Since the first rifled gun came out, Huang Liuxi has been practicing 300 or even 350 steps to block kills.

The first rifled gun was broken by him, and it fired more than 100 bullets, and the rifling in the barrel was extremely worn, and there was a certain degree of lead, which was completely scrapped.

This has already been calculated, the Ming army's bird guns cut corners seriously, and they were seriously worn out after thirty or fifty rounds, and even directly exploded bore.

To this end, in order to improve the wear resistance and strength of the barrel, Qin Chuan and Li Xuejing also spent a lot of time exploring the heat treatment process, so that the life of the barrel was slightly improved, but the life still could not exceed 200 rounds.

Talent plus a lot of practice, coupled with the high accuracy of rifled guns and Migne bullets, Huang Liuxi's marksmanship can already achieve the level of 100 steps without missing bullets, and in the case of no wind, 300 steps can also achieve a hit rate of seven or eighty percent.

It's windy today, but it's just a gentle breeze.

With a "bang", a Ming soldier who was struggling to pull the rope three hundred steps away fell in response.

Almost at the same time, the other marksmen scattered in the various gun holes on the third floor also opened fire, and thirty rifled guns, after one round, fell more than twenty Ming troops.

Huang Liuxi skillfully broke the faucet, opened the lid of the medicine pool, took out the gunpowder bag wrapped in paper, bit it, poured a little gunpowder into the medicine pool, closed the lid, and then poured the remaining gunpowder into the barrel, took out the conical bullet with a wooden stopper, loaded it into the barrel, and took the through strip to compact.

The whole process is only about twenty seconds.

Immediately afterwards, Huang Liuxi poked the barrel out of the hole again, leaned the butt on his shoulder, and took aim with bated breath.

After the gunshots, another Ming soldier fell.

The sudden bullets and the comrades who fell to the ground one after another made the other Ming soldiers panic.

They didn't know what was going on, they only knew that the thieves in Ninghua had released their guns, but they were obviously three hundred paces away, how did those birds hit here?

No matter how well-made the bird gun is, it will take a hundred and twenty or thirty steps at most, and if you put more gunpowder, it will be blown up, how did the thief army fight three hundred paces away?

And the thieves were accurate, there were only thirty or forty guns, and there were more than 20 people who were shot!

It's so unusual.

The Ming soldiers couldn't understand that the more unusual things were, the more they were afraid, so they hid behind the siege towers and did not dare to show their heads.

The four siege towers either moved slowly or simply stopped.

Wang Pu and the others, who were pressing the formation in the back, also frowned, and their faces were puzzled.

Judging by the sound of gunfire and the smoke of gunfire, it was definitely not a cannon, it must have been a musket.

What kind of musket can shoot three hundred paces away and still shoot so accurately?

Just as he was puzzled, gunshots rang out again on the walls of Ninghuasu.

This time, even if the Ming army near the siege tower hid behind the tower, there were still more than a dozen people who were shot, and the bullets came from a small angle on the side.

"Can't stop, use the shield cover to continue to advance, quick!"

Wang Pu in the back didn't have time to think about what kind of gun it was, so he only tore his throat and shouted loudly.

At the urging of other officers, the Ming troops behind the siege tower ran out with shields or planks on their heads, quickly laid trenches in front, and continued to pull the rope forward with shields.

The wooden shield could not withstand the high-speed rotating conical warhead at all, and the shield was still penetrated, but the shield could barely offset part of the power of the warhead, and after being hit by the bullet that penetrated the shield, many people were only injured to varying degrees.

Despite this, it also slowed down the advance of the siege towers considerably.

Many of the trebuchets of the Ming army did not have a chance to assemble, and they were destroyed by the cannons, but there were still five trebuchets that were able to be assembled, and the Ming troops on the side loaded stones into the baskets one after another, and put a large stone weighing twenty or thirty catties at the end of the boom.

Soon, the five trebuchets were projected in unison, and the five boulders made a piercing sound of breaking the air, and smashed heavily on the wall of Ninghuasu, emitting several roars, and the entire city wall trembled violently.

Qin Chuan frowned, and hurriedly checked whether the city wall was crooked and whether there were cracks.

Thankfully, the walls were fine, except for a few marks on the walls that had been smashed off.

"Knock out those trebuchets." Qin Chuan hurriedly shouted.

The forty cannons on the head of the city soon roared again, and more than 30 shells were concentrated in the area of the five trebuchets of the Ming army, and three trebuchets were smashed to pieces on the spot, and the other two Ming troops were also bombarded to the point of crying wolf.

