't last long and will flee."

In his view, the artillery had failed, and the Portuguese must have been frightened. When the siege army rushed under the city wall, they should have fled in fright.

The one who is going to be in charge of the city is the Portuguese governor Conde. It is estimated that this will really make the bile spurt out. Unfortunately, the commanders in the city are the army generals Hou Shilu and Qin Yiming of the Ming Empire. They want to scare their bile Come out, unless the Mughal Empire is attacking the city with planes and tanks, this small scene is not enough to scare them.

The artillery has no effect, it's just a little troublesome, they still have more means!
At this time, the city wall was already lined with large oil pans, and the firewood under the oil pans was burning fiercely. The oil was about to boil, and a feast of braised pork was waiting for the siege army of the Mughal Empire.

It is impossible to say that Dara Shik is so idiot that he doesn't even know the simple method of pouring hot oil. The question is, where does so much oil come from in this day and age? It is rare for ordinary people to cook with oil and meat. In a small town It would be good if you can collect ten pots of cooking oil to pour on you. Most of the time, the defenders in the city still boil water, so he thinks that the defenders in the city are boiling water right now.

Boiled water is actually not that scary. If you pour it on your head, it will be so hot that you will die, but if you pour it from a high city wall, the effect will be much worse. In addition, the weather is still a bit cold, the effect will be worse. It was even worse, he didn't worry much at all, he just scorned in his heart: "Splash it, splash it, just treat them as a hot bath."

This can’t be blamed on his lack of consideration, he just overlooked a problem. Cooking oil is also a key material purchased by Ming and Portugal. More than half of the entire Mughal Empire’s cooking oil has been purchased and hoarded in Goa, let alone it. Tens of pots, even tens of thousands of pots can't be burned!

Therefore, the siege troops of the Mughal Empire were completely tragic. When they rushed to the city excitedly, set up the ladders, and were about to climb up, "crash, clatter, clatter" almost every ladder fell down with a hot pot Hot oil, scalding the heavy armored infantry next to the ladder made a ghost cry and howl.

This is not over yet, and then, the 'miners' on the city wall picked up the firewood under the oil pan and threw it at the bottom of the city wall. The entire northern city wall was suddenly engulfed in flames. At least thousands of people from the Mughal Empire The hoplites were set on fire.

This is not over yet, and then tens of thousands of grenades were thrown down on the city wall like rain. There was a loud "boom boom boom", and the entire city wall was covered by smoke. This wave of grenades was blown up by mistake Blow up all the fires under the city wall!

With so many grenades exploding together, the density of the steel needles can be imagined, almost everywhere. It can be said that everyone in the siege army of the Mughal Empire was hit, and everyone grinned in pain.

Still attacking a fart city, the ladders were all burned, everyone was injured, and many people were burned to the point of smoke everywhere, Dara Shik bulged his eyes and looked at all this in disbelief After watching for a while, he roared angrily: "Retreat!"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." a unique horn sounded, and the heavy armored infantry of the Mughal Empire retreated like a tide. They even threw away the siege vehicles and giant shields.

Wanting to leave is not that easy. Without waiting for Hou Shilu to speak, Qin Yiming immediately ordered loudly: "Command, all artillery is loaded with shotguns, no need to aim, barrage attack, ten rounds."

Run, run, it depends whether your armor is harder or the shells are harder!
