Cannons, hit the city walls.

If the stone wall that used to use Sanhe soil or glutinous rice as a binder had been subjected to such a round of bombardment, I am afraid that it would have collapsed long ago. It's just a pity that this pass has been renovated once in the past two years, and it is still a major repair.

After all, this is the gateway to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the key place for the Ming Dynasty to go to the hinterland of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so it cannot be taken lightly.

This new pass is made of something called cement from the Republic. The strength of the wall is at least ten times higher than before. This is not to say that Zhang Hongbin is an enemy, but the manufacturing process of cement has been discovered and manufactured by a smart person. Even if the furthest is the least effective type, cement is cement, and its effect is better than a mixture of glutinous rice and egg whites.

Today, the key buildings in the Republic are built with high-grade cement produced by the system to ensure that they are strong enough. But externally, there is no restriction on the sale of cement by this private enterprise, and this low-grade cement can be sold all over the country as long as he wishes. Especially in Myanmar Province and Taiwan Province, many places have to build bridges and pave roads, and the demand for cement is still very large, not to mention some special buildings such as bunkers and government office buildings.

Naturally, these cements were sold to the territory of the Manchu Qing Dynasty along with the caravans, and many key checkpoints were also rebuilt with this cement. You must know that Huang Taiji is even reluctant to renovate his own palace. But if it weren't for that, I'm afraid that all the cement wouldn't be able to be put into the construction of the level.

Seeing that a round of artillery bombardment was only retracted by the defenders on the opponent's city wall, but there was no way to collapse the city wall, Sun Chuanting was really a little dissatisfied.

He naturally saw that this pass had been built with cement, so it was stronger than ordinary passes. He had tried before, and the general city wall was destroyed directly in almost a single round of bombardment, a big city like Beijing City...... He didn't try, but he had the same stone wall built, and three rounds of bombardment collapsed.

There is only one kind of wall that will start to be damaged after at least twenty bombardments, and that is the concrete wall.

It's not that the cement walls are very strong, but they are still using black powder at the moment, and even if a craftsman finally researches the particle gunpowder, the power is still too weak. Particle gunpowder plus a special structure of flowering bombs, a round of bombing power is actually not very strong, in the face of cement, a super-space-time city building artifact, the current artillery in the hands of the Ming army can only kneel.

"Shoot back!" There was a voice from the city wall, which was in Chinese, which showed that the defenders were likely to have taken refuge in the Manchu Han people.

After shaving their hair and changing clothes, the rest are basically hardcore traitors, and if it weren't for that, Huang Taiji would not have arranged them at the forefront of the key point.

The soldiers on the city wall soon introduced new artillery, and it was obvious that the Manchus had anticipated this possibility in the early morning, so the artillery that was placed on the city wall at the beginning was only a spare, or a certain batch of several batches.

The newly launched artillery was actually a rear-loading design, and the most important thing was that it took only thirty seconds from the launch to the first round of shooting. Of course, it is not excluded that the ammunition is loaded in advance, but it is gradually proving that this artillery is loaded with ammunition and is very fast.

Although it is not as good as the seventy-five rapid-fire gun, it can definitely crush the artillery of the Ming Dynasty that has not yet been improved.

At the beginning of the first round of shooting, in terms of the power of the shells, it was not inferior to the artillery of the Ming Dynasty at all. Sun Chuanting, who was accustomed to listening to the roar of artillery shells, heard it at the first time, but he was afraid that the other party was also experimenting with granular gunpowder, after all, after the shells fired by the artillery of the two armies exploded, the sound was the same.

In the first round of artillery, the hit rate was terrible, but it still hit some non-commissioned officers. If it weren't for the new tactics that dictated that the soldiers had to be dispersed, I was afraid that more people would have died.

"Aim at the gates! Second round of shooting! Sun Chuanting saw that the other party began to shell, and knew that time was running out, so he immediately changed his order.

The city wall, no matter how many times the bombardment is meaningless, after all, it is made of cement, and after the collapse, the Ming army will not be allowed to garrison here. Therefore, concentrating fire on the opponent's city gate is the most effective way.

The two sides continued to bombard each other, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty almost hit the artillery unit when they fired the second time, they condescended to have the advantage of range, not to mention that they seemed to have mastered the means of quickly loading shells, so the rate of fire actually reached twice that of the Ming artillery.

It is worth celebrating that Yan Yingyuan and his battalion quickly came to the city wall, with the help of grenades and firearms, the time for the opponent to shoot and adjust the muzzle was greatly delayed, otherwise he was afraid that the third round of artillery bombardment would hurt the artillery position.

At this time, the second shot of Daming's artillery, at least ninety percent of the artillery directly hit the city gate.

I don't know how the Manchu gate was cast, and after a bombardment, it was just crumbling and slightly deformed. Sun Chuanting could see that there were no four or five rounds of bombardment at such a gate, but he was afraid that he would not be able to take it down at all.

