When the first rays of sunlight in the morning shot out from the horizon, the Mongolian bandits concentrated superior forces and firepower launched round after round of attacks on the east gate and the city wall under the cover of artillery fire, and the defenders who were forced to retreat to the city wall were not to be outdone, relying on the tall city wall built in the former Qing Dynasty to defend tenaciously. Throughout the day, the dead soldiers on both sides piled up inside and outside the city of Duolun, and the severity was far greater than that of the previous days.

Although the Mongolian bandit side has an advantage in numbers and firepower, after all, it is on the attacking side, especially its infantry and artillery coordination ability is basically zero, only after the artillery fire is completely silent to know that the attack begins, the defenders in the city have won enough time, coupled with the muddy, slippery ground, and city walls, so that its whole day of attack is still in vain!

Angry, Babu Zabu lost his basic humanity and ordered the artillery team to bombard the residential areas in the city indiscriminately, and these shells caused great harm to the residents of the city.

"Ai Lao, you've worked hard for the past few days!" Seeing that most of Ai Qingshan's original black and white hair had turned white, Tang Zhidao said politely, Ai Qingshan has tried his best to help him except for not going to the battlefield these days, and he is not known how many times stronger than Governor Ma, a parent official.

"Compared to Brother Ruoshui and all the soldiers, what is it for me to do this little thing!" Ai Qingshan shook his head and said gloomily: "Looking at the originally vigorous young men who were transported to the temple, my heart is panicked!" ”

"The loss in the city is not small!" In the past few days, the fighting was carried out outside the city, and the city was basically unscathed, but in the past two days, Mongolian bandits and artillery have been fired indiscriminately, and many houses and shops have been hit.

"Dozens of dead, even more wounded!" Ai Qingshan sighed and said, the loss of his family is not small, a leather shop was hit, tens of thousands of oceans of leather goods were burned, and two guys were killed.

"There is no hiding from the people of the whole city in Huizong Temple!" Tang Zhidao also said helplessly, most Mongolians believe in Buddhism, and Babu Zabu is no exception, so Huizong Temple is currently a relatively safe place.

"The big families in the city have cellars, tunnels and so on, and you can also hide some people." Ai Qingshan pressed the hat on his head that was crooked by the wind and said, "Brother Tang, you can guard the city with peace of mind, and leave the rest of the matter to the old man!" ”

"Okay, then it's hard work!" Tang Dao can only think about it, the enemy's wave after wave of attacks has exhausted him to deal with, and he shouldn't have to worry about these messy things in the first place, isn't there General Tan who is the acting town guard! But what he didn't know was that yesterday a cannonball hit the flower garden of the town guard embassy, and the frightened General Tan now doesn't know where to hide.

After Ai Qingshan left, Commander Tang led Staff Officer Lin and others to find the position of the artillery company. Since the enemy's more powerful and long-range artillery entered the battle, the artillery company basically changed places after firing two cannons, and in this way it still lost one cannon.

"Ye Huichun, is there a way to kill the artillery of the bandits!" Tang Zhidao said straight to the point, and in the past few days, he has realized why his predecessors called artillery the god of war. If this continues, even if the 75-caliber shells are not enough to blast through the city wall, the losses will not continue to increase.

"There's no way, I can't protect myself now!" Ye Huichun spread his hands and said helplessly: "If you let me use these small cannons to fight against other people's heavy artillery, won't you find death!" ”

"There's really nothing to be done?" Tang Zhidao asked with a frown, the only remaining hope was shattered, and it seemed that he could only wait for reinforcements. …,

"Unless you can get a big one!" Ye Huichun said with a wry smile, it is true that he is a top student of the artillery department of the Baoding Military Academy, but it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and it is not good if there is no suitable gun.

"There are also two cannons in the city, but it's been a few years, I don't know if they can still be used!" Chief of Staff Lin, who had been listening from the sidelines, thought about it again and again before he said carefully.

"Really?" Tang Zhidao hurriedly asked, at this time, he was also a dead horse and a live horse doctor.

"Well, it's been a few years, and I just don't know if I can shoot it." Chief of Staff Lin nodded and said, "Don't get your hopes up too much......

"Don't talk nonsense, lead the way!" Tang Zhidao impatiently interrupted Chief of Staff Lin's speech, waved his hand and said, "Huichun, you can also bring a few people with me to have a look." ”

"But here......" Ye Huichun said embarrassedly, the next wave of the bandits' attack would start at any time.

"The Mongolian bandits are also people, and it's time to eat at this point, let's take advantage of this time to take a look!" Tang Zhidao understood Ye Huichun's concerns and explained: "With me, the head of the regiment, no one will say that you left your post without permission!" ”

The group followed Chief of Staff Lin through a block, came to a dilapidated courtyard in the middle of the city, pushed open the rusty iron gate, and in a spacious courtyard, two also rusty cannons lined up, with thick barrels and a caliber of more than a hundred.

