boom! boom! boom! The wooden planks erected by the trench-filling truck hit the other end of the trench heavily, and with a burst of dust flying, the chasm became a path.

The barbed wire fences that had not been broken down in several places were directly knocked down by the huge five-inch-thick plank bridge made by the trench-filling truck.

A large number of bandits and civilians, under the threat of the spears and bows of the slaves, ran as fast as they could, carrying bags of soil on their backs.

Rush to the edge of the trench and throw bags of soil into the trench. Then he turned around and ran back.

They know best that if they stay here for a moment longer, they will be shot down by a musket at any time.

Pushed by the bandits, the truck was pushed onto the trench-filling truck with difficulty. Quickly move closer to the city wall.

The biggest difference between this attack and the previous attacks is that it is no longer bandits and bandits who are the main attackers, but all the main attackers are Jiannu.

Fifteen hundred men were built as slaves, and they dismounted and climbed the city as infantry.

The first, second and third floors of the building were crowded with soldiers, and there were also soldiers with swords and shields on the stairs. The height of the slaves on the third floor is already level with the city wall.

They bared their teeth and shouted in eagerness to try. There were many Jian slaves on the stairs of the second floor waiting for the final charge.

The regiments on the city wall kept firing at the carriages, but most of the bullets were blocked by the wooden boards of the carriages. Only a few bullets shot into the carriages from the gaps. Occasionally, Jiannu screamed. Throw it down.

Donkey Dan shouted towards the city, "Trebuchet launch."

Twenty trebuchets were launched at once, making a deafening noise. The swing arm suddenly raised and was restrained by the beam at its highest point. It stopped immediately, and the forty pounds of pebbles in the net bag fell like raindrops.

The outside of the city was now densely crowded with siege soldiers, and a large number of ladders were leaning against the city wall. The slaves held knives in their mouths and held bamboo ladders with both hands, climbing quickly.

The dense cobblestones directly hit a large area.

The regiment's training in the past few days included what to do when the enemy broke through the barbed wire fences and trenches and began to attack the city with ants.

Although I was a little nervous, I didn't panic and knew how to deal with any situation.

The regiment training officers ignored the carriages that had not yet put down the gangplank. They stretched their muskets out of the battlements and opened fire on the unprotected soldiers and civilians below. The soldiers who climbed the city and the bandits and civilians who carried the bandits were knocked down one by one.

Zhao Shuigan led his group of ten brothers to light a huge grass ball, which was one meter in diameter and soaked in kerosene. It was carried on a large bamboo pole. The ten people controlled the bamboo pole and moved it slightly towards The approaching car hit the building.

With a roar, the big fireball hit the wooden board in front of the third floor of the building. This wooden board was brought down after approaching the city wall and used as a springboard to rush up to the city wall. Tie with rope.

The fireball burned the rope directly. The wooden board was put down in advance, and it hit the front baffle of the second floor with a clang. The heavy springboard broke the rope of the baffle and flew inward, sending more than a dozen soldiers flying.

The fireball directly hit the third floor.

The huge fireball instantly ignited more than 20 Jiannu on the third floor. With a burst of screams, the 20 Jiannu were burned into burning men. They all struggled to use their knives to cut the ropes that tied the wooden boards around them, kicked the wooden boards open, and jumped off from all sides.

At this time, the bamboo pole burned out, and the fireball fell on the third floor of the building. It kept rolling and rolled down the stairs. The sword and shield soldiers lined up in a dense formation on the stairs were shocked and inexplicable, and they used their shields to block the fireball. , while cursing, asking the people behind not to push forward against them.

Five of the ten carriages were burned into torches. The other five finally put the springboard on the wall.

A group of slaves howled and rushed up the city wall on planks.

A group of regimental training officers lined up in two rows on the city wall waiting for them. Five people and five muskets were enough to block the planks horizontally.

Then there was a crackling sound and a burst of smoke. The Jiannu triple armor rushing in front could not block the lead bullets fired from a distance of five meters. He screamed and fell off the springboard.

