Chapter 157: Shelling

The first to speak was the cannon in the security army formation, as soon as the Houjin cavalry entered the firing range, the cannon of the security army artillery battalion fired, and the huge iron ball passed through the queue of the Houjin cavalry, knocking the Houjin soldiers who were rushing forward excitedly to the ground, and the strong war horse was hit and passed through.

The Houjin soldiers embodied superhuman will to fight, and were not moved by the bloody scenes around them at all, and still continued to move forward according to the original rhythm without the slightest hesitation.

After paying nearly 100 casualties, the Houjin army entered a new death zone, and the security army replaced the artillery with shotguns, and the cannonballs that rained down swept the Houjin army off their horses.

Jia La'e Zhen looked at the scene on the battlefield from behind, and the whole person was stupid, he had never seen such a dense artillery fire, and Houjin's cavalry had never been killed and wounded in such a large area. Frightened, he forgot to order the soldiers to withdraw from the battle, the non-stop footsteps of the war horse sent the Houjin soldiers who were still on the horses to a closer distance from the security army, and finally could counterattack, the Houjin soldiers took out their bows and arrows and prepared to throw them into the security army's formation, when they just straightened up, they first heard rows of gunfire, and then thousands of lead bullets poured down, blocking the momentum of the Houjin army's forward rush, and the power of two thousand muskets firing at the same time made the Houjin army like a wave meeting a reef, and the whole formation was shattered. The soldiers in the front row were knocked to the ground, and no one could take a step forward.

The gunfire continued to sound and the artillery did not stop, and after only a while, the charging Houjin army, except for more than 1,000 people who were left behind, turned and fled back to their own positions, and few others could still stand on the battlefield, and they also made efforts to turn around and flee, but they were still chased by bullets and fell to the ground covered in blood.

Jiala'e Zhen woke up from the shock and immediately made the most correct decision, letting all the Houjin soldiers follow him and run towards Naturalization City. This decision played a key role in saving lives and reducing casualties for Houjin. By the time the cavalry of the security forces began to pursue, the Houjin had already run far away, and their efforts to catch up only caught some wounded soldiers who had fallen behind.

Some of the people sent by the tribe that swore allegiance to the eldest princess watched the whole process of the battle with the eldest princess, and they were all stunned there, this is the end, the Houjin army only charged, and then turned around and ran, leaving more than a thousand casualties in front of the security army, and the Houjin was defeated. This is also too fast and too easy, the security army is hiding behind the car formation, and it is difficult to say whether there are casualties. When did the war become like this, and the army of the Ming Dynasty became so powerful.

At the same time, they are secretly glad that they have chosen to be loyal to Princess Celestia. These Ming troops are the team of future horses, and whoever goes against the eldest princess in the future will not have a good life.

The eldest princess Uliangha was also shocked by this scene, and the Houjin cavalry, who were chasing the Mongols all over the world, was so vulnerable. In the middle, Zhang Chu didn't even move a finger, and he didn't even give an order, more than a thousand Houjin cavalry was over, I heard how many Houjin people Zhang Chu had eliminated before, and I always felt that there was an exaggeration. What I saw with my own eyes today is such a scene. Is it a hero to be able to kill people so easily?

Jiala Ezhen fled back to the Naturalization City with the remnants of the soldiers, Leng Geli always paid attention to the situation of the soldiers and horses sent out in the Naturalization City, and received a report that the Houjin soldiers were defeated, and the details of the Tanma were not clear, he hurriedly led the troops to the outside of the city to respond, and after a while, the Houjin cavalry led by Jiala Ezhen fled back like a lost dog, fortunately, the security army did not chase after him. The defeated soldiers were welcomed into the city, the four gates of the naturalization city were closed, and the soldiers climbed to the head of the city to defend and were on high alert.

Ala's true was brought to the cold grid.

"Caught in an enemy ambush?"

"Nope."

"The enemy has brave cavalry?"

"We were defeated by the infantry."

