please make me king

Chapter 1407
The artillery of this era is very powerful, but also very small.

It is very powerful, compared to the fragile human body and the iron armor that has been used for thousands of years.

The power is very small, compared to the civil engineering works of this era.

Although the power of these "Red Cannons" cannot be underestimated, but hitting the thick rammed earth city walls, the effect is not as great as many people imagined.

In the historical line of Zhang Shun's previous life, Mrs. Hong once led an army to surround Songshan Fort.

Then recruit Wu Zhenchaoha's left and right wings, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi and other "San Shun Kings", and operate dozens of red barbarian cannons to attack on all sides.

As a result, the gunpowder and shells were finished, and [-] guns and [-] gunpowder were brought in from "Shengjing".

After two months of continuous attack, the Songshan Fort remained motionless, and Jin Guofeng became famous in the first battle, and became a negative example of using Hongyi cannons to forcibly ram the earth.

As a result, "most of the soldiers of the Hou Jin Dynasty were defeated, and several generals were also killed. People walking on the street were mostly panic-stricken. In the distance outside the city, there was a lot of crying among the squares and songs."

Not to mention what happened to Houjin, but after Zhang Shun set up [-] cannons, he watched carefully for a long while before ordering: "Let Li Shi'an immediately set fire to one place, and focus on the northwest corner of Jiming Station until it is broken. up to the corner of the city."

It turns out that most of the Chinese-style city walls in this era are gravity dam structures with a narrow top and a wide bottom.

Zhang Shun thought about it, only the structure at the corner of the city was relatively fragile and easily damaged.

Following Zhang Shun's order, a loud noise was heard not long after, and nearly a hundred iron balls flew out like locusts.

"Boom, boom, boom"

The iron balls hit two-thirds of the height of the city corner densely, and the wall bricks were smashed immediately, and the soil clods flew, and the faces of the defenders on the city were ashen-colored.

Fortunately, after a round of artillery was fired, the northwest corner remained motionless, and Boluo and Turg were secretly relieved.

Of course, bombarding the city cannot be accomplished overnight.

Zhang Shun wasn't in a hurry, and Li Shi'an wasn't in a hurry either. The two just directed the gunners in an orderly manner, concentrating on bombarding one point in the city.

When that place is destroyed, continue to direct the artillery to expand the "wound".

In this way, from morning to noon, I don't know how many rounds were fired, and I don't know how many shots were fired. The city and the city have already entered a state of boredom from the initial panic and excitement.

And just when everyone was drowsy, there was only a "click" sound suddenly, and a crack suddenly appeared in the place where the bomb craters were densely packed.

Then, like a swimming snake, the crack climbed up obliquely until it reached the top of the city wall.

The Houjin elite soldiers in that city didn't understand what was going on, but saw the ground suddenly cracked, and then their feet loosened, and they sank uncontrollably.

"Ahhh~" The sudden change caused the defenders on the city to startle loudly.

However, it was too late, everything was too late, in the eyes of the [-]-strong army outside the city, they saw that the corner platform on the northwest corner of the city wall was suddenly cut off obliquely from two-thirds of the height.

The entire corner of the city wall slid down along the section, and then fell one by one when the slide was halfway, and fell to the ground, making a deafening impact, and it was unknown how much dust was stirred up for a while.

After finally waiting until the smoke cleared, I saw that the entire city corner and corner platform had already fallen many pieces, large and small, piled up in the northwest corner of Jiming Station, forming a crude gentle slope.

As for the defenders who were standing there, their corpses could no longer be seen, and it was unknown where they were buried.

"Wow!" It wasn't until the dust settled that the rebel army outside the city recovered from the shock and let out a roar like a tsunami.

Among these shouts, there are exclamations, cheers, and excitement, but most of them are just meaningless venting of emotions.

The city wall of Jiming Post, which was as strong as gold, just... just collapsed like this? !

Can't believe it, absolutely can't believe it!
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, everyone would hardly believe their own eyes.

Hou Jingushan Beizi Boluo is right. The Jiming Post is certainly a standard rammed earth castle built by the Ming army, which has a strong defensive capability.

But it is a product of the cold weapon era after all, and it has been unable to cope with the bombardment of the Hongyi cannon in the new era.

"No, it's impossible!" Boluo, the son of Gushan, was almost taken aback by fright. He looked at the missing corner of the city wall in disbelief, and yelled.

"Bei Zi, anything is possible!" Only Nagu Shanerzhen Turge, who was more cunning and cunning, had already stabilized his mind.

He couldn't help but ordered in a deep voice: "Quickly, quickly drag the artillery over and prepare to resist the 'thief' attacking the city from the damaged place!"

The damaged corner of the city happened to be able to be attacked from the north and east by the Houjin artillery, which essentially formed the effect of crossfire.

If the rebels took the opportunity to attack from this gap, they would definitely suffer unimaginable losses.

Standing on a high place, Zhang Shun looked at the city from a distance with a binoculars for a while, and couldn't help shouting down: "Bai Guangen, this king gave you the achievement of the first ascent, whether you can take it or not!" ?”

"Your Highness, just give it. If you can't catch it, don't call it Bai Guangen!" Bai Guangen couldn't help answering loudly.

It was decided that Bai Guangen's troops would attack the city first after the main force of the rebel army arrived last night, and the others naturally had no objection.

"Okay, let's go!" Following Zhang Shun's order, Bai Guangen had already put on a double layer of iron armor, and led five hundred elites to attack the gap in the city wall along the siege ladder.

The gap is certainly a gap, but without siege equipment such as ladders, it is still difficult for soldiers in heavy armor to climb.

"Fire, fire!" Just as Bai Guangen and his group were approaching the gap in the city wall, Gushan Erzhen Turg's order sounded from the city.

Immediately, three or five cannons emerged from the gap in the city wall, aiming down the city from left to right.

The original intact city wall, artillery shooting from top to bottom, and blind spots have now become gaps in gentle slopes, and the blind spots almost don't exist anymore.

Seeing this, Bai Guangen couldn't help but feel a sinking heart, thinking that he would not be able to do well today.

However, who would have thought that Bai Guangen was looking for a sunken place to hide, when the deafening cannons suddenly resounded.

Finished!

Bai Guangen didn't care when he heard the words, and quickly threw himself on the ground, trying to avoid Houjin's shells.

It's just that who would have thought that the sound of artillery cannons seemed to be endless, and it actually resounded continuously throughout the battlefield.

Just when Bai Guangen was puzzled, a soldier kicked him and said, "Why are you pretending to be dead? President Bai has rushed forward. How dare you be lazy and play tricks here!"

Hearing the words, Bai Guangen quickly got up, looked up, and saw the rebel artillery shells pouring endlessly towards the city, but the enemy gunners and artillery on the city had long since disappeared.

It turned out that the artillery sound he heard just now was not the sound of Houjin artillery firing, but the rebel artillery suppressing on the opposing city.

Bai Guangen couldn't help but smiled awkwardly, jumped up quickly, found a ladder and climbed up the city desperately.

It turned out that at the gap in the city wall, although the defenders had no shooting blind spots, it naturally meant that there was no shelter.

The post-gold gunners and artillery who lost their cover naturally became living targets.

After Bai Guangen climbed up the city wall, there were only seven or eight battered corpses and five or six discarded cannons that greeted his eyes.

The original defenders of the city were hiding in other towers and corner towers trembling, not daring to come out to fight.
