The Tiger Squat Cannon was not filled with shells, but iron sand and gravel, and when the fuse was lit, the scattered bullets sprayed were swept away, which was more deadly than Fang Cai's shot.

In an instant, the Qing army's auxiliaries and civilians fell together, and even those Qing soldiers who were eager to try such a scene were shocked a lot.

The intensity of the Ming army's shooting was beyond their understanding, and such a dense killing caused an exclamation from the Qing army. This is unavoidable, and the Ming army has not experienced high-intensity firearms shooting in the history of the Ming army - Qi Jiguang's car artillery battalion and even those car and artillery battalions trained by the Guanning Army are second to none in terms of firepower intensity. However, the former has completed his life brilliantly, and the legendary army created by him has been drowned in the deep pool of the system; And the latter, whose courage no longer exists, repeatedly deceived the Qing army out of ammunition outside the firing range and poured fire into the air, as it was.

This time, the calmness of the Ming army is unbelievable, and the Qing army is on the side of the siege, and it is inevitable that more flaws will be exposed. The sudden killing and wounding made the Qing army a setback, but with the sound of war drums, the drums marched forward, and there were still feudal soldiers behind them as the backing, the Qing army regained its courage and launched a new round of attack.

At this juncture, the artillery of the Qing army was also ready, and the return fire began, and the shells swept sparsely across the impact slope, only one shell hit the moat and splashed a splash.

The nervousness, the empirical aiming method, and the lack of all-round preparation like the Ming army made the shooting very ineffective. However, this is only the first test firing, and no one will take it seriously, and the next thing is nothing more than to readjust the angle and direction of the shot, and reload.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a series of artillery bombardments suddenly broke out in the main fort of the Ming army, and the artillery that was obviously a level larger in caliber was aimed at them.

The black trajectory flashed above the heads of the Ming troops who shot on the Half Moon Fort, and the heads of the Qing troops who were advancing bravely on the impact slope. Splitting his head and covering his face, he bombarded the artillery position of the Qing army.

The accuracy of the smoothbore cannon was limited, and it was also inevitable that Rao was more prepared by the Ming army. The shells swept through the area of the Qing artillery position, and most of them were like their opponents, but one of them smashed directly on an unopened powder keg, and the position of the gun crew and one of the neighboring guns turned into a sea of fire.

In the flames, the members of the Qing army's artillery crew were ignited in an instant. At this moment, the gun commander, gunner, loader, and auxiliary soldiers, under the blazing fire, were treated equally.

Screaming and wailing, the flames quickly subsided due to the lack of sufficient combustibles, but the lit candles were still fleeing, rolling, trying to extinguish the spirits that were devouring them, only to drain their vitality in this senseless struggle.

The explosion in the rear, the movement is really not small, but the front line of the impact slope, the battle has entered a white-hot stage, whether it is the Ming army or the Qing army, neither side has the time to pay attention to these.

At this time, several lookouts have been blown down, and there are still a few scattered ones, and it is obviously only a matter of time. The Ming army did not shoot at the longest distance, which was a key factor in the geometric increase in the hit rate, but it was also a great danger to let the Qing army approach, and when the Qing army concentrated its forces to launch a fierce attack, the firepower of the Half Moon Fort alone was bound to be overstretched.

After paying for the loss of two watchtowers and several rushing carts, the Qing army easily pushed one rushing cart to the bank of the moat. This is the area between the two Half Moon Forts, and the Ming army has not poured much firepower, except for the acute angle structure extending from the main fort in front of it, which looks a little oppressive, it is the safest place at this moment.

The Qing army did not hesitate to push the chariot into the moat, the wooden body of the car, especially the top used to defend against arrows, was very strong, led by a Qing saber and shield soldier jumped up, and crossed the moat in three or two steps, which caused a cheer.

Such a warrior is the most able to boost morale, so the feudal army always rewards the first to ascend to the merits is always extremely rich. However, the sword and shield soldiers rushed through the moat and put on a posture of holding a shield to cover the follow-up Qing army, but in front of them was a flat and straight to the main fort, but there were still five or six meters of fort wall to climb, and the city gate was two or three meters higher than this area, and it was connected to the rear of the Half Moon Fort by a wooden bridge.

