Li Dan has been in sea trade all the year round, and he is naturally no stranger to the Francophone people.

Compared to the Spaniards and Dutch, the Francos seem to be milder. However, their artillery was not modest, and the Franc cannon was also famous in Europe.

"What should I do?"

Kuroko panicked for a moment, and asked without a master.

Li Dan gritted his teeth and said, "Continue to attack the city, don't stop!" ”

Kuroko was stunned.

"What, this is still a siege."

He thought that Xiangshan County, Xinning and Xinhui counties were soft persimmons, but he kicked a stone.

"What else can you do now? The arrow had to be fired. ”

Li Dan took a deep breath and stared coldly at the city.

"Let the green-skinned ruffians rushed in front, and those who retreated will not be forgiven!"

"Good!"

Heizi is still very loyal, and since Li Dan said it, he will naturally do it.

It's just that the green-skinned ruffians who were coerced in pity rushed to the front as cannon fodder.

These people had already scared away when they saw the horror of the Franc cannon, and many of them turned around and ran, and were slashed and killed by a few pirates such as Kuroko, and then stabilized.

These green-skinned ruffians also have a ruthless energy on their bodies, since there is still a glimmer of life if they retreat and die, then they naturally have to rush forward.

No matter how powerful the artillery is, it can't hit each of them, right? As long as they rushed to the bottom of the city, the Franc cannon was useless, and when they arrived, they could climb the ladder to the top of the city, open the city gate and loot wildly.

The thought of untold wealth and beautiful women waiting for them made these ruffians drool.

"Rushing over, the Ming army didn't have many defenders at all, so they killed them all at the head of the city!"

Scarface showed a ferocious face, scolding the green-skinned ruffians for charging.

But in response to him was the roar of cannons.

Several Franco cannons roared above the city, sending out black fireballs that tore any flesh apart.

"Shhhhh

Rao had seen a lot of bloody scenes, and Scarface's teeth were still chattering and he gasped.

But now they have no way out, so they can only go up.

"Listen to all those who have eggs, and their artillery will not be able to hit you within fifty paces. If you want to survive, hurry up! ”

Scarface said as he ran wildly.

Artillery fire is not long-sighted, and if they are not at a safe distance, they are also in danger.

Above the city, Ning Xiu quietly observed the situation.

Franc's cannon was even more powerful than he had imagined.

These cowards who had been wrapped in green-skinned ruffians had no power to resist this, so they could only rush towards the city.

Of course, Ning Xiu would not think that a few Franc cannons would be able to blast all the thieves into slag, as long as the thieves rushed within fifty steps, the Franc cannon would not be able to hit anyone.

In this range, Ning Xiu was ready to greet the guests from afar with a fire hammer. ”

The Ming army has been equipped with firearms for a long time. The three major battalions of the Beijing Division have specialized firearms armies such as the Shenji Battalion, and the same is true among the border armies.

But a county like Xiangshan County doesn't have too many firecrackers. Fortunately, there were more than a dozen veterans of the Qi family's army, and they all carried bird guns with them. As for the fifteen Franc mercenaries, they naturally also brought their own things.

This time, Ning Xiu would have thirty firecrackers to rely on.

Although this amount is not a lot, it is barely enough to deal with the pirates.

Soon the pirates rushed to a "safe distance" of fifty paces from the city walls.

Scarface laughed and said, "Brothers, we're safe." Kill the head of the city and behead the dog official. ”

For a while, the bandits howled and waved their clubs excitedly.

But they didn't rejoice long before they were frightened by a bang.

Several of them were shot in the abdomen and fell to the ground in pain.

They rolled on the ground clutching their bellies, screaming.

Scarface secretly said that he was going to suffer. These people did not die immediately, but on the contrary, it was easy for others to have lingering fears.

If you are bombarded into slag by the Franco, there is nothing to be afraid of.

"If you don't want to eat guns, hurry up and go under the city walls."

Scarface commanded as he raised a wooden shield to protect his vital points.

God knows if this thing can block a shot from close range, but it's the only thing Scarface can protect from right now.

From time to time, green skins and ruffians were shot and fell. They don't have any protective gear in their hands that is a human target.

That is, the birds of this era have limited precision, otherwise they all have to be explained here.

As for the pirates, it's a little better. They had wooden shields in their hands to withstand some damage. But some wooden shields were still shot through, and those pirates were naturally wounded.

Seeing that he had been killed under the city, Li Dan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The damage caused by Franco's cannons and bird guns was too great, not counting the green-skinned ruffians, and the losses of his group of brothers were about thirty percent.

This battle must be resolved quickly, otherwise if reinforcements arrive, they will probably have to give an account here.

"Take the ladder to the city!"

Li Dan commanded in a cold tone.

For a while, the demons danced wildly, put ladders on the city wall, and began to ascend to the city.

The so-called ant climbing the city refers to climbing one after another, just like ants.

This method of siege depends on the large number of people. There are not ten times the number of defenders, and if you use this method, you will die, and you will lose not even bones and slag.

Therefore, the siege of the city is generally combined with crashing cars and hitting trees. Sometimes tunnels are dug and water is even diverted to irrigate the city.

Of course, the most ruthless thing is to install it in the city, and the city gates should be opened. This loss is minimal and belongs to the category of intrigues.

Of course, these conditions are not available to the pirates at the moment, so they can only choose to ascend to the city.

Fortunately, the city wall of Xiangshan County is not too high, and it is far from being called a strong city.

Li Dan believed that as long as enough manpower was invested, he would still be able to capture the city.

But what happened next made his jaw drop.

Before the thieves began to attack the city, they threw down a lot of rolling logs and stones from the top of the city.

This kind of defense that only a big city can have, and this Xiangshan County actually has it.

The thieves were hit by the rolling wood and rocks, and they let out a cry of pain and fell down, and some were killed on the spot.

That's not all, the officers and soldiers even poured pots of boiling oil and hot water.

The pirates were scalded and cooked. Far away, you can smell the smell of burnt hair.

Li Dan frowned and looked at everything that was happening in front of him.

He regretted it a little.

It can be seen that the Xiangshan County Order is confident, so it will refuse Li Dan's request.

He set up a cover and waited for Li Dan to step on it, but Li Dan really stepped on it.

But there was no way out, and if the city was not taken, the lives of those dead brothers would be lost.

"They have nothing to do with these three axes. Rush up and kill the dog officer to avenge the brothers! ”
