The Japanese on the city wall were waiting for them, and then they heard the rumbling of cannonballs, which pierced the sky and fell on the city walls, followed by an earth-shattering explosion.

For a moment, the entire city wall was filled with the sound of explosions.

After so many years of improvement, especially in the flowering shell, the Ming artillery has made great progress. For a time, the whole battlefield was filled with the sound of artillery, and the speed of artillery bombardment was very fast.

There were explosions everywhere on all four walls, and cannonballs poured into them as if they didn't want money.

The armament division of the Ming Dynasty has always been producing cannons and shells, especially artillery shells, for so many years, in addition to training, there are few large-scale artillery battles, so the Ming Dynasty has accumulated a large number of shells.

This was the first saturated artillery battle of the Ming Dynasty.

You must know that the positioning of the eastern battalion and the western battalion in the capital is different, and the western battalion is more inclined to fight with the grassland, so their training and tactics are basically all formulated to cooperate with cavalry operations.

The Eastern Battalion was different, they were more for field infantry and siege warfare.

Now the power of this training is revealed, first of all, the artillery, their artillery is very accurate, the explosion points are basically on the head of the city, and the bombed earth and stones on the city wall are splashed.

Countless bricks and stones were blown away, and all the pirates on the city walls were blown up, shouting in a heap.

Governor Konishi ran down the city with a black face, and the junior officers of the Japanese Kou also shouted and beckoned everyone to take shelter, but the speed was not so fast, and the artillery fire on the four walls was really crazy.

Outside the city, Cao Wenzhao's ears were rumbling cannons, and the telescope in his hand looked over, and there was gunsmoke everywhere.

"Are the death squads ready?" Cao Wenzhao glanced at He Renlong beside him, and asked with a serious face.

The Daming death squad is basically the most elite soldiers in the army, and only the strongest have a chance to enter the death squad. Whether it is military pay or treatment, all are the best in the whole army.

Everyone is also proud to have entered the death squad, and there is already a trace of special forces.

He Renlong sneered and put down the binoculars in his hand: "Ready, I will personally take the death squad up!" ”

Cao Wenzhao nodded, he didn't stop He Renlong, Cao Wenzhao's eyes never left the telescope, he stared closely at the walls of Pyongyang, ready to give the order to attack the city at any time.

"Collapsed!"

Cao Wenzhao saw that the wall of Pyongyang had collapsed, and immediately shouted: "On the death squad, bring explosives bags to blow up the gap, clear the road, and prepare for the cavalry to enter the city." ”

"Command the infantry battalion, once the cavalry enters the city, attack it directly!"

In fact, although Pyongyang is an important city in North Korea, its walls are really not as strong as those built. Coupled with the fact that there has been no war for so many years, North Korea's armaments are in ruins, not to mention the construction of city walls.

The old walls of Pyongyang could not withstand such heavy artillery, and after two rounds of shelling, the walls had been blown out of the breaches.

With Cao Wenzhao's words, the death squad rushed directly out of the military formation and rushed towards Pyongyang City, the cavalry was also ready in the back, and the infantry regiment and battalion were also ready to support at any time.

The captain of the death squad is named Chang He, and he is the son of the Chang family of Huaiyuan Marquis.

However, he is not a descendant, but a side branch, and he was able to enter the death squad and become the captain, because of Changhe's bravery. At this time, Chang He was holding an explosive bag in his arms and rushed directly to the gap in the Pyongyang city wall with the death squad.

Inside the city walls, the Japanese also discovered that the city wall had been blown up with a large hole.

"Quick, quick, plug the gap!" Kuroda Nagamasa was frightened enough, and loudly beckoned his subordinates to go up, although shells fell from time to time, but now he couldn't take care of it.

Once the gap is widened and the Ming army rushes in, it will be all over.

Seeing the death squad rushing up, Cao Wenzhao said loudly: "Order the artillery, the artillery fire is extended, give me a cannon shot into the city, if it blows up my own people, I will send them all to wash the toilet." ”

The herald replied loudly: "Yes! After saying that, the flag was played.

After seeing the flag, the artillery did not slack off at all, the artillery fire began to extend to the inside of the city, and there was basically no landing point outside the city wall, and the death squad also killed the city at this time.

"Put explosives!" Chang He shouted loudly, and the dozen or so people who followed him all stuffed explosives bags into the gaps in the city wall, and then pulled the line and ran.

At this time, gunshots rang out in the city, and the Japanese also opened fire, and some of them even rushed towards Chang and them.

Seeing this scene, He Renlong's face sank, it was not okay to turn around and run at this time, not only was he chased, but he would also become a target, He Renlong didn't expect that the would-be so brave would actually block this gap with artillery fire.

"Rush in!"

He Renlong gritted his teeth and said loudly: "The shield soldier opens the way, the musketeer shoots, rush in, kill!" ”

Following He Renlong's words, the shield soldier raised his shield and entered the city wall, and the musketeer raised his musket and began to fire back. The Japanese were screaming and shooting, but the arquebus was also a smoothbore gun, and it could only be covered and had no accuracy, otherwise the death squad would have to be named.

But the death squads were different, they were all equipped with regents, and they were rifled.

Although it is a very simple hook knife broaching method to pull out the rifling, there are only about 20 lines, which are drawn out by the simplest manual wooden machinery, but they are also rifled.

Reloading may be inconvenient, but the death squad is looking for the accuracy of the first round, each equipped with two wheel-type short guns, and with the ability to shoot accurately, after they shoot, the Japanese are dumbfounded.

With just one round of shooting, a large number of the pirates who rushed up were knocked down.

Then the death squad changed their guns, in order to maintain the continuity of fire, they used platoon guns, although the number was not large, but the continuous high-precision shooting, so that they were able to suppress the Japanese robbers.

However, this kind of suppression will not last long, because after all, they are small in number, and once a large number of Japanese robbers rush up, let alone row guns, they can't stand it with knives.

It's just that apparently the Japanese can't wait for that time.

Bang!

After a loud bang, the gap in the wall that had been blown open by the artillery exploded with an earth-shattering explosion, and the earth and rocks fell, and the city wall was blown open again, this time in large pieces.

"Cavalry regiment, rush in!" Cao Wenzhao immediately ordered: "The artillery stops firing, and the infantry regiment follows the cavalry and rushes up!" ”

With Cao Wenzhao's order, more than 3,000 cavalry rushed out in an instant, and the rumbling horses' hooves became faster and faster, heading directly towards Pyongyang City. The death squads in the city heard the sound of artillery and hurriedly dodged to the sides, they knew that the cavalry was coming.

The cavalry who rushed to the front jumped directly through the gap in the city wall, and then rushed directly to the opposite Wako, waving the saber in his hand and slashing towards the Wako.
