Jiao'zhou city has prospered in recent years because of Qingdao mouth, a few years ago to guard against Yu Guozhen, so Zhizhou deliberately rebuilt the city wall, the whole city wall is tall and majestic, it is a rare fortified city in the mainland.

Such a fortified city, if you have the heart to defend it, it is difficult to break through. Zu Kuan knew this, and the reason why he came overnight was to capture the city before Yu Guozhen could react. If he can do this, he will be at the point where he can attack and retreat, and Yu Guozhen's troops outside will also be in a dilemma.

If you come back to the rescue, you will inevitably be chased by the rest of the forces, if you don't come back to rescue, you can only see Yu Guozhen being surrounded at the mouth of Qingdao, even if Yu Guozhen himself can borrow a ship to avoid the sea, but not only the myth that Huwei has never been defeated has been broken, but it will be difficult to land and fight.

Staring coldly at the city in front of him, Zu Kuan said concisely and forcefully: "Breaking the city, I can't help but be three days!" ”

"Whew!"

The soldiers around him immediately howled, passing his orders to everyone, and the entire ancestral army suddenly boiled.

The so-called three days of prohibition means that if the knife is not sealed within three days, they can freely kill, rape and loot, and for the troops at this time, whether the officers and soldiers are rogues or prisoners, this is the best means to boost morale. As for how many people died and how many cried after this order, it is not for those who gave such an order to consider.

It's like Yu Guozhen can still kill decisively when he is in power, but after his power grows bigger and bigger, he leaves more room when he gives the order to kill. Because as long as Yu Guozhen leaves no room for error, then Huwei will double down on execution. Large-scale indiscriminate killings and even serious violations of military discipline will inevitably occur.

It's not hypocrisy, it's a sense of responsibility, and the greater the ability, the more self-control is needed.

The roaring ancestors did not wait for the formation to be completed, and began to rush towards Jiaozhou City. The news they got was that there were not many regular tiger guards in Jiaozhou City, and there were not even many weapons. Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be some slackness. And they rushed to a place less than a mile away from Jiaozhou City, and the city gate was not closed, and there was not even a single figure on the city. It looks like the Tiger Guard has completely abandoned the city.

According to Xinxiang's standard of weights and measures, one mile is 500 meters, which is already within the effective range of artillery. In this case, no cannon was fired. The last trace of worry in Zu Kuan's heart was also put down.

"As I said, Yu Guozhen is always risky and arrogant, so after being caught off guard, what he wants to do most must be to reverse it in one fell swoop. He must gather all the troops and gather them in an attempt to turn over in one fell swoop. Wu Changshi said smugly: "If he is given enough time, he will come to Jiaozhou, but now he can't react, as long as the general takes this city quickly, he can wait for Yu Guozhen to hit his head and break the blood." ”

"Mr. Wu is really amazing, and Zhuge Kongming is nothing more than that. It's like a god. Zu Kuan gave a salute immediately, but said very sincerely: "In the future, I will ask Mr. Wu to help me a lot." ”

"Well said, well said."

The two look like they are inseparable, and it is only now that they can be regarded as a real cooperation. Wu Changshi was very happy in his heart, and he only felt that life was fun. Nothing more than this, pointing out the passionate words......

Then the sound of neat muskets was heard.

At the head of Jiaozhou City, rows of gunners stood up and shot at the ancestral troops who entered the firing range, they did not pursue accuracy, only the speed of shooting. In a very short period of time, it has woven an overwhelming barrage, and also created a death line of metal and flame under Jiaozhou City.

The ancestral army that rushed out numbered no less than 10,000 people, all of them entered the firing range, and under this stormy attack, one-tenth fell to the ground, and the rest collapsed in an instant.

Although there were 60,000 of Zu Kuanbu, in fact, they were either defeated soldiers from the north or forcibly recruited recruits, and the 10,000 in front were even more miscellaneous cards, so there was almost no discipline, let alone the will to fight and tenacity. The sudden attack on the wall made it completely impossible for them to hold on.

But running away means holding your back to the wall and dying sooner. At the end of the three rounds of firing at the head of the wall, a cloud of gunpowder enveloped the city wall, and the tiger guards standing at the head of the wall could not see the situation of the battlefield clearly for the time being, but judging from the sound, the other party was running.

Wu Changshi could see the battlefield situation clearly, and his mouth still maintained a smug smile form, and he couldn't even close it. At this time, I felt a hot pain on my face, and then a sourness.

"It can't be!" He screamed in his heart, and then felt Zu Kuan's suspicious gaze.

"General Zu, didn't your scout say that there are no soldiers in the city?" Wu Changshi said sharply: "This is the soldier in the city that they detected?" ”

"My scouts are all veterans, what they said is absolutely right, these soldiers must have been sent by Yu Guozhen again!" Zu Kuan also said sharply: "Didn't you say that Yu Guozhen would inevitably have no time to react?" ”

"He didn't have time to react, Jiaozhou to Qingdaokou, is the rail road he built, there are also one hundred and thirty miles, he has enough big cars to pull troops, according to Zhou Jiesheng, no matter how fast the rail car is, an hour is only thirty miles, where can Yu Guozhen have time!"

"Now he's in time!"

"It's clear that the scouts are not scouting carefully, so it's a mistake!"

