Huang Tai was very angry. He saw that the ladder was not long enough. It was more than one meter short, and some were short of two or three meters.
Didn't you have eyes to see when you were making the ladder?
"You slaves, drag them down and beat them hard." Huang Taiji was furious. How could such a fortified city be such a child's play? Obviously, the ladder makers all made them according to the uniform dimensions of the Ming Dynasty city.
In the Ming Dynasty, the height of city walls was strictly regulated. However, some city walls were historically the ancient capital, and some were over-high due to some special reasons. These are all problems left over from history. They cannot be demolished anymore. In ancient times, building city walls was a big project.
.Even raising and thickening the city walls can be regarded as achievements of local officials.
Although officials in ancient times were particular about not building government offices, no one was unwilling to build city walls. Once this thing was repaired, the people in the city would erect monuments to commemorate it. The local people generally believed that this was a great merit. Of course, if the people were squeezed to build it,
That's another matter. If the people are forced to do corvee work and taxes are raised, making the people miserable and selling their children and daughters, then the crime is higher than the city wall, and there is no merit in it.
Huang Taiji was so angry that he really wanted to kill them. These dog slaves did not come to see the height of the Zunhua city wall before they started doing it. They were doing it behind closed doors and it was unreasonable.
How do these dog slaves do things? Are their minds all muddled, are they all Aqina, Seth Hei?
The Zunhua city wall is three feet and five feet high, which is rare in border towns. In the Ming Dynasty, a foot was 33 centimeters. Three feet and five feet is about 11.5 meters. However, the length of most team ladders is only three feet, which is not enough to reach the height of the city wall. The Imperial City Wall
The height is usually between 12 and 14 meters, while the width varies according to the lot. For example, the width of the inner city walls is about 17 to 18 meters at the bottom and 11 to 12 meters at the top.
In other words, when Qi Jiguang was guarding Ji Town, he could raise the height as much as possible as long as it did not exceed the capital. It was a full foot higher than the local city wall.
These soldiers were dumbfounded when they climbed to the top of the ladder. It was still six or seven feet tall, and they couldn't climb up. They could only use their waist knives and shields to fight the Ming army at the crenel. This was embarrassing. Not only could they not get up, they also had to
He tried his best to dodge and block, but the spears and knives were stabbed from the crenel. For a while, he screamed in agony.
Dorgon looked at the embarrassment of Zhenghuang Banner and smiled from ear to ear. He was riding behind Huang Taiji and Daishan. His status was not on the same level as the four Baylors. Of course, the siege weapons built by the engineering battalion were
Give two yellow flags and two red flags.
Now the two white flags are those that grandma does not care about and uncles do not love. They belong to the forgotten corner. In the past two years, military pay, food, and materials were distributed last. If they are not enough, they will be in arrears. Huang Taiji used these means to disintegrate the two white flags. Let
The warriors who were unwilling to live in poverty turned to the two yellow flags.
Over the years, he has acquired many warriors and at the same time weakened the strength of the three Dorgon brothers.
The siege weapons of the two white flags can only be built by oneself. Therefore, Dorgon really went to the front line in person and carefully observed and measured remotely. Therefore, all the ladders of the Zhengbai Banner in the siege are high enough.
"It depends on Qake Duli." Duduo was also muttering beside him.
At this time, the walls around the city were all occupied by the Eight Banners soldiers attacking the city. All of them had a large section of their ladder broken. They were awkwardly fighting on the top of the ladder and at the crenellation.
Kake Duli was carrying the shotguns from the horses on both sides at any time, his eyes were burning with anxiety. His ladder was also a long way off. He didn't know what to do. Suddenly, his lieutenant was shot and couldn't bear it, so he hurried to
Look. As a result, he found that the angle assumed for the ladder of their white flag was much lower than that of the other flags.
He suddenly realized that he saw where other ladder heads were placed, and they also placed them there. On the battlefield, arrows were flying randomly, and artillery fire and flying rocks were hitting his head and face. People are all blind, and they often have a herd mentality.
"Push the ladder forward so you can reach it, hurry up!" Kakduli shouted loudly.
The words woke up the dreamer. Only then did Zheng Baiqi realize that his ladder had a large inclination and he could lean forward. A dozen white-toothed soldiers hugged the heavy ladder and pushed it forward together. The steel at the top of the ladder
Hooking on the outside of the blue brick city wall, a series of sparks were sparked. Brick chips fell down.
With a click, the hook successfully reached into the crenel and stuck the blue bricks in the crenel.
"Okay, climb up, hurry up. The credit for climbing up first belongs to our Zhengbaiqi. Hahaha." Kak Duli shouted ecstatically.
Ladders with white flags were put up on the crenel in large numbers.
White Fang Laobing led the way. They were the only ones with physical strength. They wore triple armor, held a small round arm shield in one hand, and climbed up the ladder quickly with a steel knife in their mouths.
The defenders on the city wall responded immediately. Several large rocks were smashed down, and the three white-toothed soldiers were hit head-on. Their chests were collapsed and they fell down with a crackle.
The five white-toothed warriors immediately grabbed their big bows and shot towards the top of the city. The arrows were all fired, and several people who leaned out to throw stones were shot one after another and fell down.
Immediately, a group of white-toothed warriors immediately climbed up with all their strength. Gualjiasulu was about to climb up the crenel, when suddenly a three-eyed gun with green smoke stretched out.
Bang bang bang! Three lead bullets hit his chest solidly. They penetrated the triple armor at such a close range. Blood gurgled from the three holes in his back. Then he fell backwards.
Samuhatu, who was holding the flag under Ibai Nulu, first hid to the side, then quickly climbed a few steps, jumped up, and jumped into the crenel. He was the first to board the city.
Dorgon saw the Zhengbai Banner's flag mounted on the city wall, and excitedly slapped his saddle. The Eight Banners army formation saw the Zhengbai Banner's flag, which had already climbed up the city wall of Zunhua. They all cheered immediately, because this was Biningyuan City.
A taller, stronger city.
Ningyuan City has been blocking them for more than ten years. They almost despaired of Jinzhou and Ningyuan. No matter how many times they fight, the blue city will always stand there.
As soon as Samuhatu climbed onto the city wall, he immediately stabbed to death the three-eyed gunman who was loading the gun with the spear on the head of the flagpole. Then he raised the flagpole and swept across it, knocking the three surrounding Ming soldiers to the ground.
At this time, five more White Tooth Soldiers boarded the top of the city and immediately secured the breach.
From the corridor on the second floor of the archery tower, Wang Yuanya saw at a glance that the sections of the city that Zhengbai Banner was attacking were falling one after another. The white-helmeted soldiers from Zhengbai Banner surged up to the top of the city like a tide. His face was so frightened that his face was as pale as earth, and his whole body was shaking like chaff.
He is a civil servant and has never been on the battlefield. It is not easy for him to persist until now.
What he was afraid of at this time was not his own life but the loss of Zunhua City, and the army would open the passage to the west to the capital. He would never be able to atone for his sin.
"Soldiers! You will serve the imperial court in the near future. Follow me and kill." Wang Yuanya drew out her sword, raised one arm, and shouted breathlessly.
