277 The ever-changing offensive and defensive battle!(1/2)
The 50,000 infantry of the Wu army carried an extremely heavy 500 meter-wide inclined wooden rack, and ran and charged to the top of Danyang County from five miles away.
They launched a charge, and each wooden frame was spaced several feet apart from each other to avoid being hit by muskets and artillery.
And behind them was a light cavalry of ten thousand people.
They are the governors!
The infantry and soldiers who dared to retreat and escaped will be killed without mercy.
They are also stormtroopers.
Once these five hundred wooden frames are placed under the city and a charge slope of 500 meters wide is built, they will immediately charge towards the city.
Behind them was an army of up to 140,000, slowly advancing forward.
"Ten bronze cannons, aim at Sanli!"
"fire--!"
Chu Tianxiu held a telescope in his hand, looked at Wu Jun with a cold look, and said in a deep voice.
The bronze cannon fires very slowly, and it is estimated that there is only one chance to fire the gun, and the Wu army will rush to the foot of the city.
The Danyang soldiers immediately adjusted the shooting angle of the bronze cannon and ignited the fuse.
"Boom~——!"
The head of Danyang City seemed to tremble a few times.
Ten bronze cannons fired at the same time, and huge projectiles flew towards the Wu army formation three miles away.
The whistling iron projectile hit the Wu army's formation, rolling and splashing a piece of sand and gravel. In an instant, there was a scream and hundreds of Wu soldiers fell down.
However, the iron projectile did not hit the slope wooden frame.
Although many soldiers fell down, the wooden frame was still intact. The fallen soldiers were soon replaced by others.
The Wu army's 50,000 battalion was a little confused, and soon calmed down and continued to charge.
When Chu Tianxiu saw this effect, she couldn't help but frown.
It seems that bronze cannons are still not suitable for hitting people, and their effectiveness is extremely low. They are used to hit giant objects, warships, ladders, trenchers, etc., and destroy city gates.
After a while, Wu Jun rushed to a mile.
"All one hundred small cannons are ready! Aim at a distance!"
Chu Tianxiu shouted again.
He didn't keep it, and all hundreds of small cannons were pulled up.
boom!
boom!
Hundreds of iron projectiles roared and flew towards the Wu army camp.
The hit rate of the small steel cannon is obviously much higher. More than 20 or 30 pairs of slope wooden frames were hit, and they were instantly smashed and disintegrated.
The remaining iron projectiles splattered on the ground, killing the surrounding soldiers.
The Wu army infantry suffered more than one or two thousand casualties, causing a bigger riot.
But.
For the 50,000 Wu army and 500 pairs of slope wooden frames, this "slight" loss is obviously completely bearable.
The 50,000 Wu troops were one mile away, and stopped for a while and accelerated toward the head of Danyang City again.
The entire Danyang city felt a suffocating murderous aura.
"Six thousand gunpowder gunmen, aim!!"
Chu Tianxiu shouted.
Six thousand Danyang soldiers were holding gunpowder guns in their hands, aiming at the city at the top of the city, and rushed to the Wu army within a hundred steps.
In order to ensure that there were no gaps between the five hundred slope wooden frames, the Wu army was quickly closing and gathering in the middle.
"Open fire!"
Bang!
Bang!
Six thousand small iron bullets instantly rushed towards the 50,000 Wu army infantry who were rushing towards them in a dense manner.
There is no need to aim at it, all the people hit are people.
One moment.
The Wu army screamed repeatedly, and many soldiers fell down.
A hundred steps away from Danyang City, nearly three thousand soldiers fell down and died very close to the city.
"Running—!"
"First rush to the city wall and reward one thousand taels of silver!"
The general of the Wu army roared angrily.
At the last hundred steps, the Wu soldiers went crazy. They used their hard work, gritted their teeth, and rushed to the corner of the wall with wooden frames on the slope.
However, when they approached, they realized that something was wrong.
At the foot of Danyang City, two feet away, there was a row of more than ten miles of wooden horses, surrounding the entire Danyang City.
These horse-repellent horses are also simple to make, one thick and long wood, and some forks.
These horses were only about 1.67 meters tall, about the same height as soldiers. They were all wrapped in iron wire and iron nails were tightly connected together.
Soldiers are prone to getting through, but any slightly larger siege equipment will definitely be blocked by the refusal.
Five hundred slope wooden frames were blocked by the horse and could not pass by the foot of the city.
If the slope wooden frame is placed directly outside the Mama, then it is still two feet away from the other end of the city wall.
Two feet away is only seven meters, and the horse cannot jump over!
Of course, people can't skip it.
This is a gap.
It's just a little bit worse, but it brings them huge trouble.
All the horses outside the city were wrapped in iron wire, and the iron nails were nailed to death, so they would definitely not be able to move them away.
During this period, the 50,000 elite soldiers of the court were not idle in Danyang City, and they were trying every means to strengthen Danyang County. It was too late to raise the city walls, so they were still in time to build a large number of horse-resisting horses.
Before, because the distance was too far, Wu Jun did not see clearly the situation at the foot of the city.
The general of Wu army did not expect that there was such a long row of horses at the foot of the city. He almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood and roared at the soldiers around him, "What are you still standing there? Slash quickly! Cut the horses off!"
Many Wu soldiers immediately waved their swords and rushed forward, slashing towards the horse.
However, the horse-rejected horses are made of very thick logs and are wrapped in iron wire. Even if you use an axe, it is not so easy to break them?!
"Prepare!"
Chu Tianxiu waved his hand.
Six thousand Danyang musketeers were loading ammunition. After they quickly filled it, they opened fire again. The rate of fire of the gunpowder gun was about two rounds per minute.
The Wu army was only a few dozen steps away from the city, which of course means hitting wherever it is, so there is no need to worry about not being able to hit people.
Bang~bang~bang~bang~!
A piece of gunpowder dissipated, and thousands of soldiers from the Wu army fell down.
In just a short while, as many as 10,000 Wu troops had been killed, which was a tragic situation.
In normal battles, they would have turned around and ran away long ago.
However, they dared not run away. Behind them were ten thousand light cavalrymen, carrying swords to chop people's heads. Behind these ten thousand light cavalrymen was the main army of the Wu army, which was under the 150,000.
Whoever runs and dies!
Only by conquering Danyang City can you have a way out.
Finally, the Wu soldiers pried open a gap and broke a piece of the horse. They immediately carried the broken horse, moved them to both sides, and cleared out a 500-meter-long gap.
"Slope wooden frame, put it on me! Block it by the city wall!"
The general of the Wu army roared angrily.
The remaining nearly 40,000 soldiers of the Wu army worked hard to carry the heavy slope wooden frame and finally placed it under Danyang City.
A slope of 500 meters wide was built.
And under the slope.
Ten thousand light cavalry had already arranged the square formation, and three hundred cavalry and three hundred cavalrymen were lined up. They drew their swords and prepared to jump to the top of the city.
"Take a hundred oil barrels right away and prepare to pour oil and burn their wooden ladder!"
