On the Wolf Mountain Fort, Lu Wangjun removed a total of 30 red-coated cannons from the warship and transported them to the top of the mountain.

At this time, after several artillery pieces were test-fired, the real bombardment officially began.

At this time, the war drums on the top of the mountain were beating, and a deafening cannon sound suddenly broke out on the fort, like a summer drought and thunder.

The artillery pieces were played in turn, the gun carriage suddenly retreated, the thick white smoke covered the entire fort, and 30 iron bullets of more than 10 catties rushed out of the muzzle and flew down the top of the mountain, and the people below looked at it like a meteorite falling from the sky.

These shells smashed on the city wall, and countless gravel splashed, because it was a downward shot at the head of the city, and the Qing soldiers on it were not covered, and they were immediately killed and injured by the rubble.

In the first battle of Jiangyin that year, the Qing army besieged for nearly three months, and finally transferred red-coated artillery to break through the city.

Seeing this, Gao Yuanjun, who lacked firearms, couldn't help but beat wildly, they sat on the ground two miles away from the city, but they could still feel the ground shaking from the smashed city wall, this experience had never been experienced before, and today undoubtedly opened their eyes.

After a round of fighting, the gun emplacements on the turret immediately began to reset, they were all gunners on the warship, and they could handle the cannons on the bumpy sea, and they were even more handy on land.

The gunners of each cannon began to clean the chambers with sticks wrapped in damp cotton cloth, and the sound of zzi was heard from the shells, and then they poked again with sticks wrapped in dry cotton cloth, and then reloaded with gunpowder and iron bullets to begin the second salvo.

The people below looked at the fort on the top of the mountain, which had been wrapped in thick white smoke, cannonballs were fired, and the flames were splashing everywhere, and the soldiers of the Gao Yuan Army looked up, just like the thunder and lightning in the clouds.

Outside the northern city, Xie Qian looked at this formation, his mouth was a little dry, he had been fighting before, and he had basically never fought any hard battles, if he was guarding the city, he was bombarded by so many red-clothed cannons, it was estimated that it was very hanging.

"Strategist, can we build this artillery ourselves?"

Zhao Shuxiang heard him ask, glanced at him, pursed his lips and said, "It's not impossible, but you must have a stable territory first." ”

At this time, after three rounds of shelling, it stopped, the temperature of the gun body was too high, and if it was used again, it had to be blown up, and the gun body had to be cooled.

As soon as the roar of the cannon stopped, the sound of the collapse of the bricks and stones on the city of Nantong, mixed with many screams and wails, and panicked sounds, came over.

Seeing this, Zhao Shuxiang came out of the horse and said to Xie Qian: "It is estimated that the city will be attacked, and the subordinates will go to the west of the city to arrange it first." With that, he took his horse and left, led a few cavalrymen, and galloped away.

A quarter of an hour later, the artillery roared, and when three more rounds of fire had been fired, when the smoke had cleared and the artillery commander had seen with a clairvoyant mirror, many parts of the city wall had been shattered with bricks and stones, revealing the rammed earth inside, and most importantly, many of the Franco's cannons at the head of the city had also been knocked over.

These running positions, because they are blocked by the city wall, are difficult to find and destroy, but Zhang Mingzhen set up the artillery on Wolf Mountain and looked down on the city wall, so the situation was very different.

At the head of the city, the artillery smashed a mess, a green battalion soldier dragged his wounded companion to move slowly, and suddenly a cannon smashed, smashing the walls around him, and the rubble flew up, smashing the green battalion soldier to his knees.

Liu Qingtai was protected by several people, hiding on the edge of a section of the city wall, where the smoke and dust were billowing and his vision was not clear, he only heard the sound of wailing and crying for help from all sides, and a series of crashing sounds came from outside the city. He felt the entire city wall tremble violently, and suddenly there was a loud "bang", and a section of the city wall in the distance suddenly rose from the bottom of the thick smoke and dust, completely submerging that section of the city wall.

Liu Qingtai felt a pang in his heart, Nantong is neither big nor strong, this must be a collapse.

After the bombardment lasted for nearly an hour, the eastern section of the city wall was full of holes, Liu Qingtai looked at the city wall after the smoke and dust dissipated, and sure enough, it collapsed a section, and a slope three zhang wide appeared, he was about to order the men to prepare to resist horses and wooden planks, and temporarily spliced a low wall on the slope, but the city gate building of the east gate suddenly collapsed because of a burst of bombardment, and several unlucky wounded soldiers were dragged to the city tower to think it was safe, and they were all buried alive in an instant.

