The castle stood majestically under the sunset, and although it had been bombarded for ten days, the walls were still strong. Some parts were struck by the shells, but like the tiny scars on a giant's body, this level of damage would not pose any threat to the castle.

The city wall has just been replaced, and this is almost the last shift of the day, and when the weather falls into the night, the officers and soldiers will even stop the shelling, and the task of the city defenders is only basic vigilance. In fact, by the time of this class, the soldiers were already relatively lax, and although the accuracy of the Ming army's artillery fire was getting better and better, it did not have much lethal effect on the soldiers hiding behind the city wall. Only a few unlucky people who get home will be injured by the flying stones.

After the changing of the guard, they hid under the battlements, sipping wine or discussing the future of the castle. Some of them had served in the Portuguese army, and some were just recruited sailors. Some of the soldiers who came from the barracks had experienced the siege and defense of the fortress that lasted for several months, and they were accustomed to this kind of siege. Showing off his past experience, while revealing his disdain for Perez.

The frequency of the shelling was no different from that of the previous days, and the Portuguese soldiers, who had become accustomed to this kind of artillery fire, were no longer as concentrated on guarding against the Ming attack as they had at the beginning, but were more worried about their fate. Unlike the Portuguese, the pirates had far less food in the castle than the Portuguese soldiers, and the previous rectification, which killed dozens of people for no reason, also made them even more desperate for Portugal.

The original structure of these pirates has been disrupted, but some of the originally famous pirate leaders still have a strong appeal. Some minions approached the thieves, looked at the Portuguese vigilantly, and whispered what to do next.

Everyone was concerned about their own affairs, and no one noticed that the Ming army under the city today had changed from a few days ago. The number of soldiers behind the artillery corps has increased compared to the previous days, and the number of flying ladders has also increased. Some of the soldiers wore loops of rope around their shoulders and changed into light clothing, which was significantly easier for climbing.

Shen Xiyi stood in front of the team, carrying a flying ladder on her shoulder, her eyes had locked on the castle in front of her, her breathing was steady and long, and she was breathing to make her body reach an optimal state. Wang Hong hesitated a little: "It's getting late, and the battle is going to be fought at this time, and if you don't do it, you will have to fight until night, so I think it's better to wait until tomorrow morning and then march into the army." ”

Yang Chengzu smiled, "Lao Zhentai, tonight I invite you to sit in the city and see the scenery in the city." It's not interesting for us to simply imitate the razed weapons, and in the future, even the Yicheng will learn together, although the people in this city are uncomfortable, but the garrison is a good place. I haven't blown up a few pieces of skin for ten days with artillery, and if it is used to stop the enemy, it will be even better. Look, we are going to break the enemy today. ”

As he spoke, he copied a drumstick and struck it vigorously, and in the sound of a shocking drum, the officers and soldiers raised the ladder and rushed towards the city with a shout. The defenders at the head of the city did not think that the Ming army was really going to attack the city at first, and thought that it was the same as the previous times, making a show, and withdrawing if it was not within the range of firearms.

Some people lazily raised their arquebuses in their hands, just waiting for them to retreat by themselves, while others simply didn't bother to raise their guns. It's closer...... Closer, already close to arquebus range. It was only then that some soldiers realized that today's Ming army seemed to be different from the past and had no intention of retreating.

"Shoot! I order, shoot! "One of the commanders shouted the order, raised his whip, drew it at the guards on the city walls, and shoved the whistle into his mouth, ready to issue the alarm.

A dull gunshot rang out, firing the first shot in the defensive battle, and the blow was rewarding. However, it was not the officers and soldiers who were flying from the city to the city that were the first to drink, but the officer who was about to blow the alarm, and before he could understand what was happening, he was shot by the soldiers behind him, and his body fell down the battlement to the city.

The white blades flickered, the blood rained down, and the robes that were still drinking and chatting together just now faced each other with swords in the blink of an eye. The attacked side was unprepared and was badly wounded. They roared and retreated, shouting "Rebellion, rebellion!" He drew his sword and parried, and the attacker shouted, "On the Count's orders!" Then the results of the battle were expanded, and the city fell into a melee.

In this brief confusion and conflict, the officers and soldiers had already rushed into the range of firearms, and quickly passed through this range and came directly to the city. The ladder was thrown out, and the hook of the head of the ladder locked tightly against the wall. The rope claws fell on the city, grabbing into the cracks in the walls, and the people followed the ropes and scurried upward.

In just a few dozen breaths, the soldiers have climbed more than half of it, and the fortress that was once impregnable has become crumbling. A chaotic sound of footsteps sounded, and a group of Ming Dynasty soldiers suddenly rushed along the horse road, rushed straight to the city, and began to slash at one of them, the balance on the battlefield tilted, and the defenders were under the attack, and it was difficult to maintain the line.

The bell rang one after another, and the bell-ringer rang desperately and violently, and the bell came to an abrupt halt after six or seven rings. The bell-ringer's body lay weakly on the bell, and a sharp arrow was inserted in his back.

The secret door, which was originally convenient for attacking, and the gate of the castle, were all opened at this time, and the once iron and bronze walls were just a small obstacle in front of the officials and soldiers at this time. Along the walls and gates, soldiers poured in like a flood and swept into every corner of the castle.

Cen Lian and her subordinates were lying in the camp tent bored and gossiping, two days ago, the officers and soldiers had just sent supplies, and these people were passing the time as if they were on vacation, hunting and killing people out of the city.

The musket has become more and more proficient, and there are many wolf soldiers, who have become excellent musket shooters. Even a girl like Cen Lian knows what this kind of exercise means to Guishun Prefecture, her dowry includes five hundred arquebuses, plus these shooters, the situation in Guishun is about to change greatly.

Whether this change is good or bad, she actually can't say, but she always feels unsteady, and the originally carefree girl is now holding her cheeks with her hands, looking at the sun that is about to set, sullen. Several female soldiers quipped, "Miss Lian, are you thinking about your brother?" I haven't seen each other for a few days, and I can't stay up? Houmen is as deep as the sea, there are so many women in his family, when you get there, maybe it may not be the last time in half a month, but how can you stand it? ”

Cen Lian was ashamed to hit someone, but suddenly there were a few explosions in the sky, and columns of smoke went straight into the sky, she no longer paid attention to those female soldiers, and the expression on her face became serious. Standing up, he commanded the people around him, "Pass my order, everyone go into the forest, spread their nets, and hunt." ”

Soon, the Portuguese flag at the head of the city was cut down, and a Ming flag was slowly raised, according to the experience of Europe, it was considered indestructible, and it could hold on to the fortress for at least half a year.
