Eight hundred and thirtieth chapter night attack
Chapter 830 Night Attack
The battle once again entered a fierce situation. The Ming soldiers were determined without hesitation, but the strong soldiers were still very tenacious. For them, they must resist the attack of the Ming soldiers, even if they were fighting for their own lives. For the Ming soldiers, the main thing they are to break through this city wall, even if they sacrifice their lives.
War is cruel, but this cruel war is necessary for countless people. At this time, most people can only fight. If the enemy falls to the ground, they will fall to the ground.
The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were still filling sandbags into the river, while the strong soldiers held shields and threw stones down in the rain of bullets. They tried every means to prevent the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty from filling the river, because they knew that once the river was filled, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty would break through the city like breaking through other city walls, and then occupying the city. How could they not know how much land their country still has in their hands? So now they also understand that if they lose this city, their country will be smaller.
However, they had no way to stop the attack of the Ming soldiers. The current Ming soldiers are tigers falling down the mountain. There was no way to stop the city wall in front of them from entering. After all, for them, the purpose of concentrating so much force was to capture the city, or it was determined to win.
As the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty kept throwing it down, the Ming Dynasty finally filled the river in front of them. It took a day to mobilize more than 200,000 people, and finally filled the moat. Of course, they also lost a lot of soldiers.
There is nothing worth it or not in the world. For the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, filling the river is a victory.
For the powerful soldiers, this is not a victory. The river below is filled, and they have no choice but to have any choice. Moreover, the upper and lower flows of the river have been completely occupied by the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. They are now completely considered an isolated city.
The Ming soldiers retreated again when it was dark. For them, this goal has been achieved today. At least it has turned the river in front of them into a road. It is naturally much easier to attack every day.
It also became quiet, and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty had basically rested.
The gate of the originally closed city wall suddenly opened, and then a cavalry rushed towards the barracks. This was a charge of the high-strength soldiers. The daytime battle caused a lot of casualties, especially the Ming artillery and bows and arrows, and the losses in the city were also very serious. They also knew that as soon as the sky was dawn, the Ming Dynasty soldiers would definitely attack. At that time, if the city wall could withstand their attacks, the generals decided to attack the Ming Dynasty at night and catch them off guard. After all, it was not very advantageous for them to defend the city wall. That kind of conventional war was simply defeated!
So they decided to attack the Ming Dynasty at night and attacked by surprise. For them, only in this way can they win now. They have always relied on cities to resist the Ming Dynasty's attack, but they were beaten to flee every time.
Originally they thought they were planning to attack, but when they thought it would be easier for Ming Dynasty soldiers to discover it, they directly used cavalry to open the way in front, and then the soldiers behind them rushed directly to their camp. And now the Ming camp is not far from them, and even if they find it, it is too late. Moreover, they fought during the day and thought they would not have any sneak attacks at all, so they should not have any preparations at night.
But as soon as they walked out of the city gate, a red firework suddenly lit up in the sky, which looked particularly enchanting in the dark night sky.
"What's going on"
The high-strength cavalry couldn't help but say in surprise.
"rush!"
The general who was walking in front said loudly at this time, then took the lead and rushed forward. He was actually discovered. It was too late to retreat, and many people had already come out. The only hope now is to take advantage of the enemy's lack of preparation to rush in and the others, otherwise there would be no chance of winning at all.
Soon, the camp of the Ming Dynasty was still in sight, and it was pitch black inside, as if there was no one in front of them. The cavalry couldn't help but be happy. Sure enough, they were not prepared at all.
"rush……!"
The general couldn't help but be happy and shouted loudly. The entire cavalry rushed forward without hesitation, and the camp in front of him was right in front of him.
"ah……!"
Suddenly, a desolate scream was hidden among the rumbling horse hooves. Then, more and more feather arrows appeared out of thin air and appeared in front of them. The high-strong soldier who was running wildly fell into a pool of blood.
