Until this moment, the traitors guarding the city walls still did not react from the shock.

Because, at this time, there are too many questions in their hearts that need to be solved.

Why does the artillery of the Haw Par Army have such a long range...... Why did the shells from the Haw Par artillery fall from the sky... Why are the shells fired at themselves by the Haw Par Army flowering shells......

Just when the dense traitors stood in place with a stunned expression, at a loss. A new round of shells fired from the twenty-seven heavy mortars of the artillery battalion had already appeared above them on their heels.

The shells landed with a whistling sound and exploded one after the other ....

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of traitors fell heavily in a pool of blood with a desperate expression before they died.

At this time, the remaining rebels on the walls finally stopped standing in place, but let out a cry of terror, and began to scurry around the walls, dodging the flowering bombs from overhead.

However, to their despair, what they thought was a very effective means of evasion was not only ineffective in the face of mortars, whose main means of killing the enemy was the fragmentation of an artillery shell, but only increased their losses.

When all the 10 rounds of shells fired by the Haw Par Army landed on the city wall, almost seven or eight hundred corpses in various postures and even limbs were blown off and mutilated on the city wall in front of them.

Wu Jingtian, the commander of the traitors, had just replied to the yamen that he had not yet had a cup of tea, and he had to hurry to the city gate again because of the constant sound of cannons from the city wall.

By the time they had climbed the walls, the roaring cannons had ended.

In front of them, there were nothing but corpses everywhere. It's just a twinkle in the eyes. There were even subordinates with frightened expressions on their faces......

Can't help but gasp after a breath. He exclaimed to the military advisor and the artillery commander behind him: "What kind of artillery is this, it has such great power... In such a short period of time, it has brought us so many casualties......"

Under Wu Jingtian's questioning, the artillery commander rushed directly to the city wall full of corpses. Then, grabbing a few musketeers whose bodies were still trembling, he shouted, "Sue me, what happened here just now, why so many brothers died." Tell me all that you see. Right now..."

In a few trembling answers, the artillery commander finally figured out the basic situation of the mortar.

After taking a deep breath, he reported to Wu Jingtian in his voice full of shock: "Dashuai... Although the last general does not want to admit it, this new type of artillery of the official army has far surpassed our artillery in terms of power..."

"According to the understanding of the last general, this kind of artillery can be fired in a curved way, that is, to hit us from above... Second, the range of this artillery far exceeds ours....third. The shells fired by such artillery were flowering, not solid. ”

"Under the fire of such artillery. If we do not have the necessary means of defense, it is absolutely inevitable that we will lose so many troops at one time ...."

Although Wu Jingtian's heart was full of anger, he still saw a glimmer of hope in the answer of the artillery commander.

As soon as the artillery commander finished speaking, Wu Jingtian asked with a face full of urgency: "Defensive means, do you mean that we can defend against this new type of artillery of the Tiger and Leopard Army..."

The artillery commander nodded and replied: "Yes, the commander....as long as the means of defense are reduced, the losses of the brothers can be reduced by at least fifty percent......"

"The last general just took a look at the bodies of his brothers who died in battle....their deaths were basically caused by fragments of artillery shells. As long as we can dodge the fragments created by the explosion of the shell, and the brothers who are a little farther away from the impact point of the shell, we can dodge the attack of the flowering shell..."

"The most basic way of this defense is to lie on the ground....after the artillery units of the Haw Par Army start attacking us, as long as the brothers lie on the ground, the losses can be reduced to a minimum.......

At this time, a musketeer commander standing beside him suddenly spoke: "Commander, you must not lie on the ground..."

"To keep the Haw-Par Army from approaching the walls outside the city, our musketeers must shoot a steady stream of lead bullets... However, once the brothers are lying on the ground, they cannot reload the muskets, and there is no way to shoot lead bullets outward..."

"At that time, even if we dodge the attack of the Haw Par Army's flowering bombs, the Haw Par Army, which is not blocked by lead bullets, will easily rush to the corner of the city wall and use explosives to blow up a siege gap in the city wall we are holding..."

Hearing this, the hope that had just surged up on Wu Jingtian's face was replaced by anger again. didn't care about his identity as a handsome man, and shouted loudly with a face full of anger.

"This is not good, that is not good......are we just watching our brothers die in the explosion of the flowering bomb..."

At this time, the military advisor, who had not spoken, spoke.

"Sir, students here's a way to block the fragments from the explosion of the flowering bomb."

Wu Jingtian seemed to suddenly grasp a life-saving straw, and asked eagerly at the military advisor: "Military advisor, what is the solution..."

"The ...... of the wall" replied under the gaze of a pair of puzzled eyes....

"The student just took a look at it, and although the power of the flowering bomb is great, it is not big enough to blow up the wall battlement. The fragments from the explosion of the flowering bomb are all embedded in the battlements, and if you look carefully, you can see ...."

"Since there is no way to blow up the battlements, let's separate the walls without any obstacles little by little with the battlements... - of course, the battlements don't need to be too high, just two feet, but they must be dense..."

"After the flowering bullets fired by the Haw Par Army fall in these spaces separated by battlements, the most killing and injuring brothers located in this battlement space will be lost due to the obstruction of these low walls around them..."

"Good way..."Others don't understand what the military advisor said, but the artillery commander who has a certain understanding of flowering shells is a little thorough.

Under Wu Jingtian's gaze, he affirmed loudly: "The height of two feet is too low, it is better to be three feet....In addition, the height of three feet does not affect the vision of the brothers on the city wall." As long as we leave enough gaps in these low walls, the brothers who defend the walls can still send reinforcements everywhere on the walls......"

A smile just appeared on Wu Jingtian's face, but he was replaced by a trace of worry, and asked the military division and artillery commander: "Although the idea is good, how can we build so many low walls on the city wall in a short period of time, under the noses of the officers and soldiers...... Besides, can the new wall being built now withstand the bombardment of flowering bombs..." (To be continued......)