This was a monolithic defensive structure, and it was a relatively safe bridgehead, mainly due to the fact that the Qing army put great pressure on the Half Moon Fort on the front. But if he wanted to continue to advance, he was obviously exposed to the multi-directional fire of the Ming army, and even at the moment when the Qing troops who followed him crossed the moat, above the acute angle where the main fort extended, the Ming army's shooting poured out without warning......

Condescending shooting, this is really a passive beating for the cold-weapon army with knives and guns as the main body. With the collapse of the last watchtower, the morale of the Qing army could no longer be maintained, and it receded like a tide on the impact slope, and the Ming army gave a symphony of guns as a final gift.

The first day of the offensive lasted only one round before it came to an end, and the feudal soldiers sitting behind the two Green Battalions did not move lightly, nor did they stop the retreat of the Green Battalions, and the army was withdrawn and returned to the camp.

Back in the camp, Huang Yingjie and Zhang Daoying were so depressed that they wanted to stick their heads into the ground. The soldiers and horses of their two towns launched an attack on the two fortresses at the same time, and as a result, one after the other was defeated, and after the battle, the statistics showed that even if there were no less than five or six hundred soldiers, it had exceeded one-tenth of the casualty line. And all this is only the soldiers, about the auxiliary soldiers, about the casualties of the forcibly recruited people, it is a number that they do not want to touch.

On the other hand, their results were nothing more than a few pontoon bridges made by pushing the moat by rushing carts, and as for the damage to the Ming army, almost all of them were caused by the shooters on the lookouts, which was negligible.

"This surnamed Chen is too yin."

Huang Yingjie and Zhang Daoying organized the officers and non-commissioned officers who arrived at the front line, drew the specific shape of the fort's periphery into the map, and presented it to Geng Jimao.

In the big tent, the two green battalion generals looked depressed and didn't dare to say much, but Xu Degong was a cronie of Geng Jimao's son Geng Zhongming for many years.

Unlike the Chinese-style city wall, which takes into account the effect of military fortress and protection of the city, the fortress built by the Ming army this time is purely militarized, and what is more troublesome is that the defense system composed of the impact slope, the moat, the half-moon fort, the main fort and a series of defensive structures attached to it can be seen through today's battle, which is clearly to better exert the power of firearms.

The condescending shooting, most of the Qing army's men and horses and most of the time were in a passive situation of being beaten, which was very uncomfortable. Especially once the moat is crossed, it is likely to face a multi-angle flanking attack, which even the two green battalions have not been able to test the Ming army's firepower network too effectively.

"The angle between the two fortresses will definitely be attacked by the two fortresses, and you must not start from here."

"I want to break the main fortress and take these small fortresses at the front. It looks like there are two floors inside, but there shouldn't be many troops, but the slope and moat are disgusting. ”

"What the company commander said is very true, it is still necessary to take the small fortress first, and then attack the main fortress. And the key to capturing the small fortress is on the moat, which must be filled in. ”

“……”

It will definitely not work to fight like this, it is nothing more than sending death in vain. Although the lives of the Green Battalion soldiers are not valuable, there is no need to consume the Qing army's vital strength in Guangdong for this purpose.

Pointing to the map, Lian Decheng and Xu Degong said a word, I said a word, and poured out all the thoughts for Geng Jimao's reference. And Geng Jimao didn't care about despising the generals of the green camp at this time, so he called Huang Yingjie and Zhang Daoying together to try to find some flaws in the fortifications on the periphery. In this way, it is two hours of work. Two hours later, all the generals were dry-mouthed, but they finally figured out some tactics to deal with.

Geng Jimao didn't care how many green battalion soldiers died, at this moment, he had learned a lesson with these sacrifices, but it was still beneficial: "Rest for two days and continue to build siege equipment." Two days later, only the north fort was attacked, and the south fort was monitored by cavalry. This time, the company commander led the troops, and our soldiers of the Jingnan Domain taught a good lesson to Haikou. ”