However, the time required for these four or five rounds of bombing is enough for the other side to bomb himself more than ten times, can he really hold on?

Looking at Yan Yingyuan under the city gate, Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng could only hope that they could help the army delay the rate of the other party's artillery, and at the same time, Lu Xiangsheng also sent two other battalions of soldiers to support.

"Fire!" With Sun Chuanting's shout, the third round of shooting began.

However, it still only deformed the city gate, but did not let it open. At this time, the other side also fired a round of artillery, and one shell fell into the artillery position, which directly caused the three guns to be scrapped along with the artillery.

"Damn it, keep reloading and blast open the gates for me! Oh, my God...... Yan Yingyuan's kid, actually ......" Sun Chuanting turned around and shouted unwillingly, and then when he turned his head, he found a new situation.

That was Yan Yingyuan, who actually threw a flying claw on the wall, and then more than a dozen soldiers did so. In this way, under the cover of friendly troops, they began to try to climb the city walls. But the soldiers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty had already discovered that they had already begun to counterattack with the help of hot oil and other defensive equipment.

"Boom!" , but a few cannonballs exploded on the city wall.

Sun Chuanting quickly looked at the artillery position, but found that the commander of one of the artillery battalions did not seem to follow his order to shell the gate, but gave the order to shell the city wall, which was actually covering his own army.

"What's your name?" Sun Chuanting came to the front of the battalion commander.

"The last general, Jin Sheng, is a person from Nanjing. Dissatisfied with the Ming regime falling into the hands of others, he led a group of fathers and villagers to flee thousands of miles and settled in Henan. Two years ago, the last general went north to join the army, and after graduation, he became the commander of the artillery company. Jin Sheng said excitedly.

"Well done!" Sun Chuanting said more, just patted him on the shoulder and said a word, then turned around and left.

However, as a top leader, his gesture also says a lot of things.

When the other officers saw it, they naturally turned the muzzle of the gun as soon as possible, and changed from bombardment to cover shelling. Because of the friendly forces in the walls, they would rather let the shells go into the walls than get too close.

Naturally, the hit rate decreased a bit, but the advantage was that the enemy was suppressed to the point where he couldn't raise his head at all, and the artillery was basically scrapped.

Seeing this, Yan Yingyuan quickly climbed to the top of the wall with more than a dozen subordinates, and at this time, the artillery turned the muzzle of the gun again and aimed at the gate. As for the city walls on both sides, more people threw their flying claws and began to learn from Yan Yingyuan to climb the city wall.

Yan Yingyuan was also fierce, with a revolver in one hand and a machete in the other, it was like no man's land, killing the head of the city with a river of blood, so that ten of his subordinates could only play soy sauce.

Ten minutes later, more of his own troops reached the top of the city, and Yan Yingyuan began to break through downward.

It was also at this time that the door was finally overwhelmed and fell to the ground with a bang.

"Kill it!" Lu Xiangsheng naturally won't miss this great opportunity to break in!

When the Ming army received the order, they immediately gathered in all directions and killed it in the direction of the city gate...... As Yan Yingyuan broke through to the ground and disintegrated the opponent's defenses, the Ming army had the courage to kill it, and the final battle that lasted for two hours finally captured the pass.

With the pro-guard troops, Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting were the last to walk in, looking at the corpses all over the ground, and they didn't know what they felt in their hearts.

At this moment, it is already dark, and I am afraid that I will not be able to move forward, so I can only let the soldiers clean up the checkpoint and rest in place tonight.

After sending someone to count the battle damage, he found that his division had lost a battalion of non-commissioned men and six artillery pieces. However, the enemy died even worse, and the corpses of at least 3,000 people were piled up there.

Among them, Yan Yingyuan's cousin Xiàn was the most outstanding, not only the first to climb the wall, but also because of his breakthrough, the pressure on the soldiers fighting at the city gate was greatly reduced, so he was naturally indispensable for this first achievement. In addition, Jin Sheng's sensitivity to the battlefield is also destined to be not ordinary, but at this stage, his credit is not as good as Yan Yingyuan.

King Fu and King Tang also dared to kill and fight, King Fu as a staff officer in the middle of the dispatch is also indispensable, Tang Wang was almost injured, but the troops under the command of the command knocked out five artillery pieces of the Manchu Qing Dynasty with one shot, and the credit was greater. After the baptism of artillery fire, the two can be regarded as officially becoming qualified soldiers, and they look forward to their future appearance.

In fact, what Lu Xiangsheng didn't know was that Yan Yingyuan and Jin Sheng would also be among the best anti-Qing righteous men in the future. A miracle that created the eighty-first day of Jiangyin, and did not bow to the Manchus until death; A man who led the troops to resist the Qing Dynasty as a literati and guarded the pass without losing it, but it was a pity that the traitors were troubled and refused to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

Both of them are rare famous generals of the late Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty in the future, but they did not expect that in this time and space, they would appear on the stage of history early.

But gold is gold, they still release their own light, and they are destined to be extraordinary in this life.
