Start the siege!

As soon as these four words sounded, Lu Xiangsheng's eyes turned to the shield soldiers at the front of Cao Wenzhao's army, but ......

It's strange, these people haven't moved!

Isn't it time to start the siege? Why don't you move forward?

He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly heard a loud "boom" at the rear of the military formation, followed by "boom, boom, boom", and continuous cannon sounds.

The Shanxi soldiers, under the command of Hu Dawei, took the lead.

The Shanxi soldiers brought a lot of artillery this time, and the entire establishment of the four artillery battalions, for the sake of the speed of the soldiers, did not carry heavy cannons, all of them were small barrels, densely laid out.

As soon as you fire!

The cannonball flew towards the Jinzhou city wall as if it were raining.

In fact, there are cannons on the head of Jinzhou City, smoothbore cannons, but now they are still far away, and the smoothbore cannons have not yet reached the time when they want to fire.

Zu Dashou didn't expect that the enemy army would open fire so far away.

Lu Xiangsheng also looked back in shock: "Huh? Shanxi Guards...... What kind of monster cannon is used? So small? ”

He saw the Shanxi army take out a bunch of small iron pipes before, but he didn't expect it to be a cannon at all, and it wasn't until the fight was lively now that he suddenly woke up.

Large cannonballs whistled towards the walls of Jinzhou City.

"Boom, boom!"

A series of explosions began, and there were shells exploding on the façade of the city wall, in the water of the moat, on the top of the city wall, and in a small distance inside the city wall...... Flowering shrapnel swept through, which can be called terrifying.

Zu Dashou's subordinates were originally in a hurry, many of them didn't even have good armor, the enemy was still far away, and they hadn't yet entered the rhythm of the battle.

Inside and outside the city walls, there were screams again and again.

From time to time, someone was blown up and flew up, carried down from the city wall, landed on the ground in the middle of the city wall and the moat, and then rolled a few times, fell into the moat, and slowly sank.

Lu Xiangsheng was stunned inexplicably: "Such a small cannon barrel, such a great power?" ”

At the same time as the artillery battalion opened fire, Shen Shikui, the chief soldier of the Dongjiang River, spoke to the Phidao garrison under his command: "What are you still stunned? Go and prepare the mud and stones, and prepare to fill the moat! ”

The garrison of Phi Dao hurriedly responded, and each of them actually prepared a bag, and at the same time as the artillery battalion opened fire, these people took out shovels or something, and filled the bag with soil.

What mud, stones, what to put in a bag.

This time the Phi Island garrison came in the largest number.

Cao Wenzhao's Guanning Iron Cavalry was only more than 2,000, the Tianxiong Army was 3,000, the Shanxi Army was 3,000, the Guyuan Border Army was only 600, and the Phidao garrison came with 6,000 people.

With so many people, one person carrying a bag of mud and stone, all at once it is 6,000 bags of mud and stone, which is really a lot of people.

Lu Xiangsheng found that his "commander-in-chief" seemed to be useless, these armies obviously came from different places and different formations, but they had already coordinated what they should do without the coordination of their own "commander-in-chief".

They all know who is responsible for doing what.

When was it scheduled?

Why don't I know?

What should my Tianxiong Army do now?

Row after row of question marks, swirling above his head.

I only heard the rumbling of cannons, and soon, all kinds of fortifications on the head of Jinzhou City were destroyed, the forts on the head of the city were also blown up, and the giant ballista was burned...... The musketeers and archers shivered behind the bumps.

But the bumps could only defend against bullets and arrows from outside the city, but they could not protect themselves from the cannonballs that fell over the walls, and they could only pray that they were lucky enough that the shrapnel would not sweep over them.

Zu Dashou had long been protected by his own soldiers, and hid in a cave surrounded by stones, and there was no way to command the battle on the city.

Seeing that the defense system in the city was almost paralyzed, Cao Wenzhao raised his command sword: "Artillery ceasefire, Guanning Iron Cavalry, Phi Island garrison, forward!" ”

The Shanxi soldiers began to stop one after another.

In particular, the artillery, which was relatively close to the target point and the shells often fell into the moat, was the first to cease fire, and only those who hit farther away were still firing.

Guan Ning Iron Cavalry begins to move forward!

A large number of aluminum shields formed a long wall, slowly advancing forward.

The Phi Dao Army immediately followed, hiding behind their shields, cat-bent waists, dragging the bags they had just prepared......

A few heads popped out of the walls, and the defenders fired arrows at the outside of the city, but they were unable to penetrate the aluminum shield. To defend such a large shield, you need to use cannons, but the forts at the head of the city have been destroyed in the frenzied bombardment just now.

Zu Dashoujun could only watch as the other party approached the moat.

Then the Guanning Iron Cavalry and Shield Array separated, and a large group of firecrackers struck at the head of the city, and the archers in the city were so crushed that they couldn't lift their heads.

The Phi Island garrison took the opportunity to throw the large bag that they had dragged over to a small moat as if they were concentrating.

Six thousand bags!

A full six thousand bags of mud and stone sank into the moat.

That section of the river was half filled in at once.

"Stand back!" Cao Wenzhao said loudly: "Retreat, do it again." ”

The Phi Island garrison withdrew first, and the shield array followed suit.

When they retreated a little farther away from the city wall, the Shanxi army shouted: "Open the cannon!" ”

So, the second round of shelling began.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at this scene dumbfounded, this battle was too easy for him, the commander-in-chief, he didn't say a word, just watched the generals themselves perform.

Ah, yes!

There was also a woman next to her, using a strange machine, facing the battlefield in front of her.

The battle was raging in front, and the woman actually had the time to narrate: "Look, now our army is attacking Jinzhou City, because it is a surprise attack, our army does not carry large siege weapons, all of them are weapons that are easy to carry by individual soldiers, so this battle will have some difficulties......"

Lu Xiangsheng: Difficult? She actually called this difficult?

It was the easiest battle I've ever fought, and she actually said it was a little difficult?

Zhou Daya: "We can't destroy the enemy army in just one meal like before, and we can only use the tactic of multiple attacks to fill the moat." ”

Lu Xiangsheng: Isn't siege warfare fought many times? It's normal to pull and pull and fight for a few days, or even a few months, how confident are you to end a siege with a meal?

I saw that under the second round of artillery fire, the retreating garrisons of Phi Dao took out another bag and began to load mud and stone on the ground again.

Lu Xiangsheng "coughed" and came over: "Chief Shen, do you still have any extra bags?" Take some for my Tianxiong army, and my men will fill the moat. ”
