Chapter 165 Offense and Defense (4)
"All those who dare to turn around will be rectified!"
Lin Shanzhi issued a strict order. Although the Green Camp officers wanted to withdraw, the battle was worthy of the superiors to this extent, Lin Shanzhi had to bear it. As subordinates, they could only bite the bullet and nail it there. The most unlucky and painful thing were the Green Camp generals in various counties in Guangzhou Prefecture, who were not in love with their fathers and mothers. They were transferred from all over the world to fight Xinhui and attack the city as cannon fodder. They could not advance, retreat, or retreat. It was really a tragedy of his grandma.
The general issued a strict order, and the officers had no choice but to do so. Military law was greater than the sky. If the deserters were allowed to go back, the general would certainly kill their heads, but the flag soldiers would even have to peel them off! Therefore, for those soldiers who dared to turn around and run, they could only go forward without saying a word and chop them up.
The heads of dozens of deserters shook the Green Camp soldiers who wanted to escape. They cursed the Taiping Army on the city with a sad face, and at the same time cursed the officers viciously, and then rushed to the city again, climbing up with the stones, wood, gold juice, and hands and feet that fell from time to time on the city.
The corpses under the city were already very tired. The soldiers who had previously climbed the city and put the ladder on the ground, which was directly on people. Some ladders had more people climbed on them, and the weight of the ladder was even pierced with the corpse below. At first glance, it seemed that the ladder was growing on people, which was so scary!
The smell of blood and the smell of feces spread over the entire city wall, making people feel nauseous.
...........
While the strict order was not allowed to retreat, Lin Shanzhi mobilized his own soldiers and ordered them to gather a place to suppress the Taiping Army above with dense arrow branches, and then mobilized the dead soldiers to climb from here, intending to reach the top in one fell swoop.
Suddenly, the dense pressure on the arrow branches immediately made the Taiping Army on the city wall stagnant, with more than ten people killed and injured. The young and strong men behind saw so many Taiping Army in front of them trembled and their teeth trembled. A young man named Fan Si was so scared that he drowned. He sat on the ground and let the yellow and white objects emerge from his crotch.
More than a dozen people were killed or injured. The Taiping Army on both sides could not come over with the Qing army's arrow branches, and for a moment, there was really a gap on the city wall.
After the green camp under the city found that no stones fell from above, he hurriedly carried the ladder and put them on again. The dozens of dead men selected were wearing two or three layers of armor, and crawled up with long swords in their mouths.
Zhou Shixiang, who was standing at the highest point of the city gate building to observe the entire battle situation, discovered the crisis, drew his sword and rushed downstairs, and a group of personal guards followed closely.
On the way of running, Zhou Shixiang picked up a waste iron pot and put it on his head. The iron pot was not used to make gold juice, but was originally used by Qing army in Shangshangcheng to cook. This was used to put it on his head to act as a shield. Several arrows fell on the iron pot and were bounced open.
The guards behind saw that the Qianhu had put on the iron pot and followed suit, but there were not so many prepared iron pots in the city for a while, so they could only find some wooden boards to support them. Fortunately, although they were wooden boards, they also reduced the risk of being shot by themselves. The guards ran all the way, and many of the wooden boards on their heads became hedgehogs.
There was a team of musketeers in the Guards camp there. Seeing the Qianhu Lord risking his life to fight, the general flag of the team leader quickly took the people to run there.
.........
Zhenlu Camp was the only battalion head of the Taiping Army that was equipped with cotton armor, and the officers were even wearing iron armor. Among them, the most veterans had passed several battles and the strongest combat power, so they were arranged by Zhou Shixiang to guard the East Gate.
After discovering that the Qianhu Lord brought people to the scene, the officers of the Zhenlu camp also discovered something wrong in this place, and immediately some officers led the people to come over risking their lives.
"Fight to the city, hurry!"
Seeing a gun soldiers coming, Zhou Shixiang ran and gestured at them, asking them to take the muskets to the city immediately. When the general flag of the guard camp heard the order, he rushed to the chassis and pointed the gun down, and then fired without looking at it.
With the first gun, dozens of gun sounds were soon heard. Although the gun was not aimed at all, dozens of guns were fired at the city at the same time. It was enough to make the Qing army under the city at a loss.