"There is an ambush?"
Many high-strong soldiers suddenly had this idea in their minds, but how did the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty know that they had taken action?
But they couldn't help but think about why, the feather arrows in the sky were again general, and countless powerful soldiers were shot down from the Malay, although they were only one step away from their target.
The strong soldiers behind them couldn't help but stop their steps. Now they didn't know how many enemies there were in front of them, but the rain of arrows gave people the feeling that it seemed to be everywhere in the sky.
The night is equal. The strong soldiers of high-strength hope to attack the Ming camp through the night, of course, just hope to surprise them. Of course, the Ming soldiers can also use the darkness to hide themselves and attack Gao Qiang people by surprise. In this darkness, they don’t know where the enemy is. And as long as they are ready, the results of the battle will be very considerable.
As for why Daming knew that Gao Qiang would attack in the dark, one of the big reasons was naturally the spy.
Intelligence is the first element of the Ming army's combat, and now the high-strong soldiers should be in a state of defending the city. If they send troops, there will naturally be a lot of movement. So these movements were quickly spread. After seeing it, the generals of the Ming Dynasty also came to a conclusion that Gao Qiang planned to attack at night, or think about it if it was impossible. You should know that their current military strength is a bit insufficient. Is it a bit risky to send troops like this? But in a blink of an eye, only in this way can we fight.
Ming was caught off guard, so Daming prepared a banquet for them. When they came out, more than 5,000 people, someone sent a signal flare. Originally, these powerful soldiers would retreat, but they did not expect that when they did not retreat at all, they rushed towards the camp. This was the case. What could they do if they were well treated? So the soldiers of Daming prepared in the dark. On the surface, there was no movement at all, but in fact they were already secretly murderous intent.
"boom……!"
The Ming Dynasty artillery also began to roar at this time, and suddenly, a huge fireball suddenly rose on the body of the strong soldiers. This was much more lethal than those on the city walls. It screamed in an instant, and the flames of the artillery explosion briefly broke the night.
Gao Qiang soldiers were immediately stunned and time became chaotic. However, at this time they seemed to understand that they could not go back. No one fled, but rushed towards the Washu soldiers camp. Now they planned to take a few Ming soldiers to die together even if they died.
Of course, they were greeted by dense rain of arrows. In front of them, the Ming archers were standing neatly in several rows.
The flames of the shell explosion reflected their faces red. They were calm and determined. They did not stop the bows and arrows in their hands. Although the blackness in front of them, what they had to do now was to shoot the bows and arrows in their hands towards the front. As for waste, they did not exist. Anyway, the arrows could be waved and reused.
The screams resounded throughout the night. The rumbling sound of cannons made the earth tremble. One after another, the strong soldiers fell to the ground. They even did not see what the enemy looked like in the night.
The city gate of the city wall was closed at this time. People outside could not enter, and people inside could not come out. Countless thorn soldiers who had not gone out squeezed onto the city wall at this time. They could only continue the explosion of fires and saw their comrades lying on the ground. The air was not only filled with bloody smell.
One by one, the strong soldiers had no intention of escaping at this time, just like moths. They knew that there was some danger in the fire, but they still rushed forward.
As for the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, they naturally acted as fire. Although the strong soldiers were very brave and admired their bravery, they were all enemies after all, and their kindness towards the enemy was cruelty to themselves. This is the principle of war.
The sound of artillery slowly stopped, but this did not mean that the war was over. After the artillery stopped, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who had been unable to hold back had already rushed out at this time, with the targets of the thorn soldiers in the middle. After all, the artillery and bows could only be eliminated, and in the end, these soldiers would have to rely on them.
The stop of artillery was suddenly much easier for the powerful soldiers, but the Ming soldiers who rushed over made them face fighting again. Although they could see the enemy this time, there were too many enemies. More and more soldiers of the thorns fell in pools of blood, and the voices of resistance became weaker and less and less.
