But to Wang Hongtu's surprise, it was the artillery bombardment of the city gates and city walls, not the troops of Lord Qincha, but a small army with a small number in the distance.

After being bombarded for a while, the defenders on the city wall seemed to have discovered the location of the two foreign cannons that bombarded them, and began to return fire with the earthen cannons on the city wall, but the range of the earthen cannons was too close to the position where the two foreign cannons were located.

After a short time, the artillery fire on the city wall was completely suppressed by the two foreign cannons, and little by little it was muted.

At this time, the city gate of Aksu City had been blown down, and the tower controlling the drawbridge had also been destroyed, Wang Hongtu thought that the minister would order his cavalry to charge at this time and rush straight into the city along the drawbridge, but the minister did not move at all, just held a brass monocular there, and watched silently.

The two cannons of the small army of the official army continued to bombard, and Wang Hongtu saw that the gunners were bare-chested, bareheaded, loading the shells with extremely skillful movements, and kept firing.

The rest of the small force, all infantry, stood in the long trenches that had been dug up, with rifles in their hands, and watched in the direction of the city gates, as if they had no intention of seizing them.

Among the infantrymen armed with foreign guns was a cart with two wheels, on which was mounted a long cylinder with a crank handle, like a small cannon, but this small cannon did not shoot, and there was no gunner or shell next to it, and it was operated by two well-dressed infantrymen beside them. Only one wooden box was placed.

Perhaps with a premonition, one of the infantrymen took a stubby cylinder from a wooden box and stuck it vertically into the long cylinder.

What kind of siege is this? Wang Hongtu secretly wondered.

At this moment, a group of cavalry in blue armor suddenly rushed out of the city gate.

Seeing that these cavalry were the same color as the two gatekeeper cavalry who beat him, Wang Hongtu couldn't help but feel resentful.

The cavalry of the green armor was very skillful, and when they rushed out of the city gate. They encountered the wagons abandoned by the caravan, but they were not greatly hindered, but leaped over and rushed straight to the position of the small army of officers and soldiers who were constantly firing artillery.

Their target was the two foreign cannons.

As if anticipating this from the rebel cavalry, the gunner's leader shouted loudly, and Wang Hongtu saw the gunner lower the cannon's originally high muzzle, and then reopened fire.

The two shells, one after the other, landed accurately among the charging cavalry and exploded. Several of the horses neighed and fell, and the horsemen fell as they fell.

Despite the shelling, the cavalry rushed forward like a whirlwind.

After two rounds of firing, the gunners, under the loud command of the gunners, lowered the muzzle height of the guns and continued firing.

One cannonball after another exploded in the midst of the charging cavalry, and several cavalrymen were overturned by the air wave generated by the explosion, and Wang Hongtu saw that one cannonball had just hit one of the cavalrymen. The cavalryman was immediately blown up with his men and horses, and several cavalrymen next to him should have been hit by shrapnel. Some people fell down screaming, others covered their faces and screamed and fell off their horses.

The rebel cavalry suffered heavy casualties under the constant bombardment of foreign artillery, but they still rushed forward without fear of death.

Even if Wang Hongtu did not understand military affairs, he could now see the rebels' intentions -- their aim was to seize the two cannons, and as long as the cannons were captured, the offensive of the official army would collapse.

The muzzle of the cannon was quickly reduced to a minimum. The first round of shells was still in the rebel cavalry array, but by the time the second round of shelling began, the rebel cavalry had already rushed over, and all the shells landed in the rear of the rebel cavalry array.

Probably knowing that there was no point in shooting at the cavalry again, the gunner leader gave up attacking the cavalry. The order was given to re-raise the muzzles of the guns and bombard the walls.

Seeing the rebel cavalry approaching, Wang Hongtu's heart rose to his throat, he thought that at this time, the minister would order his cavalry to assault, but to his surprise, the minister was still calm and calm, and did not give any combat orders.

As soon as the rebel cavalry approached, the officers and infantry lying in the trench opened fire.

Wang Hongtu saw a large amount of white smoke shooting out of the trench, accompanied by the piercing gunfire, and the rebel cavalry that had rushed to the front fell in an instant.

A bullet hit the head of the rebel cavalry commander, and Wang Hongtu clearly saw that half of the opponent's face was covered with blood, revealing Sensen's white bones, but he did not fall, but roared loudly in a language that Wang Hongtu did not understand.

The rebel cavalry continued to charge, and some of the cavalrymen put down their swords, picked up their horse pistols, and fired at the positions of the officers and soldiers while charging on their horses, and for a time the guns rang out.

