Mo Zui yelled: "Save the master quickly" and rushed up in one stride. Crazy hands were pulling at the remaining bricks and broken wood.

The servants immediately realized that the master was their long-term meal ticket, and this mattered to them more than the city. Immediately, they frantically started digging out the fallen construction debris.

Soon Yang Fan, who was covered in dirt and almost unrecognizable, was dragged out from under the table.

"Quickly, carry the master to that side of the pier." Donkey Dan also came and shouted after him.

They all have cannons, and slave-building coins are in the sky. They can't be beaten. They can't be beaten. It's serious to get the master away quickly. As for these dead military households, it’s none of Uncle Donkey’s business.

Yang Fan was so angry that these bastards always wanted to run away with him. Just when he was about to scold them, a mouthful of dirt came into his mouth and he coughed violently. He was so shaken that he had no choice but to let them lift him up and run down the city like a swarm of swarms towards the pier.

We just got off the city wall and didn't run very far.

He heard another burst of cannon shots behind him. Yang Fan heard a total of nine shots. Including the test shot, there were ten cannons in total!

Yang Fan cursed in his heart, who secretly sold the cannon to the slaves? If I find out, I will end up with you.

Although the city wall made of sandbags effectively buffered the kinetic energy of the cannonballs, the strength of the sacks was no match for the cannonballs.

The scorching lead shot directly penetrated several sacks and sank into the sandbag wall. However, the outer sandbags shattered and a large amount of sand flowed out. After the sandbag empties, the sandbag above becomes unstable and slides downward.

With just one round of shooting, many city walls showed signs of collapse.

After a round of gunfire, reloading takes longer.

There was another cry of killing from the bottom of the city, and Jiannu took advantage of every opportunity and began to attack again. Soon the battle for the top of the city became fierce again.

Not long after, a large number of slaves relied on hundreds of ladders to force their way to the top of the city for the first time. Then there was a sound of gunpowder jars detonating on the top of the city, and Jiannu was beaten down again.

On the top of the city, a large area of ​​sandbags shattered, and a large amount of sand spurted out, forming slopes both inside and outside the city.

Yang Fan was brought back to the dock area and rinsed his face with water. The stimulation of the cold water made his mind clear. Now that Jiannu had artillery, he would suffer a big loss if he continued to pester him at the top of the city. He hurriedly said: Grind the table, give the order, Withdraw all the people at the top of the city. When the slaves came up, they ignited the buried gunpowder and everyone turned to street fighting. Use dug trenches and barbed wire to fight them. "

The clanging gong sounded again. The regiment trainers who had just defeated the new wave of slaves quickly retreated, and all the streets in the city were lined with barricades. Trenches were also dug and there were layers of barbed wire.

Yang Fan had already prepared for the final decisive battle, introducing Jiannu into the streets and maximizing the power of the musket at close range.

With another round of artillery bombardment, a large area of ​​the southern city wall collapsed. This time Jiannu successfully climbed to the top of the city along the sand slope flowing down. Arinzhe watched a tiger-head flag waving at the top of the city and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the battle for this section of the city wall, more than 500 slaves were killed or injured, plus more than 300 bandits and more than 300 civilians. Finally got it. Once inside the city, the domineering warrior is invincible. The Han people could only resist the Eight Banners by relying on the city wall.

Abdul Bayan's face was as dark as water. Although he had taken the city wall, he was not happy at all. The two thousand bannermen had lost one thousand people, the two thousand bandits had five hundred left, and the civilians had more than one thousand, and there were more than six hundred left. .

No matter how you look at it, this is a defeat. After paying such a high price for a small hundred households, he can no longer explain to the emperor when he returns.

"If you don't seal the sword for three days after entering the city, no chickens or dogs will be left behind." Abdul Bayan said gloomily.

Tu Lichen bowed and said: "Cover"

A large number of slaves have climbed up the city wall, surrounding the small community of hundreds of households. Looking from the city wall, there is silence in the densely packed houses. On the west side of the river dock area, countless walls made of sandbags are crisscrossed. Trenches were also dug on the ground.

Niulu Ezhen Aling'a waved his hand and said, "Let these bandits attack first and let's talk about the truth and reality."

The sweeping dragon rushed down with twenty or thirty of his brothers.

Of the more than two hundred bandits he brought out, these are the only ones left. Rushing down the slope of the collapsed city wall and heading towards the residential area, it was time to have fun grabbing food, money, and women.

Behind them, Nine-Headed Eagle, Banjiangsuo, and Yi Zhanggao also led the remaining bandits towards the residential area.

A little bandit with scabies who was lame on one leg limped behind and said, "Wait for me, wait for me." No one paid any attention to him.

At this time, he hated his parents for not giving him two legs, who could wait patiently for him.

He slid down the slope and saw a fuse burning. He looked along the foot of the wall in horror, seeing countless fuses burning rapidly.

"Ah" he screamed, followed by a loud bang. The entire city wall seemed to suddenly rise two feet higher. The ground was shaking. There was a thunderous sound, and everyone standing on the ground fell to the ground. Countless dust rose from the ground, filling the entire battlefield. .

Arinzhe's face turned pale, and he finished recording the cow on the city wall.

It took more than ten seconds before countless body fragments fell from the sky. A large number of officers and soldiers in the military formation outside the city were shaken to the point of tinnitus. No matter how the officers shouted, they could not hear the sound at all.

"Bastards, bastards, cowards, don't dare to fight my army, use despicable means. Let me rush in with the whole army, kill them all, kill them all. No chickens or dogs left behind." Adubayan watched another one Niu Lu was killed, roaring hysterically.

The Jiannu army, who reacted in shock, drove the remaining horse bandits into the city under Adubayan's order.

The city was filled with smoke and dust just like after the big explosion, making it difficult to see the surrounding scenery.

The bandits rushed into the village shouting and found no one on the street, not a single soldier. What is very strange is that all the doors and windows of the house are made of bricks, which looks very scary.

As they looked around in panic, muskets protruded from the small holes under the doors and from the cracks in the windows.

Wang Zongqi roared and opened fire.

Bang bang bang, a burst of musket fire went over.

The bandits fell down one after another without even seeing where the muskets came from. A bandit was shot in the calf and fell to the ground just in time to see a musket sticking out of a small hole more than a foot under the door.

"Here, behind the door, there's someone behind," the bandit shouted. Wang Zongqi shot him in the head while he was lying on the ground.

The sound stopped suddenly.

The bandits got angry, swarmed up, kicked down the brick wall at the door, and rushed into the house. Before Wang Zongqi and five soldiers could get through the hole in the wall to the other side, they were discovered by the bandits.

When they met on a narrow road, both sides drew their swords and started fighting.
