Wooden Donkey Cart and Fish Beam Road
Chapter 66:Wooden Donkey Cart and Fish Beam Road
Around the three, Hao waved the flag in Chongyang East, West and North under the three gates of the three large towns, only empty out of the south gate, leaving a way for the Ming army to flee to the city.
This is the advantage of the superior strength, Hao waved the flag of 15,000 people, can be placed in each large village on five thousand people, from the east, west, north three directions at the same time to launch the attack, these three directions do not matter which is the main attack, which is the main attack, according to the battlefield situation at any time to change, so that the garrison cares about each other.
However, Hao waved the flag still focused on the direction of the main attack on the north gate.Chongyang, like most cities, the shape of the county is also a rectangle in the east and west, breaking through the north gate to quickly expand the troops, dividing the garrison into two halves, and it is also conducive to grabbing the granary as soon as possible, so as not to set fire to the garrison before escaping.
In a very ordinary morning, a row of wooden donkey carts suddenly appeared in the mist of the morning, and the Chongyang offensive and defensive war began without warning.
A cannon, the drums made a big work, the big Shun army from the camp village fished out, in the position of a thousand steps in front of the wall, is blocking the road to the city gate.The rattan soldiers were in the front, the long gunmen were in the center, and the archers were in the back, and the rifle was set up in front to prevent the Ming army from advancing.
Their task is to cover the siege forces and prevent the garrison from attacking the city, and the real protagonists today are those wooden donkey carts.
The wooden donkey cart, in fact, is a modified chicken bus, pushed forward by a soldier, the front with tough bamboo made of the shield, covered with thick wet mud, can withstand the arrowbirds and rocket attacks, the car is full of bag full of dirt, used to fill the moat and the outer trench.
With Hao shaking the flag, more than two hundred wooden donkey carts pushed forward together, making a squeaky noise.
“Spread, spread out more!A row of twenty donkeys, the others followed, careful with the stone guns...”
Some of the army will take command back and forth on horseback, with a troop of cavalry next to the wooden donkey cart, their task is to protect the slow action of the siege equipment, and to guide the soldiers behind the guard board to push the cart.
Five hundred steps from the city wall, three hundred steps, a hundred steps..., gradually approaching the outer trench, the city's stone cans began to shoot, followed by a series of stone bombs, followed by the wooden donkey cart into the range of the bow and arrows, only to listen to the bow and arrows, only to listen to the sound of the guard board, constantly hit by the arrows.
Stone cannon, in fact, is a stone car, this thing is not small, but the structure is complex, it is not easy to make a fumigation, basically no head, can hit the target all look at luck.The wooden donkey carts of the Dashun army are very loose, and the stone cannons in the city are non-stop, but they have never been able to hit the wooden donkey cart.
Finally, a wooden donkey cart was jumped up with a stone bomb, a large watermelon stone bomb with a huge kinetic energy, although it was pulled by a tough bamboo shield, the wooden donkey cart was jerked, revealing the soldiers behind the guard board, "poe, poach..." several feathers shot, the squirrel of the soldiers fell to the ground.
Without the "driver", the wooden donkey cart fell to the ground, fell to seven twists and eight crooks, and the wooden donkey cart that followed behind silently bypassed it and continued to approach the trench.
The first, the second, the third ..., more and more wooden donkey carts threw sacks into the trenches, the process is inevitably to show their hands and feet, the most dangerous, the feathers in the city are more dense, from time to time there are soldiers of the general army who are injured in the arrows, several wooden donkey carts fell to the ground, but most of them are safe, and pull the car slowly back.
The flag was in front of the battle, with a smile on his face.
The carefully prepared siege equipment finally showed the effect, throwing more than a thousand sacks, only six wooden donkey carts were lost, this number is completely acceptable, if the person carrying the sack rushed up, the casualties will be ten times more, twenty times more...
At this rate, a few more trips can fill most of the outer trenches and create several spacious roads to clear the obstacles for tomorrow's attack.
"Let the brothers rest again, slow down a little, try to be careful, and don't let his mother's death in vain..."
