The trumpets sounded, the drums shook the sky, and the left vanguard town led by Shi Lang rolled forward. The 2,000 soldiers of the Left Pioneer Town Department can be said to be equal in number compared to Wu Liuqi's 2,000 or so regimental training.

Attacking the camp is different from attacking the city, Shi Lang did not prepare any lookouts, rushing cars and ladders, all of his troops were veterans who had fought in the bloody battle of Liangguang for many years, and at this moment he was marching forward with neat steps, and even Chen Kai, who was in the distance, had to admire from the side.

Wu Liuqi's troops are much stronger than Jianglong's weapons and equipment, not to mention that Wu Liuqi was an officer in the Ming army, and he is more knowledgeable, only to mention that he was the chief officer of the Fengshun Battalion, and later occupied the key place of Sanheba, and the income per year and the firearms that can be obtained are not what the former can imagine.

At this moment, the artillery of the besieging side of Dapu County sang a one-man show, but here, as the left pioneer town continued to approach, the first round of artillery bombardment sounded behind the formations of both sides.

The cannons roared, the cannonballs whizzed, and after cutting through the parabolas above the last remaining plum blossom piles, they crashed into the arms of the other side.

In front of the iron cannonballs, whether it was the antlers, the horses, or the newly strengthened walls of the camp, they were all as brittle as paper, and they were wrapped in the bomb craters and smashed into the group training behind the wall.

The clods of soil were swept over, the nose was blue and the face was swollen, the bamboo and wood were flying sideways, the bones were broken and the tendons were broken, and from time to time there were shells that directly hit the wall, and they were pierced together with the regimental exercises behind.

In contrast, the number of artillery under Wu Liuqi's department was less, and the firing range could not be compared with the local tyrants such as the Zheng family, who had always used large-caliber naval guns to attack the city. However, although the larger-caliber guns that had always been regarded as treasures by Wu Liuqi were not very accurate, they occasionally rolled into the crowd, and in just an instant, there were several casualties, and the wails sounded like the opponents on the other side of the camp.

Inside the camp, most of them are still hidden within the walls made of wood and bamboo, but in the face of casualties and the regimental archers who are waiting in the distance, Zuo Xianfeng Town has not changed in the slightest, and is still moving forward expressionlessly in the sound of war drums.

When it was about one hundred and fifty steps, there was no need for Shi Lang and those middle and senior officers to command, and the officers at the grassroots level gave orders without hesitation, and the sword and card players in the front row raised their rattan cards one after another, and the shield array covering their bodies and robes behind them was formed in the process of advancing.

The order to "raise the card" had just been answered, and at this time, on the side of the camp, the archers of the regiment also launched a projectile against the enemy in the distance.

The arrows flew up from behind the wall, reaching the top of the parabola, where they ran out of force and fell again under the drive of inertia and gravity. And those arrows that shot straight out of the cracks in the wood of the wall, with a relatively smooth trajectory, rushed straight towards the battle formation of the left vanguard town.

The first round of shooting was very bad, and almost no arrows could reach the range of the battle array, let alone effectively kill the soldiers of Zuo Pioneer Town, leaving only a place of arrows stuck in the ground, like falling feathers.

Next, the shaft of the arrow was broken, the tail feather was defiled, the arrow disappeared into the soil, and some were just pairs of large feet passing by. Foot bow shooting is not like a bird's gun, if it is not a round shot, it will take time to reload, just wait for a little respite, the second round of soaring into the sky, in an instant hit the rattan shield array.

The rattan is light, but the area is not small at all, and the soldiers in Zuo Vanguard Town are basically veterans, and what should be done in the battle array, and what is the angle of holding the shield at what time, it has long been integrated into the blood.

When the arrow swept over, there was a burst of crackling on the rattan card, and sometimes there was a fluke through the crack of the rattan card, inserted into the body of the soldier, and immediately there would be a soldier to supplement it, as far as possible to maintain the integrity of the shield array.

The army was still advancing in a rain of arrows, and after a moment's break, the archers of the left vanguard town fired back from behind. When approaching the shallow ditch in front of the camp, the antlers in front of the village have been scattered, and even the wall of the village has been damaged. But at this moment, Zuo Xianfeng Town did not rush to charge, but stopped in the rain of arrows.

A moment later, the artillery was pushed to the front, and the gunners were covered by the big shieldmen, and a moment later, with the sound of a roar, the wall in front of them was immediately reduced to a thousand holes.

"Kill the thief!"

Inside the wall, the stumps and arms are broken, and the blood flows like a river, and there is no incongruity with the tattered antlers and the scarred wall. The wailing, the cries, the cries of the chaotic crowd, the cries of vain attempts to save the decline seemed humble and low.

Outside the wall, Shi Lang's handsome flag pressed forward, and the non-commissioned officers of the brigade crossed the artillery under the leadership of the grassroots officers. The arrows shot in the camp have been sparse, and dozens of steps forward are the shallow ditches dug by Wu Liuqi in a hurry, the depth of the left side of the pioneer town is shallow, and the side close to the camp is slightly deeper, but it is only the height of a jump.

"So shallow, what's the use?"

This thought just popped into Shi Lang's mind, but he saw that the soldiers who jumped into the shallow ditch first let out screams and wails one after another. With experience, even if Shi Lang couldn't see the situation inside, he guessed a few points. In fact, as expected, this shallow ditch is not just a semi-finished product that is not dug deep enough and has no water diversion, at least Wu Liuqi has done a layer of processing on this semi-finished product, but it is more insidious than direct water diversion.

Inside and outside the wall, the screams came and went, and the soldiers who jumped off the shallow ditch were all holding their left or right feet, looking in horror at the straw sandals, socks, and bamboo sticks that had passed through them, and there were still blood beads and even torn muscle tissue on the bamboo skewers that had passed through them.

Under the shallow ditch, there were already many screaming soldiers, and the distance between the front and back could not support a jump, so they could only slide slowly down from the edge, wading through the position of bamboo sticks, and finally climbing to the side close to the camp.

The shallow ditch is paired with bamboo skewers, and these seemingly inconspicuous arrangements have really slowed down the attack momentum of Zuo Pioneer Town. On the battlefield, what time means, a veteran like Shi Lang can be said to be very clear. However, the army is already like this, and no matter how much he wants to readjust, he doesn't have a good chance.

"The order goes down, and the soldiers who have gone up to the trench line up to cover the rear team, and they must not rush into it rashly."

At this point, in fact, there is no need for Shi Lang to remind that the officers and non-commissioned officers on the front line are all experienced, and as soon as they get on the side of the shallow ditch, they will immediately line up with a license.

Gradually, there were more and more officers and soldiers on the side of the shallow ditch. But at this moment of respite, the inside of the camp seemed to have recovered from the chaos, and when the camp gave an order, a team of firecrackers suddenly appeared in the largest gap, and the muzzle of the black hole was undoubtedly aimed at the soldiers of the left vanguard town who were in front of the shallow ditch.
