At this time, in a valley twenty miles away from Shanhaiguan, 30,000 armor soldiers and 20,000 Heaven and Earth Sect members gathered here. An autumn wind enveloped it.

In the central camp, Fang Haoran sat in the main seat, Long Er sat beside him, and the hall masters below sat in columns. The one-armed Shenni is not here, and because Fang Haoran deliberately did it, the one-armed Shenni has gradually withdrawn from the inner circle of the force.

"Hall Master Zhou, have you found out the situation in Shanhaiguan?"

Lord Zhou nodded and said: "Tell the chief helmsman, according to our investigation, there are 5,000 defenders in Shanhaiguan, the art of war is cloudy, the siege of the city is three times the siege, ten times the attack, although we have 50,000 soldiers and horses, but the training time is too little, the combat power is insufficient, I am afraid that there will be heavy casualties if you attack, I suggest sending a few good men into the city, lighting a fire at night to make chaos, the inside should be combined with the outside, we will take advantage of the chaos to kill in." ”

Night attacks are indeed a common strategy used by soldiers, but the Shenlong army uses muskets, and the night is not as lethal as the day.

Fang Haoran said with a smile: "Why bother, pass the order, and after half an hour, go to Shanhaiguan to attack the city." ”

"Chief helmsman, don't be careless!" said Hall Master Zhou hurriedly.

"Don't worry, I'll let you watch a good show later!"

Fang Haoran waved his hand, looked at the person sitting down, and asked, "Wang Cannon, give you an hour, can you knock on the gate of Shanhaiguan?"

The man was in his fifties, with a dark complexion, like a blacksmith who spends his days by the fire. He was indeed a blacksmith, but not an ordinary blacksmith, but a cannon blacksmith. Everyone doesn't remember what the name of Wang Cannon really is, but they only know that his ancestors helped the Ming army cast a red-coated cannon, and he himself used to be an artillery soldier in the Ming army.

Fang Haoran purchased the equipment of an artillery regiment from the Republic of China, but it was not easy to teach a group of peasants to shoot artillery, fortunately he recruited a Wang cannon, although Wang Cannon did not use the mountain artillery of later generations, but the basic principle of fighting artillery is the same, Wang Cannon quickly got started with mountain artillery, and Fang Haoran made him the head of the artillery regiment.

Seeing that a task had been assigned, Wang Cannon knew that this was a good opportunity to make a contribution, and said excitedly: "Sect Master, don't worry, it won't take an hour, at most half an hour I can smash Shanhaiguan!"

"Okay, it's up to you!" Fang Haoran waved his hand, and Wang Cannon hurriedly pushed it down to prepare.

At this time, Xiong Jinfeng stepped forward and said: "Chief helmsman, the terrain of Shanhaiguan is dangerous, and we can't afford to attack the city!" In his opinion, that Wang cannon must be bragging, and people speak of a cannon as his name. Half an hour to conquer Shanhaiguan? Unless the sky falls!

Fang Haoran laughed and said: "How can I joke about the big things of the soldiers? you all go back and get ready, and when the city is broken, you will catch more prisoners for me, and you are not allowed to let anyone go!"

Everyone was puzzled, but they also knew that Fang Haoran was probably not joking, so they went back to prepare.

On the tower of Shanhaiguan City, a military general wearing a white flag cloth cotton iron armor and a horse chopping knife in his hand observed what was going on.

At this time, a sentry ran over, knelt on the ground, and said, "Tell the chief soldier that a large army of tens of thousands has been found in the south of the city, and it has marched ten miles away. ”

"I've seen it all, and when you come to report that any food is cold!" the general soldier said lightly, "Get ready for battle, prepare all the ammunition for the red-coated cannon, and give me a damn bomb when they get close!"

"Yes!"

The Shanhaiguan began to move rapidly, all kinds of equipment for defending the city: stones, logs, bows and arrows, etc., were all transported to the city wall, bonfires were lit, iron pots were placed, and pots of hot oil were soon boiling.

Through the binoculars, you can see that the incoming soldiers stopped when they walked about eight miles away from Shanhaiguan, and then saw hundreds of things similar to Furlong cannons launched in the columns of troops.

"What are they going to do? Could it be that they are planning to shoot at us from eight miles away?"

At this time, he saw a person in the telescope waving the command flag in his hand.

Boom Boom!

Hundreds of mountain cannons fired in unison, and the thunder shook and resounded for hundreds of miles.

The chief soldier of the white flag mocked: "Even the most powerful red-clothed cannon in our Qing Dynasty has a range of no more than five miles, and even their big cannons still want to hit here? Before the words fell, a sharp sonic boom suddenly sounded in the sky.

The Qing soldiers looked up one after another, only to see hundreds of white lines in the sky generated by the sonic boom flying towards this side with a long tail of qi waves, and in the blink of an eye, they were close to the sky above the city tower.

How is this possible? How can artillery from eight miles away hit here?

The crowd lost their voices in disbelief.

"Squat!," shouted the experienced veteran.

The general soldier of the white flag stood stupidly in place, his face full of disbelief, and muttered in his mouth: "This is impossible, how can there be a cannon that hits eight miles away?"

Rumble!

One ran to his side and landed beside him, and the powerful explosion set off a huge wave of qi that tore him to shreds in an instant.

At this time, no one noticed that the general soldier was dead, because hundreds of shells fired in unison, instantly destroying the city wall dozens of zhang long.

The huge wave of air swept hundreds of Qing soldiers away, and countless debris flew in the air, and a Qing soldier hiding in the distance ran into the distance in horror when he saw this scene, but his head was shattered by a gravel flying behind him.

More than a dozen shells fell on the city tower and the city wall, blowing down more than 20 zhang of the city wall, and scattered countless broken limbs and corpses in the ruins. More shells flew into the city, and I don't know how many houses were destroyed, only to see the city filled with smoke and fire, and countless screams and weepings of terror were heard.

Eight miles away, the hall masters of the Heaven and Earth Society saw this scene with telescopes, and they were all dumbfounded, and even their jaws almost fell to the ground.

Xiong Jinfeng swallowed his saliva fiercely, turned his head with difficulty to look at the artillery regiment not far away, and said, "I'm a mother, what the hell is this?"

The others were all speechless in shock, at this time they knew why Fang Haoran would hand over the task of attacking the city to Wang Cannon, as long as they took these hundreds of cannons and bombarded them for a few more rounds, it was estimated that Shanhaiguan would be razed to the ground!

Wang Dacang proudly smiled at the group of hall masters of the Heaven and Earth Society, and then turned his head to the other party Haoran and said: "Sect Master, it seems that the subordinates have miscalculated, it won't take half an hour, after a stick of incense, you can send someone to clean up the mess." ”

Fang Haoran patted him on the shoulder, and laughed: "After the city is broken, you will be credited!"
