Okay, this attack of his own cavalry was even a Tang army, and they were all wiped out outside Xiuyan City, damn it, this is not a battle at all, but a massacre!

What should I do, now that the cavalry is all finished, and my uncle was also killed outside the city by the Hauge troops, how should I deal with the artillery attack of the Tang army?

At this moment, Geng Jimao's mind was confused.

Seeing the rapid collapse of the attacking Geng army, a cold and smug smile flashed on Haoge's face.

Hmph, you still want to go out of the city to attack our artillery team, now you bastards, but what is it like to taste the death of the army?

Immediately, he coldly ordered: "The enemy cavalry has been destroyed, and the whole army obeys the order and continues to attack the city with artillery." ”

"Order!"

A man who looked like an officer shouted violently, and 30 steel dragon bombers of huge caliber immediately fired in unison.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

……

In the huge sound of cannons that shattered the eardrums, the muzzles of each heavy dragon strike cannon immediately floated crimson afterburners, flashing with dazzling golden fire, and in the dense billowing white smoke, thirty jet-black 32-pound huge jet-black iron bullets, with the whistle of death, slammed into the right side of the southern wall of Xiuyan City.

In the dull and continuous sound of huge impact, these thirty jet-black 32-pound iron bullets, as if they had eyes, hit the city wall on the right side of the south side in an evenly distributed state.

Thirty big holes appeared on the right side of the south side of the entire Xiuyan City in an instant, and at the edge of each big hole, the thick and cracked lines were as dense as spider webs, spreading unscrupulously to the siege, and the large pieces of city wall bricks splashed and cracked, and a piece of dust and mist filled the city, and the entire southern city wall was trembling violently as if it had asthma.

On the city wall, a large number of Geng soldiers who were shocked to the ears, eyes, nostrils and mouths bleeding together, everyone was shocked to the blood surged, and the eyes were shrouded in the dust and fog that choked their noses, and the city wall under their feet shook violently like a pendulum, and there were nearly 100 Geng soldiers who were unstable and young people in the city, and they fell from the city wall screaming like broken leaves blown by the wind, and then fell into meat cakes.

In the face of such fierce violence and complete death, the struggle and resistance of human beings is almost a joke.

The Geng army on the right wall to the south immediately collapsed.

A large number of Geng soldiers and young men in the city who were shocked and bleeding from their mouths and noses screamed in horror, turned their heads and fled.

Their escape was so resolute and unstoppable that Geng Jimao's guards, who rushed to stop them, were all rushed away in a twisted way, and the fleeing Geng army and young men rushed down from the city wall and horse road all the way.

When the annoyed and angry guards pulled out their swords one after another, and were about to slash and kill the fleeing Qing soldiers and young men, Geng Jimao shouted to stop them.

"Don't do it! The artillery of the Tang army was fierce, and this city wall could no longer be defended, and it was not their fault. Rather than die on the city walls, it is better to retreat and defend for the time being. Geng Jimao, who was covered in mud from artillery smoke, shouted at his guards.

The guards stopped in time, and the routs seized the opportunity to flee down the walls.

Immediately, Geng Jimao, who had a gloomy face, quickly issued an order: "The whole army retreats from the city wall, under the city wall, and guards according to the entrance of the street, and must defeat the invading Haoge troops in hand-to-hand combat!"

"Order!"

Geng Jimao's order was issued in a very timely manner, and after the Qing army all retreated from the city, the second volley of the Tang army just happened.

Thirty black 32-pound iron bullets roared in, and in the deafening sound of cannons, the broken bricks on the city wall flew like rain, and the choking dust and mist flew up all over the sky.

The entire wall on the right side of the south side is covered with dense cobweb cracks, and the damage of the entire wall has reached a shocking level, like a dying patient.

A large number of collapsed pheasant moats fell from the city wall, and dozens of Qing soldiers and young men lined up along the city wall could not dodge, and were smashed into a blur of flesh and blood, or simply buried alive on the spot.

Soon, the third round of shelling of the Don army began again.

The commander who commanded the firing of the artillery, with the red order flag in his hand, held it high, shouted loudly, and waved it down vigorously.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

……

The heavy artillery roared, the afterburns flew, the smoke filled the sky, and after the third round of heavy dragon cannon salvo bombardment, the sound of huge iron bullets crashing and the collapse of the city wall was like the roar of death, and it resounded continuously. On the right side of the southern wall of Xiuyan City, large pieces of broken bricks were splashed, and the rammed earth in the city wall flew out like rain, and the pheasant moat and the female wall like torn pieces of cloth flew in all directions in the form of Brownian motion. After a few rumbling sounds, the entire southern city wall on the right side of the city has basically collapsed and shattered, and has become a ruin.

