"Hold it down! Hold it down! Don't fire the guns, the guns wait for my orders before firing!" Qian Qi ordered loudly, and then couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, "Grass! The current bandits occasionally go to war! ”

Although he was a little disdainful of laying down the county seat of Ningling, Gao Yingxiang still commanded very clearly. First of all, there were three or four hundred veterans with bows and arrows, pushing carts to cover thousands of homeless people with sacks full of sand and gravel to fill the moat without water.

The bullets of the fire gun could not penetrate the thick planks in front of the car. At this time, there were only six one-pound artillery pieces and tiger squat cannons in Ningling County. To be on the safe side, Qian Qi also transferred two artillery pieces behind the second city wall. So at this time, on this city wall, there were only two artillery pieces that could deal with the peasant rebels.

Seeing that the truck had entered about three hundred steps, Qian Qi ordered loudly: "Launch!" ”

With a loud roar, two iron bullets were fired. However, the two shells did not shoot very well. The first shot did not hit the truck at all, but jumped on the ground four or five times according to inertia, taking the lives of three unlucky peasant rebel soldiers.

In the winter fields, the snow is already very thick, and the thick layer of snow acts as a very good buffer, reducing the power of the ricochet of the solid cannonball a lot.

The other shot was slightly better, hitting the corner of the thick plank of a masturbation truck, making the people behind the masturbation very busy, but the casualties caused were negligible.

If it were an ordinary bandit, even those two shells could make them chaotic. But after all, the people pushing the cart were all veterans from the three sides, and they just shouted: "Push the cart quickly!" Trolley! "It is to speed up the speed of the cart, and want to push the cart closer to the city wall earlier, into the dead corner of the artillery, so that the artillery can no longer threaten them.

The artillery fired two more rounds. This time, the artillery with the corrected firing angle caused some casualties to the peasant rebels. Two trucks were shattered, and ricochets took more than two dozen lives. However, after two rounds of firing, the wagon had already entered eighty paces, and the artillery on the city wall was powerless against the peasant rebels who had entered the dead end.

However, at this time, the peasant rebels also came within range of the firearms. Under Qian Qi's orders, more than fifty firecrackers began the first salvo. But the effect of this shot was quite poor, and the bullets were basically blocked by the thick wooden planks in front of the truck. Seeing this, Qian Qi could only order loudly: "Stop shooting!" Stop shooting! ”

In any case, if you want to attack the city wall, you must fill the moat. As long as the peasant rebels were left without the cover of the wagons when filling the moat, the guns could still inflict a large number of casualties on them. There is not much ammunition in the city, so Qian Qi still has to save some money.

The truck gradually pushed to a distance of about ten paces from the moat. Both sides know that success or failure is a matter of success. So the soldiers on both sides held their breath and waited for this decisive moment to come. The air on the entire battlefield also seemed to freeze.

The atmosphere was broken by one of the leaders of the peasant rebels, who, at the shout of his shout, jumped out of the cart with bows and arrows, and shot rows of arrows at the city walls. Caught off guard. Several soldiers of the Runing Army were shot dead and wounded.

But after being prepared, the soldiers immediately bowed down with cats. Hiding behind the battlements and observing. And under the protection of shields and armor, casualties did not continue to expand.

However, the peasant rebels had also achieved their goal, and they had suppressed the musketeers on the walls with their bows and arrows. Therefore, the displaced people who were fighting the sandbags on their shoulders shouted together, and began to run desperately over the truck and throw the sandbags into the moat.

These displaced people who dared to fill the river were voluntary. At that time, Gao Yingxiang only gave them a full meal, and promised to let these homeless people enter the city first to loot, and select the brave ones to enter the old camp that broke into the camp. It attracted tens of thousands of displaced people to sign up.

Gao Yingxiang was only able to pick these thousands of relatively robust ones. Of course, if these homeless people don't listen to orders, there will also be a team of overseers who break into the old camp behind them. But the hunger and fear of these displaced people were absolutely demoralized, and even the casualties caused by the previous artillery fire did not give them any fear.

And this time it was only a few dozen steps. Throw a bag of sand and gravel! If you run over, you can live better, and if you can't get by, you won't have to live that hard life anymore, so you have to fight anyway.

And the firecrackers who had been prepared on the city wall immediately stepped forward and fired another volley under Qian Qi's order. But the effect of this shooting was still very poor, with the cover of sandbags on their backs, and few homeless people were hit by bullets. Instead, some of the archers of the peasant rebel army were knocked down by bullets, so that the archers hurriedly hid behind the wagons again.

"Don't be stunned! Get ready! Fire! Qian Qi ordered loudly.

Because the effect of the two shots was very poor, the musketeers were a little hesitant. However, after hearing Qian Qi's order, they all took the guns in the hands of the soldiers in charge of loading ammunition in the back row, stood up, and fired a salvo again.

Unexpectedly, the effect of this shot was quite amazing, because those homeless people had already thrown sandbags into the moat and were running back with their backs to the city wall, so the volley of more than fifty firecrackers immediately took the lives of more than thirty defenseless homeless people.

Seeing the play, Qian Qi was very excited. He immediately shouted, "Attention! Don't shoot them when they come, just hit them in the back. Listen to me! Call the rest of the Musketeers here, too! ”

This time, the soldiers brought into Ningling County by Qian Qi had more than 150 firecrackers in their hands. Because he saw that the peasant rebels were mainly attacking the western city wall, Qian Qi arranged a hundred firecrackers here, and the rest were distributed on other city walls.

However, in this situation, the moat outside the other walls was not filled by the peasant rebels, and the other three walls would not be attacked for the time being. So don't waste long-range firepower, and transfer them here for the time being.

The Runing Army, having mastered the law, began to harvest life. Each shot knocked out more than two dozen outcasts. And because the musketeers all had shieldmen to cover them, the archers of the peasant rebels were basically no longer a threat.

And under the constant blows, the displaced people who fill the moat are somewhat chaotic. Some of the displaced people are a little shrunken. Gao Yingxiang, who was standing behind the command, had a somewhat unsightly face, so he immediately said a few words to the soldiers around him.

The pro-soldier immediately rode to the old battalion soldiers in front of him to pass Gao Yingxiang's order, and those soldiers who supervised the war immediately took action, and stepped forward to face the homeless people who were cowering. Under the threat of death, the displaced people resisted sandbags and continued to fill the river. (To be continued......)
