Unexpectedly, the Japanese army actually made a move, and they came to attack the city at night in a panic. Mao Wenlong didn't dare to be careless, and immediately turned around and went to the east city gate.

When Mao Wenlong arrived at the East City Gate, the sound of killing was already everywhere. Mao Wenlong was about to climb the city wall to watch the battle regardless of raising his feet, but was stopped by Hao Xiao: "Chief soldier, there is a battle going on above, or we should not go up first." ”

Mao Wenlong frowned, his sharp eyes stared directly at Haoxiao's face, and he looked down and didn't dare to look directly at him. Mao Wenlong snorted coldly, walked past Haoxiao, and strode up towards the steps of the city tower.

Haoxiao didn't dare to delay, and immediately caught up and protected Mao Wenlong. The sound of killing on the tower was louder, but Mao Wenlong didn't see any killing of the enemy as far as he could see. There was only the sound of killing but no fighting, and the situation seemed to be a little delicate.

Haoxiao's face was also full of confusion at this time, and he immediately grabbed a guard casually and asked, "What is the situation?" ”

The sergeant was startled by Hao Xiaoxiao's hideous expression, and when he came back to his senses, he hurriedly said: "General, those widows outside the city hid in the darkness and refused to show up, only shouting and shouting to kill but not coming forward at all. ”

Hao Xiao became more and more confused, let go of the sergeant and looked at Mao Wenlong, who frowned, walked straight to the edge of the city tower to pass a telescope and began to look at the dark plain outside.

The moonlight tonight is very dim, and although Mao Wenlong has a telescope in his hand, his vision is still extremely limited. You can only see within 50 paces, and you can't see it further away.

At this time, Xu Fuzuo arrived in a hurry, and he arched his hand to Mao Wenlong and said: "Chief soldier, the Japanese are very cunning, hiding out of our sight, making such a big movement but not daring to really come to attack the city. ”

Mao Wenlong put down the binoculars and sneered: "These widows are smart, they actually learn to use what we used to deal with them against us. ”

Xu Fuzuo was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he said in shock: "The chief soldier is saying that the Japanese are also harassing us, not really attacking the city?" ”

Mao Wenlong nodded and said: "It's hard to say whether the city is attacking or not, but it must be a fact to harass us." ”

Xu Fuzuo paused for a moment, hesitated and said, "Then should we send out a hot air balloon to attack those Japanese robbers?" ”

Fierce fire oil and gunpowder jars, these can be a hard blow to the Japanese in the dark. It's just that these two things are very rare, and under normal circumstances, the Dongjiang Army will not use them easily.

Mao Wenlong shook his head and smiled: "No need, in the dark night, if you want to really hit these widows, you must waste a lot of things." ”

Good steel has to be used on the blade, and fierce fire oil and gunpowder are very precious things for the Dongjiang army at this moment. Once it is easily used up and cannot be replenished later, then the next siege will not be so easy.

Xu Fuzuo hesitated for a while, but still asked: "Chief soldier, is it that we can't do anything now that we are watching like this?" Do you want to lead 3,000 dark guard battalions to fight? ”

"It's not appropriate to go into battle, the outside line of sight is limited, and the Japanese army has already laid an ambush outside. At this time, you will only fall into the hands of the Japanese army. ”

Mao Wenlong paused, and without waiting for Xu Fuzuo to speak, he continued: "If the order goes down, all the fires on the city wall will be extinguished, so that the Japanese army will not see our situation. ”

Xu Fu's eyes lit up after hearing this, and after even claiming that it was, he began to drink orders to extinguish all the fires on the city wall.

Hiding in the dark, you can clearly see the Dongjiang Army on the city wall, and that's because there is a light on the side of the Dongjiang Army. As Mao Wenlong's order was conveyed, the light on the city wall began to gradually fade out, until it was finally completely hidden in darkness.

As Mao Wenlong expected, after the light on the city wall was extinguished, the Japanese army outside the city then stopped moving. There was silence throughout the East City and beyond, and both armies were trying to find each other in the dark.

After the light on the side of the Dongjiang Army was extinguished, the sight was better, standing on the high city wall, and the situation could be vaguely seen three hundred steps away.

Mao Wenlong raised the telescope again, and this time he could easily see the widows hiding in the wild grass three hundred paces away. Mao Wenlong carefully observed for a while and found that although those wouldn't make any more noise, they also had no intention of retreating. And these pirates don't seem to know anything about what they've exposed!

Mao Wenlong suddenly sneered: "Xu Fu, transfer all the artillery in the city, this general soldier wants to teach these widows a lesson." ”

"Yes, Commander!" Xu Fuju did not delay for a moment, turned around and left in a hurry.

After Susu, fifty artillery pieces began to be placed on the walls of Dongcheng one after another with the joint efforts of the officers and men of the Dongjiang Army. Mao Wenlong had already marked the locations of the would-be robbers he saw, and gave the marked positions to Xu Fu, and Mao Wenlong waited for the show to be staged.

Fifty artillery pieces were placed at a very fast speed, and all the guns were calibrated according to the position given by Mao Wenlong. Xu Fuzuo rushed to Mao Wenlong and asked for instructions: "Chief soldier, do we use solid bullets or scattered bullets?" ”

Mao Wenlong said solemnly: "Of course, it's a scatter bomb, a distance of 300 steps, and the shot can be completely covered." ”

Xu Fuzuo didn't say much, and after receiving the order, he ordered to prepare to open fire. All this was done quietly, and under the cover of night, the Japanese army outside the city knew nothing at all.

A hideous expression gradually appeared on Xu Fu's face, and fifty pieces of artillery and fifty scattered bullets were enough to give a head-on blow to the Japanese outside the city. If you are lucky, it is not impossible to inflict a large number of casualties on the Japanese army.

At the moment of the last cannon, Xu Fuzuo asked Mao Wenlong again, and after getting affirmation, he suddenly shouted: "Ignite, fire!" ”

"Zizi ......"

The fuses of the fifty guns were ignited almost at the same time, and the sound was harsh. The fuses of the guns were very short, so the sound of Zizi had just sounded, and in the blink of an eye, it had already disappeared into the barrel.

"Boom ......"

Fifty guns were fired at almost the same time, and because it was a shelling under the darkness of the night, the shells that went out were completely invisible. Just when the Japanese army came from nowhere, in the hiding place of the Japanese army, there was a sudden continuous explosion sound. Then, the screams of the Japanese began to rise one after another.

The noisy sound suddenly revealed the hiding place of the Japanese invaders more clearly, and Mao Wenlong did not hesitate to order the artillery to be loaded again and prepare for the second bombardment.

Xu Fuzuo was naturally overjoyed, and kept urging the gunner's movements to be sharper. After more than two dozen breaths, the second round of artillery bombardment of the Dongjiang Army arrived as scheduled.
