***************************************************************************

The frontal attack led by Shi Lang himself was blocked.

In the first three strongholds, the artillery fire on the "Huofeng-class cruisers" anchored on the Shenzhou Army River was not fiercely attacked, and each had more than 1,500 defensive troops. However, they were faced with covered fire from 150-mm dart guns from the Great River.

Smoke billowed from the entire stronghold, and the defending soldiers quickly abandoned their duties and retreated behind the streets.

The two strongholds behind them, fairly close to the southern walls, were protected by artillery fire from those above the city. Even the last two strongholds are the strongest.

Because their artillery was not nearly twice as large as the previous three strongholds combined, and they were supported by various weapons on the walls.

The firearms above the city, whether it be artillery or those muskets such as the Rumic guns, and even ordinary bows and arrows, are much longer than the firearms on the ground.

When the first line of defense was captured, a regiment under the command of Shi Lang did not suffer excessive losses, and even the number of dead was zero, while when he faced the second line, the danger was much greater.

When the soldiers of the Shenzhou Army began to advance from the first front, they encountered artillery bombardment from Huanghe Mountain and the head of the city. Although these spherical flowering shells were not creative, the dense bombardment of ten red-coated cannons produced a lot of resistance.

But their greatest danger had not yet begun, and as they advanced to the edge of the open field in front of the second line of defense, they were met with a very strong resistance.

Above the city, the types of shells fired by a cannon not only included the kind of arrow-shaped shotguns used by the Shengwu army, but also the kind of armor-piercing shotshots that came from Chen Jin's head.

These rather stout, lead-filled shells can easily penetrate ordinary blue-brick courtyard walls and effectively kill those hiding behind the walls. In this way, the shells used against the combat vehicle were used against the personnel, which was really a fairly easy thing. Almost instantly, more than a dozen casualties were inflicted on the attacking Shenzhou Army soldiers.

At this time, Shi Lang was completely pinning his hopes on the attack above the city, and only if the attack there succeeded, the last two artillery forts could be easily captured.

At this time, the fierce battle on the head of the city has entered the white-hot battle.

At the beginning, Lu Fang's attack was very smooth under the fairly accurate support of the naval guns. It wasn't until they approached the corner of the eastern and southern walls.

The two corners of the earthen city wall on the southern line are where the resistance hub set up by Chen Jin on the city wall is located.

The first three shots of the "Franco" cannon pressed the attacking troops to the unobstructed city wall.

The three "Franc cannons" fired in a continuous series of fires, and could fire as many as nine consecutive cannons at a time. The cone-shaped shells flew away from the muzzle and were fired from the back of the paper-shaped planks due to drag.

The cone-shaped shells make a "whine" sound when drilling through the air, the lead core gives them a considerable range, and the good aerodynamic shape gives them considerable stability.

On the opposite side of them, they took advantage of the explosion of the ship's guns to rise up and attack forward, and the soldiers of the Marine Corps of the Shenzhou Army attacked the formation.

The soldiers had barely straightened up when a single shot of up to ten cone-shaped shells arrived in front of them. If it hits the blue brick city wall, it is deeply nailed into, and if it hits the person, it can often penetrate the person's identity, and can fly forward dozens of meters away.

Rao is Shenzhou Army soldiers have quite good training, and only after the soldiers who were shot let out a scream, their bodies were carried backwards by inertia and flew far away, and the rest of them quickly fell to the ground.

However, the attack of one platoon was dispersed, and the number of thirty Marines killed in an instant reached eleven people.

"Mortars fire smoke grenades, requiring naval guns to fire intensively at enemy strongholds......"

Despite the various methods ordered by Lu Fang, it was still impossible to stop the almost continuous firing of the enemy's three "Franc machine" guns.

At this time, there were not only armor-piercing scattered bombs, but also more flowering bombs.

After the 10 rounds of naval guns and the Qing army's 9 rounds of "Franc Machine" exchanged fire again, the Shenzhou army again killed three soldiers and wounded several others, and the attack on the stronghold at the head of the wall was blocked.

"The mortar came forward and bombed it for me!"

Lu Fang stared at the stronghold, his eyes almost red. The Qing soldiers hiding in the fortifications did not care at all about the fire of small arms, and the range of mortars was not as long as that of enemy fire. Although the snipers can kill and injure the discordant soldiers, it is obviously a fortification built by the defenders at great expense, and it is very strong!

A mortar slowly pushed forward, finally reaching a distance of about 250 meters from the enemy, and the first shell for positioning test firing had just fired out of the muzzle.

"Boom" The Qing army on the opposite side fired three artillery guns in unison, and the mortars were dumb almost instantly.

Lu Fang, who was following behind the mortar, stepped forward and opened the back door of the artillery carriage with a few arrows, and he was surprised to find that the Qing army's scattered bullets easily penetrated the chariot, and four soldiers of an artillery squad in the chariot were actually killed, and the remaining six were all wounded.

At this moment he picked up an armor-piercing shell, a cone-shaped cannonball, revealing a black lead core with a trace of flesh hanging from it.

"Damn, I don't believe I can't knock you off!"

Lu Fang screamed fiercely and rushed into the artillery carriage, but fortunately, the mortars and shells were still intact. The guards beside Lu Fang rushed forward, trying to drag him out of the gun carriage.

"Fuck off! Save! He shook off the guards with a loud shout and took aim with the mortar himself.

Lu Fang picked up an incendiary bomb and put it into the muzzle, "Tom...... Tong...... Tom ......"

The mortar battery was fired, and three shells with sentry hit the target almost one after another, and the target artillery burst into flames, and the regimental commander, who was directing the attack in the front, led the soldiers forward with a wave of his hand.

At this time, the gunners of the "Franc machine" guns of the Qing army, who were annoyed by the explosion of the fourth incendiary bomb, fired three salvos at the resurrected artillery carriage again.

The bodies of the soldiers who were charging fell to the ground crookedly, even including the regimental commander who was the first to stand up. The regulations of the Shenzhou Army are so unreasonable, when charging, the officers must move forward, and when retreating, the officers must break behind.

The mortar car, which had been hit again under heavy fire, stopped firing, and at the same time the enemy stronghold was completely engulfed in flames, when another wave of artillery support from the cruiser arrived. Finally, a 150-mm shell fell heavily on the stronghold of the Qing army. The stronghold collapsed with a loud explosion.

On the southern city wall, the strongholds on the west side were shooting at the Shenzhou soldiers who had just captured the eastern distance, and the Qing army artillery in Huangheshan did not stop firing with artillery fire, but everything looked so pale and weak.
