For a whole day, no one spoke, looking at the defeated Shun army, from Liu Fangliang to the leaders of his subordinates, all of them looked at each other and were speechless.

Seeing that they are about to break through the formation of the official army, they can be defeated no matter how they say defeated.

The big guy's face was ugly, but everyone was silent.

After sweeping around, Liu Fangliang said:

"Is there anyone else going into battle?"

The rest of the generals, you look at me, I will look at you again, and no one has spoken.

"How capable are we, when we crossed the Yellow River, went down to Zhangde, and took Baoding all the way from the south to the north, the officers and soldiers were not frightened when they saw us, but now it's good, and one by one they have become dumb."

The one-eyed dragon said from the side:

"Master Liu, this dog officer and soldier not only has fierce firearms, but also fights all of them without dying, just looking at that posture, even if we put the old battalion soldiers on top, it may not be used! You can't fight such a battle! ”

"What is the strength of firearms? What's the big deal about the fierce soldiers. ”

Liu Fangliang snorted and said.

"Let's send all the men and horses up to see if they have more artillery or more people, even if they are tired, they can be tired to death!"

That being said, but who's on this time? For a moment everyone fell silent.

Seeing that everyone was cowering, Liu Fangliang said:

"What's the big deal, it's just a homeless starving soldier, are there still fewer homeless people in this world? After the city is laid, the people and property in the city will not be ours! ”

Hearing him say this, everyone suddenly became impatient, after all, this time they went on a northern expedition, but they really didn't rob the people. Even the gentry didn't have it, and when they heard that the capital was being tortured, they suddenly felt that they had lost a lot. It's not too late to kill the rich and help the poor!

Besides, as General Zhi said, there are no homeless people in the world?

With the homeless there are also soldiers!

No big deal, so the thieves attacked again.

With the experience of two attacks, they already knew what to do, and they did not swarm to kill them as before, Liu Fangliang, as a veteran of the battlefield, repeatedly used a cart loaded with gunpowder to blow up the deer of the official army, leaving them no time to repair at all. Gunpowder, that thing we have a lot of commissions, both sides of the Yellow River are full of saline-alkali land, in winter to sweep the nitrate, torment has always been the livelihood of the common people to supplement the family, just a Zhangde a year to produce hundreds of thousands of pounds of nitrate, with nitrate and worry about no gunpowder, and the gunpowder seized along the way is how much gone.

Looking at the deer that was constantly blown up into the sky in the violent explosion, Zheng Sen's expression became more and more solemn.

"Battalion commander, I estimate that the purpose of the thieves for a while is probably to blow up the deer first, open the passage, and then swarm up, two fists are hard to beat four hands, the brothers outside are tired enough, I think it is better to retreat into the city."

Zheng Sen nodded.

"Let them in......"

After receiving the order, Li He, who was on the periphery, immediately led the brothers to retreat into the city, and there was no need to open the city gates, and it was enough to put some ladders on the city.

Seeing from the telescope that the official army was retreating, some strategists immediately suggested taking the opportunity to attack the city, but Liu Fangliang shook his head and said.

"When we get closer, everyone will almost go to the city. When they all go up, let's take their trench first. ”

Although the Ming army took the initiative to retreat, Liu Fangliang still had a feeling that hope was in front of him.

However, this hope was soon dashed with the beginning of the siege, and the thieves just entered the trenches left by the Ming army, and they entered the range of rifles, almost when they just poured out of the trenches, carrying ladders and other siege equipment to attack the city, with a burst of gunfire like beans, accompanied by the sound of artillery, bullets, shotguns like raindrops, overwhelmingly hit the thieves, and a large number of thieves who were charging immediately fell.

When a salvo is fired, it takes time to reload after each round, and there is a short buffer time, so the quicker thieves will take the opportunity to dodge or lie on the ground to avoid the shells, and then rush forward after the shelling, and so on.

