As soon as the drums of Ma Shilong's Chinese army sounded, the artillery position suddenly erupted into a deafening sound of artillery, in the midst of lightning and thunder, thick white smoke covered the long front, the artillery mounts retreated, dozens of iron bullets of two catties to more than ten catties rushed out of the muzzle and smashed into the city wall, the urn city was dusty, countless gravel rose into the air and fell like raindrops, splashing dense white water in the moat.

The horses of the surrounding cavalry neighed, and the sight in front of them frightened them, and even the Wenden battalion soldiers, who had been using firearms for a long time, also fluctuated slightly.

Liu Min's heart was beating wildly, and he could feel the ground shaking on the other side of the city wall a mile away. The power of the god of war can only be experienced by experiencing it firsthand.

The gunners of each gun began to brush their chambers with wet wool sticks, and the sound of water vapor evaporating came from the chambers, and then the loader filled a new packet of propellant, and another artilleryman covered the fire door with a damp cloth to prevent air from entering and igniting the remaining sparks.

After the iron bullet was loaded, the rifled gunner compacted the iron bullet with the stick wrapped in wool, the artillery adjusted its position again, and the second round of firing came again, and the smoke that filled the position quickly blurred Liu Minyou's vision, and his nose was filled with a heavy smell of gunsmoke, and during the third round of shooting, he could only see the orange-red cannon flame.

The sound of bricks and stones collapsing constantly came from the side of the Luanzhou city wall, mixed with many screams and panicked shouts, in front of the Hongyi cannon, Jiannu's personal bravery was no longer worth mentioning.

After three rounds, the artillery position quieted down, the iron cannon was already hot, and it was necessary to wait for them to cool down naturally, the Hongyi iron cannon of this era could only fire about ten times an hour, and after three consecutive shots, it was necessary to wait for cooling, generally no more than 100 times a day, and the total life of the body tube was about 600 rounds.

When waiting for the cooling, the smoke slowly cleared, and Franco picked up the telescope and began to observe the effect, Liu Min could see with the naked eye that the masonry in many places in the urn city was broken, revealing the soil embryo inside.

Chen Xin said with a smile: "Demolition weapon." ”

Liu Min had dry hair in his mouth, took out his coconut scoop, took a sip into his mouth, moistened his throat, and asked Chen Xin, "When are we going to go?" ”

"Don't go up, just take a look at the artillery here, and when they finish fighting, you go and take a closer look at the gun carriage, learn and study, we will have to build cannons sooner or later in the future, and other tools and medicine kits can also be seen."

Chen Xin turned his head to the stupid monk and said, "Silly monk, protect Mr. Liu." ”

The stupid monk in silver iron armor responded, the Wendeng battalion has been rushing to make iron armor, and it was not customized for a giant beast like him, after capturing the Bayala iron armor this time, the blacksmith who accompanied the army transformed one for him, Chen Xin looked at him and smiled: "Don't go into the city like this, wear a bright helmet, don't let the friendly brothers kill you as a slave." ”

Half an hour later, the Hongyi artillery team roared, and seventy Hongyi cannons fired at the urn city again.

Taktan dragged a person and slowly moved around the messy urn city, where the smoke and dust were billowing and the vision was blurred, and there were screams for help everywhere, and some Han people around him who were mentally broken walked around the city wall aimlessly, screaming in despair.

There was a series of thunderclaps outside the city, and a moment later there was a rumbling sound of iron bullets hitting the city bricks on the city wall under him, and the entire city wall shook violently, and several wall battlements in front of it collapsed outside the city, and then some broken stones fell in mid-air, smashing on his helmet and clanging, Taktan's heart almost jumped out, he covered the unconscious Niu Lu Ezhen with his body, and continued to drag Niu Lu Ezhen to move after the stone rain, he only wanted to go to the city tower now, and leave this terrifying city wall from the city ladder.

There were a few dead Houjin soldiers and Han Chinese on the ground, and Taktan bypassed them, and carefully cleared the part of the battlement that had collapsed, and the outer part of the wall there had been exposed to adobe, maybe a few more cannons, this section of the city wall would collapse, and when he passed through Guò, he could see the white smoke that was a mile away, and it was the iron bullets from the smoke that could actually break through the city wall.

Just walked through the gap, he saw a soldier in front of him in a daze, looking blankly at the outside of the city, it was Geshtu from the same village as him, Taktan greeted him loudly: "Geshitu, come and help me pull the ......"