The shooting of the officers and soldiers was dense and ferocious, and the rebel cavalry kept falling to the ground, although some of them were shooting back, but they were very messy and the accuracy was poor.

Suffering such a terrible blow, Wang Hongtu originally thought that the rebels would give up the attack and retreat, but what he didn't expect was that the follow-up rebel cavalry withstood the rain of bullets, stepped over the corpses of their comrades, and continued to rush towards the official position.

Wang Hongtu saw that the rebel cavalry was numerous, although there were many casualties, but they still rushed forward one after another, and the number of officers and soldiers was too small, and it was infantry, if the rebels really rushed into the position of the officers and troops, the destruction of this small army could be said to be certain.

Seeing that the minister was still indifferent and did not let his own men and horses move, Wang Hongtu couldn't help but despise him even more.

But at this moment, Wang Hongtu saw that the "small cannon" was firing.

The long cylinder suddenly spewed out dark red flames, followed by dense black smoke, and the follow-up rebel cavalry that rushed to the front was instantly swept away by the fire, and for a while people turned on their backs, and the screams came and went.

"It's ...... Divine machine cannon ......" the caravan leader said in a lost voice.

Wang Hongtu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words "magic machine cannon".

This is the first time he has seen this weapon today, and the name of this "magic cannon" is also the first time he has heard of it.

He was stunned. The shooters operating the "God Machine Cannon" had already finished firing one cartridge, and Wang Hongtu saw another shooter quickly take off the empty cartridge, take out another cartridge from the box and put it on.

At this interval of reloading, several rebel cavalrymen who had been wounded and did not fall from their horses rushed to the position of the officers, but before they could shoot or wave their knives, several officers and infantry straightened up. Raise your rifle and shoot calmly, knocking them all off their horses.

A surviving rebel cavalryman stood up with a howl, and was about to slash with a scimitar, when he was stabbed by an officer and soldier with a bayonet.

Wang Hongtu saw that this was the only rebel cavalry who had engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the official army, and the remaining rebel cavalry was completely isolated from the position by the rifle fire of the official army.

The loaded "magic cannon" opened fire again, sweeping towards the rebel cavalry that rushed forward again, and the rebel cavalry was swept down in pieces like a straw.

At this point in the battle, there is no suspense.

The rebel cavalry was never able to break into the impregnable defensive positions of the officers and soldiers, and their morale finally collapsed. The cavalry behind no longer charged, but beat their horses and ran in the other direction.

"My lord, are we ......" Seeing that the rebel cavalry did not return to the city, but fled to the distant wilderness, a man who looked like a commander stepped forward and cautiously asked the minister.

"The army is coming, these rebels, they can't escape." Rong Lu smiled slightly and put down the binoculars in his hand.

"Then do we want to attack the city?" The Commander asked, pointing to the city gate, which was gone.

"We're here to fight. I'm not here to grab credit. Rong Lu turned his head to look at him, and the commander immediately lowered his head in disdain.

"You saw that just now. If you were replaced, do you think we could win so easily? Rong Lu looked at the corpses of no less than 3,000 people lying on the ground in the distance, and said in a low voice, "We are from Xi'an, and everyone says that our Qin soldiers are weak, do you think we are weak or not?" ”

"That's what the adults say...... Alas! We...... You can't beat such a record! The Commander sighed. Honestly replied.

"So, study hard! That Lord Lin, there are a lot of things in his stomach! Learn your hands, it's all your own! ”

"Mark it and get it! Thank you for your advice! ”

Hearing the words of the minister of the Qin Mission, it can be said that he admired "Lord Lin", Wang Hongtu was stunned again.

This Lord Lin. Who could it be?

Just as he was thinking wildly, an earth-shattering loud noise came, and his legs went limp, and he almost sat on the ground.

Wang Hongtu followed the prestige and saw a huge black smoke ball rising in Aksu City.

"Liu Chaopei, what are you doing?" Rong Lu was obviously also taken aback, and hurriedly raised the telescope.

A flash of fire, the same loud noise, and another huge ball of smoke rose, although he had a certain amount of psychological preparation, Wang Hongtu still felt frightened.

He had never seen such a scene since he was a child.

Like him, the leader of the caravan was also pale, and when another explosion sounded and the smoke rose into the air, many people in the caravan couldn't help but scream.

"We won this battle, but I hope they don't destroy the city too much," Rong Lu put down the binoculars, sighed, and said to himself, "Don't blow up Dong Fuxiang's corpse, otherwise I won't be able to pay the difference......"
