Three rounds of shells came down in a row, and only two solid shells hit the trenches.

However, the whistling shells only destroyed the wooden cover that covered the roof of the trench. Under the watchful eye of the rebel commander of the wall, the cover had just been destroyed, revealing the figure of the Haw Par Army, and then it was sealed by a new cover.

However, even so, the traitor commanders, who had no other way, had to order the artillery to continue firing solid shells outside the city, continuing this kind of counterattack that was better than nothing.

When the traitor coach Wu Jingtian walked on the city wall again. Several trenches outside the city, which were constantly being excavated, had successfully advanced to a distance of a hundred paces from the city walls.

At this time, the Haw Par Army, which had already extended the communication trench to the predetermined position, immediately stopped digging forward. Each trench was split in two and began to excavate on both sides...

On the city wall, looking at a trench slowly forming a hundred steps away, the expression on Wu Jingtian's face was not just as simple as worry.

As an old rival of the Haw Par Army, Wu Jingtian is very aware of the equipment advantages of the Haw Par Army.

At a distance of a hundred paces, the Haw Par musketeers could shoot lead bullets lightly onto the city walls. However, the brothers under his command who were holding the city wall had no way to shoot the lead bullet a hundred paces away.

In addition, the Haw Par Army has trenches to protect itself, and the lead bullets fired by the artillery, even if the range is enough, there is no way to bring much damage to the Haw Par Army. When the time comes, the brothers who stick to the city wall will fall into a situation of passive beating.

Wu Jingtian didn't dare to imagine that once this result happened, would he still have the ability to hold Baode County, and with the troops in his hands, he would kill and injure a large number of the living forces of the Tiger and Leopard Army outside the city.

So. Wu Jingtian, who frowned, roared directly at the military advisor next to him: "Military advisor." Ways must be found to get the officers and soldiers to stop digging trenches. Immediately find a way, we must not let the trench a hundred steps away be dug into ......"

The military advisor nodded and affirmed: "Marshal, there is only one way... Take the initiative to attack and strangle with the Tiger and Leopard Army outside the city, and wipe out all the soldiers they dug trenches......"

Although Wu Jingtian knew that as long as his subordinates rushed out of Baode County, they would be fiercely attacked by the Tiger and Leopard Army. However, for the sake of follow-up battles. Wu Jingtian was directly ruthless and ordered loudly.

"What are you doing then...pikemen, order the pikemen to go out of the city immediately and fight back..."

In Wu Jingtian's roar, the closed city gate was quickly opened. The traitors who used to be armed with spears rushed out of the city gates like a flood that burst the embankment. Then, while waving the weapon in his hand, he roared and rushed towards the tiger and leopard army a hundred paces away.

The artillery position of the Tiger and Par Army, two miles away from the city gate, the commander of the artillery battalion Wang, has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

The traitor pikeman at the front. Just rushed out of the city gate hole. A loud shout came out of the mouth of Camp Commander Wang....

"Artilleryman, fire it right away. Blow up all the traitors who left the city......"

More than 80 heavy mortars, all aimed at the gates of the city.

As a series of dull shelling sounded in the position, more than eighty flowering shells flew directly towards the city gate with a whistling sound.

The raindrops of flowering shells, even if only a third hit the target, that is more than twenty.

When they all gathered at the city gate, there was an explosion, and the dense fireballs that quickly rose into the air directly enveloped the city gate. As for the traitor pikemen who had just rushed out of the city gates, without exception, they were all covered in fireballs and gunsmoke.

After the first round of flowering shells exploded one after another, the second round of flowering shells had already reappeared at the city gate with a whistling sound.

Raining shells, round after round, like firecrackers, kept exploding at the city gates.

In the midst of this dense explosion, the fragments of flowering bullets formed an impenetrable steel storm directly at the city gate. As soon as the traitor musketeer rushes out of the city gates and is exposed to the steel storm, he will be swept to the ground, and his life and death are uncertain....

Dense crowds of traitorous musketeers, although a steady stream poured out of the city gates. However, few people were able to escape this storm of steel and break through the thick smoke that shrouded the city gates.

As the shelling continued, the traitors were undaunted by the onslaught of death, and a thick layer of corpses had fallen at the gates of the city.

Faced with the instantaneous loss of hundreds of soldiers, Wu Jingtian had to stop this pointless counteroffensive.

Once again, he shifted his gaze to the military advisors around him, hoping that the military advisors could relieve him from the siege.

Under Wu Jingtian's fierce gaze, the frowning military advisor had to fall into contemplation again. After a long cup of tea, he spoke: "Dashuai, there is another way......

"Although the students don't know whether the flowering shells we carried in this attack are sufficient, no matter how sufficient the flowering shells we brought, the barrels of the artillery that have been red because of the continuous firing also need to rest. Otherwise, the artillery equipped by the Haw Par Army will be in danger of exploding..."

"So, as long as we continue to put on a sign of a counteroffensive against the Haw Par Army outside the city, forcing the Haw Par Army to keep firing at us....it won't be long before their artillery will be useless...."

