Chapter 624: The Great Reversal

More than a hundred paces away from the city wall, the Japanese artillery position, a hundred bronze cannons, as if they had been negotiated, roared at the same time.

A hundred whizzing solid cannonballs, though most of them either landed outside the city or fell inside the city over the city.

However, there were still a dozen of them smashed on the city.

The solid iron balls that kept bouncing off the ground often stopped because they ran out of energy after the battlefield pierced the bodies of several Haw Par Army soldiers.

As for the iron ball smashed on the city stomping, it directly smashed the city stomp to pieces.

The brick and stone fragments that quickly scattered around were like flying fragments of flowering bullets, directly causing a bloody storm around them.

As far as the eye can see, in the blink of an eye, these more than ten iron balls have caused at least fifty casualties to the tiger and leopard army at the head of the city.

For Zhao Yun, who has more than 10,000 soldiers, these losses are nothing at all.

However, after being baptized by more than a dozen iron balls, stumps and broken arms, internal organs, and even corpses that were directly broken by the waist can be seen everywhere...... It can deal a very big blow to the morale of the soldiers defending the city.

Through the telescope, Zhao Yun could clearly see that some of the tiger and leopard soldiers who were next to the dead soldiers had turned pale unconsciously. If such a blow comes a few more times, these people are likely to collapse directly on the battlefield.

Faced with this situation, Zhao Yun's face instantly became gloomy.

The whole person was like an angry lion, roaring at the master next to him: "What about the heavy artillery, why don't the heavy artillery fire yet...... If I see the Japanese artillery unscrupulously plundering the city's soldiers, I will directly remove him from the post of commander of the heavy artillery regiment......"

Maybe it was Zhao Yun's roar that played a role......

The order has just been given. The Japanese artillery positions within Zhao Yun's field of vision were baptized by dozens of flowering shells.

The flowering shell exploded. Zhao Yun saw it clearly. Two pieces of artillery weighing hundreds of pounds, in front of heavy artillery shells, were thrown directly into the sky like toys.

As for the bronze cannons that were not thrown high, as long as there were flowering shells exploding next to them, without exception, all of them were blown up, and there were many bronze cannon barrels. Twisted into a twist in the sound of an explosion.

Of course, the biggest lethality of these flowering shells here is not the bronze cannons, but the Japanese gunners who have little cover......

Looking at the past, Zhao Yun was sure that at least hundreds of gunners had fallen in the Japanese artillery position.

This is absolutely very fatal for the Japanese who have only a few hundred gunners.

Because, this directly means that the Haw Par Army only needs to fire less than five flowering shells to eliminate the Japanese gunners on the position.

Without the gunner, the Japanese have more bronze cannons. It's also a pile of scrap copper......

Seeing this, Zhao Yun's gloomy face. There are finally signs of dissipation.

However, Zhao Yun dissipated and underestimated the spirit of the katana that was not afraid of death.

In the face of the Grim Reaper that may befall him at any time, other Japanese artillery can be directly described as fearless.

It's as if the flowering shell didn't explode around them, those who should have cleared the bronze cannon continued to be reloaded, and those who should have been reloaded continued to reload.

Before the Haw Par Army could fire the second round of flowering shells, the roar of the second round of bronze cannon fire had already sounded from the Japanese position.

Of the iron balls that came from this round of roaring, there were still about ten of them smashed on the city wall, causing at least fifty people to die directly on the battlefield for the defenders at the head of the city.

Faced with this situation, Zhao Yun's heart was full of shock...... However, there is nothing that can be done.

After all, he only has so many artillery pieces in his hands, and the rate of fire of the artillery is only so fast. Even if you go to the artillery position yourself, it will not have any effect.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Yun could only hope that the next round of artillery bombardment of the heavy artillery regiment would kill more Japanese pirates.

After retracting his gaze from the Japanese artillery position, the battlefield of engagement, which was almost completely covered in white smoke, appeared directly in front of him.

Although half of the artillery was divided, the light and medium mortars left on the battlefield did not disappoint.

In just a short period of time, there were less than fifty shield carts that the pirate musketeers could use to hide.

Even the remaining less than fifty shield wagons are rapidly decreasing at a rate of at least five per round of shelling.

As a result, there are more and more Japanese musketeers on the battlefield, exposed to the Haw Par musketeers.

As a battle-hardened veteran, Zhao Yun did not let go of this fighter.

After glancing at the city wall where the gunfire was incessant, he decisively ordered: "Immediately send a musket battalion to join the defense of the city, and shoot the musketeers exposed by the Japanese invaders." The other Musketeer missions remain unchanged...... Bombardier, jump into the fray right now. This time we brought enough grenades, and I will add as many as they throw out......"

One might ask why Zhao Yun didn't send more musketeers into the battle since he had enough troops in his hands.

Actually, it's not that Zhao Yun doesn't want to, but there is no way......

The walls were so wide and so crowded that the musketeers simply did not have a way to fight.

The reason why a musket battalion will be replenished at this time is because of the continuous fighting, and the defenders of the city have lost most of the musket battalion. These musketeers joined the battle, just in time to replenish the losses of the defenders of the city......

The appearance of grenades was absolutely fatal for the Tartars, lined up in a dense siege formation.

The grenades emitting white smoke, as if they didn't want money, were constantly thrown out of the city by bombardiers.

At the foot of the city wall, which was already crowded with thousands of pirates, the explosion of every grenade could take the life of at least one pirate.

In the blink of an eye, a grenade blasted out of a no-man's land at the foot of the city wall.

If it were the North Korean army that launched the attack, it would have been afraid to move forward in the face of the terrifying power of the grenade.

However, it is the Japanese who are attacking now, and even if they know that they are dying to advance, they will not hesitate to attack forward.

After countless pirates were blown to the ground by grenades, there was still a steady stream of pirates who continued to pounce on the area, waiting for death to come to them.

At this time, the 2,000 musketeers who fought in companies at the head of the city were finally able to concentrate all their firepower and shoot the Japanese archers and musketeers.

In particular, the addition of a musket battalion to the battlefield directly made the lead bullets fired from the city more dense.

On the battlefield outside the city, the first to suffer doom were the unprotected Japanese musketeers.

The shield cart standing in front of them had just been destroyed, and before they could react, they were covered with lead bullets.

In this case, the destruction of not a single shield cart meant that at least thirty pirate musketeers were shot.

As the battle continued, the situation on the battlefield finally began to develop step by step in a direction favorable to the Haw Par Army. (To be continued......)
