Daming pirates

Under such a heavy reward, and it was cashed on the spot, a group of guys who were not afraid of death were really gathered. These people pushed down some wooden parapets, and carried a lot of swarm rockets that had never been used.

They climbed up to the city wall. At this time, the battlements had been knocked down by the Yu family's army. There was almost no hiding place on the city wall. These wooden female walls became the last hiding place on the city wall.

A wooden parapet is a small cart with wooden wheels. It is made of thick wooden boards. Some of them are covered with iron sheets or rawhide to enhance their resistance to bullets or arrows. There are observation holes and perforations up and down on it.

, it was only at this time that the officers and soldiers thought of it and got it on the city wall.

Although these wooden parapets are not strong enough, they can still block the penetration of minie bullets made of pure lead from more than two hundred steps away. In this way, after dozens of wooden parapets are pushed up the city wall,

, and indeed, to a certain extent, the effectiveness of the snipers on the high platform of the Yu Jiajun outside the city was restrained.

Although snipers repeatedly shot at these wooden parapets, they were unable to effectively kill the officers and soldiers hiding behind them, so they had to call in artillery to help solve these problems.

But at this moment, behind the wooden wall, large wooden barrels were suddenly set up. After opening the lid, after a while, a cloud of gunpowder smoke suddenly appeared on the city wall. After an instant, Cheng

Thousands of rockets, really like a swarm of bees, roared and pulled out streaks of green smoke, pulling out thousands of dense smoke trails in the air, roaring towards the city.

Seeing this situation, Yu Xiaotian's pupils shrank suddenly. During this period, he had been fighting a little too smoothly, and he actually forgot about the big killer weapon like swarm of rockets.

The Swarm Rocket is also a very important weapon invented during the Ming Dynasty. As a battlefield suppression weapon, it is very powerful.

These swarms of rockets range from three-packs of divine machine arrows to twenty-packs of fire dragon arrows, and even thirty-two packs of rockets, and there is even a Hundred Tigers of Arrows loaded with hundreds of rockets at once.

The fuses are all gathered together and fired one after another after being ignited, which can indeed create a very strong fire suppression effect in an instant.

Moreover, the farthest of these swarm rockets can be launched to a distance of more than 200 steps. They are all heavy arrows. The front ends of the arrows are sharp iron arrow clusters. They rely on gravity and speed to have strong penetrating power.

The officers and soldiers have not used this thing in the past two days, so much so that Yu Xiaotian even forgot about these things. Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, the officers and defenders actually invited so many swarms of bees and hundreds of tigers to rush arrows. In a blink of an eye,

In the meantime, a burst of fire rain was created.

Dozens of barrels of swarms of bees and hundreds of tigers rushing arrows were ignited together, and thousands of rockets were launched in an instant, overwhelmingly raining down outside the city.

At this moment, a large number of Yu Jiajun's attacking troops were charging towards the opened gap. In an instant, a hail of rocket arrows covered the attacking Yu Jiajun's heads.

In just a short time, hundreds of Yu Jiajun soldiers fell. Some of them even had a few rockets inserted directly into their bodies and died on the spot under the city. There were also a group of soldiers who were killed by the arrows.

Injured by the rain, they also fell down on the way forward.

This was the first time in the past two days that Yu Jiajun had suffered such a violent counterattack and suffered heavy casualties. Yu Xiaotian only felt a pinching pain in his heart and cursed angrily.

He yelled: "Artillery, open fire with all your strength! I'll wipe out these bastards in the city!"

After the artillery started fighting today, in order to save ammunition, they no longer fired at full speed like yesterday morning. They just observed the movements on the city wall, and from time to time opened fire at some places where people gathered, or knocked down some remaining crenellations.

At this moment, they were caught off guard. The officers and soldiers suddenly pushed up the city wall with so many wooden parapets and swarmed with them. They instantly caused huge casualties to the attacking infantry brothers. Not only was Xiaotian angry, but they were also angry.

Confused.

The artillery officer felt that he could not bear with the attacking infantry brothers. At this moment, every one of them felt like they had their butts stabbed. He yelled and ordered to open fire at full speed.

The artillery position that was not very lively at first was suddenly like a volcano erupting. Dozens of light and heavy artillery fired at the same time again, slamming the shells into the city wall like hail.

After two days of continuous bombardment, the gunners at each gun position had already marked out the most accurate aiming points. This time, each gun fired three or four times in a row at the fastest speed.

Within a minute, the cannon poured one to two hundred cannonballs towards the city wall. These shells landed on the city wall with a roar. In almost no time, when I looked at the wooden parapets on the city wall that had just been pushed up, I saw a

Then one of them turned into pieces and was torn apart by the cannonballs.

But those desperadoes who had received heavy rewards and risked their lives did not even have a chance to escape, and were almost torn to pieces on the city wall by the Yu Jiajun's cannons.

The snipers on the high platform were also stunned. One by one, they loaded their Wolf fang rifles quickly, and then immediately took precise aim. As soon as they saw any officers and soldiers appearing on the city wall, they would immediately open fire on them.

