The violent explosion sounded with a violent wave of air erupted in all directions, and the shell exploded next to a tiger squat cannon, and the black gunpowder containing six catties and six taels suddenly exploded, and the violent energy wrapped in the broken iron pieces splashed around, and after more than a dozen gunners around were shot by shrapnel, blood spurted out of the leaky leather bag, and the gunners screamed and fell to the ground.

When the violent explosion accompanied by the white smoke unique to black gunpowder rose, the city wall was filled with a choking white mist, from a distance, the city wall of Nanchang City at this time was almost shrouded in white fog, if there was no explosion sound everywhere to destroy the scenery, maybe it would make uninformed people mistakenly think that it was a rare and charming scenery.

It's just that only the parties know how terrifying it is to be shrouded in a white fog, the flying shrapnel, the explosive air flow has caused a lot of damage to the soldiers on the city wall, if the solid bullet just now caused only a little damage to the city wall and the defenders, the damage caused by this explosive projectile is calculated in terms of face, the explosion not only caused significant damage to the soldiers, but also caused great damage to the artillery placed on the city wall, some tiger squat cannons were forced to be overturned by the explosion of the air wave, Some even the barrels were bent.

"All gun emplacements hurry up and correct the target."

"Target correction complete!"

"Put!"

"Boom Boom"

The gunners outside the city did not have time to pay attention to the feelings of the defenders on the city wall at this moment, they received the order to shoot the projectile behind them on the wall in front, and the observers were still attentively observing the landing point of their projectiles, and then told the aiming men behind to correct the target.

In this way, after the more than 120 artillery pieces of the artillery battalion fired a total of more than 1,000 and 600 flowering shells, they had to be suspended, because the muzzles of the artillery at this time had already been red.

When Tan Datong slowly opened his eyes and got up, he only felt that his ears were still buzzing, and there was a sore pain in his chest, rubbing his aching chest, and after spitting sour saliva, he carefully looked around, and found that the people around him were shocked by the air wave emitted by the explosion of Shicai's shell.

Tan Datong shook the few family members who were still lying on the ground to wake up, and said angrily: "Okay, get up for Lao Tzu, don't lie on the ground like a fucking girl, hurry up and take a look around, call everyone up, if Lao Tzu is right, they will attack"

"Yes, sir!"

The remaining members of the family struggled to get up, stumbled around, and began to call out to the soldiers to hurry up and prepare to defend themselves against the enemy.

"Hurry up, get up, don't fucking stand up, the Great Zhou army is about to attack the city, brothers, hurry up, grab your weapons, and go behind the battlements!"

A sentence of scolding and from time to time came to the sound of "popping" on the city wall, that is, the family members with leather whips to whip those who refused to get up of the village and the city guards, the appropriate artillery bombardment frightened the defenders, almost all of them have never experienced such a terrible shelling, this kind of bombardment is simply the sound of God when he is angry, many people are frightened by this violent explosion to lose their souls and do not know what to do.

Under the continuous kicking and beating of the family members and the scolding, the soldiers and villagers who were blown up and lost their souls gradually cheered up and came to the battlement, some of them picked up the bows and arrows that had just been lost on the ground, others gathered the stones and logs scattered on the side, and more picked up the spears and spears and other weapons scattered on the ground, preparing to resist the first round of attacks that were coming.

Tan Datong also came to the battlement, staring at the neatly arranged formation in front of him, after the cannon stopped, the heaven and the earth seemed to be silent again, and the whole heaven and earth seemed to be only the sound of his own heavy breathing.

Suddenly, the formation in front of them moved, and with the sound of passionate drums, the sergeants in black helmets and black armor, who had been standing behind the artillery, moved, and to the accompaniment of the drums, they let out a loud shout in unison.

"Protection!"

Cheng Kai, who had long been standing in front of the team, held an iron horn in his hand and shouted loudly with all his strength: "The Third Legion is advancing!" ”

After hearing Cheng Kai's order, the sergeant shouted again: "Protect and drink!" ”

"Whoa, whoa!"

Tens of thousands of sergeants stepped out in unison and stomped on the ground hard, and the hard kick couldn't help but tremble even on the solid earth.

Slowly, tens of thousands of soldiers slowly approached the city wall with solid steps, although it was daylight, but the defenders on the city wall looked at a sergeant in front of them with a black armor and black armor like a demon pouring out of hell slowly approaching, and their hearts couldn't help but tremble.

