1687, Tank, heavy artillery and machine gun siege battle II
Duduo was very anxious. Tianjin had already laid siege to the city, and it was too late to retreat at this time.
Although the number of enemies and ourselves is about the same, various strange things have been appearing outside the southeastern city wall in the past two days.
At this time, there were no residents in the city.
Duduo and the others took away everyone they could catch. Tianjin was now an empty city.
The slaves not only plundered property, but also plundered the population. Moreover, with so many people in the city, their numbers were not sufficient, and they were worried about causing trouble.
After all, invaders are unpopular. In Liaodong, Han people often poisoned wells and sapped isolated slaves. Many people disappeared after a visit to the latrines. They waited until the latrines were dug out.
was fished out.
Especially today, there were many steel monsters that were smoking and burning and walking on their own. These things were beyond his knowledge. He didn't know what they were or what their use was.
Duduo hid in the arrow tower and looked at the fifteen tanks lined up outside the east city, feeling a little dazed. He didn't know what these were and why they could move on their own without animal traction. And they were obviously made of steel.
of.
He Kui got half out of the hatch of the top turret and used a telescope to observe the opposite city wall.
"Let the armored bulldozers come in first and flatten the moat for me."
Following He Kui's order, three bulldozers headed towards the city wall with billowing smoke.
The Jiannu and Mongolians on the city wall immediately panicked. What kind of monster was this? They immediately bent their bows and arrows and started shooting, trying to prevent these monsters from approaching the city wall.
Whoosh! A dense rain of arrows came and landed on the steel shells of the three armored bulldozers.
Dong Sanliang was sitting in the cab, looking out from the steel shutters. While manipulating the two joysticks, he controlled the bulldozer to the edge of the moat and put down the shovel.
Although the bulldozer is steam-powered, it has a lot of horsepower. It has two steam power packs installed, with a full power of 300 horsepower. The horsepower is so small that it cannot push the soil and stone fragments on the ground.
The Mongols were very good at shooting. Countless arrows flew in and hit the bulldozer.
The crackling impact made Dong Sanliang unable to see the situation outside clearly. He cursed in a low voice while carefully pushing the moat embankment. Pushing the soil into the moat, he filled the moat bit by bit.
The arrowheads of the Mongols are mostly made of bones and stones. They are short of iron. These arrows made of stones and bones are smashed on the steel plate of the bulldozer, but they cannot cause any damage to the bulldozer.
Duduo looked at these monsters puffing black smoke and filled up a long section of the moat in a short time. He was immediately horrified. He quickly shouted: "Send the captured three generals' cannons over. Send those two red-coated cannons."
The cannons are also here. Go quickly."
At this time, he had already understood that bows and arrows were useless against these vehicles.
About a hundred meters of the moat was filled in by bulldozers and turned into a flat piece of land. Then ten steam engine excavators drove up. These excavators waved their shovels with one arm, like arrogant crabs, standing on end.
The pliers came forward arrogantly.
Duduo was dumbfounded, what was he going to do?
The Mongols and Eight Banners on the city wall also stared at each other, but soon they knew what they were going to do.
These monsters are here for demolition.
The steam engine excavator drove under the city wall and smashed the bricks and stones thrown down like raindrops. It raised its excavating arm and began to use the bucket to smash the battlements on the city wall.
Because the city wall in Tianjin is not very high, the excavation arm can be stretched out just enough to reach the crenellations.
On November 21, the second year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (December 23, 1404), Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, decided to set up a garrison in Zhigu and named it "Tianjin".
At that time, Huang Fu, Minister of Industry, and Chen Xuan, Bo of Pingjiang, both ordered Chen Da to dig the moat and use soil to build Tianjin's earthen city wall.
There are four arched gates in the east, south, west and north in the middle of the four sides of the city wall, and a two-story tower above the gates.
Because the city wall is long from east to west, short from north to south, and has a rectangular plane, it is commonly known as "Abacus City".