Compared to the artillery infantry, which fired more intensively, they lined up on the city walls to fire alternately. The density and rate of fire were far beyond the imagination of people in this era, and under the dense rain of bullets, the thieves fell in pieces, and when the 14 mm conical low-concave lead bullet hit the body, it deformed and twisted in the body of the wounded, and when the bullet flew out of the body of the wounded, it often tore a bloody hole the size of a palm. Even if it was only a shot in a non-critical place, the injured person could only struggle in despair, allowing the blood to flow.

The artillerymen fired a wide range of shotguns, and although the power of the shotguns was slightly insufficient for the armored soldiers when fighting against the Kennu, the lethality was extremely impressive in the face of the thieves who were only wearing a layer of cloth, and the gunners were aiming at the stray shells in groups.

After each round of shotgunning, the thieves would be swept down in a large area, and in the patches of corpses, countless wounded screamed in pools of blood, and the blood beneath the walls stained the ground red.

Although the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, the choking smoke was still mixed with thick blood, and even mixed with a disgusting stench, which was the smell of the broken stomach, and every step of the thieves' siege was stained red with blood, but despite this, they still withstood the rain of bullets, carrying the ladder to attack the city wall, and when they finally climbed the ladder, the warriors aimed at the back of the thieves from the battle shed on the city wall, the triangular wooden shed that stretched out from the city wall, When they saw the bandits gathering on the city walls, they dropped grenades.

In a violent explosion, swaths of thieves fell.

Offensive!

Although driven by the old soldiers in the back camp, those ant-attached hungry soldiers could only rush forward desperately, braving the rain of bullets and bullets to kill the city wall, but in the face of bullets in their backs and violent explosions under their feet, the instinct for survival still drove them to find a way not to become cannon fodder.

Finally, there are some smart people who begin to carefully avoid the rain of bullets, they are not as desperate as others rush to the bottom of the ladder to die, smart people will live, just find a way to dodge the bullets of the officers and soldiers, as for the siege of the city...... It doesn't matter.

On the battlefield, in the face of the test of life and death, people learn quickly, and soon, there are more and more smart people, however, it is at this time, under the fierce fire of the defenders on the city wall, the will of the thieves still collapses, even if there are old pawns behind them to supervise the battle, even if it is the old pawn of the rear camp The knife will be cut directly to their bodies, but many people are still desperate, turned around and fled, those smart people are also mixed in, of course, they survived, only some unlucky people in the rout, was shot in the back by the guns of the officers and soldiers, and fell on this blood-soaked land,

Another round of firing was fired, killing hundreds of thieves again, and then the fire stopped.

Liu Fangliang was not angry about the rout of the hungry soldiers, he had long been accustomed to it, and it was no big deal.

When I fought with the champion in the past, when was it not like this, what did those cannon fodder do, wasn't it just to test the officers and soldiers?

Even if the current casualties are indeed beyond his imagination, all this is acceptable, at least he has now figured out that the strength of the official army is far beyond his imagination.

"Hurry up and remind the emperor to pay attention, this job is different from the officers and soldiers in the past."

Not only are they different, they are fundamentally two completely different categories, and the champions who have been brave and good at fighting in the past have not been encountered. But it is the first time I have encountered such a champion as the champion in front of me, who is not only brave and good at fighting, but also has powerful firearms, beyond people's imagination.

Especially their firearms, that's pretty powerful.

Again, Liu Fangliang looked at the officers and soldiers in the distance with some envy. If you have these firearms in your hands, you will not be able to capture the city you are defending.

"It's a pity, it's a pity......"

Thinking in his heart that it was a pity, Liu Fangliang saw that the hungry soldiers in front had collapsed, so he could only order the Ma army and the old battalion soldiers to withdraw.

What's more of a pity?

It was these tens of thousands of people who died in vain. Even he didn't care about the hungry soldiers. But with more than 10,000 horses missing, how could it not be a headache?

Headache...... No matter how much my head hurts, this city will be attacked.
