The fourth volume of the sharp blade out of the sheath Shenzhou moves

Amid the roar of artillery, the Tartars in the city suffered extremely heavy losses.

The city walls were smashed, the rocks collapsed, the walls were hit, and immediately a large area was recessed, and the masonry fell from mid-air, and a large number of holes immediately appeared in the originally smooth city walls.

A few shells fell on the city tower, the bricks and stone tiles that were hit collapsed, and there were bursts of exclamations on the city tower, and some people jumped directly from the city tower, directly falling on the ground more than ten meters high, with a loud bang.

More large quantities of shells fell on the city, in the midst of thousands of completely unsuspecting defenders, and the shells flew down and collided again with the crowd, and countless people were hit by the shells.

It's just that this round of bombardment, at least 100 lives have been harvested, and there are many more wounded. The results of this round of shelling were brilliant.

The second round was only a dozen breaths apart from the first, and the guns were cleared and recharged faster than the guns, and with the efforts of the 11-man artillery crew, the guns were reset, cleared, and loaded.

Then the powder bag fuse is lit again, the powder bag bursts, spraying fire, and the cannonball flies out again, flying straight to the target.

From Qin Haoming's point of view, this is a very spectacular scene!

Although someone died very tragically, Qin Haoming did not feel sorry or regretful.

This is war, a war to the death, and as they wail, think of the heinous sins they have committed.

If someone likes to forgive, if they like to convince others with virtue, then do it in their own way.

In Qin Haoming's heart, at this moment, he only appreciated the situation in front of him, and everything made him feel extremely proud.

The rocks collapsed, blood splattered, and people were blown up by shells.

These descendants of the Mongolian iron cavalry who once crisscrossed Europe and Asia, and the northern wolf cavalry, who had broken the border entrance many times and brought endless pain to the people of the Ming Dynasty, are now crawling under artillery fire.

They died like worms, or they were badly injured and wailed.

There were even quite a few men who looked fierce and stout, prostrate on the ground under artillery fire, trembling with fright, and even crying bitterly.

After twelve rounds of shelling, there was a dead silence on the city, except for the strong smell of sulfur and the light smoke rising from the city.

The city was littered with corpses, and the people who had been blown apart shed not only blood, but also their internal organs, and there were severed arms, heads, arms, thighs, and intestines......

Blood flowed, shells and rubble piled up, spears and bows and arrows were thrown all over the ground.

Zhang Yun observed from the height of the command vehicle, his eyes looking around, observing the situation of the entire battlefield.

The Tartars had never experienced such a high-intensity artillery bombardment, and the successive rounds of shelling directly broke the defenses of the entire city wall.

A large number of fortresses were shattered, and the city was in chaos, full of stumps and dead bodies, and those who moved a little faster had already run down the towers, hiding in the corners of the city or running away.

There are also people hiding in the hidden soldier hole, in the Ming military system, most of the city walls have empty hidden soldier holes.

There are many Tartars on the head of the city who are quite anxious, and when they flee for their lives, the cannonballs whizz down, and the bottom of the city is not safe, but the hiding hole is very thick.

The shells only broke the bricks on one side of the city wall, making small holes, which were difficult to break through the defenses and threaten the interior of the cave.

Zhang Yun saw that the city tower was damaged in many places, and it seemed that there were still beams and pillars that had been hit, and the entire city tower was still filled with violent smoke and dust, which made people unable to see clearly.

But from the screams and movements of the enemy fleeing, Zhang Yun keenly judged that there were not many people in the city.

As generals, the control of the battlefield and the judgment of fighters are very important, and this is the standard for testing whether they are qualified.

"It's a pity." When the shelling stopped, the frightened Tartars came up again, but they learned their lesson and did not pile up near the forts, but mostly remained under the city or in the caves.

The Tartars had collapsed during the bombardment, but when the shelling stopped, Ao Bai forced the herdsmen and armoured soldiers to walk up to the city again.

These people were shocked, but as long as there were people in the city, it meant that the city defense system had not completely collapsed, and Zhang Yun's regret was that he had not prepared equipment such as ladders or rushing cars in advance, otherwise he could have broken through the city directly.

"How can it be so simple?" Qin Haoming smiled and said: "The trapped beasts are still fighting, and the Tartars are surrounded by us on all sides, and their way of life is cut off.

After the ants landed in the city, our army had to pay a considerable number of casualties before it could be captured.

I wanted to take this city sooner, but if I had to pay a lot of casualties, it would be more than worth the loss. ”

Zhang Yun nodded and said, "In this case, I will ask the artillery to fire a round every half an hour." The soldiers and civilians are making preparations, and they can start moving in the afternoon. ”

The artillery base of the Dingnan Army was 12 rounds of continuous bombardment, which was determined according to the load of each towed gun truck and ammunition car.

In addition to pulling shells, a large cart also had ammunition stored in barrels, a considerable number of artillery aids, and possibly shotguns and grenades in the future.

On high marches, ammunition wagons may also have to carry gunners, and for the time being, the barrels need to be cooled down for a long time after twelve rounds of bombardment before they can be used again.

The base ammunition of the entire artillery was also determined after many training exercises and live-fire exercises.

The bombardment just now has just finished a base, and according to Zhang Yun's arrangement, it is estimated that the Tartars will not be able to stop this day.

"Don't be too fixed." Qin Haoming reminded: "Otherwise, they will hide when the point comes, let's remind them to eat." ”

Zhang Yun agreed with a smile, and Yan Yingyuan on the side said with a rare sigh: "In this way, the people who have stayed in the city for the past two days are really like a year." ”

In the afternoon, the soldiers and men had prepared about the same amount of earthwork, and a large number of sacks were put into use.

The Governor's Palace has never lacked supplies, not only sacks, but also quite a lot of shovels with sharp steel mouths and various tools.

With more than 20,000 people and 20,000 soldiers, the amount of earthwork dug up in one afternoon is already very amazing.

In the evening, the soldiers began to pile sacks in the selected places.

When the soldiers appeared, only a small number of observation posts remained at the head of the city, and even half of the tower at the south gate was destroyed, which made many people feel sorry......

Obviously, after taking the tile house, everyone will have to spend effort to repair the castle tower.

After each round of shelling, many military officials who regarded the tile shop as their bag wept and howled wolf.

When the soldiers and men appeared in front of the battle, the Tartars at the head of the city were also in a commotion.

It may be that they did not understand the meaning for a while, but after the first round of dirt bags were placed and strengthened according to the instructions of the sappers, a half-man-high mound of earth about 200 paces long and 30 paces wide suddenly appeared in the eyes of the northern captives at the head of the city.

Obviously, the Tartars at the head of the city were in a panic, and someone rushed down the tower, which should have been reported.

Qin Haoming and the others looked at the performance of the city with interest, they all had monoculars.

The people at the head of the city are the size of mole crickets in the telescope, and they scream and run, and the expressions on their faces can be faintly seen, which is a very interesting experience.

On the battlefield, the people seem to have become cruel, taking pleasure in seeing the pain and panic of the enemy.

Even the civilian officials watched it with relish, and for them the war in front of them was not tense at all, but rather a kind of leisure and relaxation.
