"Yes, the Haw Par Army can dig trenches, and we can dig trenches," exclaimed a musketeer-commander with a hint of excitement.

Hearing this, Wu Jingtian's eyes also shot out two rays of light.

The face that was still full of despair just now also followed, revealing a glimmer of hope. Facing the military advisor, he ordered with an expectant face: "Military advisor, you say... As long as the Tiger and Par Army can stop the city from breaking through, the commander can agree to anything..."

The military advisor nodded, and without the slightest hesitation, he said: "The idea of the students is to rush out of the city gate under the cover of artillery....along the line of the trench, dig a trench with a depth of more than five feet and a width of one battle..."

"If only we dare to dig this trench before the Hawpan-Anthropus Army, and ambush thousands of musketeers and pikemen in the trench. Even if the trench that the Haw Par Army is digging extends under the corner of the city wall, it will be wiped out by our ambush force..."

Just do it......

Under the command of the military division and the supervision of Wu Jingtian, a thousand traitors who had just entered the city for less than three days and had not yet learned to operate muskets and artillery, each holding a shovel, quickly gathered at the gate of the city.

Just like the tactics just now, dozens of traitors were used as bait to attract the Haw Par Army mortars to open fire. The remaining traitors, like shrunken turtles, retreated back into the city and waited quietly for the end of the bombardment......

Because of the continuous shelling just now, dozens of artillery pieces only fired four or five shells at the city gate, and the black barrels were once again burned red. In desperation, the mortars had to stop shelling and cool down the mortar barrels.

Moment. A flowering bullet fired at the gates. Directly from a few dozen rounds to five or six rounds.

The traitors who had been guarding the gates of the city did not miss this opportunity. In the roar of their respective leaders, like a flood that has burst its banks, they quickly rushed out of the city gate with a shovel in hand......

Of the 1,000 traitors who managed to break out of the city gate and out of the smoke of gunpowder, there were less than 700 left.

In the face of the traitors who had already appeared at the city gates, more than a thousand tiger and leopard musketeers hidden in the trenches. Aim quickly at the target, and then pull the trigger of the musket without hesitation.......

A series of crisp gunshots rang out on the battlefield, and lead bullets from all directions, as if they had eyes, flew towards the city gate at the same time......

The more than 600 traitors who had just rushed out of the smoke and whose expressions on their faces had not yet dissipated for the rest of their lives were hit by the whistling lead bullets before they even had time to react. Then, with a muffled grunt and a desperate expression before dying. Fell heavily in a pool of blood.

At the critical moment, the traitor commander, who has a wealth of combat experience, spoke. shouted at his subordinates.

"Get down, lie down for me....if you don't want to die right away, climb down to the corner of the city wall, lie on the ground and dig a trench for me."

In the sound of gunfire, the more than 500 traitors, who had been sharply reduced by more than 100 people in an instant, seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw in despair, and fell to the ground regardless of it. Then, under the personal demonstration of the commander, little by little crawled to the foot of the city wall on both sides of the city gate.

Faced with the sudden change of the traitors, the Haw Par Army, which suddenly lost its shooting target, had to stop shooting without the slightest sense. Then, he quietly looked at the remnants of the traitors a hundred paces away, wanting to see what these traitors wanted to do.

Under the gaze of more than a thousand pairs of eyes of the Tiger and Leopard Army, the traitor, who had already climbed to the foot of the city wall, quickly picked up the shovel and began to dig.

Because all the dirt dug up by the traitors was piled up on the side facing the tiger and leopard army, just half an hour later, a one-foot-high earthen wall appeared in front of the tiger and leopard army.

The traitor who was lying on the ground and digging hard was already able to dig half-crouch at this moment.

As the traitors dug faster and faster, the earthen walls piled up in front of the tiger and leopard army became higher and higher. And the trench under the feet of the traitor became deeper and deeper...

At this time, if you don't know the purpose of the traitor rushing out of the county, then Zhou Yuhong, the general, will be in vain.

The face that was full of smiles just now because his subordinates had successfully eliminated thousands of traitors had been replaced by solemnity at this moment.

After slamming his clenched fist against the earthen wall in front of him, he said to himself, "We must not let the traitor's trench continue to dig." Otherwise, we will cover the communication trenches used by the sappers, and there will be no way to extend under the corners of the city walls... Not only that, but the traitors can also use this trench to destroy our attacking forces in large numbers..."

After finishing speaking, he ordered directly to the adjutant general: "What about the artillery....order the artillery, immediately fire at the front line of the city wall, and blow up all the traitors who left the city to death-...

