Wei Zheng personally wrote a memora to the imperial court, and when he was sent to the capital quickly.

The 5,000 musketeers under Wang Feng's personal command had already rushed to a position less than three miles away from Zuoyun County with the help of war horses.

At this time, the sound of muskets and shelling continued to sound in Zuoyun County...... It can already be clearly transmitted to Wang Feng's ears.

Wang Feng, who was riding on the war horse, subconsciously tightened the reins of the war horse and stopped the war horse under his crotch.

Then, he ordered the subordinates who were hurrying behind him.

"Battalion Commander Wang, you are the commander of the personal guard battalion, immediately take my official seal, and rush to Zuoyun County first....tell the general of the Zuoyun garrison, the five thousand musketeers personally commanded by the general have arrived....However, before seeing the general, you must not let the Mongolian cavalry outside the city know the news that the reinforcements have arrived in Zuoyun County...."

"I was going to take this opportunity to take the Mongol cavalry by surprise....Use the corpse of the Mongols to tell Sù Dolgon that his dream of capturing Zuoyun has been completely shattered...."

An hour later, the battle that took place on Zuoyun City had just ended, and Wei Zheng, who was dressed in iron armor, surrounded by several guards and subordinates, climbed the city wall full of corpses and wounded.

Wang Yunsheng, the general of the Zuoyun garrison whose iron armor had been blackened by gunsmoke, saw Wang Feng, and his face directly showed a happy smile for the rest of his life, and walked quickly towards Wang Feng's location.

Because, until now, there are only more than 3,000 troops left in the 5,000 garrisons under his command.

More importantly, because of the continuous fighting, the five thousand old-fashioned muskets that were temporarily equipped to the Zuoyun garrison. At this time, there were less than 2,000 shots left to continue shooting.

In this case. If the reinforcements under the command of Wang Feng could not reach Zuoyun in time. It won't take long. Soldiers under his command. Because they had no weapons, they had to fight the Mongols with superior forces in close quarters.

When the time comes, Zuoyun City, which is under his feet, will fall into the hands of the Mongols.

Kneeling on one leg and giving Wang Feng a military salute, Wang Yunsheng said loudly: "The last general Zuo Yun is guarded, see the general..."

"The last general has already followed the general's request and has not revealed to the soldiers that reinforcements have arrived... The Mongols, who had just been repulsed by us outside the city, did not know the news that our reinforcements had arrived...."

"Well done...."Wang Feng nodded. Said with a satisfied face.

As he walked towards the city tower, he ordered: "Wang Garrison, you first introduce me to the battle situation and the situation of the Mongolian army outside the city." ”

Ascending the city tower, and with the help of monoculars, the Mongolian army array with flags fluttering outside the city appeared in Wang Feng's field of vision.

At the same time, dozens of artillery pieces standing at the forefront of the Mongolian army were all leaning on sandbags, and the muzzles of the black holes were directly pointed at Zuoyun City. Point to yourself...

Just when Wang Feng was holding a telescope, searching for something in the middle of the Mongol army. The king guard beside him suddenly pointed in a direction outside the city. He said, "General, there are the Mongol musketeers, there are as many as 8,000 people..."

Looking in the direction of Wang Yunshan's finger, eight thousand Mongols were riding on war horses. However, they did not have in their hands the scimitars that were common to the Mongol cavalry, but muskets that tasted five feet with each rod...

Although I didn't see it very clearly, based on my own understanding of muskets, the muskets held by these 8,000 Mongols were not the only flintlock muskets in the Haw Par Army, but the most common old-fashioned arquebuses in the official army.

As for the dozens of artillery pieces in front of the formation, without exception, they are the most common Franc machines in the official army...

Seeing this, Wang Feng's first thought in his heart was: If you want to inflict heavy losses on the Mongol army outside the city, you must first take down these firearms troops.......

So, Wang Feng asked Wang Yunshan directly beside him: "Wang Garrison, I was going to inflict heavy losses on their firearms units in the next attack of the Mongolian army....I don't know how the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian firearms troops is..."

Wang Shoubei's eyes lit up, and he quickly replied: "General, the arquebus equipped by the Mongol army has a range of eighty paces... During the two-day attack, the Mongol army was covered by firearms, and 8,000 musketeers advanced to a distance of 70 paces outside the city. And their cavalry, all dismounted as infantry, attacked my left cloud under the cover of muskets...."

"As for their artillery, all of them are shelling our Zuoyun City with solid shells..."

Wang Feng's eyes lit up, and he said with a hint of surprise: "If this is the case, then the general will have a way to destroy their artillery and inflict heavy losses on their firearms troops in the next round of attacks of the Mongol army..."

"Ben will command... Artillery ......"

Thirty-six 'mortars', which had just been equipped with the Haw Par Army, were assembled with the efforts of hundreds of gunners and in just one cup of tea......

With the support of a tripod, hold the muzzle of your own black hole high.