"It's these two big guys, they've been here for a long time, but no one has touched them." Chief of Staff Lin pointed to the two big guys and said, "There are only a dozen shells left, piled up in the warehouse on the side." ”

"Huichun, it's up to you!" Tang Zhidao had no clue after circling these two old antiques twice, so he had to put his hope on Ye Huichun, after all, he was born in an authentic artillery class.

"The British rear-loading gun imitated by Guangxu for ten years of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau!" Ye Huichun just glanced at it a few times, then touched the cannon body and looked at the barrel of the cannon and said: "It's thirty or forty years old, how did this old antique come here!" ”

"You don't care where it came from, the key is to show me if it works!" As soon as Tang Zhidao heard that there was still a door, he commanded.

"It's hard to say about this, after leaving it for so long, no one can guarantee it......" Ye Huichun didn't answer directly, but carefully checked the extent of damage to these two big guys.

"Damn, I'll know if I can use a shot soon!" Tang Zhidao patted his head and said, "Everyone, follow me to carry the cannonballs!" ”

According to Commander Tang's note, the Duke of Babu Zabu outside the city is also competing with the artillery. The reason is very simple, the Japanese dwarf soldiers have been fighting for two days in a row, and without the command of the Japanese soldiers, Babu Zabu's subordinates can't play those Japanese-style mountain guns at all, and the original old-fashioned guns alone may not be able to do the artillery in the city.

"Sakata Juncao, can your ministry hold on?" Despite his upset, Babu Zabu still had to personally run to the artillery team to plead with Sakata Juncao, after all, there was not much time left for him to capture Duolun City.

"No, the soldiers of Great Japan are also people, not machines!" Sakata was very arrogant and rejected Babu Zabu's proposal, and in his heart he did not look down on this so-called Mongolian duke, who was just a small pawn laid by the Great Japanese Empire.

"Sakata Juncao, this seems to be against the agreement between us and Kawashima Sen, right?" Master Guo hurriedly said that Kawashima said that these Japanese soldiers unconditionally obeyed the command of the Mongolian side.

"Humph! That's just an agreement between you and Kawashima, what does it have to do with me? Sakata said disdainfully, he came here purely because Sasaki Nakasa meant, and had nothing to do with the ronin of the Black Dragon Society.

"Is Sakata not too satisfied with the price?" Jochi has been dealing with the Japanese for a little longer, and it seems to see the essence of the matter, which the Japanese military Cao is very greedy. …,

"It's still Jochi-kun who is more on the road, three oceans and one cannon are too cheap, and I haven't gotten a piece of the ocean until now." Sakata said hatefully: "These subordinates of mine have already complained. ”

"It turned out to be a matter of money! Well said, well said! Babu Zabu suddenly understood, gave Master Guo a look and said, "I'll order someone to prepare!" ”

After a while, Master Guo led people to trot over with two baskets of white flowers.

"That's pretty much the same, there are still three oceans in front, and at least five oceans in the future!" Sakata greedily shoves the ocean into his pocket, and his heart has long since returned to distant Hokkaido, where there is the love of his dreams, a prostitute in the town who seems to be stunning.

"Okay, just do as you say!" Babu Zabu hurriedly agreed, anyway, as long as he broke through Duolun City, there would be the ocean.

"Then you can fire now!" It wasn't until the Oriental dwarves had completely divided the ocean in the frame that Babu Zabu dared to urge: "This time concentrate on the East City Gate, there is no need to fight in the city for the time being." ”

"Not so fast, at least a quarter of an hour!" Who knew that Sakata said casually: "These cannons have been shelling continuously for a morning, so it's better to rest for a while, otherwise they will explode." ”

"Then wait a minute!" When Master Guo saw that Babu Zabu's face was not good-looking, he was afraid that he would offend the Japanese and hurriedly reassured: "Anyway, I don't care about this moment......"

"Then I'll wait here!" Babu Zabu held back his anger and said, these dogs, wait for Lao Tzu to cut down Duolun and feed you to the dogs.

A few minutes after the "boom ......", the artillery in the city rang out, and the shells landed very close to the artillery positions of the Mongolian bandits.

"Run, run!" With the sound of cannonballs whistling, Sakata screamed in shock and ran east.

"What tricks is this little devil playing!" Babu Zabu cursed with a grin, as if he did not realize the danger of death, and the shells in the city had never hit so far before,

"Cannonballs, cannonballs!" Master Guo also ran out, and within a few steps, a big cannonball fell next to Babu Zabu and exploded, and the Duke of Babu Zabu, a generation of heroes who had been crisscrossing the north for many years, hung up like this!
