Daniel Zhang frowned when he saw this scene, and opened his mouth to order: "Let Zhou Zhan send someone to bring mortars over and suppress the enemy troops on the city wall." ”

After Zhou Zhan received the order, he hurriedly transferred all the 500 mortars.

With the addition of 500 mortars, coupled with the fact that the air force bombarded the Zuo Liangyu soldiers on the city wall with the only remaining bombs, the pressure on the siege soldiers of the Zhou family army was suddenly greatly reduced, and the soldiers of the Zhou family army climbed to the city wall one after another when the soldiers of Zuo Liangyu did not dare to show their heads.

Finally, the first batch of soldiers of the Zhou family army climbed the city wall, and the Zuo Liangyu soldiers on the city wall picked up their big knives and rushed towards the soldiers of the Zhou family, and the soldiers of the Zhou family army took out semi-automatic rifles and began to shoot.

When the soldiers of the Zhou family army arrived on the city wall, they were unstoppable, killing all sides, and soon the Zuo Liangyu soldiers next to them were wiped out.

Then more and more soldiers of the Zhou family army climbed the city wall, and the situation suddenly improved, facing the soldiers of the Zhou family army with flintlock pistols and semi-automatic rifles on the city wall, Zuo Liangyu's soldiers were defeated like a mountain, and there was no suspense in retreating.

Ma Jinzhong and the four of them saw that the soldiers of the Zhou family army attacked the city wall, and they also knew that they had no power to return to the sky, so they began to retreat from the soldiers.

After half an hour of fighting, or rather a one-sided massacre, the soldiers of the Zhou family army finally fully occupied the city wall, and the soldiers of Zuo Liangyu died and fled.

In the main hall, Zuo Liangyu sat on the main seat with a sad face, listening to the sound of cannons from outside the city, and his heart was very worried.

Just then a soldier walked in,

"Report!"

"General Ma's 200,000 army was severely damaged by the cannons of the Zhou family's army, and the remaining 150,000 troops have retreated to the city."

Zuo Liangyu's face changed greatly, he didn't expect the Zhou family's artillery to be so terrifying, and his army had already been defeated in just a while.

"Ma Jinzhong, these wastes, the 200,000 army can't beat 50,000 soldiers and horses, and they were beaten by others and fled." Zuo Liangyu scolded angrily.

"It may be that the artillery of the Zhou family army is too powerful, and General Ma temporarily retreated to the city to avoid the artillery." Whitden speculated.

"Yes, the artillery of the Zhou family army is too powerful, and the soldiers dare not step forward to resist the artillery." Huang Shu agreed.

Hearing their words, Zuo Liangyu felt a little better, and was about to say something more.

Suddenly, another soldier hurried in.

"Report!"

"The soldiers of the Zhou family army took the opportunity to occupy the city wall of the east city gate by dropping bombs and fire oil over the east city gate on a flying ball, causing a large number of casualties."

"What? The East Gate has been lost? How can it be so fast? Zuo Liangyu said in shock.

The generals below were also shocked when they heard the news.

It has only been more than half an hour since the start of the war, and the East City Gate has actually been lost, which is also too unbelievable.

"Huang Shu and Hui Dengxiang, you two will lead the soldiers to take back the East City Gate." Zuo Liangyu hurriedly ordered.

Huang Shu and Hui Dengxiang immediately took the order and walked down!

Jiujiang City has a total of 400,000 troops, last time Wu Yaoyun took away 100,000 troops, this time he broke and fled 50,000 troops, and now there are a total of 250,000 troops.

Zuo Liangyu only hoped that the artillery of the Zhou army could not be used in the city, and he could turn defeat into victory by relying on the advantage of troops, after all, the number of his soldiers was four or five times that of the Zhou army.

After the Zhou army occupied the east city gate, they immediately opened the city gate to let more Zhou soldiers enter the city, and Zhou Zhan also arranged the mortars of the artillery division on the city wall to block the counterattack of Zuo Liangyu's soldiers.

