There is no doubt that in this round of shooting, the casualties paid by Gan Ning's new saber shield man, who only had a shield for protection, were much greater than the attack just now.

However, the casualties of the Haw Par Army musketeers at the head of the city were not much better.

After all, the number of musketeers in the new army of Ganning was three times that of the Haw Par Army, and the number of lead bullets fired at the opponent in each round was also three times as high.

Therefore, this kind of firing did not last long, and the Haw Par musketeers had to fall into a critical juncture of life and death......

At the head of the city, facing Zhang Jingchu with a gloomy face, the chief of staff had to open his mouth to remind......

"Regiment commander, there are only four companies left of the musketeers who can still defend in the four directions of the earth fort...... A company of musketeers in each direction...... And the new army of Ganning, there are still four hundred musketeers in each direction, and if they continue to fight, these four companies of musketeers will be exhausted at night......"

The chief of staff is worried, how can Zhang Jingchu not know?

However, in such a short period of time and in such a bad battle situation, it was even more difficult for him to think of a way to crack it......

Therefore, under the gaze of the chief of staff, Zhang Jingchu's face did not change in the slightest except for his solemnity......

At this time, the chief of staff suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Regiment commander, do you want us to learn from the Ganning New Army more than half a month ago, abandon the city wall, and fight with the Ganning New Army in the fort...... Hold out as much time as you can and hold out until reinforcements arrive.

Zhang Jingchu's eyes lit up, and his brain began to work after him.

Continue to hold the city wall, with the few troops in your hands, you may not be able to hold out for even an hour......

An hour in time. Even if the reinforcements get the news. And put on wings. It is also impossible to fly to the battlefield. What's more, the reinforcements I am looking forward to, whether they have received the news is still a question......

Abandoning the city wall and relying on the buildings in the fort to engage in close combat with the other party is undoubtedly a way to persist for a longer time...... Thinking of this, Zhang Jingchu's face directly revealed a decisive expression from the heart.

Thinking to the staff officers beside him, he decisively ordered: "That's it...... Herald. All the defenders of the city wall immediately abandoned the wall and retreated into the fort...... Let the Ganning New Army enter the city, and use the squad and platoon as a unit to engage in close combat with the Ganning New Army......"

In the blink of an eye, the gunfire on the city wall disappeared completely. At the same time, not a single grenade flew out of the city.

In the face of the sudden changes on the battlefield, the sword and shield hand, who was still in a desperate forward attack posture just now, suddenly stopped.

Because. They didn't understand what was going on with the Haw Par Army on the city walls. Why keep throwing grenades at yourself, all of a sudden they are all gone.

At this moment, they were like a group of people who were ready to die, and all of a sudden, someone told them that they didn't have to die......

The huge gap caused by this must not be described simply as a surprise.

Therefore, in the face of the sudden surprise, everyone was stunned and did not react for a long time.

When some of the officers slowly reacted from the shock and realized something. The whole person was immediately covered by a surprise from the heart. Then, he shouted loudly to his subordinates......

"Brothers, the Haw Par Army has been defeated by us, they must have fled for their lives...... They all continued to rush with me, rushed to the foot of the city wall, blew open the city gate with grenades, rushed into the city, and wiped out the remaining tiger and leopard army......"

"Into the city...... Brothers, give me a ......."

After all kinds of shouts sounded on the battlefield, the remaining 3,000 sword and shield men of the death squad rushed towards the city gate as if they had suddenly been beaten with chicken blood......

"Boom, boom, boom......" Several deafening explosions sounded in the city gate hole, and the city gate, which was still closed just now, was immediately blown out of a huge gap......

Seeing that the offensive path was opened, the crazy sword and shield hands, regardless of whether there was any conspiracy and ambush in the fort, did not want to die

and rushed forward......

However, would Zhang Jingchu let them into the city so easily......

Although the city wall was abandoned by Zhang Jingchu, Zhang Jingchu did not ignore this gate hole in the fort.

In order to deal a heavy blow to the new army of Ganning in the city gate cave, a large number of their troops were killed and wounded. Zhang Jingchu directly built a temporary barricade less than fifty steps away from the city gate.

A platoon of musketeers, like javelins, is now behind the barricades, holding muskets, quietly waiting for the new army of Ganning to take the initiative to hit the muzzle......

At a firing distance of fifty paces, even if the Ganning New Army held a shield in his hand, he could not stop the whistling lead bullets.

So, when they rushed into the gate hole, ready to rush into the fort. The gunshots rang out, and more than a dozen buckshot bullets whistled in, because there were too many sword and shield hands in the fort, and the people were crowded, and they didn't even need to aim, so they pierced the shield and shot into the body of the sword and shield hand behind the shield......

Because this shooting distance is so close...... Some of the buckshot that didn't hit the shield didn't stay in the body of the first shield man after it was shot into the body......

Under the action of the remaining kinetic energy, it directly penetrates the body of this sword and shield hand, and the residual power is undiminished and shoots into the body of the next sword and shield hand...... Give the new army of Ganning a string of gourds, and destroy two sword and shield men with a lead bullet.

Therefore, at the moment when the gunshots rang out, there were almost ten Gan Ning's new saber and shield bearers, with a face full of unwillingness and despair, and fell heavily in the city gate hole. I didn't understand when I died, didn't the Haw Par Army retreat, why was it still attacked, and I lost my life......

A squad of musketeers, without even casualties, easily shot ten Ganning new troops......

Such a good opportunity to kill the enemy, of course, everyone will not let it go.

Therefore, the two musket squads standing behind them immediately shot the lead bullets in the chambers of the guns into the city gate hole according to the combat deployment......

Round after round, a steady stream of sword and shield hands poured into the city gate......

Facing the scene of slaughter in the city gate cave, the sword and shield hand who rushed in front tried his best to stop, so that the brothers in the back would not squeeze themselves into the city gate cave again.

However, such efforts were in vain......

The sword and shield hand who rushed behind did not know the situation inside the city gate cave at all.

In their eyes, the gates of the city have been opened, and as long as they storm the fortress, victory will be their own.

Therefore, under the temptation of victory, they simply do not care whether there is danger ahead. The instinct of the body, constantly manipulating them, continuing to attack forward, and rushing into the city is victory......

Soon, a thick layer of corpses was covered in the narrow city gate hole......

And it was only at this moment that the court officers who commanded these sword and shield hands developed the abnormality of the city gate hole......

After letting him learn that more than 100 sword and shield hands had fallen in the city gate cave, he was shocked, even if he knew that these fallen sword and shield hands were originally death squads who came to send him to death, he was very heartbroken.

Because, this kind of death has no meaning for the entire battlefield......

Therefore, this court officer very decisively ordered the sword and shield men to stop the attack...... (To be continued......)
