"Don't mess up, don't mess up, the gunner will shoot me."

Several rebel generals of the left and right battalions on the city wall shouted loudly.

Although the artillery bombardment of the Ming army was loud, it did not cause casualties among the officers and soldiers on the city wall.

After a period of panic, the rebels on the city walls quickly restored order under the supervision of their generals.

The artillery men opened fire one after another, and one iron cannon after another bombarded the Ming army not far away.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Iron bullets and stone bullets fell to the flat ground, smashing out one crater after another.

The rebels were not actually equipped with artillery, and Yang Yandi, Chen Shangchuan and others brought 3,000 soldiers to join the Nguyen lord in Quang Nam.

Quang Nam ordered him to scuttle the ship and go to the Dongpo area, and most of the guns on board were also abandoned.

The few pieces of artillery that were destroyed by years of conquest and attrition.

The artillery owned by the rebels on the city wall was actually the batch of Franc machine guns that Liu Yu gave to the Jiading Ming people, and there were some falcon cannons and mortar cannons purchased from European merchants such as Guangnan or Spain, and the number was not very large.

The Franc cannon is a rear-loading artillery, which has a fast rate of fire, a high target, and is also easy to carry, both offensive and defensive.

That also has an obvious drawback, which is the limited range.

The Franc cannon is a rear-loading artillery, which makes the mother gun cooperate with the sub-gun, which is limited by the technical conditions at that time, so its gun has a problem with air tightness, and its chamber pressure is much less than that of other guns.

This is also why, in the century, when the Europeans were heavily equipped with Francophone cannons, they quickly abandoned this kind of rear-loading artillery and replaced it with a front-loading gun.

For example, the famous redcoat cannon is a kind of naval artillery product when the English abandoned the post-loading artillery and changed it to the front-loading artillery.

Iron bullets and lead bullets fell to the ground.

Although Liu Yu gave Jiading Ming people 20 cannons, they were all three-pound small Francophone cannons, with a range of only one or two hundred steps.

Several other stone cannons collected from all over the world, the range of the falcon cannon was not too long.

The Ming army seems to have known the configuration of the rebel firepower on the city wall for a long time.

Deliberately multi-step distances were deployed, and shells fell one by one on the open flat ground.

Except for the occasional flying stone that hit a few unlucky Ming soldiers, most of the Ming officers and soldiers were unharmed.

"General Yang, the rebels on the city wall have opened fire on our army, and now our army should immediately return fire." Zhao Zhen, the general of the left town of the water division, opened his mouth.

"This?" At this moment, Yang Yandi under the city is also in a dilemma.

The rebels on the left and right battalions on the city walls were also his soldiers.

The people in the city are the displaced people he has recruited around Annam over the years.

If the siege is ordered, it will be devastated.

But if he didn't order the siege of the city, then these Ming generals who followed him would inevitably capture themselves and bring them back to Haikou to be disposed of by Xiao Wu.

"The general ordered the siege of the city, and the officers and soldiers of Liwu Town are willing to be the vanguard." Seeing that Yang Yandi was in a dilemma, Xue Wenjing volunteered to come out and ask for battle.

Previously, most of the hundreds of soldiers he stayed in the city were mercilessly killed by Huang Jin, which made him angry, and he was almost implicated because of Huang Jin's rebellion.

"Okay, General Xue, I will order you to lead your troops to attack the city." Zhao Zhen saw that Xue Wenjing volunteered, and he was naturally happy, so that the Ming people of Meidi could not be better for Shuishi Town.

In the rear of the Tiger Artillery Battalion, the gunners were in full swing to reload gunpowder.

"General, our army is preparing to attack the city!" A flag officer rode to the artillery camp and said loudly.

"What? Are our troops really going to attack the city?" The water division artillery battalion guerrilla Li Zhen looked in the direction of the city wall in the distance. valley

"Order to drop the buckshot and put on the iron bullet." Li Zhen ordered.

Soon, four Zhennan General Cannons were ready.

Compared with the army of Huben Town, the gunners of Sailor Town are better at sea combat, and the naval artillery pays attention to accuracy, after all, the ship shakes under the waves, and the artillery follows

When the ship is shaking, the gunner must shell the enemy ship under the shaking of the hull, and he must pay attention to the accuracy of the artillery, so the gunners of the naval division town have a much better level of artillery fighting, especially the accuracy of long-distance artillery bombardment, than the gunners of the army town.

The distance of more than a mile could not be simpler for these sailor gunners.

"Put!"

The arquebus was lit, and when the arquebus was burning, a series of fires appeared.

"Bang! Bang! Bang." The sound of dull thunder spread throughout the army.

Before the rebels in the city could react to the dull thunderous cannon fire, they felt empty under their feet, and in an instant the ground seemed to shake the mountains.

Four twelve-pound iron bullets hit the walls accurately.

Although the city wall was thick, it was also made of adobe bricks, and it could not stop the direct hit of the twelve-pound iron bullet.

The thick wall collapsed directly to a corner under the impact of iron bullets. br>

"Hooray!" Seeing this, the Ming officers and soldiers shouted one after another.

In the rear artillery battalion, after seeing the salvo of four heavy guns, the remaining falcon guns and Saiko guns also aimed at the city wall and opened fire one after another.

"Liwu Town, kill!" Seeing that the city wall was collapsed by the Ming army, when the Ming army's artillery stopped, Xue Wenjing immediately drew his sword and shouted.

The rebel officers and soldiers on the city wall had already been shaken by the aftermath of the shock caused by the shells, and they were already in a state of confusion.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers of Liwu Town were shouting and rushing up, where did they think of resisting at this moment, they scattered and fled.

Several rebel generals defending the city tried to stop them, but the situation was gone.

had to lead more than 20 diehards to resist.

Xue Wenjing took the lead, holding a longbow and shooting three arrows in succession, knocking the three rebel archers who were trying to stop the Ming army at the collapse of the city wall to the ground.

"Kill."

The officers and soldiers of Liwu Town entered the city wall through the collapse of the wall, and except for a few generals who defended the city and more than 20 of their men were still blocking it, the other rebel officers and soldiers either surrendered to the wind or fled into the city.

"We are only here to quell the rebellion, and those who surrender will not be held accountable." Ascending the city wall, Xue Wenjing drank.

"Kill!" The officers and soldiers of Liwu Town climbed the city wall one after another, and a large number of rebels from the left and right battalions defected one after another.

"General, retreat, the walls can't be defended." More than a dozen rebel soldiers hurriedly escorted several generals down the city wall.

"Quickly occupy the inner city, the rebel battalions on the left and right in the outer city, quickly." Xue Wenjing knew that this battle must be resolved quickly.

Taking advantage of the fact that the rebels of the left and right battalions retreated towards the inner city like a tide, the Ming officers and soldiers killed in the city.

Seeing the sound of killing in the city, Zhao Zhen, the general of the Zuozhen of the Water Division, couldn't help but nodded.

"Yes, he really deserves to be a general that Lord Xiao relies on, and this battle should be credited with the first credit." Zhao Zhen looked at Yang Yandi, who was speechless.

"General Yang, you don't need to be sad."

"Since these rebels dare to rebel, it proves that they have two hearts for a long time, and it is better to get rid of them now than to become a big problem in the future." Zhao Zhen said with relief.
