In the past, this kind of operation to transport earth to fill the moat would have cost heavy casualties. No army defending the city would allow the besieging enemy to do this.

But this time, in the roar of Hongyi's cannons, there were no people standing on the top of this city. There is nothing to cover them from standing, unlike archery that can still be blocked, and the subway bullets can tear through anything that stands in their way.

Originally, these soldiers still had some worries in their hearts, even if the captives at the head of the city could not coerce them, if an iron bullet did not last long and fell among them, it would have to be killed and injured.

However, after so many shells, every iron bullet was accurately smashed on the head of the city, and at most occasionally one shot flew a little higher and flew into the city, but absolutely not a single shot was low and fell on his own people.

These soldiers had to admit that the landfill moat under the cover of the Hongyi cannon was really the safest in the past. While they were relieved in their hearts, they were more happy, after all, this credit was thus established.

Completely contrary to their mood, the captives at the head of Anshan Post Fort were far away from the shelling of the city. They were still able to stand at the battlements, obliquely watching the movement at the south gate. I can only look at the subway bombs one by one, destroying the city unscrupulously, while the Ming army below is filling the moat in an orderly manner, and further away, large siege equipment has been assembled.

The city couldn't stop all of this, and could only watch it happen. As long as they are not fools, they all understand that in this situation where they can only be beaten and cannot fight back, the Ming army will definitely be able to attack the city from the south gate. What is impregnable, easy to defend and difficult to attack, under the Ming army's attack method, it has just become a joke.

If you say a war, you can fight back and forth, even if you can't fight, even if you have heavy casualties, but in that atmosphere, there will be many people who will fight hard for it!

However, in this situation, the Jianjiao in Anshan Post Fort can only be in a situation where they can't fight back just by being beaten, and this situation is still a serious blow to the morale of the Jianjiao. Everyone is a little pessimistic, how can the Ming army defend such a powerful offensive, and how can it be held?

Look outside the city, countless Ming troops are making preparations, the number is more than five or six times that of the defenders in the city, how can this battle be fought? If it had been before, these prisoners might have neglected the numerical superiority of the Ming army because they despised the combat power of the Ming army.

However, after the Battle of Gaizhou, the new army went out of the city to fight in the field, taught them a lesson, and made them realize the field combat ability of the Ming army, which was also very powerful. In addition, the scout battle that took place in this area between Haizhou and Anshan Yibao for a long time before also told Jianlu a truth, the combat strength of the Ming army was no longer the time when Jianlu could be ravaged by Jianyu.

The general of the Anshan Post Fort, who was built and guarded, hid in a city far away from the south gate, and looked at everything that happened in front of him with a pale face. The order he received was to defend Anshan Post Fort, and he must not lose Anshan Post Fort, because this is the gateway to Liaoyang. But in this situation, he is really not sure at all whether he can hold Anshan Post Fort.

But no matter what, even if you can't keep it, you have to defend it, in addition to sending urgent reports to Liaoyang one after another, he also ordered loudly to the guards around him: "Pass the order, we have no way to retreat, behind is Liaoyang, and our capital of the Qing Dynasty, Shenyang, there are countless clansmen behind to guard." Even if we die, we must defend the dangerous pass of Anshan Post Fort. Anyone who dares to take a step back will not be spared! ”

The prisoners in the Anshan Post Fort, with his order, thought about the Qing Dynasty behind them, these prisoners couldn't help but secretly cheer up, and their morale rose a lot.

However, with the sound of "boom boom" outside the city, sounded again and again, Jian Yugang had a lot of morale, and it was like a leaky ball, slowly venting.

On the contrary, the Ming army outside the city, with the roar of artillery, can increase morale every time, and every time they see the head of Anshan Post Fort smashed by iron bullets, they will increase their morale again.

The morale of the Ming army is getting higher and higher!

On the side of the siege troops, the large siege equipment has been assembled. But these Ming troops were a little lost. Because they looked at the head of Anshan Post Fort, under the continuous bombardment of Hongyi artillery, the city wall was being destroyed and collapsed piece by piece, and it seemed that they could directly attack the city from the gap without using these large siege equipment.

Didn't you say that Anshan Post Fort is impregnable? Didn't you say that Anshan Post Fort was not afraid of artillery bombardment? How can you deceive people like this and make us work in vain!

These soldiers of the Ming army who assembled siege equipment complained happily while pointing at the city head, all smiling.

The sound of "bang" sounded continuously, and a section of the city wall on the south side of the south gate finally collapsed under the continuous bombardment of Hongyi cannons. Suddenly, countless dust was stirred up, and a gust of wind passed, and the dust almost covered Anshan Post Fort. The Hongyi cannon stopped slightly, but adjusted the muzzle, and then it rang out quickly, and continued to shell both sides from this section of the collapsed city wall, increasing the width of the gap.

"Luxury, what a luxury!" Cao Wenzhao looked at all this and sighed with a smile.

Cao Bianjiao listened and laughed. He understood what his uncle meant. If a section of the wall had been blown down before, it would have been possible to attack. But the emperor specially explained that if you can solve things without human life, don't use human life to solve them. For the materials needed on the front line, including gunpowder, the emperor personally inquired. The Hongyi cannon just bombarded, blasted out greater results, blasted out the psychological shadow of Jianyu, and blasted out the superiority of civilization over barbarism!

"Dashuai, the upper limit of the shelling of the Hongyi cannon has arrived, and it is necessary to cool down and rest."

Hearing the warning of the artillery general, Cao Wenzhao looked at the section of the moat, which had already been filled in. Looking up at the sky again, he estimated that it was almost noon, and then looked at the section of the city wall that was too wide to collapse, and nodded, indicating that he understood. Then he looked at his nephew and said, "So, it's up to you new army?" “

"Uncle, look!" When Cao Bianjiao heard this, he immediately replied proudly. Then an order was given, and the siege troops of the new army, which had been waiting for a long time, began to move with the arrival of the general.

At the same time, the first messenger sent by Anshan Yibao to Liaoyang finally ran sixty miles and rushed into Liaoyang City.
