With the whining horn sounding again, the soldiers of the Dashun Army who were sitting and resting at the head of Taiyuan City hurriedly stood up.

With frightened and tired eyes, he looked down at the city, and hurriedly clenched his weapons one by one.

They saw that in the desolate and distant sound of bull horns, groups of Qin soldiers in black clothes and black armor slowly moved forward like a dark and secluded pine forest phalanx.

Although they were still far away, the powerful pressure suddenly covered their already fragile and worried hearts.

And that kind of pressure was also increasing as the Qin army continued to approach, and many people even began to hold their breath, and the entire city was suddenly overshadowed, showing a depressing and strange atmosphere.

The general of the Dashun army looked at the Qin army array slowly approaching under the city, and his heart was solemn.

He knew that this was the real elite of the Qin army. Before there was a battle, it gave people a feeling like Mount Tai was overwhelming, which was incredible.

He began to rejoice in his heart that it was fortunate that this was a battle to defend the city, and relying on the city, his soldiers would not collapse soon.

If the two sides are in a field battle, I am afraid that there are already deserters on their own side at this moment.

The chief general of the Dashun army is also a battlefield general, and he knows that if he is allowed to be squeezed by the Qin army's array, once a soldier on his side has a psychological breakdown, it will soon cause a chain reaction, and then this city will not have to be defended at all.

So he took out the long sword at his waist and raised it high, and shouted coldly: "Brothers, hold up your chests!" The Qin army was not as invincible as the legend suggests. When you open your eyes, the city is full of the corpses of the Qin soldiers you killed. They are all human, they are flesh and blood, and they can be killed!

Soldiers, pick up the swords and guns in your hands, grab the shields in your hands, and work with General Ben to repel these Qin troops again, and let them see that the masters of our Dashun army are not bad breeds. ”

After the encouragement of the main general, the pressure in the hearts of the soldiers of the Dashun army at the head of the city suddenly relaxed, and the faces of many people, who were originally cowardly, re-showed a resolute look, tightly grasped the weapons in their hands, and straightened their waists.

The young general next to the commander of the Dashun army looked at the commander silently, with a complicated expression on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

On the cloud chariot in the Qin army's large array, Bai Shan was observing the situation ahead with a clairvoyant mirror.

After looking at it for a while, he turned his head to the adjutant general next to him and said, "Order the whole army to stop and let the artillery battalion get ready." By the way, among the new firearms that His Highness has distributed to us this time, what kind of artillery has a good lethal effect on personnel? ”

Bige immediately said loudly: "General, among the new artillery equipped this time, the trajectory of the mortar is curved, which can effectively kill and injure the enemy hiding behind the city wall or in the trenches, but the attack effect on the city wall is poor. ”

"That's good, order the artillery battalion to attack the defenders of the city with mortars. If you can defeat them in one fell swoop, let them open the city and surrender. lest we have to repair the city after we have taken it. If the mortar is not effective enough, it will be used to support other guns. ”

Bige received the order and sent a herald to the artillery battalion to deliver the order.

This time, Jiangchuan equipped the army of 5,000 people with firearms.

Of these 5,000 men, 1,000 were organized into a separate artillery battalion.

This artillery battalion includes field guns that are good at attacking infantry in field battles, with straight ballistics and close range.

There are also long and heavy guns that are good at attacking enemy artillery and have a long range.

There are also mortars that are suitable for attacking enemies hiding behind fortifications at a long distance.

Among mortars, there are also two types: light mortars and heavy mortars.

The calibers of the two mortars are different, the firing range is naturally different, and the lethality is naturally very different.

At present, these 5,000 pure firearms units have not been incorporated into the battle sequence in accordance with the new military system.

This artillery battalion alone is equipped with a full 100 guns of various types.

If it is equipped according to the new military system, this hundred guns will definitely greatly exceed the number of artillery that an artillery battalion should have, even if it is enough to form an artillery regiment.

In addition to the artillery unit of 1,000 men, among the remaining 4,000 people there were 1,000 grenadiers armed with new grenades with wooden handles, and this 1,000 men were also turned into a grenadier battalion.

The remaining 3,000 men were organized into three infantry battalions for each thousand.

The guards of the Dashun army at the head of the city saw the Qin army phalanx that suddenly stopped, and their hearts were suspicious.

A sense of uneasiness rose from the bottom of his heart, but he couldn't tell where it came from.

Although he knew that the Qin army had only really started to move in the afternoon, after all, it was the first time he had fought with the Qin army, and he didn't know what the Qin army's real attack method was.

Originally, he thought that the Qin army would also use all kinds of engineering equipment to attack in close quarters and climb the city wall, just like in the morning.

It has to be said that his insight and vision are completely unable to meet the needs of war in this era.

But this can't be blamed on him, after all, for the generals of this era, whether they are the generals of the Dashun Army who were born with mud legs, or the generals of the official army at all levels of the imperial court, the vast majority of people do not have a basic concept of war in the era of pure firearms.

It can be said that if it were not for the influence of Jiang Chuan in this era, perhaps the form of war in which hot and cold weapons alternate would have existed for quite some time.

Jiang Chuan, on the other hand, intends to use new firearms to teach these enemies who are completely backward in equipment and concepts a painful lesson, letting them know that they have been eliminated by this era

Soon, the general of the Dashun army knew where the uneasiness in his heart came from.

Therefore, in the position of the Qin army under the city, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded.

Then, in the next moment, there was a sharp whistling sound that could reach his ears from far and near.

By the time he realized something was wrong, more than a dozen black shells had already crossed the sky and flew above his head.

Although the soldiers of the Dashun Army also knew artillery, the artillery they saw was extremely backward tiger squat cannons or red-coated cannons and the like.

And even that kind of backward artillery, many soldiers have never seen it.

Therefore, many people have no awareness of anti-artillery at all, and basically stand on the head of the city in a daze, watching the cannonballs fall straight into the crowd at the head of the city.

Of the dozen or so shells, at least half fell on the city.

In the dense crowd at the head of the city, the explosion suddenly set off a circle of bloody rain.

Many severed arms and stumps flew in the air, and the stone debris that the explosion lifted on the head of the city also played a good role in the explosion effect, and many soldiers of the Dashun Army died in a daze.

Luckily for them, the wounded and undead soldiers wailed over the city, and the whole city turned into a hell on earth in an instant.
