"Kill!!"

The Guishun army, which was determined to die, launched another attack after being organized again. And this time the attack was obviously much more fierce than the previous one.

The ladder was soon erected on the city wall, holding shields against the arrows fired from the city, and the soldiers of the Guishun army began to climb the mountain.

On the way up, many unlucky guys were shot down, or hit by rocks thrown from the city.

Feeling the atmosphere of this more fierce offensive, the Ming army defending the city also lost their temper.

Since the enemy army does not retreat and wants to fight them to the death, then they can only fight desperately if they retreat or not. After all, now that they are defending the city, they still have a slight advantage.

"Rolling oil!"

At the head of the city, there were several large iron pots, which were full of hot oil and bubbling.

The defense of the city in the era of cold weapons, such as hot oil and rolling wood and thunder stones, all need to be prepared.

Although the security here in the capital division is lax, there will always be some of these things.

It's not that they're wary, it's just posturing.

However, at this time, these looks come in handy.

Otherwise, under the fierce offensive of the Guishun army, the Ming army defending the city would have to suffer greatly.

There were five places where the Guishun army attacked, and they were the weakest points of this section of the wall.

Four of these places are now garrisoned by the Ming army, and one is taken over by Zhao Hongyu.

Zhao Hongyu didn't know what was going on in the other four places, but he took over the garrison of this section of the city defense, but it made the Guishun army pay a great price.

A soldier of the Guishun Army who had just emerged, before he could climb up, was smashed on the top of his head by a nail-headed cone, and the hard nail-headed cone smashed this guy's heavenly spirit cover down.

Needless to say, such a heavy weapon can only be used by Europeans.

Sure enough. It was a tall mercenary who was more than 1.9 meters tall and strong.

These Portuguese mercenaries stood in a row at the battlements at the top of the city, because they were dressed in European-style full-body armor, which made them look like a steel wall.

And from time to time, the arrows that came up, after they hit their bodies, they were bounced off by the super strong armor, and there was no damage to them at all.

What I have to say here is that the defense of this kind of full-body large iron armor of the Europeans is really high. At least the archers in the surrender army under the city have nothing to do with them.

Even the sharpshooters who were hiding in it had nothing to do about it.

This European-style armor even has a visor on the face, so it can be said that there are few weaknesses on the body.

Therefore, even a marksman did not have the means to shoot them at such a distance.

Marksmen are just a title, it doesn't mean that they are really marksmen.

They were okay with the Ming soldiers in cotton armor. But there is nothing they can do about the European mercenaries who wear the same barrels as the big iron buckets.

Of course, these mercenaries in Europe are not without weaknesses.

That is, when they wear this full-body armor, their movement will be reduced.

Therefore, there is still an advantage in defending the city. If you fight in the wild, you will be miserable.

Especially when encountering an enemy with high mobility such as the Eight Banners Cavalry, they will fall into a nightmare.

It's just that at the moment they are defending the city, so there is no need to think about issues like this. And even more so behind them. There are still 300 Imperial Guards.

"Shoot!"

Bang! Bang!

The European mercenaries held the battlements, so that the Shun army attacking this part of the area could not climb up at all, but anyone who could show their heads. Most of them were smashed by the mercenaries with that heavy weapon.

And at this time, it was the turn of the Imperial soldiers to appear.

Three hundred Imperial Guards, three neatly lined lines, bright bayonets have been installed. After receiving the order, the soldiers of the first platoon walked to the front with guns and opened fire on the Guishun troops who were still charging below.

As the gunshots rang out, the soldiers of the Guishun Army, who had swarmed towards the city, were suddenly put down in a row.

"It's a firebolt! The Ming army is armed with firearms! ”

The first shot, at least a few dozen enemies were brought down.

Such an accurate head is already very good in the East in this era.

Compared with the muskets of the Europeans, the Ming Dynasty's muskets had a lower hit rate.

If the Imperial soldiers were using the guns of the Ming Dynasty, then the number of guns in the row just now would be the most that could shoot ten people.

Even then, it depends on luck.

It was also because of this hit rate that the charging Guishun army was startled.

They fought with the Manchus and the Liaodong Army, and they also saw the guns in the Ming army.

So, they are no strangers to this weapon.

Moreover, when fighting against the Liaodong Army, those Manchurian soldiers usually wore three layers of cotton armor, and they could also resist the killing and wounding of the Ming army.

Therefore, the Ming army's firearms seem to be very powerful, but in fact they are not.

But even so, it brought a lot of shock and harm to the Jurchens.

