"Bang-"

The continuous sound of artillery guns immediately covered the entire battlefield, and the city was full of dense intruders.

At such times, any cannon that can be fired will almost never miss, because even if you are blind, as long as you are not aiming in the sky, you can hit the intruder in any other direction.

The intruders soon suffered casualties, and the people who rushed to the front were obviously vacated, but they were quickly filled by the follow-up intruders.

These outcasts looked different from what they had seen in previous years, and at that time, they were really outcasts, and they were pulled into battle without wearing any armor.

However, this difference is only reflected in the naked eye, and the inner has not changed much.

Probably the result of years of fighting with officers and soldiers, almost all of these intruders who stayed in the camp had knives and guns, and most of them wore rudimentary leather armor, but that was limited to that.

At present, even the clothes and armor on the bodies of these homeless campers have entered the standardization, everyone has a yellow scarf on their heads, and the white arrow clothes they wear are embroidered with the word "Chuang" in the middle, which is obviously much better than when they went into battle with wooden sticks and plows in previous years, and there was no protection on their bodies.

The main general went to the city to do it himself, which often gave the rest of the soldiers a great morale boost, and after the punishment knife was pressed on the city wall for the first time, he could already see the distribution of the invading army under a simple visual inspection.

In addition to these "fearless death" homeless camp cannon fodder, Liu Zongmin also left a lot of people on both sides, they were dressed the same as the homeless campers, but they did not move a step, but they were specifically responsible for waving the flag and shouting.

In front of the battle, some intruders also shook back and forth with knives and guns, but they kept shouting and scolding at the city.

Seeing this situation, Xing Yidao snorted coldly, these rogues actually know how to use the trick of fanning to build momentum.

Liu Zongmin rode a horse, surrounded by capable old battalion foot soldiers and horse teams, although he was very arrogant in his heart, but he also knew the truth that he could not take it lightly, and was watching the changes in the field, issuing various orders at any time.

Behind them were rows of patchwork archers, who, under the orders of several leaders, divided into several groups, shot their arrows in clusters towards the city.

"Whoosh ......"

Seeing the power of this arrow cluster, the Shandong soldiers, who were originally a little nervous, were relieved, and the long-range shooting ability of the Chuang army and the Tartars outside the customs were not a little bit worse.

Most of the arrows were thrown, and I don't know if it was because of their strength or some other factor, they had lost their strength a hundred paces away from the city wall, and fell loosely to the ground.

However, the ridiculous thing is that despite the weak and weak arrow clusters, they can actually cause accidental damage to the intruders who shouted to kill the rushing soldiers below.

It can be seen that although the clothes worn by these intruders have been changed, and at first glance they seem to be an elite division, but the inside is still unchanged, and they are not as well-protected as the Shandong army.

The specifications of the expansion of the city are not large, and the power of the Shandong army has only been covered for a short time, so there is no time to make effective changes to the various defenses inside and outside the city, so the firepower in the city is not very sufficient, and even half of the firearms battalion of the soldiers is not comparable.

There are only a few hundred guns of all kinds, and there are not many large and small artillery, in addition, the rest is nothing more than some weak bows and a number of earth firearms, if it is just this kind of firepower against the Tartars outside Shangguan, it will not last for half a day and the city will be broken.

But the following is not at all capable of long-range attack, only knowing that the army is blindly piling up people, the two sides cannot talk about the same day at all, one side has many people, one side is elite, at least there is still the capital to persevere.

Liu Zongmin, the general of the army, is the first person in the army except for Li Zicheng, the king of the army, regardless of qualifications or force, and his orders on the battlefield are beyond doubt, and there is no leader who is tired of doing it.

Having said that, at this time, the formation of the intrusive army was already very loose, and after the head-on attack of the Shandong army in the city, there were continuous casualties, but this was not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that after withstanding such constant blows, the seemingly powerful intruding army has actually broken and fled sporadically, and a very small number of people have secretly retreated or stayed away from the battlefield.

However, this situation is not conspicuous among everyone, including Liu Zongmin himself, in fact, not many people have found out.

When they rushed to the bottom of the city wall, the intruders suddenly found that they did not have any tools to break through the city gate except for the rudimentary ladder in their hands.

Liu Zongmin obviously realized this, and immediately shouted for someone to cut down the tree to make a temporary one, but it didn't take long for someone to run back panting to report that the woods around Tuocheng were almost all bald, and there was nothing left at all.

Liu Zongmin couldn't help it, but the next moment he figured it out, and with a sneer, he didn't ask more.

In fact, Liu Zongmin didn't regard this as a big deal in his heart, there were so many homeless people, wouldn't it be easy to attack the city wall.

Not to mention that there are still a lot of internal responses to the army in the city at this time, this kind of city often does not need to be attacked, and the army outside the city often makes a huge appearance, waiting for the defenders inside to be in chaos, and then there are people vying to go out to "meet the king".

Countless ladders are shouted by those intruders on the battlements of the city, although this kind of ladder does not have a car, very simple, but the overall is very high, often there are special people to press below, plus many intruders have climbed up for the first time, so it is difficult to be pushed down directly.

However, this kind of battle is not the process of the two sides seeing each other's moves, as a local wealthy family, Kong Luan is really more concerned about this kind of invasion of the army and attacking the city than anyone else, because once Li Zicheng is allowed to enter the city, it will be them who will suffer.

As the largest local wealthy family in Guide, Kong Luan clearly understands that when the time comes, he will be the "chicken" who was killed and set an example for the monkey, since he has already hugged Wang Zheng, a thick thigh that is no less than Li Zicheng, there is only one way to fight to the death.

Therefore, Kong Luan has been walking everywhere in the past few days, whether it is soft or hard, anyway, he must try his best to figure out everything that can be arranged and prepared.

On the wall of the city, a huge hanging log is hung every other section.

This kind of thing is already terrifying just by looking at it, and the people at that time gave it a very vivid and terrible name - wolf tooth beat.

In order to destroy the enemy's siege equipment on the city walls, especially the ladders that are relatively rudimentary and thin, but often used by thieves, and more effectively repel the besieging enemy, the so-called wolf tooth slap came into being.

Of course, although this kind of heavy fortification equipment is very effective, it is not possible to place it anywhere, not to mention the high cost of counterfeiting, and the wood and raw materials used are also quite particular.

At present, there are no more than 100 wolf teeth placed on the walls of the four city walls of Tuocheng, and there are only more than 1,000 iron nails embedded on them.

It is said that the wolf's tooth slap on the capital of Beijing and the rich state capital Dacheng was installed by the Wanli Imperial Court, and there were more than 2,000 iron nails on each piece, all of which were made of high-quality elm, and the end was solid and terrifying.

Xing Yidao has no doubt that if he is smashed on his body by this thing, even if he is a Qing Tartar with three layers of heavy armor inside and outside, he is afraid that he will immediately lose his combat ability, and it is estimated that he will only be lying on the ground and wailing at that time.

There are iron rings fixed on the plywood before and after the wolf's tooth beat, and when used, because it is very heavy, the soldiers of the Shandong army often have to pull the tight rope together and throw it down, and finally pull it back together.

To put it bluntly, this wolf tooth shot is actually an upgraded version of the sandalwood that has been used to defend the city.

In fact, there are many instruments and firearms with various functions in the Central Plains, and the role is often very significant, which is one of the precious crystallizations of the nation for thousands of years, but most of them are shelved due to funds and various reasons.

Even if it is used, it often does not exert its due power, and it is embarrassing and sighing to say.
