129 Break 7

When groups of indigenous warriors were shirtless, shouting slogans in their mouths, and dragging several behemoths step by step towards the Bengang camp, it had been nearly half a day since the outer city of Bengang was occupied by the natives.

During this time, the natives did not do anything other than carry out the demolition work except wielding iron catalpa, wooden hammers and other instruments, not even a tentative attack.

On the inner city wall, Zhao Xingdou and the others, who had not been slackened, inevitably turned a little blue at this time, and they had imagined countless scenes of the natives attacking the city in their minds, but none of them could be compared with the current scene.

Even Zhao Xingdou and Wu Hu wondered if there were traitors in Bengang who were giving advice to the natives, otherwise how could it be that in just two or three years, this group of guys who couldn't even make a chair at the beginning had now created such a behemoth.

Although in order to facilitate transportation, the siege tower at this time was dragged forward by groups of natives, but Zhao Xingdou and other people who were looking condescendingly still saw it clearly.

"It seems that we underestimated the wisdom of this group of natives!" Zhao Xingdou blushed his face, and at this time he thought in his heart that this defensive battle would no longer be an easy job: "Set up all the cannons of the Buddha, and while the natives' siege towers are not close yet, let's see if we can destroy one or two first!" ”

At the beginning, everyone actually didn't think about using such a big killing weapon as the thousand-pound franc cannon, because a cannonball was only the size of a bowl, and the lethality of the cannon smashed into the indigenous population at that time was not as great as the loss of destroying the houses in the residential areas of the camp. Therefore, at this time, the artillery on the inner city wall was erected more than the tiger squat cannon that was less useful in naval warfare.

"Tilt 30 degrees, add 1 to the amount of gunpowder, and prepare for launch!"

After observing and calculating, the observers gave the gunners an accurate shooting angle, and then the gunners, with the help of several assistants, set the artillery in place, and the shells were filled, just waiting for the next order from the officer.

"The first round of artillery, put!"

"Boom! Rumble! ”

The roar of more than ten cannons shook the entire Bengang, and thick gunpowder smoke suddenly filled the city wall, making it impossible for everyone to see the movement below for the time being.

However, the gunners did not hesitate, and immediately after a round of firing, they approached the gun, took the several hundred pounds of the Franc cannon, and then loaded another gun that had already been loaded with ammunition.

Only when the smoke clears will everyone see the results of this round of artillery firing.

The artillery bombardment was relatively accurate, and more than a dozen thousand pound Buddha cannons were aimed at a siege tower, and a few of them hit the tower's huge body. It's just that what disappoints everyone is that the cannonballs with the thickness of the bowl mouth and weighing seven or eight pounds are of course invincible when they hit the flesh and blood, and they can tear a body apart immediately. However, in the face of these siege towers, which were crudely made but not bad, the little power of the Franc cannonball met the opponent.

It cannot be said that it was unscathed, and the shells hit the wooden wall of the tower that was like a wall under the strong kinetic energy, and a few of them broke on the spot, revealing the dark planks inside, which was the result of this round of shelling.

"He, I made a good turtle shell!" Wu Hu and An Xianguo's faces changed greatly, and their words were indescribably heavy and nervous.

At this time, it seems that the Franc cannon, which was originally a major killing weapon, is probably going to fail, unless these cannons are replaced with general cannons, and the weight of a cannonball of a large general cannon can inflict a fatal blow on these siege towers.

However, after a round of shelling, the procession that was supposed to be dragging the siege towers suddenly stopped, and several of the towers were out of the effective range of the Franco's cannons, and lay there silently.

And the indigenous warriors under the city are not in a hurry, except for the hundreds of natives who have been doing the demolition work, the other indigenous warriors are not in a hurry to go in and out of the dwellings, and then carry and carry bags of supplies back to their temporary camps.

At this time, Zhao Xingdou and the others still didn't understand what this group of demolition natives planned to do, but they looked helpless.

The archers have never been idle, and now they have a condescending advantage, and the bows and crossbows in their hands are always aimed at the natives who occasionally show their figures below. It's just that their results are very few, and the city is full of dwellings, and the indigenous warriors hide in it and drill in and out, and they will not expose their bodies to the Bengang warriors for a long time. Even the natives who were engaged in the demolition work often kept a high wall facing the wall as a shield until it was finally knocked down with a few hammers and then slipped into another house.

"Hehe, with the help of these siege towers, it is no longer difficult for us to defeat Bengang this time!" The patriarchs of the clans, who had been frightened by a volley from the city at first, were now carefully examining his damage around the tower that had been set on fire. It wasn't until it was discovered that the artillery, which was once regarded as an artifact, could not help this tower, and everyone was a little more confident in attacking Bengang.

Once upon a time, when the indigenous team heard the thunderous artillery fire, everyone was like thin paper, and their combat strength suddenly lost seven or eight points. However, after a long period of contact with Bengang, more and more indigenous warriors accepted the recruitment of Bengang, and after several major battles, the mysterious veil of artillery was finally revealed, and it could no longer have that magical effect on the indigenous warriors.

"It's a pity that the people of Bengang keep the artillery technology tight, otherwise if we get a few cannons, how much effort can be saved to take down this Bengang!" Elder Dahai also sighed, although they made efforts to befriend those Bengang soldiers who knew how to fire, they still didn't know how to fire at the beginning of the war, let alone get a few sought-after artillery.

"But it's not bad to have this siege tower, if it weren't for the elder, you took precautions and came up with this method in advance, I don't know how many more soldiers we have to die before we can take this stupid port."

"Okay, let's all go back to our respective tribes, in the past two days, except for collecting supplies on the periphery of Bengang, you must not act rashly without my order. After our follow-up clansmen and allies have arrived, let's try to take this stupid port in one fell swoop! In the face of everyone's sycophants, Elder Dahai was of course relieved, but when he thought of the bustle of the inner city of Bengang standing tall and tall in front of him, he couldn't help but stagnate in his heart, before they took Bengang, they couldn't relax in the slightest: "Lei Ba, the warriors of your clan have to keep an eye on the movements of the Bengang dock for me, whether it is the team coming out of Bengang or the team planning to rush into Bengang, you have to entangle them and wait for our arrival!" ”

"Don't worry, Elder, if you reveal a person in the past, you can deduct the income of our clan!!"