"When the flowering shells fired at us by the Haw Par Army become sparse, we can rush out of the city gate in one go, and strangle the Haw Par Army who are digging trenches outside the city to destroy them..."

The artillery commander standing beside Wu Jingtian had his eyes lit up, and he loudly supported: "Dashuai....I also support the idea of the military division...."

So, there was such a scene on the battlefield next....

Under the watchful eye of the commander of the Haw Par Army Artillery Battalion, the dense group of traitors was once again like a flood that broke the embankment, trying to break out of the city gate.

At this time, in order to stop the traitors who wanted to rush out of the city, Battalion Commander Wang did not hesitate to order the three artillery battalions around him to start shelling.

However, what Battalion Commander Wang did not expect was that the smoke from the explosion of the first round of flowering shells had just covered the city gate. The traitors who had just rushed out of the city gates, except for a dozen unlucky ones who were killed by flowering bullets. The remaining traitors, like frightened rabbits, quickly retracted back to the city gate.

However, the earth-shattering shouts of killing still did not mean to stop in the slightest.

In this way, Camp Commander Wang, who did not see the trajectory, could only listen to the earth-shattering shouts and kill, and ordered his subordinates to shoot round after round of flowering catapults to the city gate.

Just after the artillery battalion poured more than ten rounds of shells at the city gate in a row, an exclamation quickly sounded behind Battalion Commander Wang.

"The battalion commander....there are more than thirty gates. The mortar barrel has been beaten red....if it doesn't stop, there is a danger of exploding...."

"So fast..."Battalion Commander Wang, who heard the report, couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

Then, he wanted to order his subordinates to stop the shelling.

However, when he heard the shouts of killing at the gates of the city, which still showed no signs of abating. In order to complete the task assigned to him by the marshal Wei Zheng, he could only order ruthlessly: "If you hit the mortar with a red cannon barrel, stop firing immediately and cool down the cannon barrel... Other mortars, continuing to shell the city gates ...

After two more rounds of shelling, the number of mortars that could still be fired was again reduced from more than 50 to more than 20.

As a result, there were only a handful of seven or eight shells left that could accurately reach the city gates.

Wu Jingtian, who had been guarding the city wall, did not let go of this opportunity.

His eyes lit up, and he ordered loudly: "Order the pikemen, attack immediately, rush out of the city gate, and destroy the Tiger and Leopard Army...."

"Kill..."After the same shout of killing sounded at the city gate, the traitor who had just retreated rushed out of the city gate that had been completely covered in gunsmoke as if he had burst the embankment to control the flood.

At this time, because of the sharp decrease in the number of flowering bullets at the city gate, although some of the traitors who rushed out of the city gate were still hit by the fragments of the flowering bullets, they fell on the charging road. However, there were still more traitor pikemen than the average person, rushing out of the smoke and rushing towards the Haw Par musketeers who were digging a trench a hundred paces away.

In the face of the swarming traitor pikemen, if the Haw Par Army really proudly held their spears to meet the enemy, the hundreds of musketeers who were digging trenches would definitely be wiped out. After all, the spear in the traitor's hand is twice as long as the musket in his hand.

However, the other equipment on their bodies made their calm faces not show the slightest worry and fear when facing the traitor pikemen, but a hint of longing for battle flashed.

In the face of these traitors, they quickly threw down their shovels and picked up the flintlock muskets that had already been loaded with lead bullets around them.

After a simple aim at the traitor pikeman, he did not hesitate to pull the trigger.

After a string of gunshots like popping beans rang out, hundreds of lead bullets quickly formed a fairly dense steel storm in front of the traitor.

Under the sweep of this round of steel storm, the dozens of traitor pikemen who rushed to the front did not even say a word, and fell on the way of the charge, turning into corpses.

However, this did not stop the traitors from charging.

Because, when they went out of the city, they were ready to die outside the city.

Faced with the enemy who continued to rush towards him, the Haw Par Musketeers dropped their muskets and pulled out the grenades they had already prepared. Prepare to use a grenade to deliver a fatal blow to the traitor musketeers.

As for why they did not continue to use flintlock muskets, the reason is quite simple, they did not have time to compose a three-stage shot that was most suitable for muskets.

If you continue to use the musket to shoot at the traitors in front of you, you will still be able to shoot a round of buckshot and eliminate dozens of traitors.

However, in this way, there will be no time to prepare the grenade yourself.

After all, after these traitors rushed out of the city gates with cigarettes, they were only seventy or eighty steps away. By the time he had finished firing the first round of lead bullets, the distance between the two armies had been shortened to less than 60 paces.

When you shoot a new round of buckshot, the distance between the two armies will be shortened to less than 40 paces.

In this case, you will not have enough time to prepare the grenade, prepare the fire fold, light the grenade ...

Therefore, at this moment, they directly abandoned the musket, holding the grenade with the exposed arquebus in one hand and the fire fold that had already sparked in the other, quietly waiting for the traitor to arrive. (To be continued......)
