"Attack, it's time for this, it seems that this county commander is going to resist to the end!" Qin Qiong said coldly.

"Okay!" Zhang Hu smashed his fist into his palm excitedly and replied happily. Then he turned around and ran over to give orders.

The defenders on the city wall didn't pay much attention to the two hundred people approaching below. There are also more than 200 people at the north gate of them, plus the 300 young men who have just been summoned on standby below, adding up to more than 500 people, if you want to break their defense, you have to have more than double the number of troops, less than 1,000 people, it is really not enough.

Two hundred warriors marched to a distance of 100 meters from the city wall before they stopped. The garrison on the city wall is not an elite army, the team of two hundred people adds up to less than thirty bows and arrows, and even fewer others, and as for the muskets, there is not a single one. This is also the characteristic of this era, except for some musketeers in the capital, it is difficult to see muskets in other places, let alone hunting armies. All over the country, now Geng Jingzhong's army can find a large number of firearms, and the others are still cold weapons. In the history of the previous life, it was not until the middle of the Kangxi Dynasty that the Shenji Battalion of the Qing court was officially established, but it was still very unappreciated.

A qualified bow and arrow is very expensive, and ordinary people can't afford to play it at all, even if there are less than fifty in the county government treasury. You know, a bow and arrow is worth ten long knives and twenty spears, and. Bows and arrows also need to be replaced regularly. Especially here is the South. Maintenance is not easy, so it is good to have dozens of archers here.

It was at this 100-meter position, there were already a few soldiers on the city wall who couldn't control the first move, and a few feather arrows rushed to the queue, maybe because they were too nervous, or the quality of the bow and arrows was not up to standard, and the range was not enough, the feather arrows fell ten meters away in front of the battle. Never came closer.

"The first squad of explosives packs are ready, and the others are covering with fire! Raise your gun! ”

"Wow!" With a neat and orderly sound, the soldiers raised their loaded muskets almost simultaneously, while the ten soldiers of the first squad each carried an explosive bag on their backs and a small round shield in their hands, making a shock shape, ready to rush to the city gate and blow it up. If the city gates are blown open, then the defenders in the city will probably no longer have the courage to resist. This Dapu County is a small city, and it is a city built in this valley. There is no moat, so don't be sad that you won't be able to get directly under the gates.

"Shoot!"

This location. A hundred meters is completely within the effective range of the musket, and if the distance is too far, the bullets fired out are not guaranteed to run anywhere. At the same time as they shot to save him, the city wall also issued an order to release arrows, but the ordinary Nanmu bow in the hands of the defenders had not been used for a long time, and the strength of the bowstring was not enough, and the feather arrows did not fly far at all, and it was already good to shoot ten meters in front of the Mawei army.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

There were a few screams on the city wall, and more than a dozen defenders were hit and fell, and the worst one was directly hit in the eyeball, although it was not instantly shot in the head, but it also immediately convulsed twice and died. The gunfire continued to ring, and the first team took advantage of the opportunity to rush forward violently. It's only a distance of 100 meters, and it only takes about ten seconds to run under the city gate and enter the city gate hole. As long as you enter, then it means that the city gate is open!

As they approached, the defenders, not knowing what the ten men were doing to run to the front to die, ordered the archers to fire their arrows at the ten men. As they advanced, the ten warriors held their heads with small round shields and rushed forward regardless of it. As soon as the defenders released two arrows, they were hit by the horsetail army in the distance and couldn't lift their heads.

"Free fire, as long as you show your head, shoot immediately!" Zhang Hu was still shouting loudly.

And at this moment, at the entrance of the city, Dapu County made Qu Zhiliang depressed, he lived for nearly fifty years, and he really had never seen such a powerful firearm. Dapu garrison Zhai Dongyou also couldn't stop scolding his mother: "Damn, what kind of evil firearm is this, you can fight it so far." Tell the brethren to be careful not to be beaten. What about the ones who are at the front? Where did you go? ”

At this moment, the ten warriors had already rushed to the base of the city wall in a very short time. The defenders were already lacking in training, and the bows and arrows were useless for several years, so the accurate head really didn't dare to compliment, and the soldiers rushed against the small round shield for more than ten seconds, and the approaching archers shot out more than thirty arrows, but none of them hit the round shield, let alone shoot at the people. The defenders on the wall wanted to stone the ten rushing warriors, but because the time was too short, the warriors sprinted too fast, and when they reached the foot of the wall, they were too late to lift the stones.

