As soon as the day dawned, the army began to light a fire to cook, and when the soldiers had eaten, Xiao Xuan beat the drum to summon the generals. At this time, Cao Wenzhao also led his troops to arrive, and when he heard that Yang Su had a way to break the city, the generals immediately had confidence, because Yang Su had always been invincible, and it was said that there was a way.

"Yesterday, General Xiao also said that these two city walls are the two city walls that stop us, and it just so happens that I have a way to break it. After breaking the city, take the opportunity to storm with the elite, this terrain is destined to us not to use many soldiers and horses, so we need a fierce general to lead the elite to take the lead, hold the gap and let my army enter the town! Yang Su looked back at the generals, pointed to Bali Town and said with a smile.

Cao Wenzhao immediately stepped forward to ask for battle, "Yang Gong, the last general is willing to go!" ”

Cao Bianjiao since the fall of Xiao Xuan, this way in order to make an inch, last night finally had the opportunity but failed to take Bali Town, heard Cao Wenzhao personally ask for battle, his face showed a trace of shame, and Cao Wenzhao came to make up for his mistakes.

"General Cao broke the Yangzhou cavalry last night, and he has not rested until now, besides, as a general, it is a loss of identity to take these hundreds of people as pioneers!" Yang Su persuaded him. He looked back at Cao Bianjiao and asked, "General Cao, would you like to fight again?" ”

"The last general obeys!" Cao Bianjiao was moved to clench his fists and shouted loudly, "The last general is willing to make a military order, if you can't capture Bali Town this time, you will be willing to accept military law!" ”

"Good!" Yang Suzheng said, "Come and see, this is my way!" ”

Yang Su pulled back the rainproof tarpaulin next to him, revealing two cannons that shimmered sharply in the sun.

"Yang Gong, is this a cannon? It's completely different from what Cao has seen before! Cao Wenzhao stared at these two cannons with wide eyes, compared to the cannons he had seen before, these two cannons looked like works of art, and the workmanship was extremely exquisite!

"It's an Italian cannon! There is a disadvantage of our cannon, and that is recoil. The recoil of the gun will push the gun back away from the gun position, not only will the soldier have to work hard to push it back into place, limiting the location that the gun can choose when placing the gun, and at the same time, it will make the aiming completely lost, so the cannon is always inaccurate, this fast gun is different! Since there is no need to push back the gun position, it can reach 30 rounds in a matter of moments! Yang Su gently stroked the cannon body and sighed.

This Italian cannon is the hidden reward that Yang Su got when he did that unspeakable task, the Italian cannon is the French M1897 75mm gun, which is the world's first modern cannon, which can be said to be an epoch-making work of artillery.

The angle of fire of the Italian cannon was better than that of the redcoat cannon, and it was only more than two thousand catties. The overall cannon length is only 2.7 meters, and it can be carried directly into the trail by four martial arts cultivators. Its range, rate of fire and power completely surpassed the small Franc cannon on the head of Bali Town. With the suppression of two Italian cannons, if Cao Bianjiao can't seize the city gate, then he can indeed be subject to military law!

The defenders at the head of Bali Town, seeing that the opposite side began to prepare for an attack again, hurriedly began to gather heavy troops at the head of the city, although they saw Yang Su ordering people to carry two cannons into the path, but they did not arouse vigilance. The two Italian guns look so small, that is, slightly larger than their Franc machine, that there is no cause for concern at all!

It is not difficult to get started with the Italian artillery, at most, let the soldiers shoot a few more cannons, and they can always try it.

Taking advantage of the time to place the cannon, Yang Suxiang had already put on three layers of heavy armor beside him, and Cao Bianjiao, who was wrapped in steel, said, "Wait a minute, as soon as the cannon sounds, don't be afraid of the bed crossbow and cannon on the opposite side, this place is narrow, you can directly line up in five teams and rush forward!" ”

Cao Bianjiao said in a solemn voice: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

Yang is known for high-explosive shells and howitzers, and is confident that even if the two Italian cannons can't collapse the city wall, the howitzers are enough to suppress the opposite side. Yang Su still understands the principle of infantry and artillery coordination.

The vanguard elite are all dressed in three layers of heavy armor, and as long as the martial arts who practice the muscles and the body to the extreme can wear hundreds of pounds of heavy armor to the city to kill the enemy, in other words, ordinary soldiers are afraid that it will be difficult to even walk, let alone send to the city.

When all the preparations were made, Yang Su ordered the cannon to be fired. For the first time, even if it is not difficult to operate the Italian cannon, the soldiers who have not been exposed to this kind of cannon still miss! Fortunately, the gunners this time were all veterans selected by Yang Su from the army, and they quickly adjusted the angle with their usual experience, and after trying a few bullets, they finally hit the head of the city directly.

The power of the shrapnel is self-evident, and the dense defenders standing at the head of the city originally had no chance of living under a single shot. After the smoke passed, the city was in shambles, with corpses and broken arms everywhere.

"Drums marching!" Yang Su waved his big hand, the big flag behind him waved, and the drums of the march were clanging, accompanied by the continuous shelling of these two Italian artillery, Cao Bianjiao led the elite to keep approaching Bali Town, and the city was already panicked at this time, Italy is not like the breech gun like the Franc machine, not to mention the bed crossbow. These live targets placed at the head of the city, in the face of the Italian cannons that had been adjusted, were destroyed in an instant.

In the face of the attacking forward, the Yangzhou defenders no longer had a systematic counterattack, only a few scattered arrows flew from the city, landed in the queue of the forwards, only heard the clanging impact, this kind of indiscriminate throwing of arrows, can not hurt the soldiers wearing heavy armor at all, those generals who rushed into the formation which is not shot into a hedgehog and still alive.

Most of the arrows that fell from above were shot at helmets and shoulder armor, and these parts were a single piece of steel armor, and there were no gaps at all, and the arrows were bounced off one after another.

Unless it's a bed crossbow or artillery, nothing can stop a formation charge of hoplites at this distance!

Cao Bianjiao walked like a fly with the heavy armored infantry, and his momentum was like a rainbow! The Bali Town in front of them is within reach, and there is nothing to stop them!

Closer, closer! The arrows from the top of the city became more and more scattered. This kind of small place undoubtedly gave the Italian artillery the best room to play. In this short half of the tea, hundreds of shells fell on the head of Bali Town, and the defenders and fortifications at the head of the city had already been blown to pieces.

Fifty steps, twenty steps! As soon as the cannon stopped, Cao Bianjiao, who was originally holding a big shield and shrunken down, immediately raised his head, looked at the city head with only broken walls and ruins left in the gunsmoke, and shouted, "Siege!" ”

The original one-zhang high city wall has already collapsed, Cao Bianjiao jumped into the city, Yangzhou defenders had no resistance at all, and Cao Bianjiao led the vanguard as if he was not fighting, but cleaning up the battlefield.

Cannons, the god of war, finally showed their due fangs, and the Yangzhou defenders gathered at the head of the city did not think of dodging the bombardment of the cannons at all, so there were countless casualties. The defenders who were originally in the town did not expect the city to be destroyed so quickly, and they were unprepared at all.

In the face of the sudden killing, Cao Bianjiao was defeated and retreated, and he held on for a few breaths in close combat, and was killed.
