The gunner inlaid with the blue flag pulled up ten bronze cannons, the first field bronze cannon cast by the Wei army, and the elite of the Qing army had begun large-scale equipment.

It turned out that the artillery of the Ming Dynasty was bigger and bigger, and it was not suitable for field warfare, and the Qing army imitated the copper cannon of the Wei army, which was small in size and light in weight, and could be pulled by loading wheels, which was extremely suitable for China's complex terrain.

Although this kind of cannon is not a demolition weapon like the Hongyi cannon, it is more than enough to deal with general fortifications and small earthen villages, as long as it comes with a shot, it will definitely work.

At this time, the attacking green battalion soldiers left dozens of corpses and retreated, but the Qing artillery was pushed out, and they quickly set up an artillery array and prepared to bombard the earthen village.

On the earthen wall, the soldiers of the righteous army are shooting the retreating Qing army, the formation of the green battalion soldiers is very open, the fire gun exceeds a certain distance, the head is greatly reduced, the soldiers fired a few guns, and when they saw the Qing army going away, they no longer fired guns, but a few earthen cannons on the earthen wall are still roaring.

Suddenly, Zeng Dalong looked at the rear of the Qing army and whispered, "Commander, it's not good, the Tartar artillery is coming." ”

Before the words fell, an orange-red cannon flame flashed in the distance, and an iron bullet roared and hit the earthen wall directly, the iron bullet smashed the mud stack, wrapped in countless soil, and continued to move forward, smashing on an earthen cannon of the righteous army, smashing the cannon body to rotate, and directly knocking a volunteer gunner into vomiting blood and flying upside down.

The Tartar knocked out a gun position of the righteous army with one shot, which made Liu Heizi take a breath of cool air and shrink his head, "Mother, the Tartar's cannon is quite accurate." ”

The Qing army's artillery array continued to emit a deafening sound of artillery, and the muzzles of the guns kept spewing red cannon flames and thick white smoke.

Ten bronze cannons were arrogantly lined up, each artillery mount retreated, iron bullets rushed out of the muzzle and smashed into the earthen wall, the dust on the earthen wall was flying, countless dirt and broken wood were flying, and the rebels were constantly smashed down the city wall.

The crackling soil hit Liu Heizi's body, and he shook the dirt on his body, "Mother, the Tartars have grown a lot, and I have met the Tartar elite soldiers!" Old Xie, you guard the wall, and the other brothers come down with me. ”

After speaking, Liu Heizi slid down the earthen wall and hid behind the wall, and the righteous soldiers also jumped off the earthen wall one after another to avoid the artillery bombardment of the Qing army.

Helplessly, the rebel army was poorly equipped, and when they met the elite of the Qing army with equipment, they could only be beaten passively.

Wang Jiaping saw the dusty earthen village that was smashed, felt the ground tremble slightly, and finally regained his composure, turned around and asked the soldiers to make the equipment.

The gunners of the guns of the Qing army fired a cannon, quickly cleaned the chamber with a wet brush, the water vapor in the chamber evaporated, and there was a sound of steam and silk, and then the reloader quickly put in a package of propellant, pushed in the iron bullet and compacted, and the other gunner had already pierced the bag with an awl, inserted the lead, and was ready to be fired before firing.

There are so many steps to fire the copper cannon, and after many years, the Qing army has mastered the skills of the Wei army.

At this time, the Qing gunners adjusted the gun position again, then ignited the fire and opened fire again.

In the flickering cannon flames, the shells whistled again, and the smoke quickly blurred the line, and the rebels could only see the orange cannon flames flickering on the earthen wall, and then they felt the earth wall shake and the earth fell with a clatter.

"Dashuai, if you smash it like this, the wall will definitely collapse!" Zeng Dalong hid behind the wall and said in horror.

Liu Heizi frowned, the Tartar had a cannon, and his earthen cannon did not have enough range, so he could only be beaten.

"Now there is no other way but to hold on." Liu Heizi pursed his lips, and suddenly ordered: "When the wall collapses in a while, the Tartars will inevitably attack again, Dalong, you take three hundred brothers to the side of the mountain, if Lao Tzu can't withstand it, you will rush down the mountain and contain the Tartars." ”

Zeng Dalong nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, I know!" ”

After saying that, he turned on his body and led the men and horses to the side of the mountain.

Liu Heizi stared at Zhao Shuxiang again and said, "Military advisor, isn't the hexagram you calculated a good fortune?" ”

A cannon smashed, the earthen wall shook, and Zhao Shuxiang shuddered, "Dashuai, it's really lucky!" ”

Liu Heizi waved his hand, "I'm still a little worried, you can send someone to urge those mountains again." ”

Bolo looked at the results of the artillery bombardment with a clairvoyant mirror, nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered Wang Jiaping to prepare the equipment quickly, put it into attack as soon as possible, and sent scouts to monitor the surroundings.

Liu Heizi knew that the Qing soldiers were coming, so he did not run away, but chose to ambush and then hold on, he must have something to rely on.

Bo Luo has been in battle for a long time, and he has doubts about this, and it is expected that Liu Heizi still has a backhand, and most of them are not far from the Loess Cliff.

At this time, a Qing soldier suddenly came to report, "Lord Wang, only a rogue escaped by climbing the cliff, and one was killed by the minions, and five escaped!" ”

Bolo's eyes narrowed, and as expected, he knew that Liu Heizi was going to ask for help, and immediately ordered, "Let Wang Jiaping prepare quickly, and today must break through the cottage." ”

The artillery bombardment of the Qing army stopped and stopped, and although the power of the bronze cannon was small, it could not withstand the long-term bombardment.

By the afternoon, the earthen wall had been punched into multiple gaps, and the morale of the Qing army had been restored.

At this time, the drums sounded in the wilderness outside the earthen village, and more than 2,000 soldiers of the Han army with the yellow banner began to advance towards the earthen wall, holding large shields made of trees, carrying short ladders and trench bridges.

Xie Qian, who was at the head of the city, hurriedly greeted him, and the righteous soldiers hiding behind the wall picked up the bird's bow and arrow, climbed the earthen wall, and quickly shot at the Qing army.

The Qing army held a wooden shield against it, pulled the line forward, and from time to time someone fell, but still roared and rushed to the edge of the earthen wall.

The Huangjia soldiers paved the trench bridge to the trench, then walked through the trench bridge with their feet, and crashed into the gap in the earthen wall, and the rebels on the wall shot bows and arrows, and the Qing soldiers immediately covered their throats and fell to the ground, falling into the trench.

At this time, several Qing soldiers rushed across the trench bridge and took the lead in collapsing out, but as soon as they appeared, sharp spears stabbed head-on, and the Qing soldiers in front were stabbed and rolled down the trench screaming.

At this time, the Qing army behind immediately returned fire with weapons, and the righteous soldiers above were also cut down by two people, but immediately there were soldiers to fill in, and the two sides were in a few gaps, starting a life-swapping fight, exchanging deaths, and there were constantly Qing soldiers rolling along the slope, and the battle was extremely fierce.

Wang Jiaping wore armor, waved his sword to mobilize, and kept investing his troops, watching the Qing soldiers enter the battlefield, and saw that they were killed by spears and swept away by earth-shattering thunder, but he did not move.

Although Liu Heizi occupies this advantageous location, he has few soldiers and poor equipment, so Lao Tzu depends on how long you can last.

"Quick! Again, crush the turtle grandson! Wang Jiaping shouted and increased his troops again, "Liu Heizi can't stand it anymore!" ”
