On the third day, the Japanese army once again launched an offensive against Ishijian Fort. ←The apex novel, the Japanese army's tactics are to rush toward the city wall in a sparse formation of large groups of people! There was no heavy ordnance, no catapults, no aerial ladders, rushing carts, etc....it didn't seem to be needed at this time, because they hadn't even touched the city wall for two days.
The noise of shouting and killing outside was endless, and the roar of artillery came from Yu Liang's head from time to time, and the soil was shaken and fell from his head!
In this cave-like Tibetan soldier's cave, the sound of gongs and cannons are muffled and deafening. It is very uncomfortable to stay here. But Yu Liang’s side is okay. The northwest wind is blowing from the sea, and the ventilation in the cave is quickly dissipated. Those brothers in the east are probably even more uncomfortable. Although the cave is full of holes in the outer wall, there is no It is inevitable that gunpowder and smoke will accumulate in the wind.
The Tibetan Soldier Cave is a ground hole dug along a thick solid wall. The upper part is supported by thick | strong wooden beams, and the inside is connected; there are many passages leading to the outer wall, and the nun wall crenellation at the opening of the outer wall, Only three people are allowed to stand and launch, and a hole is shaped like a trumpet. Above the opening, wooden beams were used to repair something similar to an eave, covered with felt and mud.
Yu Liang was responsible for garrisoning five openings: the entire "corner wall" and a hole on the front curved wall. A team of thirty people were divided into two rounds | shooting (not enough troops). The firing speed of the firearms is slower, but fortunately, not only are their defenders firing on one side, the defenders on the other side of the six-flowered angle wall are also shooting the Japanese troops obliquely, forming a crossfire.
Today, the Japanese army's offensive is even more frenzied, and it has just repelled a raging charge. Before everyone had time to breathe, Yu Liang heard loud shouts outside.
"Onboard! Onboard..." Yu Liang heard the sound, leaned forward and looked out of the crevice, feeling a numb scalp. In addition to the wafting gunpowder, large swathes of footsteps rushed up. His|mother|, this scene is too absurd! Had it not been for many such scenes in three days, Yu Liang would have seen so many people come up, there would be an illusion that he would be finished!
"Get ready!" he yelled, and then plugged the whistle on his chest|mouth.
Not long afterwards, the gong on the wall above my head clicked loudly. "Bang bang bang..." The fire in the entire wall hidden in the army hole|The gun immediately fired.
The moment the fire was opened, the entrance of the hole was full of white smoke, and nothing was seen. After a while, when the wind blew, he could see many Japanese people outside struggling and screaming on the ground, and some people were digging into the ditch with shovel.
There was a crackling blast from the wall on the west. I saw that the Japanese sergeant next to the ditch fell and a lot of people fell, and one of them with a shovel fell into the ditch. No one helped. He, the people behind took a shovel to dig soil on the head of the wounded soldier who was still struggling in the mud!
Fifty or sixty steps away, the cavalry on horseback drew their bows and shot arrows. "Swish..." A few arrows flew in from the entrance of the cave, and the Japanese cavalry was very accurate in shooting arrows!
"Ding!" Zhang Dalang, who was busy filling up, paused for a moment. After a while, he reached out and touched the helmet. He suddenly cursed, "Fuck! Fortunately wearing an iron hat!"
After several volleys, the enemy suffered heavy casualties and was defeated again. Yu Liang had never seen such a scene before, and the bodies behind the ditch had already piled up!
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the passage behind, and a general who did not know shouted: "Where is Yu Shi general?"
Yu Liang responded: "I am here!"
The military commander bent his waist and got in from the tunnel, clasping his fists and said: "I am Dongdao commanding the second team of the third capital, Li Youde, and the command of the army branch commander came to support Yu Shi. The five holes are still controlled by General Yu Shi."
Yu Liang was a little puzzled, first held his fist in return.
After seeing the ceremony, Li Youde glanced outside from the crenellation, and said: "The other direction is a feint attack. Only your enemy soldiers are very fierce. Commander Zhang mobilized troops to come for reinforcements."
Yu Liang suddenly said: "So it is."
As soon as the voice fell, I heard another "onboard" shout outside! Yu Liang said: "This is the first time I have seen such a war... Everyone prepares!"
Zhao Youde also hurriedly greeted his people in five nearby holes, and the military strength in this area increased to sixty.
"Boom boom boom..." The sound of the artillery shook the wall, Zhao Youde looked up, and then he said: "What Yu Shijiang said is extremely true, we Xu Jun is going to fight like this, the military commander was chopped off earlier. Now! It’s no different from dying."
The outer ditch has basically been filled, and it can pass people. Many Japanese soldiers came over from the mud, as close as thirty or forty steps... and then continued to fill the ditch and shoot arrows.
