Chapter 760: People who are not afraid of death 1
Neither the strong soldiers nor the powerful people on the city wall have ever seen such a scene. Although these strong soldiers have heard the sound of cannons when their troops are shooting, it was just a few sounds. When have you ever seen such a formation? It was like there was no end to see the end. The sound of cannons in the same row seemed to make the whole earth tremble. The subsequent explosion made everyone tremble!
Then, many people suddenly felt as if the sky was falling and the earth was cracking. Many people just felt a pain in their bodies, and then there was permanent darkness. Some people felt like they were knocked away by something. Their whole body involuntarily rose into the air and then fell heavily to the ground, either breaking their hands or feet. Of course, they still had a chance to scream. The big similarity between these people was that they heard a huge explosion.
The explosion was deafening, just like the thunder in the sky.
The city wall, which was originally waiting for the battle, was now in chaos. If the enemy rushed over with flesh and blood, perhaps they would have the courage to resist it. However, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty did not rush over directly as they wished, but chose to use artillery to open the way. This was a useful method when attacking the Mu Army. However, three years have passed, the artillery has more equipment and its performance has been improved better.
No one wants to stay in this situation. Even if they have great courage, the premise of this courage is to face the enemy directly. Instead, it is not like this now. The enemies not far away still have no intention of moving. However, the cannons in front of their formation are still roaring, and the sky is full of harsh whistling. Then, there is a huge explosion. Under the explosion, the city wall made of stones is also trembling, and countless stone debris are like rain, and some hit people and will die immediately.
There is a sea of fire above the city wall now. No one dares to pop his head out, and no one dares to stand on the city wall. The ordinary people who escaped first have made them unable to face it. After passing the comfortable and peaceful life, no one is willing to lose their lives in this situation, even if they escape in a very indecent manner.
The people who fled behind the people were ordinary soldiers. They had not fought for a long time. Now, this war has exceeded the kind of war they thought. The courage in front of them may be determined to be bombarded by the Ming artillery to nothing.
In a short time, not many people insisted on the front wall. Even those who insisted on it hugged their heads tightly, curled up in the corner, and then felt the trembling of the earth in fear and the deafening explosions. Although they were still insisting, no one could guarantee whether they could survive in this situation. After all, no one knew whether the next shell would fall on their heads.
The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were still looking at the city trembling in the explosion in the distance, and then waiting for the order to attack. They were not sympathetic to these powerful people. This is the battlefield, and there is no need for sympathy for the enemy on the battlefield. After all, kindness to the enemy is cruel to themselves. Moreover, many of these soldiers were soldiers who had experienced the war with the Komu Army. In the counter-machine war, they were even more cruel. Therefore, the scene in front of them will not shake their hearts at all. If they were ordered to kill the wounded soldiers, they would also raise the long sword in their hands without hesitation.
The shelling lasted for a full quarter of an hour, and in this quarter of an hour, the Ming Dynasty poured out a large number of shells on the powerful city walls. Countless powerful people and soldiers died under the artillery. Even those who were not dead were now brave enough to show their heads.
“Woo…!”
The long horn sounded throughout the battlefield at this time, and the soldiers began to advance towards the front. The soldiers who were walking in the front raised the huge shield in their hands high. At a certain distance, this could very well resist the bow and arrow of the strong man. In the back, they followed the swords and forcibly landed on the city wall. They still had to dare to do this. Behind them, soldiers holding rifles. When the soldiers in the front climbed the city wall, they would provide necessary fire support. The so-called "shooting the birds" means to eliminate those strong men who emerged.
The artillery of the Ming Dynasty has not stopped now, and necessary firepower suppression is needed. After all, in this era of war, the losses to the attacking side are the most severe when siegeing the city.
