"This damn thing still works."
Seeing that the siege momentum of the officers and soldiers was weakening, Yang Fan grinned.
Ten Thousand Enemies is a new type of firearm developed by the Tiger Banner Weaponry Factory. Each combat division does not have much equipment. Because Yongning City is close to the Inner Great Wall, it is easy to become the first target for the army to attack when they cross the Inner Great Wall. The First Battle Division So he left some of the ten thousand enemies in the garrison of Yongning City.
The Tiger-Character Banner developed by the Tiger-Character Banner made its first appearance on the battlefield between the Tiger-Character Banner and the government army when the enemy was defeated by tens of thousands of people.
The officers and soldiers suffered heavy losses from ten thousand enemies.
However, the generals among the officers and soldiers were not fools who did not know how to adapt. They quickly discovered the weakness of the enemy with ten thousand people, and immediately ordered the officers and soldiers attacking the city to spread out and not get too close.
Although some officers and soldiers will still be injured by thousands of enemies, the number of injured officers and soldiers has become smaller.
Soon, the officers and soldiers continued to climb up the city wall through the ladders.
"Quick, continue to use ten thousand enemies to throw the enemies on the ladder." Seeing that the momentum of the officers and soldiers' attack on the city was increasing again, Yang Fan immediately called on the guards on the city wall to throw ten thousand enemies under the city wall.
However, for a long time, the enemy of ten thousand people did not throw down the city wall.
"Captain, there are no more ten thousand enemies." A guard standing next to the basket containing ten thousand enemies said to Yang Fan.
When Yang Fan heard this, his eyes widened and he said: "You just threw away so many fucking enemies with ten thousand enemies? I don't know how to use it sparingly."
The scolded guard looked at Yang Fan innocently.
"Okay, if you don't have it, there won't be any. Let's hit it with a fire gun!"
Yang Fan knew that the number of 10,000 enemies left in Yongning City was limited, so he divided some of the guards on other walls. He could leave dozens of 10,000 enemies on his side, which was not too few.
It's a pity that we didn't prepare more such useful things, otherwise we would be more confident in defending the city.
boom!
Without ten thousand enemies, Yang Fan raised the musket in his hand and hit an officer and soldier on the ladder. But before he could follow him back, an arrow was shot towards his face.
In a hurry, he ducked back, and the arrow shot past his shoulder, tearing off a piece of clothing on his shoulder and leaving a bloody mark on the skin inside.
Although he missed the shot, Yang Fan still broke into a cold sweat.
If he had just moved a little slower, he would have gone to Huangquan Road to report.
"Captain, the officers and soldiers are coming up." A guard on the city wall shouted next to Yang Fan.
Yang Fan looked over quickly.
He found that not far from him, two officers and soldiers holding shields jumped over the city wall, and there were officers and soldiers behind them who were climbing up the city wall.
He didn't bother to load the gun in his hand, and directly hung the bayonet on the mouth of the gun, shouting: "Come a few people, follow me and drive the enemy down."
With that said, he picked up the gun and rushed forward.
Several officers and soldiers in front of him had already stabbed the officers and soldiers who climbed up the city wall with their spears.
The officers and soldiers who can rush to the front are the most courageous soldiers in the army. These people are more fierce and more powerful than ordinary soldiers.
Facing the defenders who rushed towards the city wall, they were not afraid. Instead, they rushed over with the knife in their hands.
Seeing this situation, Yang Fan from the rear knew that it was too late to form a formation. He waved the rifle in his hand as a long gun and stabbed the officer closest to him.
The guards on the city wall had the advantage of being outnumbered. Even a few officers and soldiers were very brave. In the end, they were killed by spears and bayonets on the city wall. The remaining officers and soldiers were driven off the city wall again. valley
For this reason, two guards who used long guns died under the swords of officers and soldiers, and several others were injured. One of them was seriously injured and lost his combat effectiveness.
Subsequently, the officers and soldiers rushed to the city wall many times and fought with the defenders on the city wall. In the end, they were driven off the city wall by the defenders and the city wall was defended.
There were more and more casualties among the defenders on the city wall. On the other hand, the momentum of the officers and soldiers' attack on the city did not slow down at all, and officers and soldiers continued to attack.
Yang Fan and his defenders had to retreat, and several city walls had to be given up.
The officers and soldiers who had established a firm foothold, more and more officers and soldiers climbed onto the city wall, and their advantages increased. It was no longer possible for Yang Fan to drive the officers and soldiers off the city wall.
At the same time, the morale of the officers and soldiers who captured the city wall became even stronger.
Yang Fan and his guards fought with the officers and soldiers while retreating, gradually retreating to the horse road. The entire city wall had fallen into the hands of the officers and soldiers.
He tried several times to take back the city wall with his men, but was driven back to the horse road by a large number of officers and soldiers.
"Captain, the west and north city walls are missing, and the officers and soldiers have entered the city." A guard ran over panting to find Yang Fan.
After hearing this, Yang Fan knew that the situation was over and the city wall could no longer be defended.
He immediately said: "Retreat to the Fourth Archway."
Following his order, the guards on the horse road began to evacuate in an orderly manner towards the four archways in the city.
Outside Yongning City, Man Gui looked at Yongning City on horseback.
When more and more officers and soldiers climbed up the city wall, a smile appeared on his lips.
Yongning City is already in his pocket, and he can finally relax. The next step is to clear out the traitors in the city and get good news from Jiang Yingzhao.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Just when Mangui was happy to see the officers and soldiers attacking Yongning City, he suddenly heard the sound of thunderous horse hooves in his ears.
boom! boom! boom!
Because the wall on the south side of Yongning City was closest to the enemy's army outside the city, the officers and soldiers attacking the city were the first to arrive, so the battle naturally started first.
Yang Fan could no longer think about other things at this time.
There were three to four thousand officers and soldiers attacking the southern city wall, and there was no shortage of siege equipment. They also brought a large number of archers, which directly threatened the defenders on the city wall.
"Behind us are our families. If the officers and soldiers attack Yongning City, I won't say more about what will happen to our families. I believe you all know in your hearts. If you want to keep your family safe, there is only one choice, which is to defend our family. The city wall here, even if you die, you will drag the officers and soldiers under the city to die with you."
On the east wall, He Qianyou shouted loudly to the defenders on the wall.
Many of the defenders were peasant soldiers. Although they had undergone military training, they were still far behind the soldiers of various war divisions. Especially when facing life and death, he did not want the peasant soldiers guarding the city wall to have any problems. Timid.
Just one step behind Nancheng, the battle here in Dongcheng also started.
Soon, the defenders on the west and north walls were also attacked by officers and soldiers.
boom! boom! boom!
The defenders on the wall where He Qian was guarding fired their muskets.
Although there are not as many fire guns as on the southern city wall, they still put a lot of pressure on the officers and soldiers attacking the city.
The officer's ladder truck quickly arrived at the bottom of the city wall. The ladder raised from the ladder truck was set up on the city wall. The officers and soldiers below held their shields above their heads and began to climb up.
