The artillery of the peasant army finally fired, and Liu Zongmin, as the first fierce general of the peasant army, was not a person who had lost his name.

Since arriving in Zhuxian Town, Liu Zongmin has been driving the cannon fodder army to attack the fortifications, and even did not hesitate to force the unarmed people to the battlefield, not just to consume the medicine and arrows of the Jingbei Army, but to confuse the Qinglong back defenders, creating the illusion that he did not carry heavy offensive weapons.

The peasant army was not good at the use of firearms, but after Li Zicheng successively defeated Fu Zonglong and Wang Qiao, the governors of the five provinces, he captured a large number of guns and artillery, and forced down a considerable number of artillery and guns of the Ming army, which was also Li Zicheng's confidence in daring to storm Luoyang and Kaifeng.

Although Liu Zongmin came on light horseback, he also carried 300 large and small artillery, and after seeing the people rushing to the edge of the trench, the peasant artillery concentrated in the middle of the road was finally put into battle.

As if they didn't need money, the cannons roared into the defense line of the Jingbei Army, and the antlers, watchtowers, and arrow towers deployed on the posts were suddenly destroyed by countless artillery fire.

"Click, click, click......!"

Between the roar of iron bullets, the keels of the two wooden watchtowers were directly penetrated by the cannons, and the entire watchtower collapsed with a bang, and more than a dozen officers and soldiers deployed on the watchtowers fell down from the platform on the upper floor like dumplings, and a few unlucky people were hit by the broken keels on the spot and penetrated their heads, and splashed blood and brains were splashed everywhere.

Not only the fortifications were shelled, but the artillery positions of the Jingbei Army in the central defense line were also taken care of by the artillery fire of the Shun Army.

The two-zhang high earthen hill obviously could not block the artillery fire of the Shun army, and the artillery ercanners on the posts lost more than 30 men in only three rounds under the sudden shelling of the Shun army, and dozens of officers and soldiers who were loading medicine and preparing to open artillery were left without bones under the fierce artillery fire of the Shun army.

The dense artillery even detonated a powder magazine on the earthen hill, and the strong explosion blew up the area around the powder magazine for more than ten zhang into a flat ground, and the bones of more than 200 Jingbei Army soldiers and people who were responsible for carrying gunpowder and artillery were blown up, and several thousand-pound general cannons were washed down the fort by the violent shock wave, and then rolled down the trench from the post with a bang.

"Quick...... Quickly hide behind cover for Lao Tzu, where is our cannon? Give Lao Tzu the artillery position of the thief. ”

Liu Guoneng, the general of the new second town guarding the defense line of Qinglongbei Middle Road, obviously did not expect Liu Zongmin to be so tolerant, and would rather kill and wound nearly 20,000 people than take out artillery, so that he and Wang Zhong both made a mistake in judgment and thought that Liu Zongmin did not carry artillery.

Fortunately, the accuracy of artillery in this era was not high, and although the artillery positions of the Jingbei Army were covered by the fire of the Shun army, a large number of artillery pieces were still preserved.

Under the officer's order, one heavy artillery readjusted its muzzle and fired at the direction from which the cannon was fired.

In front of the position of the Qinglong Beizhong Army, the artillery of the Shun Army and the artillery of the Jingbei Army were smashed, and countless flying iron bullets whistled back and forth.

The artillery battle attracted a lot of firepower from the Jingbei Army, and the people who were advancing with the soil suddenly felt loosened in front of them, and the dense firepower of Shicai actually became sparse, and they hurriedly picked up their pockets and rushed forward frantically, they wanted to take this opportunity to quickly throw their pockets into the ditch, and then stay away from this damn battlefield.

"General Liu, the opportunity has come."

Seeing more and more people rushing to the ditch, Gu Junen smiled strangely and pointed at the people who were trying their best to throw sacks.

