Chapter 257: The Real War

Bai Mu's arrangement of the formation is very focused, all the heavy troops are deployed outside the north gate of Jianning City, and there is a cavalry regiment at the west gate and the east gate to encircle and patrol, one of which is the cavalry regiment of the 47th Army.

Cavalry was not used during sieges, and was used to carry out interception and patrol missions.

Only one south gate was left without any troops, which was also the previously planned deployment, and it was also a passage left for the defenders of Jianning City to ask Zheng Zhilong of Fuzhou for help.

Since it has been decided to encircle the point and send reinforcements, it is necessary to fight the pain, and if they are afraid of the defenders of Jianning, they will ask for help from Fuzhou City.

So as soon as he came up, Bai Mu ordered all the artillery of the artillery regiment to be set up and aim at the north gate of Jianning City.

The running regiment of the First Army can be said to be the strongest regiment in the entire Wehrmacht sequence, with the most firepower, not counting the light mortars that are responsible for infantry support, but more than 200 field guns, long and heavy artillery guns, and heavy artillery guns for siege.

As for the shells, it goes without saying, it can be said that the supply is open.

Most of the supplies brought from the capital along the canal this time were all kinds of cannonballs.

In this operation, the logistics troops of the First Army carried enough artillery shells to meet the needs of the three major wars, and Yue Pengju in the rear would soon send a large number of artillery shells and supplies.

Therefore, Bai Mu did not have to worry about the problem of insufficient shells.

"Order the artillery regiment to open up and fight, saturate the artillery bombardment for half an hour, and let Zheng Zhilong, the old boy, see what a real war is." Bai Mu immediately pointed at Jianning City and ordered loudly.

"Fire!" With the order of Li Han, the commander of the artillery regiment, the long and heavy artillery with the longest range was the first to let out an angry roar.

Dozens of cannonballs whizzed across the sky, smashing headlong into the panicked defenders at the head of the city, and suddenly there was a bloody storm and the sound of wailing continued to sound.

The shells caused rubble to fly, and caused serious secondary injuries to the dense crowd at the head of the city.

After the long and heavy artillery, the range was shorter, but the field artillery with flowering shells appeared on the stage, and in the midst of the booming and booming sound, it made the north tower of Jianning City surrounded by blood, and the severed arms and stumps flew everywhere.

After the field artillery, dozens of heavy mortars behind a relatively close high ground outside Jianning City were also arranged, and they couldn't wait to make their own voices.

The shrill whistling of mortar shells streaked through the sky, plunging headlong into the already chaotic guards of the city, bursting out of countless torrents of steel and sweeping a large area of defenders to the ground.

Bai Mu didn't say a word as soon as he came up, and directly used the fierce artillery fire to completely stunned the defenders of Jianning City, they couldn't react at all, the only thing they could do was to hug their heads and run away.

After all, strictly speaking, they were just a group of islands that had been temporarily used to defend the city. At sea, they may be fierce and cruel bandits, but on land they are simply a group of rookies.

They had never fought any regular land battles at all, and their previous arrogance was only the existing situation caused by years of murder and the strength of the population, and they were not elite divisions at all.

Even they didn't know how to defend against artillery at all, and they would only run back and forth in the midst of the shelling, adding a little more to the results of the First Army Artillery Regiment.

When Zheng Hongkui arrived in a hurry, he saw a large number of soldiers running around in a mess.

If he hadn't flashed fast, he would have had his throat cut off by a flying cannonball fragment.

But the soldier behind him didn't have his good luck, and was directly inserted into his left eye by the broken skin of the cannonball, covering his left eye and howling miserably.

The cannons outside the city were still exploding, and the explosions made Zheng Hongkui, who had been fighting for a long time, also frightened.

He really couldn't understand how this official army had come without any warning before.

And as soon as he came up, he used such a fierce battle, which made Zheng Hongkui panic and didn't know how to deal with it.

"Third master, you're here! The artillery of this officer army is too fierce, too fierce! The brothers can't hold it at all, there are too many dead, third master, you can think about it quickly......"

A general in armor and covered in blood saw Zheng Hongkui hurriedly running over and crying.

This person is Zheng Hongkui's henchman, and Liu Tianfang, the deputy general of the Jianning City garrison, is also a murderous and ruthless master, but he didn't expect to be scared like this at this time.

"How the fuck did you become like this? Injured? Zheng Hongkui was angry and grabbed Liu Tianfang and asked.

"I'm all other people's blood, if it weren't for my brother, I would be hiding in the pile of dead, and this guy wouldn't be able to see you, the third master." Liu Tianfang didn't feel embarrassed at all, and still said with a crying voice.

Although these people are fierce on weekdays, when have they passed through such a scene, so they are all frightened.

"Damn, why are there so many shells for this official army, and they haven't stopped fighting for so long! Did Jiang Chuan's little rabbit cub donate his wife? Zheng Hongkui glared at Liu Tianfang fiercely, kicked him away, and muttered in his mouth.

"Where's our cannon? Fight back, you can't just wait to be beaten! Zheng Hongkui grabbed Liu Tianfang's collar and scolded.

"Third master, our artillery can't hit the officers and soldiers at all, not to mention, and at the beginning, many cannons were blown up by the guns of the officers and soldiers, and only the other three city walls remained." Liu Tian said in a loud voice.

"Then move over for Lao Tzu, can't you still keep giving birth to a son!" Zheng Hongkui scolded and kicked Liu Tianfang on the buttocks, and Liu Tianfang had to go to arrange it with a sad face.

After Liu Tian let him go, Zheng Hongkui asked someone again, and knew that the official army only attacked from outside the north gate, and there were cavalry patrols at the east and west gates, and there were no officials at the south gate.

Zheng Hongkui thought about it and called a pro-soldier and said: "You take a few people to Fuzhou from the south gate and ask the uncle for help, just say that the official army is too fierce, let him immediately bring those ghosts to reinforce." If it's too late, the old lady will be arrested by the officials and soldiers. ”

Zheng Hongkui knew that the old lady was the weakness of the eldest brother, and as soon as he said that the eldest brother would definitely get sick immediately, he would get reinforcements immediately.

The soldier hurriedly took the order and left, and after a while, a few fast horses galloped out of the south gate of Jianning City and headed in the direction of Fuzhou.

"Commander, sure enough, someone asked Fuzhou for help." Duan Peng, the captain of the reconnaissance team, came to Bai Mu and said.

"Hey, Zheng Hongkui, this kid is so unresistant, this is just the beginning, we haven't warmed up yet." Bai Mu said disdainfully.

"Where have you seen this posture on these islands of the Zheng family." Duan Peng said with a smile.

"Then you continue to monitor and see what else this old boy Zheng Hongkui is capable of." Bai Mu nodded and commanded.
