Mystery Sixth Middle School A large number of Polu soldiers jumped over the collapsed city wall and advanced towards the center of Xinghua City.
The Xinghua outer garrison, which was beaten into a state of fright, retreated before the two sides could make large-scale contact.
Just as the soldiers of the Polu Army were rushing toward the inner city, darkness emerged, and a few cold lights flashed.
The soldiers at the front swayed suddenly, stopped, struggled and fell to the ground.
Blood flowed out from under the armor and flowed along the bluestone ground to the dark ditches on both sides.
"There is an ambush, everyone, be careful," Wang Laoshi shouted, jumped up and threw himself behind an old tree on the side of the road.
Three feathered arrows immediately appeared where he had just been standing, and the sharp arrows caused sparks to fly on the bluestone pavement.
"Light the grenade, front left, throw it."
Wang Laoshi called to his brothers, took out the grenade from his waist, wiped the ignition cord and threw it out.
With the sound of explosion, fires rose up one by one in the front left.
Behind the fuel weeds, a long section of blue brick wall is exposed.
At the corner, two adjacent brick and stone watchtowers appeared.
"His grandma actually has an inner city.
I said the people in the outer city were defeated so quickly."
Wang Laoshi shouted cursingly.
While arranging manpower to report the situation to the rear, he ordered his subordinates to set fire to all nearby vegetation that could be ignited, so as to prevent their brothers who were holding Song Ming from becoming a target for the opponent's archers.
Before the murderer Wang Suodu evacuated Xinghua, in order to prevent Xinghua from being recaptured by King Qin of the Song Dynasty again, he deliberately demolished the outer city wall.
Therefore, the Pu brothers also focused Xinghua's defense on the second line of defense.
Along the perimeter of the inner city, a watchtower was built every dozen steps.
Some are hidden within the city walls, and some are built on top of the city walls.
Archers hide in enemy towers and use lookout points to block the enemy's attack route.
Since Xinghua City had become a military camp, the scouts of the Polu Army were unable to sneak in and detect the defense situation in the city in time.
So the offensive stopped abruptly at the base of the inner city wall.
The city garrison did not expect that the outer defense line, which he used to delay the enemy and gain preparation time for the inner city defense, would collapse so quickly.
The two sides, who were ill-prepared, were in a stalemate under the inner city.
The Polu army was unable to advance deeper into Xinghua, and the left-wing army failed to seize the favorable opportunity to give its opponent a head-on attack.
"Heavy armored soldiers, raise their shields and defend in one line.
Crossbowmen, seal their observation holes.
Order soldiers, go to the rear to activate the artillery for me.
Throwers, put grenades into the enemy's buttholes for me."
Wang Laoshi observed After a while, I finally discovered the flaw in the opponent's defense layout. , under his command, the various arms of a battalion quickly deployed and formed a formation to attack the enemy one by one.
More than fifty heavily armored soldiers walked to the front row, holding up their iron-clad shields.
They were the first batch of soldiers in the army equipped with improved Mingguang armor.
This kind of Mingguang armor, developed by the Department of Science and Technology by combining the characteristics of curved plate armor and chain armor from the Western Regions, is made of tempered fine steel wire, and key parts are covered with a turtle shell stamped by water hammer.
Thin steel plates to minimize damage from archers.
Therefore, during the attack, the heavily armored soldiers walked to the front of the team without hesitation.
Drunkard's Note: Brushed metal originated in West Asia in the sixth century BC.
Plate armor technology first appeared in Iran.
Turtle-shell armor can effectively disperse the impact of arrows. " The human wall composed of Mingguang armor and giant wooden shields slowly approached the enemy tower.
The crossbowmen of the Polu Army pressed their bodies behind the heavy armored soldiers, looking for opponents, and knocked over the enemy soldiers who dared to show their heads in the city wall and enemy tower.
At the end of the team was a full-time bombardier, carrying a simple catapult made of bamboo on his back and two burlap bags on his waist.
Through the cloth bags, round grenades were exposed.
Bows and arrows came like raindrops and hit the shield, making a noisy clanking sound.
The Polu bow fired back quickly, and the crossbow arrows hit the enemy tower and scattered rocks.
The archers from both sides began to wrestle.

Slowly, the defenders hiding in the enemy tower gradually occupied the upper peak by virtue of their height advantage.
A few grenades were thrown out, hit the wall of the enemy building, bounced, and exploded.
After the black smoke dissipated, a row of small pits appeared on the watchtower, and the white stone stubble was exposed, glowing brightly under the firelight.
The archers in the enemy tower paused and quickly recovered from their panic.
When they discovered that the masonry watchtower could provide them with shelter, they burst into triumphant laughter, and their bows and arrows shot more accurately and more quickly.
"Pa", a powerful crossbow shot out from the watchtower and penetrated the wooden shield.
A gap was created in the defense line.
The dying soldier struggled on the tripod of shield and crossbow, his hands reaching into the dark night sky.
Sharp arrows then came in from this gap and shot down several crossbowmen who were not equipped with heavy armor.
"Don't panic, raise your shields and fill the gap.
