Chapter Forty-Six: Crashing the Iron Gate

And here there are people who are starting to assemble cannons, and they are all in exchange for their comrades' lives, covering them, so that they can rush here.

After all, they are artillerymen, they can shoot artillery, and they can quickly assemble Hongyi cannons. In order to cover them, the comrades-in-arms had only one wish before they died - to blast open the door of the Manchu Qing Dynasty raised by dogs and wolves!

Only the largest cannon chamber of the target remains! This would have been difficult to do without a breech.

They're waiting for the cannon chamber to arrive! Are you going to roll the barrels here? When you roll in, the Hongyi cannons in the city may fire in unison!

However, since Zhang Jun dared to make such a bold move, all the bird gunners and archers were ready to suppress the city with never-ending firepower.

Of course, there is also a ceasefire of artillery in the distance, for a long time, just waiting! Waiting for this moment! All this can only be required, the gunner can quickly assemble the Hongyi cannon, and make his way to the big iron gate that is close at hand!

And this time, Qing Bing felt strange again, what are you doing? A large group of warriors with pots on their backs rushed over, and they rushed with halberds and sticks!

They can't help but be on fire, attacking the city, you are still carrying a big iron pot, it can be described as the first of its kind! How useful can you do that? How stupid!

Therefore, the Qing soldiers don't care much about these Zhang Bing who are carrying the pot on their backs, and in the near future, they will pay a terrible price for this!

Good! Now it's time for the man who transports the breech to arrive. This is not! Here it comes!

"Get out!" It was the cavalrymen who were not afraid of death again, they came with a barrel in tow, and there was a cannon chamber in the barrel, and they lined up on the ground. With overwhelming momentum, it is coming towards Shenyang.

"Fire!" The city shouted again. Artillery fire is rumbling! But the city's cannons had been firing for a long time. It is precisely in this way that Zhang Jun dares to use such a crazy method!

The artillery of the Qing army could not support it for long, no, there were exploding chambers, and there were dumb fires.

At this time, the cannons on Zhang's position were fired at the same time, and they were fired into the city at once, so lively. The Qing soldiers in the city were crying for their fathers and mothers, and some people gave you a bird for free and sent you to fly into the sky!

"Shoot!" The roar under the city, followed by the "trumpet" gunshots, the bird guns and the three-eyed guns all opened fire in unison, and then there was the sound of "Xiu Xiu Xiu" arrows, and the arrows flew towards the city like rain!

Suddenly the city was full of arrows, and the rain of arrows did not stop! The bullets rained down even more. Even though the arrows rained down and the bullets flew like a forest, the soldiers still clamored and climbed forward towards the city. Even if they were accidentally injured by their own arrows and bullets, they were killed by mistake. They don't care either!

All they want is to trade their lives for victory! They all fought one by two! It is really as feared, roared, and feared by the Qing soldiers.

Lose your marbles! It's all crazy! They are facing an army as strong and invincible as a madman! Why is there such an army of madmen in the world? It's horrible!

No, one by one, the people who climbed the ladder were hit by stray bullets and stray arrows, screaming and falling down. Obviously, someone has become a tragedy in front of them, but there are still people who come forward without changing their minds.

"Everyone, be careful! The barbarians have landed in the city! They're all crazy! Obviously, their own artillery fire is like a tide! Arrows rain down on the forest, but they still have to go to the city! ”

Yes! There was a soldier who flew up to the city, after all, most of the Qing soldiers were suppressed, and he waved the battle flag vigorously, which was a signal to his comrades, everyone come up!

At this moment, he became an obvious target, and he was naturally greeted by the Qing soldiers. "Whoosh" Many arrows were shot into his body, and he was still standing, holding the battle flag.

"Stop the Nanban from ascending the city!" The Qing soldiers shouted, and they personally braved artillery fire and arrow rain to stop the Zhang soldiers from landing in the city, and this battle became extremely fierce.

At this moment, a Qing soldier waved his head, and he saw that there seemed to be something propped up under the corpse to form a kind of shield, making it difficult for people to find.

They're doing bad things there! It's to assemble it into an iron cannon! "Cannon!" As soon as his voice shouted, someone had already paid attention to him, and the two gunshots of "Bang Bang", plus three arrow feathers flew into his body, and there was no doubt that he was killed on the spot. Just in time, another bombardment came, and the rubble on the city was billowing down.

I thought that the enemy would not find out what he was shouting about, of course, this is self-deception, but in fact, others have heard it, and others are just looking sideways! They're going to see what happens.

