I saw that the first strong crossbow on the tower of the city gate was shot down.

Below, a shield was erected. Bang, the strong crossbow shot on the shield, knocking the Han soldier with the shield staggering, which shows how powerful this strong crossbow is.

Then, several more powerful crossbows were fired.

Cao Wen immediately let the big shield come up, and the soldiers behind all used small shields to defend. However, the musketeers could not be idle, and under the cover of large shields, fired at the city gates.

With a snap of gunshots, the city gate tower fell down to an archer who fired a powerful crossbow, fluttered and fell to the ground, and in a short time fainted and bleed from under him.

Then there was another burst of gunfire, and several more Tarnu soldiers fell from the gates. At this time, the arrows of the strong crossbow are no longer dense.

The Tatar soldiers on the tower of the city gate saw the power of the muskets, so they had to sit and hide first.

And the Han soldiers underground were also injured because of the power of the crossbow, but none died. After all, they have shields for cover. The Tarnu army, on the other hand, had to poke out its body for archery. This also gave the musketeers hiding behind their shields a chance to shoot.

The mutual firing between the two sides soon ended in this way, and according to the deaths, the Tatar soldiers died a dozen people, while the Han army only took a few people, and there was no big problem.

In general, it was the Han army's musket army that won.

The Tatar guards on the tower of the city gate did not dare to let the crossbow fire anymore when they saw this scene. Because the effect is not good, there will be casualties. The main thing now is to keep the city gates.

He thought about it, and immediately led most of the strong crossbow archers down the city gate.

By this time, the Tarnu garrison had already led the soldiers to close the iron gates of the uniformly made city.

"Well done." The other Tatar guard who came down said in praise.

The Tatar garrison asked, "Brother, how is the situation above?" ”

Another Tatar general recounted what had just happened.

The Tatar army guard said: "The musket of this Han army is powerful, but it's a pity that our court can't do it." ”

The other Tatar general nodded and said, "Not really. ”

The Tatar garrison continued: "Brother, I guess it's time for the Han army to bombard the city gates with artillery. ”

Another Tarno general nodded and said, "That's right, it's good that we still have the Iron Gate. ”

"It seems that this Lunta General is prescient!" The Tatar garrison said with a sigh.

As he spoke, he heard the sound of artillery, followed by a violent shaking of the city gates. The sound of shaking is also earth-shattering, and it is very terrifying.

The two Tarno guards were taken aback at the same time.

"The Han army has begun to bombard." The other Tatar guard said with some consternation.

The Tatar general said, "Yes, it's scary! ”

Another Tatar garrison immediately began to ask the crossbow archers to open their bows and aim at the city gates, and if the Han army blasted the city gates open, they immediately fired crossbows outside the city gates to block the Han army's footsteps into the city.

Not only crossbow archers, but even rocketeers, ordinary archers are ready to shoot at this time. And those elite infantry were waiting in the back, preparing for this hand-to-hand combat with the Han army.

Boom, boom......

I saw that the iron gate shook violently.

The Tatar army guard said tremblingly: "I don't know if this iron city gate can block the artillery of this Han army!" ”

Another Tatar army guard said, "I have already sent someone to Qinyang Town to ask for support. ”

The Tatar army guard said: "Okay, it must be a request for help, otherwise this Zhangzhou City may not be guaranteed!" ”

Another Tatar army guard said: "Qinyang Town is seventy miles away from this continent, and it will take half a day to come to the reinforcements at the earliest!" ”

The Tarnu garrison asked, "That is, we are going to stay here for half a day." ”

"yes, that's what I meant." The other Tatar guard nodded.

The Tatar garrison pouted and said, "Then it depends on how long this iron city gate can last." ”

Another Tatar garrison said, "Brother, this iron gate is a three-inch iron plate, and it is estimated that there is no problem. ”

"I hope so!" The Tatar garrison said.

Boom, boom......

After a few loud bangs, it stopped.

The Tatar army guard looked at the other Tatar army guard and said, "The Han army is no longer fighting." ”

Another Tarnu general said, "I guess they've discovered the Iron Gate." ”

"It must be, it seems that this cannonball can't help this iron city gate!" The Tarno garrison smiled and said. There was a slight smug look on his face.

Indeed, the Han army outside the city found that there was an iron gate after discovering this wooden city gate.

"General, what can I do about this?" Cao Wen's lieutenant asked Cao Wen.

Cao Wen also frowned, sighed and said, "It seems that this iron city gate is quite thick, and there is no change when the cannon hits!" ”

"Yes, General, this iron city gate is stronger than the iron city wall!" The adjutant general also sighed and said.

Cao Wen said: "It seems that there is no way to shell it. ”

The lieutenant general frowned and thought for a while, and then said, "General, since it is a city gate, whether it is iron or wood, the door frame is attached to the city wall. Then why don't we just bombard the junction of the iron gate and the city wall with artillery? ”

Listening to the words of this deputy general, Cao Wen thought for a while and said, "Okay, you can give this a try." Come, turn the muzzle of the cannon, and strike at the junction of the gate and the wall. ”

"Yes, General."

After a small soldier received the order, he went to the front artillery to give the order.

Then, the muzzles of the ten guns were aimed at the intersection of the Iron City Gate and the right side of the city wall.

"Launch!" A soldier who gave the order shouted loudly.

Boom, the first shell hit the junction of the iron gate and the city wall. Between where is the masonry splashes.

"Put!"

The second shot was also fired, but the stones were still splashing, and a large crater was made at the junction.

"Put!"

The third artillery again shelled the same position.

"Report." A soldier ran up to Cao Wen.

"Tell me what's going on." Cao Wen hurriedly asked.

The soldier hurriedly said, "Returning to the general, we found that there are also iron plates at the junction of the iron gate and the city wall. ”

Hearing this, Cao Wen frowned again.

"What? There's an iron plate there, too? Cao Wen asked again.

The little soldier nodded and said, "Yes, yes, we can see it clearly."

At this time, the artillery was still bombarding, but it did not get deeper, except for the pit at the junction of the iron gate and the city wall, which became larger. And you can clearly see that the pit is black pig iron.
