Chapter 219: Talking and Laughing (Part 2)

In the trench, the two companies that first climbed the camp were quietly waiting for the explosion under the city wall. They covered their ears with their hands or their mouths slightly opened, just like during daily training, to prevent them from being shocked or their ears from bleeding.

There is a sloped exit in front of the trench, which can spread the front of a company, because the suppression of artillery can completely ignore the blockade of the exit from the opposite side.

While the loud noise shook the earth, the trumpet blew the charge horn, and the infantry behind quickly climbed out of the trench, and the entire team of musketeers and crossbowmen aimed at both sides of the collapsed city wall to suppress it.

The spearmen lined up and waited, preparing for charge at several subsequent assault entrances, and a brigade whose flank cover was used to reduce frontal pressure also prepared long wooden ladders.

The two companies that had first entered the camp first rushed out. At this time, the bronze cannon behind had already begun to turn the gun mouth and bombard both sides. The gap that was dozens of steps wide was left to the two companies that had first arrived at the camp first.

The company commander wore a red turban on his forehead, and his slightly longer tail was fluttering, which was particularly conspicuous, so he led the people to rush out first.

There were no living people on the collapsed city wall, but there was a low wall behind the city wall. After the low wall, the Qi army gathered a lot of people to prepare for counterattack. The gaps in the low wall were uneven and it was difficult to line up. The spearmen were difficult to play here, and they could only rely on the soldiers of these two companies to rush away.

A short and convenient wooden ladder was placed at the gap in the collapsed city wall. A 25 Sima's men first threw some iron thunder into the gap in the city wall, and then set up a short wooden ladder to climb to the gap.

The two Sima soldiers climbed and rushed to both sides from the broken city wall that had appeared inclined surfaces, controlling the commanding heights to control the Qi army at the gap.

At the low wall behind the front wall, the Qi army on it was also seriously injured by the explosion just now. At this time, the Qi army formed a formation behind the short wall was also urged by the nobles to prepare for a counterattack.

The nobles in the city also knew the Mo family's siege tactics, and even knew that once this gap was opened, the city would be taken away.

They gathered the dead soldiers, private subordinates and other elites around them here to prepare for a counterattack.

It is precisely because of a one-stop effort that the first wave of counterattack is extremely important. If the first wave cannot defeat the Mo family, there will be no chance, because the first wave of counterattacks are the elite warriors on their side and the martial artists hiring money.

How much does a martial artist in Qi pay for a battle? He is considered a professional mercenary. He does not have the status of a warrior, but he is trained from the market and has enough close-killing ability.

The warriors on Qi also brought leather hats and orthodox taxis with leather hats made of deer-skin from the crown ceremony.

Before the explosion sounded, the men wearing leather hats took out their red turbans, held them up with their hands and tied them to their foreheads, and pulled out their daggers.

The outfits on the head of Xiandengying on the Mohist side were very similar to theirs. They also had red headscarves on their foreheads and leather ties with hair. The only difference was that the soldiers on the Mohist side also had red scarves and arms on their necks and arms, which made it easier to identify each other on the battlefield.

Before the smoke and dust of the collapsed city wall had dissipated, the first company that first entered the camp had rushed to the gap and climbed up the city walls on both sides of the gap.

The Qi army warriors at the low wall behind the front wall also began to fight back with the sound of drums.

The bombers on the Yishi Army lined up in a small array of twenty-five people on the uneven city wall. Two bombers in each team were in front of each team, and three people behind delivered the lit iron thunder. A company spread out at the gap and on the walls on both sides looked at the Qi army warriors who were rushing towards him without fear of death and threw two rounds of iron thunder.

After the bang of explosion, the company behind also followed. The company commander of the first company took advantage of the smoke of the explosion and the Qi army whose formation was blown away, and pulled out the iron sword with simple and exciting words from Li Tianxia, ​​and shouted: "Roar over! The brave ones who meet on a narrow road win..."

The people who lined up waited for the iron thunder in their hands to leave for the company behind. Following this slogan that had been circulating in the Mo family for more than ten years, he took advantage of the loose cluster of Qi warriors who had been blown up and used the iron sword as a weapon to launch an attack.

They understood their mission, opened the gap, scattered the first counterattack of the Qi army, and bought time for subsequent spearmen and musketeers to climb the city wall. This is the foundation. On this basis, breaking away the enemy and cutting into the city and completely scattering the Qi army's assembly was the icing on the cake.

On the opposite side are full-time warriors gathered together, and on the other side are the first camp who have been practicing hard in the army for several years. They each hold short swords and have almost no shields. The most cruel battle begins under the gap in the city wall.

The impact launched by the first series looked a little scattered, far less solid and neat than the spearmen formation, but it was still a small formation of five people.

The four people around the company commander stood a little closer. The front of the company commander was a samurai from Qi. During the battle, his light shone on his companions around him.

The Qiren warrior on the front of the two partners on the left was obviously a veteran. He deliberately sold a flaw to lure the swordsman on the Yishima to attack first, but his feet were not confused at all, and his grasp of distance was also excellent. It was obviously a life-and-death skill learned through countless battles.