Even if it's a little less powerful, this thing can sweep through one by one if hundreds of firebolts are fired together.

If one of those unlucky people were hit in the head, they would have died instantly.

Therefore, the Manchurians made the Guishun army, and once they encountered the Ming army's firecrackers, they would always let the soldiers of the Guishun army rush up and break the Ming army's firecrackers.

So, the Guishun Army is no stranger to firecrackers at all.

After Zhao Hongyu and the others used muskets at the head of the city, the Guishun soldiers who charged below shouted loudly to inform the other companions.

The other soldiers of the Guishun Army, who had been alerted, immediately raised their shields in their hands and blocked them.

Of course, the shield has very limited defense, and who would have let it be shoddy.

But it's always better to have a shield than not to have one, isn't it?

At the same time, some of the soldiers handed over their shields to their shield-bearers in front of them, and asked them to hold two shields to defend themselves against the fire of the guns at the head of the city.

Usually. Their approach was very effective, at least against the musketeers of the Ming army in Liaodong.

These are all means of warfare that are exchanged for blood and life.

It is important to know that the Guishun army in Liaodong followed the Manchu army, and often clashed with the Liaodong army.

It can be said that they are all old people who have fought wars.

It's a pity that the Guishun army didn't know what they were doing was that what they were facing now was not the Ming army, and at the same time, the muskets of the Song Empire soldiers on the city were far better and more powerful than the guns made by the Ming Dynasty.

The guns of the Ming army. Generally, it is not possible to penetrate the three-layer cotton armor, and in addition to the process, it is also related to the fire hammer technique created.

The muskets of the Song Empire were different, and these things were purchased through the virtual world world under the guise of making 18th-century films.

Although this eighteenth-century weapon seems to be very backward, compared to the time and space of the seventeenth century, its technological content is also a century or at least sixty years ahead.

In particular, the soldiers of the Song Empire still used a linear queue, and they took turns to shoot, which greatly enhanced their power.

The soldiers of the Song Empire lined up to reach the battlement, and took advantage of the large iron barrels of European mercenaries to open the gaps exposed by their bodies. Shoot the Guishun soldiers under the city with muskets.

Not to mention the excellent Imperial muskets, the hit rate is also very high, which these are not possessed by the firearms of this era.

In a short period of time, hundreds of soldiers of the Guishun Army under the city were shot and killed. The soldiers of the surrender army were shocked.

Grandma's!

When did the Ming army have such a sophisticated firearm!

Many people's hearts have flashed such a thought.

Bang! Bang! Phew!

The gunfire showed no signs of stopping, which was completely different from when the Ming army used firearms.

Because of the long time it takes to reload, it is usually the time for the Ming army to use firearms. They fire once and then again, and there is a long gap between them.

Often this is the time when the Manchu or the Shun army charges.

They are well aware of this.

But this time was different. The musketeers at the head of the city kept firing from the battlements to the lower part of the city, and there was no sign of stopping.

When one person had finished shooting, he stepped back, and then another shot through the battlement, as if the cycle had no end.

The marksmen in the city tried to shoot the musketeers, but often their arrows were blocked by the mercenaries surrounded by iron armor.

Especially since they shoot arrows from the bottom up, which makes the aim even lower.

Faced with such a situation, the soldiers of the Shun Army were completely inferior for a while.

Zhao Hongyu's side was completely pressing the enemy opposite him, but at the city wall where the Ming army was stationed in the other four places, the situation was a little critical.

Because those Ming troops did not have the sophisticated weapons of the Song Empire soldiers, nor did they have the mentality of looking down on the Manchurians.

Especially in the face of the charge of the soldiers of the Guishun Army, who are determined to die, it is normal for them to fall into disadvantage.

"Your Highness! Let me see how powerful your weapons are, and I'll be able to go back to the business after reading them, and now that the barbarian mechanics are getting more and more fierce, I'm afraid something will go wrong. ”

The eunuch Xiaodanzi, who was hiding behind Zhao Hongyu tremblingly, opened his mouth weakly at this time.

The little guy was frightened by the bloody scene, and his face turned pale.

He'd never seen anything like this.

Those big iron bucket-like Franc machine people have opened every enemy that has come up, and even the white brains of some guys have been splashed out, and the little eggs can see it clearly.

Vomit!

When he thought of the scene he saw, the little egg felt sick to his stomach.

When Zhao Hongyu heard this, he turned his head and looked at the little eunuch with a pale face, and then thought about it.

"Grenadiers prepare! Use grenades! (To be continued......)
