How to attack the city in the late Qing Dynasty? Or why did the city surround the city wall?

There is no giant cannon that can break the city. It is extremely cruel to break the city in the era of cold weapons, and it is piled up with flesh and blood.

For the siege, all you have to fight is "a line above the head" - the front line defenders on the city wall, and they have no attack power when climbing ladders or marching; while for the siege, they can fight "a large area under the feet", such as firearms, bows, arrows, boiling water, boiling oil, and stones, which can be used to kill and kill the attackers fiercely.

Of course, the Qing soldiers stationed in Shaozhou would not be elite troops, but they had the advantage of defending the city and had to fight. No matter how cowardly the Qing soldiers were or how corrupt the military discipline was, they were still men. When they saw the enemy, they raised their swords and shouted, and sheep could often turn into tigers for a while.

The novels all say: Killing the other party makes the other party terrified. The other party is indeed not brave, but it also needs to fight, fight one by one, kill one by one, and kill one by one, without blood and one by one, how can the other party be depressed?

Therefore, siege requires more morale than defending the city.

Siege is not a field battle, the opponent will not run away at once, and huge casualties are the price that the siege must pay.

Zhao Kuo stared at the battle situation in a safe place in the distance, but just curled his lips viciously. He was not worried about his morale at all. Unexpectedly, the morale of the guard.

On the first day, the enemy's morale was higher than expected, and the siege battle became extremely cruel.

Riding the enemy's artillery, lifting guns, bird guns, and bows and arrows, the Taiping Army swarmed under the city wall.

Ladders were handed over to the city, and countless brave Taiping soldiers stepped on the ladder to attack Qing Yao.

The warrior on the ladder kept ruthlessly robbing his life by the counterattack at the top of the city and fell from the ladder, but behind him was the dead soldiers whose eyes were wide open and bleeding followed. In the roar of "Kill the Qing Demon!", he thrust his steel knife to climb towards those "braids".

"Kill the Qing Demon!" On a cloud ladder on the roof of a house, he kept roaring wildly and climbed up with the brothers in front of him. Zhao Ying, who participated in the battle for the first time, was not timid at all. He held a bamboo spear tightly in his tiny hand, staring at the enemies with flying braids on it with hatred.

Because siege tools are made temporarily, many ladders are not long enough. For example, the one Zhao Ying is following now can only be built on the roof of the houses under the city to get the wall.

"There is no free lunch in the world." Zhao Kuo coldly said this famous saying that the owner of the patent was not born yet, and organized the scouts he carefully selected and taught carefully into the army without any reluctance. Good things were not used for appreciation, but for themselves. These boys born in troubled times put them in a greenhouse to teach? How could the gangster godfathers in their previous lives be so kind?

"Go to kill me!" Zhao Kuo sneered. He is not a charity in the nursery school. In terms of thinking mode, he, a gangster scum in his previous life, is exactly the same as those beggars who control children in the future and the heads of the thieving group.

The facts prove that Zhao Kuo's decision is extremely correct. These boys who should be protected by all sectors of society in the future - minors - eagerly go through fire and water for Zhao Kuo, even if what they think of as a "loving father" will make them disabled or die.

This is the Confucian civilization after being castrated by the Qing Dynasty!

This is true for Zhao Ying. He is the little beggar that Zhao Kuo picked up in Yizhang County. His surname and name were given to him by the great general. The general not only let him eat enough, but also gave him fatherly care. "He is my father!" This is what Zhao Ying told his brothers, and this is his true thought.

"For the general to kill Qing Yao!" Xiao Zhaoying stood tall and followed the tall adult comrade above, feeling unwilling to climb to the top of the city, and then he could jump into the top of the city to kill the enemy in blood for the general like his father.

But with a scream above the head, an arrow was shot into the mouth of the poor Taiping soldier and smashed it down from the ladder like a green onion.

"Ah!" In the screams, Zhao Ying, who was short and thin, was hit by his extremely strong body, and he had no strength to fight against this weight. He wanted to protect his brother. His hand holding the spear hugged the poor man's body and endured the gravity of his falling. The hand holding the ladder was pulled off the bamboo ladder and fell down together.

The Taiping Army soldier who followed Zhao Ying was a powerful adult with Kong Wu. When he saw the two of them hitting him in a hurry, he instinctively stretched out his arms and blocked them desperately. He immediately took out the ladder and fell into the air.

"Ah..." Zhao Ying was knocked to the roof from two meters high and fell to the roof. It took him a long time to breathe, and turned over and sat on the bricks and tiles full of cracks. There were already a few corpses around him, including the brother who had an arrow in his mouth, and his body was still warm.

"Fuck you, Qing Yao!" Zhao Ying roared wildly. He struggled to get up and wanted to attack the city again, but the ladder was already full of people. The brother at the top was fighting with Qing Yao on the top of the wall. He looked around and crawled over the roof, picking up a bird gun next to the corpse of a brother.

The brother took out a gunpowder bag from the body, and looked at the brothers who fought bloody battles on the front of the city, cursing. The Qing Dynasty arrows, iron sand and stones hit him crazily, but the child ignored the attack that could take his life or make him disabled at any time. He used the skills he had just learned, pressed the gunpowder and iron sand in an orderly manner in the barrel, aimed at the top of the city with gritted teeth, and lit the fuse viciously.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, smoke rose everywhere, and the recoil of the bird gun almost pushed the child kneeling on the roof to the ground, but he looked at the Qing soldier who was aiming at the hand he was aiming for just now, and his body shook off from the top of the city.

He hit it!

"Fuck you, Qing Yao!" The proud drive often shouted angry at the soldiers fighting to the death, such as Zhao Ying. He touched his left chest with his right hand, and there were only three vertical strips of different lengths painted ink. When he touched these three vertical strips, Zhao Ying, who was full of hatred, suddenly had a holy respect.

He murmured, "God, general, and brothers!" Then he gritted his teeth and pressed the Qing soldiers' fast arrows, filling in ammunition, and launching guns to cover the siege brothers.

These three vertical marks were painted by Zhao Kuo for the forty boys of them by himself.

In fact, it was because there were too many people, and he still couldn't remember the names of many people. In addition, he had to join the army to work hard for him. Zhao Kuo was afraid of not being able to recognize him and could not usually see him in the army to give him favor. His shameless thing plagiarized the trademark of the famous sports company Adidas, because it was simple. He drew three vertical paths on the military uniform on each child's chest.

He fooled the children like this: "You are the elites I have chosen, the warriors chosen by God. Because you can only move light spears now, I now mark you as a light spear group, and you are the same as my guards! The three vertical marks are not only the symbol of the spear, but also represent: God, military orders and brothers! The longest one represents God, you are all blessed by God! The middle one represents military orders, military orders are like a mountain, and you will complete various commands for me! And the most

The meaning of the latter path is ‘brothers’. You will all be warriors who fight hard to create a small paradise. The comrades around you can save your lives, and you will also save their lives. You are for everyone, everyone for you! You are not brothers, but more close than brothers! These three paths are the symbols of the Light Thunder Group! Dear little... little, ahem... Sir, from now on, you must remember that you are now a soldier and brother in the kingdom of heaven. Your faith is God, military orders and brothers!"

In fact, Zhao Kuo originally wanted to say that it was himself, but now he has no capital to betray the revolution, so he certainly would not say that he was the king of heaven. He just said that it was a military order for Hong Xiuquan's idiot.

But he was not disappointed. Zhao Kuo personally chose the kids and fooled him a few days later, he consciously turned the roar in the middle: "General!"
