1498 New Attack
There is no doubt that the first attack was quickly repelled. However, less than a quarter of an hour after the three teams retreated, the second batch of three teams rushed up again!
Like the first attack, once the team's wooden shield is half damaged, the team will be rotated. The third attack is different from the first two attacks. The main attack direction is still the hill on the right, but Liu Wenxiu has infiltrated more than a thousand archers in the team!
There were almost no archers when the Daxi Army attacked before, which made the Shandong soldiers become careless and began to shoot outside with confidence and boldness on the wooden wall! So the sudden rain of arrows suddenly dropped more than twenty people!
Most of the people who were shot were on their heads and necks, and more than half of them had no chance to be rescued! The rest also temporarily lost their combat power! This caused a riot behind the defense line!
If it weren't for the infantry artillery in the defense line's emergency firing and firing a large number of shotguns, it would have almost allowed the Western Army to attack the fence!
Just as Qiqitao organized the soldiers to prepare for the fourth attack, Liu Wenxiu suddenly changed the direction of the main attack and placed the breakthrough location in the middle camp!
Because on the flat ground, the soldiers of the Daxi Army rushed very quickly! Unpreparedly, the Daxi Army rushed to the city! If the hills on both sides had not bombarded the Daxi Army's team with flowering bullets in time, they might have succeeded!
Because when the artillery was firing, the soldiers of the Daxi Army had already put the simple long ladder on the wall! There were even soldiers of the Daxi Army who used flying grabs to catch the wall and climbed upwards! Shandong soldiers had to risk the rain of arrows to poke out their bodies to counterattack the opponent, but a large number of soldiers were shot to death by the opponent's archers and injured!
When the Daxi Army retreated, Qi Qitao was shocked and sweated! If the Daxi Army really rushed into the camp, his more than 2,000 people would really not be able to stop the endless impact of troops!
In the subsequent battle, Liu Wenxiu used his superior forces to start one wave after another! Moreover, Liu Wenxiu suddenly changed the main attack direction from time to time, hoping to catch the opponent off guard in this way!
At the same time, Liu Wenxiu is fighting
It showed outstanding organizational skills! Every time the troops that were withdrawn were reorganized and replenished, so that they could go into battle again. He almost formed the 90,000 people into an infinite cycle of troops, making his troops seem endless! It added huge pressure to Qi Qitao and the others!
At the same time, he also organized the entire army's archers and bird gunners and randomly stuffed them into a certain attack! Every sudden appearance of dense arrow rain will cause certain casualties to Shandong soldiers!
But these are not the most terrifying! What is the most terrifying is the huge mental pressure formed by this continuous attack!
Liu Wenxiu used his military strength to maintain attacks one after another, from morning to one to night! Shandong soldiers on the entire defense line almost didn't get any long rest! They could only breathe a few breaths in the battle!
You should know that when people are nervous, they will consume a lot of physical strength, let alone fierce battles! If they weren't all musket soldiers, they could kill the enemy by just pulling the plate machine. If they rely solely on hand-to-hand combat with cold weapons, a certain front might be lost in the afternoon!
Another more important reason is that the cannons on the hilltop finally opened fire! Although these cannons cannot shoot the enemies on their hillsides, they will be bombarded by flowering bullets before the Daxi Army arrives on the hillside!
Moreover, the cannons on any mountain can provide sufficient support to the other two positions! Whenever the soldiers of the Western Army approach the defense line, the cannons on the other mountain will fire flowering bullets, and the target is the open space in front of the defense line.
The landing points of these artillery were measured in advance, and the artillery soldiers could accurately deliver the flowering bullets to the target, thus causing batches of Western soldiers to return in vain!
Moreover, the rescued people also undertake all the logistics work. They are responsible for helping the wounded bandage the wounds, transporting supplies, and conducting simple repairs to the camp. Without these ordinary people, Qi Qitao would have fewer soldiers available!
The battle continued until nightfall, but Liu Wenxiu still had no intention of truce! He continued to mobilize the army to launch wave after wave of fierce attacks! And Liu Wenxiu's cunning orders entered
The offensive troops are not allowed to fire torches!
This order caused great trouble to Shandong soldiers! Without torches in the dark, it is difficult to find attacking teams in the mountains, or if the distance measurement is found, it is not necessarily accurate!
This is barely acceptable for artillery, because the landing points of the shells are measured in advance, and the artillery can only be fired according to the ruler. But the musket is not possible. If the musket soldiers want to aim, they must have a clear target. In the dark, pulling the trigger to the vague figure is very difficult!
Moreover, the distance of the fire of the muskets was limited to about 40 steps in the dark. This gave the Western Army the possibility of getting closer! They could rush outside the defense line in a shorter time! If there weren't intensive infantry artillery for shooting, the first defense line would have been lost long ago!
Even so, the attack of the Daxi Army put enough pressure on the Shandong soldiers. Moreover, the archers and bird gunners mixed in the team also caused a lot of casualties to them!
Faced with this continuous attack, Qi Qitao had to pull out some of his hands to rest in advance. However, in this way, even fewer people could fight on the defense line, and the scene was once in danger!
When the moon was rising to the top of the treetops, the exhausted Qi Qitao had to order the soldiers on the hills on both sides to take a step back and retreat to the second line of defense!
After repelling an enemy's attack, the soldiers began to retreat to the second row of wooden fences during the short truce. They took away everything they could take away, and threw it behind the wooden fences, piled up wood and poured tinder oil before retreating.
The soldiers had just left, and the next attack of the Daxi Army began! The Daxi Army rushed out in the dark and rushed towards the first row of wooden fences! But what excited them was that they had already rushed to more than twenty steps from the defense line, but no one stood up behind the defense line to shoot at them!
The soldiers rushing in front had already thought that the enemy might have retreated! This made them even more excited, so they couldn't help but speed up!
