Chapter 142
The Ming army sentry on the fence was still shouting for the Fo Lang machine gun to aim at the shield vehicle and fire at it.

After several rounds of artillery fire, the leather covering the shield cart was broken, revealing the iron sheet wrapped inside. This made the defenders on the fence cry out in despair. They could only watch the wheelbarrow behind the shield cart filled with soil. , poured into the trench little by little.

"Why is it so thick? If you keep aiming and hitting me, I won't believe it."

On the fence, the Ming army fired firearms at the shield chariot and the Jianlu soldiers behind them, and the Jianlu soldiers were not idle either.

The armored men in cotton armor who were hiding behind the shield cart also took up bows and shot arrows. The bowstrings sounded one after another, and the first wave of two to three hundred bows and arrows shot towards the crenellations on the fence. The Jurchens are originally a people of fishing and hunting, and archery is what they are best at. With great effort, accuracy is not a problem.

The Ming army on the fence originally aimed and shot at the Jianlu at the crenel, but these Jianlu's bows and arrows were extremely accurate. In an instant, 30 people were shot, and screams came one after another.

The Ming army sentry on the fence was looking at the shield car at this time, shouting urgently to fire the cannon.

Now in the blink of an eye, he saw an arrow coming towards him. Suddenly, the spirit of death was in full swing. He couldn't dodge, so he tried his best to deflect to the right. The arrow passed through his neck, but it hit the guard behind him. Although he was blocked by cotton armor, , but was also shot into the chest by an arrow, and blood spurted out.

Seeing the guards asking for help, the sentry quickly called for help, and then cautiously continued to look at the shield car and the Jianlu soldiers who were setting up their bows and shooting arrows.

There were arrows that kept hitting the fence, making clanking noises, and arrows that crossed the fence and hit the open space behind the fence. Many auxiliary soldiers carrying gunpowder and arrows couldn't dodge and fell to the ground, screaming in pain.

The sound of firearms firing and smoke could not be heard from the fence. The teams at each sentry were instructing the soldiers of each team to use firearms and artillery, aim and shoot at the prisoners from the crenellations of the fence, and do not give them a chance to set up their bows and shoot arrows.

"Watch the arrows and don't stay too long at the crenel."

The sentry officers at various posts around the fence were shouting one after another, asking the soldiers to avoid being shot. But at this moment, the builders were desperately using a cart to pour earth into the trench. Now, Already half filled.

"Damn it, why are you going so fast? Don't stop shooting."

"Boss, no way, we should go out and fight. If this continues, Jianlu will be pushed under the fence sooner or later."

Seeing that more than half of the trench had been filled, the sentry officer looked back at the general's servants who were riding in formation.

"Hurry, hurry, we will make these thieves look good."

The servants in formation were all built by He Shixian and You Shigong with a lot of money. The 50 people who had gone out to fight in the city were also among them. Not only were they wearing armor, but even the horses were armored. They were all people who dared to charge to the death.

"The Lord Commander said that it takes a thousand days to raise an army but only a short time. Although he couldn't go, he still let us go out so that Jianlu could see how powerful we are. In addition, the Lord Commander did not hesitate to reward us. This time we go to battle and the reward for killing the enemy will be doubled. times, if you die in war, the pension will be three times."

The person speaking was none other than Baihu Hexiong, who had led his elite servants out of the city to fight and repel Jianlu's cavalry.

He was originally He Shixian's nephew. In the late Ming Dynasty, it was very common for generals to bring their "kin" to serve in the army, and the servants of the general's "kin" also performed relatively bravely in battle.

He Shixian's army was no exception. As He Shixian's nephew, He Xiong fought bravely and was not afraid of death. Therefore, the army admired him a lot. Now that he saw him saying that He Shixian had given such a generous reward, he immediately shouted that he would die in the service of the Commander-in-Chief. Something like that.

Seeing that morale had improved, He Xiong felt satisfied and nodded to the whistle on the fence. Then the camp gate of the fence slowly opened, the trumpet sounded, and auxiliary soldiers immediately went out with shields to move the horses under the gate.

Seeing that he was well prepared, he immediately kicked the horse in the belly and rushed out at the same pace.

At this time, the Jianlu outside the city were still filling the trenches under the cover of shield vehicles. Seeing the camp door open, they never expected that the Ming army would dare to come out at this time.

A commanding officer with a white flag in his armor knew the consequences of the cavalry charge. When he saw the situation, he shouted:

"Quickly, put the shield vehicles in a row without leaving any gaps."

But when these shield vehicles were manufactured, their flexibility was sacrificed in order to improve defense. It would be fine if they were pushed forward and backward, but now it is still difficult for them to keep them side by side without leaving any gaps.

The cavalry led by He Xiong did not give them a chance. Seeing that the shield chariots were still moving left and right, preparing to form a row, he immediately saw the opportunity and shouted:
"Come! Kill Jianlu and get the reward."

As he said that, he waved his horsewhip fiercely and rushed towards the gap between the shield cars.

At this time, the red and white shield-bearing soldiers covering behind the shield car saw this and stepped forward one after another without fear of their lives. They lined up and blocked the gaps to prevent the cavalry from rushing over. The armored men at the rear also set up their bows and shot arrows, thinking He wanted to kill He Xiong and others.