Archers, in groups of two, concentrate on sealing a watchtower."
Wang Laoshi shouted loudly, feeling so distressed that he broke into a cold sweat.
Although each soldier of the first standard is equipped with different types of armor of the Polu Army according to different types of arms, they will not die immediately after being hit by an arrow.
But the ever-increasing number of lottery numbers has taken a huge toll on morale.
Half of his battalion were soldiers recruited from the newly attached armies, and their combat effectiveness and morale were not as strong as those of the veterans on Baizhang Ridge.
Being at a disadvantage for a long time will inevitably lead to the danger of the entire camp collapsing.
"King Tou, can you ask a few brothers to protect me and come closer?"
A naive voice sounded from the grenadiers.
Wang Laoshi turned around when he heard the sound and saw Liu Dachun's somewhat pale face.
"I, I, I herded sheep," Liu Dachun explained stammeringly.
He was a rebel in the new vassal army attacking Shaowu.
Because he defected before the battle and promptly informed the Polu army of Yate's detailed breakout plan, he was awarded the title of Dutou.
But in the eyes of Wang Laoshi and other veterans of the Polu Army, these new auxiliary troops were very discriminated against, and they were placed in the middle of the team when charging.
They were not allowed to be in the vanguard, but someone was watching from behind to prevent them from escaping when they collapsed.
Wang Laoshi glared at Liu Dachun, not wanting to accept the other party's suggestion.
He was not very sure about the ability and morale of these supplementary soldiers.
But the stalemate battle situation in front of him left him with no other choice.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally nodded and ordered a few heavy armored soldiers to use shields to protect the volunteer.
Under the cover of the archers of the Polu army, Liu Dachun and his party slowly approached the city wall in front.
Braving the rain of arrows above his head, Liu Dachun raised his head, pulled out the grenade from his waist, wiped the fuse on the sole of his shoe, lit it, and threw it out when there was about an inch left in the cord.
The medical thread coated with white phosphorus emitted blue flames in mid-air and followed the fuse into the grenade.
At the watchtower entrance, a beautiful flower exploded out of the air.
Colorful petals fell to the ground, green smoke rose from the watchtower, and several arms hung feebly from the observation holes.
"Good boy, good enough!"
Wang Laoshi shouted, directing the archers to cover Liu Dachun as he approached another enemy tower.
The defenders in the enemy building obviously noticed the approaching danger.
They gave up on their opponents and fired arrows at Liu Dachun.
In a moment, the two heavy armored soldiers were injured and fell to the ground.
Liu Dachun, who had lost his shelter, was pushed into a corner.
"Heavy armored soldiers, press me over.
Grenadier, come up with me and show off your unique skills."
Wang Laoshi was completely irritated, picked up a few grenades, and rushed out of the team with a single step.
The body swayed three times and disappeared under the base of the city wall.
Upon seeing this, several captains under his command quickly organized manpower to cover.
A dozen heavily armored soldiers rushed out of the formation at the risk of death, moving as fast as possible within the enemy's shooting range, trying their best to attract the opponent's attention.

The attention of the archers in the enemy tower was attracted by the heavy armored soldiers, and their crossbow arrows hit the Mingguang Armor in random numbers.
Some were ejected from the plate armor, and some were stuck in the locks like thorns.
The soldiers who suffered the pain did not even groan, and endured the pain to keep up with the formation.
During daily training, the training camp used grass targets to demonstrate to them the difference in survival probability between team defense and escaping alone under a rain of arrows.
The principle that team is life is as deeply imprinted in the minds of these soldiers as the principles of fighting for dignity in elementary literacy books.
In the corner, Liu Dachun, who had seized the opportunity, jumped up, his body in mid-air, and the grenade flew out against the back of his head.
The fuse drew a beautiful arc and went straight to the observation hole of the enemy tower.
With a bang, half of the enemy tower was lifted, and thick smoke and broken wood rushed into the sky.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Wang Laoshi circled around another watchtower, swayed a few times, and ran back rolling and crawling on the ground.
Before the opponent's archers could take aim at him, a violent explosion sounded at the base of the enemy tower.
Five grenades exploded simultaneously in different directions, and the masonry watchtower tilted and fell to one side.
The frightened Pujiajun archers shouted, threw away their bows and arrows, and ran down the stairs.
Before they could reach the ground, the watch tower collapsed, covering all the people inside in the rubble.
Several throwers imitated Wang's honest approach and rushed out.
Some fell in the middle, while others attacked the enemy tower.
There were explosions one after another, and the carefully built watchtowers were crumbling.
Suddenly there was a burst of war drums in the inner city, and hundreds of defenders, driven by the generals, fought their way out of the city gate.
Before they could get into formation, a hail of arrows shot up the defenders.
After paying the price of dozens of lives, someone finally rushed to the Polu army.
Both sides fought hand-to-hand.
In less than two rounds, all the remaining soldiers had been chopped to the ground by Wang Laoshi's men.
"Playing with knives with me.
While I was going around the mountain, you were still lying in a woman's bed."
Wang Laoshi spat at the corpse in front of him.