The situation of the defenders is in Tan Datong's eyes, "No, if you go on like this, the soldiers will collapse!" ”

Although Tan Datong is just a big boss, since he has been in the army for more than 20 years, he still knows this thing, and he knows that he has to do something now.

He summoned a family member and ordered in a low voice: "You hurry over and order those tiger squat cannons to fire immediately, if you dare not hit them, you must open fire immediately, and immediately knock down the morale of the enemy army, otherwise we will be in danger." ”

After hearing this, the family looked around in embarrassment and said in a low voice: "My lord, our artillery has been blown up." ”

"What? Our artillery is gone? ”

This news was like a thunderbolt from the blue, and Tan Datong was dizzy.

"Yes, the artillery of the Great Zhou Army of Shicai fired specifically at our tiger squat artillery, and our artillery was all damaged!"

"Bastard!" Tan Datong's anger finally broke out, he grabbed the collar of the family and shouted vigorously: "This Lao Tzu doesn't care, you go over and tell the person surnamed Wei, Lao Tzu doesn't care what his artillery is, he just pulls it from other city walls immediately, in short, Lao Tzu must hear the sound of artillery within two teas, otherwise Lao Tzu will cut off his head." ”

"Yes!"

The family didn't dare to drink Tan Datong, who was angry, and ran away quickly after answering in a low voice.

Just when Tan Datong was in a hurry to mobilize artillery to come over, the sergeants of the Dida Zhou Army, who had crossed his own artillery position, had already come to a place three hundred steps away from the city, and under the orders of the officers, they stopped.

At this time, a command came from the military formation: "Everyone, start loading." ”

The sound of "bang, bang, bang" sounded, and the sergeants immediately began to skillfully load their guns with ammunition.

"Raise your gun!"

"Whoa!"

"Aim!"

"Put!"

"Bumper Bumper Bumper"

There was a muffled sound of gunfire peculiar to the Minnie rifle, and at the same time, accompanied by the terrible screams on the city wall, many of the unprepared city guards and villagers fell to the ground screaming, and some people were simply blown out of the head, and their heavy bodies fell like broken sacks, and snow-white brains mixed with bright red blood slowly flowed on the ground.

"What the hell is going on here? How did their firearms go so far! ”

Tan Datong, who escaped by luck because he was hiding behind the battlements, looked at the Great Zhou troops under the city wall in the distance with shock and anger, and he felt a burst of anger in his heart, and his heart seemed to mention that the volley of guns just now caught the defenders on the city wall off guard, and many of the defenders who survived the shelling ushered in a dense rain of bullets, and the power of this group of bullets was far inferior to the flowering bullets that exploded on the city wall just now, but the accuracy far exceeded them, This also caused many soldiers who were watching to be shot.

"Good!"

Seeing that the defenders on the city wall were shot one after another under the rain of bullets, even the defenders who escaped the first round of blows hid behind the battlements and did not dare to show their heads, sensing that the time was ripe, Cheng Kai, who was commanding in the back, turned around and ordered: "Order the third battalion to start building a ladder to attack the city, and the rest of the troops take turns to cover!" ”

With the sound of Cheng Kai's order, the drums that had been stopped sounded again, and the large array in the middle separated, and more than 5,000 soldiers rushed towards the city wall carrying hundreds of ladders.

"Quick, the enemy is attacking the city, come on, release arrows, release arrows!"

On the wall of the north gate, there are Ming army officers everywhere shouting at the soldiers and villagers to defend the city.

"You bastards, you eat Lao Tzu and drink Lao Tzu, now it's time for you to repay Lao Tzu, hurry up and release the arrows, release the arrows!"

In this way, under the shouting of the officers, a sparse rain of arrows was shot from the city wall, and many soldiers hid behind the battlements, not even daring to raise their heads, so they shot the arrows out.

"Riflemen, increase your firepower and suppress the enemy forces!"

Under the dense rain of bullets, the defenders on the city wall who dared to stick their bodies out of the city wall and shoot arrows fell down like dumplings, so that the defenders did not dare to pop their heads out, no matter how the officers and their families beat them, they just hid tightly behind the thick city wall, and would rather be whipped to death than show their heads.

And the officers and family members didn't dare to really provoke them, otherwise at this moment, if the enemy really provoked those soldiers, if they collectively mutined Nanchang City, it would be over.

"Bang Bang Bang"

Just when the officers on the city wall were at a loss, the Great Zhou army below had already erected the ladder to the city wall, and soldiers climbed up to the city wall one after another
