5.66 million enemies
I saw that there were scattered scatterers in the Ming army camp outside the city. The number was so large that there were about fifty scatterers in the direction of the city where he was located.
Turning around, Jiergalang discovered that there should be similar catapults near other city gates.
What is Ming Jun doing?
They are already in the age of artillery, and they are still using trenchers?
"Hahaha..." Jianlu on the top of the city couldn't help laughing when he saw it, and mocked the Ming army outside the city.
Before they could finish laughing, they saw many cars being pushed out from the Ming army camp.
This time, Jianlu on the top of the city stopped laughing, and felt that the scene in front of him was a bit incredible.
Now at this time, the Ming army is attacking outside the city and their defense in the city has already made them feel inverted.
When they saw again, Ming Jun actually used their previous specialty skills: car racing, which made them feel even more ridiculous.
They felt that it seemed that they had become the Ming army, and the Ming army outside the city was the Qing army.
After coming back to his senses, Jianlu on the top of the city disagreed.
At the top of Jinzhou City, there are red cannons. Not only does the range of the fire, but whether it is a catapult or a scattered car, as long as you hit it, it will be apart.
It can be said that with the Red Cannons, the Ming army's catapult carts and carts are not a problem!
They thought so, but Jirgalang didn't think so. Seeing that his face was serious, he immediately ordered his generals to go out of the city to fight.
When defending the city, you can also go out of the city to fight back. Just guarding the city and being passively beaten is not a good way to defend the city.
His men were a little confused after hearing this. It was just the beginning. Wouldn't it be better to fight before using the defensive battle to defeat the Ming army before going out?
After hearing this, Jirgalang immediately turned around and looked outside the city, then turned around and said seriously: "The Ming army is coming in full force, why don't you use artillery but catapults? Don't they know why artillery is more powerful? Therefore, there must be a fraud in this. The Ming army cannot succeed. We must destroy those chariots and catapults!"
After hearing this, his subordinates immediately convinced him and immediately went to prepare for the city.
Then, Jirgalang turned his head and looked out of the city again, with a serious face. He wanted to seize the opportunity to order his subordinates to fight.
If you leave the city early and stay away from it and guard it by the Ming army, you will definitely not be able to destroy the catapult carts and chariots; only if you are placed closer can you ensure that the army leaving the city destroys the target and returns to the city in time before the Ming army can react.
The Ming army outside the city was only front-line officers in command, and basically no one spoke. The atmosphere on the battlefield was a bit quiet but depressing.
Slowly, the Ming army siege troops were getting closer and closer to the head of Jinzhou. When they were about to enter the effective range of the red cannons on the head of the city, the Ming soldiers who were pushing the cart and the catapult suddenly accelerated their movements and approached the head of the city at a faster speed.
On the top of Jinzhou city, Jirgalang did not hesitate and immediately ordered the red cannons on the top of the city to start shooting.
On the Jianlu side, the people who operated artillery were all from the Eight Banners of the Han army, many of which were the firearm troops brought out from Dengzhou when Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming rebelled against the Ming Dynasty.
This group of people was trained by the court by the Folangji people himself. In this era, they can be said to be one of the Ming people who know the most about firearms. Of course, there is no such thing as Jianlu.
However, although Huang Taiji attached great importance to the artillery troops, due to the lack of materials, they did not train much after they arrived at Jianlu. Especially in recent years, due to the destruction of the eight major Shanxi merchants and the effective blockade of the Ming army, the Jianlu had even scarce supplies, and their training was almost stopped. Only when fighting can artillery be fired.
Now, after receiving the military order from Jirgalang, they immediately manipulated the Red Barbarian cannons and began to target the catapults outside the city, because this target was even bigger.
After a while, smoke suddenly appeared on the top of Jinzhou city, and a "boom boom boom" sounded immediately.
The first round of artillery fire on the top of the city was not hit in one shot, either high or low, left or right.
After all, the shooting rate of artillery at this time was very touching, not to mention that they had never had the chance to shoot. Therefore, even if they were the best shooting among Jianlu, it was no exception: none of them hits.
Or when the Ming army outside the city was moving faster, the catapults and carriages were pushing forward.
Jirgalang noticed that behind each catapult, there were a series of side vans following, and the car was obviously filled with "cannonballs" that catapults were used!
He was also experienced. After just looking at it, he was sure that there was definitely no stone bullet inside the side van behind. What would it be?
Little, he was a little uneasy.
"Boom boom boom..."
The red cannons on the top of the city sounded again, and the iron bombs shot out from the sound of cannons, smashing to the ground and then plowing forward to create gaps.