The soldiers of the Zhou family army also came to the gate of the city with fully automatic machine guns, and with such adequate preparations, no matter how big the counterattack of Zuo Liangyu's soldiers was, they could not break through this line of defense.

Part of the hot air balloon returned to the ground to replenish ammunition, and the other part continued to float towards the city, and the biggest role of the air force now is to monitor the movements of Zuo Liangyu's soldiers, and it can also cause an invisible pressure and deterrence to Zuo Liangyu's soldiers.

When the soldiers and people in Jiujiang City saw the hot air balloon floating in the air, they were shocked as if they had seen a ghost.

"What is this?"

"Could it be that the Heavenly Soldiers are coming?"

"Everyone, run!"

It was something they had never seen before, and the shock of the new thing was enough to make them forget it for the rest of their lives, and the people of the city scattered in fear.

At this time, Huang Shu and Hui Dengxiang also approached the east with an organized army of 100,000, this time with 5,000 archers behind.

When Huang Shu and Hui Dengxiang led the soldiers to the east gate, they met Ma Jinzhong and four others, they still have 100,000 soldiers and horses, and 50,000 soldiers and horses are scattered all over Jiujiang City, and they are now monitoring the movements of the Zhou family's army here.

They had already let the soldiers and horses rush several times, and because this place was not very wide, they could only pass through more than 4,000 people at most each time, and each time they were repelled by the powerful fire of the soldiers of the Zhou family, leaving corpses in one place.

Ma Jinzhongsi saw that Hui Dengxiang and Huang Shu led so many soldiers and horses over, and immediately stepped forward excitedly and said: "General Hui and General Huang came just in time, we are worried that we can't attack it!" ”

"What's the situation? How many Zhou Jiajun are there at the East Gate? Whitden asked.

"There are about 10,000 Zhou family troops, and there are more Zhou family troops coming here." Ma Jinzhong introduced.

"It's ridiculous that only 10,000 soldiers and horses want to stop our 200,000 army, rush up and kill these Zhou family troops." Huang Shu sneered.

After receiving the order, the soldiers rushed to the east gate under the leadership of thousands of households.

"I'm afraid it's not okay to rush like this, the Zhou family's guns are very powerful, they are very fast to reload, and the soldiers can't rush forward at all." Ma Jinzhong reminded.

Hui Dengxiang and Huang Shu did not believe it, at this time, more than 4,000 soldiers under the leadership of Qianhu and Baihu had entered 400 meters in front of the east gate, and the soldiers of the Zhou family army did not hesitate to shoot, and flintlock guns, semi-automatic rifles, and machine guns opened fire at the same time.

When the 4,000 soldiers rushed to a distance of only 300 meters, more than 1,000 soldiers were knocked to the ground.

The scene of more than 1,000 people being shot and falling to the ground at the same time was too shocking, and the soldiers behind were so frightened that they hurriedly fled back.

When Hui Dengxiang and Huang Shu saw this scene, they were immediately extremely angry, these Zhou family troops relied on the advantage of firearms, and their own soldiers couldn't rush forward at all.

"The shield bearer is in front, and the archers are behind, and let them also taste the power of our bows and arrows." Huang Shu ordered.

Suddenly, two thousand shield bearers were in front and two thousand archers were behind, and they walked towards the Zhou army at the east gate.

When they reached the 400-meter range, the soldiers of the Zhou family army opened fire again.

To say that those shields still have some effect, the bullets of the flintlock pistol hit the shield with a great slowness, and as long as they don't hit the head, they basically won't die.

But with the bullets of semi-automatic rifles and machine guns, the effect of these shields is minimal.

Taking advantage of the shield hand blocking the bullets in front, the two thousand archers behind began to shoot arrows, and the dense rain of two thousand arrows flew towards the soldiers of the Zhou family.

When the soldiers of the Zhou family saw the rain of arrows coming, they hurriedly lay down or found cover to dodge, although they tried to dodge, but more than 100 soldiers were still shot by bows and arrows.

When the soldiers of the Zhou family army dodged the bow and arrow, the pressure on the shield bearer was greatly reduced, and they immediately continued to walk forward.