Not to mention, their eyes were quite good, and when they saw it, they shouted, "Look, everyone! Someone's funny down there! Kill them! ”

This time, the cannon wanted to come. Of course, Zhang Jun will never let them succeed, and now they are suppressing bursts of artillery fire, and they will not let you raise your head.

And the people below also know that they have to race against time, they will not delay, many of them are divided and cooperated with each other, and in just a while, they are completed and the cannon is set up.

Immediately someone was ready, the ammunition, including the ignition, was all ready, just waiting for the cannon to say that it could be fired, that is, the long-awaited moment could be realized!

Push the corpse away so that the muzzle of the cannon is pointed straight at the iron door! Right! And move the cannon a little further.

And at this moment, a cannon was going off not far from them! This is because the Qing army found out about them, and if they didn't fire their artillery, they bombarded them, so what could they do?

It's just that when a cannon hits the city, then there are too many cannons to fight back under the city, and Zhang Jun's gunners are almost crazy to open fire, resolutely not allowing you to attack the city below. If you shoot one shot, you will have to pay back three, five, or even ten shots!

The gunners, who were in the pile of corpses near the city gate, naturally knew what to say, and they moved the cannon forward for some distance, and they didn't think much about it, and immediately opened fire.

"Boom", the big iron gate can't bear it, and it shatters! And I saw that more than this Hongyi cannon was shelling towards the city gate!

There are also some earthen cannons. What is an earthen cannon? It's the people who carry the iron pot on their backs, they're going to use it now, they're in a clean place, yes! The body had to be removed, then a pit had to be dug and the pot had to be buried in it.

On top of the pot, there is a bomb, and there is a bullet mechanism at the bottom, such as a spring or something, or by pulling the rope, using potential energy elasticity, the cannonball is ejected, the disadvantage of this thing is that the hit rate is too low, and the range is too short.

But no matter what, the Qing soldiers didn't care and looked down on these iron pot soldiers, but they didn't expect that they could play such a role.

They didn't have to shoot far, they just had to blast all the way to the iron gate, and blow up all the sandbags that were piled up outside, and blow up a gap so that the army could rush in, and that was the greatest victory.

After the artillery bombarded one shot, they were not satisfied, and wanted to bomb one more shot, so they naturally started quickly, and they didn't know that once they bombarded the iron gate, they would become the target of the public, and they would be focused on by the other party, Rao was so, and they didn't care at all.

It's still a bombardment, the gate has already been smashed, and now if this cannon is added, it will naturally be no longer able to support it, and it will be a mess, and the sandbags will also fall apart a little later!

Notch! A big gap is visible! March to this gap! Just get through this gap and victory is in sight!

At this time, the gunners were naturally greeted by the Qing army in the city, and two shells fell on their heads, when they fired the second shell.

"Boom! Rumble! Under the sound of a series of explosions, they all died heroically in desperation. Even so, it will be difficult to save the defeat of the Qing army.

"Gap! Everyone poured in through the gap! The brethren cannot be allowed to die in vain! Someone shouted loudly, and naturally someone else followed and rushed in.

The gap was bombarded by the earth cannon a few times, and it was invisibly increasing, how did the Manchu Qing Dynasty fill this big gap?

Zhang's soldiers are rushing in, and the city is under heavy artillery fire! If you want to stop them, you have more than enough heart but not enough power.

As soon as Zhang Biwu saw that the gap was opened, he jumped up excitedly, and he shouted: "Okay! Great! Open the city gate of Shenyang! We are about to recover Shenyang! ”

The joy on his face, no matter what it was, could not make him remove the joy from his heart!

He also wanted to go into battle in person, but the people around him wouldn't let him go, and the people around him signaled that Zhang Biwu was still a little calm and in a hurry, and stayed here to wait for the good news of breaking the city.

Zhang Jun is only attacking the outer city now, even if they attack the outer city and occupy the inner city, it cannot be said that the victory belongs to them.

They still had to march to the inner city, and they had to fight street battles, and of course, they still had to attack the Manchu palace in Shenyang. But one thing is certain, the imperial palace in Shenyang will not be as big as the imperial palace in Beijing, and the scale of Shenyang will naturally not keep up with Beijing.

To break through Shenyang, there will not be much difficulty. As long as the outer city is broken and the Qing army is forced to retreat into the inner city, it is not a matter of course to break the inner city, right?

It's just that now the Qing army is still dying! They were organizing people to drive Zhang Jun out of the city, Zhang Jun was going to die in the city, and they resolutely did not take a step back.

On the city wall of Shenyang City, you can see ladders erected, and the soldiers are climbing the ladders to move forward bravely, and they climb very fast, one or two, three, like a torrent rushing into the city. (To be continued......)
