On the one hand, they wanted to seize the city and rob property, while on the other hand, they wanted to defend the city to protect their relatives and friends. Both sides were fighting back and forth on the top of the city. The battle had entered a fever pitch. As a special soldier, the Huotou Army saw many of their companions falling in pain under the enemy's saber, and felt furious in their hearts.
, all requested to go to the rescue.
Wan Lei didn't want to send the Huotou Army to save him, but he couldn't. Because he knew that the hundred-man team in his hand was a surprise force, and the purpose was to win by surprise, not to compete with the enemy. Moreover, kerosene was already scarce and could not be consumed.
rise.
At this time, more than a dozen siege teams carrying ladders came to the city. They planned to take advantage of the chaos to attack the city. This was something Wan Lei couldn't sit back and watch. Therefore, he had to wait until these siege teams arrived.
At the top of the city, a surprise force was sent to repel them. Once the Yun Echelon was defeated, the enemy troops at the top of the city would definitely lose their fighting spirit when they saw that the reinforcements were defeated. If they then counterattack, they would definitely be able to defeat them in one battle.
Soon, the siege ladder was set up on the top of the city. Wan Lei gave an order, and ten fire-headed troops scattered outside the city wall immediately dispatched, raised their newly made flamethrowers, and rushed to the ladder to stand by. When the defenders saw it,
, knowing that this was the follow-up plan arranged by Mr. Wan early in the morning, so they felt at ease to fight hand-to-hand with the enemy in front of them, without having to be distracted to save them.
As soon as the Huotou Army arrived, the enemy climbed up the ladder. When the leader's head reached the top of the city, he saw a "rain of oil" pouring down on him. He didn't have time to figure out what was going on.
Suddenly, he saw a torch hitting his head, and he hurriedly swung his knife to fend it off.
However, it was too late at this time. The "rain of oil" on his head ignited when it met the fire. He heard a roar, and his whole person turned into a burning man, screaming and falling towards the city. And the people below him
It didn't end well either, because the "oil rain" continued to rain down, and many people were doused and set on fire, falling like dominoes.
The same thing happened in other places. Soon, more than a dozen ladders turned into fire ladders, and the Huotou Army carried forward the spirit of beating the drowned dog. They fired bows and arrows at the "Burning Man" under the city indiscriminately, directly coming.
After being burned and killed, they turned around and rescued their own troops who were still fighting hard.
As expected by Wan Lei, the ladder siege team had just been repulsed, and the enemy troops on the top of the city were discouraged. On the contrary, our own army was like a chicken blood. Under the command of the officer, the shields
The shield wall formed by the hands squeezed forward with all its strength, while the spearmen behind kept raising their spears to stab and pick people.
The team fought with both offense and defense. With such a crazy counterattack, the enemy army couldn't resist it, and was quickly squeezed to the side of Lu Gong's car. At this time, a burst of "crackling" gunshots came from the city, and the defenders saw that something was not good.
, immediately dodged behind the female wall to hide, and the enemy troops who were hiding in Lu Gong's car and resisting took the opportunity to launch a counterattack.
However, this time they were no longer facing an ordinary army, but the Huotou Army. A group of ten Huotou Army formed a shield formation. The two-meter-high shield formation not only blocked their approach, but also blocked their approach.
He also blocked their sword and arrow attacks.
Not to mention, a long iron rod protruded from the gap in the shield, spraying kerosene like a showerhead, dousing them all over their bodies and faces. When they were doused with the pungent and astringent kerosene, they
They couldn't even open their eyes, and naturally they didn't notice that a torch had fallen on their heads. With a roar, the fire started, and the enemy's position immediately became a sea of flames.
Because kerosene is precious, after successfully setting a fire, the Huotou Army immediately retreated to the side, and the city defense army immediately filled the vacant positions, stabbing the enemies who were struggling painfully in the sea of fire with their long spears. It is a typical example of taking advantage of your illness to kill you without bringing any weapons with you.
