Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 555

[Chapter 555 Survival and Death]

“Mortar!” On the

city wall of Ningcheng, the generals ran back and forth, issuing various orders.

Since joining the army, they have never experienced such a dangerous battle.

The city is dilapidated, and the enemy’s strength is nearly six or seven times that of our own.

And they are Beidi people who are feared by Dasong people.

However, although the soldiers were nervous, they were orderly and did not appear flustered at all.

Along the way, they have experienced many battles.

Now, no matter what situation they face, they can deal with it calmly, the worst is the shroud of horse leather.

“Fight!”

Beidi soldiers were getting closer and closer with their ladders on their shoulders.

When they entered the range of 400 meters, the generals issued orders one after another.

“Dong dong dong…”

The sound of mortars sounded, and shells exploded above the heads of the soldiers in Beicheng.

The lime bomb exploded, and the white dust burned the eyes of Beidi soldiers, immediately throwing Beidi soldiers in an area into chaos.

The shotgun directly knocked down half of Beidi soldiers within ten meters.

It’s just that there are too many Beidi soldiers rushing over.

The explosion appeared sparse among the charging Beidi soldiers, unable to stop the Beidi soldiers from attacking.

And when they rushed within 200 meters, the riflemen on the city wall pulled the trigger.

“Bang bang bang…” Intensive gunshots sounded.

The Beidi soldiers rushing forward fell to the ground as if their feet were tripped.

Some people were silent again, and some were howling on the ground.

The Beidi soldiers who followed did not stop. They stepped on the body of their companions, picked up the ladder and continued to rush forward.

At this moment, Khan was watching them from the tent.

They want to prove their bravery in front of the Khan.

However, another round of shooting greeted them, and Beidi soldiers fell down in large numbers again.

After repeated seesaws like this, fewer and fewer Beicheng soldiers charged.

“Khan, that’s how our attacks at Yanguan were thwarted again and again.” Horqin stood beside Mule Hongzhen.

At this time, they were all wearing the uniforms of ordinary soldiers.

Mixed among the soldiers, they were no different from other Beidi soldiers.

In doing so, they are to observe the battlefield at close range, and to prevent being discovered by the opponent and being bombarded.

Mu Lehong really frowned. He was only surprised when he read the battle report sent by Gu Ertu.

But seeing it with my own eyes, I immediately felt a chill rise from the soles of my feet to my forehead.

Two hundred meters away, Beidi soldiers will be attacked by this kind of musket.

After rushing for 200 meters, there were almost few soldiers left at the bottom of the city.

Seeing that the first charge was about to fail, Mule Hongzhen said, “Let the soldiers use the bodies of other soldiers as human shields to attack forward.”

“This…” Gu Ertu hesitated.

Not only Dasong, but Beidi people also respect the corpses of their own soldiers.

In this way, he was afraid of arousing the resentment of other soldiers.

Seeing Mu Lehong’s serious expression, he immediately passed on the order.

The Beidi soldiers who were charging received the order and immediately cooperated with each other, lifting the corpse on the ground and laying it in front of them to protect the soldiers behind.

It’s just that this has no effect at all. The Yanzhou soldiers on the city wall are condescending, and the bullets still hit them.

Mule Hongzhen immediately canceled the order again, he just simply tried.

This method failed, and he had to think of other effective methods.

“Stop attacking and launch a night attack at night.” After only a moment of hesitation, Mule Hongzhen made up his mind.

He knew that Gurtu’s night attack had failed.

But that was Yanguan, not Ningcheng.

Yanguan has Mo Yu as the governor, but Ning Cheng does not.

Yanguan has so many bells, but Ningcheng may not have so many bells.

Furthermore, although Gurtu’s night raids often ended in failure, it is clear that fewer soldiers were killed or killed in night raids than during the day.

Therefore, his night attack may not be unsuccessful.

“Get ready for the gunpowder barrel and blow up the city wall.” Mule Hongzhen said again.

Guertu naturally thought of this method to deal with Yanguan.

But Yanguan’s city wall artillery can only leave a white mark on it, and the gunpowder barrel has no effect on it at all.

Similarly, the city wall of Ningcheng is not like this.

If he didn’t want to take down Ning City as soon as possible, he would even bombard a certain area of the city wall and knock down the city wall.

But this is obviously not as fast as the powder keg.

After that, he turned and went back to the tent.

The head of Ningcheng city.

Qin Shan and the generals have been tense, ready to fight for a day.

Seeing Beidi soldiers retreating suddenly one after another, not only was he not happy, but his heart sank.

“Why don’t you fight anymore?” A general looked puzzled.

“I’m afraid they will fight at night.” Qin Shan said.

At the time of Yanguan, Beidi had just suffered a setback, and then chose to fight at night.

The Beidi army who came from Jincheng this time might not believe in the power of their rifled guns at first.

Now that I have seen it, I will naturally take the same action.

And this will be a huge challenge for him.

“Have the armor and weapons been distributed to Yan Zhuang and the others?” Qin Shan asked.

“Sent.” The general replied.

Qin Shan nodded, this time he could only use all available power to resist Beidi’s army and create opportunities for the follow-up battle.

Do everything possible to defend Ningcheng.

Otherwise, Ning Cheng would be broken, and none of Yan Juan and the others would be able to live.

The normal update should resume tomorrow, sorry for the past few days.