The question and answer made Leng Geri even more confused. I had to calm down and let Jia La'e really explain the situation from the beginning.

Hearing that the firearms of the Ming army were so powerful, Leng Geli was also surprised, there were indeed many troops in the Ming army that used firearms, but I had never heard of any army that was so strong. Where did this force come from?

Before Leng Geli could think clearly, it was reported outside that the Ming army had come to the outside of the Naturalization City.

Leng Geli hurriedly climbed to the top of the city to watch, and saw that the Ming army had stopped not far from the south gate of the Naturalization City and began to camp. He didn't look in a hurry. There were more than 20,000 people, which was not enough to besiege the entire Naturalization City, and they only camped on the south side of the city, and there was no intention of besieging it. Does the Ming army really want to use such a small number of people to capture Guihua City?

Because the Houjin cavalry had just suffered a loss in the field battle, Leng Geli did not dare to send troops out of the city again, so he could only mobilize men and horses to strengthen the defense of the south gate city wall where the Ming army was stationed.

Zhang Chu led people to set up camp outside the south gate of Guihua City, did not rush to attack, and ordered people to hurry up to strengthen the camp, first to ensure that they would not be attacked by Houjin's soldiers and horses.

Early the next morning, the security forces set off in a formation and drove to the city of Guihua.

Knowing that the real attack had begun, Leng Gerry immediately ordered his soldiers to go up to the city wall to defend against the attack of the security forces.

The security army stood in front of the city wall for a long time in an offensive posture under the Naturalization City, and the Houjin army on the city waited for them to attack, but they just didn't move. The Houjin army was nervous for a long time but did not see any movement, and couldn't help but be angry, scolding at the city, and the security army did not respond but lined up there without saying a word, and after a long time, the Houjin army on the city thought that the security army was just bluffing and would not really attack the city, Zhang Chu ordered the security army to shout and rush to the city wall. Later, the Jin army cheered up and looked at the city, and the archers were ready, and when the security army entered the firing range, they used the rain of arrows to tell these fools who didn't even carry shields when attacking the city how to write dead words.

The security army saw that they rushed into a place a stone's throw away from the city wall, and suddenly retreated back like a receding tide.

As soon as the nerves of the Houjin army relaxed, the deafening sound of artillery sounded, and the artillery battalion of the security army built the artillery array not far from the city wall when everyone was under the city wall to see the scenery. The security forces retreated and exposed the artillery barracks, and this time they did not even test fire directly at the city wall with shotguns. The Houjin soldiers on the city wall were laughing at the incompetence of the security forces, and the cannonballs rained down on the city's heads.

Leng Geli was standing on top of the city tower and observing the attack of the security army, but the sudden shelling hit him very embarrassed, and the Wei Shi Company pulled him down from the city and hid in the hidden soldier cave under the city. Listening to the sound of artillery outside one after another, Leng Geri, who had been on the battlefield many times, also felt tremors in his heart.

After five rounds of shotgunning, they switched to solid shells and began to bombard the city walls, hoping that they would collapse the walls and then attack.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Leng Geri ordered the dead and wounded soldiers to be pulled down from the city, and placed there too much to affect morale, by the way, to count the number of dead and wounded.

Soon the statistics came out, and almost a thousand soldiers were killed and wounded in the shelling.

Leng Geli was very depressed in his heart, he completely fell for the plan of the general on the opposite side, the enemy only attacked from one city wall, lured him to transfer most of the soldiers over, densely arranged on the city wall, and then attacked with artillery shotguns, causing huge casualties. If you do this a few more times, Houjin will be defeated. Leng Geri immediately ordered most of the soldiers to hide under the city walls, leaving a few to observe, and then enter the city when the security forces attacked.

Outside, the sound of artillery was still ringing. Solid bullets flew the brick chips from the city wall. Several of the cannons fired particularly heavy shells, and if they hit the city wall, the city wall will be punched out of the crater, and there is a real possibility of collapse after a long time. It's just not known how many artillery pieces the enemy has and how long this gun will last. (To be continued.) )
