Hong Chengchou led the army to arrive, that night next to the Phoenix Legion's camp to rest, the next morning to raise the tent general, later, the army poured out of the barracks like a tide, on the flat ground lined up a neat defensive phalanx, the commander, medical soldiers, artillery and other technical rear species in the middle.

The musketeers stood out in a neat formation, basically having nothing to do, and the busiest at this time was the artillery unit, which was busy setting up one hundred and thirty Franc machine guns, adjusting the elevation angle of the cannons according to the data provided by the artillery observers of the Phoenix Legion, and then began to bombard the city of Chagantehao.

Boom, boom, boom

Shells bombarded the city walls, and on the top of the city, bursting out of clouds of fire and billowing smoke, debris and shrapnel were fired, and some unlucky people who were squatting behind the battlements fell down with screams, or struggled to save them, or lay in pools of blood and convulsions, and it didn't take long for them to breathe, kick their legs, and end the painful torture.

Chagantehao City is the royal city of the northern grassland, it has been a long time, after years and the erosion of the scorching sun and wind and rain, many places have been weathered and rotten, and have been bombarded by the artillery of the Phoenix Legion for several days, there are some wall sections that have appeared one after another fine cracks, at this time it has undergone more than 100 artillery pieces of fire bombardment, after five rounds of shelling, the fine cracks gradually expanded, and finally collapsed with a bang.

A section of the city wall collapsed, and the Ming army cheered in unison, but Hong Chengchou, as the commander of the three armies, did not order an attack, but ordered the artillery to continue to open fire.

"Don't you need money for the hell of a shell?"

The golden soldiers who were curled up behind the battlements covered their ears and cursed, and they didn't attack when the city walls collapsed? The hell is still bombarding with artillery, and you don't need money for your shells?

"Ah...... Save ......"

Another section of the city wall suddenly collapsed, and the golden soldiers who were huddled behind the battlements only had time to let out a terrible howl, and they were buried by countless broken bricks and stones, and even the corpses could not be found.

"Retreat, retreat."

The city wall has collapsed in two sections, but the Ming army still did not attack, still bombarded indiscriminately with artillery, and the patriarch of Babuto, who was responsible for guarding the city of Chagantehao, guessed the intention of the opaque army, and only knew that the warriors in his department suffered a lot of losses under the crazy bombardment of the Ming army's artillery fire, and if they did not withdraw the city, they would have to suffer heavy losses.

The decisiveness of the patriarch of Babuto is extremely correct, Hong Chengchou did not order the soldiers to attack because he was not in a hurry, he came to demolish the city, I heard that the tribesmen in the city had already withdrawn Jingguang, so there was no need to sacrifice the lives of the soldiers to fight a tough battle with the Jin army, but just ordered the artillery to continue to bombard, anyway, there were many shells, and it was the first and last time to command such a large group of army groups to fight, and the results were not great, so the ancient capital of Chagantehao City was used as a punching bag.

After more than 20 rounds of indiscriminate bombardment, one hundred and thirty Franc cannons collapsed four sections of the southern city wall, and if the city of Chagantehao was a giant beast lying prone on the Horqin grassland, the collapsed four sections of the city wall were four fatal wounds on the giant beast's body, and the magic medicine could not save it.

The artillery then raised the elevation angle of the muzzle and carried out an extended bombardment, and Hong Chengchou then ordered the soldiers to attack.

Knock knock knock......

The drum sounded, and the soldiers who had been waiting impatiently for a long time stepped forward and strode forward to the beat of the drum, this is no way, the musket power, range, and rate of fire in these years are all scum, and it is impossible to launch an overwhelming charge, in case of a counter-charge by the Jin army in the city, the fun is great.

The speed of the soldiers' advance was as slow as a snail, but the Jin soldiers on the head of the city had all withdrawn, hiding in alleys or houses, intending to take advantage of the favorable terrain to fight street battles with the Ming army, even if they could not repel the Ming army, at least they could cause a lot of damage to the Ming army, so the slowly advancing Ming army did not suffer any attack.

The first echelon of the attack advanced all the way to the outside of the collapsed city wall without any attack, and the officers leading the team did not dare to rush in rashly for fear of an ambush, but ordered the soldiers to throw more than a dozen thunderbolts on each side of the broken wall, and only rushed in after indiscriminately bombing them.

"One company and one platoon cover, the second and third platoons occupy the left and right flanks, and the second and second platoons rush in and line up."

Under the command of the officers, the troops rushed into the city one after another, quickly occupying the commanding heights and favorable terrain at the head of the city, and after the troops lined up in the open space, they still did not suffer an attack, and the officers who led the team did not rush into the city in a hurry, but sent people to report the abnormal situation in the city to Hong Chengchou, and at the same time climbed to the top of the city, holding a telescope to observe the movement in the city, but unfortunately they were all blocked by houses one after another, and nothing could be seen.

Hong Chengchou, Lu Hongniang, Li Xin and others entered the city surrounded by the guards, climbed to the top of the city, and each held a monocular to observe, but they also found nothing, and the city was so quiet that people felt uneasy.

"Anyway, it's a demolition of the city, just pull the cannons in and bomb it, and then set fire to the whole city." Lu Hongniang said, her idea is very simple, and it is also very rude, since she suspects that there is an ambush, then let the artillery pull the cannon into the city, bombard it for a while, and then say, by the way, set fire to the city, it is simple and can ensure the safety of the soldiers, anyway, this royal city in the northern grassland will be demolished.

"Niangniang has a good plan, haha, just do it, hit him first." Hong Chengchou flattered, although he is the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Lu Hongniang belongs to him to control, but if Lu Hongniang does not bird him, he really has no choice, fortunately, Lu Hongniang did not embarrass him, and fully cooperated, which made him breathe a big sigh of relief, and in return, of course he would be polite.

The order was conveyed, and with the assistance of the logistical auxiliaries, the artillery pulled more than 50 Franc machine guns into the city, cleaned up the collapsed ruins a little, and then set the cannons out and bombarded the dense buildings in the city, while the soldiers cautiously stepped forward and threw the lit torches into the houses one by one, setting fire to the houses one by one.

The buildings in the city were densely packed, one after another, these buildings were all targets, and the artillerymen could hit one of the buildings with their eyes closed, and a shell that was fired out of the disembodied shell fell into the building complex, blowing up a cloud of fire and billowing smoke, although it failed to collapse the house, but the flames from the explosion ignited the building.

"Withdraw, withdraw......" the patriarch of Babuto roared in frustration, and fled out of the city in embarrassment under the escort of his own guards.

His tribe and the warriors of various tribes were ambushed in the houses, deep in the alleys and alleys, ready to hit the Ming army by surprise, grab some fine muskets and go back to show off, and when the Ming army came in more, they set fire to the city, as a result, the Ming army did not attack, but used artillery to bombard, many tribal warriors were killed and wounded, burned by the flames, many houses have been on fire, the fire is spreading rapidly with the help of the wind, and if you don't run, you have to become a roast pig, as for the street fighting, the battle plan of killing and injuring the Ming army in large numbers is all shit, and it is important to save your life.

It didn't take long for the entire city to be shrouded in sky-high flames, and the billowing smoke obscured the sky and the sun, which could be seen dozens of miles away.

At this time, Huang Taiji and other main forces were resting on the grass more than 20 miles away, waiting for the tribal warriors such as the patriarch of Babuto to withdraw, and everyone could see the billowing smoke column that went straight into the sky.

"Master Fan is clever."

Some Baylor, patriarchs, and ministers and generals who had a good relationship with Fan Wencheng gave Fan Wencheng a thumbs up and praised Fan Wencheng wildly.
