The autumn morning was breezy and the entire Haizhou Acropolis was shrouded in mist. The soldiers of the Jin Kingdom on duty on the city wall did not dare to be careless, and looked into the distance vigilantly.

Kudenba ate and lived in the watchtower on the city wall, and he was always a little uneasy, and he did not dare to go back to the official hall in the city to rest. At this moment, Kudenba stood at the window in front of the watchtower, looking into the distance shrouded in mist under the city walls. The tense nerves of these days made him even feel that in the vast white mist, a group of blue-faced and fanged monsters might be killed, crushing the city walls......

Kudenba shuddered, he hadn't felt it in years, and might call it "fear". Since the rise of the mountain army from Liaodong, Jinzhou, Fuzhou, and Gaizhou have all been vulnerable, and these are nothing, and in the battle near the Ming Guojing Division in the pass, the Tuanshan army has not been defeated.

The subordinates did not understand why Kudenba was so cautious, and the various reasons were only known to Kudenba himself.

The Shenyang side strictly blocked the news, and the battle between Shijingshan and Tongzhou was only known to the high-level, and Kudenba certainly belonged to the high-level who stayed behind.

The sun grew stronger, the mist slowly cleared, and at this moment, the sound of a horn was remembered in the distance!

"Enemy Attack ——!" The Jurchen soldiers at the lookout post shouted hoarsely, and there was a sudden burst of chickens and dogs jumping on the city wall.

Kudenba did not dare to slack off, and walked quickly from the watchtower to the corridor of the city wall, loudly reprimanding the Han army flag that was scurrying like a headless fly.

The Jurchens of the Yellow Banner were well-trained, and everyone was wound with bows and arrows, staring calmly at the open space below the city walls. And the Han army banner is under the rectification of generals at all levels. There are all in place and ready for battle.

There are a total of eight thousand pound Franc cannons on the wall of the Haizhou Acropolis. There are more than 100 300-pound Fulong machine guns, and all the gunners are Han. They are all very well trained.

The enemy was bombarded with artillery from a distance, and if the Jurchen archers were condescending after entering the range of the bow and arrows, they would definitely receive good results.

Kudenba's mood calmed down, such a combination of defense from near and far, the Tuanshan army will definitely suffer a big defeat-

Unfortunately, Zhang Li doesn't think so.

At this moment, the 300 shield carts of the Tuanshan Army and the 700 improvised shield carts covered more than 10,000 people slowly approaching the Haizhou city wall.

Zhang Li selected a small mound about two miles away from the Haizhou city wall as a command post. The artillery of the Tartars could not hit so far, the field of vision here was wide, and the tension was clear at a glance about the situation on the battlefield.

Looking at the shield carts slowly advancing, Zhang Li's mind even drifted a little far away - it seems that these shield carts are like tanks in later generations, they are sharp weapons for attacking cities.

The shield cars were not tanks after all, and soon they were within range of the guns of the Jin Kingdom. With the loud sound of all kinds of Fran machine guns at the head of the city, many shield cars were bombarded by solid projectiles, and the soldiers of the Tuanshan Army who pushed the shield cars behind also suffered considerable casualties.

But the shield car cluster didn't stop at all. Still marching unhurriedly towards the city walls. After another round of artillery fire, at least twenty or thirty improvised shield cars were reimbursed.

Standing next to Zhang Li were Gao Yuanliang and Lu Xiangsheng, all three of whom were closely watching the battle situation and did not speak—it seemed that these losses and casualties were there. has long been counted in general......

On the other side of the battlefield, Kudenba looked solemn, although the city's artillery rang out from time to time. And the shield carts of the regimental mountain army under the city were also blown up a lot......

Kudenbanai is a veteran who followed the old Khan king Nuer Hachi to fight the battle of Sarhu, and attacked Fushun, Shenyang, and Liaoyang. In the most tragic battle of Ningjin, he fought to the death as the armor of the Yellow Banner and did not retreat. He even received a personal commendation from Nuer Hachi.

However, Kudenba found a phenomenon that made him shudder - the siege troops of the Tuanshan Army, regardless of whether the side was blown up or not, only approached slowly. Even the speed of the shield cart has not increased or decreased in the slightest, as if they are all Shura demons from hell, and they don't eat other people's fireworks!

"How is that possible...... How can there be no trace of confusion? Kudenba muttered to himself, he could not believe that there was such an army, completely ignoring the casualties......

It was the infantry team led by Izawa who carried out the shield car, and now the standard equipment of the infantry team is a self-generated fire gun and a thunder in the palm, which can actually be called a musket team.

Not long ago, Master Zhang unified the musket team and the infantry team, and in the future, they will be collectively referred to as the infantry team, and there will be no longer a distinction. Master Zhang said that it would be impossible for the Tuanshan Army infantry to use broadswords and spears in the future......

And Master Zhang seems to have a killer weapon, the most elite veteran of the musket team in the past, now uses a kind of firearm that has been renamed "Mighty Firegun". Izawa had heard from Wood that the "mighty firebolt" had a very long range, and its head was higher than a bow and arrow.

The men with wooden belts were behind the strong shield carts, and the large numbers of infantry were behind the improvised shield carts. Ize knew very well that all the infantry had to do was attract fire, and the wooden part approached the walls.

"Boom-" A solid projectile pierced one of Izawa's shield carts to his left, and several soldiers behind the cart were smashed to their heads and bleeding from flying wood chips. Izawa only glanced at it hurriedly, then stopped looking, still urging the infantry to continue to approach the walls.

Dozens of field care teams were scattered among the attacking troops, and if any wounded soldiers were immediately carried back to the rear of the battle on stretchers.

The Fran cannon on the rampart had been fired three or four rounds, and the temperature had reached its limit, and the barrel needed half an hour to cool down before it could be refired. There was nothing unusual about this, Kudenba roughly counted it, and the number of Tuanshan army shield carts destroyed was about a hundred.

Kudenba bowed slightly, this is already a very good result, and then the intermittent period of artillery cooldown, let it be handed over to the Jurchen archers!

"Archer, prepare!" Kudenba shouted violently, and thousands of Jurchen archers stood in front of the battlements, bent their bows and arrows, and waited for the enemy to come into range.

The range of the fire gun is about seventy or eighty paces, and the range of the bow and arrow is about one hundred paces, and now the Jurchen archers shoot condescendingly, and the range can reach one hundred and twenty steps.

Just as Kudenba and everyone on the city wall were calculating the distance of the Tuanshan Army's approach step by step, suddenly, all the shield carts of the Tuanshan Army stopped—one hundred and sixty or seventy paces away. At this distance, the Jurchens were very puzzled, did the Tuanshan army want to reorganize its position and launch a desperate charge?

A large number of shield carts lined up, and countless soldiers of the regimental mountain army jumped out from behind the shield carts, each holding a firearm in his hand. These soldiers, without exception, coldly raised their guns and aimed at the Jurchen archers on the city wall! (To be continued.) )