It is very difficult to shoot arrows on the top of the city under the city. I can't see clearly, so I can only shoot randomly. But I can just shoot the arrow branches up, and there is no point in aiming. I don't know where there is someone, so this force cannot be grasped. Most of the arrow branches are either absorbed by the Taiping Army's arrow blocks, or they go directly over the city and fall behind the city. They did not cause much casualties to the Taiping Army, but they shot dozens of young and young men who were busy under the city. When the Taiping Army's gun sounded, more than a dozen archers were immediately hit and screamed.
After discovering the guns in the city, the Qing army was shocked, but soon found that there were not many gunmen. After a round of shooting, they stopped. They immediately knew that the gunmen above were loading medicine. It took time to load medicine. The Qing army hurriedly seized the time of changing medicine and climbed up desperately. After the Guards and Gunmen on the city were busy loading the medicine, four green camp soldiers on the cloud ladders had climbed to the mercene.
Most of the gunners were novices, and many of them had even shot guns once or twice. Now, they suddenly saw the Qing army climbing up, and not far from them, someone was so scared that they were no longer looking at them, and the guns in their hands were also blindly fired. The sound of the guns was not hitting the camp soldiers who had climbed up!
When Shang Zhixin Qianli Mirror saw this scene in the distance, he was immediately delighted. As long as the camp soldiers can gain a foothold in the city, the city will probably be able to be broken!
The green camp soldiers who climbed the city also thought so. After all, the guards of the city were not the Manzhou soldiers or the old bandits, but the miscellaneous soldiers of the Ming army. They dared to stand by relying on the protection of the strong city. But if they climbed into the city, they would be frightened and made several gaps. How could the Taiping Army dare to hold on!
When Shang Zhixin was about to order the flag soldiers to go up, he found that the camp soldiers who were climbing up the city suddenly jumped off the city!
.....
After the battalion soldiers climbed up the squad, Zhou Shixiang rushed over with an iron pot. He could not allow him to hesitate at all. He swung his knife and rushed forward, slashed by a knife. A battalion soldier who had just put his feet on subconsciously dodged back, but the center of gravity was unstable and he accidentally flipped down from the city.
"kill!"
Zhou Shi blind date guards who rushed up threw away the wooden boards and roared at the camp soldiers in the city.
The soldiers of Zhenlu camp who rushed over from both sides also rushed up. Regardless of the arrows falling above their heads, they held the big fork rod in their hands to push the ladders on the wall. The soldiers in the air were so scared that they were no longer looking at them, fearing that they would fall down and get injured. Fortunately, the soldiers on the escalator below struggled to push the ladder to the city wall, and the ladder seemed to bounce back. But before the soldiers on the ladder calmed down, the Taiping Army's fork rod extended out again and continued to push him forward.
The same scene was staged everywhere on the city wall - the ladder that suddenly fell backwards, and the screams of the battalion soldiers flying with the ladder. The green battalion soldiers under the ladder spent a lot of effort to hold the ladder tightly. The battalion soldiers on the ladder immediately showed their ferocious faces. They started climbing up step by step with the escalator and the long sword in the other hand. The battalion soldiers who were following the climbing below bit the knife in their mouths, held the ladder with both hands, and climbed up without stopping with the people above their heads.
"Go! Go! Go!"
Fighting above the city, the Green Camp officers under the city were afraid of losing the opportunity, and kept calling for the soldiers to climb up the ladder quickly. After the ladder was full of people, the Taiping Army's fork rod could no longer push them out because the ladder was too heavy.
The face of the Taiping Army on the top of the city was clearly visible, and the top battalion began to swing its swords to chop the Taiping Army. However, as soon as the hand was raised, a fork rod was extended from the marquee on the other side. This time, instead of pushing the ladder, it swept directly towards them. The top of the fork rod was an extremely sharp horizontal blade, which could not only cut off the ladder in the waist, but also cut people's arms.
With a scream of "Ah!", the entire left arm of a battalion soldier was cut off by the Taiping Army fork rod, and the person fell down like a kite with broken strings. The people below were caught off guard and were also taken down, one by one, six or seven battalions fell down together, hitting the battalion soldiers on the escalator, causing a sensation of chaos.