At the same time, the fixed shells wrapped in oiled paper were also neatly stacked in the boxes next to the guns....

The artillery battalion is combat-ready ... On the city wall, which is no more than three miles long, the more than 4,000 tiger and leopard army musketeers who have just arrived in Zuoyun City have already taken over the defense from the tired garrison....

Pingduan's flintlock musket, which had been loaded with lead bullet, quietly waited for a new attack by the Mongol cavalry.

"Doodoo...."

After Wang Feng finished preparing, a dull horn sounding representing the attack finally sounded on the battlefield.

Under the cover of the sound of horns, eight thousand musketeers on war horses quickly drove the war horses and advanced towards Zuoyun City.

At the same time, dozens of artillery pieces two hundred paces away were also manipulated by the Mongols, and a series of deafening shelling sounds.

Dozens of black, solid iron shells, with a whistling sound, flew towards the city walls......

You must know that since the battle half a year ago, Zuoyun City in front of him has been strengthened and heightened under the order of Wei Zheng. Coupled with the application of cement, the Zuoyun city wall under his feet is not to mention impregnable, and there is no problem in resisting these solid shells.

Therefore, as a crashing sound sounded on the battlefield, dozens of shells, in addition to crossing the city wall, flew into Zuoyun City. The remaining shells, seemingly powerful, only left white spots on the city walls...

The Mongols outside the city, perhaps knowing that the shelling could only serve as a deterrent and would not cause much damage to the defenders.

Therefore, the beginning of the shelling did not affect the pace of advance of the Mongol musketeers.

When the Mongols fired seven or eight rounds of cannonballs at Zuoyun City in a row, the mighty Mongol musketeers finally advanced the military formation to a distance of seventy paces from the city wall.

Not only that, but these Mongolian musketeers even listed the most common three-stage musket formations of the officers and soldiers outside the city walls. Then, very skillfully light the arquebus, flat-end muskets, and get ready to shoot...

At this time, the stern-faced guards were still pressing the officers and men of the artillery battalion, forbidding them to fire their artillery in advance.

"Bang bang bang ......" gunshots rang out, and the Mongols lined up in a musket array outside the city and quickly fired the first round of lead bullets at the city walls.

Thousands of lead bullets whizzed in, some hit the city wall, making a 'bang bang -...bang' sound, and some directly crossed the battlements, whistling over everyone's heads, and flew into the city with the aftermath.

In the face of the lead bullets fired by the Mongols, Wang Fengyan's facial expression still did not change in the slightest. However, Wang Yunshan, the garrison standing beside him, began to get anxious...

With a hint of concern, he reminded: "General, the Mongols have begun to attack..."

"If the Mongol archers are allowed to come into range, the arrows they throw will be able to shoot our soldiers on the city walls......the losses of the soldiers will be very large..."

Wang Feng shook his head and replied: "Don't worry....now counterattack, at most a few rounds of shooting, the Mongols' eight thousand musketeers will be out of our musket range... So, we have to wait, wait until the Mongol attacking forces enter the battlefield and mingle with their musketeers, and then counterattack..."

"In this case....even if these musketeers want to retreat, it will not be possible to withdraw the range of our muskets in a short time....when the time comes, we will be able to inflict maximum damage on the Mongols in this round of attack."

"The general is wise...."Hearing this, although the worry in Wang Yunshan's heart did not decrease in the slightest, under the gaze of Wang Feng's fierce eyes, he had to close his mouth and wait for the fighter to arrive.

At this moment, if you look down from the air, you will see: although the Mongolian army outside Zuoyun City is fighting very lively, although the guns and cannons are shaking the sky. However, Zuoyun City, which was attacked by the Mongol army, was as if the defenders were dead, and there was no movement from beginning to end......

Dolgon, who was watching the battle outside the city, looked at the silent Zuoyun City, although his heart was full of doubts. However, it was not taken too seriously.

Because, according to his own analysis of the battle situation, Zuo Yun's defenders couldn't hold out for too long.

So, without thinking, Dorgon ordered, "It's time to attack... Tell the warriors that the defenders of Zuoyun can't hold out for too long, as long as they capture Zuoyun, Benbeile allows them to burn and loot in Zuoyun's territory for two days. ”

The 5,000 Mongol cavalry, who had abandoned their horses, under the command of their respective generals, either carried longbows, sabers, or ladders...... Mighty and slaughtered towards Zuoyun City.

In the blink of an eye, the Mongol army rushed from two hundred to eighty paces, and began to pass the musketeers, rushing towards the Zuoyun wall, which was getting closer and closer to it.

At this time, Wang Feng's face full of Yan sù finally showed a sneer.

Personally pick up a torch and lean into the arquebus that sticks out of the tail of the mortar. Prepare to use the sound of mortars in front of you to give the order to counterattack to the subordinates on the front line of the city wall. (To be continued......)