After the Tianjin City Wall was built, it was repeatedly eroded by floods, so the Ming and Qing dynasties continued to maintain and rebuild the city wall.
From the 6th to 7th year of Hongzhi (1493-1494), Liu Fu, the deputy envoy of Shandong Province, ordered Tianjin's military preparations to be strengthened by wrapping the Tianjin earthen city walls with bricks, and placed them above the four gates in the east, south, west and north respectively.
The words "Zhendong", "Dingnan", "Anxi" and "Gongbei" are inlaid on the forehead.
The city wall in the late Ming Dynasty was only over three feet high and only seven or eight meters thick.
By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the bricks covered with bricks in the Hongzhi Dynasty were almost two hundred years old. Many of the green bricks were rotten. At this time, when the excavator shoveled down, brick dust flew everywhere, and a large area collapsed. Continue to shovel down, and a large area was covered with bricks.
It was peeled off and collapsed like a brick wall.
Duduo was anxious, the city wall couldn't bear digging like this.
After seeing large pieces of bricks falling off, these buckets were aimed at the rammed earth wall inside and began to dig out. As soon as they were dug out, a big hole was found. The city wall had been in disrepair over the years, and the rammed earth inside the bricks had long been removed.
It's riddled with holes.
As the digging began, dust flew up so overwhelmingly that the Mongolians on the wall could no longer see below and could not even shoot arrows.
Suhe was a Nayan from a small tribe. He led 300 warriors and followed the Qing Dynasty to this place. At this time, he was in charge of this 300-meter section of the city wall. Suhe shouted loudly and asked the Mongols to move the city wall just now.
The stone steps that were carried up to the city wall were thrown down from the city wall.
Try to destroy these smoke-belching monsters.
These stone bars were carried from the entrance of the government office. Each stone bar is three meters long and weighs more than three hundred kilograms. It takes five people to hold it and throw it down.
Now, the battlements have been smashed by these buckets. Now the city wall is bare, and large holes have been dug inward in several places. The collapse has formed a slope.
Those monsters with caterpillars were actually able to drive up from the slope and continue digging deeper.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yang Fan, Tu Shanyue, and Lin Yueru used telescopes to clearly see three steam excavators climbing up the slope of the collapsed city wall, sounding their whistles, and roaring angrily.
Climb upward.
Su He was anxious and immediately called on the Mongolian soldiers to intercept them quickly. These monsters must not be allowed to climb up the city wall.
The Mongols shouted and surrounded them from all sides, holding up shields and scimitars.
Zhao Fushan controlled the joystick while controlling the digging and excavation arms. He saw the Mongolians on both sides of the city wall crowded around him, and several people lifted stones to smash his excavator.
The metal steel plate outside was clanged by stones.
Zhao Fushan was furious. He regarded this machine as his darling. He cared more about it than his wife. This way of smashing it, the paint must have peeled off and there were pits on the surface.
He cursed while operating the digging arm to drive the digging bucket. Just like a man stretching out his arms and fists, he attacked the Mongolians throwing stones on the left and right.
Ah! Ah! Ah! There was a scream, and Su He saw a huge black fist hitting his group of people. With a clang, the huge fist hit the crowd hard like a punch.
There was a loud bang. A dozen people were smashed to a bloody pulp. A dozen more people flew backwards.
The floor tiles on the city wall at their feet were also shattered. A large piece of the city wall collapsed again. More than 30 people fell into the slope dug by the steam excavator.
Zhao Fushan gritted his teeth and cursed these bastards for smashing his baby bump. He immediately rotated the crawler track sideways and directly pressed the fallen person with the crawler track.
Those who fell in, before they could figure out what was going on, saw the huge tracks turning sideways and pinning them directly underneath.
Su He was stunned. He watched as Goudou punched a few times and smashed all the people around them until their flesh and blood flew away and turned into a pile of meat patties. The walking device under the monster turned sideways and fell away again.
All the people who went down were crushed into pieces of flesh, and combined with the collapsed city wall, it turned into a road soaked in blood and flesh.
