Chapter 176 Offense and defense (fifteen)
After paying hundreds of losses, the soldiers of the Shang family climbed up the city again. This time, the soldiers who climbed to the top of the family handed a shield, and they blocked the shield above their heads and climbed up desperately.
With the shield blocked, the shooting of our soldiers when they climbed the city was effectively reduced. Seeing this, the Taiping Army on the city cut bags of lime and sprinkled them down the city. A piece of white mist was suddenly under the city. The soldiers with shields on their heads were not affected by lime, but their companions were all choked by lime. Many Qing soldiers' eyes were choked by lime. They reached out to rub them, but the more they rubbed their eyes, the more they felt the more painful it was. The lime entered the human eyes, and it was gone, but it was already there. Once the tears came out, it suddenly became boiling, making the Qing soldiers cry and shout. Finally, the Qing soldiers could not stand the lime scattered from the city jumped off the ladder. The Qing soldiers who had not had time to climb below turned around and retreated, but were quickly driven back. However, it was Qin Guocheng, the chief of the army, led his personal soldier, Goshha, to supervise the battle.
"Those who retreat will be killed!"
"If you attack, no one is allowed to retreat!"
Looking at the city, Qin Guocheng was furious and heartbroken. These soldiers were not only the heart of King Pingnan, but also the heart of Qin Guocheng. You must know that every soldier was a soldier he personally selected from the flag. Now he has ruined so many in Xinhui City. How can he not let his heart bleed?
Under Qin Guocheng's supervision, our soldiers and the flag soldiers subconsciously turned around and climbed the city again. Every second, countless lives passed away on the city and under the city walls. Under the city wall, more and more corpses were accumulated. Both sides were red in their eyes, and even the green camps were red in their eyes, and they climbed up the ladder without hesitation.
"You guys go and bump into the door!"
Seeing that Pancheng was unable to break through for a long time, Qin Guocheng called his personal soldier Goshha with a blood-colored face.
"twitter!"
The Geshha of Qin was not wearing cotton armor, but real iron armor. They were all fierce and fearless Liaodong athletes. They rushed towards the city gate, except for a few cars that crashed into the city gate. The others actually rushed directly into the city wall. After hitting back and forth several times, a large pit appeared on the city wall.
There were more and more pits that were trapped in the city walls. The Taiping Army on the city learned to attack them with boiling oil just now, but they could not help with these iron armored men wearing several layers of heavy armor. They were not afraid of boiling oil or fire. Except for a few iron armored soldiers who were scalded, the other iron armored soldiers did not even hide. However, the grass on the ground was scalded yellow, and the rockets shot on them and immediately burned. However, the fire was limited and could not threaten the iron armored soldiers.
Dozens of iron-armored soldiers pressed over hundreds of battalions and kept hitting the city gates and walls. The rest of the battalions took out shovels hidden on the shield chariot under the command of the officers and dug hard at the base of the city wall, intending to hollow out the city wall, and then bury gunpowder to blow the city walls down.
The cave in the city gate is the dead corner of the defenders. The Taiping Army on the city could not see them except for poking out his head and looking at them. However, the Qing archers who were under the formation were very vicious. They picked up those Taiping Army who were protruding their heads and were shot to death for more than a dozen times, the Taiping Army no longer dared to poke out his head and check the Qing soldiers on the dead corners.
"If this continues, the city will be hollowed out by them sooner or later!"
Zhou Shixiang was so anxious that he turned around. He saw a few long large-stage stones not far away. He thought about it and shouted, leading more than a dozen personal soldiers to carry the long large-stage stones.
The long-step stone was not only long, but also heavier, a piece weighing seven or eight hundred kilograms. It was extremely difficult for a dozen big men to carry it. More than a dozen young and strong men came to help. Everyone worked together to slowly lift the long-step stone to the city wall, shouted, lifted it over their heads, and then smashed it towards the Qing soldiers below.
The big stone fell from the sky, and with a "thump", the iron-armored soldiers were smashed directly before they could react. Under the feldstone, there were countless people hit, but there were flesh and blood on all sides, with a piece of blood and hands and feet exposed, and blood and white sweat poured out from under the stone, feeling very disgusting.
One move worked, Zhou Shixiang hurriedly asked the soldiers to move another one. This time he went to the south slightly, and dozens of green camp soldiers gathered below that were digging hard. A tired battalion soldier looked up and looked up, and suddenly lost his expression. He screamed. The battalion soldiers stopped and looked up together. Before they could blink, a large stone slab had already been smashed. Except for seven or eight who were running fast, the other battalion soldiers were hit, and like the iron armored soldiers before, they were smashed to pieces and could not die again.
The big stone slabs that fell on the top of the city were so scared that the iron-armored soldiers and battalions who were poaching the corners no longer dared to stay under the city gate, and they all screamed and retreated.
At this time, a loud drum sound came from the Qing army camp in the rear, but Shang Kexi saw in the Qianli Miles mirror that the siege had not improved for a long time, and ordered the drums to enhance the power of the siege soldiers.
The Taiping Army's resistance on the top of the city was getting more and more intense. Both sides were coming and going, and guns sounded from time to time at the marching gate, but not only guns, but also arrows were shot down.
Under the city, the Qing army's arrow branches were also shot towards the city like rain. Some Qing soldiers who shot well could even shoot arrows through small holes under the squadron, causing certain damage to the Taiping Army gunners hiding behind.
A gunman in the Guards camp reloaded the medicine just after he had shot a gun. Before he could withdraw the gun barrel, six or seven sharp arrows shot at him immediately. He was shot on his left face, right chest and neck, and he screamed and rushed backwards. The gunmen beside him saw that any of them dared to stand up and load medicine, squat there carefully. After loading the medicine, they had to observe it around and confirm that there was no danger after the emergence. Then they stood up and didn't look at it. They shot a gun under the city, and then quickly shrank down. The speed was so fast that even the Qing army's archers were difficult to capture. So later, some Qing army archers had only opened their bows and pulled the strings, but did not shoot, and stared at the chassis, and the Taiping Army did not shoot. In this way, they shot more than a dozen unlucky Guards gunmen, but they also scared the gunmen in the Guards camp so that they did not dare to look up. As well, the sound of the muskets on the city became more and more scattered.
Under the city gate, the remaining iron-armored soldiers were still hitting the city gate. There were about a dozen iron-armored soldiers and more than 30 battalions of soldiers in the gate. The Taiping Army's stone slab could not hit them, and the sky-shaking thunder was used up. Seeing that the Taiping Army had no choice but to deal with them, the Qing soldiers hit the city gate unscrupulously, causing the posts and stones behind the city gate to loosen. The Taiping Army behind the gate was so scared that they quickly summoned the young and strong people, and rushed to block the truth.
