The cannonballs fell on the southern city wall of Jinghai County, and the thick and strong city bricks on the wall were crushed, and after the eighteen-pound and sixteen-pound cannonballs smashed the city bricks, the rammed earth inside was also smashed out of a pit, and the broken bricks and debris were splashed, and the officers and soldiers close to the city wall screamed miserably, and the high-speed splashing of broken bricks was a sharp weapon for killing.

But no one paid attention to these dead and wounded, everyone was staring blankly at the city wall, the city gate had been bombarded and tattered, the main general Zhang Jixian was already cold at this time, he didn't care about the handsome demeanor of the general, and shouted hoarsely on the horse: "Quickly enter the city with the whole team, the thief army artillery is not so fast, take advantage of this moment to enter the city!" ”

Previously, the thief army shelled more than a dozen cannons, and there was no sound after the artillery array was defeated, which made people think that it took a long time for Zhao Jiajun's artillery to be reloaded and reset, and the interval between each round of fire was also very long.

But as soon as the words of Zhang Jixian, the chief general of the official army, fell, there was a loud roar, and the cannonballs were whistling and flying, and at this time, the officers and soldiers no longer had any order at all, the generals rode their horses first, and the soldiers scattered on their own, there was no military law to restrict, no one paid attention to others, and everyone wanted to hide away.

Although no one knows why the Xuzhou soldiers and horses just bombarded the city gate, everyone knows one thing, if the cannonball falls into the crowd, it will definitely kill and injure countless people.

By this time, no one had said anything about the "thieves" and "thieves", stronger than the official army, so much stronger than the official army, how could they be thieves, this Xuzhou people are incredible!

Everyone wants to run towards the city, everyone feels that the city is the safest, but for tens of thousands of troops, the city gate of the county is too small, the western army of the official army did not go to the city at all, but withdrew to the west, and the generals and soldiers who were not near the city gate were scattered, and now they have not completely collapsed, and the battalions and teams still maintain their formation, but they only maintain the formation and escape, and some people have already jumped off the canal that is not deep and headed towards the opposite bank.

And the soldiers near the city gate are subconsciously running towards the city gate, pushing and fighting, the upper and lower humility on weekdays has disappeared, the total was hacked to death with a knife, thousands of people were dragged off the horse, more people fell from the drawbridge into the moat, everyone felt that it was not safe outside, and when they entered the city, as long as there was a city wall to cover it, everything was worry-free!

The third round of artillery bombardment came later, and almost no one noticed that Zhao Jiajun's light cavalry had already appeared on the edge of the official army array, but even if anyone noticed, they couldn't take care of it, let alone imagine that these light cavalry were just providing corrections to the artillery back and forth, and it didn't take much time to gallop at a distance of several hundred steps.

More than a dozen shells smashed on the city gate and the city gate tower with a huge impulse, because this is the city gate, so there is no thick rammed earth to ease the impulse of the cannonballs, under this third round of shelling, it finally couldn't withstand it, and collapsed directly, completely blocking the south gate, some people were crushed to death under the city gate hole, some people were splashed to death by the splashing of rubble, and everyone was panicking and retreated.

The main general Zhang Jixian finally reacted to what the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou were going to do, they wanted to block the official army outside the city, Jinghai County did have four city gates, but it was not easy for so many people to bypass it, and the people and horses who were stuck outside could only be annihilated by the Zhao family army who had never made a big move.

But at this point, there is not much that can be done, and the main general Zhang Jixian even knows that his shouting is useless, but he can't help but shout: "Run, don't go into the city, go to Tianjin, don't enter"

The guards around Zhang Jixian have begun to kill people, all those who stand in the way are stabbed over, and they are about to rush out from the crowd of soldiers near the city gate, the guards are blocking Zhang Jixian, and they turn their heads to shout to Zhang Jixian, asking for instructions on the next movement, but Zhang Jixian did not hear it.

At this moment, there was a bigger and more roar on the side of Zhao Jiajun, there were more than a dozen cannons, and now dozens of cannons, Zhang Jixian beat the horses desperately, but the few people in front were directly knocked down and trampled by the horses' hooves, obviously they couldn't live, but no one paid attention, and the whistling sound of the cannonballs flying through the air covered up a qiē.

This time the shelling was not aimed at the city wall, but at the officers and soldiers in front of the city wall, this time it was not sixteen heavy artillery, but fifty artillery pieces were fired at the same time, the shells opened a bloody path in the crowd, and then bounced up after landing, and continued to harvest lives, dozens of shells swept by, and the dense and chaotic array of officers and soldiers suddenly became empty, which brought greater fear.

Is this artillery? This is not artillery! Officers and soldiers know what artillery is, and they have seen artillery fired, but artillery should not have such power, thunder roars, the air roars, hundreds of thousands of lives disappear, howling miserably, stumps and broken arms, scattered flesh and blood, what is this? Could it be the so-called Leifa!

