The Han Chinese from Shanxi are also scoundrels.
Then the new Ming Dynasty must be a bunch of bastards.
A line of old Liao-Han soldiers,
Following Dong Cai, they were stationed at the city wall.
They prepared for another fierce battle with the Ming army.
They are all pitiful people.
They rebelled because they were driven to the brink of starvation by the Liao Dynasty.
They never surrendered despite repeated defeats.
His surrender to the Liao Dynasty was merely a ruse.
They hated the Liao Dynasty court to the core.
Later, he came to hate the Song Dynasty court.
From beginning to end,
They were all just trying to survive!
"Boom boom boom!"
Sixty wooden cannons,
On a high platform dozens of meters away
They launched stone projectiles at the city walls one after another.
No shotgun shells were used.
Instead, they were small stone projectiles, each slightly smaller than a fist.
Many door panels used for arrow protection were knocked down.
Some door panels were even smashed.
Splinters of wood splashed onto the soldiers behind them.
"Ah, my eyes!"
"Father, Father... your neck is bleeding!"
“…”
on the city wall,
Screams of agony erupted from Dong Cai's soldiers.
Zhang Guangdao wanted to conceal his true strength.
After more than three hundred wooden cannons were built
It has never been used in battle.
The enemy was completely unprepared!
Dong Cai's cheek was also splattered with sawdust.
A long, narrow gash appeared.
He yelled hoarsely, "Hide behind the parapet!"
"Don't move!"
"Boom boom boom!"
The other sixty wooden cannons
Launched immediately afterward.
This time, however, it was loaded with small pebble shot.
Chapter 2003 Died on the Spot
Some panicked and running soldiers
I was shot without even realizing it.
Some died on the spot.
But many others only suffered broken bones and other injuries.
The wooden cannon's shotgun shells were still too weak.
After two rounds of firing,
The wooden cannons were being loaded with ammunition rapidly.
Dong Cai actually took advantage of this opportunity...
He calmed down his soldiers.
Although still panicked
But soon no one was running around anymore.
They all carefully hid behind the parapet.
They awaited the upcoming battle to defend the city.
These guys,
Like Guo Yaoshi's former subordinates,
They were all veterans who had survived countless battles and narrowly escaped death.
Yao Pingzhong stood on the high platform,
It can be seen clearly through a telescope.
Completely unable to understand this, he muttered:
"We're all Han Chinese, why are you risking your lives for the Jin Dynasty like this?"
"There is no future in surrendering to the Ming Dynasty."
Two more rounds of shelling followed.
It has almost no effect.
Stone projectiles fired from a wooden cannon
Even if you hit the parapet,
It would also be difficult to breach the thin parapet.
The defenders hid behind the parapet.
As long as you don't stand up,
They are completely unafraid of artillery shells.
One siege weapon after another was rolled out.
Sweeping ladders, siege towers, battering rams, parapets...
They advanced slowly from behind the earthen platform.
The soldiers used the wooden cannons as cover.
Dismantle the defensive line of vehicles that you have set up.
They walked towards the city wall at a leisurely pace.
The defending troops were pinned down by the wooden cannons and could hardly raise their heads.
It is impossible to launch rockets to attack these machines.
Once the wooden cannon stops firing,
The nest car is gradually approaching.
Nest car, as the name suggests,
A small wooden house that looks like a bird's nest.
It was hung on a wooden pole taller than the city wall.
The archers were hiding in the wooden hut.
To suppress the defenders on the city walls at close range.
Fearing accidental friendly fire,
The wooden cannon dared not fire.
Now we rely on the nest cart to shoot arrows.
"Give the order: Launch the rockets!"
At Dong Cai's command,
The archers guarding the city began searching for braziers.
Most of the braziers were overturned by artillery shells.
Or they might be knocked over by falling planks.
Only a few were dragged behind the parapet.
A few rockets were launched sporadically.
However, they were unable to ignite the car.
Because it's still covered by a layer of skin.
However, the number of rockets is too small.
"Raise the ladder!"
The siege ladder is also like a war chariot.
Below are carriages and wheels.
The soldiers hid in the carriages.
There are still barriers ahead.
He was being pushed along by the auxiliary soldiers.
All soldiers, including auxiliary soldiers, were protected against arrows.
Before even touching the city wall,
The auxiliary soldiers began to turn the winch.
The folded-up long ladder
As the winch rotates
They slowly made their way towards the city wall.
The iron hook gripped the top of the wall tightly.
This type of ladder has a very gentle slope.
Not afraid of boiling oil and juicy sauce
There are also upright logs on both sides.
To prevent the logs from rolling down.
Once such siege ladders are secured to the city walls...
There is a great chance of attacking.
It all depends on whether those who get there first can establish a firm foothold.
Under normal circumstances,
Often the ladder is still halfway there.