This time, a shell finally hit the catapult outside the city. As Jianlu expected, the catapult suddenly fell apart like paper, scattered all over the ground. One of the Ming soldiers who were pushing the catapult around died and three injured on the spot.
"Okay! OK! OK..."
Seeing this scene, Jianlu on the top of the city was very excited and shouted loudly.
However, Jiergalang found that the loss of a catapult car did not scare the other Ming soldiers. On the side of the Ming army, someone immediately came out and bandaged the injured soldiers at the place where the catapult car was dispersed, and then carried them to the Ming army camp.
He was surprised to find that there were female soldiers in the Ming army, who were bandaged and petite, and they were definitely women. Compared with the ones carrying the wounded soldiers, the figure was too different.
"How come there are female soldiers in the army? Is there no one in Ming Kingdom?" Jirgalang thought so in his heart. To be honest, he couldn't understand.
Logically speaking, the Ming Dynasty has a vast land and a large population. Even if all men are slaughtered, some men can definitely be found, because the Ming Dynasty has too many people. But now, why did the Ming army let women on the battlefield?
This doubt just flashed through his mind and was thrown behind him. Now that the war is going on, he has no chance to think about these messy things.
However, the other Jianlu on the top of the city were obviously much more idle than him.
They also found that there were actually female soldiers in the Ming army, so they all started to laugh at them.
"There are actually women in the Ming army. There is no man anymore, right?"
"Haha, when you turn around and defeat the Ming army, these women cannot be killed!"
"Come on, wait until I leave the city and fight these female soldiers for three hundred rounds!"
“…”
Amid their low noise, the red cannons on the top of Jinzhou City continued to make deafening sounds.
"Boom boom boom..."
There were about four rounds of artillery bombardment. From the second round, a catapult was hit by the Red Barbarians. The Ming army lost a total of eight catapults.
By this time, the catapult had already reached the predetermined position. The Ming soldiers who were pushing the catapult immediately divided the work and were busy in an orderly manner, fixing the catapult.
The Ming army behind them began to follow up one after another.
As for those carriages, they were still moving forward, over the catapult carriage, and approaching the city gate.
At this time, it was close. Jirgalang on the top of the city found that among the Ming soldiers following the car, some seemed to be running with "cannons" on their backs.
No, the muzzle is too big, it is not a cannon at all! It's almost like a bucket, how could this be a cannon?
Just as he was observing the car, the catapults, those who had been fixed, immediately began to attack.
One by one, one big thing, was definitely not a stone bullet, and was thrown into Jinzhou City by a thrown cart.
Jianlu on the top of the city was a little nervous at first, looking at the dark thing in the sky.
But soon, they showed ridicule because the catapult was not accurate at all. They all used too much force and crossed the city and flew into the city.
If you can make a laugh, these Jianlu will definitely make a laugh. At this level, they dare to attack the city.
But after a while, I heard a loud noise coming from the city. Especially those still gathering troops were about to leave the city to attack, and they were all in a mess.
Jianlu on the top of the city turned his head and looked into the city, and immediately found in shock that the Ming army threw stone carts into the city, spraying fire, emitting thick smoke, and rotating there.
This kind of thing is not one or two, but is continuously thrown into the city by the Ming army, everywhere.
"Ten Thousands of Enemies!" You Jianlu immediately recognized this kind of thing. This was a powerful weapon to defend the city, but unexpectedly, it was taken to the Ming army to attack the city.
This enemy of ten thousand people was invented in the late Ming Dynasty. It was filled with gunpowder and poison, and after igniting it, it sprayed fire and smoke. It either ignites the enemy or makes the enemy lose its combat capability. In a sense, this is also a chemical weapon.
Because the Ming army's catapulted cars outside the city were too many, they were continuously projecting ten thousand enemies into the city. For a moment, there were ten thousand enemies swirling with poisonous smoke and fire everywhere in Jinzhou City. There were even houses and other objects in many places that were ignited.
Seeing this scene, Jirgalang immediately became sweaty and shouted: "Clog your mouth and nose with a wet cloth and put out the fire quickly."
Jianlu had suffered such losses in the city of Changli before, so he knew how to deal with it.
But there are too many of these things, and it is hard to say whether they can handle it for a while. Not to mention, the catapult car outside the city is still shooting wildly like not having money. Even if the catapult car is knocked down by the red cannons on the top of the city, it will not hinder the madness of other catapult cars.
Seeing this situation, Jirgalang had only one choice: it was too unrealistic to use red barbarian cannons to destroy the catapult cart outside the city, so he could only send troops out of the city.
So his order to leave the city was immediately sent out.
Chapter completed!
