Liu Guoxuan, with an urge to kneel down and worship, watched the arc light fall on the city wall.

It's the light of faith!

He shuddered slightly, watching the all-plate figure regain clarity in his vision, and then saw the latter stand still, holding the giant axe in both hands, which was obviously made entirely of steel, and made a turn. The arc light made by the giant axe drew a semicircle around it, and within the reach of this semicircle, the three Qing soldiers were directly cut in waist and flew out of the city wall with blood and internal organs.

The two newly emerging Ming soldiers on the city wall shrank their necks in fright.

But then they came to their senses.

The two men roared excitedly, climbed over the low wall at the same time, pulled the trigger back to back on the left and right, and knocked down the two Qing soldiers while throwing off their short guns and pulling out the double cone stab......

"Be careful!"

Liu Guoxuan suddenly shouted.

The steel general turned his head, and a mountain splitting cannon was turning around not far away.

The giant axe in his hand swung out again, and then let go, this legendary weapon immediately spun and flew out, instantly flying out of the city wall with the flesh and blood of four Qing artillerymen, and the two Qing soldiers who escaped were all frightened, trembling and looking at him, and then they fell down in response to the sound of gunfire next to them. Two Ming soldiers who had just climbed the city wall quickly stepped forward and kicked away their dead bodies, turning the muzzle of the mountain splitting cannon to the other side, where the Qing army rushing over for reinforcements was so frightened that they hurriedly turned around, but then the flames of the muzzle erupted, and the large shotgun loaded inside swept across the city wall.

At this time, the first Ming army to climb up from outside the city had already set foot on the city wall.

Then more ladders were put up.

And the fierce general with full plate armor walked in front of Liu Guoxuan and lifted the mask......

"I've seen you!"

He said with satisfaction.

"Captain Liu Guoxuan, the captain of the reconnaissance post directly under the Second Army of the Marine Army, see the Protector of the Country!"

Liu Guoxuan, who had already guessed his identity, knelt down directly on his knees and bowed.

"Get up, we're all brothers!"

Yang Qing helped him up and said.

At this time, with the continuous arrival of Ming troops inside and outside the city wall at the same time, this section of the city wall has been completely controlled, and even the two captured mountain splitting cannons were fired in the hands of the Ming army. And those marines who climbed the city wall quickly formed a dense formation, with these two mountain-splitting guns as the core, and fired a volley of guns to the left and right. The Qing army had not yet woken up from the chaos, and this sudden blow, especially Yang Qing's violent style, completely stunned them, and the warriors of the Eight Banners Divine Army were fleeing along the city wall to the left and right, and then kept falling in the Ming army's volley of guns.

The flintlock pistol, far exceeding the rate of fire of the arquebus, was well displayed in such a battle, and in the blink of an eye it was almost emptied within a radius of nearly a hundred paces.

And more and more Ming troops climbed the city wall.

But it was also at this time that a cannon on the right pier finally completed the position of the move......

This is not a hill splitting cannon.

These piers are all two-thousand-pound cast-iron Hongyi cannons, all of which are on these piers near Dagukou, but they are all old-fashioned gun mounts that are very laborious to move, but after completing the move, they become the masters of the battlefield, and then the large shotguns are sprayed out at the Ming army, and more than a dozen Ming soldiers who are shooting at the Qing army fall at the same time.

"Where's Pontus' axe!"

Yang Qing roared angrily.

His axe had long since flown behind the city walls.

"Wait a moment for the protector of the country, and look at the humble duty to avenge the brothers!"

Liu Guoxuan said.

After saying that, he beckoned to several of his subordinates and rushed forward.

At this time, the signal was issued on the hot air balloon in the sky, and the cannons of the four cruisers at sea were aimed at this pier at the same time, and a dense number of shells whistled in. Although the distance was too far and the power was insufficient, it still smashed the pier platform into pieces and splashed pieces, and the two Qing soldiers who were reloading immediately fell, and the others were also beaten so that they did not dare to raise their heads. Liu Guoxuan rushed forward a few times, and the Ming army flintlock musketeers behind him shot at the pier, but there were also Qing army musketeers on the pier, and their arquebuses were also shooting at Liu Guoxuan.

But Liu Guoxuan and others ignored the flying bullets.

Trained to run at full speed on the walls.

The arquebuses of the Qing army were not machine guns, and if a few musketeers did not hit after one round, it was basically impossible to hit a second round, but the bullets fired from the other side of the pier through the door hole were more dangerous, and soon one of the commandos fell. But at this time, Liu Guoxuan and others, who were completely in a state of ignoring everything, stepped on the dead corpses of the Qing army everywhere, and rushed into the pier platform with great courage in the blink of an eye.

The two subordinates held each other close to the pier, Liu Guoxuan stepped in the middle, and the two of them threw upwards at the same time, and Liu Guoxuan, who jumped up, immediately climbed onto the pier.

Shelling from the sea has stopped.

Facing Liu Guoxuan, who suddenly appeared in front of the muzzle, the Qing army who was reaiming was caught off guard, and then he hit the powder keg with a shot.