Jian Nu behind them continued to charge without fear of death. And soon the second volley of guns arrived. Nine consecutive rounds of shooting, 45 rounds of lead bullets, which could not miss at all at this distance, directly wiped out more than 20 slaves on the third floor. On the springboard, the floors of the third floor were littered with corpses.

Niulu Erzhen Batu scolded loudly, and while the musket was finished, he forced Jiannu on the stairs to rush up with his shield.

The first row finished firing the barrels and retreated to change the barrels. The second row quickly stepped forward. Just as dozens of sword and shield soldiers rushed out, there was another burst of gunfire.

The springboard of the carriage was set up behind the city. The slaves below could rush up to the city through the stairs of the carriage. But now they found that the springboard was too narrow. As long as there was a group of trained soldiers with guns, they could complete it. Seal the space inside the building.

Everyone died one after another, and they were all pinned down on the stairs on the second and third floors, huddled together, using shields to cover themselves and not daring to show their heads.

Huang San lit a jar of gunpowder and threw it several times with a sling wheel. This wine jar with a capacity of three kilograms contained five kilograms of gunpowder and was wrapped with iron slag. The jar was thrown in an arc across the sky, and then landed in the infantry square.

boom! An orange-red fireball rose, and the broken jar shell and iron slag swept around. The sharp broken porcelain shards and irregular iron slag directly killed a large area of ​​the dense formation of archers.

Chen Ning was a new recruit from the miner selection. He had only arrived at the Rockfield Baihu Station the day before yesterday, but he had already fired more than a hundred rounds of live ammunition.

At this time, regardless of the danger, he leaned half out of the battlement, pointed at a group of slaves climbing up the ladder, and lit his musket.

Nine shots were fired continuously, knocking down a group of slaves who were climbing up one by one. There was a wailing sound on the ground.

Then quickly retract to change the barrel.

After suppressing the truck, the team trainers lit the fuses from the three-pound wine jars filled with gunpowder, threw them into the truck and quickly fell down.

boom! After a loud noise, the truck was blown to pieces, and the soldiers inside flew out in all directions.

Then a large number of soldiers threw the gunpowder jars down from the top of the city. Among the dense crowds of slaves and bandits gathered under the city, flames rose up, as beautiful as fireworks in the dark night.

But what followed was that the flesh and blood were broken and limbs flew everywhere.

The dead lay in blood, and the wounded crawled in blood.

Wails like a slaughterhouse.

Abdul Bayan looked at the two armies fighting repeatedly at the top of the city. This time the attack was about to be suppressed, and he waved his arm decisively.

It’s time for the killer weapon to come on stage.

Immediately the artillerymen began to load gunpowder into the artillery, packed it with mops, and then loaded ten kilograms of lead balls into it.

Li Bingchen stepped forward to ask for instructions: "Master, the artillery is ready, where to hit."

Abdul Bayan looked at the shabby south city tower, which was less than seven meters high, with peeling bricks on the walls and the dilapidated small tower above. He pointed at the south gate and said, "Let's attack the south gate and give the city platform to the city." I collapsed."

"Zha" North Korean Li Bingchen immediately bowed and accepted the order, "Aim at the tower, test fire once, and release."

boom! The sound of a cannon directly covered up all the sounds on the noisy battlefield. Yang Fan was frightened and squatted down as a reflex.

Immediately afterwards, a spherical cannonball hit a pillar, and the foot-thick wooden pillar was directly broken by the lead bullet. Sawdust was flying. Half of the entire tower collapsed.

Yang Fan has been practicing moonlight meditation during this period. Although he has never discovered that he has unlocked any special skills, his reaction ability has improved a lot.

He got directly under the table.

Collapsed beams and tiles crashed onto the mahogany table.

The table jumped up and then fell heavily.

Dust was flying all over the sky, and Yang Fan had no choice but to close his mouth and nose tightly and cover his face with his sleeves.

The large mahogany table is still reliable. If it were an ordinary pine table, I would probably be reimbursed.

Yang Fan felt more and more that he had the foresight to move the best table in the institute.

He wondered in his heart that the artillery from Jiannu was too heavy and could not have been brought from Shenyang. In that case, they would all be exhausted and vomit blood.

That's who gave him the cannon.