Seeing the tall Xiuyan city wall, in front of him, it collapsed like melting snow, and the Qing soldiers under the city wall trembled.

"Don't be afraid! It's all for this king! The dog-in-law Tang army, although their heavy artillery is powerful, can only be used to bombard the city wall. Now we will form a line in the streets, and when they rush at us, we will fight them hand-to-hand. You must know that our army's soldiers and horses have always been one as ten, and they were able to kill the Ming army back then, and now they can repel Haoge on the spot! In the eyes of this king, as long as Haoge and they dare to attack, we will send them to the west with all our strength! There are so many of them now, they are just some people who buy the first place! ”

Geng Jimao said loudly and cheerfully, and finally calmed down the chaotic soldiers of the headquarters again.

At this moment, when the cannon fire stopped, a continuous horn sounded in Hauge's army.

The defenders in the city saw from a distance that those Tang troops did not send infantry to attack the city, but slowly pushed the artillery and continued to advance.

Seeing Haoge's subordinates acting like this, Geng Jimao had a very bad premonition in his heart.

What does Hauge want to do?

Isn't it, he still thinks that he can't use those terrible cannons to bombard the soldiers and horses hiding in the city?

Geng Jimao's worries soon became a reality.

A large number of infantry in front opened the way, and those Tang gunners began to slowly push the thirty heavy dragon bombarders, gradually reaching the collapsed gap.

Due to the extremely poor construction of the city wall of Xiuyan City, the Tang army fired three salvos, and most of the entire city wall collapsed, so the Tang gunners were able to push all 30 heavy guns to the collapsed place, and the broken bricks and rammed earth below just became an excellent stepping stone, raising the position of the artillery a lot.

In this way, the artillery of the Tang Army, even if it was only a flat fire, could greatly increase the firing distance, and inflict greater and more complete damage on the enemy troops hidden in the city.

After the gunners were ready, Hauge immediately went down and opened fire on the buildings on both sides of the hidden enemy forces in the city, making sure to destroy all the houses and walls in the city.

Haoge's strategy is very vicious.

In doing so, he could use the collapsed buildings to crush the defenders of the city after the heavy artillery destroyed them, but he could completely avoid losing any of his own soldiers.

Soon, the fourth round of shelling of the Don Army began again.

The commander who commanded the firing of the artillery, with the red order flag in his hand, held it high, shouted loudly, and waved it down vigorously.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

……

After the fourth round of heavy dragon artillery salvo bombardment, the sound of huge iron bullets and the collapse of buildings in the city was like the roar of death, like the rolling thunder.

In the whole Xiuyan City, there are houses collapsing everywhere, large broken bricks are splashed, the rammed earth in the wall is flying out like rain, and the roof and wall tiles like torn pieces of cloth are scattered in all directions in the form of Brownian motion, and the large pieces of scraps are smashed down fiercely, smashing the enemy troops who are ambushed on both sides and on the ground into meat sauce, and the screams are constantly sounding, which is unbearable.

Seeing such a scene, Geng Jimao, who was splashed with dust and debris, saw such a scene, his heart was like a knife, and he was furious.

Geng Jimao knew very well that if he continued to defend like this, there would be no point at all except when a group of live targets who could not resist were crushed to death.

It seems that it is completely impossible to hold on to the city.

In today's plan, the only way to survive in death is to assault the whole army, go straight to the enemy's musketeers, rely on their own close combat advantage, wipe out all the Tang gunners, and then, while the Hauge troops are in a panic, they will be defeated in one fell swoop.

Thinking of this, Geng Jimao's face was already full of determination.

Rather than sit and wait to die, it is better to survive in death.

"The officers and men of the whole army listened to the order, Xiuyan City has been broken, and the artillery of the Tang Army is very fierce, if our army wants to win, only by seeking survival in the dead, rushing out of the city, and fighting to the death with them, can there be a chance of victory. The whole army rushed out of the city with the king and defeated Hauge! Kill! “

After Geng Jimao finished speaking loudly, he immediately drew his war knife, jumped high, and rushed towards the Tang army gunners who were walking on the opposite side.

"Kill!"

