Wang Chenggong's department is laying out the rolling wood and stones, boiling water and gold juice, and is fully prepared, just waiting for the officers and soldiers to attack the city.

Unexpectedly, the officers and soldiers stopped far, far away, and the ink stopped.

Wang Chenggong: "What kind of reputation are these officers and soldiers doing?" ”

One of his subordinates crossed his feet and looked forward: "It seems, as if what are you waiting for?" ”

Wang Chenggong sneered: "What else can you wait for?" ”

At this moment, his subordinates shouted: "Cannon! Cannon! ”

"What?" Wang Chenggong was taken aback, and quickly picked up his feet and looked forward, only to see the officers and soldiers opening the door and pushing out five cannons. Three of the cannons were shiny silver, and it was unknown what kind of strange metal they were made of. The other two cannons were black, bronze cannons that Wang Chenggong had seen.

As soon as he saw this thing, Wang Chenggong knew that it was going to be bad.

"Ready!"

At the command of the artillery battalion commander, five groups of artillery officers acted at the same time, and the actions that had been trained for several years finally came in handy. Fill the gunpowder, pick up the cannonball, stuff it into the chamber, and insert the arquebus......

"Aim!"

"A little more inclination......"

"Raise it higher."

"Okay, that's it."

"The muzzle of the gun is a little bit to the left."

"Fire!"

With trembling little hands, the artillerymen lit the arquebus.

Seeing the sparks burning all the way to the cannon chamber, the excitement in their hearts cannot be described in words.

Roshi looked confused: "Where did these artillery come from?" How is it a stupid look of a new Ding going to the battlefield? ”

Shi Jian: "That's right, they are Xinding." ”

Roshi: "......"

"Boom! Boom Boom! ”

Five cannons, one after the other, fired.

The first shot was in the middle of the gate of Wangjiacha Castle.

The heavy wooden door can be said to be effortless to resist things such as rushing cars and crashing cars, but it is not worth mentioning at all when used to resist cannons.

There was a clatter of broken wood, and a large hole was broken in the city gate.

Then, a cannonball was smashed on the city wall not far away, and the brick and earth city wall was hit like this, and the sand and stones suddenly flew away, and the wall shook.

Before the city wall could catch its breath, another cannonball hit it.

This Wangjiacha Castle is not a strong giant city like Xi'an, Nanjing, and Beijing, it is just a small city on the side, how can He De be bombarded by cannons like this?

The walls were humiliated, and with a painful roar, boom, collapsed into a large hole.

The rogues who were hiding on that section of the city wall, ready to roll stones and wood, only felt that their feet were empty, and the city wall collapsed, and they also rolled down with them.

After a while, the sand and dust rolled, and the large crowd of rogues was dusty.

When Wang Chenggong saw this scene, everyone was numb.

"Is there any mistake? Where did these officers and soldiers get the artillery? Fuck, the officers and soldiers in northern Shaanxi are poor and white, where can they get this? ”

He was answered by the cheers of the officers and soldiers in the distance: "Hit, hit!" ”

The artillerymen were the most excited: "I hit the ground in my first real battle. ”

"Haha, such a big target, it's only a problem if you can't hit it, right?"

The artillery battalion commander roared angrily: "Have you done your training in vain? What are you doing after a shot? Go on! The second round! ”

"Huh?"

The artillerymen woke up from a dream, quickly cleared the chambers, reloaded the ammunition, and recalibrated the muzzle aiming......

After a long or two minute or two, the second round of shelling was finally ready.

"Fire!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The cannon rang out again, and five more shells flew towards Wangjiacha Castle.

Poor Wangjiacha Castle, before he could catch his breath, saw five cannonballs flying.

There was a boom, and the walls collapsed in two more places.

Wang Chenggong understood now that the officers and soldiers had no intention of attacking the city at all, and the officers and soldiers of about 1,000 people stood in the distance, happily watching the cannon bombarding him.

They must have waited for the cannons to blow the castle to the ground before attacking it.

Wang Chenggong gritted his teeth: "Pass the order, we can't spend it here, prepare to rush over, as long as we rush closer, the cannon will be useless, let's go and beat the officers and soldiers away and snatch their cannons." ”

Wang Chenggong's troops began to prepare to charge!

Instead of hiding on the walls, the rogues retreated one after another, went around the open space behind the gates, and gathered to charge.

And at the same time......

In a ravine northeast of Wangjiacha, a cavalry unit was also preparing to charge.

This cavalry unit came from the Mongolian Wushen tribe.

They are the main culprits who have been harassing the Hetao area in recent days, causing the trilateral governor Hong Chengchou and the Yansui general Wang Chengen quite a headache.

The Mongol cavalry, coming and going like the wind, the infantry simply could not keep them.

Moreover, like the Liukou, they would often bypass the fortified city without fighting, slip directly past the city, enter the place where the Han people live, burn, kill and loot.

In order to cope with their style of fighting, Zhu Yuanzhang set up countless border forts on the nine sides, weaving these border forts into a net, which could barely prevent the harassment of these cavalry.

But......

With the collapse of the finances at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the border army was short of pay, a large number of people fled and rebelled, and the border forts were fancy and deserted, and even occupied by the rogues.

This Mongolian cavalryman, peeking from the side of the battlefield, has been for a while.

When they saw that the Ming army was fighting the Liukou, they were happy to watch the play, and when they watched, they saw that the Ming army moved out the cannons, and the Liukou were miserable.

"I'm very interested in those cannons." The captain of the cavalry team shouted: "Let's take advantage of the attention of the Ming army to rush over, cut down the Ming army, and snatch those cannons." ”

The Mongol cavalry shouted: "Rob! ”

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Just then, another round of artillery fire.

The cavalry captain raised his horsewhip: "Up!" ”

A large group of Mongolian cavalry rushed out of the ravine with a bang.

Mongolian light horseman, unparalleled in the world, once these people start to charge, the speed is like a violent wind, just say it, instantly rush through the distance of hundreds of meters, like a sharp knife, cut at Shi Jianbu fiercely.

At this time, the rogues of Wang Chenggong's department were still planning to abandon the city and charge.

He was about to shout to kill, when suddenly, he heard shouts outside, and turned his head to see that a Mongolian cavalry unit, out of nowhere, was rushing towards the officers and soldiers fiercely.

Wang Chenggong was surprised: "Huh? Huh? Fuck me! The Mongols actually ran out at this time, damn it, these shitty barbarians, took us to attract the fire of the officers and soldiers, and then rushed over while the officers and soldiers had just opened fire and the reloading interval. ”

The rogues in his hands said loudly, "Boss, what should we do?" ”

Wang Chenggong gritted his teeth: "Let's stop moving for the time being, let's see first, we can't join forces with the Mongols to fight officers and soldiers, and if we want to fight, we must fight when there are no Mongols." ”
