Chapter 424: Don't Run, Hold the City Gate!

Mortars appeared for the first time in the lives of these defenders, but only to end their lives.

Shells, no matter how powerful they are, are blind if they can't blow up people.

So the ultimate goal of every gunner is to hit every shot.

But this goal is extremely difficult to achieve, and the only way to do this is to continuously improve the hit rate by various means.

As these gunners who came from the capital thousands of miles away, they naturally had to do all kinds of training, so they also found their state on the battlefield very quickly at this time, and when the third artillery shell was fired, the hit rate increased a little.

The only thing the defenders at the head of the city could do was pray that the shells would not fall on them. Then, under the strong suppression of the superior generals, he sporadically fired a few cannons at the Ming army outside the city.

"Second Squad! Strike!"

Seeing that the firepower of the first squad was not powerful enough, the other party dared to fight back, and Xu Zhi'an asked the second squad to go up as well. Twenty mortars turned into forty, and the firepower was directly doubled.

It is still the same operation process, which completely fills the firepower gap outside the southern wall.

The soldiers at the head of the city were already dead, and even Zheng Jiu hid on the other side of the city wall, waiting for the enemy's next move.

"General Zheng, the power of this small artillery of the enemy is too great, we can't withstand it."

The one who spoke was Haiyang's guard, named Mo Bixian, who was inferior to Zheng Jiu in terms of level and backstage, so since Zheng Jiu fled to Haiyang, Mo Bixian has taken his opinion on everything. At this time, seeing the power of the enemy's artillery, Mo Bi first felt that his own side could not support it, so he planned to test it to see what the defeated general was going to do next.

"If you can't stand it, you have to do it, what will the people in the city do? What about the soldiers under your command? There is no way back! Even if you fight to the death, you have to resist it!"

Gotcha, go up.

More than 10,000 people came, and now only 200 were dispatched, and no one on their side dared to stand on the city wall. is still desperate to resist it, what other means do people have in the future? Take what top?

Mo Bi made up his mind first, if something was wrong, he would definitely be the first to escape.

Thinking like this in my heart, my mouth is still yes. But there was no actual action.

In fact, under the pressure of the mortars of the Ming army, no one dared to do anything.

"Then General Zheng, what should we do next?" Don't be the first to continue to give full play to the excellent character of the leader in everything.

"Don't worry, no matter how fierce their artillery is, won't they have to send people to attack the city in the end? Wait, isn't it possible that the artillery will not stop shooting while their men are attacking the city?"

"What General Zheng said is very true."

Mo Bi first glanced at the cloth wrapped around Zheng Jiu's head and the serious expression on his face, no matter how he looked at it, he felt very funny.

Will people not dare to attack the city for fear of accidentally injuring their own soldiers by artillery? Whose generals are so brainless?

Look, isn't this coming out?

Huh?

Why is this little bit of a person?

Mo Bi first looked out through the female wall, his face full of doubt.

"What does that mean?"

Zheng Jiu also muttered puzzled.

I saw a squad of twenty people coming out of the Ming army array outside the city. ….

The shield in the front row and the backpack in the back row were quickly running towards the position of the city wall.

At this time, the artillery fire also stopped, and the eyes of the people on both sides of the audience were focused on this team of twenty people.

Zheng Jiu They didn't know what these people were doing, but Ming Jun naturally knew.

What could be more accurate and effective than bombing the gates alone?

The team of twenty people arrived at the gate of the city without any obstacles. Even the shield seemed a little redundant.

The double-sided tape on the back was pasted on the city gate, and the other soldiers did the same, and in less than a moment, all ten explosive packs were pasted to the city gate and the adjacent city wall.

The squad leader gave an order, and everyone ignited their own explosives bags, and then without saying a word, they ran outside with their heads down.

After running for dozens of steps, he lay on the ground, put his shield on the ground, and lay on the ground without moving.

Zheng Jiu and Mo Bixian and other soldiers were confused by these mysterious operations.

What is this for?

Running over and running out again.

Is there a ghost in the cave of the city gate?

We haven't even shot an arrow, okay, do you want to make such a big move?

Fortunately, their doubts did not last long, and ten explosive packs in the city gate detonated almost at the same time, and a violent tremor came from under their feet, and at the same time a deafening sound sounded in their ears.

At this time, whether it is Zheng Jiu or Mo Bixian, or the soldiers of all sizes under their command, they all know why these Ming soldiers ran out quickly and lay outside, and they didn't run to death!

But what did they do?

Everyone had another question after the sudden realization.

The explosions come and go as fast as they go.

When the smoke slowly dissipated, everyone's eyes looked at the city gate again.

Zheng Jiu, who was standing at the corner of the city wall, naturally couldn't see the city gate, but he could see the reactions of the soldiers in the city.

"Oh no! The gates were blown up!"

"Run, Haiyang can't hold it!"

Not only did the soldiers panic, but the people in the city also panicked.

In front of the station, they had just appeased, saying that Haiyang City was strong, and the Ming army would not be able to break it in a short period of time, so let them not worry, and assist the soldiers to defend the city with peace of mind, and when the war is over, their benefits are indispensable.

But now?

After a while, the kung fu city gate is gone, and it's still a sturdy fart! Hurry up and run for your life, and you still need a hairy benefit!?

Seeing that the city gate was broken, the people were out of control.

Zheng Jiu panicked.

"Don't run! Resist it all! Defend the gates! Defend the gates!"

Zheng Jiu hurriedly ran towards the city wall, trying to stabilize the panicked soldiers in the city as he ran, but the effect was very insignificant. These Cochin soldiers had never seen something so powerful.

In their minds, the Dutch artillery was already the most terrible thing in the world, but it didn't have such power.

I still resisted, but I didn't see that the city gate was blown to pieces, what to take?

Isn't it good to be alive?

Wanting to survive is the cognition of all the people, and it is also the cognition of most soldiers, and this naturally includes Mo Bixian, who made up his mind at the beginning and was ready to run.

He did not go with Zheng Jiu, but quietly came to the direction of the west of the city by sticking to the root of the wall, and ordered his own soldiers to open the west gate of the city and flee by seizing the road.

Naturally, the chaos inside the city spread outside the city.

A smile appeared on Xu Zhi'an's face, and he was not the slightest surprise at this result.

With the power of the firearms in his hand at the moment, it would be hellish if it was difficult to capture such a city with little firepower.

As for the casualties, neither side fought where the casualties came from?.
