The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 144 Tartar is a Paper Tiger
They have never seen the sandbags piled up by the Ming people, even Xu Fuzuo of the Ming army has never seen it.

Each sandbag is about one meter long and forty to fifty centimeters wide. After being filled with soil, it is estimated to weigh seventy or eighty catties.

The sandbags were placed flat on the ground, five of them were placed side by side, nearly two meters wide, and then stacked left, right and up and down.

The Liao people came back again and again, nearly [-] sandbags, and quickly piled up a sand wall more than two meters thick, two meters high, and two meters wide on the left and right.

They first packed all four hundred sandbags, and then piled them together very quickly.

Li Soltai's cannon fired three rounds, and all the sandbags were piled up.

The distance between the two sides was about 400 meters, and Li Shuitai hit two of the first dozen cannons in the city.

The sand wall was more than two meters thick, and when a cannonball hit it, the shell bounced off immediately and rolled to the ground without any damage at all.

"Go up." Xi Laojing gave an order, and the artillerymen pushed the Hongyi cannon forward, and the artillery fire on the city wall became more intense.

But the cannons of this era really depend on luck to hit them, not to mention that the opponent does not have Hongyi cannons, and the Foliang cannons have a limited range, so they can barely hit here, and they are not very powerful.

With almost no threat at all, the Hongyi cannon was pushed between the two sand walls, and just as the muzzle protruded from the two walls, the cannon body was completely blocked by the sand wall.

In this case, unless the cannon on the opposite side is lucky enough to hit their muzzle, there is nothing they can do about it.

The Liao people were still digging soil to put sandbags in the back, and stepped forward from time to time to continue to build up the sand wall and make it longer.

The cannons above couldn't hit them at all, and they had a great time doing it.

At this time, their sand wall does not need to be two meters thick, and only three sandbags are needed, which is more than one meter thick.

Ding Yi prepared the gunmen to stay behind the sand wall for a while, protecting the artillery.

Just as they continued to push the sand wall, Chidu finally arrived on the top of the city.

"Bastard." Chidu was furious when he saw it. The Ming army was about to build a small castle below, and you haven't responded yet?Wait until they bombard our city gates with Hongyi cannons?
"I kept firing cannons, but it was difficult to hit, and the hit effect was not good." Li Sutai couldn't help it, he didn't have a Hongyi cannon in his hand.

"Slapping like this is useless and a waste of gunpowder." Chi Du was furious: "Gather your soldiers and horses and rush out with me."

Li Shuitai hurriedly said: "There are elites in the Ming army, and the infantry on the west side does not move at all. The lineup is rigorous, just like the Sichuan and Zhejiang armies back then."

"Please think twice."

If Chi Duo didn't drink today, he might be able to listen to persuasion.

Just now when Li Shitai was persuading him at his house, he was drinking and was persuaded. After Li Shitai left, he was annoyed and drank a few more bowls. Now he was a little too drunk.

"Get out." Chi Du pushed Li Shutai away, and said angrily: "What about the Sichuan Army and the Zhejiang Army? Didn't we let Dajin fight to wipe out the entire army?"

"You smart dogs watch on the wall to see how we break up this mob."

He didn't listen to persuasion at all, pushed Li Sutai away, went down the city wall, and immediately summoned his post-golden army of Niulu.

Li Shitai stomped his feet, but he had no choice but to line up the two thousand Han army flags, ready to respond at any time, and ordered the artillery to stop temporarily.

Just when they were preparing to leave the city with troops and horses.

Some house in the city.

Zhao Dashan and Song Fei clapped their hands: "Get ready, get ready, the city is under attack."

The people hiding here got up one after another, then pushed away a pile of hay, and took out a few packages from the ground.

The package was opened, and it was full of armor, hats and helmets of the Houjin Army.

These are the cotton armor and chain armor of the Post-Golden Army that they got after the battle of Xu Dabao that day. They put them on and brought them in, took them off after entering, and now they are putting them on again.

Along with them, there were a few short knives, but no long guns and long knives.