"Dog slave, dare to shout at Lao Tzu again, Lao Tzu will kill you first!" Zu Kuan where has the corners of Wu Changshi's mouth and tongue, so he argued a few words, and was stunned by Wu Changshi, he scolded, pushed Wu Changshi's several soldiers to get him to signal, directly overturned the four-wheeled vehicle, Wu Changshi fell out of it, and immediately rolled on the ground, gnawing several mouthfuls of mud.

When he got up, Zu Kuan had already ignored him and stepped forward to supervise the battle with his own soldiers.

Zu Kuan understood that when he came to this point, it was the same whether he fought Yu Guozhen under Jiaozhou City or at Qingdao Pass, at most, he was not so easy to suppress Jiaozhou. And relying on his own rabble, it is impossible not to give a death order, so after he stepped forward, he immediately ordered his own soldiers to do it, and killed hundreds of retreating routers one after another, and the army formation stabilized again.

Immediately afterwards, Zu Kuan waved his hand: "Push it up!" ”

Someone pushed ten large boxes in front of the military formation, Zu Kuan swung his knife and cut open the corner of the box, revealing the gold and silver treasures inside.

Ironically, many of them were silver dollars from Xinxiang. According to the exchange rate, this thing is roughly equivalent to the purchasing power of one tael of silver, but in fact its silver content is less than half a tael.

"After the capture, in addition to three days of forbidden, each person will be rewarded with one tael of silver, the first to enter the city, the reward of a thousand taels of silver, and the one who kills an enemy will be rewarded with ten taels of silver!"

If this promise is fully fulfilled, ten large boxes are obviously not enough, but being stimulated by the smell of blood on the battlefield, and seeing a large piece of treasure glittering, how can everyone in the ancestral army carefully distinguish whether he is telling the truth or telling a lie!

"Kill, kill, kill!" Zu Kuan's own soldiers shouted first, and then a group of recruits were enthusiastic and shouted.

They are the most motivating, and they often don't pay attention to the situation they find themselves in because of their nervousness and excitement on the battlefield. The veterans would slip away when they saw that something was wrong, but they were still stunned and charged forward.

Seeing that this group of recruits was agitated again, Zu Kuan said loudly: "There is no artillery in the city, our army has artillery, and after a while, ten thousand artillery bombardment of the city will inevitably destroy the enemy. ”

While he was stirring up morale, Wu Changshi got up.

Wu Changshi looked at Zu Kuan's back, wiped a mouthful of mud from his mouth, and was extremely resentful in his heart, but at this moment he already understood that it was definitely not the time to argue with Zu Kuan, and since Yu Guozhen was prepared, then this battle was ...... I'm afraid that there will be more luck and less luck!

Thinking that there may be more than one bad luck, Wu Changshi was secretly angry, in order to encourage Zu Kuan, he even came to the front line of the war in person, it was really unwise, the son of a daughter, he couldn't sit down, and he was not a reckless martial artist like Yu Guozhen, why did he go to the battlefield!

After the defeat, if it falls into the hands of Yu Guozhen, the end will not be good. Others don't know in their hearts, but Wu Changshi himself understands in his heart that Yu Guozhen doesn't send someone to find him, it's because he's too lazy to bother, but if he, a bedbug, appears within reach of Yu Guozhen's fingers, Yu Guozhen will definitely stretch out his fingers and press him to death.

You must leave the battlefield and get back to safety as soon as possible!

Wu Changshi had this thought, turned around and ran towards the rear.

He turned his face with Zu Kuan at the moment, and the people around him knew it, but the people in the rear army didn't know. So after running to the rear army, he found an officer, and only said that he had been ordered to go back to urge the army rations, and the officer believed it, and said that this Mr. Wu was responsible, so he was so anxious that he fell a few times, and his clothes and face were covered with mud, so he gave him a horse.

Often running around, Wu Changshi still knows how to ride a horse. He got on the horse and whipped away, at this time, behind him, there was a rumbling cannon, it should be Zu Kuan's use of artillery to attack the city, but Yu Guozhen is the most famous in the Ming Dynasty territory, Zu Kuan used artillery in front of him, and he didn't know if it was the class to get the axe, or better. In terms of Wu Changshi's fundamental interests, of course, it is better to be better, but thinking of Zu Kuan's expression when both sides shirked their responsibilities and the rudeness of those soldiers, Wu Changshi felt that the class could also relieve his anger by making an axe.

In short, the two of them will do their best together.

But the truth disappointed Wu Changshi, he ran fast, so he didn't know that the cannon was not ringing under the city, but above the city. In other words, these cannons are actually roaring from the fire of the Tiger Guard.

Yu Guozhen attaches more importance to artillery than anyone in this era, he knows that for a long time, artillery will be the king of land warfare, and the heavy tank that was later called the king of land warfare is still mobile artillery, to put it bluntly, it is still mobile artillery, and if it encounters a long-range attack by heavy artillery, the heavy tank will also face extinction. Only artillery can restrain artillery!

Therefore, the ownership rate of Huwei's artillery is extremely high, and the artillery model also focuses on actual combat, and its performance is far better than that of the Ming Dynasty's own imitation artillery. The guns of the ancestral broadband can only hit the head of the city at least about a mile away from the city, and their range is short and the accuracy is poor, but the cannon of the city head can hit a mile and a half away, and the accuracy is even better than that of the other party!

After noticing the movement of the opponent's artillery carriage, the cannon at the head of the city began to roar!
