Using a small number of manpower to compete with their own side for this ruined area outside the city has no practical benefit to them. Even if they force the defenders back, the Mongols cannot set up camp here. The defenders can protrude from the city at any time and cause repeated harassment.
So, what is the purpose of the Mongols?
The defenders made a beautiful counterattack. Taking advantage of a sloping terrain, hundreds of people rushed at the same time, driving back the pursuing Mongolians. The Mongolians let out angry shouts and screams.
, retreat quickly.
The infantry who had not dared to disperse before quickly rushed out to respond.
Hundreds of people in the outermost circle rushed forward, and dozens more people suddenly dispersed under the city gate, suddenly revealing the open city gate.
This is actually not a flaw. When defending the city, opening and closing the city gates at any time is a necessary condition to ensure that one can clean the surroundings of the city in reverse. Closing the city gates and being beaten passively is seeking death. Since Linhuang Mansion has a strong city, there is no shortage of troops.
, Shi Qing has no reason to give up the initiative on the battlefield.
But at this moment, a group of men covered in withered grass suddenly jumped up from the ruins of the wall, and then sprinted towards the city gate at full speed.
"Damn, you're being treacherous!"
Shi Qing immediately guessed that the Mongols were planning to seize the city gate by hiding their elite troops. He cursed, then turned and went down to the city. The people were running on the footpath, giving orders repeatedly to mobilize their troops and follow him to stop the enemy.
.
This little trick is a bit threatening, but there is no need to take it too seriously. The terrain outside the city and the daily comings and goings of the defenders are much more familiar to them than the Mongols. If the Mongols want to hide this from the defenders, they must dispatch very few manpower.
The defenders just have to deal with it calmly. It is not difficult to push back the enemy. As long as there is no big trouble, the city gate does not need to be closed!
Thinking of this, Shi Qing had already rushed to the city.
He had a reputation as a tough guy in the Red Coat Army in his early years. Although he has become more dignified in the past two years, his martial arts skills have not declined. When he reached the level ground, he put his feet on the ground and pushed forward with all his strength. He almost turned sideways and hid under the iron
Behind the shield.
If the Mongols shoot with arrows, they will definitely not be able to hurt him. But if they get close to fight, they will immediately be hit by the iron shield with huge power and lose their balance. Shi Qing just used the force of the collision to stop and swing his arms.
knife and beheaded him.
The series of movements are all honed through life and death on the battlefield. The movements are extremely smooth, and there is no need to carefully look at the enemy in front. The instinct on the battlefield is like this. According to the sound of the wind or the reflection of the residual light, you can naturally launch subsequent killing moves.
But Shi Qing didn't see the enemy's movement in his peripheral vision, he only saw several dark balls flying overhead.
The balls seemed to be made of iron or pottery. Some of them slammed into the shields of Shi Qing's companions or hit the city gate holes, exuding black viscous liquid; some exploded in the air.
Blow up the broken pieces of iron or porcelain and send them flying in all directions.
This is an iron artillery, a gunpowder weapon! Damn it, the Mongols also learned to use gunpowder?
During the previous fighting in the Central Plains, the Ding navy attacked cities and plundered territory, often using gunpowder weapons as their trump card. Although the Jurchens were poor at using their troops, fire attacks and other attacks were not uncommon. As for the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties, it is said that they had more weird gunpowder weapons.
But this was the first time that the Mongols had used this move. Not to mention that Shi Qing had not expected it. Zhou Dynasty had not made any plan to face the threat of gunpowder weapons when it launched the entire line of defense against Mongolia.
Everyone is convinced that we have firearms but Mongolia does not. The Mongols’ ridiculously crude governance system cannot maintain the many links required to make gunpowder weapons!
Now Shi Qing suddenly understood that everyone was wrong. The Mongols were able to accomplish something if they were ruthless!
He suddenly felt out of breath.
The huge shock prevented him from running, and he fell to the ground. His ears were ringing, and when he looked up, he saw large plumes of smoke and rising flames covering both the inside and outside of the city gate.
Although most of the soldiers who followed him out of the city to fight were protected by shields, under the explosion, most of them were affected by the power and fell on their backs. Someone's broken leg was blown to the rammed earth of the city wall, and the black and red blood flowed from where it should have been.
The wound on the knee flowed outward, staining the yellow-brown soil red.
A very cruel scene appeared in front of Shi Qing's eyes. He opened his mouth and wanted to shout to close the city gate immediately, but what came out of his throat was not words, but mouthfuls of blood.
The next moment, he saw a companion rolling on the ground, trying to put out the stuck flames; and he saw someone rushing up to him, grabbing his arm and pulling him back. Maybe he was pulling too hard, and Shi Qing felt dizzy.
Dizziness, vision blurred, and then he lost consciousness.
This is really not a reverse cheat... read on and on...
