Zhang Feng looked into the distance with a calm face, looking at those Tartars in action, Zhang Feng knew that the Tartars were preparing to attack the city, and Zhang Feng was not worried about the Tartars attacking the city at all.

Because the Tianjin Guardhouse was expanded and reinforced, using cement, stone and large blue bricks, the Tatars did not want to break through such a fortified city, and Zhang Feng was concerned about whether all the regiments and brigades had reached the designated positions.

Zong Dechao walked over quickly, walked in front of Zhang Feng, and said loudly and happily: "Commander-in-chief, all our troops have reached the designated position, and everything is going according to plan. ”

"Good!"

Hearing the news, Zhang Feng was relieved and happily remembered that this time, Lao Tzu would play a big game and teach these Tartars who don't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth a good lesson.

Outside the city.

The Tartars began to arrange their troops and prepare to attack the city, and the thousands of troops in the forefront were in the forefront, and the siege would die, especially a fortified city like Tianjin Wei, the first wave of siegers would definitely suffer heavy casualties, and these thousands of troops were used as cannon fodder for the charge by the Tartars.

In addition to these cannon fodder, there were other siege troops, such as the troops of the Eight Banners of the Mongol Army and the Eight Banners of the Han Army, but the most conspicuous were the musket battalions and artillery battalions of the Tartars.

The outside of the Tianjin Acropolis is open and flat, and so many people in the Tartars can be completely placed, and the two musket battalions of the Tartars are in good formation, and each musket battalion has six neat rows, each row has more than 500 people.

There were three musket battalions in the Tartars, two of which appeared outside the Tianjin Acropolis, and one did not appear for the time being, I don't know if it was used as a reserve or if it was arranged otherwise.

The two artillery battalions of the Tartars have all come up, and they are setting up cannons outside the Tianjin Acropolis, and the red-coated cannons are neatly arranged one by one, and the Tartar artillery is busy for a while.

According to the siege plan, the Tartars intended to attack the city with artillery first.

Duoduo rode on his tall horse and watched the two artillery battalions busy, nodding in satisfaction from time to time as he watched.

Dare to put so many red-coated cannons so blatantly outside the Tianjin Acropolis, because Duoduo has sent people to carefully investigate, there are no cannons to defend the city on the Tianjin Acropolis City, since there are no cannons to defend the city, there is no problem to deploy so many red-coated cannons directly outside the city.

Because you don't have artillery to defend the city, you can't hit the Tartar artillery battalion with cannon fodder.

There were several Tartar generals next to Duoduo, and one of them looked in the direction of Tianjin Wei and said happily: "Master, they are too arrogant, they don't even deploy cannons on the city wall. ”

Another general immediately said, "They think their muskets are powerful, and they think they can deal with our red-coated cannons." ”

"Haha......"

The Tartar generals all laughed, as if mocking the warriors for defending the city without cannons, and even Duoduo laughed.

Duoduo has confirmed it many times and very carefully, and has sent many groups of people to the Tianjin Guards City to observe at close range, and even to the position within two or three hundred meters from the Tianjin Guards, if it were not for the soldiers defending the city to drive them away with muskets, the Tartars who came to investigate would probably dare to run to a position within two hundred meters of the Tianjin Guards.

After repeated confirmation, there is indeed no artillery on the Tianjin Guards, not even small artillery, but there are many soldiers defending the city on the city wall.

After confirmation, although Duoduo did not understand why the cannons of the city were not deployed on the Tianjin Guards, the opportunity was in front of him, and with a wave of his hand, the two artillery battalions were all pulled up, and they were set up outside the Tianjin Guards City, erected artillery, and prepared to bombard the Tianjin Guards.

Among these Tartar generals, the only one did not laugh, but frowned slightly, looked at the direction of the Tianjin Guards, and said slowly: "Master, I feel that something is wrong, they don't deploy cannons to defend the city on the city wall, it's not normal." ”

Immediately, another Tartar general retorted, "There is something wrong, the facts are in front of you, there is indeed no garrison cannon on their city wall, this point, we have repeatedly determined, there will be no mistake." ”

Duoduo said: "You don't have to worry, they don't have any conspiracy, we will know with a bombardment of artillery, this time, we are two artillery battalions, equipped with siege weapons and red-coated cannons, what are we afraid of." ”

"Yes, what are we afraid of, it should be them who are afraid, not only do we have a large number of red-coated cannons, in addition, we have seventy or eighty thousand warriors, and the number is several times more than them."

