The lethality of the bow and arrow is actually not great, as the so-called, ten arrows are not as good as a knife, ten knives are not as good as a gun, on the battlefield, in the historical records, a fierce general is wearing dozens of arrows, and still shouting for the battle abounds, that is definitely not showing off the exaggerated effect of the fact.
Seeing that the dust in the distance was getting thicker and thicker, and the sound of hooves was getting louder and louder, Huang Bingcan was in a hurry, if the suspension bridge was not hoisted, then the first line of defense in Zunhua would be completely invalid, and if the 300 enemies blocking the gate were not quickly isolated and annihilated, the loss of the city was a foregone conclusion.
At this time, one of the pro-soldiers suddenly shouted: "With rockets, livestock are afraid of fire." ” This cry immediately reminded all the archers in the city that rockets were indispensable in the defense of the city, so everyone replaced the rockets, lit the arrows, and shot at the camels blocking the drawbridge.
The effect of the rocket was immediate, those originally docile camels were ignited with fur on their bodies, and immediately exploded, breaking free and holding their masters, regardless of whether they were friends or foes in front of them, let go of their huge limbs, and rushed forward with a bang, and the huge body, the crazy forward momentum, immediately knocked everyone in front of him into the air and trampled on it.
The enemy did not expect such an outcome, and before they could understand it, they were crushed by the burning camels, and in the blink of an eye the drawbridge was empty, and the soldiers who shook the drawbridge took the opportunity to exert their strength and began to squeak and slowly rise.
And at this time, the battle in the city gate cave was extremely fierce.
This time, the enemy Niu Lu who led the team was already blood-red, and he had to seize the city gate as quickly as possible to open the passage for the follow-up army, so as to capture Zunhua City in one fell swoop.
At this time, the general of the Ming army was also ruthless, while wielding a knife to entangle the leader of the enemy, while shouting: "Close the gate quickly, quickly" The gate could not be closed, the gate had been held up by more than a dozen huge camels, and there were nearly 200 elite Qing soldiers, and the brothers who were responsible for closing the city gate also died tragically under the enemy's knife in the first place.
By this general shouted, several Ming troops who were still fighting in the distance immediately reacted, and at this time they also desperately stepped forward, shouted, and fought hard with the enemy who poured in, after all, everyone knows that once Zunhua is broken by the enemy, it will be the result of the chicken and dog not leaving jade and stones.
And at this time, the leading Niu Lu also knew that behind him was his own army of thousands of horses, if he failed to win the door, it would be equivalent to abandoning his previous achievements, and if he wanted to take Zunhua in the future, he would have to fill it with the lives of his brothers, and now the Qing Dynasty could not afford to lose human lives, so he faced the reinforcements of the Ming army that were getting closer and closer in the distance, and yelled at the brothers around him: "For the sake of the Qing Dynasty, brothers, kill." ” This general was only with ten soldiers to guard the city gate, but the incident happened suddenly, and in a blink of an eye, four or five were cut down by a sneak attack, if it weren't for the narrow city gate and the blocking of camels, they would have been drowned in the enemy's sea of people, but it was precisely because of this general with the remaining few people that he resisted the enemy's advance to the death, and bought time for his reinforcements, just when he blocked a few short knives with his body, spitting blood in his mouth, staring at his dry eyes, and resisting these short knives, his troops finally arrived, For a time, the sound of shouting and killing near the left side of the city gate cave was earth-shattering, and the sound of swords and guns colliding was deafening.
The guerrilla general, who arrived with reinforcements, calmly observed the situation on the battlefield and immediately commanded his men: "Pikemen, go up." ” Immediately a team of captains of spearmen came out of the crowd, erected a forest of spears in the hole of the city gate, blocked the city gate to death, and ruthlessly assassinated the enemy inside.
And at this time, he couldn't retreat step by step, because behind him were his brothers who were huddled together, so he didn't even have the possibility of turning around.
And at this time, the dense guns will continue to push his teammates back, seeing that they have retreated to half of the city gate, as long as three or five steps back, the Ming army will touch the city gate, if the city gate is closed, he himself will give up all his efforts, so, he was in a hurry, stabbed to death a camel beside him, the camel fell down, the huge body just blocked the passage of the city gate, so that the Ming army's spearmen were difficult to advance, with this example, the brothers around him immediately did the same, killed a few camels, everyone worked together, Throwing the dead camels in front formed a meat shield that gave them a moment of respite.
Wiping a handful of blood on his face, when he looked back through the dense human heads, the dust in the distance had been covered for a long time, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, earth-shattering, his own brigade came up, at this moment, he saw that in this dusty sky, there were already his brothers who were about to rush to the huge suspension bridge, he could clearly see the excited faces of his comrades, as long as he held on for a quarter of an hour, Zunhua City was his own.
However, at this time, he was desperate to see that countless rockets flew towards the camel team occupying the drawbridge from the city wall, and the camels that were ignited in an instant ran madly in both directions, and the camels that ran back suddenly collided with the comrades who rushed up, and at this moment, the huge drawbridge began to slowly rise.
"No, don't let the drawbridge up, brothers hold the drawbridge down with me."
With his roar, the remaining hundred brothers immediately turned around and pounced on the swaying drawbridge, there were still countless arrows falling on the city wall, harvesting the lives of these hundred brothers, when a warrior with a dozen feathered arrows stuck in his back, when he reached the top of the drawbridge, his hand had already grabbed the hand of the knight who rushed to the bottom of the drawbridge, and at this moment, a javelin pierced his majestic body, killing him to the top of the drawbridge, and then he stretched out his hand like that, I watched myself slowly raise as the drawbridge slowly raised, getting closer and closer to my team.
At this time, the guerrilla general who seized the city gate pulled out his waist knife, personally climbed over the obstacles of those death camels, and pounced into the group of enemies blocking the city gate.
With the example of the desperate general, those officers and soldiers who were still hesitating shouted together, desperately crossed the obstacles, threw themselves into the crowd of people, one after another, died one after another, and finally completely annihilated the enemy who wanted to occupy the city gate at the cost of tragic casualties, and then everyone cleaned up the corpses of the enemy and their own side as quickly as possible, countless pairs of arms, moved the huge city gate, Zunhua city gate, and closed it slowly but firmly.
Du Du definitely didn't expect that a Zunhua who had not been fighting for a long time and had been deep inside, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty here seemed to be reborn, and their extremely strong combat effectiveness broke out, and as a result, their plan to raid Zunhua fell short.
Stopped in front of the moat, looked up at the tall city, there was a general in a fiery red cloak, also holding the battlements with both hands, looking down at himself in a victorious attitude, the two looked at each other, a long time later, in the mocking eyes of the Ming general, Du Du reluctantly retracted his frustrated gaze, helplessly but firmly gave an order to the countless soldiers behind him: "Retreat to Erli Road, we cut down trees to build ladders, and prepare to attack the city." ” t1706231537:
