Chapter 161 Fighting the enemy desperately
The "dong dong dong" city gate impact accompanied by the overwhelming moan of the city gate, which made all the defenders who heard this sound feel heavy in their hearts. They know what fate will be waiting for them once the city gate is broken?
Their troops are relatively less powerful, and now they can defend themselves by relying on the strong city defense. Once the city gate is broken, the difference in number of people will make them feel desperate, not to mention that there are still many people who do not have rich combat experience in it.
However, at this moment, he heard a rumbling explosion. The defenders on the city were shocked when they heard the sound. When they looked down, they saw a fire at the city gate. After tax, they saw that the soldiers who were originally following the Chongcheng car had already been corpses everywhere. Even the Chongcheng car itself was blown into pieces and completely lost its combat function.
At the same time, the defenders quickly filled the city gate hole with stones and other objects, completely blocking the city gate. At this time, even if the intact city-torn cars were allowed to crash at will, it would have nothing to do.
Seeing this thrilling scene, Yu Zhenlong, Liu Zhaolin and others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They raised their heads and happened to see Ma Mingfeng with a smile on their faces. They immediately understood that the explosion sound and firelight at the city gate must have something to do with Ma Mingfeng. They were all senior generals of the Minzhuang Camp. After a moment of thinking, they understood that the explosion sound and firelight must have come from the weapon grenade developed by Ma Mingfeng.
"I really didn't expect this grenade to have such a function. The governor is so smart that he has created a new tactic. Following him, he can always bring surprises."
Both Yu Zhenlong and Liu Zhaolin were very happy. As for Yue Qijie, he was even more shocked. He had never seen such a powerful "Sky Thunder" before, and he never expected that this weapon could be used to blow up the siege car. His nephew's performance was really amazing.
The general Liu Zongmin, who was under the city, was so angry that he jumped up. Seeing that he had a chance to win, he didn't expect that he would be destroyed. Now that this is the case, the cave in the city gate has been completely blocked, and it is almost impossible to attack the city from here.
However, Liu Zongmin did not give up, but ordered the soldiers to step up their attacks. Because of the large number of their own people, Liu Zongmin divided the soldiers into three shifts and attacked them day and night, causing the opponent to be exhausted and he looked for opportunities to attack the city.
I have to say that this is an extremely tricky method. The soldiers guarding the city knew that the other party had not concentrated all their troops to attack the city, but because the number of people siege was relatively small, they could only grit their teeth and defend the city with all their might.
In this way, the defending city must stick to the situation without resting day and night, while the siege can take three shifts to the rest. As long as a few days are spent, the defending city will definitely be difficult to support.
Originally, if the enemy was just one city gate, Ma Mingfeng could have his subordinates take turns to fight, but within a day, the siege troops at the five city gates did this, trying to win by exhausting the enemy's plan, which brought great tests to the defenders.
If this continues, the defending city will probably not last for a few days.
So Ma Mingfeng summoned many officials to discuss countermeasures.
However, after discussing these civil and military generals and officials, there was never a real idea that could be taken out. They were just two ways to escape and rescue soldiers. Some even foolishly said that they would take the initiative and fight against the other party.
You should know that the enemy has surrounded Kaifeng City like an iron barrel, and there are two squads of soldiers resting. In this case, if these tired troops on their side take the initiative to go out of the city to fight, what is the difference between seeking death?
At the end, Zhang Shenghe suddenly spoke, "For the sake of the current plan, I'm afraid there is only one way to have a slight hope of breaking the deadlock, that is, to make up our minds and fight against the bandits to lose both sides, or even fight to the death. Only by hurting the other party can they feel scared. As long as the other party's morale is turbulent, we have a chance to win, otherwise we will face a dead end."
Ma Mingfeng felt very heavy when he heard this. If life was really exchanged for life, I really don’t know how many people could survive in this city in the future?
But Ma Mingfeng knew that this was their only way out at present. The more heroic the soldiers guarding the city performed, the greater the damage they caused to the enemy, and the more chance they would have to escape.
So Ma Mingfeng ordered the city gate guards to try their best to mobilize soldiers, especially those who were seriously injured and basically couldn't take care of themselves for the rest of their lives. Not only that, they would also be a drag on their family.
If people like this are mobilized to fight to the death, they will definitely shock the other party and inspire their morale.
Of course, because it is better to live than to die well. Even if you are seriously injured, most people are unwilling to die just like this, so the key depends on how they mobilize.
Ma Mingfeng's mobilization was to go to the city to express his views to the injured soldiers: "Brothers, I believe you have all seen that the bandits will not die of death. Now they are even more delusional to use the trick of exhausting the enemy to deal with us. We cannot rest, but they can rest like this. If this continues, within a few days, we will probably all be dragged to death by them. In this case, we can only make up our minds and fight the enemy to the death to the death to the enemy. Brothers, behind us is our home, and we have no choice but to retreat. In this case, we need the warriors who are ready to die, use our own lives to fight the other party's lives, and even one person will try to mobilize the other party's lives. Only when they are hurt will they develop a desire to retreat."
At this moment, a soldier sat on the ground and said loudly: "Reporting to the Lord, the villain is willing to sacrifice his life for the country. Anyway, the villain's legs are gone, or they are also a waste. But the villain is now sitting smart on the head of the city. Even if he wants to fight his life, there is no way to take away the life of the thief army. The villain watched the robes of the past beads being killed one by one by one. He long wanted to replace them with death, but he hated that I didn't have such a chance at all..."
Ma Mingfeng looked at the soldier, and a trace of unbearance flashed in his heart. He wanted to say something but did not say it. He felt that even if the other party was seriously injured, living was still the right person, and he should not instigate him to die.
Only when an enemy soldier attacked the city and rushed towards Ma Mingfeng.
Ma Mingfeng pulled the man, then took a grenade, pulled the ring open, put it into the enemy soldier, and then threw the enemy soldier under the city.
Only a sound of explosion was heard, and the enemy soldier had already been blown into a pile of minced meat. Next to the enemy soldier, there were also three or four corpses of enemy soldiers lying...
At this time, the soldier sitting on the ground suddenly understood what was going on. He opened his eyes like a sudden realization, and then said with a smile: "I, Cui Saner, have already done this. I didn't expect to take away a few soldiers from the thief army. Haha, it's worth my death. My lord, I know you're in a difficult situation and can't bear to watch the lord die. But it's worth my lord to die like this. I have no regrets. I just want the lord to help take care of the old mother and wife and children in the family."
Ma Mingfeng looked with tears in his eyes and saluted respectfully at the soldier: "You are the hero of the Ming Dynasty. I here promise you that as long as I have a breath, you will definitely have a place for your family to live in a place, have no worries about food and clothing, and let your children enter school for free. I can also guarantee that you will be given a piece of land to your family and be exempt from rent and tax for life. If you violate this oath, I will die without a burial place and will never be reborn!"
"Haha, sir, it's enough to have you. The first time a villain saw an adult was in the training ground of Minzhuang Camp. At that time, the villain was late, and the adult punished the villain to run around. Not only the villain, but even the instructors went to run around together. From then on, the villain knew that the adult was a good official. On the day when the villain followed the adults to fight, he knew that the adults would never leave first by himself at any time, and always led the army to cut off the rear. The villain knew that it was the adults to protect the villain. But today was different from the past. Please allow the villain to protect the adults once."
After saying that, the soldier named Cui San took a grenade, struggled to come to the battlement, pulled the ring open, and then rushed towards an enemy soldier who was about to climb to the top of the city, and fell to the city with him.
