Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 250 Night Battle
The temporary camp of the captive soldiers is not the main camp on the mountainside, but at the foot of the mountain closer to Haizhou City. The Fran cannon can't hit here, so the captive soldiers think this distance is safe.

But it wasn't safe enough for the General Cannon. It was the General Cannon that Yang Chao used to bombard them that night.

Yang Chao had never used it for the past few days, causing the captive soldiers to make a misjudgment, and placed the forward camp too close, and was shelled as a result.

But obviously they didn't lose many people. This kind of general cannon is slow to reload, and it doesn't have much density for defending the city. Yang Chao thinks it's not as good as the bird gun.

But this cannon also strengthened the soldiers' determination, that is to fight!
Turg didn't know whether to thank the cannon or to curse. Although the cannon didn't hit him, it made him very embarrassed. Surrounded by his guards, he ran towards the camp on the mountain.

"Kill the scholar, kill them all, kill them all!"

While fleeing, he gave orders to his subordinates.

Song Lian lay on the crenel in despair, watching the captive soldiers flustered, and the tents were withdrawn, but some captive soldiers pressed a few literati to the river, then raised their knives and fell, their heads rolled to one side, and their bodies fell to the ground. He was frightened for no reason, as if he was among those people.

Song Lian felt that he had lost all his strength, but at the same time, he felt lucky that he did not escape with Kochi Prefecture. Those who escaped to survive died, while those who stayed behind lived to survive.

After climbing for a long time, Song Lian felt that he had some strength, and walked down the city in a daze, ignoring Yang Chao.

Yang Chao couldn't let go of the defenses at the top of the city, but he had no choice but to deploy urgently.

There was no need to do this at first, and I planned to delay for a day, and tomorrow I will be fighting fiercely with the captive soldiers.

But when the captive soldiers were fired, it was no wonder they were not angry. The captive soldiers would probably come to attack the city soon, and it was getting late, so the anger of the captive soldiers might make them attack overnight.

Turge did unify his thoughts. In the big camp, he found a reason to get angry and lost his temper. His subordinates Baya Lazhangjing and Mongolia Baylor dared not say a word.

In the end, the whole army was ordered to attack the city overnight, and all the Mongols were required to dispatch to climb the city wall to attract the Ming army. Then the three Baya Lathong Zhangjing took the opportunity to suddenly kick the city and break through Haizhou in one go.

Yang Chao didn't go down the city wall after eating in the city.

It was already dark, and the captive soldiers arrived as scheduled, and they were going to attack the city overnight.

The sky is not a good one, it has been cloudy for two consecutive days, the air is a bit muggy, and water vapor is gathering, but it hasn't rained yet.

At night like this, there is obviously too little to see, and both sides of the night battle can't see clearly, it can only be a chaotic battle.

Chaotic battles obviously have less impact on the elite soldiers, because they are more active in combat, and mobs are almost useless, so Yang Chao knows that the main force of the battle tonight can only be his own soldiers.

Even Li Rui's servants might not be of much use.

Finally, I heard the trumpets of the captive soldiers. Taking advantage of the limited visibility, I could see rows of captive soldiers setting off with shield carts and ladders.

The last thing is to occupy a position under the city wall, set up the ladder, and immediately attack the city without any hesitation.

The situation is the same as the previous two days, but the scale is even crazier. The captive soldiers set up a whole hundred ladders, and behind these ladders there are more than 100 shield vehicles, consisting of four to five hundred shield vehicles. It seems that the captive soldiers The carpenter is not idle these days.

Yang Chao has long been used to it, quickly distributing troops, and before the [-] attacking points of the captive soldiers, there are still ten people in each of them, only three of them are Yang Chao's elite soldiers, and the rest are Li Rui. An elite servant.

"Order Lu Mo to come to support immediately!"

Even with such an arrangement, Yang Chao was still worried, and ordered Lu Mo, who was on standby today, to fight against the city.

The battle started very quickly. Like the previous few times, it was not so easy for the captive soldiers to gain a foothold.

It was completely dark, and after repelling the captive soldiers' attack, Yang Chao ordered people to light torches on the city wall, but not on the front wall, but on the north wall, so as not to let the captive soldiers' shooters Seeing the Ming army directly on the wall can let the Ming army see the captive soldiers in Dengcheng.

Min Zhuang is also frantically boiling water, pouring it down after it is boiled, regardless of whether someone is climbing the ladder below.

Today, after the captive soldiers attacked the city in an all-round way, they gave up the method of wrapping them in cotton quilts, and let the salt water play a role again, but the speed of boiling water could not keep up with their speed of climbing the city, so they could not stop them from stepping on the city wall.

What really worked was the Ming army on standby behind the city wall, stabbing the captive soldiers as soon as they saw them.

The two armies continued to strangle together, and the corpses were piled up, and it was unknown how many people were killed.

Needless to say, the captive soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the Ming army also suffered a lot of casualties. After the captive soldiers stepped into the city, they had to face ten long spears stabbing at the same time. Even if there is heavy armor, even if the captive soldiers can wear three layers of iron armor, ten spears can't pierce them, and the force of the blow will push them off the city wall.

However, the bravery of the captive soldiers is not something to brag about. Some came up, and after being pierced through their bodies, they even insisted on attacking before they died. Although it did not work every time, there was always one time when their long knives flew on the Ming army. It doesn't matter to Yang Chao's soldiers, but to those servants, they may be injured.

An hour passed, and the battle continued.

Yang Chao didn't know if his soldiers could hold on if they kept fighting like this.

Apart from the personal soldiers, there was Lu Mo's reserve team, and these two reserves were used to replace them when they couldn't stand it.

But Yang Chao still felt that he was too weak, and these people couldn't replace all the 1000 people in front.

