Hu Kuan, who was already waiting for him, and the three regiment commanders under his command were also very touched when they heard it. The teacher of benevolence and righteousness will be difficult in the early stages. But once you stick to it, it will inevitably form a virtuous circle and gain unexpected support.

However, for Hu Guang, he doesn't want to use the current support. At present, there are too many thieves in Yulin City, although they have all kinds of preventive measures, as well as psychological comfort, etc., but if there are more people with bad intentions and make trouble, the heavenly army will definitely not be able to suppress it.

It's not that the combat power is insufficient, but that the manpower is too small. Therefore, the most important thing in Yulin City is stability, even if those thieves who are seeking war really want to help, but just in case, it is better to let them wait quietly. As for the enemy outside the city, there have been countermeasures for a long time.

Based on this, Hu Guangchuan ordered to go down and let the soldiers of the revolutionary party who could speak well under him go to comfort them and let them calm down for a while. Tell them that although there are many officers and soldiers outside the city, they are paper tigers and are vulnerable, so that they can rest assured.

After arranging this matter, Hu Guang observed the city and estimated that it was almost the upper limit of the estimated number of people, so he instructed the eldest brother: "Cut off the city gate!" ”

Hu Kuan nodded, with a serious face, turned around and waved his hand. Suddenly, a flag bearer began to signal.

At this time, at the four city gates, there was still a steady stream of thieves and some ordinary Ming troops rushing into the city. He told the soldiers of the Heavenly Army to hide in the battlements above the city gate, and shouted loudly: "Brothers outside the city, if you don't want to die, spread out to the walls on both sides, and don't enter the city again." Brothers outside the city......"

After shouting four or five times, they continued to shout: "After dozens of sounds, there will be an explosion at the city gate, and the non-flesh and blood can stop it, and they want to live and disperse......"

There are open gates to enter, and no officers and soldiers will set up ladders to attack the city. However, when approaching the city gate, the Ming archers and firecrackers who were mixed with the thieves had some arrows and guns.

It doesn't matter who it is. When they heard the shouting from the top of the city, many people heard it. Some people ignored it and continued to rush into the city gate; Some people hesitated, thinking about whether to listen or not, but the team behind them continued to hug and squeeze these people to continue to move forward; A small number of people heeded the advice of the Heavenly Army and diverted the walls on both sides of the gate. However, there are very few of them.

The voices of the city were counted to ten. In the eyes of the attackers, packets of explosives with fuses burning were thrown from above the city gates. At this time, the crowd of people who had entered the city gate scattered in all directions.

Or it was the reason why the heavenly army was merciful and didn't want to kill and injure more people, at first the fuse of two or three explosive packs was relatively long, giving the people at the city gate more time to escape from the city gate.

No one dared to pick up the explosives packets, because no one knew which ones would blow up when, and whether the city would throw them over.

As a result, a large area was suddenly vacated at the city gate. The thieves and the Ming soldiers either hid on either side. Or just stop.

It was too late, and after these people outside the city had just made some reactions, the earth-shattering sound of "boom, boom" sounded along with mushroom-like gunsmoke.

There were also explosive bags thrown at the top of the city, but this time not at the city gate, but farther away. It was as if they were going to use explosives packs to drive away the Ming troops outside the city and keep them far away from the city gates.

Truth be told, since the invention of the explosives package. In particular, the defense of the city has undergone earth-shaking changes. It's no longer possible to rely on the number of people to pile up. It's time to pile up the city, especially if the besieging side doesn't have explosives packs yet.

Chen Qiyu, the governor of the three sides in the distance, saw this situation and knew in his heart that the moths in the city were estimated to be unable to hold on, and if he sent troops to the city again, he would definitely be able to capture Yulin City. Therefore, he immediately ordered the Judge Advocate Corps to force forward. Continue to drive the attacking forces into the city.

However, immediately after the explosives package at the head of the city was cleared, soldiers pushed the wall on the edge of the city gate at the city gate, slowly blocking the passage leading to the school field in the city.

It turned out that the wall was movable. It's like two doors that close the passage. In the process of pushing the wall, other soldiers of the Heavenly Army rushed over and closed the gate again.

In the process, the soldiers of the Heavenly Army, who exposed the walls and armed with long-range weapons, stood by and stared at the thieves and some ordinary Ming soldiers walking at the end of the passage with wide eyes. As long as anyone dared to attack, their arrows and firearms were immediately pointed at them.

Half an hour later, Yulin City seemed to have never opened the city gate. The Ming army and the thief army outside the city reluctantly tried to attack the city with siege equipment, but they couldn't get close to the city wall at all.

This situation made Chen Qiyu look a little angry, and there were only about 30,000 rogue troops and 10,000 official troops outside the city at the moment. Although there are still far more Heavenly Troops in the city, I don't know what to do with those thieves who are eaten by Yulin City? If you help the Heavenly Army in turn, although you are not afraid of the old, weak, sick and disabled, there are always some middle-aged men who can help the Heavenly Army, and it is not a problem to defend the city wall.

No, we must take Yulin City down before the Heavenly Army can deal with the thieves who have swallowed it. Chen Qiyu thought so, so he ordered the general artillery to push the front to attack the city.

Now that he has given up the idea of using cannon fodder and rogue elites to consume the strength of the Heavenly Army first. According to the regular siege warfare of the Ming army, first blast open a gap.

At this time, the general cannons, which can be used to attack the city, are at least the largest, with a large artillery weighing more than 500 catties, and there are special vehicles to carry them.

The front of the vehicle is high and the rear is low, and the rear end can be fixed with a large iron nail, which can be launched directly from the car. When a row of ten artillery carts slowly pushed out from the main camp of the Ming army, the morale of the Ming soldiers and soldiers they saw was greatly boosted.

Although the kind of artillery called the Heavenly Army at the head of the city is very powerful, it seems that it cannot be far away. And a general like his own, with a range of more than a mile, has always been a big killer weapon for the Ming army to attack the city.

Chen Qiyu watched this scene behind the battle, and said secretly in his heart: Let you close the city gate, wait for the official to open the city gate, smash the city gate, and see how you close the gate!

To the sound of war drums, the artillery of the Ming army pushed the artillery cart to choose a position and began to nervously fiddle with the general's cannon.

There were generals on the side urging from time to time, because he knew that the governor didn't want to give the heavenly army in the city a chance to rest, and didn't let them free up manpower to deal with those tens of thousands of thieves.

He was right, Chen Qiyu was staring at him at this time, staring at this artillery position, and he wished that he could fire the cannon immediately, so that the iron egg would smash on the head of the city and on the city gate.

Just thinking like this, he suddenly remembered something, and his face immediately changed.
