looked at the earthen fort full of swords and guns two miles away, and looked at the subordinates who quickly gathered around him.

Zhang Zhongming, who had already made up his mind in his heart, that the earthen fort in front of him was a turtle shell, and he was going to smash him out of a hole, so he opened his mouth without thinking about it......

"Brothers, the artillery of the Tiger and Par Army, this officer won't say much...... Four words, very powerful...... As long as these artillery pieces are used intensively, it will be difficult for our siege troops to approach the walls and throw grenades into the fort......"

Seeing the solemn expressions on the faces of his subordinates, Zhang Zhongming's words suddenly turned around and continued: "Of course, compared to the Tiger and Leopard Army, we are not without advantages......

"Here, our biggest advantage is that we have more troops than the Hawpan-Par Army, and we have more musketeers than them...... If we don't take into account other factors, we will take advantage of the musket shot......"

"With the limited strength of the Haw Par Army, if we can destroy more than half of the opponent's forces in the musket fire. Then, the remaining Haw Par Army in the fort will not be able to do everything in the next battle......"

"In this way, we will have the opportunity to get close to the walls and use grenades to kill and wound them in large numbers...... Even with a grenade, blow up the city gate directly......"

"Therefore, after today's attack begins, ten thousand sword and shield men, no matter what the cost, must reduce the factors on the battlefield that may affect the musketeers to a minimum...... Cover the musketeers and shoot a large number of the living forces of the Haw Par Army......"

The half-month-long preparation of the Ganning New Army was definitely not in vain......

Zhang Zhongming gave an order, and the dense forest behind them. Hundreds of shield cars were launched.

At the same time. A wooden shield. It was also distributed to each of the sword and shield bearers.

Under the cover of night, the dense Ganning new army, like an unstoppable wave, rushed towards the earthen fort.

The shield cart took the lead, the musketeers followed, and the shield-wielding sword and shield bearers walked last, swooping down on the battlefield.

In the face of the attack, the Haw Par Army defending the earthen fort reacted immediately.

Then the musket is not able to pose a threat to the other party. Dozens of mortars, like angry lions, fired a steady stream of flowering shells around the earthen fort......

However, under the cover of night, no one knows how big the specific results of these flowering shells will be......

The only thing that made the Haw Par Army feel fortunate was that under the light of the fire generated by the explosion of the flowering bomb, the Haw Par Army in the city could clearly see that the explosion of each flowering bomb could set off one or two corpses of the soldiers of the Ganning New Army on the battlefield......

But. No matter how dense the artillery shells fired out of the city, there was no way to stop the attack of the new army in Ganning.

Soon. Outside the fort, the Ganning New Army pressed a large number of figures, and entered the vision of the Tiger and Leopard Army.

Faced with the enemy who was already close at hand, Zhang Jingchu, the commander of the first regiment, gave the order to shoot without the slightest hesitation.

For a while, the sound of gunshots like popping beans, like firecrackers, rang out in the city.

It is a pity that the dense and scorching buckshots, although with the breath of death, continue to fly towards the new army of Ganning. However, more than ninety percent of the lead bullets were blocked by shields and shield carts, embedded in thick logs.

As a result, the musketeers of the new army of Ganning, who had almost no great losses, acted as if they had not been attacked. Against the oncoming buckshots, he pushed the shield cart and continued to attack......

Soon, the arduousness of the two armies was shortened to a hundred paces. The figures of hundreds of shield vehicles also came into the field of vision of the Haw Par Army.

Facing the shield car that filled him with hatred a hundred steps away, the head of the regiment, Zhang Jingchu, was already frowning, but at this moment, the wrinkle was even deeper.

Because, the appearance of these shield carts directly tells me that the difficulty of this battle in front of me will become more and more difficult. The tide of battle will also become more and more unfavorable to you.

And at this moment, the gunfire of the new army musketeers of Gan Ning counterattacked further intensified his speculation about the battle situation......

A flash of fire rang out behind hundreds of shield carts a hundred paces away, and the deafening sound of gunfire immediately reached Zhang Jingchu's ears.

Then, several screams sounded around him.

In the direction from which the sound came, several of the musketeers had already been shot and fell to the ground. Several bloody holes in their bodies were being bubbled out......

You know, and that's just the casualties you can see...... What about the casualties that you can't see......

Because the Haw Par Army was caught off guard, they never thought that the Ganning New Army would counterattack at this time. Therefore, when they shoot lead bullets outward, they all stretch out the upper half of their bodies and stomp on them......

With such a large shooting target, isn't that a shooting target for the Ganning New Army......

So, when the first round of the Ganning New Army exceeded 1,500 buckshots, it flew towards the city with the breath of death.

Many of the Haw Par Musketeers who showed their upper bodies were hit by the whistling lead bullets before they could react.

There were four walls in total, and in the blink of an eye, almost two platoons of musketeers fell to the ground with screams......

"Oh no, the musketeers of the new army of Ganning have begun to counterattack, they are outnumbered, and they are covered by shield vehicles...... We didn't have any advantage in the shots...... The deployment must be adjusted......" Zhang Jingchu, who frowned, subconsciously let out an exclamation.

After finishing speaking, he ordered to several staff officers around him: "Pass my order...... All the musketeers, concentrate their firepower and fire at the musketeers of the new army of Ganning...... During the shooting, pay attention to concealment and do not give away your own life. ”

"Artillery, concentrate all mortars, shell the musketeers of the new army of Ganning and the shield vehicles that stand in front of them. Cover the musketeers and repel them in the shortest possible time......"

"The rest of the regiment, except for the cavalry reconnaissance company, all went to the city wall and acted as bombardiers...... As long as Gan Ning's new saber and shield hand dares to rush over, he will greet me with a grenade...... Absolutely not let them get close to the walls......"

"Cavalry reconnaissance company, prepare for a breakout...... As soon as the Ganning New Army began to retreat, it immediately broke through the earthen forts, scattered to break through, asked the division commander for help, attacked inside and outside, and wiped out all the Ganning New Army outside the fort......"

Although Zhang Jingchu's adjustment was very timely, the musketeers of Ganning's new army had an advantage in strength after all.

A steady stream of flowering bullets, though constantly falling among the musketeers, took one life after another, destroying one shield cart after another. Let a large number of Ganning new army musketeers be directly exposed to the Haw Par Army, and increase the hit rate of Haw Par Army musketeers.

However, there is no way to change this superiority in troops, at least in the short term......

The only thing that made Zhang Jingchu feel fortunate was that the soldiers under his command were protected by the city wall, and no matter what, it was impossible to be destroyed by the Ganning New Army. (To be continued......)