Everyone was dressed neatly, and they looked like a team of post-golden troops.

There are three flags on the back of Song Fei's armor, which is the symbol of Houjin Dadan, and he is considered a petty official.

Boom, at this moment a cannon sounded outside.

Xilao commanded the artillery and fired flat shots.

The cannonball flew past the city wall, scaring the Han army on the city wall. Li Shuitai quickly changed his position, not daring to stay at the city gate. Dare to stay at the city wall above the city gate.

"Heh" the Ming army screamed in unison, unfortunately, it was too high.

"Put down half a finger, lower half a finger, one inch to the right." Xi Laojing stretched out his finger, facing the city wall, and commanded while watching.

The Portuguese artillerymen and several new gunners of the Ming army are cleaning the barrel and charging the gun.

Their purpose is not really to break the city gate, after all, with the cannons of this era, if they want to hit the city gate, most of them depend on luck.

In the task Ding Yi gave them, try to use artillery to scare away the Houjin soldiers and horses guarding both sides of the city gate.

Only two shots were fired, and it really worked. The soldiers and horses guarding the gate of the Han army ran to both sides for fear of being hit.

But immediately, bang, the Jinzhou City Suspension Bridge was lowered.

A large number of post-golden troops rushed out.

The Ming soldiers screamed, and many cavalry were raising their horses.

"It's all there, the first team, the second team, turn to the right, and walk in unison." Xu Wei shouted.

Hush, huh, huh, 240 musketeers and [-] gunshields in the first round of the first division, a team of [-] gunshields and [-] musketeers in the second round, a total of [-] people, turned around very neatly, feet together, aligned step forward.

They moved in unison, and as soon as their footsteps arrived, the rest of the Ming army who watched were dumbfounded.

Xiang Huailai, a member of the Lushun army, is only 19 years old and a local Liao citizen.

He used to belong to Pidao, but was later exchanged by Ding Yi from Chen Jisheng with money and food.

At this time, he was standing in the first row with a gun shield, his eyes were nervously looking ahead, his ears were pricked up, as if he was listening intently.

He went to the island in June, first half trained and half worked, and officially joined Ding Yi's army in August.

On the first day of joining Ding Yi's army, he chose to stand in the first row under the instruction of the instructor.

Because if the first row survives, he can be promoted and make a fortune, and give his sister a good life.

My younger sister took a fancy to a beautiful little pearl hairpin from the Military and Civilian Service Center, but he has no money to buy it now.

After this battle is over, if I want to survive, I should be able to buy it.

"Don't panic, Xiao Xiang, pay attention to your movements and keep up with the rhythm." Just as he was thinking wildly, a veteran behind him reminded him.

In Xu Wei's game, two-thirds were veterans from Xu Dabao and Lushun, and one-third were recruits from the Liao people.

Veteran Lao Fei looked at Huailai a little panicked, and reminded him from behind.

"Don't panic, just a little excited." Xiang Huailai grinned.

"Just follow the orders and do it. Tartars are paper tigers. They die as soon as they are stabbed." Old Fei laughed.

"Ha!" There was a burst of laughter from the crowd.

"Don't talk, don't make a lot of noise." A general flag level sternly shouted: "Be careful not to hear the order."

The crowd suddenly became solemn, and Xiang Huailai continued to prick up his ears, flashing the orders he usually heard in training over and over again in his mind.

Their formation quickly bypassed the artillery formation and emerged from the left side of the artillery position.

There are more than 240 people in the whole formation, 40 people in the front row, a total of six rows, the first three rows of spear and shield soldiers, and the last three rows of gunmen.

The Chidu on the opposite side saw that the Ming army was inviting a battle?Of course I, Da Jin, can't be cowardly.

He immediately laughed and drove the cavalry to the right, exactly in the same direction as Xu Wei.

"Ming dog wants to use infantry to fight my Dajin in the field? Hahaha, after Hunhe, it is rare to encounter strong soldiers from the Ming army. We should teach them a good lesson."

"Boys, follow me and kill Minggou."

Hou Jinbing yelled and rushed over with a ferocious face.
