"Bang Bang Bang..." After the sound of gunfire like popping beans rang out, dozens of demomen who had rushed fifty paces outside the city wall fell directly to seven or eight people.

Of course, the hundreds of Tartar musketeers who had just finished shooting and were ready to conceal were also suppressed by the new round of fire of the Tiger and Leopard Army, and more than 100 people fell again......

Under the supervision of hundreds of Tartar officers behind them, these Tartar musketeers, although full of fear, still had to hold their muskets and brave the buckshot of the Hawpar Army at the city walls, and shoot lead bullets outside the city.

Round after round, dozens of Demomen in the first round all fell in the offensive path. The Tartar musketeers, who held the city walls, also paid the price of almost five or six hundred men ....

The mile-long line of the city wall was covered with almost an entire layer of the corpses of the musketeers who had died in battle.

Anyone with a little military common sense knows that this is an unprecedented victory in a siege battle. Because, if the fight continues according to this ratio, the 5,000 soldiers under Zhou Yuhong's command can completely annihilate the 5,000 Tartars in Zuoyun City and take Zuoyun City with negligible casualties.

However, in the face of this result, Zhou Yuhong was not happy, and he was very dissatisfied.

You must know that Zhou Yuhong didn't know that the bold Zhao Yun had changed the planned battle plan and changed the order to contain Dolgon to annihilate Dolgon.

In this case, once the news of his attack on Zuoyun City is known to Dolgon, in order to ensure the safety of the retreat, Dolgon will definitely return to Zuo Yun at any cost...

According to the speed of the cavalry, at the latest an hour and a half. The 5,000 cavalry commanded by Dorgon was able to return from the battlefield to the city. Together with Zuoyun to defend the enemy. Internal and external pinching. Hit yourself hard.

Therefore, in order to prevent this from happening, he must take and defend Zuoyun City within an hour and a half.

However, attacking Zuoyun City according to this style of play, although it can be taken, the time required is by no means what Zhou Yuhong can wait.

Facing the battlefield that instantly quieted down in front of you. Zhou Yuhong's brows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "The siege speed is too slow, we must find a way to seize the time and capture Zuoyun City as much as possible..."

"Although the Tartars have left us an hour and a half, in the middle of this hour and a half, at least half an hour must be left for defense. Therefore, we must completely take down Zuo Yun within an hour..."

"And in this hour, at most, only one stick of incense can be left to break through the fortifications of the Tartars. Otherwise, we simply won't have enough time to clean up the remnants of the Tartars in Zuoyun City-..."

After all that's said. Zhou Yuhong, who had a heavy face, directly opened his mouth and ordered: "Commander Wang, immediately organize a demolition team." Continue to attack Zuoyun City. However, this time you can't just send a demolition team up......"

"Although our firepower can completely suppress the Tartars on the city wall....however, the fire fired by the Tartars is still very strong....we must find a way to disperse the fire of the Tartars..."

"Send several more demolition teams up at once, and in addition to this, several musket teams are being drawn to launch a feint attack on the city wall from different directions. In a word, we want to give the Tartars the illusion that the entire outside of the city is full of our attacking troops, so that their counterattack firepower cannot be concentrated......"

"As musketeers, we all know that in order to bring out the power of muskets, we must use them intensively. Once dispersed, the musket is not as useful as the bow and arrow......"

"Bang Bang..."

Not long after Zhou Yuhong's order was issued, a gunshot like a popping bean rang out.

Just when the positions of thousands of musketeers were about to be completely covered by the white smoke from the musket fire... Hundreds of tigers and leopards quickly rushed out of the formation, bent over, shouting slogans, and rushed towards the city wall from different directions.

In the face of the mighty attack of the Tiger and Leopard Army, the Tartar officers on the city wall, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, were directly frightened.

It was only when the Tiger and Par Army rushed from a hundred to eighty paces that the Tartars reacted from their shock.

Then, regardless of it, he raised his saber in his hand and shouted to order his subordinates to shoot at the Tiger and Par Army attacking outside the city.

However, in the face of the attack of the Haw Par Army, which was more than a mile wide in front, the Tartar musketeers standing at the battlements of the city wall were also stunned.

Outside the entire city wall, there were tigers and leopards rushing towards him everywhere, and the musket in his hand was shot in that direction....

Just as they hesitated, the Haw Par Army suppressed their lead bullets and was already whistling towards them.

As a series of screams sounded around him, the Tartar musketeers, who were not hit by lead bullets, pulled the trigger directly outside the city in order to save their lives, regardless of the direction...

Gunshots rang out like popping beans, and hundreds of lead bullets flew out of the chamber with a whistling sound, very outside the city.

However, under this kind of aimless shooting, the lead bullet that has no accuracy in the first place is even less accurate....

