"General, all our gunners have fled for their lives, no one will fire anymore." The soldier shouted to Sun Youming.
Because the sound of cannons kept ringing, he didn't speak loudly because he was afraid that Sun Youming wouldn't hear clearly.
"These gangsters who are greedy for life and afraid of death are going to have their heads chopped off." When Sun Youming heard that all the gunners under his command ran away, he cursed loudly in anger.
He placed high hopes on those tiger squatting cannons.
The soldier took Sun Youming's hand and shouted: "General, retreat quickly. If you continue to stay, you will only become a target for tiger thieves. It is important to retreat from the fortress wall to protect yourself."
He persuaded Sun Youming to retreat from the fort wall. After all, the general would not do it. It was not good for them as personal soldiers to leave the general and run for their lives.
"General, no, I will stay here and kill the thieves with my own hands." Sun Youming said through gritted teeth.
When the battle started, everything was different from what he expected. Now that he was beaten to the point of being beaten, his thoughts at the beginning were no longer there.
No, he still has a surprise force. He believes that as long as he holds on to the pier and waits for the surprise force he sent to the sea to capture the tiger thief's ship, he will be the final winner.
Retreating from the fort at this time is tantamount to giving up the last layer of defense of the fort.
Only by sticking here can he make the other officers and soldiers stick to the fort wall. Otherwise, if he doesn't, the other officers and soldiers will retreat faster.
This was the knowledge of the Ming Army, and he knew it all, so even if he knew it was dangerous to stay, he had to grit his teeth and stay.
Sun Youming's soldiers saw that their general was not satisfied, so they had no choice but to stay.
As for the other officers on the fort wall, they couldn't leave now, because the horse path under the fort wall was blocked by Sun Youming's soldiers, which did not give other officers and soldiers a chance to escape.
The gunfire outside the fort continued for several rounds, and finally stopped, and the people on the fort wall were finally able to breathe.
Zhao Wu took out his monocular and looked at the top of the fortress wall.
Looking through a monocular, he found that there were still figures of officers and soldiers on the fort wall. The few rounds of shelling just now did not overwhelm the officers and soldiers guarding the fort.
And the will of these officers and soldiers was stronger than he initially expected.
"The battalion, there are still people above, according to the subordinates, continue to fire bombardment, I don't believe these officers and soldiers are not afraid." The captain of the thousand-man team on the side said.
He also noticed the situation on the fort wall through the monocular telescope.
Zhao Wu pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then said to the messenger on one side: "Go and find me the artillery team captain."
The messenger ran to find someone.
Soon, the artillery captain was brought back.
Zhao Wu did not give up and asked directly: "If you were asked to use artillery to blast the Ming Army's fortress, could you do it?"
"As long as there is no sand behind the gate, I will be sure to smash the enemy's gate with two cannons." The artillery team captain assured loudly.
He had long observed the size of the military fortress in front of him, which was completely a big tree, so he had the confidence to blast it away with cannons.
Zhao Wu said: "Then go and blast away their guns, and then point the cannon at the officers and soldiers on the fort wall. I will use the cannon to beat them into submission."
"Yes." The artillery team captain responded, turned around and ran back to the artillery position. ….

Artillery positions were set up in front of the army.
The captain of the artillery team who returned to the position simply measured the distance to the military fort gate, and then shouted: "Xing Da, get the fuck over here."
Along with his yelling, a man came to him.
The captain of the artillery team said to the man: "Push your two four-pound cannons forward for fifty points, level the guns and aim them at the main wall of the military fort, and blast them away for me."
"Yes." Xing Dadu agreed loudly, then turned around and led his artillery crew members to move the cannon.
The two four-pound cannons were pushed to the designated position by Xing Datu and the gun crew members.
After adjusting the angle of the muzzle, the gunners began to load and fire.
boom! boom!
Two dull cannon shots were heard, followed by two crashing sounds.
The gate of the military fort was directly shattered by two cannons.
boom! boom! boom!
The small Fran machine gun behind also fired, but the target of the bombardment was no longer the size of the military fort, but the officers and soldiers on the fort wall.
The gate of the military fort is broken, what’s going on inside (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 2253 Selfishness
It can be seen clearly from outside.
No, because artillery shells continued to fall into the fort. From outside the fort, the situation inside the fort was empty, with only a few corpses on the ground.
Zhao Wu, who was behind the artillery position, held a monocular in his hand and looked into the distance, observing the situation on the fort wall.
Although the gate of the military fort had been shelled, he was not in a hurry to lead his troops into the fort. He had enough gunpowder and cannons to consume with the officers and soldiers.
He prepared to use artillery to destroy the last resistance of the officers and soldiers, and then led the troops to attack the fort.
The advantage lies with him, so he is not anxious at all.
On the other hand, the officers and soldiers guarding the fort were different.
Although Sun Youming had asked his soldiers to block the only horse leaving the fort wall, as the shelling outside continued, some officers and soldiers guarding the fort began to attack the horse path.
Fortunately, the soldiers guarding the horse track usually eat well and exercise martial arts when they have nothing to do. However, the food of ordinary officers and soldiers is not good enough, and they often have trouble eating. In addition, they usually work hard on various errands, so their physical fitness is naturally better than that of the soldiers. Not as good as the general's personal soldiers.
The first few officers and soldiers who tried to escape from the horse path and down the fort wall were beheaded, and the remaining officers and soldiers on the fort wall became much more honest.
As the shelling of the Tiger Flag continued, casualties increased. Even Sun Youming's soldiers were hit by artillery fire and died on the spot under the shelling.
Sun Youming's soldiers also persuaded him several times to temporarily avoid the fortress wall.
It's a pity that Sun Youming has his own fight and refuses to leave.
But the other officers and soldiers on the fort wall are different. They have become officers from refugees who fled to the island, just to have food to eat or to make their families' lives easier.
If they meet slaves, they don't mind working for the Ming Dynasty.
But now they were only beaten but could not retaliate, and Sun Youming's usual intimidation in their hearts was gradually worn away.
Finally, the officers and soldiers on the fort wall could no longer bear the powerlessness and began to attack the horses again, trying to escape down the fort wall through the horse track.
This time was different from the previous time when only a few people attacked the horse paths guarded by soldiers.
The officers and soldiers on the fort wall worked hard to survive, regardless of life or death.
Just as Sun Youming's soldiers slashed and killed several officers and soldiers approaching, they were quickly killed by other officers and soldiers behind them.
"Go and stop him, you all." Sun Youming was unwilling to let these officers and soldiers escape, and urged the soldiers around him to stop the officers and soldiers who were escaping along the horse path and down the fort wall.
However, the escape of these officers and soldiers was determined. The few soldiers around Sun Youming only looked at each other, and no one moved. .
