Suddenly, there was a thunderous cannon sound not far away.

The Qing army generals who were preparing to attack the city were stunned.

This is not yet a siege, why is this cannon going off again?

The generals of the Qing army had not yet reacted, and suddenly they only felt a shock under their feet. Then came the neighing of the horses and the wails of the officers and soldiers.

"What's going on!" Wu Qijue suddenly felt bad and looked towards the city.

I saw bursts of black smoke coming from the position of the Qing army's artillery.

I saw a bronze cannon with a twisted body standing there alone, the wheels were lifted out and broken into several pieces, and the artillery had long since disappeared.

"Bang bang bang ......" Suddenly, the Qing army's position was dusty.

Several more pitch-black iron balls smashed into the Qing artillery team.

Coincidentally, a cannonball accurately hit the gun carriage of a copper gun weighing more than 2,000 catties, and several Qing artillerymen next to the gun truck flew straight out, and the body fragments finally fell slowly like fallen leaves.

The wooden artillery carriage was smashed to pieces, and the copper cannon of more than 2,000 catties was tilted directly to the right under the huge impact force.

At this time, the Qing artillery team finally reacted.

Hurriedly dragged the horses and began to transport the artillery, trying to rush to the rear.

However, the mules and horses were already frightened by the sound of cannons, and some of the horses broke free from the reins and fled, while more remained dead or alive.

"General, thieves and good women are cheating, they actually arranged artillery on the hill near Changhua City." Wang Rui stepped forward in horror and pointed to a hill not far from Changhua City.

"No way, how did they pull the heavy artillery up the hill?" Wu Qijue realized that the situation was serious after seeing the bursts of white smoke rising from the hillside in the distance.

He had thought that the pirates had at best deployed a few small cannons on the city walls, and that his own artillery had been deployed far enough from the city more than a mile away.

Who would have thought that the thief army would actually place heavy artillery on the hill not far from the city.

"General, the last general personally led the right man to the top of the mountain to take down the artillery of the thief army." Wang Rui asked for battle.

"Good!" Wu Qijue nodded, instead of letting Wang Rui's right battalion as a reserve, it was better to divide the troops into two routes, personally lead the main army to attack the county seat, and let Wang Rui's right battalion occupy the mountain and seize the heavy artillery of the Ming army.

He also saw just now that the hill was more than a mile away from his artillery team.

A volley of artillery was fired, and two of his own guns were scrapped.

Not to mention anything else, the artillery on this hill alone made Wu Qijue jealous.

At the same time, there was also a bit of greed on his face, how good it would be if such an artillery team fell into his own hands.

"Siege now!"

Wu Qijue pulled out his long knife and shouted at Changhua County.

With the neighing of war horses and the sound of war drums, thousands of Qing officers and soldiers under the city began to march towards Changhua County.

"General, the right flank of the Qing army has gone to our artillery position." A guerrilla lieutenant general at the head of the city shouted loudly to Wang An.

"It's okay!" Wang An, waving his hand.

"Just right, let's see how powerful the brave soldiers the Governor relied on the most."

Qing officers and soldiers pushed siege trucks and began to march towards the city.

These siege engines are not much better than the siege engines of Jinla.

After the Qing army entered the range of two or three hundred paces, the Ming army's Franc machine guns began to concentrate fire on the three siege vehicles.

However, in just over 20 breaths, the three siege vehicles were scrapped by the Ming artillery.

After the Qing army generals saw that the siege vehicle was scrapped by the Ming army's artillery, they didn't care about anything else, gritted their teeth and commanded the green battalion soldiers to rush to the city.

After the Qing officers and soldiers entered the range of one or two hundred steps.

The four mortars on the wall also began to wield.

One by one, the flowering bombs smashed at the heads of the Qing army as if they didn't want money.

The Qing officers and soldiers who were bombed were turned on their backs.

However, the number of Qing troops besieging the city was too large, and only four gates could be used to bloom

The mortar cannons can't stop so many enemy troops.

The six-pounder Franc cannon was attacking the cavalry and siege vehicles in the rear of the Qing army.

Mortar cannons and small franc machine guns were also thrown into the fight against the Qing army.

But apparently, the number of Qing troops had exceeded the limits of what the Ming gunners could expect and cope.

Compared with the original Dongpu City, there was no order of Zhenla soldiers.

These Qing officers and soldiers also knew how to disperse, in a group, armed with steel knives, shields to block the arrows on their heads, and fire guns.

The artillery of the Ming army was unable to inflict effective casualties on the Qing army under the city in the first place.

"The Qing army has arrived in the city." Suddenly, one of the flag officers shouted.

"Copperskin Fire Thunder Preparation." With the order of another flag officer.

In the city, dozens of Ming officers and soldiers began to untie the copper fire thunder on their waists and began to light the fire rope.

When the fire rope burned to only 1/3 of the left, the copper fire thunder was thrown down by the Ming army.

Under the city tower, the Qing officers and soldiers were cheering that they had killed themselves under the city tower, only to see that the city wall suddenly threw out something like a medicine pestle, and white smoke was still emitting.

This strange thing really made the Qing officers and soldiers puzzled.

But soon, with the sound of explosions, black smoke filled the entire corner of the city.

"Ahh A Qing officer and soldier screamed, black smoke and explosive flames scorching their skin and whips.

Many Qing troops were blurred by the fragments.

The copper fire thunder of the Ming army wrapped a thin layer of copper skin, and the copper skin was also carved into scales by the Ming army, and under the explosion of gunpowder, the copper skin spread out like a piece of scales, causing great casualties to the Qing officers and soldiers several meters around.

Most of the Qing officers and soldiers were not killed, after all, the number of black powder filled with fire and thunder was limited, but the fragments pierced the chest, arms, and faces of the Qing army.

While the Qing officers and soldiers were wailing, the fire guns and bows on the city walls also threw lead bullets and arrows.

After a while, the dozens of Qing officers and soldiers who rushed up were silent.

"30 to 50 steps ahead, about 100 Qing troops, fire and thunder, throw." With the order of the flag officer, dozens of officers and soldiers threw the fire and thunder in their hands into the distance.

After this period of application and actual combat, the Ming army found that the use of copper fire and thunder in defending the city was better than that in field warfare.

During the land battle on the plains, the Ming officers and soldiers could only throw fire and thunder for more than 20 steps at most.

But when defending the city, in a condescending situation, the copper fire thunder can often be thrown.

This undoubtedly greatly enhanced the firepower of the Ming army defending the city.

"Bang bang bang." Explosions were heard from under the city walls.

Bursts of white fog accompanied by flying dirt filled the battlefield.

For a time, the offensive of the Qing army was stopped.

Wu Qijue, who was supervising the war, couldn't help but look at him angrily when he saw this appearance.

"This thief's firearm is indeed strange." Even a veteran like him had never seen such a firearm.

"Why isn't the artillery team ready?" Seeing that the artillery team in the rear had not moved, Wu Qijue said angrily.

"General, the heavy artillery fire of the thieves on the hill is too fierce, our artillery team has changed three directions, and it is still pressed and beaten by them, and our artillery team has suffered more than ten casualties." A Qing gunner shouted weakly.

"What?"
