Chapter 541 The hearts of the people are scattered

At the sound of the order, all the guns on the Beagle stopped bombardment, and the gunners hurried to clear the chambers and prepare for the next wave of shelling.

However, after a busy day, the sweaty gunners suddenly appeared, and the commander Yang was far gone!

Everyone looked at each other, and they all wondered for a while - what is the fat thing?

This cannon is on the rise, so it's over?

Hurriedly inquired with the captain, it turned out that Company Commander Yang had already gotten off a small boat and went to find Chen Liuyu, leaving only one sentence: Be on alert, stand by!

Everyone immediately became excited and discussed, but some people secretly speculated that Company Commander Yang was afraid that there would be some new tricks

They guessed correctly, Yang Yuan did have a new idea.

After two rounds, there were enough solid shells smashed on the city wall, and Yang Yuan estimated that if he continued to bombard at such a high intensity, he would not last until evening, and all the solid shells on the warship would be consumed.

On the other hand, the reason why a feint attack is a feint is that no matter how loud it is, it is not a real attack, and the grasp of this degree is quite important.

The Tartars in the city have become frightened birds, and if they use too much force, if they blow up their nests and scatter through other city gates, it will be a bad thing.

Therefore, Yang Yuan felt that the effect of the feint attack was like this.

Since the Tartars themselves blocked the city gates, there will be no more counterattacks, and next, it is enough to block the river and maintain sufficient deterrence.

However, in this way, wouldn't the two main platoons he had at hand have nothing to do again?

Naturally, Yang Yuan turned his gaze to the west of the city

In fact, what he was most worried about at the moment was the safety of Company Commander He in the west of the city.

Although the company commander took the machine gun squad away, he only had half a company on hand after all, and judging from the sound of guns, the fighting over there was particularly fierce.

He gradually had a bad premonition: if the Tartars were not fooled, he continued to storm Simon

Yang Yuan is not a rigid person, there is nothing to say, he can't stick to the rules and not save him when he dies.

The fierce cannon fire finally passed, and Meng Tietou walked out of the hiding cave with his own soldiers and family members in shock.

The streets near the south gate were in shambles, littered with masonry and rubble, and the soldiers defending the city were riddled with heavy casualties, and weeping and wailing were everywhere.

Ignoring the soldiers' reprimands, some of the people whose houses had been destroyed wept and cried through the rubble on the rubble of their collapsed houses, searching for missing relatives and a little bit of belongings

Looking at the steaming pits on the streets, as well as the rubble that was still smoking, Meng Tietou felt a little dizzy.

Even when he was in Hangzhou, he had never seen such a terrifying scene, the smell of death was everywhere, and the smell of flesh and blood and urine was everywhere, and he couldn't help but feel nauseous.

He had seen the power of the heavy Franc cannon and the red-coated cannon, but in comparison, the Ming thief's naval cannon was much more powerful than the red-coated cannon, and the destructive power of the giant cannon fired by this naval cannon made him even more shocked.

He saw that some of them had died in a very strange way, they had fallen to the ground, but they were completely unscared, and they were not at all like the bodies of others who had missing arms and legs—they looked like they had been shocked to death

Meng Tietou knew that he had escaped, if it weren't for the clever man who dragged him into the Hidden Soldier Cave, he might have been like these soldiers and civilians who fled in all directions, either being hit by the fragments of the flying stone, and having to be disabled if he didn't die, or he would have been shocked to death and bleed to death.

He wanted to leave this dangerous area quickly, but he felt that his whole body was sore, and his feet seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and he couldn't take a step.

The urge to urinate, which had disappeared in the shelling, will come back, and be more urgent.

Meng Tietou coughed, called two personal soldiers, helped him to hurry to the corner, lifted his robe, and happily put a soak of water, then he regained some feelings, and hurriedly said: Let's hurry to the city tower!

At this moment, Yuji was busy counting his companions.

Fortunately, most of the brothers were not injured, only two of them were painted, but they were all flesh wounds, but one of Lord Meng's personal soldiers was hit on the head by the flying gravel, and he died immediately

Originally, he was still leading Lord Meng's mount, and when he was dodging the shelling, he couldn't take care of this beast, so he remembered that he had to find it back quickly, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain it when he went back.

In the blink of an eye, he saw the horse, lying twitching not far away.

Running over to take a look, he shook his head with a smile and a smile, and secretly rejoiced - maybe someone was holding the sheep in the chaos of the shelling, but a shell fell nearby, and the jumping projectile smashed a man and a horse into a blur of flesh and blood, and he couldn't even see his appearance, and he couldn't live.

It's a pity a good horse! You Jiren thought.

looked at General Meng again, but saw that this adult was disheveled, and he had lost his previous majesty, and he was terrified like a lost dog

Hurry up, let's go

Seeing that You Jiren was looking at him, Meng Tietou straightened his hat and beckoned.

In fact, he really regretted it, and he couldn't wait to go home immediately.

The flintgunner who has been trained hard is still outside the city, and he can completely excuse himself for not taking orders, he secretly scolds himself, what a big-tailed wolf!

However, he was afraid of being ridiculed and lost his dignity in front of Admiral Ma when he collected his troops and returned to Yamen, so he had to bite the bullet and continue to hurry with these people

The streets were full of panic, and every family was closed to each other, except for the soldiers and the strong men who kept the city in a hurry from time to time, there was no sign of them on the streets.

The hearts of the people are scattered, and this battle cannot be won!

Meng Tietou sighed secretly, this situation is completely different from before being surrounded.

Turning the corner, Meng Tietou was startled.

At the crossroads lay a corpse with a severed head, apparently a poor man - there was something suspicious in his words and deeds, suspected of being a fine work, and had only been beheaded after the shelling, and the blood had not yet curdled

Some soldiers gathered in twos and threes, whispering and talking, and when Meng Tietou walked past them, he realized that these people were not looking at them well.

He knew that from the beginning of the Ming thief soldiers coming to the city, especially after blocking the waterway from Yangzhou to Yizhen, the military spirit of the soldiers defending the city had irretrievably begun to collapse, and the shelling just now had exacerbated this trend.

Even the few family members who followed him also showed irritability at the moment.

Although Meng Tietou was born as a scholar, he was often in the military, and he knew the state of mind of this group of Qiu Ba very well, at this time, the entire city was in danger, as long as there was a wind and grass, and there was no need to attack with the strength of the thieves, the defenders in the city would rise up on their own.

An army that has lost its morale, not only can it not be expected to defend the city desperately, but also beware of their mutiny, once this gang of demon kings mutinied, they can do anything that loses their conscience

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but tighten his scalp and shivered all over his body.

However, years of experience have taught him that he must remain calm at the moment.

Therefore, he still walked forward without expression, and saw a straggler who was scolding him in the street and ordering him to return to the team.

As he was making his rounds, suddenly, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps in front of him, mixed with the shouts of men and the screams of women.

Meng Tietou was old in the army, and knew that there must be rebels doing evil, so he immediately quickened his pace and rushed over.
