Mara stood at the head of the western city, and when she saw the soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army approaching the city wall, she was a little panicked in her heart, could it be that the Heavenly Mandate Army directly began to attack the city?

He didn't know that the Mandate of Heaven Army had come up from the sea and had been resting in the open sea of the township official wharf for half a day.

Sensing that the Mandate of Heaven was about to attack the city, he hurriedly shouted: "Quick, prepare to shoot!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Nearly 100 Manchu defenders approached the battlement, the arrows were on the bowstring, and the line of sight peeked out from the battlement, they were the best archers, no need to measure, with experience, with the eyes can measure the approximate distance.

They seem to be natural marksmen and are sensitive to the range of bows and arrows.

The Mandate of Heaven Army was getting closer and closer, and Mara was concentrating, and some of the soldiers had already begun to repress, slightly opening their bowstrings, just waiting for the Mandate Army to enter the range of the bow and arrow and die.

These stupid Han people, wearing strange light blue clothing, not the kind of armor common to the Ming army, as long as they enter the range of bows and arrows, with the strength of the warrior gate, they should be able to shoot through the pair.

The Mandate of Heaven army under the city seemed to sense the danger and stopped a hundred paces away.

Mara beat her chest and sighed, if these Han people advance a little more, even if it is twenty steps, they will enter the range of some warriors, a hundred steps, for a bow and arrow, it is too far!

Didn't these Han people come to die?

Mara suddenly found that the soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven under the city did not carry siege equipment, not even a ladder, could it be that they were just soldiers covering the rear siege of the city?

Just as Mara was frustrated, the guns rang out, and the bullets whizzed towards the battlements with unimaginable speed.

Although Mara had never seen the Xining rifle, she felt about the same, and hurriedly turned sideways to hide behind the city wall, but she was still half a step behind.

He was shot in the right shoulder, first feeling numbness, then a piercing pain, and as soon as his fingers loosened, the arrow fell, smashing against the riding boots on the top of his feet......

Mara ignored the pain, and her body jerked, hiding completely behind the wall, so that she could avoid the next wave of bullets.

But the soldiers, whose heads were exposed in the battlements, ready to release arrows from the city, were not as lucky as Mara.

In Mara's eyes, the city has become a slaughterhouse for cattle, and the dead soldiers, as quiet as sheep whose necks have just been cut, their bodies are constantly twitching, and the wounded soldiers are crawling and crying, the instinct for survival, they want to crawl back to the city, and the open space behind them is dragging a long string of blood......

It's not that they don't want to fight, but they lose the ability to fight!

Mara pressed hard against the wound, but blood seeped out of her leather armor and ran down her fingers and wrists, slowly flowing into the cuffs......

He scolded: "The Han dog is despicable, he will use conspiracy and tricks, and release the gun from such a distance, and there is a kind of waiting for Lao Tzu to go out of the city, and he will see the real chapter immediately......"

Mara suddenly felt that this sentence could make people laugh off their big teeth, the city gate was locked from the inside, not that the Mandate of Heaven army would not let him out of the city, but that he would not dare to go out of the city!

But this does not prevent him from contemptuous of the Han people, except for intrigues, the battlefield is a sheep to be slaughtered, as long as he slashes his neck, it is his military exploits......

He had always sighed that there were too few opportunities to fight the Han Chinese, but today......

The warrior gate did not have a chance to release arrows, and the Han dog had been standing outside the range of the bow and arrow, and he was really cowardly as a mouse!

Mara stuck behind the city wall, except for hearing the whistling of bullets, he could no longer see the situation under the city, but the situation at the head of the city, he could see it clearly, which made him very worried, and the warrior gate lost dozens of people......

Sporadic bullets would still fly up from the battlements of the city wall, but the warriors all took refuge behind the city wall and no longer had to worry about the firearms of the Han dogs.

He continued to despise the Han dog in his heart, if the warrior gate used a bow and arrow, it was completely possible to use the method of projectile, even if he hid behind the city wall, he could not completely dodge the bow and arrow, the Han dog was the Han dog!

Xu Renlong didn't know that the defender in the city was Mara, let alone figure out Mara's thoughts, with rifles and howitzers in hand, he wanted to tear down the city wall and kill all the Tartars in the city......

There was no longer a human figure on the city, and knowing that the living Tartars were hiding behind the walls, he asked the soldiers to shoot as many bullets as possible, and only used sporadic bullets to suppress the Tartars on the city.

Xu Renlong's gaze had already been aimed at twenty howitzers.

finally borrowed a howitzer, and I had to make the Tartars have a sense of awe for Huaxia! The emperor said that as long as the Tartars have a sense of awe for Huaxia, they will surrender on the battlefield in the future, and even serve Huaxia like the Mongols.

It seems that there is no need anymore, these Tartars in Gaizhou City are about to return to their immortal heaven.

Xu Renlong glanced at the city again, then waved his hand and said coldly: "The gunman stops shooting and fires!"

"Yes, Commander!" The soldier had just taken two steps, and suddenly stopped, "Commander, do you need mountain cannons for the remaining three city gates......?"

