Chapter 737 The more the merrier!(2/2)
Although you are forced to work on the front line, you don't have to be too desperate. The most important thing is to save your life.
As for siege, once you get to the fortress, you can just show off and make a few gestures to get the idea.
Even the elite officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty fought for a whole morning and failed to break the city. Do they still expect these volunteers to break the city?
At noon, the artillery on Hecheng Mountain carried out a large-scale bombardment of Daoshan Castle again according to the order.
After the shelling stopped, the North Korean volunteers rushed up the mountain road holding huge shields and long ladders, carrying bows and arrows, firecrackers, and incendiary tools.
Especially at the double-layered city gate with a protruding side opening, a fierce offensive and defensive battle was launched.
To say it was intense, maybe the shouts of these volunteers were more intense.
Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking from a distance, everything on the surface seems to be a replica of what it was in the morning.
General Ma helplessly said to Marshal Lin, who was silently supervising the battle: "These Korean volunteers are really not good at fighting, and sending them to attack the city is a waste of time.
I took them in, originally I only expected them to help transport luggage and set up camps, but I really didn't expect them to fight."
Before he could finish his words, suddenly there came from the direction of Hecheng Mountain the sound of thunderous artillery fire.
Three hundred heavy artillery pieces on Hecheng Mountain suddenly began a violent bombardment again, and the sound of the artillery was even more intensive than the previous two times.
Ma Gui was shocked and said subconsciously: "Why did you fire again?"
Our officers and soldiers are still attacking the city. At this time, there is a large-scale artillery attack. Doesn't it mean that our own troops and horses are also attacking the enemy city together?
Could it be that there was something wrong with the command and coordination that led to such a huge mistake?
Marshal Lin was expressionless and unmoved, staring in the direction of Daoshan City.
The rebel soldiers who were attacking the city heard the sound of cannons and saw the crater appearing not far away.
After being stunned and not needing orders, the three or four thousand volunteers were so frightened that they turned around and ran down the mountain. Even the supervising team ignored military discipline and turned around and ran back.
But as soon as the volunteers ran to the foot of the mountain, they saw rows of Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers in the distance, holding hundreds of three-eyed blunderbuss pointed at them.
Several generals galloped back and forth on their horses, shouting in Korean: "The Commander-in-Chief has an order! Anyone who retreats will be killed! Only by climbing into the city can you survive!"
Hundreds of volunteers who did not believe in evil continued to rush over, and two large groups of heavenly soldiers holding three-eyed blunderbuss fired them without ceremony.
The effect of the three-eyed blunderbuss is a bit like that of the shotguns of later generations. One shot will cover a large area. After more than a hundred three-eyed blunderbuss were fired, hundreds of iron rebels fell to the ground one after another.
Several generals shouted together again: "Attack the city! Attack the city! The only way to survive is to climb the city!"
As long as you make it to the city alive, you will be rewarded according to your merits by the official positions in the state, county, county, and district!"
In such an unopened geographical environment, the rebels could not escape even if they wanted to.
Under the threat of death from the Tomb Raiders, the three thousand Korean volunteers were helpless and had no other choice.
He could only turn around again, pick up the discarded giant shield and equipment, brave the fierce bombardment from friendly forces, and attack upward again.
Most of the Japanese soldiers defending the city sought bunkers with their backs to Mount Heseong to avoid the bombardment.
The Japanese soldiers on guard saw the enemy troops below charging up to attack the city again. Before they even reached the base of the wall, dozens of enemy soldiers were knocked to the ground by their own artillery shells. Their lives and deaths were unknown. At this time, the Japanese soldiers'
I feel a little confused.
What kind of kamikaze is this? If North Korean soldiers were so brave, why were they defeated eight times in a row last year?
As a result, a strange scene appeared on the battlefield. The enemy and we launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle on the wall, braving the bombardment of at least hundreds of heavy artillery pieces without distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy.
More than half an hour later, Marshal Lin, who was taking a nap in the tent behind, seemed to hear cheers.
Ma Gui, who was supervising the battle outside, came in and reported excitedly: "The rebels really broke through the first layer of the city wall! The Japanese soldiers retreated to the second layer!"
Marshal Lin stood up and said, "Quickly send reserve officers and soldiers to follow up the assault and expand the results!"
Ma Gui said quickly: "We have already sent the prepared officers and soldiers to rush up!"
Marshal Lin asked with concern: "How many volunteers are left, and are they still capable of continuing to attack the city?"
Ma Gui smiled bitterly and said: "The casualties have not yet been calculated, but it is said that the number of survivors is less than a thousand."
General Ma didn't know how to evaluate this. He had been a general for decades and had never encountered anyone using troops like this.
Extremely cold-blooded and cruel, it is equivalent to directly exchanging more than two thousand lives for a city wall, but it really works.
Marshal Lin sighed and said with regret: "These Korean volunteers are all heroes!
Afterwards, I will give them a good burial. I will personally write a memorial to commemorate them, and then carve a monument here to commemorate them.
For such heroes and heroes, we should recruit as many as possible. You have to pay attention, Lao Ma.
When I use troops, the more the better!"
