"Brothers, listen well, break the enemy into the city, and relax the ban for three days!"

His eyes opened suddenly, Li Peicheng almost couldn't believe his ears, although he had heard of Chu Yong's bravery and robbery, but he never thought that the first thing Jiang Zhongjun said was "relax the ban for three days".

What is a three-day relaxation confinement?

There are a lot of records in the ancient books, to put it bluntly, after the city was broken, the officers and soldiers were allowed to burn, kill and loot in the city for three days, which is almost equivalent to three days of slaughter. And what made Li Peicheng feel even more frightened was that after Jiang Zhongjun shouted "relax the ban for three days", not only did Chu Yong led by him immediately shake off his previous tired color, but he also hurriedly led the thousand five hundred Ding Yong, who was also eager to try.

The three-day relaxation is to allow the soldiers to loot on a large scale, and once the enemy is broken, everyone can reap a lot of benefits! For Bing Yong, who only has two taels of silver a month, how can he not be excited.

"My lord, the military heart is available!"

"The adults are really famous generals in the world when they say ...... morale."

The surrounding entourage and subordinates saw that their morale was raised, and they immediately bent down in unison and praised loudly.

"Hmm!"

Jiang Zhongjun smiled and nodded again, then shook the reins and took the lead towards the back of his own military formation. Then he kept a distance of about 40 zhang from his own army.

When Jiang Zhongjun retreated to the rear of the army formation, in the middle of the five battalion infantry, eight artillery pieces had been pushed to the front.

When the cannon was pushed to the front, Jiang Zhongjun's handsome flag was also planted.

"Victory! Win! Win! ”

When the soldiers saw the banner raised, they immediately tore their throats and shouted loudly. In an instant, all Chu Yong and Han Yong shouted along.

"Victory! Win! Win! ”

Perhaps due to the influence of Chu Yong's undefeated "fame", these people at this time were all dancing with their teeth and claws, full of confidence. Those pairs of red eyes were all wide open, staring at the Cantonese bandits with their backs to Huangzhou City, and they had the meaning of breaking the army in one fell swoop and breaking the city by homeopathy, as for the next ...... Naturally, it was a three-day plunder.

Silver is grabbed casually, and women sleep casually......

It only took a little imagination to imagine that pair of red eyes immediately became fanatical, and at this time, Jiang Zhongjun, who was riding on horseback, noticed that the artillery team had already loaded the cannons, so he commanded the soldiers beside him.

"Fire!"

"Shelling!"

Almost as soon as a few clouds of white smoke poured out of the enemy's position, James immediately roared. Although he spoke English, the white smoke that spewed out from the official army formation more than two hundred feet away, the big guys all watched, almost as soon as James's roar fell, several cannons fell near the position, and one of them smashed directly on the bamboo basket filled in the earth, but unexpectedly, the breastwork was almost immovable.

Well......

This cannon ...... Although he knew that the double-layered three-foot-thick breastwork was enough to withstand the shelling of nine-pounder guns hundreds of yards away, it was the first time that James had encountered such an artillery bombardment - the opponent's cannon could not shake the breastwork at all, to be precise, the opponent's cannon power was too limited.

For Qian Fakui, who was standing behind the chest wall, in the dust that was blown away by the cannon, he was drenched with dust, but he didn't have any sense of luck, he even grabbed the gun tightly because of nervousness, but at the same time, his whole body was trembling, not only he was trembling, in fact, the people around him were also trembling, if there was no wall, maybe they would have been torn to pieces.

"It's just a few earthen cannons!"

Putting down the monoculars in his hand, the solidity of the position made Zhu Yifeng, who was still a little worried, breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time nodded at the standard-bearer beside him, and the standard-bearer standing on the earthen rampart immediately waved the small flag in his hand, and the gunner who was instructed then pulled the tail flint machine.

Really...... Just when Jiang Zhongjun saw the cannon hit the bamboo basket, and frowned slightly because the bamboo basket did not move at all, between those bamboo baskets, several clouds of smoke suddenly erupted, and with the smoke of the big smoke, one by one black spheres swept through the air, and the speed of those iron was not fast, and even Jiang Zhongjun, who was riding on the horse, had an illusion that this iron could be grabbed casually.

