The next day, Mang Gurtai did not continue to send armor soldiers to fight with the Changxing army for the trenches, and this time he chose to defend to the death.

The city wall of Fuzhou has been beaten to tatters by the heavy artillery of the Changxing army, and the bricks of the city have fallen off in many places. If it weren't for Mang Gurtai's reinforcement many times, it would have been blown down long ago.

The artillery on the head of the city was hidden by Mang Gurtai, and if it had been firing at the Changxing army, it would have been wiped out.

Even so, there are only eleven thousand pound franc machines left, and these artillery guns must be used at critical moments, and must not be consumed in the confrontation with the Changxing army.

Although the sun in early spring is not as warm as in summer, it can still make people feel happy.

The Changxing army waited in the trench after eating the war meal early, and there was an extra group of people armed with swords in the trench in Nancheng.

The faces of these men had already been lowered, and they sat on their knees, wiping their knives without saying a word.

There were about 2,000 of these people, and the recruits were stunned for a while. Many people also pointed at them and whispered about them.

"Xiucai! Who are these dwarfs? Why does it look so crazy! It won't be a little ghost summoned by the handsome bean soldiers! It's uncomfortable to see pockmarks! Lao Mazi whispered beside Wu Shuang.

Wu Shuang looked at it for a while before saying, "I heard that the commander has a soldier in his hand who does not use firearms, called the Death Brigade. Most of the samurai in the death brigade are samurai from the Wa Kingdom, and there are a small number of people who have committed capital crimes!

It is said that the death brigade always holds a funeral for itself before every battle, and as long as they go to war, they never think of coming back alive. Therefore, they never cherish their own lives in battle, and everyone dares to fight to the death. I think it's them! ”

Hearing Wu Shuang's words, Ma Xiaoliu also said: "Yes! Right! I also remembered that Brother Lan had mentioned these people to me, so I didn't want to mess with them. This group of people is all crazy, and they are not interested in anything but killing! ”

Hearing the two of them's narration, the rest of the recruits shook their heads and unconsciously retreated.

Xu Lianshan loves to be lively, and he is adjacent to Wu Shuang's team. He heard the recruits here talking about the death brigade, and rushed over and said, "It's not as evil as you say!" Their captain, Takano, is all fine except that he doesn't like to laugh! I was drinking with him last time, you see! ”

As he spoke, Xu Lianshan walked to the people of the death brigade, and whispered a few words in front of them. He walked to the side again, and in a short time brought someone back.

This person is obviously not a Japanese man, and his stature is about the same as that of a soldier of the Changxing Army. Came to Wu Shuang's body and bowed slightly, saluted and said, "Dare to die brigade, squad leader Li Zhen has seen adults!" After speaking, he lifted the mask and revealed a delicate face.

Wu Shuang hurriedly returned the military salute and said, "Brother Tai's name is Li Zhen, so he is not from the Japanese country?" How did you get to the death brigade? ”

Li Zhen sighed and said, "Hey! It's a shame to say that Lee Jung-nai is a native of Jeju Island. When he took some silver that he shouldn't have taken, he should have been sentenced to death. My brother dragged me to kneel in front of the big handsome door for a long time before he begged for a chance to let me join the death brigade! Speaking of the past of the year, Li Zhen sighed.

"Brother Li! Are all the people in the death brigade a widow? ”

"Brother Li! Why don't you use firecrackers! ”

……

When the recruits saw Li Zhen's delicate face, they no longer had the fear they had just now, and they kept asking questions around Li Zhen.

Li Zhen also behaved politely, answered all questions, and the two sides talked very harmoniously. Suddenly, the drum sounded, and Li Zhen said to the recruits: "There is a chance that Li Zhen will invite you to drink, and I will go back to prepare for the siege of the city, and I need your attention later!" After saying that, Li Zhen closed his mask and ran back to his main formation.

Wu Shuangda glanced at Xu Lianshan meaningfully and said, "Brother Xu is afraid that the recruits will be afraid of the death brigade, so he doesn't dare to cooperate with them!" Thank you very much! ”

Xu Lianshan smiled, rarely did not answer, and turned back to his team.

The drums resounded in the sky, and the artillery of the Changxing Army outside Fuzhou City roared again, sending out rounds of cannonballs towards Fuzhou City.

The 12-pounder gun, in particular, shook the walls slightly every time it hit them. Large bricks always have to fall off a few pieces, revealing the solid rammed earth inside.

Mang Gurtai did not dare to be careless, and the artillery fire of the Changxing army today was particularly fierce. He himself ascended to the top of the city and looked out from the outlet.

After looking at it for a while, he said, "Let the minions all move!" The Changxing Army is afraid that it is going to attack the city today, as long as it survives the sharpness of the Changxing Army today, there is nothing to be afraid of. ”

Suddenly, a large cloud of gunpowder smoke rose from the trench outside the city, and the dull sound startled Mang Gurtai into a cold sweat.

What kind of cannon is this, how can it have such great power. Just as he was wondering, a heavy iron ball smashed into the city walls.

The huge iron ball directly smashed down a dwelling, and looking at the rising smoke and dust, Mang Gurtai was stunned for a moment.

How large a cannonball could have caused such a destructive force, if it had landed on the city walls, ...... Mang Gurtai would no longer dare to imagine such consequences.

He yelled at Goshha beside him: "Let the mud gunners bombard that there and destroy the cannons there!" Just go! Mang Gurtai almost roared out the words.

Goshha behind him quickly ran to give the order, and Mang Gurtai said to the two generals beside him: "Let the minions come!" Once the city wall is destroyed, the Changxing army must be blocked! ”

"Huh!" Aibali and Temblu agreed to go down separately to prepare, and just as Mang Gurtai was about to descend the wall, a cannonball hit the city wall from high in the air with a whistling sound.

The cannonball smashed directly into the bricks of the city wall and sank deep into the ground. Along the vicinity of the crater made by the shell, several small cracks appeared in the wall.

The moment the cannonball collided with the city wall, Mang Gurtai felt the ground tremble under his feet, as if the earth dragon had turned over.

Just when Mang Gurtai was surprised, Aibali picked up Mang Gurtai and ran down the city. "Master! Come on! ”

As soon as they got off the wall, a series of shells fell on the wall. The originally sturdy city wall was like a piece of broken wood that swayed in the wind and rain, and could break at any time.

The bricks on the city wall were splashed, and the people who had been on it had been smashed to a bloody pulp. Under the bombardment of the 36-pounder Chuyang cannon, the cracks in the walls grew bigger and bigger, and finally "Boom! Collapsed with a thud.

After the collapse of the city wall, the gunners of the Changxing army did not stop shelling, they adjusted the angle, part of the city began to extend the fire, and the other part continued to bombard the city walls on both sides.

In the smoke and dust, the city wall four or five feet wide was blown down. Before the artillery of the Changxing Army stopped, one of the daredevils stood up and waved his sword and shouted: "Daredevils, attack!" ”