The results of the usual training were fully reflected at the moment of hand-to-hand combat.
The Polu army achieved a complete victory in hand-to-hand combat at an extremely slight cost.
"Continue to explode and suffocate them all in the enemy tower."
Liu Dachun led his brothers to the front.
Finally finding a chance to clear their name, the supplementary soldiers roared and rushed towards their opponents like tigers out of a trap, not afraid of death.
When soldiers eat food, what they fear is not death, but the lack of any hope of victory.
When they see victory waving to them, everyone takes great courage in their hearts.
"Boom, boom, boom", the deafening grenade explosion announced the collapse of the Xinghua defense line.
From the north, west, and south, earth-shattering shouts of killing rang out from the main attack directions of each battalion.
After the brothers from the artillery battalion arrived, they accelerated the demise of the defenders.
With a single flat shot of the heavy artillery, the shells could directly send the enemy tower into the sky.
The defensive positions outside Xinghua City quickly collapsed.
This situation made it impossible for the Polu army's artillery, which had been prepared for a long time, to be used.
Just as Wu Jing in the artillery camp was stamping his feet and sighing, the rear received news from Wang Laoshi that the attack had been blocked.
Zhang Tang, the first commander, fired a red command arrow at that time and ordered the artillery battalion to move forward quickly.
After receiving the urgent call-up order, Wu Jing did not dare to neglect and personally led people to push the artillery cart.
Since the clever capture of Fuzhou, most of the expenses of the Polu army have been spent on the artillery brigade.
Nowadays, an artillery battalion of the Polu Army has developed from a few small cannons regardless of severity to three types: heavy artillery, long-range artillery and light artillery.
When in battle, you can adjust the use of firepower at any time for different tasks.
When the heavy artillery vehicles were pushed by the soldiers over the mounds of the outer city and pulled under the inner city, the suspense of the Xinghua offensive and defensive battle had lost.
In front of the heavy artillery, the enemy towers made of mud bricks and stones became living coffins for the defenders.

The Polu soldiers who were rushing in front retreated in an organized manner to make way for the open space in front of the enemy tower.
Then, with the roar of the artillery shells, the enemy tower flew into the sky like paper.
The defenders who had lost their magic weapon shrank and crawled out from behind the broken city wall, raising their hands high.
The soldiers of the Polu Army, led by their captains, jumped over the gap in the inner city wall and continued to push the battle line forward.
Half an hour later, the large Mongolian wool flag in front of the county government office was chopped down, and a blood-stained battle flag of the Polu army flew high.
At the same moment, the Polu Army, which had been silent for several months, launched a full-line attack.
Dehua, Yongchun, Anxi, and the cities outside Quanzhou were attacked at the same time.
Only Tong'an County in the south did not show up.
Polu Army clearly told Pu Brothers, that's the only door of escape on land.
If they had known that this day would come, the Pu brothers deployed a large number of soldiers and horses outside Quanzhou.
After the failure of imitating the Polu Bow, Pu Shoucheng used the sufficient financial resources of Quanzhou City to spend a lot of money to strengthen the city walls in various places, and also equipped generals at all levels with Mongolian iron armor that cost hundreds of pieces.
However, the advantages of the Polu Army are not only reflected in their equipment.
Through a series of standardized military training in Baizhangling and Shaowu, as well as the training of night schools and teaching teams, the quality of soldiers and low-level officers is completely different from that of the Pu brothers' private soldiers.
The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and what generals can do is often point out a general direction and implement specific strategic intentions, which largely depends on the quality of junior officers and soldiers.
While the centurions and captains of the left-wing army were in a mess in the face of emergencies, waiting for orders from their superiors, the soldiers of the Polu army, under the command of their respective commanders and captains, promptly made up for the shortcomings of the generals in assigning tasks.
Negligence blocked possible loopholes on the battlefield.
One side fights on its own, and the other side coordinates with each other.
Whether in siege battles or street battles after the city was broken, the Pu family's left-wing army became a fish belly that could be slaughtered by its opponents.
And their ignorance and fear of firearms exacerbated the speed of their collapse.
Often after a few grenades and a charge, the defenders completely collapsed.
When there is a hole in the opponent's defense line, the Polu army immediately penetrates into the gap in units of teams.
Use bows and arrows from a distance and grenades from a distance to deal fatal damage to your opponents.
When they collided together, they quickly dispersed into groups, forming a small circular formation of six to ten people, working together to knock their opponents to the ground.
Instead of beheading, the Polu army would only record merit based on whether they achieved their combat goals.
Enemy troops that do not take prisoners and give up resistance will naturally have a dedicated containment team to take care of them.
The close division of labor and cooperation greatly enhance the efficiency of the attack and make them invincible to those who stand in their way.
On the battlefield, the left-wing army fled in panic.
Thousands of people did not dare to turn around to face the hundreds of Polu soldiers behind them.
The chasing Polu soldiers were all red with excitement.
The situation developed smoothly, making them forget the fatigue of the charge.
Often, as soon as an enemy army is defeated, they immediately follow their respective generals to attack the enemy's next line of defense
