Indeed, in ancient warfare, even with the assistance of ladders and crashes, the besieging side must have an absolute superiority in strength before it is possible to take the city, and Zhang Yuntian's army in front of him does not have any of the above conditions at all, and only relies on a group of muskets to attack? Stop it!

Although they have a powerful blast bamboo, it is a scatter attack, which is very lethal to the army, but the siege effect is greatly reduced.

Seeing that Ruilin couldn't stop nodding in approval, Monk Greenqin said again: "We can wait and see what happens, wait for the opportunity to cut off the cult's grain route, and surprise the troops to raid the daimyo's mansion, the cult has few soldiers, and we can't take care of each other, if he comes back to help, we can ambush them along the way, if he divides his troops, just break them one by one!" ”

Seng Gelinqin's plan is also considered to be thorough, but it is the first time that an army of 100,000 people has been cautious to such a point against 5,000 people.

Ruilin was just about to echo again, when suddenly his face changed, and he said in a trembling voice: "Lord... Boss, it looks like the cult is coming to attack the city! ”

Monk Greenqin's face was full of incredulity, 5,000 people attacked the city garrisoned by tens of thousands of troops? These cults are really evil and do not play their cards according to routines at all.

But no matter how evil it is, there must be some siege equipment for the siege, even if you don't have time to build a ladder, you have to have a battering ram or something, otherwise what are these thousands of soldiers doing under the city? Do you have a group visit?

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, Monk Greenqin suffered a loss, this time he learned wisely, although he wanted to break his head and couldn't understand what the intention of this cult rushed over, but no matter what the purpose was, it was not a good thing after all!

"Prepare the musketeers!" Ruilin's musket battalion had just retreated without even firing a single projectile on the battlefield, and at this time it was already full of energy, ready to save some face.

I saw that Zhang Yuntian's army rushed to a position one hundred and twenty zhang away from the city wall and suddenly stopped, and set up a long snake formation, still the soldiers in the front row squatted on the ground and raised their shields, and the soldiers in the back row aimed at the battlements with their guns, such a distance It is difficult for both sides to cause effective killing, and the Liang army was in a stalemate for a while.

Suddenly, Zhang Yuntian's army left a gap again, and three teams of soldiers walked out of it, each team of soldiers in three rows and five columns, the soldiers in the front row blocked the front and upper with explosion-proof shields, and the soldiers in the back row followed suit, forming an inclined plane connected by shields from low to high, sealing the angle of shooting on the city wall, revealing only a small slit for observing the route of travel.

This kind of formation was learned by Zhang Yuntian from the tortoiseshell formation of the Roman army, but the latter was used to prevent bows and arrows from rubbling, and he used it to attack the city by drawing inferences, and the principle was the same.

I saw that after the three teams of soldiers left the main formation, they immediately divided into three directions, the left and right teams quickly approached the city wall, and the goal of the middle team was the city gate.

Ruilin didn't know what these dozens of people were trying to do, but he couldn't just do nothing and just watch them do whatever they wanted, "Fire!" ”

At the sound of an order, the projectiles of the musket team on the wall and the bows of the archery team beckoned to the city one after another, and smashed on the explosion-proof shield one by one, like raindrops falling on the rocks, and the projectiles rebounded high, and then fell, without any killing effect at all.

Dadada! Taking advantage of the fire on the city, Zhang Yuntian commanded the troops to advance another thirty zhang, and stopped at a position of ninety zhang from the city wall, which was the effective range of the demon slaying firearm, but for the Qing army's muskets, the counterattack was a little difficult.

"Fire suppression!" Zhang Yuntian shouted.

Fire suppression? Ruilin heard this word for the first time, felt fresh, and was pondering the meaning of the kung fu, only to see dozens of times denser than his own gun team bullets flying up overwhelmingly, the hit rate of the upward shot was not high, most of the bullets flew into the sky in the air, a few bullets hit the wall buttress, bringing down a large piece of bricks and soil, even so, still frightened Ruilin hurriedly pulled Monk Lingqin to hide in the city tower.

The soldiers on the city wall were also frightened by such dense firepower, but those who reacted slowly immediately burst their brains and died, and it was not easy for the rest of the substitute soldiers to protect themselves, which one would dare to fight back? One by one, they hid behind the wall battlements, pressed their bodies low, and almost lay on the ground.

The two wings of the siege team took advantage of the Qing army on the city wall to be suppressed, and quickly ran to the city, lined up and clinged to the wall, holding up the shield to block the top of their heads, the middle team stopped at a distance of ten zhang from the city gate, and the shield in front stood downward, revealing a gap one foot wide, only to see one of them take out a bazooka, and with a whoosh, an armor-piercing bullet dragged a long trajectory and flew towards the city gate.

I only heard a loud bang, and a big hole was blown open in the middle of the city gate, the iron sheet on the outside was dented inward, and the wooden interlayer inside was shattered, and the entire city gate was shaken to the ground, and the siege teams on both sides threw seven or eight grenades into it along the hole.

There is an elite infantry guarding the inside of the city gate, the city gate was broken, which was greatly unexpected by them, but it was not the enemy who rushed in, but just a few metal balls larger than eggs, one by one, looking at each other, I don't know why, boom, a grenade exploded, and the huge air flow lifted the surrounding seven or eight Qing soldiers into the air, and many people around were hit by fragments and rubble, and they fell in an instant, and then the explosions came one after another, and the defenders of the city gate were blown to pieces.

Outside the city gate, the shouting of killing suddenly rose, dozens of divine soldiers pushed the city gate to the ground, they relied on the blast shield to rush into the city, each found cover to shoot inside, the remaining Qing army was just blindfolded by the huge explosion, and was suddenly attacked by firearms, too late to avoid countless casualties.

Fan Jinghui took the opportunity to take the Green Forest Army and rushed into the city with the corpse guard cavalry, cutting down every person, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he had already taken the south city gate.

Ruilin kept the monk and fought and retreated, tens of thousands of troops under his command lost their commander in the city, and could not see the command flag, saw the enemy attack into the city, one by one, they were in chaos, and fled, some of the Qing troops who were willing to resist, saw the soldiers wearing Qing army uniforms slashing and killing each other, and they couldn't tell who was the loyal army and who was the chaotic party.

After a while, the soldiers of the True God Sect pressed the border, and the combat effectiveness of the corpse guards was like a wolf and a tiger, with one enemy and three vultures to gain the upper hand, the Qing army became more and more cowardly, and Zhang Yuntian's army became more and more fierce, and it only took less than half an hour to take Shunde Mansion.

When the battle situation was counted, only 20 corpse guards of the True God Sect were killed, more than 100 corpse guards were wounded, the green battalion soldiers suffered heavy losses, 500 killed, more than 1,000 wounded and sick, and the Qing demon corpses were everywhere, piled up from the south gate to the north city gate, with countless casualties, and another 20,000 green battalion soldiers surrendered, captured 5,000 muskets, and countless grains and grasses.
