"Fire!"

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

On the frontal battlefield of Guangzhou City, the artillery positions of the mixed brigade of the Third Brigade of the People's Army continued to pour shells on the northern city wall of Guangzhou City.

Even if the number of cannonballs hit the city wall was small, the Ming troops on the city wall did not dare to try their luck, the officers and commanders dodged the shells in the best places, and the small soldiers also tried to hide their bodies.

Such a scene on the city wall, as a commander, Ren Jianxiu has no way to say anything, at this time, he should hide, and when the enemy attacks the city, he can't hide anymore, Ren Jianxiu doesn't believe that when the enemy is attacking the city, the enemy's artillery will still fire.

"Siege!"

The bombardment of the People's Army had not stopped, He Yan issued a new order, and with the sound of war drums representing the attack, and the artillery fire overhead, the soldiers of the Third Mixed Brigade of the People's Army strode forward in a loose formation with a cloud ladder that was just a good thing, and the soldiers of the advance battalion holding shields charged at the forefront, and the only thing missing was the figure of the infantry company of the firearms unit.

Infantry and artillery coordination, this is a content written by Fang Nan in military books.

To put it simply, artillery covers the enemy with firepower to create conditions for the infantry to attack, and in the course of the battle, the artillery fire directly supports the infantry battle and suppresses the enemy's targets in depth.

However, it was the coordination of infantry artillery in the case of high artillery performance, and in this era, the industrial revolution had not yet begun, and the performance of the same batch of artillery manufactured was different, so in order to prevent accidental damage, only limited infantry artillery coordination could be carried out.

Basically, when the infantry was close to the city of Guangzhou, the artillerymen had to cease fire, and when the infantry attacked the city, the artillerymen could only cheer in the back.

Five hundred meters, four hundred meters, the People's Army is getting closer and closer to the city of Guangzhou, the artillery of the People's Army has not stopped, but the Ming soldiers on the city wall have been under the reprimand and drive of the officers, preparing for battle, and the next moment the Ming artillery opened fire on the People's Army.

Burst!

A solid cannonball pierced directly through the chest of a soldier who had taken the first camp, leaving a bloody hole the size of a bowl, and the shield held by the soldier was like tissue paper in front of the cannonball, and did not play any role in shielding.

Under the bombardment of the Ming army, the People's Army gradually had casualties, in the face of the death of their comrades-in-arms, other People's Army soldiers gritted their teeth, accelerated their speed and rushed to Guangzhou City, they wanted to avenge their comrades-in-arms, they wanted to capture Guangzhou City, and later overthrow the Ming Dynasty, so that the people of the whole world could live a good life.

On the city wall, Ren Jianxiu cautiously looked at the charging People's Army, and the siege launched by more than 5,000 People's Army soldiers on the frontal battlefield made Ren Jianxiu's heart heavy.

More importantly, in his field of vision, Ren Jianxiu did not find the elite troops of the People's Army equipped with sharp firearms, and Ren Jianxiu felt that the enemy's troops were like poisonous snakes, which would give the Ming army a fatal blow at any time.

Three hundred meters, two hundred meters.

"The thieves are rushing up, don't hide, pick up the firecrackers and kill all the thieves!"

Under the shouts of the officers, the Ming soldiers with firearms came to the battlements of the city wall one after another, and pointed the firecrackers towards the People's Army soldiers, waiting for the People's Army soldiers to enter the range of the firearms, they could light the fuse and fire.

Seeing that the Ming soldiers appeared at the battlements of the city wall one after another, the next moment, the soldiers of the firearms troops, who were hidden in the siege team and wearing shabby clothes like the soldiers of the cold weapons unit of the People's Army, drew out the tiger head guns that had been loaded with ammunition behind their backs.

Aim, fire!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Accompanied by flames and black smoke, one by one lead bullets attacked the Ming army at the entrance of the city wall, less than two hundred meters away, with the accuracy of the tiger head gun, even if it was worse, at least one of the two lead bullets could hit the Ming army.

Ren Jianxiu, who was cautiously looking at the outside of the city, noticed the situation in the ranks of the people's army, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and he shouted while retracting his head: "Everyone squat down, squat down!" ”

However, as soon as Ren Jianxiu spoke, the musketeers of the People's Army had already opened fire, and in a few seconds, nearly 500 lead bullets were fired, and the Ming soldiers at the battlements of the northern city wall of Guangzhou were immediately swept away.

After the fire was fired, nearly 500 musketeers from the four companies of the division in various places stopped in place, reloading the tiger head guns and preparing for the next attack.

On the city wall, looking at the fallen Ming soldiers, Ren Jianxiu had no time to think about whether this battle would be won or lost, and continued to yell at his subordinates: "Hurry up!" Hurry up! Don't show your body! Crouch and fire! ”

"Hurry up! Don't show your body! Crouch and fire! When the officer commanders heard Ren Jianxiu's words, they also shouted to the surrounding soldiers.

The soldiers, who were too frightened to move by their dead or badly wounded and wailing colleagues in front of them, squatted down and walked to the battlements under the shouts of the officers.

The soldiers did not dare to look up, so they quickly lit the fuse and pointed the fire gun towards the outside of the wall, holding the fire gun with both hands, as for whether the lead bullets fired hit the sky or the ground, they could not care so much.

On the city wall, the Ming army opened fire, and lead bullets flew indiscriminately, causing only a little more casualties to the People's Army than the casualties caused by the shelling, and seeing that the People's Army was getting closer and closer to the city, Ren Jianxiu was more and more anxious.

"Quick, archers, shoot arrows!"

Compared to the firecracker that needs to be fired horizontally, the bow and arrow can be thrown, and there is no need to stand at the battlement, the archer on the city wall can stand in place, draw the arrow from the quiver and put it on the bow, pull the bowstring, diagonally to the sky, and shoot the arrow!

Suddenly, arrows rained down at the front of the people's army, and nearly 100 soldiers of the People's Army were hit by arrows, but those soldiers who were holding shields were not shot.

"Rush! Rush! ”

The closer they got to the city, the harder the KPA soldiers charged, and after paying hundreds of casualties, the soldiers who had first boarded the camp finally rushed to the city, and the KPA shelling had stopped, and now the infantry could only rely on themselves.

The city walls of Guangzhou City are very tall, and the Third Mixed Brigade did not want to rely on the ladder to rush up the city wall to break the city, and it took a little time to make a very simple ladder for the Ming army to attack the city through the ladder.

For the 3rd Mixed Brigade, the easiest thing to do was to blow up the gates.

Rushing to the front of the city, no one was stupid enough to continue to approach the city wall, the Ming army was ready to deal with them with rolling stones and sassal wood, and all the People's Army soldiers gathered towards the area of the city gate in the north of Guangzhou.

Braving the rolling stones and trees falling from the sky, the soldiers of the first camp with explosives bags finally rushed to the city gate, put several explosives bags together, lit the fuses, and ran quickly.

Rumble!

The city gate exploded, and KPA soldiers rushed to the blasted gate, trying to storm into the city.

"It's not good, the city gate is broken, follow me, block the city gate, block the thieves!"

Hearing the loud noise under the city, Ren Jianxiu felt bad, the city gate was broken, and the thieves who rushed in from the north gate must be blocked, and it could not be stopped, which meant that Guangzhou City was completely finished.
