Chernog City has already become weak after two hours of continuous bombardment by Daming howitzers, the city gate tower is gone, and a section of the city wall not far east of the city gate has collapsed, and the Rakshasa people behind the city wall have been waiting for a heavy shield.

"Dumbfounded, how many shells do we have?" Liu Hong gradually put down the binoculars and frowned and asked Kong Ermao, the staff general of the artillery battalion.

The gap is only two zhang wide, and it can't accommodate too many troops to attack the city together, and if the advantage of troops can't be brought into play, the damage of rashly attacking the city will increase, and Liu Hong gradually feels that he has to at least double the gap.

"Back to the prince, there are only one hundred and forty-six howitzers left, and there are still many shells for the small steel cannon." For more than two hours just now, Kong Ermao had been counting the shells to get by, so he remembered it very clearly.

"What? Just over a hundred left? What the hell are you about? How can you let Lao Tzu attack the city without cannonballs? Liu Hong gradually became angry when he heard it, and after sleeping for a while, the shells were almost gone, and the next supply would take at least seven or eight days, and this was still the case that there was no problem with the supply line.

"Lord Wang, you have to be reasonable! When the siege began at noon, I still remember what you said:

'Second stunned, did you see the city gate tower? Blow it up to the sky for me, and don't skimp on shells!

The second stunned light bombs the city gate tower and has an egg? Blast the walls for me! ’

Now you're blaming me for wasting shells again, I'm ...... I'm really more wronged than that Dou E! Kong Er was stunned, frowned twice, and stiffened his neck.

In order to save shells, he had to personally participate in the angle calibration of many artillery pieces, and also beware of a surprise attack on Chernog City that could come at any time.

After working for half an afternoon, the city gate tower was blown up by him, and the city wall also opened a gap, and the two tasks were completed, but Liu Hongjian didn't buy it, and blamed him for wasting cannonballs, how could there be such a troublemaker?

"Isn't this king just going to say two words to you, look at your bear-like! The king will not pursue the matter of the cannonballs, this gap is not big enough, this king will give you the right to use thirty more cannonballs, you can see how to double the gap. ”

Liu Hong gradually scratched his head to relieve the embarrassment, and drank some wine before going to bed, where did he remember what he said at that time.

It is also strange that Liu Hongjian often giggles and fights with his subordinates in the military camp, otherwise where would any general dare to complain in front of the prince of the dynasty.

"Can it be done?" Seeing that Kong Er was stunned and didn't say anything, Liu Hong gradually raised his eyebrows and said.

"I ...... I'll try. Kong Er was a little embarrassed, it took no less than 200 shells to open the gap before, but now he only gave 30 shells, but he had to double the gap.

"Out of breath! In the end, it will not work, no, this king will come in person! ”

"Okay! If you can't do it, I'll see you there! The second stunned man was gradually ridiculed by Liu Hong, waiting for the gap in the city wall and gritting his teeth.

It didn't take long for the artillery battalion's shelling to start again, but it wasn't like before, this time it was Kong Er who was stunned and operated the artillery himself.

Boom –

A cannon rang out, and the cannonball hit the bottom of the broken wall, and Kong Er's stunned subordinates immediately erupted in applause.

Kong Er was stunned and did not delay, directly ordered someone to load the ammunition and then continued to aim and fire, and the second shell hit the original position impartially and re-hitting, which can be regarded as letting everyone see the hard power of the artillery battalion commander.

A full four shells exploded at the same place, and finally a gap was blown out of the bottom of the broken wall, but the bottom was hollowed out, but the wall did not collapse.

Next, Kong Erzi still aimed the shells at the hollow place at the bottom and continued to bombard, and after the twenty-six shells were fired, the bottom of the broken wall had been hollowed out in several places.

It's just that the hollowing is hollowed out, but the upper part of the broken wall has not collapsed, which makes Kong Er's stunned subordinates sweat for the main officer.

