Watching the iron ball he shot fly out of the city wall, he didn't even touch the shadow of the tiger and leopard army.

However, the flowering shells fired by the Haw Par Army at the head of the city have already overturned several Franc machine guns, killing and wounding hundreds of defenders.

The officers and soldiers who were still full of confidence just now gradually began to get anxious.

At this moment, the adjutant general standing on the side opened his mouth and said, "General, the last general will build yì, and the red-clothed cannon of the artillery battalion will open fire immediately...... Only the red-coated artillery can destroy the ...... of the Haw Par Army artillery"

As soon as the words fell, Mr. Qian, who commanded all the red-clothed artillery, affirmed with a burning face: "General, the last general guarantees that at most five rounds of artillery fire, you can destroy the artillery arranged by the Tiger and Par Army outside the city......"

"Also, the last general observed that although the Haw Par Army exposed a lot of artillery this time...... However, the firing range was limited, and it was simply not enough to reach the red-coated artillery position of the last general. Therefore, in the process of firing, the artillery of the Haw Par Army can only be beaten passively...... And our red-coated cannon can definitely guarantee safety and will not be hit by flowering shells, please rest assured that the general ......"

One of the most important reasons why the official and army guards were reluctant to order the red-coated artillery to counterattack was that he didn't want to reveal all his hole cards so quickly......

The Haw Par Army besieging the city, although it is not clear about the strength and equipment of the Qingchuan defenders.

However, the new imperial army formed according to the Haw Par Army, every officer above the 1,000 general level clearly knew the establishment and equipment of the Haw Par Army.

Although he didn't know which army the Haw Par Army was attacking him, the defenders were sure that it was a regiment of the Haw Par Army that attacked him.

He remembers it well. Artillery equipment of a regiment of the Haw Par Army. There are more than 20 in total.

And now. The artillery pieces exposed by the Haw Par Army, plus the ones that had just been destroyed, were no more than twenty in the sky.

In other words, the Hawpanzer and Leopard Army, which attacked itself, also hid a lot of artillery, and it was a more powerful artillery.

In this case, if he exposes all his strength so quickly, and the artillery hidden by the Haw Par Army. What's the secret of what's there...... The eighteen red-coated cannons he only had, which were not very dangerous.

Therefore, after the defender used the red-coated cannon to repel the first attack of the Tiger and Par Army, he made a decision, and in the next battle, he would not lightly expose the killer weapon in his hand, that is, the eighteen red-coated cannons......

And just when the defender hesitated again, the two Haw Par muskets that launched a feint attack were fired in tandem.

Because the artillery set up at the head of the city by the officers and soldiers was all aimed at the artillery, and they fired solid iron ball shells.

Two companies of more than 300 musketeers, almost no price to pay. It is easy to rush to the position of 100 steps.

Subsequently, a platoon of musketeers. In a more dispersed formation, continue to advance towards the city walls.

The remaining 200 or so musketeers stopped out of the range of the muskets of the officers and soldiers, and waited quietly for the officers and soldiers at the head of the city to come forward and shoot them with muskets and suppress them......

Facing the more than thirty tiger and leopard troops outside the city that were getting closer and closer to the city wall, the defenders wanted to bring them closer and greeted them directly with grenades.

However, the completely scattered offensive formation of the more than 30 Haw Par troops directly told him that even if he had enough grenades, it would be impossible to deal a destructive blow to these 30 or so Haw Par troops in a short period of time......

When the time comes, once they storm the city gates, the city gates, and even the entire city walls, may be blown up by them......

So, thinking about it, the defender still ordered his musketeers to counterattack the tiger and leopard army outside the city with the flowering bullets that kept falling overhead.

Hundreds of musketeers, who had just emerged from the city, had not yet had time to shoot.

The more than 200 tiger and leopard musketeers who were already ready to attack a hundred paces away were like hungry wolves smelling blood, and they did not hesitate to pull the trigger......

Gunshots rang out like bursting beans, and more than twenty officers and musketeers, before they could understand what was going on, fell to the head of the city with faces full of unwillingness and despair......

Of course, dozens of casualties were nothing at all for hundreds of musketeers.

More than 20 officers and soldiers had just been shot and fell to the ground, and the sound of dense musket fire followed by the sound of the city.

There were a lot of lead bullets flying out of the city walls, but when they were scattered to the frontal battlefield of hundreds of paces, they were very sparse.

Coupled with more than 30 Haw Par Army musketeers, it was very messy and scattered on such a wide battlefield

There is no accurate lead bullet in the first place, and at this moment, there is no accuracy.

After a round of buckshot, only three musketeers fell on the attack.

As for the remaining musketeers, they bent their waists deeper and continued their advance in the direction of the city walls......

The only difference is that their offensive speed has slowed down a lot invisibly.

As you continue to attack, you cautiously watch the front ahead, ready to fall to the ground at any time and dodge the oncoming buckshot......

Soon, there was another scene on the battlefield when the Haw Par Army had just made a tentative attack.

Under the combined attack of the artillery and muskets of the Haw Par Army, the defenders of the city were killed in pieces.

The casualties of the Haw Par Army's attacking forces can be described in a handful of words......

When the Haw Par Army destroyed four or five hundred defenders of the city in a row at the cost of one musket platoon and two mortars. The guard's face, which was still calm and calm just now, has turned red from anger and grievance......

As a scream reached the guard's ears again, the red-faced guard's face finally couldn't help it.

After slamming his clenched fist on a city stomp, he decisively ordered: "Ben General can't manage so much, artillery battalion, open fire immediately...... Destroy the artillery positions of the Haw Par Army in the shortest possible time......"

The eighteen flowering shells accompanied by the screaming sound crossed the battlefield and easily destroyed the three light mortars of the Haw Par Army, and the gunners who had just operated the mortars and kept firing flowering shells at the head of the city immediately picked up the mortars and began to transfer.

When the second round of flowering shells fired by the redcoat cannon landed with a screech and exploded.

The artillery positions he had bombed had become empty.

At this moment, the mortars, which had been re-transferred to their new positions, roared again and fired flowering shells at the city.

At the same time, the gunners of the nine medium mortars were not idle, quickly adjusting their muzzles according to the position where the guns sounded in the city, and preparing for a counterattack......

"Open the artillery ......" Looking at the nine mortars in front of him, the commander of the artillery company ordered very decisively.

As the cannon sounded, the flowering shells flew out of the barrel with a screech...... The company commander, who was full of expectations, didn't care whether these flowering shells hit the target or not, and ordered after him......

"Three flowering shells per cannon, shoot immediately...... Quickly transfer and speed up the ......" (to be continued......)