There are no dead people in the war, Hao waved the flag and did not care about the soldiers who were killed or injured, but they were in love with the damaged wooden donkey carts, and in order to win this battle, he almost searched for the chicken trumpet around the stud, and lost one less.Breaking the trench is only the first step, and behind it there are antlers, plum piles, moats... and even the walls of Chongyang, which must be washed by wooden donkey cars, and must be used.
All day, the Dashun army launched an attack on the east gate of Chongyang, the west gate and the northern gate at the same time, successfully filling most of the outer trenches, and the casualties were not large.The Ming army in the city seemed to be helpless, and there was no other action except to counterattack with stone guns and bows and arrows.
The next day, Hao shook the flag to strengthen the attack on the northern gate.
The number of donkey carts increased to three hundred, together to launch an attack, in the midst of them, there appeared a few bulky and large bridge, the car has bamboo rows made of wooden panels of flying bridges, can be mounted on the trench above the formation of a channel.
The heavy bamboo rowed flybridge fell, and on the other side of the trench, plus most of the outer trenches that had been filled, the obstacle was completely cleared.
Behind the trenches, is a dense antlers and plum piles, the role of the antlers is similar to barbed wire, plum piles are made of short rough piles, revealing the ground two feet high, used to block all kinds of siege equipment, if sent rattan to slowly cut with a knife axe in the hands of the rattan, under the impact of various weapons on the wall, it is certainly heavy casualties.
However, the general army has already responded.
The donkey cart rushed up and poured the sacks full of dirt directly on the antlers and plum blossom piles, not to clear these obstacles at all, but to spread a passage on it!
The distance from the city wall is closer, the wooden donkey carts are denser, the stone bows and arrows in the city are more violent than yesterday, and the casualties of the general army are increasing.
But this situation as early as their expectations, the general army did not panic and retreat, but calmly continued to move forward, a wooden donkey cart was destroyed, more wooden donkey carts followed up, a few lines of paved roads slowly pushed towards the moat.
The archers of the Dashun army also came to support, standing in a sparse queue near the outer trench, while shooting back to the wall, while dodging stone bullets fired from the stone canisters, a team of rattan players followed behind the wooden donkey cart, and the arrows in the "driver" were immediately replaced.
Flying stone, arrows, casualties, screams, wooden donkey carts moving around, throwing down one sack after another, constantly advancing the passage...
At night, Hao waved the flag and raised several active troops, changed the troops during the day, people rested, and the wooden donkey cart did not rest, and continued to fight at night.Until the war to three days, Hao waved the flag finally ordered to take a break, these wooden donkey carts are modified, both to transport a large number of hemp bag stone, but also equipped with heavy guard board, a day down damaged a lot, need to repair.
However, he put an elite force in front of the city wall, guarding the hard-to-pave the passage, this hard work is necessary, otherwise the Ming army will take advantage of the night out of the city to carry out destruction, you can destroy all the hard work of the Dasun army in a day.
In the night, the torch was point, and the city was scattered with the fatigue of the bitter battle, Wang Kefan had just removed his helmet, and Lu Renqing hurried over.
“Brother Yuntai, this fight is not good!”Lu Renqing looked anxious, pointing to the wooden donkey cart that was retreating in the distance: "Horse rocking the flag to make so many turtle shells, I don't see good intentions!"
“What do you mean?”Wang Kefan asked.
"Only in order to fill the outer trenches and moat, one or two hundred wooden donkeys is enough, I just counted, the three gates add up to five or six hundred, Hao flag to create so many wooden donkeys, it seems that they want to take the fish beam road!"Lu Renqing's face was solemn, reminding Wang Kefan.
Fish beam road, is to use the buns to build up a passage of the upper city, Chongyang city wall is only three feet high, Hao shake the flag first slowly clear the outer obstacles, slowly paved a passage higher than the ground, until the moat is filled, hundreds of wooden donkey carts poured up together, together to throw down the buns of earth, enough to put the fish beam road to the head of Chongyang City.
Chongyang City defense the biggest weakness, is the low wall, Hao flag can come up with this way, obviously moved a brain, but also in the middle of the camp's soft ribs.
If you lose the protection of the city wall, the camp of more than a thousand horses, more than two thousand young and strong, is not a rival of the army!
