Wang Dehua found that although his own artillery was more than the other side, he was completely at his own loss in such a confrontation.

The other side has the cover of the city wall, and the cannon will shrink under the female wall, although its own artillery can occasionally break down a few bricks of the female wall, but it can't kill a few people at all.

The city wall near the north gate of Jingle City has long been smashed, and there are potholes everywhere, but the other party's casualties are probably less than ten people.

If you are exposed to the wilderness, at least one of the three shots fired by the opponent can cause casualties.

In less than two quarters of an hour, more than a hundred Ming troops died, including several gunners, and the gun carriage of a Franc cannon was also smashed.

The rate of fire of the Fran cannon was so fast that the barrels of several guns were so hot that the gunners did not dare to fire any more for fear of exploding.

Of the two cannons of the Qin thieves on the city's head, the smaller one also stopped firing, but the big one still roared and roared from time to time to blast out whistling cannonballs.

The generals present didn't know what kind of artillery it was, the loading speed was much faster than the Hongyi cannon, and the cannon fired was slightly smaller than the cannon of the Hongyi cannon, but the power was not much worse than the Hongyi cannon.

The most important thing is that the cannon hit accurately.

Wang Dehua, Wang Kun, and a few Ming army generals only discussed, and immediately decided to retreat, first withdraw to the camp to rest for one night, and then attack the city early tomorrow morning.

The 3,000 Ming soldiers had long wanted to run, and as soon as they heard the sound of the gong, they scattered their legs and ran behind.

But they had already run two miles away, and the cannon on the top of the city was still roaring, and the whistling cannonballs could shoot two miles away.

Wang Dehua and the others' faces changed, and the traitor surnamed Qin had a Hongyi cannon.

With the exception of the Hongyi cannon, it was impossible for any other artillery to hit so far.

After running back to the camp, Wang Dehua gathered the generals again to discuss the siege of the city tomorrow.

At night, Qin Chuan did not go to the night attack, because it was not yet time, and the Ming army must have been prepared.

Before dawn the next day, piles of flames rose in the camp of the Ming army, and they began to be busy making fires and rebelling.

At dawn, the Ming army swarmed out of the camp, built a pontoon bridge with a raft at the narrowest part of the Fen River, and divided into two after crossing the river, one was assembled on the other side of the Fen River outside the West Gate, and was collecting timber to prepare to build a pontoon bridge, and the other went around to the south of Jingle City, and assembled on the other side of the Dongnian River two miles away from the South Gate.

Wang Dehua knew that the Hongyi cannon weighed a thousand catties at every turn, and the Hongyi cannon surnamed Qin's traitor was at least eight or nine hundred catties, and it would take a lot of effort and time to move such a heavy cannon from the north gate to the south gate.

Therefore, he decided to attack the South Gate and the West Gate, of which the main direction of attack was the South Gate, and the main force of the Ming army of 5,000 was assembled at the South Gate.

One mile away from the west gate is the Fen River, and now the Fen River is more than seven zhang wide, and it is necessary to build a pontoon bridge to cross the river.

Two miles away from the south gate, there is a Dongnian River, this river was originally dry, but after the snow melted, coupled with the rain for several days, the river is now more than three feet wide, deep than the top of people's heads.

There is a wooden bridge on the river, but it is a little smaller, Wang Dehua simply let the army cross the bridge and then assemble, anyway, the other party's Hongyi cannon is at the north gate.

But less than half of his 5,000 main forces had crossed the river, and a cannon shot suddenly sounded above the south gate.

It was the Hongyi cannon again, and the whistling cannon smashed into the water next to the wooden bridge with a "bang", and the splash was more than a foot high.

More than a dozen Ming soldiers who were crossing the bridge were frightened, and a few of them were so timid that they fell into the water.

The main force of the 2,000 Ming army that had crossed the river was panicked, and they were lining up by the river, wouldn't they become a living target?

Those who had not crossed the river looked at each other, and no one dared to step on the wooden bridge.

Wang Dehua and several generals were stunned, wasn't the Qin thief's Hongyi cannon at the north gate? How did you get here?

Could it be that he did not know the prophet and brought the cannon over overnight?

"Princess, you can't let the soldiers be timid." Zeng Caofei, the general of Xuanzhen on the side, said in a low voice.

