As Ye Xian was seriously injured and fell from his horse, the Wala army in Helin City suddenly became visibly panicked. Several captains of thousands and thousands present, including Ye Xian's bodyguards, were all at a loss as to what to do.
There was no way. First, the Great Khan of Wala, Totuo Buhua, was directly bombarded to death by the Ming army. Now, the Prime Minister of Wala was seriously injured by a cannon of the Ming army.
As a result, the two highest-ranking figures in the Wala army were all gone. For a time, all the Wala soldiers felt very confused and extremely panicked.
What to do now?
When the captain finally came to his senses and hurriedly yelled at his subordinates to send him to the rear first, looking for military doctors to come and treat him, the Ming army's third and even fourth round of shotgun shelling had already come.
"boom!"
"boom!"
He was still lucky at first. If he had been taken away by the Wala soldiers early, he would have been directly exposed to the Ming army's subsequent barrage bombardment. With the accuracy of today's breech-loading cannons, The power of the shotgun would probably make it difficult for him to survive even a whole corpse...
But luckily, due to his serious injury, the generals around him hesitated for a while before reacting, thus slowing down their retreat, and fortunately escaped these rounds of shotgun bombings.
And this scene also made these captains and soldiers stunned, sweating all over their bodies, and feeling terrified.
They never imagined that the Ming army's artillery would now have such strong power and range!
How can we continue fighting like this?
Not to mention defending this city, if you can avoid being blown up to ashes by the artillery on the opposite side, you will be blessed by the gods!
And with these rounds of fierce shelling, Ye Xian, who had been seriously injured and fell into a coma, also woke up again amid a shock.
He ignored the pain in his body and anxiously asked the general beside him:
"Has the Ming army attacked yet?"
"Let the people in front push forward. We must guard the city wall. We must not let the Ming army invade the city!"
Several Ora generals turned pale. In this situation, which Ora soldier would dare to go up to the city wall to die?
If the Ming army launches a few more rounds of shelling, it is estimated that all the defenders in the city will flee...
After a while, someone whispered:
"Prime Minister, now that the Ming army is strong and the situation is critical, don't worry about defending the city. Let's retreat quickly."
"Yes, yes, as long as we can retreat first, retreat to the royal capital as soon as possible, and gather the other two troops, we will still have a chance..."
When I heard their words first, my heart suddenly sank, and my whole person felt a little numb. Has the situation gotten so bad?
Even the trusted generals around him were trying to persuade him to run back for their lives?
He covered the wound that was still bleeding with his hand, and looked blankly at the city wall in front of him. There were retreating Oara soldiers everywhere, and they were all rushing back to escape, and they were already in a mess.
Looking ahead and behind him, there were stumps of limbs and broken arms everywhere, and rivers of blood.
"Heaven wants to destroy me, God wants to destroy Oala..."
He stood there for a long time, and then said in a hoarse voice with great grief and indignation:
"God of Immortality, why don't you protect us and instead let these bright dogs run rampant on the grassland!"
…
"Hurry up, let these Tatars rush over to fill the hole first, and then we can go up!"
Outside Helin City, Fengzi Camp had driven away a large group of Tatar prisoners of war and began to attack the city.
Behind them, an artillery team was carrying the fifty squatting tiger cannons, moving forward with the siege crowd.
These tiger squatting cannons are much lighter than breech-loading cannons. Although their power is also reduced a lot, their accuracy has become higher, and they are very convenient to move. Two or three people can carry this thing all the way. rush.
In Zhu Gaojie's memory, later generations of Qi Jiguang's army often used this kind of squatting tiger cannon to deal with Japanese pirates and Mongolians outside the Great Wall. As a curved cannon that can shoot at high elevation angles, its power is enough to deter the enemy. .
After Zhu Gaojie used the knowledge and experience of later generations to further transform and strengthen it, the power, range, and accuracy of this squatting tiger cannon were much stronger than its prototypes in history!
Although it is not up to the standards of modern mortars, in today's world, it is already a great weapon in the military!
Especially these improved Tiger Crouching Cannons have also been greatly improved in terms of safety. They are not as easy to explode as those breech-loaded cannons. You must know that in the ten rounds of base shooting just now, twenty breech-loaded cannons have already exploded. Three doors were damaged, and nine more doors were close to being scrapped. This kind of damage made Zhu Gaojie feel extremely heartbroken.
The miniaturized Tiger Crouching Cannon is much better in this regard.
As the Ming army gradually attacked the city, due to the previous rounds of artillery bombardment, the guard strength of Oala on the current city wall was greatly weakened, and even a small part of the city wall in some places had been blown down.
As for the remaining die-hard members of the Wala camp, the Fengzi battalion did not use the divine arm bow, but directly asked the artillery battalion team to immediately attack.
Fifty tiger cannons were fired in unison, and countless white smoke was emitted. In an instant, the entire city wall roared and exploded!
Although the power of the Crouching Tiger Cannon is far less than that of the breech-loading cannon, it is still enough to kill and injure the armored soldiers, and its accuracy is particularly good. A single salvo of fire immediately completely suppressed the remaining Oara defenders on the city wall.
Then the Fengzi Camp howled and launched an attack. As the cloud chariots were set up one after another, it didn't take long for the elite forward soldiers to rush to the top of the city and start slashing and killing!
As more and more Ming soldiers boarded the city, the remaining Oala defenders were quickly killed by them, and then they opened the city gate, allowing the entire Fengziying army to Start heading into town.
Because the Ora soldiers retreated too quickly and chaotically, and because there was no one to command them, they scrambled for their lives. However, a jam broke out at the city gate, the only place where they could escape, and their way of survival was completely ruined.
Even Ye Xian himself was blocked from escaping the city gate. Even if his trusted followers roared and slashed with swords, it was still to no avail. The army was in chaos and without order. In this case, there was no way at all. No easy escape...
Then he was captured by the charging Ming army.
Of course, Fengziying saw that these Wala people were in a hurry to escape, but they were blocked at the city gate and were in a dilemma, so they "kindly" asked the artillery battalion to use the Tiger Crouching Cannon to aim at the crowd, and directly fired two rounds of volleys...
As for the one who was caught first, Zhu Gaojie was stunned for a moment after hearing the news, and then said with a smile:
"Bring this guy to me!"
