Chapter 35 The Battle of Kaiyuan City (Part 2)

Seeing the Later Jin army launching several Franc cannons from afar and aiming at the Kaiyuan City Wall, Marin shouted anxiously: "Jiannu is going to fire, be careful!"

Gao Shixin did not dodge or dodge, but laughed: "The old slave's heads are all in our city, and his elite servants have been destroyed. Just by those coated cannoners, even if they are lucky enough to not blow up the chamber, they still want to hit us?"

Not to mention, the gunners of the Later Jin army were really Baoyi Aha. The wild boar skin did not value the Han people as much as Huang Taiji. After Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, he carried many Han people into the Eight Banners. Moreover, the surrendered Han officials first-rank second-rank Han people married the daughter of Zhu Beile to them, and the Han people were directly carried into the Eight Banners of Jurchens. The surrendered Han soldiers married the widows from the Eight Banners of Manchus, and the Ming soldiers also turned into the Eight Banners of Jurchens.

Later, with the addition of Sanshun Kings, Huang Taiji may have considered that it was not enough for Jurchen women to carry all the Han people into the Eight Banners of Jurchens, so he set up two other Han military flags to show the difference from the Eight Banners of Jurchens. Later, with more and more Han people surrendering, the two Han military flags expanded into the Eight Banners Han Army, which was second not only to the Eight Banners of Manchus, but also to the Eight Banners of Mongolia. After the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, the Ming army that surrendered again did not even give them the Eight Banners of Han, and also added a green camp.

The gunners of the Later Jin army fired. As expected, as Gao Shixin said, several shells hit the bottom of the city wall. The shells of small cannons such as Franchises could not shake the city wall at all! Some shells fell into the moat, arousing the sky-storming water column, and more shells fell into the coated crowd, killing a lot of their coated clothes.

Small cannons like Francis machine attack the city will have a certain effect only when hitting the female fence. Hitting the city wall is just a tickling.

The old slave saw that the attack of the coat gunner was useless, so he ordered: "Those Han dogs are useless! Use a whip to teach them to continue firing! If they can't hit it accurately, cut off a few heads!"

The whip in the hands of the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers fell on the coated gunners like rain, urging them to make sure that the next round of artillery must hit the effective position. The gunners loaded under the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers' whip and operated the artillery. As a result, the second round of artillery bombing was better. Of course, for the coating of the trenches, almost all the shells fell into the coated cannon fodder crowd, killing and injuring hundreds of people.

The Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers who were supervising the battle raised their swords and cut off the heads of several coat gunners in succession.

As a result, in panic, the gunners who loaded the gunpowder for the Fran Machine gun had more gunpowder. And at the urging of the Jianzhou soldiers, some people didn't even care about cooling the gunboat and stuffed the gun into it. As a result, a loud "boom" sound was heard. The Fran Machine gun exploded. While several gunners on the side were crushed to pieces, two Jianzhou soldiers who were supervising the battle were also blown to pieces.

The old slave was furious and ordered the Franco gunners to advance and approach within 150 steps from the city, and then shell the city wall. It is necessary to let the shells hit the female wall. As long as the female wall battlement is destroyed, the defenders at the top of the city will lose a layer of protection, so that the archers of the Later Jin army can play a role.

Seeing the Later Jin army's Fran machine cannon was pushed up, leaving only 150 steps away from the city wall, Gao Shi sneered in confidence: "Good come, come to die!"

Just as the coat gunners were about to load, an arrow flew from the top of the city. One coat gunner stabbed a feather arrow on his throat and fell down with his hands and feet. Then another arrow fell from the sky and stabbed a coat gunner who was about to put a sub-gun into the abdomen. The coat gunner lost his strength and the sub-gun fell to the ground.

Gao Shixin shot arrows one after another, shooting light arrows. Using light arrows to deal with coats without any armor on his body can be said to be a life of one arrow! Originally, archers used dense rain of arrows to deal with dense formations. The accuracy of light arrows was very poor, so they were all covered archers. However, in Gao Shixin's hand, the light arrows shot accurately hit every arrow!