"Not only do we have seventy or eighty thousand warriors, but we also have three musket battalions, three whole musket battalions, and it's exciting enough to think about it, and I can't wait a little longer, I want to see what our artillery battalion and musket battalion are like attacking the city."

Seeing that these Tartar generals next to him were full of confidence, Duoduo waved his hand and said loudly: "Pass the order, as soon as the city wall is broken, everyone will enter the city, kill them, kill them!" ”

Hearing such an order, the Tartar generals next to them became excited and excited in an instant, and all 70,000 or 80,000 people rushed into the city, how spectacular it would be.

on the city walls.

Zhang Feng held a telescope and knew that all the brigades and regiments had entered the designated positions, and the Tartars outside the city seemed to know nothing.

The Tartars lined up outside the city, erected artillery, and prepared to attack the city, while Zhang Feng was fully prepared, Zhang Feng did not have no artillery to defend the city, but prepared a lot of artillery, all of which were the latest breech-loading artillery.

After several months of construction, with thousands of laborers working day and night, the artillery factory was finally completed and put into operation, and the production of breech-loading guns began.

The breech-loading gun has long been successfully trial-produced in the Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, and even began mass production in the Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau.

After the completion of the artillery factory, the personnel and equipment for the manufacture of artillery were transferred from the Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau to the artillery factory, and the mass production of artillery began immediately.

The first batch of 70 mm field guns produced by the artillery factory, which was loaded from the port of Shanghai and then arrived at the port of Tianjin in view of the tense situation in Tianjin.

The soldiers of the artillery regiment of the independent division, who were accustomed to seeing breech-loading guns, saw such breech-loading guns for the first time, and everyone was fiercely happy.

Everyone quickly understood and familiarized themselves with the performance of these guns, this is the first time these guns have been put into real combat, and all of them have been deployed, a full 36 70 mm breech loading guns.

And the Tartars, including Duoduo, mistakenly thought that Zhang Feng did not prepare cannons to defend the city, but in fact, Zhang Feng prepared 36 guns, and they were still breech-loading guns.

It's just that these cannons are not deployed behind the city walls, and in the city, Duoduo and the others can't see them, unless they have clairvoyance or clairvoyance, otherwise, they can't see these deployed artillery.

Thinking that Zhang Feng did not deploy the artillery to defend the city, and thought that Zhang Feng was just defending the city with muskets, because of this, the Tartars unscrupulously arranged troops outside the city, set up cannons outside the city, and even two artillery battalions were all pulled up, and the artillery outside the city was blatantly erected.

Zhang Feng had a telescope, and the officers next to Zhang Feng also had telescopes, and everyone used the telescope to see the situation in the Tartars outside the city clearly.

In addition to being a little colder, the weather is good today, the sky is clear, the sky is blue, and the sun shines down, shining on people lazily, very comfortable.

In this era, there is basically no industrial pollution, no smog, air visibility is very good, and you can see very far with a monocular.

Zhang Feng has good eyesight, plus a telescope, and standing on the city wall, condescending, all the actions of the Tartars can be seen clearly, and seeing that the outside of the city is full of Tartars, dense, Zhang Feng's heart is excited.

"Commander-in-chief, it should be almost, we can strike first." Zong Dechao suggested next to him.

Zhang Feng nodded, Zhang Feng saw that after some busyness, the two artillery battalions of the Tartars seemed to be almost ready, and it was estimated that it would not be long before the artillery battalions of the Tartars would open artillery bombardment of the city.

Although the artillery of the Tartar is backward and all of them are old-fashioned cast artillery, in any case, since it is a cannon, it always has a certain lethality, and if you use flowering shells, the lethality will be even greater.

Zhang Feng didn't want the Tartars to take the lead in shelling the city, Zhang Feng didn't want his soldiers to be under the fire of the Tartars, and he didn't want casualties that shouldn't have occurred, so Zhang Feng was ready to take the lead.
