Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

On the third day, the Japanese army launched an attack on Iwami Fort again. The Japanese army's tactics were to rush towards the city wall in a sparse formation with a large group of people! There is no heavy ordnance, no catapults, ladders, carts, etc. It seems that they are useless at this time, because they have not even touched the city wall for two days.

The noise of shouting and killing outside could be heard endlessly, and the roar of artillery could be heard from Yu Liang's head from time to time, and the soil was shaken to rustle down from his head!

In this cave like a cave, the sound of gongs and cannons was muffled and deafening, making it very uncomfortable to stay here. But Yu Liang's side was fine, the northwest wind was blowing from the sea, and the smoke in the cave was ventilated quickly; the brothers in the east were probably even more uncomfortable, although the cave was full of holes leading to the outer wall, but when there was no wind, the smoke would inevitably accumulate inside.

The Tibetan soldier cave is a hole dug along the thick solid wall, supported by thick | strong wooden beams, and the inside is connected; there are many passages leading to the outer wall, and the crenel of the nun's wall at the opening of the outer wall can only accommodate three people standing and firing. The shape of a hole is like a trumpet. Above the opening, something like an eave was repaired with wooden beams, covered with felt and mud.

Yu Liang was in charge of guarding the five openings: the entire corner wall and a hole in the front curved city wall. A team of 30 people is divided into two rounds of salvo|shooting (insufficient troops). The firing speed of the firearms was relatively slow, but fortunately they were not the only defenders firing on one side, and the defenders on the Liuhuajiao wall on the other side were also shooting at the Japanese army obliquely, forming crossfire.

Today's Japanese attack was even crazier, and they had just repelled a turbulent charge. Before everyone had time to take a breath, Yu Liang heard loud shouts outside.

Onboard! Onboard... Yu Liang leaned over to look out from the crenel upon hearing the sound, feeling his scalp numb. In addition to the wafting gunpowder smoke, a large number of infantry rushed up. Damn, this scene is too absurd! If Yu Liang hadn't experienced such scenes many times in three days, seeing so many people coming up, Yu Liang would have the illusion that he was going to die!

Get ready! he yelled, and put the whistle on his chest into|mouthed again.

Not long after, the gong on the wall above the head rang loudly. Bang bang bang... The muskets in the soldier hole on the entire wall fired immediately.

The moment the fire was fired, the hole was full of white smoke, and nothing could be 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 soil into the ditch with shovels.

Then there was the sound of crackling guns from the wall on the west side. Many Japanese soldiers fell down by the ditch. One with a shovel fell into the ditch. No one rescued him.

Fifty or sixty steps away, those cavalrymen on horseback drew their bows and shot arrows one after another. Swoosh... Countless arrows flew in from the entrance of the cave, and the Japanese cavalry shot arrows very accurately!

Ding! Zhang Dalang, who was busy loading, stopped for a moment, froze for a while, reached out to touch the helmet, and immediately cursed, Fuck! Fortunately, he is wearing an iron hat!

After several volleys, the enemy suffered heavy casualties and was defeated again. Yu Liang has never seen such a scene, the corpses behind the ditch have piled up!

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the passage behind, and an unknown general shouted, Where is Tenth General Yu?

Yu Liang responded, I'm here!

The military general followed the sound and came in through the tunnel, clasped his fists and said: I am Li Youde, the tenth general of the second team of the third capital commanded by Dongdao, and I have come to reinforce Yu Shijiang under the order of the Military Mansion Division. The five caves are still under the command of Yu Shigen.

Yu Liang was a little puzzled, so he clasped his fists in return.

After seeing the ceremony, Li Youde glanced outside from the crenel, and said: The other direction is a feint attack, only the enemy soldiers on your side are very fierce, so Commander Zhang called for reinforcements.

Yu Liang suddenly said: So that's the case.

As soon as the words fell, there was another shout of onboard outside! Yu Liangdao: This is the first time I've seen such a war...Everyone get ready!

Zhao Youde also hurriedly called his men to station in Wudong nearby, and the number of troops in this area increased to sixty.

Boom boom boom... The sound of the cannon made the wall tremble, Zhao Youde looked up, and then said: What General Yu Shi said is very true, if our Xu army wants to fight like this, the general will be beheaded by his superiors! It's no different from sending him to death.

The outer ditch has been basically filled up, and it can pass people. Many Japanese infantry rode over through the mud, approaching thirty or forty steps...then continued to fill in the ditch and shoot arrows.

The three trenches on the periphery of Iwami Fort are all within the range of guns, in order to prevent the enemy soldiers from rushing to kill, and at the same time they are within the range of fire coverage!