Seeing that their main general was so heroic, all the Geng soldiers were greatly inspired, and they all held guns and swords, followed Geng Jimao, jumped up from the hiding place quickly, and rushed forward together.

And behind these Geng soldiers, those young men also shouted one after another, holding all kinds of weapons, and rushed over after them.

", this dog-in-a-kind Geng Jimao is a guy who is not afraid of death. It is rare to dare to fight to the death with our army. Hauge was shocked when he saw Geng's army leap out from behind the ruined walls and stride towards his gunners.

A sneer crossed his face in an instant.

"Hmph, since you die too slowly, then the official will fulfill you!"

Li Xiao snorted coldly, gave a loud order to the flag officer on the side, and then quickly played the flag, and the sound of the snare drum also changed synchronously.

When the Tang artillery quickly withdrew from the artillery, a large number of Manchurian infantry jumped out quickly, blocked in front of the Geng army that was rushing into formation, and had a face-to-face confrontation with the enemy soldiers.

Before many Geng soldiers could wave their weapons, a large number of Manchurian infantry in full armor and armed with sharp steel spears or heavy tiger swords could not hold back, and they used all their strength to wave the weapons in their hands and stabbed at these chaotic and low Qing troops.

A 4-meter-long stainless steel spear with a sharp and terrifying three-edged blood trough head stabbed towards the fleeing Qing soldiers as if they had eyes.

Being stabbed by the three-edged stainless steel spear head engraved with a deep blood groove is like being kissed by a poisonous snake, which can be said to be dead when touched, and dead when touched. Under the ferocious stabbing of the Tang army's spearmen, the Qing soldiers screamed again and again, and continued to struggle and fall to their deaths.

A heavy and sharp tiger knife, with a terrible whistling sound, slashed and slaughtered the dense enemy troops in front of them, slashing any enemy army that dared to block the front, slashing alive, for a while, flesh and blood flew sideways, internal organs splashed everywhere, like a human slaughterhouse.

This brutal and bloody hand-to-hand combat has officially begun.

At this time, in order to save their lives and for their military exploits, everyone rushed forward more and more frantically, and they were not afraid of death, rushing forward with the tips and spikes of the spears, and slashing and killing the spearmen and shields of the Tang Army behind them.

The young men in the back, although they did not dare to directly engage the enemy army, they also shouted loudly in the back, helping the Geng army.

Due to the large number of Geng's troops, in the face of this dense and powerful impact, Hauge's Manchurian infantry battle formation finally began to loosen, and larger and larger gaps appeared, and the Manchurian infantry at the front continued to be killed and wounded and fell, but as soon as someone died or fell, new soldiers immediately filled their positions, ensuring the integrity of the entire battle array.

In such a pure cold weapon fight, the army's guts, courage, organization, discipline and other key factors are extremely tested, and in these things, those Manchurian infantry who have been in battle for a long time and have been trained by the Tang army are far stronger than the Geng army.

What's more, Hauge's troops were standing in front of the artillery, in a high position, and the Geng army could only attack from the back, so the situation was quite difficult. It is precisely because of this important factor that Geng's army was aggravated by the battle damage and death.

After a bloody battle, the battle loss exchange ratio between the Manchurian infantry and the Geng army was basically maintained at about 1 to 4. As for Hauge's men, after resisting the initial onslaught, they had begun to gain the upper hand from the stalemate.

"Brothers, don't be afraid, let's work harder, we will definitely be able to kill the enemy!" Geng Jimao, who slashed and killed his head and face covered in blood, loudly cheered up his subordinates while killing the enemy.

Due to the equal strength of the infantry on both sides and the slight superiority of the Geng army, although the battle losses were far stronger than the enemy troops on the opposite side, it was still difficult to end the battle quickly.

And Hauge, who was watching the battle in the back, was also worried when he saw such a stalemate.

It's hateful, now the two armies are cramped around the city wall, and they can't use their troops, let alone use a large number of cavalry to help in the formation, so they can only fight and consume little by little like this, and this kind of battle is indeed worrying.

It's just that at this moment, Haoge heard Ao Bai next to him say in a deep voice: "Prince Su, the last general has seen the location of Geng Jimao, and now he is going to send him to the Western Heavens." ”

Haoge sighed, turned his head to see, Ao Bai had taken off the hard bow he carried, put on a three-edged heavy arrow, squeaked into a full moon, and looked at Geng Jimao, who was fighting hard, and released the string with a tense sound, and the heavy arrow swished, like a meteor catching the moon, and went straight to Geng Jimao's face.
