"You bastard......!"

Bolo shouted and scolded the black-and-gray general in front of him, it can't be said that he didn't do his best, until now he still has two arrows from the "Shengwu Army" on his body.

"Humble ...... Humble ......! The general who led the charge was obviously stunned by Bolo's scolding, and he didn't know how to say the word "lowly duty" in his mouth.

Bolo gritted his teeth, looking at the blood that was constantly dripping from the other party's body, he sighed and said, "That's it, you go down and rest!" ”

But Bolo is heartbroken, one hundred and fifty chariots, so easily destroyed? It's only been half a morning! Coupled with the battle at night, the Qing army has lost more than 500 chariots! The amount of effort Bolow had put into these chariots made him feel a heart-wrenching pain.

You must know how much effort and how much silver it took the entire court to make these chariots, and as a result, this general destroyed more than 150 chariots for him with a charge. Bolo's eyes on the general were completely like a loser, and at this time he didn't know about the two hundred chariots that had fallen in Kunshan, and he might not be heartbroken if he knew.

Soon, the Qing army, under the command of Bolo, changed its tactics. For Li Xingbang's troops, who were intercepting the echelons, they launched a suppression of artillery fire with artillery fire. In the face of the relatively long-range "Franc Machine" and "Great General" artillery, Li Jubang's echelon resistance was under increasing pressure, and the losses increased dramatically, so he had to retreat quickly and continue with the Qing army.

The troops led by Li Xingbang did not stabilize their positions until the hilly area west of Suzhou City, and his losses were not small, along the way he fought and retreated along the eastern shore of Taihu Lake, and from time to time carried out small-scale counterattacks, and when he arrived at the predetermined place of entrenchment, his chariot losses also reached more than 200 vehicles, most of which were lost in the face of the enemy's powerful artillery fire.

Under the cover of the echelon, a huge sacrifice gave him quite a long time, and in front of the hilly terrain, a relatively solid line of defense was hastily built. Under the rapid work of the Luoyang shovel, a large area of half-human-high wooden stakes were erected underground, and their height was just a little higher than that of the chariot, making it impossible for the chariot to move forward.

A hundred meters behind was a solid defensive position composed of a large number of chariots, and the Qing army that pursued him no longer attacked him, but confronted him from a distance. Because, at this time, the siege of Suzhou under the personal command of Bolo had begun.

At noon, above the city head, which had been converted into a spire, the cannon fire of the red-coated cannons was unstoppable. The quality of the soldiers of the Ming army was obviously much worse than that of the "victorious army", and not only the red-coated cannons sounded, but even the "tiger squat cannons" that did not have enough range were also released.

The void trajectory roared through the winter sky in the south of the Yangtze River, and fell into the camp of the Qing army under the head of the city, where columns of smoke exploded from time to time. Occasionally, there were struck chariots in the battalion that shot black smoke into the sky. Or after the cannon standing on flat ground, the gunner, who had no cover, was killed by shrapnel.

These blows and casualties could not make the Qing army that had already reached the city of Suzhou feel afraid. The dead were dragged aside, and the new gunners were put in the emplacements, still standing so upright, waiting for Bolo's orders.

For such an artillery bombardment, Bolo was calm.

"Humph! You guys, you are far worse than the courage of the 'Shengwu Army', don't think that a few cannons can scare General Ben!"

Bolo looked at the columns of smoke as the shells exploded with cold eyes, and those who knew him well knew that such an attitude of absolute contempt.

"Pass my general order and open artillery to attack the city."

With Bolo's voice, the Qing army swaggered in the formation, and the trumpets were all over the sky. The cannons in the front row were fired in strings, including not only the Qing army's own spherical shells, but also the shells from the "Suzhou Defense Line", which had become streamlined shells with prefabricated fragments, and their lethality was several times greater than that of ordinary round shells.

Below the head of the city was the large array of the Qing army, and the cannons in front of the city launched a confrontation with the top of the city. Most of these gunners were veteran gunners who were transferred from outside the border because of Dorgon's "deeds" in Korea, and the speed of firing was not only fast but also quite accurate.

The Qing army's spherical solid "sabotage bombs" and "flowering bombs" from nearly 500 artillery pieces of all kinds fired non-stop at the top of the city, which was the siege method of the Qing army in the face of the fortified city, one by one with a considerable intensity of artillery fire to crush the enemy's morale, will, cover the siege.

The Ming soldiers at the head of the city heard the sound of the opponent's cannons, and the defenders looked out through the shooting holes in front of them.

The artillery array of the Qing army was divided into four rows, and the first two rows were smaller cannons such as the "Great General Cannon" and the Franc Machine. At this moment, their high cannon ports are constantly spewing out clouds of black and white smoke. The flicker of those muzzles was enough to send chills, not to mention the strange whistling of those shells as they flew by.

There was a "tom" in the distance, followed by the sound of cannonballs flying from far and near.

"Woo ......" Fortunately, this cannon is still some distance away, "Woo ......" The veterans heard this mournful voice, hugged their heads one after another, and arched to all the places where they could hide.

"Tom...... Tong...... Tom ......" These continuous firing sounds come from the rapid-fire sub-guns of the "Franc machine", and the veterans are not afraid that the "Franc machine" will fire more lead shot shots, or solid iron bullets, as long as they are not hit by him, there will be no big problem.

Under the strong impact of the composite shield that was hit, a shell flew into the city.

"Ahh The sharp-eyed soldiers of the Ming army finally discovered that something was wrong, this shell was not the solid sabotage shell that the Qing army was accustomed to, nor was it like the "flowering shell" that would roll around with smoke when it fell on the hard ground of the Qing army.

At the moment, this cannonball looks like it is used by itself, the sharp tip of the shell has smashed a small pit in the ground at this moment, the body is a deliberately cast square-shaped pattern, and wisps of green smoke are spewing from the back of the buttocks.

"Running ......" I don't know who shouted, almost all the Ming soldiers spread their feet and ran into the distance, when this kind of scattered bomb exploded, the fragments almost flew close to the ground, and the leg bones of the middle were broken, so the Ming army recognized it and fled.

When the words fell, the underground shells "boomed", and the fragments were stimulated by gunpowder to form a complete killing surface. In the midst of the waves, the bodies were torn by shrenchnel and scaled wounds, and a large amount of blood flowed and life was lost.

In the face of the fierce artillery fire under the city, not only the Ming army on the city head had obvious panic, but the artillery fire on the city head suddenly weakened due to the soldiers avoiding the shells.

Seeing this, the Qing army under the city shouted loudly, and the sound shook for nine days!