Entering the city gate hole, the ten people quickly took off their backpacks, that is, explosive bags, and stacked them neatly together and piled them up on the edge of the city gate. Then drag the leads and put them together to ignite.

The sound of "Woo Ya" sounded, and the leading squad leader immediately ordered: "Mission completed, withdraw!" ”

The power of ten explosives to explode together is considerable, although so far, the scientific research base and the mine research institute have not developed thunder mercury, and every time it seems to be successful, it will always fall short. But in the case of simple gunpowder, when the quantity reaches a certain level, the power is definitely large enough.

"Boom!" With a bang, even the horsetail warriors who had rushed out of the city gate hole for more than 30 meters felt unstable under their feet, and immediately fell to the ground. The defenders on the city tower were even more unbearable, and the huge movement was like an eight-magnitude earthquake, almost overturning this low city gate building directly.

The exact power of the explosion was completely clear after the smoke cleared. At this moment, the city gate is still missing, and there is not a trace of zài. A large hole was blown open in the city gate, and in addition to the original location of the city gate, a large part of the surrounding walls were also blown down. Fortunately, the city tower of Dapu County is made of all stones, and some of them did not collapse after the explosion. Although the castle tower had no effect, the defenders above were miserable.

The explosion just now, they were just a few meters away from each other, not to mention anything else, even the explosion was unbearable, as the city tower shook, the soles of the feet were soft, and dozens of defenders collapsed on the city tower without any image.

As soon as the city gate was opened, the morale of the horsetail warriors was greatly increased again, and with the order of the commander, two hundred soldiers began to rush towards the city gate. The defenders in the city, it should be said that they were newly recruited to prepare to assist in defending the city, and as soon as the city gate was opened, they were already frightened by the power of explosives. One by one, they only hated their parents for missing two legs, and they couldn't wait to hide at home immediately.

As these hundreds of young people dispersed, the defenders whose morale was already strict and insufficient became even more unbearable, so what mood was there to stay on the city wall to defend the city, let alone gather at the gate of the city and start hand-to-hand combat with the Mawei army. Niu Xuwu, the garrison of Dapu County, shouted desperately, restrained his subordinates, and his 300 people blocked the city gate, preparing to repel the 200 enemy troops. The city gate is not a big place, and it is quite crowded for three hundred people to gather together, but there is no way, the city gate has been broken, and there is no point in staying on the city wall any longer, so it has to be blocked here, hoping to repel this wave of enemy troops, and then repair the city gate.

The speed of the horsetail warriors was not slow, and when the defenders on the opposite side basically descended the tower, the horsetail warriors also approached to a range of fifty meters. Needless to say, the horse-tailed warrior would not stupidly run to the front with a knife and fight the opponent hand-to-hand, raise the gun,

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

There was a burst of gunfire, dozens of bullets were fired, and the dozens of defenders in the first two rows were unlucky and immediately fell to the ground. The Mawei fighters have not had a combat mission for two or three years, and they have only been left with training all day, and although their marksmanship is not a hundred shots, it is not far from a range of 50 meters. The two rows of defenders in the front were about thirty or less than forty people, and after two rounds in a row, more than 100 bullets were fired, and there was no one who could stand. The worst thing is their garrison Niu Xuwu, because he is wearing an officer's uniform, where he is shouting with his hand, the target is so obvious, who does the horsetail army's bullets not hit him? At least ten of the bullets were directly aimed at him, and two of them luckily hit Niu Xuwu's head, and at such a close distance, the two bullets that almost hit each other lifted his scalp at once.

The defenders behind completely lost the courage to resist, the battle was not fought, and their morale was exhausted, but the Mawei army was like a rainbow. The Mawei army rushed into the city, Qin Qiong immediately sent people to the other city gates, took over and guarded the four gates, the defenders of the other three gates were much smaller than the defenders here, that is, there were nearly a hundred defenders at the east gate, and the other two gates combined were only more than a hundred. The hundred horsetail warriors who are divided are very light and can be taken from the inside.

The more than 200 defenders at the north gate had completely surrendered and were then confined to a large courtyard at the city gate. The gate was closed, and thirty warriors climbed up on the roofs around them, guarding them with guns. If anyone acts rashly, they are to be killed on the spot.

After all four gates were taken, the Mawei army divided dozens of people to capture the county government. This Dapu County, which had 500 garrisons and nearly 100 servants, fell into the hands of the Mawei Army, and the entire attack process took less than half an hour, to be exact, only two attacks, and the small city in front of it was taken.
