The sound of artillery roared and was deafening like thunder; It's dense, almost one after the other.

The Jinzhou city wall was filled with gunsmoke, and the rammed earth was smashed out of craters, cracked and shattered, and dust flew up.

More than forty large Franc machines continued to spit flame projectiles towards the city, like a landslide and the earth cracked, casting the shadow of death over the heads of the enemies defending the city more and more thickly.

Although the artillery is not a siege heavy artillery, it is large in number and has a fast rate of fire, which still has a certain destructive power for the defense of a city like Jinzhou.

Shen Yourong is very self-aware, he knows that Dengzhen and Tianjin Water Divisions, and even the Dongjiang Army, are all newly formed, and they don't have much combat experience, let alone how powerful they are.

Nanguan left 8,000 men and horses to defend, and the rest of the troops were all used to besiege Jinzhou. The large Franc machine on the sailor's ship was also unloaded a lot, in order to break through the city as soon as possible and reduce the variables.

The direction of the main attack is undisguised, and it is at the west gate. The artillery bombardment, the armored soldiers, and the fierce formation, clearly tell the enemy that they want to crush you with absolute strength.

The gates were long gone, but they were blocked by a large number of obstacles, and the defenders had sealed the gates, ready to fight the trapped beasts.

After five or six guns were fired with one cannon and more than 200 cannons, the city wall was seriously damaged, and the battlements were ugly and ugly.

And the enemy in the city could not stand at all, leaving only a few lookout posts in the distance, and the rest could only hide under the city and stand by.

As the chief soldier of the highest military rank, Shen Yourong undoubtedly acted as the commander-in-chief of the siege. He did not order the infantry to attack the city, but ordered the artillery to be loaded with guns, and explained a few words to Mao Wenlong and General Zhao of Jinzhen.

General Mao Wenlong and General Zhao gave up their orders, summoned a few generals of their own army, and carefully instructed them before they each received their orders and went to arrange.

After a while, the barrel of the cannon was already cold, and Shen Yourong ordered to start shelling again.

Boom, boom, boom......

Cannonballs flew up the city, bricks and stones flew sideways, and smoke and dust rose, blinding people's eyes.

General Mao Wenlong and General Zhao commanded each other, shaking the flag, and the siege troops, under the command of the officers, carried the ladder and rushed forward with a shout.

As soon as Shen Yourong's banner moved, the artillery stopped bombardment, as if he didn't want to injure his own army by mistake.

Sharp whistles and low trumpets sounded from the city, and a large number of defenders, armed with swords, guns, bows and arrows, quickly ascended the city to the roar of officers, ready to resist the enemy's attack.

A sneer appeared on Shen Yourong's face, waiting for the number of enemies in the city to be about the same, and suddenly ordered Ming Jin.

The gong sounded, and the sword and shield soldiers who charged forward threw down the ladder, and under the shouting and command of the officer, they turned and retreated.

Almost at the same time, the cannon roared, and dozens of cannons spewed flames and fired cannonballs into the city.

The gunners changed their guns as fast as they could, bombarding the city without stopping.

"Go down to the city, go down to the city and hide from the cannons." When the Jiannu officer knew that he had been deceived, he shouted angrily and led his soldiers down the city in a panic.

A cannonball smashed down, and although the speed seemed to be slow, it was dead and bruised, and several Jiannu screamed and fell down in the flesh and blood.

Shells flew up the city one after another, leaving traces on the walls and battlements, smashing dust and debris, flying over the walls and falling into the air, or bringing a streak of blood, arousing screams and wails.

The cannon fire stopped, and the besieging troops, seeing the change of banners, turned back to charge again, and carried the ladder on the ground again, closer to the city wall than the last time, and shouted louder.

With the sound of trumpets and whistles, the Jiannu defenders, who had just run to the city, ran up to the city again. This time it's really going to attack the city, and listening to this shout, it's louder and closer.

When he saw the figures in the city shaking, more and more, Shen Yourong sounded the gong again to withdraw the troops. The besieging troops stopped at a distance of fifty or sixty meters from the city walls, turned and withdrew.

The cannon roared again, and the cannonballs swept through the sky in waves, flying up to the city, smashing the Jiannu who were fighting in the city to the ground, with many casualties.

I've been tricked again! The Jiannu officer gritted his teeth in hatred, panting and fleeing, leaning against the city wall and spewing out a rough breath.

"General Mao and General Zhao, the next round will be a bloody battle in the city and strive to attack it." Shen Yourong stroked the gray beard under his chin and said solemnly to Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, my lord, the soldiers under the last general have a deep hatred and blood hatred with Jiannu, and they must work hard to break the city." ”

General Zhao also bowed his hand and said: "There are also 800 Mao soldiers in Jinzhen, who are like flying, especially good at climbing, and brave and able to fight, dare to be the first." ”

Shen Yourong nodded and said, "Then go down and make detailed arrangements, and make sure there are no mistakes." ”

"Yes, the last will obey." Mao Wenlong and Zhao Shen will bow and leave.

Shen Yourong turned his gaze and looked at the artillery position. After these rounds of bombardment, the gunners mastered better, with greater accuracy, and were more sure of breaking the city.

After the gun was loaded, the cannon body was also cooled, and the flag was pointed, and the siege troops pressed forward, and the archers then put on a posture of really attacking the city.

The lookout posts at the head of the city hesitated and did not dare to blow the whistle or horn again, and several luring shellings caused many casualties to their own troops, which made their psychological pressure increase sharply, as if it were their responsibility.

100 meters, 80 meters, 60 meters, 50 meters...... The advance of the siege troops was getting closer and closer to the walls, either to storm or to advance step by step.

The archers had already found a distance, stood in rows, and the arrows were on the strings, waiting for the bow to be fired.

The shrill whistle and the low sound of the horn finally sounded at the head of the city, Shen Yourong squinted his eyes, secretly counted in his heart, and waved the command flag violently, giving the artillery the order to fire. Almost at the same time, the gong sounded.

The defenders, who had hidden under the city, were rushing up the city under the supervision of the officers, and the first group had already reached the top of the city, and had just gained a foothold when they heard the rumbling of cannons.

"fooled again." The Jiannu officer was still a few steps away from going up to the top of the city, and when he heard this familiar voice, he almost cried, turned around and ran down, shouting "Go down to the city, go down to the city and hide from the artillery!" ”

The shells fell one after another, and without accident brought another number of casualties to Jiannu, and the screams and wails were mixed with angry scolding, the Han people were too despicable.

Gunsmoke and dust once again covered the head of the city, but the besieging troops under the city did not withdraw, raising shields dozens of meters away to cover it.

The sound of the cannon stopped, and the rumbling drums of war followed. With a shout, the siege troops rushed forward with ladders and shields.

With the sound of more hurried whistles and horns, the defenders hiding under the city entered the city again. After being hit by several shells, the defenders seemed a little hesitant, and even the officers were not so determined, fearing another round of shelling.

This time, the cannon did not sound, but it was greeted by a cluster of arrows that rained down on the city.

At a distance of dozens of meters, in a blink of an eye, the ladders were erected one by one, and the soldiers climbed along the ladders.