The officers and soldiers under the city are all fleeing, they are all fighting and fighting, whoever stands in front of them, who blocks the way for their escape, then immediately cut it over, otherwise it is a step too late, what if the cannon comes again?

Just like in front of Shangjiazhuang, dozens of cannons from heavy to light, the first forward shot into a half-moon arc, the gunners have already hit shirtless, wipe the cannon charge and fire, each excited seems to be crazy, although they can't see the results of the shelling, but they know that this victory is achieved by them, let you what the first brigade of the personal guard brigade, the real final word, the real destruction of the city is our artillery!

After six rounds of shelling, the city wall in the south of Jinghai County has been dilapidated, collapsed in many places, but what is even worse is the ground under the city, there are no people standing, all the dead and wounded officers and soldiers, by this time, the sound of artillery is still ringing, constantly falling in the scattered crowd, but the killing of each cannon has dropped a lot compared with just now, and the formation of the officers and soldiers is not so dense.

It's just that Zhao Jiajun's attention was not to kill, the sixth round of artillery bombardment stopped, and the light cavalry began to break through to the city, but it did not kill or injure the enemy, but just approached and turned back.

"General, the artillery at the head of the city has collapsed under the city!"

"The 1st Regiment of Mounted Sergeants and each company are divided to intercept the enemy, the 1st Brigade and the 2nd Brigade all advance forward, the Suzhou Regiment enters Jinghai, the artillery regiment, you have to set up artillery at the head of Jinghai City!" Zhao Jin gave the order.

After a while, the sharp suona sound sounded one after another, the drumbeat that was not so loud shook the battlefield, the flag waved, the brigades of the Zhao family army advanced, the smoke and dust rose, the first regiment of the mounted sergeant and the mounted sergeant company attached to the brigade roared to the west, now Jinghai County can no longer be used as a fortress to hide and shelter, if the official army enters the city, it can only be gathered and annihilated, outside the city, then there are only two choices: death or surrender.

The first brigade and the second brigade began to separate, and then the formation of each brigade was separated, each regiment advanced, and the eight regiments became a horizontal line on the battlefield and pressed forward, while the Suzhou regiment turned into a column and ran in the direction of Jinghai County.

The artillery regiment was also busy in full swing, the sweaty gunners put away the gun carriage, hurriedly hung up the cattle and horses, and taught the brigade that the team was helping, the gunners were full of excitement and pride, and the brigades and regiments were in awe when they passed by, and the status on the battlefield was determined by the number of enemies killed, who could compare with the killing of this artillery regiment!

"Master, after this battle, there are more people willing to handle firearms!" Niu Jinbao couldn't help but say.

Zhao Jin just laughed, since the establishment of the Zhao Zi camp, the family members pay attention to a spear to divide the victory and defeat, and it is the bad kind that uses the firearm, and even the chief officers of each team think so, or Zhao Jin personally selects the elite and strong family members to operate the firearm to change this, but after fighting again and again, the spear in hand can often only cover the defense, and finally end forward, the real killing of the enemy is to rely on firearms, and the killing of this firearm is so sharp, people's concepts will of course change.

When looking at the infantry array of Xuzhou soldiers and horses like a stone wall pressing over, the officers and soldiers who fled and fled chaotically did not dare to go up and touch it at all, not to mention the spear jungle that looked like there was no flaw, and those fire guns and bows and arrows that followed the spear kept casting and fighting was fatal, what else did they hold at this moment, it was important to escape, run!

Only the official cavalry can really escape from this battlefield, in fact, many cavalry did not escape, the ground is full of routs running around, killing each other everywhere, and the horse may not be able to rush up, and when the Zhao Jiajun brigade presses over, there is nothing to choose, and those battalion leaders who fled in advance at the edge of the formation, how can they outrun the horse team of the Zhao family's army.

The infantry brigades and regiments can still accept surrender, and the Zhao family's army and horse team will not toss this trouble, just divide into companies, cross the battlefield, kill and kill in the fleeing crowd, and completely kill and scatter.

On the battlefield, the crying was terrible, the corpses were everywhere, the officers and troops were in rout, and the Zhao army was advancing!

At this time, the sergeants of the regiments of the 2nd Brigade were a little wolf, it was okay when the fire was fired, it was still far away at that time, and it was good when they resisted the cavalry charge, and they couldn't care too much about nervousness at that time, but now they really stepped forward, stepping on the stumps of corpses, smelling blood, and those sergeants who had been training on the barren grass all day and had not experienced the scene of life and death couldn't help it, some of them vomited directly during the march, and some couldn't help crying, and some even trembled.

Fortunately, the main team of the second brigade has participated in actual combat, they have also experienced the scene in front of them, and they have also had such an unsuitable move.

Zhao Jin gave orders one after another, but the first regiment of the pro-guard brigade was missed, and everyone around Zhao Jin was a little surprised, but it was a big crime to question the commander's military orders during the war, and no one spoke out for a while, just rushed around according to Zhao Jin's orders.
