On the arrow tower at the head of the city, Man Gui held the hilt of his sword in his hand, and watched the Jianyu rolling in with cold eyes, without the slightest panic on his face.

But under the arrow tower, those ordinary soldiers were not so calm. Most of them are soldiers in the Beijing camp, and they have been working all year round, and they go into battle to kill the enemy, what kind of thing is that, they have never been in contact with it at all!

Although they had also seen Jianyu attacking the city before, at that time, there was the army of King Qin outside the city to block it first. Now all they can rely on is the Jingshi City Wall, and it is impossible not to panic.

Not only them, but also those civil and military officials watching the battle on the inner city wall behind them, there were also many panicked. Many imperial historians or Langzhong waiters or something, seeing that Jianyu was getting closer and closer, but there was no movement on the city, they first shouted, and then added the action of jumping feet: "Open the cannon, open the cannon!" Hugh had to let Jianyu get close to ......"

Hearing the shouts of those officials, the soldiers were a little panicked, but fortunately, there were Mangui's family members in the formation, they only obeyed the military orders of the marshal, but they were still stable.

On the arrow tower of the inner city, on the floor of Hu Guang, except for the vacant seats beside him, there were those who stood the tallest in the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing this situation, the auxiliary minister Zhou Yanru was a little panicked, he thought that Man Gui had not ordered an artillery attack yet, because he was afraid of accidentally injuring the rout soldiers who were running and fleeing in front of him, so he couldn't help but be angry and anxious, and immediately turned around and played to Hu Guangguang: "Your Majesty, the minister has to play!" ”

Hu Guangzheng looked at this kind of battlefield of ancient cold weapons, felt the golden iron horse, and slightly felt that his blood seemed to be a little boiling. When he was wondering if he was born to adapt to the battlefield, he heard Zhou Yanru's voice, and couldn't help but turn his head and ask, "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, I think it's ......" Zhou Yanru hadn't finished speaking, when he suddenly heard that there seemed to be abnormal movement outside the city, and he couldn't help but glance at it, and was stunned for a moment.

Hu Guang also noticed it, turned his head to look, but saw that in the torrent rolling in the line of Jianlu, suddenly a part of the Jianlu cavalry accelerated significantly, and chased after the Ming army who were running wildly with a strange scream, smiling and slashing at the knife, and for a while, blood gushed out, and people flew wildly.

There were even some powerful prisoners, armed with iron guns, with the help of horsepower, through the backs of the routs, and picked up the situation, watching them pick up the routs one by one with their guns still struggling in pain, and roaring and approaching with strange screams.

The soldiers at the head of the city were so frightened that their faces were bloodless, and even the legs of many soldiers were trembling unconsciously. The civilian and military generals who were still shouting just now had long forgotten to shout and urge, and stayed there directly. Fortunately, they are not on the outer city wall, otherwise they would have been scared to pee.

The main general, Man Gui, looked at these coldly, sneering in his heart, knowing that this was one of the usual methods used by Jianyu to undermine his own morale.

When he saw that behind these captives, relying on their skillful horsemanship, groups of captives were rushing towards the city wall in rows carrying ladders, and he knew that these captives were going to attack the city in one go.

This made him a little surprised, because only this part of the Jianyu had already made a siege posture, and the other parts of the Jianyu had not yet approached, and it seemed a little disjointed, which didn't seem to be the situation that Jianyu should have.

But at this time, he didn't care about the reason, and immediately ordered the cannon to be fired.

At the head of Jingshi City, Hongyi cannons, as well as general cannons, and large Franc machine guns opened fire one after another.

I saw that under the accompaniment of the sound of "boom, boom, boom", the smoke of gunpowder filled the city, and I couldn't see the situation outside clearly for a while.

But Man Gui on the head of the arrow tower in the outer city could see it, only to see iron eggs flying out one after another.

Some fell into the moat, smashed through the thin ice and disappeared; Some didn't fly straight to Jianyu at all, but flew out diagonally, and it didn't have any effect.

Of course, there are also iron eggs that fall and smash into the pile, tearing apart everything they can encounter, whether it is a war horse or a human body in armor, all of them are disemboweled. But it was like throwing a small stone into the sea, with only a small splash, and then it was drowned by the army in the blink of an eye.

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves continued, and the building was getting closer and closer. At the head of the city, the shelling continued. The first shot is preloaded, and the second shot needs to be reloaded.

Thanks to the howling cold wind, the smoke at the head of the city only filled for a while before it was blown away by the wind. Hu Guang also happened to see the effect of the shelling, which made him frown. After thinking about it for a while, I suddenly felt so funny, and the fortified city was a cannon, which was just nonsense.

At this time, the artillery fired iron eggs. And the iron egg is launched at the head of the city, not to mention the problem of the hit rate of aiming, let's say that the iron egg flies out from the height of the city head from the mouth of the cannonball, falls to the ground in a parabola, and then needs to bounce to kill and injure the enemy. Even if the enemies are lined up for you to fight, it is estimated that you will not be able to kill many enemies until you are old. Not to mention the siege of the city, it is all scattered.

For the battle of the large army, this kind of artillery defending the city and shelling the enemy is more of a deterrent effect. However, now that the enemy outside has been in battle for a long time and has seen a lot of artillery, it is strange that they can be intimidated.

In fact, the most useful place for this kind of artillery is to siege the city. As long as the cannon is large enough and the range is far enough, aiming at a target as large as the city gate or city wall that cannot be moved, after firing many times in a row, it will definitely be able to collapse the city head or city gate, which is really the most effective siege weapon.

Hu Guangzheng was thinking so, and suddenly saw a flash of fire at the head of the city in front of him, and then the smoke of gunpowder came out, only to hear the sound of "boom", but saw a big general's cannon explode, and the surrounding soldiers were immediately killed and wounded. There were even fragments that spread to the side of the civil and military officials on the side of the inner city wall, and a few people suddenly broke their skin.

Man Gui apparently noticed it too, and immediately someone was ordered to come down from the arrow tower and reorganize the defense of this area. But with such a lesson, the other gunners suddenly became afraid, and the speed of the artillery firing was a match for the speed of the presbyopia's grandmother threading the needle.

This accident at the head of the city made the Mang Gultai outside the city even more convinced that his intimidation strategy had worked, and he did not want to wait for the other two Heshubel leaders to come up, so he hurriedly urged his men to attack quickly.

After the cavalry carrying the ladder rushed to the moat, they dismounted and carried the ladder to the moat. All of a sudden, on the outside of the moat, there were already a lot of prisoners.

Behind these ladders, another group of captives dismounted and took out their bows and began to shoot arrows at the top of the city to cover them.

Of course, the bows and arrows on the head of the city, bird guns and other long-range weapons are also aimed at the construction of the city, shooting arrows and firing.

The battle to defend the capital division entered a white-hot stage at the beginning.