Of the hundreds of Haw Par attacking troops that spread across the mountains, less than five were unlucky enough to be hit by lead bullets. As for the remaining Haw Par soldiers, they threw off their arms and continued to charge forward under the cover of the musket team behind them.

At this time, the Tartar officers on the city walls became more anxious.

Looking at the attacking troops of the Haw Par Army outside the city that were getting closer and closer to him, he didn't care about the so-called musket array. In order to increase the density of firepower, he directly waved the saber in his hand, drove all the musketeers who had been loaded on the city wall to the front line of the wall battlement, and ordered them to shoot at the tiger and leopard army outside the city.

However, in the face of the Haw Par Army's attacking troops all over the mountains, although the density of lead bullets fired by them increased greatly, the real effect was not very good. After all, they were armed with muskets that had not yet reached the level where they could kill the enemy with firing accuracy.

The change in the Tartar defenders could not change the increasingly bad tide of battle, but it did give the Hawpanthers more opportunities to kill.

Thousands of Tartar musketeers gathered on the battlements like a row of living targets, waiting for the tiger and leopard musketeers outside the city to shoot themselves.

And the Haw Par Army's musketeers, who were responsible for providing fire cover, did not disappoint them.

As soon as the Tartars' guns rang out, the whistling lead bullets were already flying towards them with the breath of death.

"Snort..."

The dull sound of lead bullets penetrating flesh resounded on the city walls, and with just one round of suppressive counterattack by the Haw Par Musketeers, more than three hundred Tartar musketeers, in despair, fell heavily in pools of blood.

However, in order to block the Tiger and Leopard Army, in order to hold Zuo Yun. The Tartar officers scurrying back and forth on the walls didn't care about that.

As if he didn't see the thick layer of corpses that had been covered on the city wall, he continued to wield his saber and forced the musketeers who had been reloaded to continue to shoot at the attacking troops of the Haw Par Army outside the city.

Although the counterattack of the Tartar musketeers regardless of casualties brought a lot of casualties to the Haw Par Army, it could not stop the pace of the attack of hundreds of Haw Par Army.

Even more important, as more and more Tartar musketeers fell on the walls. The Tartar musketeers, whose hearts were already covered with fear, in order not to be hit by the lead bullets whistling outside the city, just rushed to the edge of the battlements with their muskets, pulled the trigger aimlessly outside the city, and then quickly retreated....

In this case, only God knows where the lead bullets of these musketeers went.

More than 100 Demomen, under the cover of hundreds of musketeers, paid almost a third of the casualties, and finally rushed into the city gate with explosives bags.

After dozens of twenty-pound explosive packets were piled up, the five-foot-long fire rope was quickly ignited......

"Boom..."A swaying explosion sounded, and the city wall, which was centered on the city gate and extended more than ten zhang on both sides, was lifted high directly in the explosion.

Subsequently, under the action of its own gravity, it fell to the ground with a bang.

Of course, the city wall, which was still majestic just now, had turned into a pile of rubble by the time it landed.

As the smoke and dust from the explosion slowly dissipated, a huge gap with a width of more than 20 zhang appeared in front of the Tiger and Par Army. As for the Tartar musketeers, who still held on to the city walls and survived, at this time, they were directly blown up...

Just when the thousands of tiger and leopard musketeers were about to rush to the gap in the city wall with shouts of killing, the remaining Tartar musketeers on the city wall reacted from their panic and made two completely different movements.

The Tartar officer, who was not afraid of death, was like a hungry wolf who had killed the red eye, and he waved his saber in his hand regardless of it, trying to drive the musketeers around him to the gap, block the offensive of the Tiger and Par Army, and plug the gap.

As for the ordinary musketeers who had already been covered in terror, they had long since lost the courage to continue resisting.

No matter how the Tartar officers around him roared heartbreakingly, they even brandished their sabers and slashed at their comrades. The musketeers, who had been covered in fear, still threw down their muskets without hesitation, and ran away from the gap in the wall like lost dogs.

In such a situation, hundreds of Tartar officers had to wave and curse and personally rush to the gap.

Just when they were like wolves, ready to pounce on the attacking troops of the Tiger and Leopard Army, and pull a few pads before dying. Dozens of black iron balls with wooden handles suddenly flew out of the Haw Par Army's attacking force and flew towards them.

The iron ball fell to the ground, the explosion sounded, and clusters of orange-red fireballs also rose from the ground...

Before the hundreds of Tartar officers with shocked faces could react, the flying fragments of the grenade had already carried the breath of death, piercing into their bodies without hesitation, allowing their limited vitality to flow quickly along the wounds......

Then, with a look of despair and incomprehension, he fell heavily on the way to complete his mission as a soldier. (To be continued......)