A little hesitant.
When the musketeers below the city saw that the friendly troops on the city had become fire troops, they wanted to shoot and rescue them. However, as soon as they loaded their ammunition, all the musketeers on the city were rushed into Lu Gong's car, and the fire immediately spread to Lu Gong's car.
It was originally a weapon for siege, but it soon became a large fire cave. The enemy troops hiding in it were about to spread when they saw the fire. They could not even bother to put out the fire, so they fled without their lives.
The first wave of attacks was repulsed. In addition to leaving thousands of corpses behind, a large number of siege equipment was also lost. The enemy general supervising the battle went crazy and ordered archers and musketeers to fire in retaliation at the tower.
However, as before, the defenders all hid behind the parapet when they saw something was going wrong. Even the wounded soldiers were pulled behind the parapet.
With no place to vent their anger, the enemy generals could only stare at the towers of Peking. They were sent to smash the city gate, but the gate was as thick as the city wall and could not be broken no matter how hard they smashed. They were sent to climb the city wall, but they were beaten back several times.
The siege equipment was either destroyed or burned, and it was impossible to attack even if they wanted to. Now other than to retreat and discuss the battle plan, the enemy generals had nothing to do.
Compared to the enemy troops who suffered thousands of battle losses, the defenders were not faring well either. They also suffered heavy casualties. Wan Lei frowned as he looked at the blood-covered city walls and the screaming wounded soldiers:
It seemed that he still underestimated the enemy's combat power. It was obvious that the new army, which had fighting spirit but lacked training, was no match for those brave and ruthless Tatars.
"Immediately carry the wounded to the military doctor below the city, quickly." Wan Lei sighed with emotion. Seeing that the enemy had temporarily retreated, Wan Lei immediately urged his subordinates to start rescuing the wounded and counting the casualties.
Soon, the battle losses were tallied up. In the ten minutes of hand-to-hand combat, nearly 300 defenders were killed and nearly a thousand wounded.
Over a thousand men were lost in one battle, and Wan Lei's heart was bleeding. Although he usually advocated that men should be cruel to themselves, this did not mean that he was a cold-blooded animal. A man who was originally lively and vigorous, in just ten minutes,
It turned into a pile of corpses on the ground, and no one who saw it could feel calm.
"Brother Wan, we are here to help." Zhao Xueer arrived at the gate downstairs at some unknown time. When she saw Wan Lei coming down, she immediately ran over and put a smile on her face.
"There was no one in the bloody battle just now, why are you here now?" Wan Lei was naturally not in a better mood after suffering too many losses in the battle.
"Little layman, as the saying goes, God has the virtue of good life, we are here to help rescue the wounded soldiers." Very rare, the slovenly Taoist priest also came.
"What the hell, God has the virtue of a good life? If God really has the virtue of a good life, he should help in the battle, instead of waiting for everyone to be dead and injured before showing mercy." Wan Lei rolled his eyes at the sloppy Taoist Priest. He knew that this old Taoist's brains
He is very cunning and doesn't like killing people. If he doesn't use provocation, he won't help in the battle.
"People came to help with good intentions, but they got scolded. From now on, we won't come anymore." Zhao Xueer was angry again.
"If you don't come, you won't come. Anyway, there is no shortage of you in the defense of the city. But if you survive, it is because of the blood of tens of millions of people spilled on the city. When your descendants ask about this in the future, I wonder what you will do.
Answer." Wan Lei's voice became louder. It was obvious that these were meant for those who were afraid of death.
Sure enough, as soon as Wan Lei finished speaking, the officials and gentry who were hiding under the city and looking around blushed for a while. Indeed, Wan Lei's words touched the dirty thoughts in their hearts, that is, if they don't do anything to defend the city, they will be waiting for Peking.
When the defense battle was victorious, he would go to great lengths to seek credit and rewards from the court.