Killed.

As a result, Gao Qiqian finally gathered a group of desperadoes. From the time they went up to the city, launched a swarm of bees, to their destruction, the whole process took less than a quarter of an hour. Hundreds of officers and soldiers who wanted money rather than their lives were torn apart one by one.

They fell on the city wall, leaving only more than a hundred desperadoes left, each one panicking like a frightened rabbit, screaming and rolling down the horse path in the city and down the city wall.

Looking at each of their faces, they were either blackened by smoke or covered with dust. In short, they all looked pale. After they got off the city wall, their buttocks were trembling, and some people even had wet crotches.

I was so scared that I peed my pants.

They had seen such firepower before! Those hot cannonballs were like hail falling down on the city wall. Many of their colleagues watched helplessly, and in the blink of an eye, the wooden wall in front of them was completely destroyed.

, were blasted to pieces together, the scene of human bodies suddenly exploding and being torn apart in front of their eyes, with flesh and blood flying everywhere, will probably become a lingering nightmare for them in this life, so regardless of how many taels of silver they took,

But at this moment, everyone was terrified by the impulse just now.

Gao Qiqian knew something was wrong, so he hurriedly urged the officers and soldiers to go to the city to guard the city like crazy. However, at this moment, the officers and soldiers were all pale with fear, and no one answered for a long time.

So Gao Qiqian directly summoned the guards, scolded them, and invited Shang Fang's sword, claiming that if they didn't go to the city to guard them, they would be beheaded on the spot.

Under Gao Qiqian's desperate pressure, the officers and soldiers reluctantly climbed up the city wall again, picked up rolling logs and stones, and began to throw them down the city to prevent the Yu family's army from attacking the city wall.

Next, before dark, the Yu family's army launched a fierce offensive and narrowly managed to capture the city wall. However, before dark, the officers and soldiers attacked the city wall and defeated more than 100,000 enemies. They set fire to the city wall and threw down the city wall.

, destroyed several Yu Jiajun's ladders, burned and burned dozens of Yu Jiajun soldiers, and finally stopped the Yu Jiajun's offensive.

Seeing that it was getting late, Yu Xiaotian saw that continuing to attack the city would be beneficial to the enemy but not beneficial to himself. Doing so might cause greater casualties, so he ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops and end the second day's general attack.

The Yu Jiajun's fierce attack on Chaoyang Gate for two consecutive days not only caused great casualties and pressure to the Chaoyang Gate defenders, but also caused great shock to everyone in the capital.

Chongzhen was listening to the rumble of cannons and the sound of muskets as dense as exploding beans coming into the palace from the Chaoyang Gate and Dongzhimen areas, as well as the constant shouts of killing. It can be said that he was as uncomfortable as sitting on pins and needles.

Now we have a large army of Jiannu, but we have recruited a guy who is more ruthless than Jiannu. The capital is swaying in the wind and rain, and seems to be in danger of overturning at any time.

It was only at this time that Chongzhen really began to feel regretful. He regretted not listening to the advice of some ministers and not to regard Yu Xiaotian as his enemy. He advised him to comfort Yu Xiaotian as much as possible and not to offend him at this time. However,

He didn't listen at the time, and always wanted to get rid of Yu Xiaotian as quickly as possible, so as to bring peace to tomorrow and achieve his great achievements as the Emperor of Zhongxing.

But now it seems that he was too optimistic about things. When Yu Xiaotian came to Tianjin Wei, he still had a chance to appease him. At that time, as long as he moved his mouth, he would give Yu Jiajun more or less some money.

Then send officers and soldiers to support Xiaotian's troops and defeat Jiannu. Then Yu Xiaotian will have no excuse to raise troops and cause rebellion.

Even if he had not done so at that time, when Yu Xiaotian led his troops to Jiannu and won the decisive battle at Tianjin Guard, he only needed to reward Xiaotian and his soldiers immediately instead of sending a large army to take advantage of Yu Jiajun's victory.

When the war just ended, if we went to sneak attack Yu Jiajun, there would still be room for redemption.

Didn't Yu Xiaotian want his name? As long as he did this at that time, if Yu Xiaotian still raised troops and caused chaos, it would be treason and unpopular.

After so many years of chaos in the Ming Dynasty, the slaves entered the customs and plundered all directions for half a year. The people around the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and even the people in northern Zhili, Shandong and other places, have long been at peace and do not want to bear any more wars.

Woe to him, if he didn't send troops to attack the Yu family army first and provide Yu Xiaotian with an excuse to rebel, then Yu Xiaotian would not dare to do anything without permission.

The common people would not lean towards him because of this, and would all return their hearts to the imperial court. However, he was still blinded by lard, and he listened to the advice of Liu Yuliang and others, and miscalculated the Yu Jiajun's combat power. He never expected that

, Yu Jiajun actually still has such strong combat power after the decisive battle with Jiannu.

As a result, the two powerful armies he had at his disposal were instantly overturned by the Yu family's army, which put the capital in danger and gave Yu Xiaotian an excellent opportunity and excuse to rebel.