But in the next moment, his thoughts were broken with a burst of screams, and the spherical seemingly extremely slow cannon accurately "smashed" in the team that was originally excited because of the three-day plunder, and immediately set off a bloody storm, Ding Yong's head standing at the forefront was smashed by the cannon like a watermelon, and then the cannon that continued to move forward smashed the head and shoulders of the soldiers in the rear, and then smashed the shoulders of another soldier, and the arm that was broken was even thrown into the air, when the remaining strength of the cannon was exhausted, even smashed a Ding Yong's leg, and these few cannons that fell in the formation took the lives of more than a dozen people in an instant, but between the earthen walls more than two zhang away, there were still clouds of smoke and flames.

Compared to Chu Yong's inaccurate and limited power shells, the accuracy of the shells fired by the sailors was almost as accurate as that of a rifle - in fact, they only needed to ensure that the shells could be fired into the enemy formation, and every shell that fell in the enemy formation would always reap the lives of more than a dozen people.

After the formation was bombarded one after another, Jiang Zhongjun immediately realized that he seemed to have really underestimated the enemy this time, not to mention anything else, just ...... Looking at the cannonballs the size of a human head that fell to the ground after the strength on the ground was exhausted in the distance, he felt a chill in his heart, what kind of remnants are there, it is clearly the elite of the Cantonese bandits, otherwise, how can there be such a heavy artillery.

Just when the team was in chaos, Jiang Zhongjun immediately stepped forward and cut down a soldier with a knife.

"Retreater, slash!"

When the soldiers beside him used knives to cut Ding Yong, who was trying to retreat, to the ground, Jiang Zhongjun shouted to the third brother.

"The thief army is fierce, the third one, you lead two battalions of soldiers to rush over from the left, and I lead three battalions to fight from the front......"

Jiang Zhongjun's legs clamped the horse's belly, and he knew very well in his heart that if he retreated now, the other party would definitely wave his army to pursue, and when the time came, this retreat would become a rout, and the morale would not be discouraged!

When Jiang Zhongjun adjusted his deployment, the gunners behind the breastwork wall had been constantly adjusted under the sticks of the sailors in the past month, just like the past training, constantly firing shells according to the prescribed movements, and their rate of fire was actually fast, at most two guns in a minute, but it sounded that the sound of the guns was continuous - the continuous shelling one after another gave people the illusion of a large number of artillery, and every time, they would always constantly adjust the firing angle and firing boundary of the artillery. At this time, the Western-style field artillery mount gave full play to its strengths.

And for Jiang Zhongjun, a veteran of the battlefield, after suffering two rounds of shelling, he immediately realized that his only option now was to attack.

With an order, the three battalions of Han Yong under the leadership of Li Peicheng immediately rushed towards the "Cantonese bandits" position, their ranks may be said to be chaotic, almost like a swarm of bees rushed up, so that it is said that it looks like soldiers, but it is better to say that it is like a group of people, but this chaos minimizes the killing of artillery shells, they are holding knives in one hand, shields in the other, and more people are just holding a simple red tassel gun.

"Shrapnel ......"

At James's shouting, the gunners immediately stuffed the chambers with shotguns, and as they loaded the guns, nearly 3,000 Ding Yong were desperately rushing forward.

Behind the earthen wall, in the face of the enemy rushing up, Lin Yuqing, as the commander of the pro-soldier battalion, kept roaring.

"Steady!"

"Steady!"

Every time, his orders will be repeated by the squad and platoon leaders in the queue, these soldiers armed with foreign guns are their biggest support, it can be said that whether they can win this battle depends on whether they can shoot non-stop and steadily as in training.

"Ten rounds per person is enough......"

Xue Hailong, who was standing in the front row, held a tasseled gun in his hand, silently thinking about the pre-war mobilization in his heart, while the soldiers beside him were carrying rifles. Staring at the approaching enemy, two words burst out of his mouth as he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Raise your gun!"

Nearly 100 soldiers standing in the front row raised their rifles in their hands almost simultaneously with the roars of more than a dozen commanders, and at the same time pulled the hammer backwards to pull it from the safe position to the waiting position.

"Wait!"

During the multi-second wait, Xue Hailong, as the squad leader, like everyone else, sweat slid down his forehead, and suddenly, at the moment when the sweat slid down, he heard the platoon commander's shout.

"Put!"

A neat row of gunfire instantly overwhelmed this roar, white gunpowder smoke filled the front of the line, nearly a hundred scorching projectiles flew out of the barrel at high speed, scrambling to rush towards the enemy army rushing forward, those who held the shield Lian Yong at that moment, instinctively raised the wooden shield in his hand, but what they were facing was not the lead sand shot by the bow or arrow, but the projectile with a diameter of more than half an inch.

The heavy lead pellet first pierced through the wooden shield, deforming and twisting into the bodies of those who practiced bravery, churning between their bones and internal organs......