"Zhang Dun sent an order to mobilize 1000 armed people from the Western Wall!"

There are less than 1000 people armed with weapons on the west wall. To mobilize [-] people is equivalent to mobilizing more than half of them.

There are no senior officers in these folk villages, they are formed by Yang Chao's captains one by one, and each team leads 100 people.

However, in the past few days, they have organized these people into groups, randomly selected teams, each of them formed ten teams, and made a simple queue connection. Although it was not neat enough, it was barely visible, and they all contact Although the assassination is not powerful enough, it can barely kill. At this time, I can only drive the ducks to the shelves, and I can't care so much.

There are 1 captive soldiers, who have been battle-tested, and I only have more than 500 elites. Such a high-density attack by captive soldiers, but relying on our own soldiers, is unable to withstand it. It is impossible to let these strong people appear on the stage, even though they They may face higher casualties, but they have no choice.

If it were a few days ago, Yang Chao would have hesitated, but now that the psychological barrier has passed, as long as it is a necessary casualty, Yang Chao will accept it without hesitation, but Yang Chao can't ignore it. In the eyes of a real battlefield veteran , life is just a name on the military register.

"Lu Mo, you go and organize the people one by one into one hundred groups. Put one of our people in each group and take them to replace Wang Pu and the others. Remember to replace them one by one, and there must be no confusion for the soldiers to catch them. Chance."

Lu Mo is the head of the banner, he only has three teams under his command, but there are still some independent teams under his command temporarily, so his reserve team has 100 people, but the captive soldiers separated [-] attack points along the city wall, so Yang Chao had to be organized into one hundred groups, and each group had only one veteran of his own on average.

This is already the limit, Wang Pu and the others cannot be allowed to fight forever, it is impossible to last a night wearing heavy armor.

As long as Lu Mo can support these people for an hour, let Wang Pu take a rest and replace them, it will be another new force.

Lu Mo led people to form a group next to the city ladder next to the city wall. After forming a group, he shouted to the veteran leading the group: "Go and replace the first crenel!"

After making up the second one, shout: "You take someone to replace the second crenel."

It took more than an hour just to form the group, and it was already an hour later that Wang Pu was completely replaced.

There was no accident during the replacement process, because the original soldiers were not allowed to withdraw first, but the later soldiers joined the defense first, and after repelling a wave of captive soldiers together, the front soldiers withdrew. After leaving, rest on the spot under the wall on the other side in front of the city, waiting for the next rotation, and it can be considered as support at any time.

Three hours later, it was already midnight, and Song Lian unexpectedly brought someone up to deliver supper.

Although Song Lian hated Yang Chao to the core, he did not disregard the overall situation because of such personal grievances. In this regard, he was much better than the gang of civil servants in Haizhou Zhizhou. Yang Chao even sometimes thought, if Song Lian was Haizhou Zhizhou, will things develop to this point? Will he let himself enter the city as soon as he arrives, so that he won't catch Boluo? If he doesn't catch Boluo, won't it attract so many The soldiers are captured.

But Yang Chao was very pessimistic. He felt that if Song Lian was replaced, he would still refuse to enter the city, but Song Lian was obviously much stronger than Gao Liangming. It was really hard to judge whether such a person was a good person or a bad person.

With the rotation, the situation will be much better. With rotation once every hour, the two groups of soldiers will not be too tired. If the captive soldiers are to be exhausted like this, Yang Chao will be able to accompany them!

Another two hours passed, and in the early hours of the morning, which was the darkest time of the day, the fighting on the city wall continued, but with less intensity, and the attacking posture of the captive soldiers was somewhat passive.

Yang Chao judged in his heart, it seems that the captive soldiers also found that even if it was a night battle, they still didn't take advantage, and they probably wanted to give up.

Yang Chao thought so, but suddenly there was a shout of killing from the place where the west city wall was close to the south city.

By the time Yang Chao received the news, it was already too late, and the captive soldiers unexpectedly attacked from a corner of the west city wall. Not only did they easily grab a foothold from Min Zhuang who was defending here, but they also quickly cleared a large space. When Yang Chao received the news, the captive soldiers had already driven back the people on the west wall to the north, and then mobilized a considerable force to attack the south wall!

After receiving this information, Yang Chao knew immediately that he had once again lost out to the general of the captive soldiers in the battle of wits. Obviously, the opponent's strategy was to attract firepower in the south city, and then mobilize elites to attack from the west city suddenly, catching the Ming army by surprise. They did it!
Yang Chao knew what it meant when the captive soldiers stepped on the city. It meant that tens of thousands of captive soldiers had a foothold. abdomen.

Once all the captive soldiers step on the city, this force will sweep across like a tide and completely submerge Haizhou. Countless innocent people, countless gold, silver and property will be captured by the captive soldiers and become slaves, and the men will work. If they are toyed with by girls and women, their property will be swept away by them, and then it will become the swords, guns, bows and arrows in their hands, and become the nourishment for them to continue to be strong, so that they can rob the whole world next time they enter the customs.

Yang Chao couldn't help feeling, this is war, you had a clear advantage one second, but you were completely at a disadvantage the next second.One second you still have the initiative, the next second you are in a desperate situation.

Desperate!

This word is the portrayal of Haizhou City at this time. Once the captive soldiers occupy the city wall, with the strength in Haizhou City, it is tantamount to being undefended. Therefore, this is the first time that the captive soldiers have successfully stepped on the city, and it may be the last battle!
Definitely!

This is Yang Chao's mentality, he can only put all his eggs in one basket under the desperate situation, he never thought that he was forced to this point, Yang Chao quickly gave the order, without the slightest hesitation, let go and put all his strength into it!