The sound of the trumpet also attracted the attention of those powerful people. Some people risked their lives to poke their heads out, and saw that the Ming soldiers had already begun to have a prospect, so they passed the news loudly. However, there were still explosions on the city walls, and no one was willing to wait to see what was going on. Some brave people said that they picked up their only weapon and started to fight back. However, the soldiers siege the city were hidden under the huge shields. The bows and arrows could not cause any damage to them. Now the only ones that could cause damage were rolling stones and boiling oil. The rolling stones were not yet at the distance that could be thrown. As for boiling oil, they had already been completely lost under the attack of the Ming artillery.
At this time, those powerful soldiers could only watch the Ming soldiers approaching. Now they have no way to stop their attack.
However, it is still a very difficult battle for siege, and in order to ensure the attack, the soldiers did not forget to blow up the city gate, so as to pose a very effective threat to the powerful people inside.
Although the process was still quite tortuous, the result was now obvious. Although there were many soldiers lost, the city was finally taken down. Although the city wall was already destroyed, it was not a problem for the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. If Gao Qiang wanted to seize this city, it would not be as simple as he imagined.
After Juchang was captured, the road leading to Daqiu in Quanzhou was blocked. Now Zhixili and Juchang have formed a joint attack on Quanzhou. Now Quanzhou can only seek self-protection and dare not send troops easily. Once the troops are sent, Quanzhou City is likely to be attacked by the Ming soldiers from Zhixili. When they go to play, they will also be blocked by the Ming soldiers from Juchang. Once Quanzhou is captured, it will become a joint attack inside.
After resolving the possible threats from all over the state, the Ming soldiers began to station troops in front of Daqiu and acted as an offensive posture, which forced the high-strength soldiers to start to defend nervously without daring to make any moves. Of course, this Daqiu is a big city with high strength. Of course, this military strength and defense are of course extraordinary, and it is not so easy to break.
However, this situation made Gao Qiangren very nervous. After all, I just got the news that Zhixili and Juchang were occupied, which means that there is no way to look forward to reinforcements now. As for whether such troops can defeat the mighty Ming Dynasty, they are still not sure.
However, this battle is about to break out.
During this period, Jiang Lang had already visited the front line. Standing outside the tent, you could see the tall city walls of the big hills and the strong soldiers who were densely packed on the walls and waiting for the battle.
The news of Juchang and Zhixili's occupation was also delivered to Jiang Lang at this time. After reading the battle report in his hand, Jiang Lang focused his eyes on the big hill not far away, and then sighed: "To count it, this big hill is also a city with some history. How should we capture this city without bloodshed?"
"Is the soldiers bloody?"
Deng Yuanjue couldn't help but wonder, looked up and pondered: "Daqiu has 100,000 troops. It seems impossible to make the soldiers surrender completely, right?"
In fact, it is not impossible, it should be considered impossible at all. The surrender of a hundred thousand troops is hard to imagine, unless someone instigates the rebellion.
Jiang Lang smiled faintly and said, "Actually, there is nothing impossible. No matter what, with our troops, the honesty in front of us is not a big problem, so this is the advantage we can rely on. Well, who in our army has the best eloquence? Do you know? Of course among the generals?"
Deng Yuanjue thought about it, then shook his head and said, "I don't know this, but I can ask, what? The adults are planning to send someone to lobby? Is it understandable?"
Jiang Lang shook his head and said, "I'm sure if I can tell you this, but it's worth a try. If you can take down this city without bloodshed, it's more meaningful than using troops to force it to occupy it. Therefore, you have to consider it carefully. First, you have good eloquence, second, you have to have courage, third, you are not afraid of death, because this trip is likely to be a way out!"
Of course, Deng Yuanjue also understood the danger of this and said, "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely choose this well. Even if this powerful man wants to kill him, he must at least take his death as he wants to die and cannot ruin our morale!"
“It’s right!:”
Jiang Lang nodded and turned around and walked inside, then said, "After choosing this person, let him come to see me immediately, and I'll take a look first!"
"I will obey the order!"