At this time, the rapid drum sound outside the city sounded, and countless people were boiling, Liu Qingtai glanced out, and suddenly said urgently: "The thief army is about to attack the city, quickly transfer two thousand people from the south gate to support." ”

Outside the city, the sailors of King Lu's warships, the oars rowed, swaying the water lines, one by one from the aqueduct into the moat, part of the boat to the north, and then turned into the north moat, part of the boat to the south, directly into the east moat, the side of the war ship facing the city wall are equipped with guards, smeared with thin mud, nailed with cowhide.

The sails were all folded, and the building was full of archers and birds, and the cabins were filled with elite soldiers with swords in one hand and rattan cards in the other.

To say that there are nearly 70,000 Gaoyuan troops around Nantong that can be consumed, but Zhang Mingzhen went to the elite of the Lu Wang Army in the first battle, which can further buy people's hearts, and the elites are on it, and there is nothing else to say about miscellaneous cards. In the future, when using miscellaneous cards, miscellaneous cards will not psychologically think that this is Zhang Mingzhen's exclusion of dissidents and intentional consumption. The second is to save time, he needs to integrate the army before Duoduo presses come, if it is consumed in Nantong, it will consume his time.

What he wants today is a hammer deal.

When the boat entered the canal, the side-hung artillery roared, and the green battalion soldiers at the head of the city also began to fire back, but the firepower was obviously inferior to that of the warship.

In the artillery battle between the two sides, the walls of the city collapsed, the sawdust on the ship was splashed, and the soldiers on both sides were injured by the gravel and sawdust, screaming and the scene was tragic.

Rockets from the city head rained down on the warships, the Lu warships were tall, the shipbuildings were basically as high as the city walls, and the soldiers hid behind the installed guards and shot at the city.

Rockets were nailed to the ship, but the mud and cowhide kept the fire under control.

Liu Qingtai saw that the thieves widened the aqueduct and unloaded the ballast stones and other excess heavy objects in the ship, so he judged that the thief army might use the warships to attack the city directly, so he asked the deployment of more fire attacks, but the rockets had little effect, and he couldn't help shouting anxiously: "Throw fire canisters!" Burn the ship! ”

The Qing soldiers were ordered to immediately smash the oil canister on the ship, a Qing soldier just lifted it, and in the bucket on the mast of the warship, a Ming soldier smashed the oil canister with just one shot, and the Qing soldier was drenched all over his body, and the raging fire engulfed him instantly.

A terrible wail sounded, the Qing soldiers rushed in despair, their bodies couldn't stop waving, and knocked over the brazier by the wall, causing the surrounding Qing soldiers to quickly disperse.

The ship was hit by a fire canister, and a fire immediately spread, but there was also a way to deal with it on board, and several soldiers immediately took out bags of grass ash and salsa, and poured them on the fire.

At this time, the boat branch began to anchor into the river to stabilize the hull, and the long ladder prepared on the ship's tower immediately fell down and was placed on the head of the city, which was equivalent to a flat-bottomed attack, and the advantage of the defenders in having the city wall was greatly offset, and many of the city's defense equipment were useless.

There are 10,000 elite defenders in the city, 10,000 elite soldiers in the army of King Lu, and there are 10,000 capable people in the army of Gaoyuan.

At this time, when the long ladder was set up, the elite soldiers hiding in the cabin immediately poured out, they climbed the ship, and then followed the ladder to the city to kill, two Qing soldiers were about to work together to cut the ladder, but the elite of the Lu army on the bucket was condescending, and shot the two of them one by one.

At this time, the drums of war changed, and two miles away, among the Gaoyuan army sitting on the ground, a selected elite man, plus an elite Lu army of 1,000 households, a total of 3,000 people, immediately stood up to the sound of the big drum, and then carried more than ten long ladders to advance towards the canal.

When they came to the river, they set up ladders to the boats, and then they continued to get on the boats, and then ascended the city from the long ladder at the top of the ship's tower, so as to form a continuous attack.

The elite soldiers of the Lu army holding the rattan card, stepping on the ladder to advance quickly, the archers in the city were suppressed by the firepower of the shipbuilding, especially the Lu army on the Wangdou, and only the sparse arrows shot at the rattan players, and they also lost their accuracy.

The rattan player came all the way to the edge of the city, and was about to jump on the city wall, the Qing soldier who was hiding in the city wall suddenly stabbed head-on, and the rattan player in front was stabbed by the spear, screaming and falling into the moat, and the rattan player behind saw this, and did not wait for him to collect the gun, he jumped high, knocked down the Qing soldier gunner, and scuffled desperately on the ground.