Wang Dehua came back to his senses and hurriedly shouted in a shrill voice: "Don't be afraid, the Qin thieves only have one Hongyi cannon, and they can rush up and kill >> when they are in array."

One enemy will be rewarded with one tael of silver, one thousand taels of silver will be rewarded by the Qin thief with a blade, and two thousand taels will be rewarded by those who are captured alive. ”

"Those who retreat will be killed!"

Those generals also drew their waist knives at the right time, and led hundreds of personal soldiers to press the formation behind.

Hearing Wang Dehua's words, the originally timid Ming troops were refreshed, and then rushed towards the wooden bridge and rushed to cross the river.

At the head of the city, Qin Chuan put down his binoculars, looked at the increasingly nervous Guan Dijun around him, and said: "Brothers, if they are allowed to enter the city, none of us will survive, and the Lou Fu who finally gathered together will inevitably be razed to the ground." ”

"If we block these hairs from the city, we will not only have Lou Fu, but also Jingle City, it won't be long before Lan County is defeated, and the entire hinterland of Luliang Mountain will be ours."

"Tell me, what should we do?"

"Fuck it."

The skinny little lynx hurriedly said.

"yes, fuck me."

"Fuck it."

The other Guan Emperor troops also shouted.

Qin Chuan slowly pulled out the long knife and said with a smile: "Let's kill them in a while, arrest those two eunuchs, pick up their pants, and let the brothers see what the eunuch's crotch looks like, okay?" ”

"Good ......"

The surrounding Guan Emperor troops applauded, laughed again, and their morale was extremely high.

"The general in red continues to open fire, the other artillery is ready, the enemy will enlarge the Fran machine when he enters a mile, and the small Fran machine and the tiger squat cannon will be 120 steps into it, and the musketeers will prepare."

"Yes."

The Guan Emperor army guarding the south gate had a total of 800 people and seven artillery pieces, including three tiger squat guns, three small Franco, and the red-clothed general cannon that was placed at the north gate yesterday.

Qin Chuan is not an unpredictable prophet, he saw the Ming army moving south, so he moved this cannon over.

The French Napoleonic six-pounder cannon was cast in copper and weighed more than 700 catties, and the red-clothed general cannon in Qinchuan was made of iron and weighed only 650 catties.

The firing range of the red-clothed general's cannon is only a little more than two miles, and the accuracy of the road begins to be greatly discounted if it exceeds one mile, and the distance of two miles does not need to be considered accurate at all.

This kind of erratic trajectory made the Ming army more and more frightened, because the last shot was obviously hit at the bridgehead, and the next shot was more than ten zhang away from the bridgehead, and no one knew where the next shot would be hit, and it was impossible to prevent it at all.

However, under the temptation of Wang Dehua's reward and the deterrence of the waist knives of several generals, the Ming army did not mess up, but quickly rushed across the river, and after hastily arranging the formation, 3,000 of them pushed dozens of various artillery pieces and carried a long siege ladder, and the sound of killing shook the world and pushed forward.

Wang Dehua, Wang Kun and others took the remaining 2,000 main forces to supervise the formation by the river.

After walking three hundred steps, the Ming army's big Buddha cannon stopped, set up the cannon, aimed at the city gate, and began to bombard the city gate.

A dozen or so five-foot Fran machines also stopped at a distance of two hundred paces, and began to fire at the head of the city, suppressing the artillery fire at the head of the city.

The little Francophone and the tiger squat cannon continued to advance with various large shields, wanting to enter a hundred paces and then attack with artillery.

But when they advanced to only one hundred and twenty steps away from the city wall, there was a sudden cannon fire on the top of the city, and six tiger squat cannons and small Furang machine guns spewed out tongues of fire in unison, and six cannons penetrated into the crowd of Ming troops.

The Ming army was in a commotion, the pace under their feet stagnated for a moment, and under the reprimand of the general, they continued to advance with various shields.

After a hundred paces, more than 30 small Francos and tiger squat cannons were also set up, and they fired cannons one after another, killing and wounding the rebels in the city.

The remaining more than 2,000 Ming troops continued to approach the city wall with shields and dozens of ladders.

At this moment, there was a sudden burst of gunfire on the head of the city, and the forty flintlock pistols guarding the south gate rang out in unison.

The next moment, a miserable scream sounded outside the city, and more than a dozen Ming troops fell in an instant.