But Kong Er was stunned and didn't panic at all, while signaling his subordinates to continue loading, he looked at it again with a telescope, but the sweat on his forehead and neck had already stained his clothes.

Boom –

Another cannonball, the upper part of the broken wall seemed to shake and a few bricks fell, and several artillery battalions and hundreds of household officials were about to cheer, but the city wall was very uncompetitive and did not fall.

Kong Er waved his hand in a daze to continue loading, at this time he had already ignored the reactions of others, his eyes were firmly fixed on the fulcrum at the broken wall, and he stretched out his right thumb with a telescope to correct the direction.

Boom –

The cannonball hit the fulcrum of the broken wall accurately, and then there was a loud bang, and the hollowed-out broken wall at the bottom collapsed in response, raising billowing dust.

With the cheers of his subordinates, Kong Er was stunned and rolled up his sleeves to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and then went to Liu Hong with heavy steps.

"The cannon is good, and the king will reward you with a chicken leg at night!" Liu Hongjian naturally did not hesitate to praise him.

Kong Er was stunned and grinned when he heard this.

Following Liu Hong's gradual expedition to the east and west, everyone also knows that although Liu Hongjian said that rewarding chicken legs is really rewarding chicken legs, it can also be regarded as a name in the merit book, if he goes back alive to become an official and become a knight, everything is possible.

"Don't be in a hurry, it's not over yet!

Did you see the shield soldiers? Boom on them!

Babala, you should also prepare, and when the enemy formation is in chaos, immediately launch a charge!

Su Ketu, Lin He, Lu Haibo, the three of you each led 20,000 troops to attack the other three city gates, and you don't need to attack the city, just surround it from afar, if someone raids, grenades are waiting! Liu Hong gradually began to give orders to his subordinates.

The size of Chernog City is much larger than that of Erkou City, and in addition to the refugees and defeated soldiers from the surrounding small cities have all poured into this city, there are more than 60,000 Rakshasa soldiers in the city alone, and the number of civilians is more than 100,000.

Lin He, Lu Haibo looked at each other and was silent when they heard this, as the official generals of the empire, they were very disgusted by the massacre of civilians.

But they also know that this is the right thing to do, the people of Rakshasa are fierce, and if they want to conquer this land completely, they can only be more iron-blooded than them.

At this time, the Marquis Vasily in the city had already had red eyes, and the city defense of Chernog City did not last a day, which was something that the Marquis Vasily did not expect at all.

Daming's artillery is really too domineering, and even Moscow City is estimated to be unable to last for two days, but there is no point in considering these at this time.

"Sir Guy Ritchie, is Westside sure of breaking through?" Marquis Vasily asked.

Although he vowed to live and die with Chernog City before the city defense battle, it was only to stabilize the morale of the army, if this new force of the empire really died in his hands, the Rakshasa Kingdom would not be able to continue to resist the attack of the Ming army in a short time.

"Your Excellency Marquis, there is a musket battalion of the Ming army outside the city, there are quite a few of them, I am afraid it will be difficult to break through!" Guy Ritchie was embarrassed.

"Pass on my military order, if the eastern city can't be defended, except for the 18,000 people directly under me, everyone else will break through from the western city!" Vasily's voice was a little heavy.

He had to save his strength as much as he could, just ...... Alas! Vasily glanced at the broken wall, still shouting trumpets and holding up heavy shields, and sighed.

"But......" Guy Ritchie said that it was better to let him stay, but at this moment the artillery outside the East City began to roar again, and directly choked back the words from his mouth.

The cannonballs bloomed directly between the heavy shield camps of the Rakshasa Country, and only one heavy shield formation composed of thousands of people had already been blown apart by the roar, and many soldiers had begun to retreat in fear.

Guy Ritch gave Vasily a military salute, then glanced at the rest of his comrades before running towards his troops.

At the same time, outside the eastern city wall, Baba and more than 20,000 Ming cavalry had long been unable to hold back.

"By me, charge! Take Chernog City! ”
