Chapter 691 The Battle of Huguang (3)

Compared with the light arrows shot by more than 30 small officers, the healthy women pulled the catapult and the 10,000 enemies shot out were even more powerful.

Two 10,000 enemies fell into the crowd and exploded two balls of fire. These 10,000 enemies improved by Li Guodong are much more powerful than the 10,000 enemies used by the Ming Dynasty today. What poisonous fire, divine oil, etc. are added to the 10,000 enemies used by the Ming army. In Li Guodong's view, is this a weapon or a elixir? So he removed all the miscellaneous things, except gunpowder and caltrops. The 10,000 enemies exploded in the crowd, and countless rusty caltrops flew everywhere, either dead or injured.

After all, there were only more than 300 defenders, and even with only more than 600 women, the firepower was still a little weak. The left army's shield chariot finally pushed more than ten steps away from the sand lane, but the trench in front blocked the road where the shield chariot continued to advance.

The Left Army forced the refugees to leave the shield van and carry sandbags to fill the trench.

Bai Zhengming, hiding in a sand basin, aimed at a refugee fifteen steps away and pulled the trigger. The cover of the medicine pool was opened, and the fuse was pressed into the medicine pool. Only a "boom" sound was heard. The refugee who was holding a sandbag was about to fill the trench sprayed a blood sword and fell backwards.

After shooting a gun, Bai Zhengming immediately retreated and gave the shooting hole to his comrades. He went to the back to load gunpowder projectiles.

The sound of guns continued. The left army refugees who filled the trenches fell one by one in the pool of blood. Some people fell into the trenches with sandbags. The sandbags behind them were thrown down and pressed on the corpse. Although the military households desperately loaded bird guns and fired bullets one after another, they still couldn't stop the refugees who kept rushing up.

Bai Zhengming had loaded the bullets and came up again, he found a regular soldier of the Zuo Family Army wearing a red mandarin duck battle jacket, wearing a cotton armor on the outside, and a goose yellow red tassel felt hat. The guy stood behind and was making trouble. The knife in his hand kept slashing some refugees who turned around and fled. Bai Zhengming aimed at the guy and silently said in his heart: "It's you!"

"Boom" the bird gun emitted a ball of fire, and the bullet passed through the gap between the two shield cars, hitting the soldier's right chest, and the projectile penetrated into his body, creating a huge cavity. The guy screamed and flew backwards.

"Good fight!" Tao Kairan shouted, "The gun technique is accurate, and he specializes in fighting the soldiers wearing armor of the thief army!"

Another row of gunfire sounded, and this time, many elite bandit soldiers who had not been hidden fell, all of them were Zuo Liangyu's veterans.

The trencher behind kept throwing out ten thousand enemies and exploded in the dense crowd. Every ten thousand enemies fell to the ground, which could blow out the dense crowd of left soldiers into a large gap.

"It's almost filling the trench, rush up!" Lu Guangzu, the number one general under Zuo Liangyu, drew his knife and yelled at the top of his lungs.

A section of the trench was filled, and the black Left Army refugees rushed through the trench and began to climb the fortress made of sandbags.

"Retreat back." Huang Lei issued an order to the military households stationed in Fort No. 1.

As long as someone climbed onto the top of the sand basin, the sand basin could not hold it back. In order to maintain its vitality, Huang Lei asked the defenders inside to retreat. At the same time, on the earthen city behind the sand basin, bird guns, three-eyed guns, bows and arrows, Folang machines, and turtledog-foot guns were aimed at the left army refugees who climbed onto the top of the sand basin and fired violently. The bullet arrows were splashed one after another, and the heart-wrenching screams sounded, and many people died on the spot. The undead left army refugees fell on the sand basin and cried. In a blink of an eye, a thick layer of corpses piled up on the top of the sand basin.

Tao Kairan, Bai Zhengming and others had already withdrawn from the sand lane, climbed the stairs built on the Tucheng City, and climbed to the top of the city. Tao Kairan was the last to climb up the stairs. As soon as he climbed to the top of the city, the military households above took the stairs back.

