Chapter 195: Attacking the Village (2)
These artillery are not able to be loaded later like the Fran machine cannons used by the Ming army. The four stone cannons in the camp are cumbersome to load and have a very slow firing rate.
Fortunately, after a few cannons, they also scared these cavalrymen.
After leaving behind seven or eight foreign soldiers and war horses, he rode his horse and fled.
"Very good, very good." After seeing his cavalry successfully lured the firepower of the Ming army guarding the village, Mosin also applauded repeatedly.
"Attack." With Mosin's order, four hundred soldiers rushed towards the Ming army camp.
Four hundred soldiers, holding swords and shields, wearing rattan armor, and four or five rushing cars rushed towards the camp ahead.
"Hurry up, destroy these rushing cars." Seeing these foreign soldiers rushing towards them with rushing cars, a flag official shouted.
"Just sir, the gun gun is still loading." Several gunmen were carrying stone bullets and gunpowder in panic. In a panic, the black gunpowder was still spread all over the floor.
Car crashes are also called car crashes, and they are responsible for siege tools used to siege cities and villages.
The rushers used by the people in the past were relatively simple, but the problem was that the camps of the Ming people were not as strong as those of Nainong City.
If the rusher is allowed to rush to the camp, the rusher must be crashed.
"Hurry, set the rockets." The archers in the camp set the rockets in the car.
The soldiers guarding the chariots were holding vine shields to block the rockets.
For a moment, the Ming army rocketers could not do anything to these rushers.
The reason why the foreign soldiers used chariots to attack Nainong City did not have much effect before was that there were too many Ming army artillery guarding Nainong City.
Before he could reach the city, he was shot into parts by Mingren's cannons.
But the camp guarded by Qianhai Camp in front of him did not have so many artillery, and the only four stone cannons were used to drive away the cavalry, and they were still loading shells in tediously.
Compared to the previous attack on Nainong, the Ming people camp in front of him had much weaker firepower, and the attacking soldiers also shouted loudly.
"Let's go." The gunners on a stone cannon were finally finished.
"Bang!" A stone bullet weighing more than six pounds hit a rushing car in an instant, and several soldiers who were escorting flew out.
The rusher was beaten apart, and the wooden wheel was knocked away by huge inertia and hit a soldier's leg.
After that, the remaining stone cannons also opened fire.
Since the distance is only one or two hundred steps, the stone cannon has high accuracy.
In just a few shots, three rushers were destroyed or injured.
At this time, the foreign soldiers who were rushing to the front had already rushed to the front of the camp.
The foreign soldiers carrying the siege ladders had already rushed to the camp. After raising the ladders under the city, they lined up in a long line and climbed up step by step under the cover of a large number of foreign soldiers and archers.
"The archer and musketeer suppressed the enemy, and the foreigners could not rush up." A flag official shouted.
"Bang, bang, bang"
"Swoosh, swosh, swosh"
Flashes of muskets sounded on the city wall, mixed with the sound of wind when some bows and arrows were fired. Because they were condescending, the foreign archers under the city wall were quickly suppressed.
But at this time, the foreign soldiers had already climbed up the city wall.
A foreign soldier wearing vine armor jumped up with a knife.
Before he could stabilize his body, three or four spear guns stabbed up.
The vine armor did not block the sharp spearhead. The soldier had a ferocious face and waved his sword in his hand.
Several rural soldiers pulled their spears and stabbed forward, and gradually the foreign soldiers were no longer in movement.
But before the villagers could breathe a sigh of relief, another foreign soldier rushed up.
Several rural soldiers had no time to collect their spears and watched the foreign soldiers jump into the camp.
The foreign soldier chopped off a village soldier's hand with a knife. The village soldier screamed and fell to the ground. The blood spilled from his broken hand splattered on the faces of several other village soldiers.
"Bang!" A flag official held a musket and pointed a gun at the head of the foreign soldier.
"Why are you still stunned? Why don't you hurry up and get me a spear? You will die when the foreigners come up." The flag official cursed and pulled a spear out of the body of the foreign soldiers and threw it to a village soldier.