Before he finished speaking, there was a loud "bang", the wall buttress in front of Geshtu suddenly exploded, and a two-pound iron bullet turned the wall battlement into flying stones, and the daze Geshtu was hit by several large stones, and was hit by the female wall behind him like a sack, making a muffled sound mixed with the sound of fractures, Geshtu's body slid down the female wall softly, he drooped his head, and there was no reaction.

Tak Tan bit his lip, lowered his body, dragged Niu Lu Ezhen's heavy body to move hard, the corpses and stones on the city wall made him struggling, and finally a familiar thin figure appeared in the smoke and dust in front of him, Zhang Zhongqi shouted everywhere Master, Tak Tan quickly responded, Zhang Zhongqi stumbled over, came up to help drag Niu Lu Ezhen, Tak Tan's heart was relieved, the two struggled to set up Niu Lu Ezhen, and soon arrived at the location of the city tower behind the urn city.

At this time, another round of artillery rang out, and a section of the wall of the urn city outside rumbled down, and thick dust rose into the air, completely submerging that section of the city wall.

The two of them were frightened, and hurriedly dragged Niu Lu Ezhen down to the city, and the Houjin army under the city was also in chaos, they didn't know how to defend at all, and this was not a place where they were willing to defend desperately, a Niu Lu Ezhen with a yellow flag looked at the two fiercely with a knife, and Tak Tan hurriedly said: "My lord, my master was injured, and I and this Han slave found a place to treat his injuries." ”

Niu Lu, who was in the yellow flag, really glanced at the wounded, stared at the two of them for a while, and said coldly: "Stay here." ”

Taktan and Zhang Zhongqi looked at the really vicious appearance of this Niu Lu E, they didn't dare to disobey the order, found a place where no one was, and put Niu Lu Ezhen on the ground, where there was an extra city wall to cover, much safer, and dozens of wounded soldiers from the urn city were placed around, wailing on the side.

Tak Tan panted heavily, the impression that the Ming army was vulnerable no longer existed in his mind, he no longer wanted to return to the city wall, and he didn't even want to enter the pass again, not only because of the cannons, but also because he saw the Ming army in Gu'an, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he was unlucky.

The last time Tak Tan relied on Bayala to lead away the killer team under the city of Gu'an, he took the time to escape, he led two Bayala war horses when he fled, and the silver taels on them were much more than his one, Zhang Zhongqi waited until Tak Tan appeared, and then led the horse to flee for his life. Their Niu Lu was really not dead, but more than half of the entire Niu Lu was killed or wounded, and after returning to Liangxiang, there were only more than 20 people left.

When attacking Liangxiang, the blue flag took the lead in the city, Mang Gurtai was originally very satisfied, suddenly heard the news, angry, almost cut a few Niu Lu Ezhen, and finally the flag in the solid mountain Ezhen and Melle Zhangjing and others persuaded to leave those Niu Lu Ezhen lives, after returning to the vicinity of Yongping, Taktan and the Ming army clashed several times, restoring some confidence, because their Niu Lu loss was too heavy, Mang Gurtai let them stay to catch more coats, from which to choose some suitable people to carry the flag, so they have been stationed in Luanzhou.

He had just seen the Wendeng camp sitting in the distance between black and red on the city wall, and immediately recognized that this was Gu'an's army. He didn't know how these people would attack the city, and their Niu Lu really didn't know, so everyone was stupid and watched from the city, until the Hongyi cannon came over, and everyone panicked, but Niu Lu really forced everyone not to go down the city wall, until a round of artillery bombardment, their Niu Lu was really knocked out by the jumping stones, and Tak Tan himself was beaten, but he was not strict, and after waking up, he dragged this Niu Lu Ezhen to escape.

This time, he was hit more severely than Gu'an, and the Hongyi Cannon showed him an irresistible strength, no matter how brave and strong the warrior was, he was vulnerable in front of the Hongyi Cannon.

As soon as they sat down for a while, the tower of the west gate was hit by an iron bullet of more than ten catties, and a piece of wood and bricks fell down with a bang, and a piece of wood and bricks smashed under the city wall, burying several wounded soldiers underneath.

The two hurriedly lifted Niu Lu Ezhen a little more away and left the bottom of the city tower, and then there was a faint sound of drums outside the city, and the voices of countless people sounded, and the sound shook the whole city. Zhang Zhongqi trembled and said, "Master, what do they want." ”

"They're about to storm the city!"
