In addition to the sufficient amount of fire ~ medicine and great power, this city gate hole is also a weak point in the military fort, so it is not surprising that the city gate and the nearby city wall were blown away without a trace.

When the Soochow people built this military fort, many "CIA" personnel were mixed in the construction team, not only among ordinary people and craftsmen, but also among some people who were responsible for supplying materials, supervisors, and others.

The CIA people also bribed one of the designers to obtain the design drawings of the entire military fort, and they asked experts in architecture to study the drawings and find out some places where the protection was relatively weak.

Then we will find a way to arrange for our own people to be the supervisors and construction personnel of these weak points, and if you have money, you can make the devil grind, and this arrangement is still very easy for the "CIA" to do with sufficient funds for its activities.

As a result, these areas, which were already a little weak in design, were cut corners during construction, further weakening their protective performance. Now it has been blasted by a large number of explosives ~ ammunition, and it seems logical that it has collapsed a large ~ piece.

The remaining Dongwu soldiers in the military fort had just been stunned by a sudden bombardment, and most of them had not come to their senses, and then there was another earth-shattering explosion, which killed and injured many people, and the rest were all shocked to the point that their heads were stunned, and their ears could not hear anything.

Guan Suo would give them a chance to react, and immediately ordered a large army to enter the city. Unlike the traditional siege of a city with cold weapons, which often besieges the city for several months or even a year and a half, once a siege with firearms is launched, it must be made with the momentum of thunder and in one fell swoop.

The Han army had long planned to attack wave after wave, without giving the enemy time to react, in order to take the city in one fell swoop. The Keqiu killing troops, artillery, and demolition teams have just come to an end, and now it's time for the infantry to perform.

Countless infantry poured into the fort through the blasted gap. These infantry did not rush in in a haphazard manner, they were all lined up in a certain formation. Due to the lack of rattan armor to use, the composition of these infantry was different from that of several top-ranked units, such as the 1st and 2nd Divisions.

At the forefront are the shield soldiers, the shields in the hands of these shield soldiers are between the round shield and the tower shield, the shape is a bit similar to the tower shield, they are all rectangular, the size is about enough to cover a person's upper body, can protect the important organs of the human body.

These shields were a finger-thick plank of wood with a thin piece of iron nailed to the outer side and two handles on the inner side. The weight of the thing in this structure is not too heavy, and it is completely possible to hold the shield with one hand during combat, and if it is long enough, you can hold the shield with both hands ~ two handles respectively.

The reason why this shield was produced is because there is intelligence that the troops of the Eastern Wu people have been equipped with a small number of fire ~ guns, and in order to reduce the killing and wounding of these fire ~ guns to soldiers, the Han army is equipped with these iron shields in the forward troops.

The thickness of the iron sheet and the wooden board is determined by repeated trials, and at this thickness, the fire ~ gun cannot penetrate the shield with one blow, of course, if the fire ~ gun is repeatedly hit in the same position, it can still be penetrated.

Because of the lightness, neither the iron sheet nor the wooden board should be made too thick, but in short, the design concept of this shield is to make it as thin and light as possible in the event that it cannot be broken down by one blow.

The shieldmen are followed by pikemen, who are considered melee units and will stick their spears out of the gaps between them when they encounter an enemy that is close to them, stabbing them to death. Behind them are a mix of archers, crossbowmen, and fire~spearmen.

The reason for this mixed situation is that the 10th Division has just been transformed, from a cold weapon unit to a firearms unit, although it has been trained for several months, there are still some people who are used to fighting with cold weapons, which are not reflected in peacetime training, and when it comes to combat, they are all violently ~ exposed.

Before going to battle, Guan Suo said to his subordinates that this level of soldiers is used as long-range firepower, and in order to improve the efficiency of firepower output, please choose the long-range strike method that you are best at. As a result, some people abandoned the fire ~ gun that had been trained for several months and picked up the bow and arrow again.

This part of the people is basically the original archers, and they think that archery is much faster than firing ~ guns. Guan Suo has no choice, he can only let them, he also understands the reason why they do this, if you shoot arrows, these well-trained archers can shoot ~ an arrow in two or three seconds.

But in the case of fire ~ gun, it can't be completed without ten or twenty seconds of changing ammunition. On the battlefield, sometimes time is of the essence. If an enemy suddenly appears on the opposite side and aims at you, if you still slowly reload the fire ~ gun, you don't know how many times you have died, and the bow and arrow that can be fired quickly at this time are much more reliable.

Of course, archery can easily get tired, and if you shoot a few more arrows, you may no longer be able to draw the bow. But these people didn't think about it so much, besides, there are not many enemies left in the fort now, and there is no need to think too much about the problem of being easily tired.

The number of people who use crossbow arrows is relatively small, mainly because there are too few crossbow machines. These crossbow machines are horse crossbows invented by Ma Jun, which can ~ fire fifty arrows in a row. Each division has a special force, these crossbows are actually the equipment of the special forces, at this critical moment of the operation, all the crossbows of the division were requisitioned by Guan Suo to be used in the city sweeping battle.

In street battles in such complex terrain, high-speed fire suppression is important, so the role of horse crossbows is great. Behind these long-range fires were the grenadiers, who were responsible for clearing some of the bunkers.

If an enemy is hiding in some bunker and shoots cold, these grenadiers will have to find a way to throw a thunderbolt into the bunker and blow the enemy away. With such a combination, the military fort was cleared very quickly.

After the soldiers entered, they divided into many groups and cleared the general's fort piece by piece. The entire military fort had been reduced to ruins, which crushed many Eastern Wu soldiers to death, but also hindered the movement of the Han army.

The resistance of the Soochow army in the military fort was already very weak, but there were still some after all. These Eastern Wu soldiers were really equipped with fire ~ guns, and after the Han army entered the military fort, there were sporadic gunshots from time to time, and almost half of these gunshots were issued by the Eastern Wu soldiers.

At this time, the role of iron shields came into play, and fortunately, with these iron shields, the casualty rate of the Han army was greatly reduced. The fire ~ guns of the Dongwu people hit these iron shields, and they couldn't penetrate the shield at all, at most the shield-holding figure was hit vigorously, and these shield bearers were all outstanding people, and they didn't care about this impact at all.

And after the Eastern Wu fire~ gunner fired, his position was exposed~ exposed, and they had no chance to reload the second bullet at all, and they would be overwhelmed by the long-range fire of the Han army that followed. Therefore, it is basically impossible to put two shots in the same position of the same shield repeatedly.

Only a handful of hapless shield soldiers were struck in the same position by different enemies, which led to a small number of casualties among the Han army. But the number of casualties can be described as insignificant.