Four rounds of salvo fired alternately, and this time the firearms were fired faster. There were two corner walls and a frontal curved wall here.

The noisy screams and shouts seemed to be right under our noses. The closer the Japanese army got to the fort, the narrower the battle line became, and the crowd became very dense. Every time a round of gunshots was fired, a large number of people fell to the ground. Like crazy, they still rushed towards the second ditch desperately.

At this moment, suddenly, boom boom boom... several cannons rang out, and terrifying black balls flew down obliquely from the corner walls on both sides at a negative elevation angle, bouncing in the crowd, and suddenly a group of people exploded like boiling water.

The Japanese army finally retreated, and those behind turned around and ran away.

After the tide-like crowd left, the gunpowder smoke gradually thinned, and the castle below was a horrible sight, with corpses everywhere, and some people were crying and struggling in a pool of blood, and the flags and weapons were thrown into a mess.

The soldiers of Xu Jun in the hole in the wall looked at each other, speechless. But no one will be soft... If so many people rush up the wall, everyone will die! No matter how close you can fight with short soldiers, you can't do it with too many people.

The battlefield fell silent for a long time, and the Japanese army finally stopped their offensive. The arrow tower of the big camp was looming in the distance, and Xu Jun was completely unwilling to step out of the fort... There were only a few hundred people in total, and they went out to seek|death. The two sides were deadlocked on the battlefield for a long time.

There was no movement from the Japanese army for a long time, and everyone sat down on the spot. The soldiers took the cowhide water bags from their belts and drank water silently one by one.

Yu Liangdao: I don't know what the Dongdao people will do next.

Li Youde said: Never mind them, anyway, it's not that easy to take down this fortress.

Someone nearby hummed and said, These days have already killed enough, the enemy soldiers have killed at least a thousand people.

Li Youde said sternly: The actions of the Japanese are unreasonable. They killed Zhang's family and besieged our brothers in the imperial army at sea. Now they are here to send|dead! Don't show any color, they think they are better than the Liao army.

Yu Liang didn't answer, just sat down on the edge of the dirt wall, let out a long breath, his ears were buzzing, and his mind was muddled. Where did I ever think that I would become like this...

At this moment, a voice was suddenly heard: Commander Zhang. Meet Commander Zhang...

Yu Liang stood up quickly, and saw Zhang Jiankui, a big man with a beard, came in with his back bent. Everyone clasped their fists to perform the military salute.

Zhang Jiankui said directly: Brothers who serve the country will definitely be rewarded! I will assure you that as long as you return alive, you will have mansions, fertile land, and beautiful concubines!

After hearing this, everyone became more energetic, especially Yu Liang's subordinates, who were not as rich as those soldiers of the Forbidden Army, but this time, all the troops who formed the command of Dongdao, the Forbidden Army and the Guards also had the same military merits, and they could not be rewarded differently!

Zhang Jiankui also emphasized: Eastern Island commanded more than 500 people, but Emperor Daxu personally mobilized them. Don't worry, as long as we maintain the official face and Daxu's national prestige, this reward will be different from the past.

A civil servant next to him echoed: Brothers, just look at the equipment of Ishijian Fort. More than 500 people are equipped with more than 40 bronze cannons. The warehouses are filled with supplies from thousands of miles away. You can know that this place is highly valued by the court.

The two sang together. Regardless of their fatigue, all the soldiers were all excited|excited. The soldiers in the wall hole here, except for Yu Liang, who was from a wealthy family, almost all the soldiers came from poor backgrounds. Changing their fate at once is definitely a rare opportunity for generations!

Zhang Jiankui glanced over the faces of the soldiers one by one, very satisfied, and said: Defend Shijian Fort to the last, the reinforcements of the Flood Dragon Army will arrive soon!

Yu Liang deserved to have read more poems and books. Everyone dared not say a word in front of the commander, but he seized the opportunity at the right time and said generously: The last general and his subordinate brothers swear to live and die together in Shijianbao!

Okay, okay! Zhang Jiankui reached out and patted Yu Liang's shoulder, and then left the hole in the wall.

There was no more fighting in the morning, so everyone took out the wheat cakes in the grain bag in the earth cave, had lunch with cold boiled water, and stayed until You hour in the afternoon.

There was a sound of drums in Youshi, and another ten generals came to the hole in the wall very punctually. Yu Liang prepared the command flag, rectified the soldiers, handed over the defense with the generals who came, and then led everyone out of the cave.

When people came out of the hole in the wall, they all looked like beggars, their heads and faces were all black, the gunpowder was smoky, and their bodies were covered with dirt. Only the bright plate armor and helmets make everyone look like that.
