Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 453
The defense of Zhending County is still solid, but the firepower of the Ming army in the city is not as fierce as Gao Guiying thought.The Kyushu Army, which can easily defeat the 20 army led by Li Zicheng, should have a large number of artillery.Gao Guiying had seen the firearms of the Musket Camp before. If the Kyushu Army could defeat the Musket Camp, then the firearms owned by the Kyushu Army should be similar to those of the Musket Camp. After all, the weapons of the Musket Camp were purchased from Liaodong.

Noticing this carefulness, Gao Guiying suddenly felt a little alert.

boom! ! !All of a sudden, the six cannons deployed by Lu Xiangsheng on the top of the city wall of Zhending County opened fire in unison!Two of them are bronze cannons that originally existed in Zhending County, and four cannons were brought by the Kyushu Army to strengthen Lu Xiangsheng's defensive firepower!
The heavy artillery shells crashed down on the ground, making all the soldiers of the Dashun Army attacking Zhending County feel depressed!
"Ah...!" A soldier of the Dashun Army watched the shells getting closer and closer, his body was so stiff that he couldn't react!
The bulky solid bullet hit his upper body on the ground, and the powerful impact crushed him into meat paste!The solid bullets with undiminished momentum bounced from the ground, smashing the soldiers of the Dashun Army behind them to pieces!

"Our artillery is in full swing, brothers, stick to Zhending City and let them bleed!" The soldiers of the Ming army defending the city finally raised their heads and chests with the might of their own artillery.

When Zhang Yuan commanded the Dashun Army, their Hebei Ming Army was hanged and beaten, but with the help of the Kyushu Army, they were able to suppress the Dashun Army that lost Zhang Yuan!
The artillery in Zhending County made many soldiers of the Dashun Army tremble with fear, but Gao Guiying felt a little more at ease because of it.Because the stronger the artillery fire in Zhending County, the more likely it is the troops led by Zhang Yuan!At least Gao Guiying thinks so.

"Commander, the artillery at the top of the city has scared many of our brothers. They are afraid of the artillery and dare not move forward. How should we deal with it?" the general of the Dashun Army on the front line asked Gao Guiying.

"Do we have artillery for siege?" Gao Guiying asked.

"The artillery was taken away because King Chuang was going to attack the capital, otherwise we wouldn't have besieged Luoyang for so long and couldn't capture it..." the general of the Dashun Army said with a sad face.

Without the musket battalion and the firearms provided by Liaodong merchants, their only source of firearms was the capture of outdated blunderbusses from the Ming army and bulky artillery for defending the city, and these outdated firearms were easy to explode.

"The traitor Zhang Yuan is in the city. Without artillery, he will attack Zhending City with flesh and blood. Everything must be attacked as soon as possible!" Gao Guiying gritted her teeth.

"However, many people will die in this way... Once more brothers die, the remaining brothers will shrink back and even mutiny." The general of the Dashun Army said worriedly.

"Isn't it just to die? If Zhang Yuan is not as vicious, how can we defeat him! I will personally lead the supervisory team to supervise the battle behind them, but anyone who retreats will be killed without mercy! In addition, the first climber will be named a general and rewarded with 10 taels of silver , whoever kills Zhang Yuan will receive a reward of 3 taels!" Gao Guiying said enthusiastically.

The higher the possibility of Zhang Yuan being in Zhending City, the crazier she would be, wishing to eat Zhang Yuan alive!
With Gao Guiying's bounty regardless of blood, and the supervising team holding ghost-headed swords watching from behind, the soldiers of the Dashun Army who were originally timid began to organize an offensive again.

The Ming army on the city wall also obviously felt the strong pressure brought by the Dashun army who stepped up their offensive, and they hurriedly blocked the Dashun army coming from the ants below the city.

"Arrows, arrows, hurry up!" The soldiers of the Ming army, who were hiding behind the battlements, bowed their bows and set their arrows, saying reflexively, reaching into the quiver to pull out the arrows, and found that the bows and arrows in the quiver had been shot before they knew it. , he hurriedly shouted to the auxiliary soldiers who helped defend the city.

The auxiliary soldiers avoided the bows and arrows shot up from the city, and gave the supplied bows and arrows to the archers who needed them.

There were so many Dashun troops attacking the city, Gao Guiying concentrated all the main forces she could directly control to attack Zhending County from all directions, making Lu Xiangsheng and others tired of defending from all sides.

"Push the stone down quickly, they are about to go to the city!" The Ming army guerrillas anxiously directed the Ming army soldiers at the top of the city to defend.

Several soldiers of the Ming army worked together to push a boulder down the ladder!The tumbling boulder knocked down the soldiers of the Dashun Army attached to the ants on the ladder, and there was a scream from below that ended just before it had time to utter.

"This method of attacking the city with a pile of lives is really shameful and effective." Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but see that Gao Guiying was still using the tried-and-tested crowd tactics of the peasant army.

The most feared thing in the siege is this kind of strong attack. Regardless of the attacker or the defender, the number of soldiers killed and injured every day is extremely amazing!Li Zicheng stormed Ningwu Pass before, and almost razed the Ningwu Pass, and nearly 10 people died himself.

Gao Guiying looked at the precarious Zhending City with satisfaction.As long as she continues to be ruthless, Zhending City will be captured sooner or later, and she will be able to kill enemies with blood!
In the northwest suburb of Zhending City, an infantry force of more than [-] men rushed forward.Their appearance brought about an earth-shaking change in the entire battle situation!
Hundreds of Zhang Yuan's soldiers held high Zhang Yuan's general flag, announcing that this is the real Zhang Yuan's army!And the yellow dragon flag, which symbolizes the infantry of the Kyushu Army, appeared and fluttered in the wind!

"Kyushu Army! The troops and flags of the Kyushu Army have appeared in our northwest direction, and they are approaching rapidly!" The two thousand soldiers of the Dashun Army guarding the northwest direction discovered the fast-approaching Kyushu Army troops, and rushed towards Gao Guiying's main force. Send someone to warn!
But it's too late!The morale of the troops of Liu Xingzuo, Grand Duke Karl, and Zhang Yuan was high, and they regarded the soldiers of the Dashun Army who attacked Zhending County as an easy feat!

As soon as they found the Dashun army, they pushed forward and easily defeated the [-] Dashun soldiers defending the northwest wing!
The flames flickered, and the gunshots sounded neatly!Rows of soldiers armed with rifles advance in a line. Every time they take a step, enemies who enter their range will be shot and killed by muskets!

The general of the Dashun Army who guarded the northwest direction had a mental breakdown. It's not that he didn't want to stabilize the northwest direction to give Gao Guiying time to react, but he couldn't do it!The Dashun Army rushed to attack Zhending City, and did not dig enough fortifications outside. Facing the rifles used by the Kyushu Army for long-distance shooting, there was no solution at all!Bows, arrows, guns, and guns are difficult to effectively kill soldiers of the Kyushu Army within the range of Dreiser's rifle!He can't hit the enemy, he can only be crushed and beaten by the enemy, how does this make him resist!
"Zhang Yuan, you thief, you framed us again!" Gao Guiying saw Zhang Yuan's flag appearing in the northwest direction, and the firepower was even fiercer. Then he looked at the cheering Ming army in Zhending City, and realized that he was trapped by Zhang Yuan again. up!