About twenty or thirty foreign soldiers leaped to the top of the city.
But they were basically killed or picked up by Ming people's spearmen, archers, musketeers.
"Roar, rush to the city." A soldier shouted.
Taking advantage of the fighting in the camp, a car rushed to the city.
As the soldiers yelled, the soldiers present reacted one after another.
The wooden rolling stones fell down one after another.
But at this time, more than one car had arrived at the camp and got off.
The foreign soldiers struggled to block the rapwood and rolling stones rolling down from the city wall with vine shields.
More than a dozen foreign soldiers worked together to hit the village gate with the rushing wood on the chariot.
"Dong, dun, dun"
The soldiers shouted in unison in the words of the rushing wood, hitting the gate with the rushing wood in the chariot, making loud noises.
Mossin saw that his foreign soldiers had already reached the city and according to this method of fighting, there was no problem in breaking the camp today, and he couldn't help laughing.
"Hurry up, rush up to me by the door-stop cart." The Ming soldiers guarding the village gate hurriedly transferred a few door-stop carts, preparing to use this knife cart to block the foreign soldiers after the gate was broken.
"Sir, the car has arrived at the foot of the city." In a panic, a flag official reported in panic.
The Qianhai garrison general Li Shi looked angry. In just a few cups of tea, the foreign soldiers rushed to the camp.
If the foreign troops were allowed to attack the city so easily, what qualifications would the generals of Pinghai Camp have to meet their colleagues in the Nainong defenders?
The angry Li Shi kicked down a musketeer who was blocking the road.
The pot of gunpowder held in the musketman's hand also spread all over the floor.
Li Shi couldn't help gritting his teeth as he looked at the black powder that was sprinkled all over the ground.
He walked straight to a stone cannon position and scattered a barrel of black gunpowder under the city.
"Let me listen to it and sprinkle all the black gunpowder into the village." Li Shi shouted.
As the general spoke, the soldiers and gunners present lifted the gunpowder barrels and poured the black gunpowder in the barrel towards the rushing car.
The soldiers who were still attacking under the camp were confused and saw countless black powders falling on their faces and on their vine armor.
The soldiers who were pushing the cart and hitting the wood didn't care at first, but as more and more powder was sprinkled around, there were still a smell of saltpeter sulfur.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Many soldiers were so surprised that they couldn't open their eyes by the sudden black smoke.
"It's gunpowder, run quickly." Several leaders of the fans finally reacted, shouting and ran away.
"Ignite." With Li Shi's order, several torches were thrown down.
In an instant, a fire dragon emerged from the camp.
"boom!"
The gunpowder below the camp was ignited instantly, and a fire dragon formed in an instant, devouring all the foreign soldiers and chariots under the camp.
Mosin looked at the scene in disbelief.
Just now, he was complacent and thought that the city was broken.
But in the blink of an eye, there was a sea of fire under the camp. Within five meters of the city wall, all the foreign soldiers were swallowed by flames.
Such a rapid fire scared the soldiers behind him and did not dare to rush forward.
For a moment, the camp became Shura hell.
Originally, the vine armor on the foreign soldiers was a flammable object, and the black gunpowder was quickly ignited.
The foreign soldiers turned directly into firemen and ran around.
Some foreign soldiers who climbed to the ladder saw the fire behind and wanted to kill him, but were blocked by the Ming army. They could not stand the scorching fire under the city. They fell down and let out screams.
"Hurry up and give me water." The officers and soldiers above did not cheer.
A large amount of water that had already accumulated under the city was handed over by buckets.
The water has long been boiled by the villagers, with the purpose of resisting foreigners' attacks on the village, but unexpectedly it came in handy at this time.
Black gunpowder can be ignited quickly, but it cannot continue to burn, and it will disappear after it is burned.
The Ming army officers and soldiers handed over buckets of water and poured it down, trying to put out the fire.
It was rainy and the weather was wet.