"You mean, push them all into the ditch? Well, this is a good idea, if you capture the back of the green dragon, I will definitely ask for credit for you in front of King Chuang. ”

Liu Zongmin knew the meaning of elegance when he heard the string song, and he was accustomed to driving cannon fodder to attack cities and plundering land, so he naturally knew what Gu Junen wanted to say.

"Boom, boom, boom......!"

The breakthrough was in sight, and the artillery of the Shun army hit more fiercely, even if the artillery did not distinguish between the enemy and me, and fell into the trench in front of the earthen hill.

More than 10,000 elite soldiers of the Shun army, together with more than 10,000 cannon fodder troops adapted from the common people and the Ming army, roared and rushed to the back of the green dragon under the guidance of drums and military flags.

The brave men who rushed to the front and drank the Zhuangxing wine before the battle, each of them was a young man dressed in double armor, but at this time he did not put on his armor, but kept moving forward at a uniform speed.

Behind them, followed by a group of peasant armoured peasants with iron armor on their backs, before entering the range of the official army, these peasant armies would come forward to put on armor for those who dared to die, and then these elite soldiers in iron armor would roar with long knives and rush towards the people who were filling in the trenches.

Countless civilians were forced or led by the Qing soldiers who were in the middle of the mixture to continue to rush towards the trenches below the slope, and behind them, thousands of civilians kept moving the piled up corpses away to clear a road that was flat enough for the elite of the Shun army to attack and advance.

In order to open up the passage to attack the Qinglongbei defense line as soon as possible, the remnants of more than 1,000 people rushed up to the Shun army ruthlessly pushed into the trench, and those elite Shun troops dressed in double armor stepped on the passages piled up by the living people, rushing towards the gentle slope of about 45 degrees on the back of the green dragon.

One by one, the cannon fodder army with big shields was ahead of the elite of the Shun army, and began to bury their heads in cleaning up the sharp piles and thistles on the slope.

On the gentle slope, the cannon fodder army team mixed with the elite of the Shun army lined up a black line, and due to the number of attacks, the sound of the Jingbei army became more and more sparse.

On the contrary, the sound of the Shun army filling in the trenches is getting denser and denser, and the Shun army's firecrackers are all adapted from the Ming army, and they are the new force that has just entered the combat state, although the weapons in their hands are varied, from ordinary firecrackers to three-eyed guns and bowls, but they have played intensive firepower.

Liu Zongmin is very studious, and after seven consecutive days of attacking the fortifications, he has a clear understanding of the Jingbei Army's firearm shooting tactics, and under his orders, more than 3,000 Shun troops are divided into more than 10 units, with 100 to 300 people as a group, and they continue to put guns on the defenders on the slope, until the Jingbei troops hiding behind the fortifications cannot raise their heads at all.

"Go to the tiger squat cannon and heavy fire rope, and the rest to Lao Tzu on the rolling wood."

At the time of Li Xingzhi's uprising, the first artillery he owned was the Tiger Squat Cannon, but in fact, the few artillery pieces provided by Huang Wenchang at the beginning were not Tiger Squat Cannons in the strict sense.

The real tiger squat cannon is Xu Zhijian's dog thing when he bought the head of Dongyu, he begged his brother-in-law Zhang Chao, the general soldier of Zhending, this kind of artillery is only seven or eight pounds, easy to carry, the disadvantage is that the firing range is too close, compared to the arquebus made by the Jingbei Army.

However, when the Tiger Squat Cannon attacks at close range, the scattered bullets fired are more powerful than the arquebus, so the Tiger Squat Cannon is much more affordable and convenient than the Ant-Attached Siege when dealing with the Ant-Attached Siege.

Wang Zhong guarded Henan, Luoyang and Kaifeng are the world's heroes, so Li Xingzhi succeeded in Jingnan, he instructed the Zhaoyuan Manufacturing Bureau to build more than 1,000 tiger squatting cannons for Wang Zhong's department, this time guarding Zhuxian Town, Jingbei Army is in the Qinglong back defense line arranged nearly 500 tiger squatting cannons.

Now that the situation is urgent, Wang Zhong has to sacrifice his killer weapon in advance.