Originally, on the flat ground, if the shield-holding infantry dared to block the cavalry like this, especially if the heavy cavalry charged, they would be seeking death, which was a taboo in the army.This is possible because the impact of the heavy cavalry is enough to overwhelm them, but now that there is a shield car as a cover, and the narrow terrain between the gaps undoubtedly limits the impact of the cavalry.When He Xiong saw this, he also screamed secretly. He didn't expect the Jianlu soldiers to be so desperate. However, there was only a hundred or so steps between the camp gate and the shield chariot. They couldn't stop when they charged. They could only look for the gap and charge forward.

The Ming army on the fence also saw that Jianlu wanted to shoot arrows to slow down He Xiong and others, and also wanted to use artillery to attack the armored men behind the shield car who were about to shoot arrows, denying them a chance to shoot.

Then there were shouts and shouts on the fence, the roar of Franco's machine guns, the orders of the sentry, and the commands of the commanders of each team.

Behind the shield car, too, under the order of Jia La Shenling, each Niulu Ezhen (Zuo Ling) brought their respective Niulu Baya La soldiers to form an array to block the gap.

"boom"

Under the impact of the armored cavalry, the Baiya soldier at the front was knocked to the ground in an instant. Before he could shout, he was trampled by the cavalry behind him. Before the blood in his belly could gush out, he fell to the ground. Lost consciousness.

Not only him, but the other Baya soldiers in front were no exception. They were knocked to the ground one after another, but the impact became weaker the farther back they went. The Baya soldiers behind slowed down and went up with their swords, wearing armor behind them. Under the supervision of Niulu Ezhen, the people set up their bows and shot arrows, hoping to shoot He Xiong and others off their horses.

He Xiong rushed to the front and knocked down the Baya soldiers at the front with one horse. He finally rushed through the gap and reached the back of the shield car. He looked at the Baya soldiers who were coming up with swords and the armored men who were bending their bows to shoot. , he knew that he must not stop, otherwise he would be shot to death by random arrows, and the servants behind him would not be able to rush in.

So he kicked the horse's belly violently, causing the horse to scream in pain and rush forward faster. This rush left space for the servants charging behind, and more people rushed in through the gap.

There were even some servants who were stuck in the back. Seeing the narrow gap in front and fearing being trapped, they immediately rode to the front of the shield cart, stepped on the horse's back and jumped to the top of the shield cart, jumped off, and started fighting with the Jianlu soldiers.

"Kill, kill"

Two Baya soldiers who were about to kill the servants on horseback with knives were suddenly hit by darkness. One of the servants jumped down from the top of the shield cart, knocking them to the ground. An armored man behind them saw this and Immediately he drew a bow and shot an arrow, and an arrow hit him in the back. Thanks to the double armor of cotton and iron, he was safe.

Then two more servants jumped down. One of them rushed towards the armored man who was shooting arrows. They struggled with each other. The servant had no time to use his knife, so he grabbed the armored man's neck with both hands and strangled him hard. The armored man's eyes were ferocious. , his hands fluttered in an attempt to struggle, but to no avail, his eyes gradually began to bleed, and he died of suffocation.

Another servant rushed towards Baya Labing who was about to get up, giving the servant who was shot a chance to get up. The servant who was hit by the arrow struggled to get up, pierced the arrow in the cotton armor with his hand, and watched as he was knocked down Just as Baya Labing was about to get up, he let out a ferocious laugh and walked away with a knife.

The people sent to attack the city this time were weak soldiers who lured the Ming army out of the city. Most of them were armored men, and there were only a few Bagala soldiers.

Now that the Ming army is so brave, their morale is gradually wavering. However, Chief Jia La Shen knows that Amin has not ordered a retreat yet, so he must not retreat.

They could only force each Niulu Erzhen to lead the remaining Baya soldiers and armored men to rush forward to resist the Ming army and buy time.When He Xiong and others saw that their own people were gradually catching up, their morale increased greatly. They were not afraid when they saw the Jianlu soldiers rushing up, and followed the other servants to meet them.

"Follow me to kill the thief!"

The two sides collided and immediately became a mass.

Both teams were elite soldiers, and they were shouting and screaming one after another.

He Xiong took the lead and rushed forward. The two servants just followed behind and loaded up a Niu Lu'erzhen and four red Baya soldiers. The Niu Lu'erzhen didn't panic when he saw He Xiong rushing towards him, and he pulled out his sword smoothly. The bow shot an arrow at He Xiong's face. He Xiong had no time to dodge, so he had to lower his head to dodge.

"clang"

An arrow hit his armor, making his scalp numb and his head buzzing.Seeing that he missed the shot, Na Euzhen was not angry. He threw away his bow and arrow and dodged to the left to avoid He Xiong's charge on horseback.

A Baya soldier behind was unable to dodge and was knocked away by the horses of He Xiong and others. He Xiong saw that the situation was slightly delayed and waved the reins, preparing to turn the horse around and continue charging, but suddenly a figure rushed up from the right. , he couldn't dodge and was hugged by the man and pulled off the horse.

It turned out to be another Hong Baya soldier. Upon seeing this, the servants following He Xiong dismounted their horses and wanted to go to the rescue, but were blocked by the other two Hong Baya soldiers. Gu Shan'erzhen took this opportunity to slow down. Slowly walked towards He Xiong.

He Xiong was thrown to the ground by the man, and when he was about to get up, he found that he was suppressed by the red soldier. One hand clamped down on his neck, and the other stretched out to his waist. Draw the knife and stab yourself.

"You dare!"

Seeing that Gushan Ezhenya was walking towards him, He Xiong shouted and was about to get up and break away.
