The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 251: City Suppression
The Lvshun Army had one thousand blunderbuss soldiers and one thousand gun shield soldiers, 100 men in each row, a total of [-] rows, and the distance between each row was [-] meters. The targets were all concentrated near the gate of the city, and they began to march forward. , no need to maintain formation, walk freely.

But each gun soldier needs to be accompanied by a spear and shield soldier.

At the same time, the mule cart and horse cart behind them also dragged the cart and cannon forward.

Another thousand spear shield soldiers and gun soldiers were sent to the east gate.

The rest of the soldiers and horses followed behind them, keeping a distance of fifty paces.

Seeing the massive attack by the Ming army, Gu Burqi on the top of the city became even more excited: "Fire the cannon, shoot the cannon, hit me hard."

But soon someone came over to report: "My lord, the cannon needs to rest for a while before it explodes."

"Bastard, the Ming army is attacking, tell me to rest now, fight, hit me." Gu Burqi didn't know artillery, so he drew his knife on the spot, almost cutting down the Han army.

The Han army had no choice but to run back and demanded to continue fighting.

Boom, the cannon still sounded.

The Lushun army quickly entered within two hundred steps.

Bang, a shell hit the spear and shield soldier in the front row of the Lushun Army, and half of the spear and shield soldier's body was shattered on the spot.

The cannonball rolled and jumped backwards, and the Lushun army behind hurriedly jumped to the left, but it was too late.

Puchi, the Lushun army's left leg was hit by an iron ball, and it was instantly broken in two. Ah, he screamed and fell to the ground.

His head was sweating from the pain, and his face was full of tears. He opened his mouth and wanted to cry, but he didn't cry out. He bit his lip, hugged his legs, and rolled around on the ground, which was very painful.

The companions in the back row passed by, gave him a helpless look, and continued to move forward.

Boom, another shell flew over like a meteor.

The two musketeers and spear shield soldiers who were walking together looked up and saw a black line flying towards them, and their faces changed drastically.

"Be careful." The spear and shield soldier roared, and pushed hard, pushing the gunman aside, he raised his shield with all his strength, and pushed it up.

With a puff, the shield shattered, and the iron ball hit him hard in the chest.

He flew out, and when he landed on the ground, his body had been broken into pieces, which was horrible.

The cannonball bounced again and again, puffed, and cut off another gunman, tearing a bloody path along the road.

The gun soldier who fell to the ground was called Chen Wanniu. He had just joined the army for one year and participated in the battle to kill Liu Xingzhi. He is 23 years old this year.

"Wow, Lao Xiao, woo woo" He sat on the ground, watched his companion fly out, and finally couldn't help crying, because the one who was beaten to death was his fellow countryman.

Chen Wanniu watched his fellow countryman being beaten to death, and his hand holding the gun began to tremble.

He had just walked all the way to load the ammunition, and a lot of gunpowder flowed out from the muzzle and scattered all over the ground.

"Chen Wanniu, what are you doing, get up immediately." There was a long pass behind him, and he gave him a look.

"What are you crying about? Take revenge for Lao Xiao, you are so good at shooting guns." Another gunslinger, Chen Wanniu's good friend Zhou Zhiliang stepped up from behind cursing: "Don't embarrass us Liangxiang people."

Chen Wanniu wiped his tears with his hands, looked up at the city wall, and quickly stood up.

"Follow me in a while, let's find the leader of Houjin, and we will lead together." The long boss was He Xiaoche, and He Xiaoche said loudly.

Both Chen Wanniu's gunplay and He Xiaoche's gunplay are among the best in the game.

Chen Wanniu nodded fiercely and reloaded the medicine.

Houjin had few cannons, and it took several minutes to install them in one round. Before two or three rounds were fired, the Ming army was already approaching the city.

While the Lushun army pressed forward, the artillery carts and carts behind were also pushed up. Soon, Guburqi, who was occupied by the city wall, saw the artillery of the Ming people.

"There are cannons, there are cannons, so they want to attack with cannons?"

"Fire the cannon, shoot the cannon of the wise."

The Lushun Army pushed two 24-pound iron cannons and 40 field guns forward together, and the cart was still far behind.

Boom, boom, the cannons on the top of the city frantically fired towards the artillery positions.

But the hit rate of the artillery was very close, and the infantry did not hit a few people.

Boom, the first round was almost empty.

After waiting for several minutes, the second round finally started.

Good luck this time, bang, a shot hit a mule.

The mule is used to pull the 24-pound iron cannon. Because the cannon is heavy, a mule must be used to pull it.

The mule didn't even scream and fell down.

