boom! boom! boom!

The sound of artillery suddenly sounded, and the cannonballs flew past in mid-air and fell towards South Guam Fort.

"Fire back."

The guard of Nanguandao Fort was pushed to a safer place by the hundreds of officials around him. At the same time, he did not forget to shout loudly at the defenders on the fort wall.

There are six cannons in Fort South Guam.

Soon, the cannons in the fort were fired and fired at the tiger-shaped flag artillery array outside the fort.

However, as soon as the artillery was fired, it immediately became the target of the Tiger Flag artillery. The Tiger Flag artillery, which originally only fired into the fort, had a target to attack.

If more than a dozen cannons attack a target, even if the accuracy is a little off, the quantity can make up for it.

With only two rounds of shelling, the artillery fire of the army in the fort was completely muted.

Not only was the cannon destroyed, but even the official gunners who operated the cannon suffered heavy casualties.

"Let me shell the fort, no need to save medicine." Captain Chen of the artillery team shouted loudly to the gunners in his team.

He no longer cared whether all the gunners could hear it.

Without the threat of the official artillery, he could fight as he wanted now, unless the defenders in Nanguandao Fort rushed out of the fort.

However, he was not afraid even if the defenders rushed out of the fort.

The other guns of the Tiger Flag can also use shotgun shells to create a scene of bayonets on the cannon.

More than a dozen cannons fired back and forth at Nanguandao Fort. Soon, no more officers or soldiers could be seen standing on the walls of Nanguandao Fort.

Except for the defenders who died under the cannon fire, all the surviving officers and soldiers on the fort wall fled off the fort wall and hid in places where they could avoid the cannon fire.

"You can join the 1,000-man team of the official army." Zhao Wu said to Wang Ju.

Wang Ju stepped forward and waved the flag in his hand.

kill!

As a cry of killing came out, the 1,000-man regiment of the official army, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately rushed towards South Guam Fort.

The crash cart used to ram into the fort, the ladder for climbing the fort wall, and several other siege equipment were all brought by the 1,000-man team of the official army to attack Nanguandao Fort.

Zhao Wu led his troops from Qingniwa to Nanguandao in a hurry, so naturally he did not bring these siege equipment, but Nahai of Jinzhou City brought a lot of siege equipment in order to capture Nanguandao Fort.

Now that Nahai fled in panic, all these siege equipment were naturally abandoned.

Zhao Wu once again used these siege equipment to attack Nanguandao Fort.

"General, the tiger bandits are rushing up." A soldier who was paying attention to the situation outside the fort brought the situation outside to the guard of Nanguandao Fort.

After hearing this, the guard of Nanguandao Fort drew out his sword and shouted: "Brothers, follow me and fight back."

Install the latest version. 】

With that said, he rushed quickly along the horse path towards the fort wall.

Several soldiers guarded him and followed him back to the fort wall.

The officers and soldiers in Nanguandao Fort fought with the slaves and traitors, and were bombarded by the Tiger Flag. Many were killed and injured. In the end, only more than a hundred officers and soldiers fought back to the fort wall.

When the officers and soldiers guarding the fort returned to the fort wall, dozens of people with the tiger-shaped flag had already climbed onto the fort wall.

"Kill!" The guard of Nanguan Island raised his sword and killed him.

All the officers and soldiers also rushed forward to fight.

The dozens of pikemen who climbed up the fort wall raised their spears and simply formed a spear array to protect other people behind who were climbing up the fort wall.

The members of the 1,000-man regiment of the official army only formed a simple spear formation, so even if they gathered together, the formation was relatively loose, and there was still an open space for those who climbed up the fort wall behind to have a foothold.

Poof! Poof!

When they met each other, four or five officers and soldiers who rushed over were stabbed in the body by spears. But before the spears could be retracted, the officers and soldiers behind them rushed forward again.

Although the spear has the advantages of a long weapon, it immediately becomes a disadvantage once someone bullies you.

The guard of Nanguandao Fort was constantly fighting on the battlefield. Taking advantage of the gap where the opponent's spear was not withdrawn, he immediately stepped forward and raised his knife to slash one of the soldiers holding a spear.

The pike formation was struggling to maintain, but because the guard of Nanguandao Fort came to the front with his own soldiers, panic immediately appeared, and several pikemen in the company were hacked to death.

However, there were spearmen from behind who climbed up the fort wall from the ladder. As soon as they came up, they immediately filled the gap in the spear array and stabbed the approaching officers and soldiers with their spears.

More and more pikemen climbed up the fort wall, while the number of officers and soldiers continued to decrease.

At the end of the fight, the fort wall was filled with pikemen, and the guard of Nanguandao Fort was forced to retreat to the horse path again, with only two soldiers following him.

Boom!

The gate under the fort wall was knocked open by a car crash outside, and the soldiers who had been waiting outside rushed in.

Seeing that the situation was over, the defender of Nanguandao Fort chose to surrender.

The flag on the fort wall was thrown down and replaced by the camp flag with the tiger character flag.

Zhao Wu led the guards into the Nanguandao Fort.

At this time, the soldiers guarding the fort gate had been replaced by soldiers with tiger flags.

With the capture of Nanguandao Fort, the slave thieves' westward march to Lushun was completely blocked.

Cannons were placed in the Nanguandao Fort as a defensive weapon to defend against the invading army of slaves and thieves.

Far away near the Jinzhou Left Guard Station, another Tiger Flag naval fleet appeared at Lushun Port and began to shell the vicinity of Lushun Port to drive away the officers and soldiers nearby.

Originally, Lushunkou was prepared for ships coming from Dengzhou, so there were no shore defense weapons on the shore, and even the cannons were all on the top of Lushun's city.

The area near the port of Lushun was plowed by cannons, and Xing Chaoxi led soldiers from two battalions ashore.

The Tiger Banner's navy in Liaodong, in order to cope with the war situation in Liaodong, established a naval division, named by Liu Heng himself.

The Marine Division is divided into four combat battalions and an artillery team.

Zheng Chao concurrently served as division chief, and Xing Chaoxi was promoted from Yingzheng to deputy division chief.

The troops of the Marine Division came from captured officers and soldiers of Pidao and Tieshan, as well as the people of Liaodong living in Pidao and Tieshan. Some of the officers of the Marine Division were transferred from several other combat divisions to build the skeleton of the Marine Division.

Following Xing Chaoxi to Lushunkou were the Second and Third Battle Barracks.

They took a boat all the way west from Jeju Island and came directly to the waters near Lushun.

Lushun City is close to the sea.

As soon as the Tiger Flag Navy arrived, it was immediately known to the civilian and military commanders in Lushun City.

Since there were not many officers and soldiers on the shore, all the officers and soldiers on the shore who could escape fled back to Lushun City under heavy shelling from the ship's cannons.

Xing Chaoxi led the team from landing to appearing outside Lushun City. They did not encounter any resistance along the way and arrived outside Lushun City smoothly.

Obviously, the defenders in Lushun City had no intention of fighting with him outside the city, and were ready to defend Lushun City.