"The artillery in the hands of the traitors can only shoot at a straight point, and the shells fired are also flying in a straight line, at will, their shells can't hurt our soldiers hiding in the trenches. However, our artillery run is a curve fire, and the shells fired are flying in a curve, falling from the sky to kill and injure the enemy. “

"So, the flowering projectiles fired by the mortar can easily fall into the trench that the traitors are digging and destroy the traitors in the trench... What are you still doing in a daze, and immediately go and convey the general's order..."

The adjutant general did not leave immediately, but said helplessly: "General, the mortar barrels of the heavy artillery battalion have been beaten red, and there are not many matching flowering shells, even if they are allowed to shoot at the front line of the city wall, with the current ability of the heavy artillery battalion, there is no way to eliminate them......"

Zhou Yuhong was stunned for a moment, and continued to shout: "The heavy mortars of the heavy artillery battalion can't be used, so the medium mortars equipped by each regiment and the light mortars equipped by each battalion will participate in the battle..."

"The siege has been going on for so long, and neither of these two artillery pieces has fired a single flowering shell. They still have enough shells to wipe out the traitors on the front line of the walls..."

Hearing this, the adjutant general's eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "The last general will take the order..."

However, before he finished speaking, a trace of worry resurfaced on his face, and he continued to ask Zhou Yuhong: "General, there is another question here for the last general..."

"Medium mortars and light mortars have a limited range, and if the artillery positions are reconstructed according to the range of the two guns, both guns will be within the effective range of the traitor Franc machine guns....so, please indicate the specific location of the artillery positions..."

Hearing this, Zhou Yuhong's brows also wrinkled...

Just as he was deep in thought, the trench under his feet, which was five feet wide, suddenly came into view.

In an instant, a smile full of slyness flashed from the corner of Zhou Yuhong's mouth.

Facing the adjutant general in front of him, he ordered: "Trench, order the artillery, build an artillery position in the trench we have just dug." If the trench is too narrow, draw a musket regiment directly from the back and continue to widen and deepen the trench ...."

In the Haw Par Army, with a large number of mortars in the army, each musket regiment was equipped with a medium mortar team, that is, nine medium mortars.

As for the musket battalion, a light mortar platoon armed with three light mortars ....

Therefore, among the 15,000 musketeers commanded by Zhou Yuhong this time, at least nine medium mortar artillery teams and 27 light mortar artillery platoons were equipped, with a total of 1780 mortars of two calibers...

In addition, we all know one thing about the curved weapon of the mortar, the closer the firing distance, the higher the accuracy of the artillery.

So, among the more than a hundred mortars that were already rapidly deployed on the front line of the trench, one round of shells had at least a fifty percent hit rate.

Coupled with the abundance of ammunition, more than a hundred mortars fired only eight rounds of shells at the first line of the city wall, and there was no sign of the traitors digging a trench on the first line of the city wall a hundred paces away.

Not only that, but a wall of earth that the traitors had worked so hard to pile up in front of the Tiger and Par Army was also razed to the ground in the repeated explosions just now......

The traitor warlord's painstaking strategy to destroy the enemy was once again shattered by the sound of artillery fire, and a whole thousand of his men were buried.

In the face of this result, the faces of all the traitor leaders, including Wu Jingtian, showed a trace of despair from the heart. At this moment, they were helpless, and they could only watch as the several trenches that the Tiger and Par Army were digging extended to the corners of the city wall little by little.......

Wu Jingtian's face was also shrouded in a thick expression of despair, but as the commander of the rebel army, he still reacted at the first time and quickly recovered his composure.

A few henchmen who followed Wu Jingtian who had been born and died next to him also reacted and calmed down.

After all, they are all people who have experienced life and death, and they have long put their own life and death out of the way...

After feeling the gaze of his subordinates looking at him, Wu Jingtian, whose face had recovered his calmness, first showed a satisfied smile on his face, and then spoke: "Since we have no way to stop the Haw Par Army from digging a trench under our noses, it is impossible for this city wall under our feet to hold on with the sharp firearms of the Haw Par Army..."

"As scheduled, if we want to attack and defend the city wall and kill a large number of the Tiger and Par Army, there is no way to achieve it..."

Just when everyone's faces showed a gloomy expression because of this, Wu Jingtian's words suddenly turned around and continued to shout, his words were full of murderous aura.

"Since the walls don't serve our purpose, then we can only change places...."

"Therefore, Ben Shuai decided that after a little resistance on the city wall, all the remaining brothers of ours would hide in the city. Use the houses in the city to kill and injure the Haw Par Army's troops entering the city little by little......"

"Ben Shuai can say with certainty that as long as the Haw Par Army conducts it, their firearms advantage will be wiped out....In the face of our brothers who are hidden in all corners of the city, what the Haw Par Army can do is to fight with us in close quarters, house by house..."

"When the time comes, it will be a great opportunity for the brothers to show their might, kill the official army, and kill the tiger and leopard army......" (To be continued......