In just two minutes, Gao Shixin shot out fifty light arrows in a row, killing all the coated gunners of the Later Jin army who were 150 steps away from the opposite side.

"Who is that person? The archery technique is so superb!" The old slave was stunned. It was not uncommon to be able to shoot light arrows a hundred and fifty steps away. The white-armored Bayala soldiers among the Jianzhou Jurchens could do it. However, the light arrows shot accurately can shoot people a hundred and fifty steps away, which would be too amazing.

The coat gunners of the Later Jin army were either dead or injured, and those Francis machines became decorations. The Jianzhou Jurchens themselves did not know how to use them, and even less could they understand those cannon fodder coatings.

The Ming army guarding the city used firearms, bows, arrows and beds to kill the coated cannon fodder that filled the trenches, and killed the bodies outside the moat, making the moat pile up into a hill. Many of the coats who turned around and escaped were killed by the Later Jin soldiers in a blink of an eye.

But after all, there were not many defenders in Kaiyuan City, with only more than 5,000 people, and it was still impossible to stop Baoyi from filling a section of the moat. Baoyi came up behind and pushed all the bodies piled up by the moat into the river. With the continuous drop of macao, he finally filled a section of the moat.

"Kill into the city and kill all the Nikan Han dogs inside!" Seeing that a section of moat was filled, the old slave became excited.

"Kill!" The coated shouters carrying simple cloud ladders rushed through the filled moat, rushed to the city, and put a simple cloud ladder onto the top of the city.

Although it is a simple cloud ladder, there is a hook above the cloud ladder that can hook the city wall, making it difficult for the defenders to push it away. After the cloud ladder was placed on the city wall, the first batch of coats began to climb up to the city excitedly.

"put!"

"put!"

Accompanied by the shouts of grassroots officers of the defenders, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, or one by one, and one by one, the one in a straight line, fell from the ladder.

After the Langyapa and Yasha were pulled up by the Ming army with a winch, we could see that the coats that fell to the ground had been nailed into a horse's nest with long iron nails.

Not only were the yaksha slap and wolf teeth put down by the soldiers guarding the city, but the young and strong people on the front of the city who helped defend the city also picked up lime bottles from the ground, poured water into the lime bottle, then stuffed the cork tightly, and threw the lime bottles from the front of the city.

The lime bottle fell on the ground. Because the quicklime heated when it encountered water, the sealed cork made the swelling air and water unable to leak out. As a result, the lime bottles exploded one after another, and the hot hot water splashed everywhere with the quicklime. Only a large number of heart-wrenching screams sounded under the city. Many coats holding simple cloud ladders loosened the cloud ladders and covered their eyes and fell down.

Even if the quicklime was not splashed into the eyes, the broken pottery bottle fragments sprayed on the hands and faces with hot lime, which made the coats so hot that they howled.

The eyes were burned by lime. With the medical technology of this era, it was useless. I could only wait for my eyes to be burned blind. Unless I could receive timely treatment and vegetable oil was used to clean my eyes, I could clean up the lime. But the lives of these coated coats were not valuable at all. Will the Jianzhou Jurchens be willing to use vegetable oil to treat them?

The cloud ladders were loaded in some places. The winches used by the Ming army defenders to put on wolf teeth and yaksha slaps before they could push them over. As a result, the young and strong who assisted in defending the city picked up a large spoon, scooped spoonfuls of gold juice from the hot iron pot, and poured them down the ladder.

The smelly and hot golden juice poured on Baiyi Aha. The scalded Baiyi Aha immediately burst into pieces and rolled down from the ladder with screams.

Compared to scalds, the most deadly part of gold juice is its dirtyness. Dirty things enter the flesh along the scalded wounds, which will soon cause the wound to get inflamed. These dirty things are easy to attract bacteria. In this era, as long as you are burned by gold juice, you will basically be waiting to die.