The cannonball bounced back and hit the 24-pound iron cannon. The iron cannon fell apart on the spot. The cannon body seemed to have suffered little damage, but the movable cannon carriage was completely shattered.

The artillerymen who followed were cursing, but there was nothing they could do.

But only two rounds were fired on the city wall, and all the artillery had advanced to within 200 meters.

One of the 24-pound guns was placed in the middle of the sandbag, which was extremely safe, and the remaining 12-pounder guns continued to push forward.

Xi Laojing also rushed to the scene and began to direct the artillery.

"The elevation angle is 6 degrees, the distance is 200 meters——reload——"

Soon, boom, the Lushun army fired the first shot.

The cannonball almost flew over the city wall, scaring Hou Jin on the city wall into the sky.

Standing on the city gate, Gu Burqi and others turned pale with shock, and then they realized that they ran to both sides of the city gate.

"I remembered, they used cannons to attack the city gate, and they used it to attack Jinzhou." Tong Puhan then remembered that Li Soltai had told him before.

But there is no way to think about it, they don't have Hongyi cannons, and there are few cannons, so there is really no way to take down the Ming army under the city.

"Fight, kill their cannons." Gu Burqi yelled frantically.

Suddenly, boom, there was a loud noise on the west side of the city head.

There were countless screams all around.

Gu Burqi looked back, and it turned out that a large bowl of guns had exploded.

The city wall was in a mess, and several Han gunners were killed or injured.

"My lord, I can't fight any more. If I fight again, it will explode." Someone came over and begged.

Gu Burqi looked up and saw that the Ming army was still pushing forward, and soon they were less than 100 meters away from the city gate, and began to deploy artillery arrays.

A field gun was looking for a place to line up, and forty field guns were divided into four rows, all concentrated in the middle of the city gate.

Gu Burqi was dumbfounded. Dozens of cannons from the Ming army had pushed to the gate of the city. He had never seen anyone push cannons so close in a war.

Right now he doesn't care about attacking the Ming army, so he can only grit his teeth and say, "I want to fight even if it explodes. Let me fight against the artillery of the Ming army. Anyone who dares not to fight will kill Wuhe."

The Han army had no choice but to go back and continue fighting.

At this time, the cannons on the city were all firing the Ming army's cannons, and the gunmen and spear shield soldiers of the Lushun army also entered within 60 meters early.

"Stop" the Arimei Army officer called to stop: "Move left and right, shoot freely."

Everyone moved back and forth, and the spear and shield soldiers raised their shields to guard against the arrows above.

After the gunmen loaded the bullets, they shot at random.

Bang, bang, bang, the scene was filled with white mist, and countless gunmen were finally able to fire.

The effect of bows and arrows at this distance is actually not great, but Hou Jinsheng is condescending, and when the bows and arrows are shot down, they are still a bit threatening.

But the guns of the Ming army can also hit them, and they are more powerful than them.

The key point is that Ding Yi is lucky today. They are facing the wind, and the bows and arrows on the city are against the wind. If the wind is against the wind, the power of the arrows will drop a lot with the distance.

The two sides shot at each other under the city.

Arrows bounced back and forth, and people screamed and fell down from time to time.

Some of the Lushun army were shot, and some of the Hou Jin army were also shot.

Houjin had the advantage of the city wall, so it was difficult to hit, but the Lushun army was downwind and protected by shields, so it was not easy to be shot.

Then no one dared to stand more than ten meters in the middle of the Jincheng wall, because the artillery of the Ming army was hitting the city gate.

Another few tens of meters began to be crowded with many archers.

The Lushun army has a wide area, and all 60 musketeers are within [-] meters in front of the city gate.

But the gunners are now shooting freely, and they have been taught how to fight before the battle.

The blunderbussmen of the Ming army were not easy to shoot the blunderbuss. After loading the medicine, they held up the blunderbuss and looked at it. A Han army appeared on the top of the city and wanted to shoot something.

As soon as the Han army took the lead, they were shot seven or eight guns in an instant, and died quite tragically.

After dozens of Han soldiers were killed, the Han soldiers behind all learned to be smart. They didn't dare to poke their heads out easily, and threw arrows directly down without aiming.

But today, against the wind, the accuracy of the projectile is even worse.

The archers of the Han army were quickly suppressed behind the city wall by the firecrackers of the Ming army, and no one dared to show their heads easily.

The two sides came and went, shooting at each other, each with casualties, but the casualties of the defending army gradually surpassed that of the attacking Ming army, which is rare in sieges.

Suddenly, there was a burst of cheers from below. It turned out that the people had finally thrown away the sandbags, and they all turned around and ran away.