When the twenty Fran cannons opened fire again, all the trebuchets of the Ming army were scrapped.

Qin Chuan raised his binoculars and looked at them a few times, and shouted again: "Knock out their big Buddha cannon again." ”

The gunners quickly reloaded their ammunition or switched straight to the guns, and it didn't take long for them to light the primer again.

There were only three rounds of shelling, and the dozen or so big Francophone cannons of the other side were also dumbfired.

"Siege towers, one tower for every twenty cannon salvos."

Hearing Qin Chuan's order, the gunners turned their guns one after another, aiming at the siege tower, which was still moving slowly more than two hundred paces away, and spewed out bright red tongues of fire.

The logs at the front of the two siege towers at the front were smashed to pieces, sawdust flew everywhere, and the whole tower was shaky, and it looked like it might collapse at any time.

The vanguard of the Ming army, which had not been greeted by artillery fire, had already advanced to a distance of 100 paces, and they moved out from behind the big shield and the tiger squat cannon and began to aim at the city.

Qin Chuan's sixty little Francos and tiger squat cannons, as well as three hundred flintlock guns, were waiting for this moment.

For a time, the guns on the city wall were loud, and the cannonballs and bullets were like a rainstorm of pear blossoms, tilting towards the gunners of the Ming army.

There were more than 110 small cannons of the Ming army, and although many gunners were killed and wounded under a wave of guns, there were still 70 or 80 artillery pieces that spewed out tongues of fire, and large and small shells hit the cement city wall, making a rapid thumping sound.

The Guan Emperor army was covered by the city wall, and it was difficult to hit them, only a few small cannonballs that had gone away or drilled into the gun holes, or through the battlements of the women's wall, and a few Guan Di soldiers who were lucky enough to go home died under luck.

After three rounds of shelling and flintlock firing, the Ming gunners suffered heavy casualties, and those who did not die fled backwards, resulting in all artillery being muted.

At this time, the vanguard of the Ming army, which had not been greeted by artillery fire, had already pushed the shield cart or carried the ladder to the bottom of the city wall, and Ninghua had no moat, and a rushing car went straight to the city gate, and hit the heavy iron-clad gate again and again with a thick crashing wood.

The artillery could not be fired vertically, and the Guan Emperor army on the head of the city began to throw stones and rolling logs down, but it did not do much damage to the rushing cart made of logs at the top.

In order to be on the safe side, Qin Chuan hurriedly transferred five tiger squat guns and five small furlong machines, plus fifty flintlock musketeers to guard the doorway.

Because in order to facilitate the attack, he did not block the door hole with bricks and stones, but only used more than ten logs to cover the gate.

Under the city wall, other Ming troops put ladders with hooks and claws on the top of the wall and began to climb up slowly.

The long-range troops of the Ming army had been abolished, so the Guan Emperor army stood up from behind the female wall and used muskets, stones, rolling logs and other means to greet the Ming army who climbed up, preventing them from stepping on the city.

As the battle continued, the casualties of the Ming army increased, and the Ming army, which had been forced to the city, began to waver.

On the city wall, when the eight Tianwei general cannons and the twelve red-clothed general cannons roared in unison, a siege tower suddenly crooked, like a behemoth suddenly falling, turning obliquely on its side and falling to the ground with a bang.

The Guan Emperor army on the city wall suddenly let out a burst of cheers.

Wang Pu and others, who were in the rear of the Ming army, had blue faces and were extremely ugly.

It took them a full six days to build these four extremely strong siege towers, but unexpectedly, one of them was destroyed by the cannon surnamed Qin.

What made Wang Pu and the others' faces even more ugly was that another siege tower soon fell.

The last two remaining ones are still about 150 steps away from the wall of Ninghua.

It seems that the two will not be able to reach the city walls either.

The Ming army on the battlefield also understood this fact, as soon as the two towers collapsed, hundreds of Ming troops under the towers were at a loss like headless flies, and the Ming troops under the other two towers also left the towers intentionally or unintentionally, so as not to be stoned to death when they collapsed.

With the suppression of muskets and rocks, the Ming army who built the ladder not only failed to climb to the top of the city, but also left a corpse outside the city.

The iron-clad gate of Ninghua Institute, because there are more than a dozen logs on the top of the back, no matter how much the car hits, it can't be opened.

The morale of the Ming army was getting lower and lower.

Finally, when the last two siege towers also collapsed, the Ming army could no longer withstand it, and first sporadically fled, and it didn't take long for it to become a large-scale escape.

Wang Pu's face was pale, he waved his hand weakly, and said, "Mingjin withdraws his troops." ”