The three trenches on the periphery of Ishimi Fort are all within the range of the fire|gun, in order to prevent the enemy from charging and killing, and at the same time, within the fire coverage!
Four rounds of Qi|Alternative firing, this time the firearms are fired more quickly, here are two "corner walls" and a front arc wall of firearms in an endless stream, the crackling sound almost never stopped, three sides covering three or four Enemy soldiers within ten paces.
The noisy screams and screams seemed to be right under the nose. The closer the Japanese army got to the fortress, the narrower the battle line, and the crowd became very dense. Every round of gunfire, a large number of people fell to the ground. They are like crazy, still desperately coming to the second ditch.
At this moment, suddenly "boom boom..." several cannons rang, and the terrifying black ball flew down diagonally from the two corner walls at a negative elevation angle, bounced in the crowd, and suddenly a group of people seemed to be bombed by boiling water. The flowers bloomed, there were screams, the horses clashed everywhere, and many people were squeezed into the ditch.
The Yue army finally retreated, and the back turned around and ran away.
After the tidal crowd left, the gunpowder gradually thinned out. It was terrible to see under the castle. There were dead bodies everywhere, and some people were crying and struggling in a pool of blood. Flags and weapons were thrown into a mess.
General Xu Jun in the hole in the wall looked at each other, unable to speak. But no one is soft...If so many people rush to the wall, everyone will die! No matter how close the shorts can fight, there are too many people.
The battlefield ceased for a long time, and the Japanese army finally stopped the attack. The Daying Arrow Tower in the distance was faintly seen, Xu Jun was totally unwilling to step out of the fortress... there were only a few hundred people in total, and they were looking for death. The two sides remained deadlocked on the battlefield for a long time.
For a long time, there was no movement from the army. Everyone sat down one after another. The soldiers took the cowhide water bags from their belts and drank water in silence.
Yu Liangdao: "I don't know what the people of Dongdao will do next."
Li Youde said: "Follow them, it's not that easy to take this fortress anyway."
Someone next to him hummed: "I have killed enough money these days. At least thousands of enemy soldiers have died."
Li Youde said sternly: "The Japanese killed Zhang's mansion and besieged our imperial brothers at sea. Now they are here to send | die! Don’t give me some color, look at them, they thought they were better than the Liao army. Return the cow."
Yu Liang didn't answer, he fart| sat on the edge of the dirt wall, taking a long breath, his ears buzzing, and his mind was muddled. Where did I ever think that I would become like this...
At this moment, I suddenly heard a voice: "Director Zhang." "Meeting Commander Zhang..."
Yu Liang waited hurriedly to stand up, and saw Zhang Jiankui, a big man with a beard, hunched in. Everyone clasped their fists in a salute.
Zhang Jiankui said directly: "Brothers who serve the country, there must be a great reward! I will assure you that as long as you go back alive, you will have the mansion, fertile land, and beautiful concubines!"
Everyone had a lot of energy after listening, especially Yu Liang's men, who were not as wealthy as those of the Forbidden Army soldiers, but this time all the horses who formed the East Island command, the Forbidden Army and the Guards have the same military merits, and they can never distinguish between rewards!
Zhang Jiankui also emphasized: "The Dongdao commanded more than 500 people, but the Emperor Xu personally mobilized them. Please wait and rest assured, as long as we maintain the official face and great national prestige, this reward is different." /
A civil official next to him echoed: "Brothers only need to look at the equipment of Ishimi Fort. More than 500 people are equipped with more than 40 bronze cannons. The warehouses are filled with materials from thousands of miles away. It can be seen that this place is highly valued by the court."
The two sang and got together. Regardless of exhaustion, all the soldiers were excited|struck up, the soldiers in the wall hole here, except for Yu Liang's wealthy family, almost all the soldiers were born in poverty, and suddenly change their destiny. This is definitely a rare opportunity for generations of people!
Zhang Jiankui's gaze swept across the faces of the soldiers, and he was very satisfied, and said: "Desperately defend the stone see the fort, the dragon army reinforcements will arrive soon!"
Yu Liang deserved to read more poems and books. Everyone dared not say anything in front of the commander, but he seized the opportunity at the right time and generously said: "The final general and his subordinate brothers vowed to coexist and die in Shijianbao!"
"Okay, okay!" Zhang Jiankui stretched out his hand and patted Yu Liang's shoulder, then left the wall hole.
There was no war in the morning. Everyone took out the wheat cakes in the grain bags in the earth cave, ate lunch with cold boiling water, and stayed until you time in the afternoon.
Youshi drums rang, and the other ten generals came to the hole in the wall very punctually. Yu Liang prepared the flags, rectified the soldiers, handed over defense with the coming generals, and then left the cave with all of them.
When people came out of the hole in the wall, they all looked like beggars, all black, the smoke of gunpowder, and the whole body covered with dirt. Only the bright plate armor and helmet make everyone look like that.