The Zuo Army paid a heavy price and finally climbed over Shalei. However, after they passed Shalei, they found in despair that there was still a block of Tucheng in front of them! The Zuo Army did not carry the siege ladder and rushed to the city. Looking at Tucheng, which blocked his way, was at a loss. Just as they were stunned, a wolf teeth fell on the top of the city, and the Yasha slap and lime bottles hit the Zuo Army under the city, and a large area of ​​Zuo Army under the city fell on the spot.

"I didn't expect that there was a city wall behind the sandbag. How to attack the city without a ladder? Mingjin should withdraw his troops." Lu Guangzu found something was wrong, so he had no choice but to order Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

If the troops are not withdrawn, more and more people will be crowded under the city, and the wolf teeth on the top of the city will be slapped, and the yaksha will be hit on the head and the more crowded the people will be, the more serious the casualties will be.

The left army's cannon fodder team retreated, but did not retreat. Instead, they retreated back to the shield carriage fifty steps away, gathered again, waiting for the ladder to arrive and launched another attack.

Lu Guangzu's army carried simple cloud ladders, and soon the cloud ladders were sent up. Then the cannon fodder of the left army launched another attack, shouting and rushing through the filled trenches. Simple cloud ladders were built on the Tucheng, and the refugees who acted as cannon fodder began to climb up to the top of the city.

The soldiers guarding the city picked up a large spoon, went deep into the hot iron pot, scooped out spoonfuls of gold juice that emitted a foul smell, and poured it down from the top of the city to the bottom of the city.

The golden juice poured down, and the left army refugees who were climbing the cloud ladder made heart-wrenching screams, falling from the cloud ladder piece by piece. In some places, the defenders pushed the winch over, slapped the yaksha and smashed it down the city. The left army on the cloud ladder fell in rows, and the cloud ladder was also broken.

Discovering that the thief army under the city had become denser, Huang Lei ordered: "Attack the turret tank, aim at the thief soldiers and burn it hard!"

The defenders at the city wall pushed out a four-wheeled car with a large iron cabinet on it and a copper tube above it. A military household pulled the pull rod behind it, and then another person lit the gunpowder at the nozzle with a torch. The military household behind pushed the pull rod, and the air compressed by the pump was injected into the nozzle of the turbulent oil cabinet. The burning turbulent oil sprayed under the city.

The scorching flames erupted under the city walls, and the crowded city walls immediately burned into a sea of ​​burning fire. The soldiers of the left army, who were sprayed with harsh tinders, were struggling and rolling in the sea of ​​fire, screaming like ghosts and wolves howling. No matter how they rolled and thrust, the flames could not be extinguished. Instead, the burning fire oil splashed on their companions, causing more people to catch fire.

The city burned into a sea of ​​fire, and ladders broke in the raging fire and collapsed.

The second round of attack of the Left Army was retracted again. The undead refugee cannon fodder fled back along the same path, leaving only the companions at the city who were still struggling in the sea of ​​fire.

Lu Guangzu, who had retreated, knelt in front of Zuo Liangyu and apologized: "Master, please punish the crime of ineffective combat!"

"Get up." Zuo Liangyu made a gesture. He didn't expect that a small, unfinished military residence would be so difficult to fight.

Zuo Menggeng offered advice: "My father, Li Ergou set up a circle of sand castles outside the Tucheng to protect the Tucheng so that our artillery could not bombard the Tucheng. As long as we send people up and move all the sandbags away, we can shell the Tucheng."

"Okay!" Zuo Liangyu nodded, turned to look at Lu Guangzu, "Guangzu, take people up and remove a circle of sand castles outside the Tucheng. As long as we remove the sandbags, we can directly knock down Li Ergou's Tucheng with cannons!"

"No!" Lu Guangzu retreated.

The Zuo family army launched a siege again. This time, a large number of refugees were carrying iron cauldrons. The iron picks rushed through the filled trench. After rushing through the trench, they did not rush straight to the city, but instead drilled under the sand block, waved the iron picks to dig the sandbags, hoping to clean up all the sandbags on the periphery to facilitate the Zuo Army to shell the Tucheng.

As a result, these refugees found that these sandbags buried in the soil were difficult to dig out! The bird guns, turtledog-foot guns, Folang machines, and tiger squat cannons on the top of the city fired violently, and arrows fell in rows, and a large area of ​​the left army, who were digging the sand basket, fell down.
