"Woo......"

A low whimper whistled through the air, and then an eighteen-pound solid projectile slammed into the gate tower mountain, accompanied by a huge crash and a scream, the already crumbling city gate tower finally collapsed.

Gao Yingxiang, who had already fled to the nearby battlements in advance, looked at the dust raised in the sky, and his face was very ugly.

Huang Long, who had been guarding him, helped him up and persuaded: "King Chuang, the artillery fire of the officers and soldiers is too fierce, you better go down and avoid it!" ”

"Hide?"

Gao Yingxiang pointed to the surrounding rogues who were desperately cowering in the corner, eager to stuff themselves into the cracks of the ground, and smiled bitterly: "Look at them, now that I am here, they are still like this, if I hide under the city wall, what do you think they will do?" ”

Huang Long was silent, and now the morale of the rogues in Mengjin City was on the verge of collapse, if it weren't for the fact that all the Ming troops outside had no way to escape, I am afraid that they would have dispersed in a hurry.

Since this morning, there have been many rogues who can't resist the pressure and try to escape into the city to hide, all thanks to Huang Long and other leaders with a group of old camp henchmen, and cut off the heads of more than a dozen rogues who tried to escape, which barely maintained the situation, this is still Gao Yingxiang under the supervision of the scene, if Gao Yingxiang leaves, Huang Long can be sure that at most a quarter of an hour the rogues on the city wall will run out.

Huang Long didn't speak, he poked his head out of the battlements and just wanted to take a look at the situation outside, but when he just poked his head out, his face suddenly changed, and he saw a black cannonball flying towards him.

Before he could react, he saw a cannonball hit the city wall not far from them, and then bounced to the side, only for Huang Long to clearly see that the cannonball seemed to be still flashing.

Huang Long turned around and threw Gao Yingxiang to the ground, and yelled in his mouth: "It's not good, hurry up and take it off!" ”

Accompanied by the sound of Huanglong, a huge explosion sounded, and Gao Yingxiang, who was lying on the ground, only felt that the ground and the surrounding city walls were shaking, his ears were buzzing, and the whole person was almost out of breath.

He tried hard to pinch his neck, trying to breathe more fresh air, but all he inhaled into his nose was the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke and dust, and the process was extremely difficult.

He slowly opened his eyes and struggled to get up, only to find that Huang Long, who had just protected himself, was lying on the ground with a sallow face, motionless and not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

"Brother Huanglong, Brother Huanglong! Come on, come on! ”

Gao Yingxiang roared loudly, Huang Long is his most hardcore henchman, and now he is seriously injured for him, how can Gao Yingxiang not be in a hurry.

A few rogues had just hurriedly carried Huanglong down, and one of them pointed out and shouted: "Oh no, the Ming army is going to attack the city!" ”

Gao Yingxiang poked out his head and saw a group of Ming troops in black uniforms walking towards the city wall in a neat row, and behind them were countless Ming soldiers wearing green military uniforms and helmets, carrying ladders and walking slowly, and the originally dense artillery fire suddenly stopped, and the entire city wall became silent again.

"Attention everyone...... Archer...... Archers come forward! ”

"Archers hurry over and get ready to shoot arrows!"

There was chaos on the city wall, and a famous archer was kicked and beaten by their respective leaders and rushed to the battlements, shouting that they were ready to shoot arrows with their bows and arrows to fight back the attack of the Ming army!

"You all have to remember that if you really let the Ming army rush to the city wall, those old and weak women and children may still be alive, but we all have to die, don't forget what you have done these days? We are anti-thieves, and it is light to cut off our heads in the hands of the government, and it is not an exaggeration to cut them with a thousand knives, so don't think that you can get through! One of the leaders shouted with a steel knife on his face.

"Ready...... Ready..."

A famous archer took the arrow from the quiver at his waist and put it on the bowstring to shoot the arrow, although the range of their bow was only about 100 paces, but with the height of the city wall they could shoot a distance of 200 paces, which was the advantage of being in a good position.

"Okay, the Ming army is coming, wait until they get close and listen to my command, and shoot arrows immediately. Whoever dares to come up with any moths, don't blame me for being polite! ”

Although the archers on the city wall had already panicked, they had to keep an eye on the Ming army under the leader's order, and one arrow after another was also on the bowstring.

Gao Yingxiang stared at the Ming army wearing black clothes at the front, and always felt that something was wrong in his heart, these Ming soldiers were burly and fierce, and they looked stronger than the ordinary Jiangning army, it was obvious that they were not ordinary Ming troops, what were they going to do?

But it doesn't matter, just wait for them to reach two hundred paces, and their own archers will teach them to behave well.

But to his great surprise, the black-clad soldiers stopped when they were three hundred paces away from the wall, and then raised their firearms and aimed them at the wall.

"What are they going to do, how can the firebolt hit as far as possible?"

Gao Yingxiang was nervous at first, but then couldn't help laughing.

After having dealt with the Ming army so much, he knew very well that the range of the Ming army's firearms was only about eighty paces at most, and no matter how far it went, it would be no more accurate, not to mention, its power would be greatly reduced, and it would have no lethality at all.

The Ming army stopped at this distance, and although the bows on the city walls could not shoot that far, they were the same, so their actions were meaningless.

It's just that after laughing, Gao Yingxiang's heart was tight, the commander of the Jiangning Army was the world-famous Xinguo Gong Yang Feng, he was not stupid, and he would definitely not do such a shameful thing, which shows that the Ming army below must have ......

"Bumper ......"

Before Gao Yingxiang's mind could turn a corner, he heard a low sound of fire.

Accompanied by the sound of gunfire, there were also screams from the city wall, Gao Yingxiang clearly saw that several archers who were originally standing at the mouth of the battlement either had blood on their chests or heads, or fell to the ground or clutched their chests and let out terrible screams, and he could even hear a few lead bullets over his head and hit the city wall with a crackling sound.

"How is that possible? How did the Ming army's guns fight so far? ”

Gao Yingxiang was stunned by lightning strikes, the Ming army's fire guns had such a long range, their archers couldn't play a role at all, and the Ming army could even rely on these fire guns to suppress them to death, so that this seemingly tall city wall had lost its meaning.

"Is it really heaven that wants to destroy me?"
