Chapter 122: Preparing to Surrender

Although the redcoat cannon has a long range and is not small, it is more cumbersome and time-consuming to load.

Li Jiucheng took advantage of the interval after this round of volleys and hurriedly led his subordinates to continue to seize the time to attack.

After the red-coated artillery bombardment on the side of the city wall, Lu Weiluo began to calculate the distance with the enemy again.

Lu Weiluo's side controls more than 100 small cannons, the range of these small cannons is close, only about one mile, but the most expensive thing is that it is a large number, and it is expensive that it can be loaded with scattered bullets, and each cannon can shoot a rain of bullets as soon as it is shot, and the power is also quite amazing.

When he saw the enemy troops under the city rushing into a range of about a mile, Lu Weiliu also shouted loudly in a tone full of Western accents, "Open the cannon." ”

The Ming troops who heard the order lit fire and opened fire one after another, and for a while, the city wall was like firecrackers, crackling.

And with the sound of the city, a dense rain of bullets formed on the city.

These bullets rained down like an impenetrable torrential rain, enveloping the enemy forces under the city in an instant.

The enemy troops under the city watched as a dense black spot like a locust flew in front of them.

Then I saw the black dots getting closer and bigger, and they were overwhelming, and there was nowhere to hide.

Then you either feel the pain of drilling your heart, and the lucky point is that you are taken away from your life in an instant, and you don't feel the pain that you sent.

"Damn, there are so many cannons yet." Li Jiucheng was also the first time to see such a dense rain of bullets, to be honest, he stood behind and felt a little scared when he saw it from afar.

After such a round of artillery bombardment, if it was another unit, the Eight Achievements would be scattered, but this group of Liao soldiers still showed a strong side of military literacy, they were still not crushed by the artillery, they still withstood the artillery fire, stepped past the corpses of their comrades, and continued to move forward.

Li Jiucheng also gritted his teeth, believing that there was still some hope, and continued to rush forward with the team.

But Li Jiucheng didn't push forward for long.

Because although the range of these Franc cannons is shorter, it is relatively convenient to load, and in a few moments, these skilled gunners have finished loading one small cannon after another.

When Lu Weiluo saw it, he waved his hand again, and the Franc machine rang out again.

The familiar deadly rain came again, and the Liao soldiers in the front row also trembled.

"It's endless." In another mourning, rows of Liao soldiers fell in pools of blood.

"There's no way to fight this battle." Li Jiucheng, who just thought that he could fight again, saw the Liao soldiers falling one by one under this dense rain of bullets, and Li Jiucheng also lost confidence.

Before Kong Youde Mingjin could withdraw his troops, Li Jiucheng simply withdrew with the army.

Seeing the enemy retreat on the city wall really made the defenders of the city feel extremely excited.

"Won, won, won." The defenders of the city wall easily prevented the first attack of the enemy, and suddenly it became a sea of joy.

And the corresponding thing is under the city, Li Jiucheng is ashamed and ashamed to return to Kong Youde.

"Kong Shuai, the firearms in the city are too fierce, I see that the brothers have suffered too many casualties, so I took it upon myself to withdraw and ask Kong Shuai to punish him." Li Jiucheng saluted and pleaded guilty.

Kong Youde carefully watched the whole process of this siege just now, the number of firearms on the city wall, and the sharpness of the weapons, were also beyond Kong Youde's expectations, even if Li Jiucheng did not retreat just now, Kong Youde was ready to order the first withdrawal.

"Brother Jiucheng, what I saw clearly in the back just now is that the firepower on the city wall is indeed fierce, and you are not to blame for this battle." Kong Youde also personally comforted Li Jiucheng and made Li Jiucheng's heart settle down a little.

"Ninety percent, you feel the most deeply this time, with such artillery defense, are we sure to attack the city wall?" Kong Youde looked at the left and right and saw that there were no outsiders, so he asked lightly.

Li Jiucheng thought for a while and said, "Kong Shuai, the combat ability of the officers and soldiers of the Ming army is really average, and what they rely on now is mostly the protection brought by artillery. If there is no artillery to disturb it, the last 5,000 men and horses will definitely be able to attack the city. ”

"But if there is artillery cover, it will be very difficult, and even if it is taken in the end, it is estimated that it will be a lot of damage." Li Jiucheng did not hide it, and bluntly expressed his judgment on the battle situation.

Kong Youde frowned after hearing this, "It seems that the strong attack is a bit troublesome, so it is only a trick." After saying that, Kong Youde began to think of a clever way to do it.

At this time, Li Yingyuan, who was on the side, stepped forward, as if he had come up with some good plan.

"Kong Shuai, I have a plan, I can take Dengzhou." Li Yingyuan was very sassy at this time, and he didn't know what a famous strategist he was.

"Say it, say it." At this time, Kong Youde, who was at a loss, heard that Li Yingyuan had a good plan, and hurriedly overjoyed and urged Li Yingyuan.

"Yes, Kong Shuai, it seems that the firearms in Dengzhou are fierce and difficult to overcome in today's battle."

"But how familiar this scene is, in the past, when we were in the north, how the Jin army captured our big city, we have all heard a little bit."

"Whenever the Jin people attack the strong city, they will use the way of internal and external cooperation, and how many strong cities will collapse in an instant because of this."

"This time, we should also use the way of internal and external cooperation to earn Dengzhou City." Li Yingyuan is also very proud that he can think of such a good strategy.

When Kong Youde heard this, he slapped his thigh happily, "That's right, Jin Jun doesn't know how many big cities he has hit with this hand, and it's really good that we use this to collect Dengzhou." ”

"Alas, but many of our Liao soldiers have voted in Zhang Tao's hands, and now there are not many Liao soldiers in the city, and we can't get in touch with them." Kong Youde also agreed with such a plan, but when he thought about how to carry out the plan, he was a little worried.

"Kong Shuai, what's so difficult about this, we can deceive a group of people into the city, wait until this group of people enters the city, up and down the tradition, together in the city to seize the door, and then wait until the city brothers send a signal, and then we will attack the city gate with the whole army, and then we will not be able to attack this small Dengzhou?" Li Yingyuan said with a smug smile on his face.

"Hahaha, yes, with Lord Sun's kind person, our brothers who deceived the past will definitely not be troubled, but will be well accommodated, and then it will be much easier to take the opportunity to collude, Ying Yuan, this is really a clever plan, a wonderful plan." Kong Youde thought that this plan was very implementable, and couldn't help but laugh happily.

"After passing the order, the whole army will continue to build siege equipment and prepare for hard take."

"In addition, ninety percent, you will go and select three hundred brothers who are very skilled, and let them prepare to surrender." With a good method, Kong Youde also prepared seriously.