Pushed by the recoil of the short gun, Liu Guoxuan rolled down the pier, and at the moment he landed, he rolled into the door with his head in his hands, and before he could go in, an explosion sounded above his head, and a subordinate who had already hid in dragged him in, and then with the collapse of the rammed earth overhead, both sides of the door hole were completely flooded with dust......

"What a warrior!"

Yang Qing looked at this scene and sighed.

"Rush!"

An officer in front of him yelled in a very irritated manner, and then rushed out first, and then the Ming troops on the city wall who were originally responsible for covering rushed forward......

This is considered a victory, as long as the two piers on the left and right and the middle city wall are controlled, the Ming army has gained a stable foothold, and the other pier in the back has been destroyed by naval artillery, this one was blown up by Liu Guoxuan, and the middle section of the city wall is completely under the control of the Ming army. The remains of the two piers on the left and right can be used as defense points, whether it is the shells of other piers or the counterattack of the Qing army along the city wall, they can be blocked by these two piers, and the middle city wall is safe.

And then......

Then Guan Yang Qing's, he just came to pretend to boost his morale.

Liu Guoxuan and others were quickly dug up.

However, they were only stunned, in fact, the door hole where they were hiding did not collapse, but the air wave shook a little hard, and the Protector personally diagnosed them and confirmed that they were not in danger of life, and the rest was to send them back to the ship for treatment.

Immediately afterwards, a disassembled twenty-pound mortar was brought to the shore by the boat, and then carried under the city wall and dragged up with a rope, and while the infantry was establishing a defensive line, the assembled mortar fired the first flowering shell at the distant battery. But this was only an appetizer, because soon the Ming army sappers blasted through the city walls, and the boats sent the more terrible forty-pound mortars......

This can't be hung on the wall.

The twenty-pound mortar cannon actually doesn't weigh much at all, and the simple barrel is less than one hundred and fifty pounds, and the base is wooden.

But a forty-pound mortar will not work, not only is it impossible to lift it to the city wall, but even transporting it from the sea to the shore requires a special boat, and even a track can be laid to cross the beach. However, after being busy until dark, the first 40-pound mortar was transported in this way, joining the bombardment of the southern fort of Dagukou, which was actually less than four miles away.

The Qing army was powerless to fight back.

It is impossible for the 10,000-pound cannon to turn this way.

Other heavy artillery using artillery mounts can turn to this side, but the effective aiming range is impossible to hit the Ming artillery, and the forty-pound mortar is set up in a special annular gun position under the city, which is a mortar and does not need direct aiming.

The only effective counterattack is to strike.

But both their cavalry and infantry were shot in front of the Ming army, which was purely sent to death.

The next day, as the Ming infantry captured another section of the city wall, bringing the area of control closer to less than two miles from the fort, an even more formidable weapon appeared......

"Lord Protector, please!"

The commander of the Heavy Artillery Brigade of the Second Marine Army said to Yang Qing respectfully.

In front of them at this moment was a rather rudimentary iron shelf, made of bolted cast iron parts forming a right-angled triangle, except that one of the right-angled sides was the base, and this shelf held up a semicircular section of the slide. One of the slides resembles a Cassan rocket, but it looks more primitive and rudimentary, and even has rivets pointing diagonally into the sky, and the four rear swept rear fins add a bit of modernity to it, one of which passes through the middle of the slide......

There's an opening in the middle.

But a fuse wreaks havoc on this modernity.

"Thirty pounds of gunpowder!"

Yang Qing said with satisfaction: "I don't know if the Jiannu on the fort likes this kind of good thing!" ”

Well, his siege rocket warhead is stuffed with a full thirty catties of gunpowder, you must know that even if it is forty catties of mortar, there are only more than ten catties of gunpowder in the shell, this is the advantage of the rocket over the artillery, it can not consider the chamber pressure and maximize the weight of the charge.

Thirty pounds of gunpowder.

Even in modern times, this is the power of 105 cannons!

And the gun emplacements on the batteries were all in the open air.

In fact, Yang Qing still wants to build a bigger one, but that is beyond his technical level, this is already the limit, the Hale rocket is only a few dozen pounds, the largest Congreve rocket is only thirty-two pounds, and his rocket weighs more than 100 pounds, the thrust that can be provided under the current technical conditions is limited, no matter how big it is, it can't fly at all!

"They'll feel the power of heaven before they die!"

Said the commander of the heavy artillery brigade.

"Tianwei, I like this word!"

Yang Qing said.

With that, the torch in his hand was suddenly pestled on the fuse, and then he and the heavy artillery brigade commander and the soldiers quickly retreated to the cover and lay down, and when they looked up again, the fuse sank into the rocket. The next moment, blazing flames erupted from the tail of the rocket, pushing the rocket into the sky with a roar, and then Yang Qing and the officers and soldiers around him cheered like members of a certain organization.

The rocket in the sky dragged the eye-catching tail flame and reached the Dagu Fort in an instant with a fairly low trajectory......

The next moment, the flames exploded!

The unusually loud explosion shook the entire Dagu mouth.

"One more shot!"

Yang Qing said with satisfaction.

The soldiers next to an urgently erected boom next to it pulled the inverted chain and hoisted a huge rocket up from under the city wall, and the two soldiers turned the boom to the top of the slide rail, and slowly lowered the behemoth on the slide rail......