The Yishiji swordsman on the left side of the company commander had already fallen into a trap, thinking that he had found an opportunity to take a step forward and stab a sword. However, the Qi warrior on the opposite side took advantage of the moment when he was able to retract the center of gravity defense, and his right leg stepped forward like a bow, and his hind leg was like a string. His sword-holding arm stretched out his entire body and collapsed into a straight line, hitting the abdomen of the Yishiji swordsman. Regardless of whether the Yishiji swordsman was dead, his body raised like a wave while pulling the swordsman and retreating backwards, stabbing towards the Yishiji swordsman on the far left.

This step is extremely skillful. After finding the center of gravity, you can attack or defend. The grasp of distance is an important feature of the level of swordsmanship.

Yu Guang, the company commander of the first company, swept over, feeling uneasy, stabbed a Qi warrior on the opposite side to death, but because of distance, he could only choose to support his partner on the right first, and shouted impatiently: "Sangzi, don't attack in a hurry!"

The swordsman named Sangzi was also a little panicked when he saw the beautiful assassination just now. He had only served for two years and had practiced hard to do the simplest stabbing skills. At this time, the opponent stabbed him. According to the daily training teaching, he must have to take a step back, but Sangzi was panicked and chose to chop and crush the sword on the opposite side.

The company commander secretly called out badly, but he was unable to do anything. The man in front of him was also a good player.

Sangzi's sword slashed down, with great force, but the Qi warrior did not withdraw his sword or retreat. Instead, he faced the slashing without avoiding it and instead advanced. While blocking it near the hilt of the sword, he walked forward one foot.

If the arm is exerted by force, it will be extremely labor-intensive. If the arm is exerted by the tip of the sword, it will save much effort. This is a skill that can fight with your life.

Sangzi practiced in the army for two years. The Mohist school emphasized knowing the truth and why, but in the end, in actual combat, it was much worse than the warriors who fought countless times on the other side.

While the latching was stopped, Sangzi suddenly felt a huge force coming from the sword. The warrior of Qi took another step as he struggled to move upward. His thick left hand reached directly towards Sangzi's wrist holding the sword. While grabbing it suddenly, his waist and hips twisted, and his shoulders sank and pushed them. Using his shoulders as the axis, Sangzi's arm holding the sword was rammed on his shoulders. With a strong pull, Sangzi's hand could not hold the sword at all. Then he felt that his feet were tripped by the man.

The Qi warrior took Sang Zi's sword and had already inserted his feet between Sang Zi's feet, which were standing in front and back according to the military techniques. He hit his waist with a force. Sang Zi fell to the ground unsteadily and then inserted a short sword into his abdomen.

"Sangzi!"

The company commander who killed the Qi people warrior in front shouted, and the Qi people warrior who stabbed the two others also approached. Under the red sage on his forehead, he waited for the company commander with a calm look, grasping the almost perfect distance, not far away, and holding the sword, he chose to circle around.

"He's a good guy."

The company commander muttered to himself, took a deep breath, touched his left hand to his waist, and took out a short dagger, and the face of the Qi warrior on the opposite side became solemn.

The origin of the Mo family's swordsmanship is complex, and Mozi's swordsmanship is superb, but the swordsmanship of the city gates is mainly used to cooperate with the stabbing of the military formation, and it was originally used for swords and shields.

Later, those who were proficient in swords and shields went to Xiliu, who taught Xiliu's water divisions on the sidelines. The grenadiers in infantry battles had only iron swords but no shields. However, before the Mo family had swordsmen, they used daggers to use long swords as shields as stabs, and killed them by bullying themselves to get close.

The samurai in Qi was well-informed and fought for many years. When he saw the company commander of the righteous army opposite, he held a dagger in his left hand and said to himself: "I heard in Gaotang that a heroic man made good use of this kind of swordsman thirty years ago. Later, he killed him and fled because of the tyranny of the doctor. He really entered the Mo family. Since this man learned his swordsmanship from that man, he had to deal with it carefully."

He is from Gaotang, and there are many legends in the market. He also knows that this sword technique uses the technique of using swords as shields and daggers as swords, and he thought to himself: "Only by keeping a distance, he will retreat when he attacks me, and after tempting him to reveal his flaws, he can assassinate with one sword!"

After the company commander pulled out the dagger, he also knew that the opponent's skills were amazing and thought to himself: "I need to keep a distance from it. If he attacks me, he will retreat, lure him to reveal his flaws, and then take advantage of the chaos to stick to him so that he cannot retreat, so that he can kill him..."

The two looked at each other, regardless of the sound of fighting beside each other, but unexpectedly did not attack, but just kept adjusting their steps.

After a long confrontation, I heard the gunshots in the back. When I saw the warrior of Qi tremble, he fell to the ground and twitched. He was actually hit by a musket. It seemed that the musketman had climbed up on the top of the city.

…………

Three hundred steps outside the city wall, a situation that could make him excited came from the mirror of a thousand-mile. Several musketeers set up ladders and put a musketeer on the high part of the city wall. Two or three musketeers had already been listed on the low walls on both sides of the gap.

The musketeer who climbed to a height on the ladder led the strange flag of the Mo family with wheat ears, sickles and hammers to the height of the city wall, and waved his hands.

At the gap, Qiren did not seize the opportunity to counterattack. If he did not succeed, it means that the last opportunity to counterattack was lost.

Shi didn't know what kind of battle happened behind the city wall, nor did he know how many casualties the elite warriors of Qi people brought about by the casualties, but he knew that Pingyang City had been considered to have been broken.
