The Houjin people set up an artillery position on the Golden Mountain outside the city of Lushun, and ten red-coated cannons kept bombarding the city of Lushun, and after several rounds of test firing, they concentrated their artillery fire on the city wall of Lushun. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Through continuous correction, the cannon of the Jin people hit more and more accurately, most of the cannonballs hit the city wall, not only the cannonballs splashed bricks and stones injured a lot of officials and soldiers and people defending the city, and the bricks and stones that fell down in pieces showed that the strength of the city wall could not resist the impact of the cannonballs, and the city wall had the possibility of collapsing after a long time.

Huang Long, who was guarding the city, hurriedly asked most of the soldiers and civilians in the city to take refuge, and asked the rest of the people to prepare earthen bags and wooden planks, and immediately go up to block the gap in the city wall.

With the beginning of the Houjin artillery bombardment, Huang Long's heart became more anxious, the Houjin people found the biggest weakness of Lushun City, once the city wall is lost, the city will definitely not be able to hold it.

Although there are also red-coated cannons at the head of Lushun City, due to the terrain, they cannot attack the top of the higher Golden Mountain. With the arrival of the Houjin Brigade, it is even more impossible to counterattack the Golden Mountain, and the fall of Lushun without reinforcements is only a matter of time. Messengers have been sent to help everywhere, and I hope that someone will bring troops to help them out of the best of the best.

Yue Tuo was still very patient, he didn't attack immediately, he was waiting for the Houjin people to destroy the city wall with cannons, and at the same time, he was also waiting for the completion of the siege equipment such as the ladder rush car he made.

The artillery of the Later Jin Dynasty bombarded for three days in a row, and the neat and beautiful city wall of Lushun had become dilapidated, and the city wall collapsed in several places.

Yue Tuo saw that the time was ripe, and after organizing the Jin people to line up outside the city, the tragic siege battle began.

Under Yue Tuo's order, 2,000 Houjin soldiers held shields and pushed shield carts to approach the city wall of Lushun.

The first to speak out was the red-coated cannon at the head of Lushun City, which was bombarded by the Houjin people with cannons on the Golden Mountain in the past few days, but there was no way to fight back, and from time to time they were ridiculed by soldiers who did not know the truth for being timid and did not dare to fight back. The gunners had long been filled with anger, and today Houjin's siege force finally came into range of their artillery, and the loaded cannon was ignited. The heavy cannonballs flew out of the muzzle of the cannon with a loud noise, and landed accurately in the queue of the Houjin people, piercing a bloody alley in the middle, and some of the cannonballs hit the shield cart, the scene was even more miserable, not only the shield cart was shattered, but the flying sawdust stabbed the surrounding soldiers to cry wolf.

Seeing that the team was a little shaken, the commander of the team hurriedly scolded loudly, which stabilized the team.

After a round of artillery from the Ming army, a tense reloading began, and the Houjin took advantage of this opportunity to speed up the advance.

After a while, the artillery of the Ming army fired a second round, and the results of this round were also very good, but the Houjin soldiers also adapted to the atmosphere of the battlefield and did not cause greater panic, and the Houjin people got closer and closer to the city wall.

The Ming gunners were scrambling to clean the chambers and load them with gunpowder and shotguns, and the enemy's proximity put them under tremendous pressure.

Soon the Houjin people walked into the range of bows and arrows, and the strong bows and muskets above the city head rang out together, and the Houjin people were not to be outdone and returned fire with the bows and arrows in their hands.

On the city wall, the Ming army and people were constantly shot by the arrows of the Houjin people and fell, but no one flinched.

Huang Long also always commanded the army at the head of the city, and did not leave a single step, his actions greatly boosted the morale of the Ming army, and the sharp arrows on the city head continued to kill and wound the Houjin people who attacked the city.

When the two sides were holding each other, the red-clothed cannon at the head of Arthur City fired the third round, and the artillery shotgun brought great disasters to the Houjin people who were climbing the city under the city. The Ming army at the head of the city thundered with joy, and the counterattack became more violent, and the Houjin people finally couldn't resist the fear of death and retreated from the city wall.

Yue Tuo was not very angry about the failure of the siege, and in his plan this attack was only a test, and a more violent attack was yet to come. So he ordered the artillery on the Golden Mountain to continue to bombard the city walls, and the rest of the soldiers retreated to repair and prepare to continue the siege tomorrow.

Seeing that the Jin people had retreated, the Ming army in Lushun City had no time to celebrate, so they hurriedly used this time to rescue the wounded and repair the damaged city walls. Everyone understands that everything today is only the beginning of a bitter battle.

Early the next morning, under the order of Yue Tuo, the attack of the Houjin people began again, and the soldiers and civilians in Lushun City gave a resolute counterattack to the attacking bandits, and repelled the attacks of the Houjin people again and again. This brutal offensive and defensive battle continued to devour the lives of people on both sides, and it would not stop until one side gave in.

The generals and soldiers on both sides of the offensive and defensive sides were not only comparing their courage on the battlefield, but also comparing their tenacity in battle. Yue Tuo sent troops this time to fight for the strategic place of Lushun, but also to avenge the attacked tribes, there are many Houjin tribes watching behind him, he has no way out, he not only ordered the Houjin soldiers to take turns to attack the city, but also forced the Han slaves captured in the surrounding area to join the attacking team, go to the city wall to dismantle the city bricks, and kill them on the spot if they don't go, only the slaves who dismantle the city bricks can exchange the city bricks for food. Under the threat of death and starvation, these slaves had to rush into the battlefield again and again, and within a few days, all the Han slaves died and died, and Yue Tuo still had no intention of stopping the attack.

The Akito in the castle showed a strong will, both to save his life and for the honor of the warriors. The notoriety of the Houjin massacre and the brutality of the Han people made the people in the city not want to become captives of the Houjin people, and did not want to die in humiliation or live a life worse than death.

Both sides gritted their teeth and insisted on seeing who would collapse first, but unfortunately the crisis appeared first from the side of the Ming army.

There were casualties on both sides in the attack and defense, and the number of casualties of the Houjin people was more than that of the Ming army, but due to the numerical disadvantage of the Ming army, there were fewer and fewer people who could go to the city to defend, and the Houjin offensive still showed no signs of stopping.

In the end, the sharp arrows used by the Ming army to counterattack were all shot, and the gunpowder of the cannons was also used up, so the soldiers and civilians could only demolish civilian houses and use bricks and tiles as defensive weapons, and the strength of the counterattack was greatly reduced.

Yue Tuo keenly discovered the fatigue of the Ming army, and organized the Jin people in time to carry out the final attack in a desperate manner.

The dilapidated city wall of Lushun finally could not provide protection for the Ming army, and a small group of Houjin people broke through the gap in the city wall and rushed into the city, and the defense of the Ming army was disrupted at once. The defense line was constantly breached, more and more Houjin people attacked the city, even so the Ming army did not give up resistance, Huanglong organized forces in every street, every house and Houjin to fight, and finally the Ming army was able to fight fewer and fewer people, even Huanglong's own soldiers around him were sacrificed, only the lone Huanglong struggled to kill a few approaching Houjin soldiers, watching the team approaching, shouting "capture Huanglong alive" Houjin people, Huanglong knew that the last moment had come, raised his sword and killed himself on the spot.

After hard resistance, the city of Arthur eventually fell. (To be continued.) )
