Eight 64-pounder mortar guns, 72 12-pounder field guns, more than 200 6-pounder field guns, 26 old-fashioned Hongyi cannons, and 58 old-fashioned thousand-pound Buddha cannon guns roared at the same time, and more than 200 shells whistled and smashed onto the city wall.

Wang Yu did not provide so many "new" artillery pieces to Wu Sangui, and Wu Sangui also gathered the captured Qing artillery, in addition to the new field guns of the Ming army imitated by Nan Huairen, there were also some old-fashioned Hongyi cannons and thousand-pound Buddha cannons, which were also used by Wu Sangui to bombard the city wall.

As for some of the general cannons, small Franc machine guns, tiger squat cannons and other small cannons captured by Wu Sangui, because the firing range was too close, those cannons and the three-pounder cannons provided by Wang Yu were put aside for the time being, and after the city was broken, those small cannons would be pulled into the city for use during street fighting.

At the same time as the Wu army launched the artillery bombardment, the auxiliaries and the people pushed one after another shield carts from the Wu army's formation. The shield cart was loaded with sandbags, ready to be used to fill the moat.

Before the Wu army auxiliaries approached the moat, dozens of Qing artillery guns hiding behind the city wall spit out fire, and the whistling shells smashed into the Wu army's shield car cluster that was advancing in a scattered formation. The gunners of the Qing army had good artillery skills, and the guns were a little accurate, and they immediately smashed over six shield carts, and at least more than 20 Wu army auxiliaries were smashed to pieces by the shells.

Compared with the artillery of the Qing army and the artillery of the Wu army, there is no generation difference, and they are all artillery of the same level. Wu Sangui's "new" artillery was provided by Wang Yu and captured by the Qing army, and the Qing army's artillery was a copy of the previous batch of artillery of the Qiongzhou army, so the Wu army and the Qing army were equal in terms of weapons.

I saw more than 20 brothers who got along day and night with their own eyes to pieces, and more wounded soldiers fell in pools of blood and groaned, but the morale of the Wu army auxiliaries became more and more high, and they braved the fierce artillery fire of the Qing army, quickened their pace, quickly pushed the shield cart, approached the moat, and dropped one sandbag after another.

The morale of the Wu army's auxiliaries is naturally high, because the front is the capital of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, as long as the city in front of them is defeated, this means that the Wu army can enter the Beijing division in front of other allies, in fact, the other allies are only the Qiongzhou army is competitive, Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong are just vassals of Wang Yu. Once the Wu army entered the capital, all the heroes who invaded the city were heroes, and the officials were knighted, and the glory and wealth beckoned to them in front of them.

One after another, the shield carts were hit by the shells of the Qing army, and the shelled shield carts flew sawdust, shattered wooden planks, or turned to the side, sandbags on the carts were scattered all over the ground, and behind the broken shield carts, there were wailing wounded soldiers everywhere. However, more shield carts pushed forward, and the Wu army auxiliaries approached the moat and threw bags of sandbags.

At the head of the city, birds, flintlock pistols and lance bullets, feather arrows from bows and arrows, and lime bottles were poured down on the other side of the moat as if they didn't want money, and Wu army auxiliaries continued to fall in pools of blood.

As more and more shield carts approached the city wall, the Wu army auxiliaries carried sacks to the city wall and threw them into the moat, and soon extended several battles on the moat.

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! There was an earth-shattering cheer from the crowd of Wu Jun.

As the filled flat land extended in the direction of the city wall, the Wu army auxiliaries who were working naturally became closer to the city wall. The distance is close, the accuracy of the projectiles and bows and arrows of the Qing army at the head of the city is higher, and the Qing army and people at the head of the city can also play a role, throwing more lime bottles, which are also mixed with tens of thousands of enemies, which are cast by the powerful people.

Liu Lao Liu picked up a lime bottle, which was a small clay pot filled with quicklime. He holds a lime bottle in his right hand and a water ladle in his left hand and pours water into the lime bottle. After a while, he felt the lime bottle start to burn, and there was a sound of ceramic expanding as it was heated. So Liu Laoliu poked his head out of the battlement, aimed at a Wu army auxiliary soldier under the city, and threw a lime bottle with his hand.

Liu Laoliu threw the lime bottle very accurately, he saw with his own eyes, the lime bottle he threw just smashed on the face of the Wu army auxiliary soldier who was carrying a sandbag and preparing to fill the moat, only to hear a "pop", the heated lime bottle exploded, mixed with water quicklime splashed everywhere, the Wu army auxiliary soldier who was hit in the face let out a miserable scream, threw away the sandbag, covered his face, and the hot lime immediately scalded a blister on his face. When the explosion was blown up, the fragments of the lime bottle were sprayed everywhere with hot lime, and several Wu army auxiliaries around them fell screaming.

"Liu Lao Liu, good! Kill the five Ming dogs! A Green Battalion Qing Army officer gave Liu Laoliu a thumbs up.

The loyal and honest Liu Laoliu smiled unnaturally, picked up a lime bottle again, he was about to pour water into the lime bottle, and then threw the lime bottle, but he heard a row of gunshots under the city, and several people around Liu Laoliu spewed blood mist on their heads and fell on the city wall, and even the Qing army officer next to him was shot and fell.

Liu Lao Liu moved quickly, and immediately retracted his head and dodged the bullets that came from him. When the gunfire under the city stopped for a while, Liu Laoliu picked up the water scoop, poured water into the lime bottle, and then poked his head out as fast as he could, he just saw that there was a row of Wu army musketeers standing fifty steps away from the city, hiding behind the shield and sticking out the muzzle, shooting at the head of the city.

"Minggou, traitor, go die!" Liu Laoliu scolded and raised his hand to throw the lime bottle. His strength was very great, and his head was also very high, and the lime bottle passed over the shield and fell right into the crowd of Wu Jun's musketeers, only to hear the sound of the lime bottle exploding, and a scream rang out in the crowd of Wu Jun's musketeers.

Liu Lao Liu retracted his head and dodged the bullets that came from the shot. When he was about to reach out to get the lime bottle again, he saw that the fallen Qing army was facing more than a dozen thousand enemies. So Liu Laoliu had an idea, picked up a 10,000-strong enemy, walked to a hot cauldron, and used the bonfire at the bottom of the pot to light the fuse of 10,000 enemies. Then Liu Laoliu picked up the 10,000 enemies with both hands, the whole person rotated in place a few times, and as soon as his hands were released, the 10,000 enemies flew out and landed on the moat under the city.

"Boom" 10,000 enemies exploded into a fireball, thistles and debris sprayed everywhere, and the Wu army auxiliaries under the city immediately fell.

Although the Wu army auxiliary suffered heavy losses, as the moat was filled in little by little, the morale of the Wu army became more and more high.

At the same time that the Wu army's auxiliaries pushed the shield cart to fill the moat, the women, children, the old and weak, under the command of craftsmen and Minzhuang, nervously dug the soil to fill sandbags, or built large ladder trucks, large nest cars, large trench vehicles and other siege weapons. Because Beijing's city walls are extremely high, it is necessary to build taller ladder trucks and nest cars, which adds a lot of work.