"Isn't the howitzer the best military order when it goes off?"

"My subordinates understand!" The herald saluted and ran away.

The artillery came from Tianjin along with the howitzers, and they had already preliminarily debugged the howitzers, and when they received the military order to open the artillery, they directly loaded the flowering shells into the chambers and immediately began firing.

"Boom...... Long ......"

The explosion was just around the corner, deafening and shattering the eardrums.

A cannonball blew up a crater less than twenty paces in front of Mara, and Mara was not injured, but she felt pushed by an invisible hand, and her ears were filled with hot air, like wild bees burrowing into it, making a "buzzing" sound.

Mara was stunned, and she could still see the shells flying over the city walls, blowing up craters on the city's head, but she couldn't hear the sound.

The head of the city was like a silent movie, and the wounded soldiers were rolling, their lips moving, but they did not scream.

What's wrong with them, did they blow up the pipes...... Mara suddenly felt that something was wrong, it was impossible for all of these people to hurt their throats.

Mara let go of the wound on her shoulder and ran her fingers at the piercings on both sides, but she still couldn't hear a sound.

Enraged, he grabbed one of the soldiers and shouted, "What happened? ”

The soldier was terrified and screamed in a hurry, but in Mara's eyes there were only lips that flew up and down, and only buzzing in his ears, like countless little people fighting.

"Why can't I hear me?" Mara's heart completely fell into the abyss, and she was about to scold a few words to vent her anger, when two guards hugged her, "Lord Ezhen, go quickly!"

Mara still couldn't hear it, but he could feel the anxiety of the guards, and their faces were undisguised with fear!

The guards didn't care about Mara's thoughts, so they let the adults leave the city first, and then they said that there was no safe place on the city, and it was not okay to hide behind the city walls, and they saw with their own eyes that a warrior leaning behind the city walls, after being shelled, flew one leg into the air, and then a small rain of flesh and blood......

Xu Renlong also couldn't hear the screams of the city, the distance was too far, and it was covered by the explosion of the flowering shells, but he estimated that there would not be many living Tartars on the city, so he decisively issued a military order to let the artillerymen concentrate on the flowering shells and bombard the city wall!

Zhou Fengwu was idle and bored, and he was worried that Xu Renlong would not return the artillery he borrowed, so he rushed to Gaizhou City with his soldiers.

Xu Renlong raised his eyes to look at the sun halfway up the mountain, and said lightly: "Master Zhou also came to join in the fun?" ”

Zhou Fengwu said with a smile: "Don't dare, how dare you rob Commander Xu of his military merits?" The lowly duty is to see when the howitzer can be repaired, but the lowly duty is in a hurry!"

"Ahem, ahem...... The howitzer may have been repaired," Xu Renlong coughed twice, but his face did not change color, "It's true that the repair is done, you still have to test the gun, and before the howitzer comes out of the firearms bureau, isn't it the same to test the gun...... Haha......"

Zhou Fengwu saw that most of the flowering shells fell on the city wall, and he felt distressed, "Commander Xu, this howitzer has almost tried, right?" ”

"Master Zhou is right, it's almost, it's not much, it's not much," Xu Renlong pointed to the crumbling city wall in front of him, "If the howitzer can't even destroy such a city wall, then it needs to be repaired again...... Division Commander Zhou rest assured, this commander borrowed for one day, this is only an hour, if there is a day, I am afraid that even Fuzhou City will be broken. ”

"Commander Xu, that's not good, absolutely not, even if you cut off the head of the lowly position, the lowly position doesn't dare to agree," Zhou Fengwu was in a hurry, maybe it wouldn't take long to attack Fuzhou City, but Gaizhou to Fuzhou, not to mention a hundred miles, it would take at least two days to transport, one back and forth...... "Commander Xu is the Hou Ye, and you have to count when you speak!"

"Commander Zhou, rest assured, this commander will not make it difficult for you," Xu Renlong wanted to attack Fuzhou City with howitzers, but he knew that Zhou Fengwu would never agree, fortunately, after taking Gaizhou, he would attack Fuzhou in the south again, and there was no need to worry about encountering enemies on both sides, "After a while, the city will be broken, even if the howitzer passes the test, the North Sea Fleet will continue to attack the city, and Division Commander Zhou can take the howitzer away, there will be official roads along the way, and he will not miss the time." ”

Zhou Fengwu relieved his mind at this time, he already understood Xu Renlong's thoughts: use howitzers to blow up the city wall!" Commander Xu, can you blow up the city gate with gunpowder? ”

"The commander has already been checked, the four city gates in Gaizhou are all iron gates, and the gunpowder bag can't be exploded at all," Xu Renlong narrowed his eyes and muttered: "The howitzer is really a good thing, I just tried a few shots, and the city wall is in danger, if you bomb it for a day, it will ......."

Zhou Fengwu gave a roll of eyes in his heart, obviously he was attacking Gaizhou City with howitzers, what else did he say about testing artillery? Bombing for a day? How many flowering bombs do you have? He said with a smile: "Commander Xu also said just now that the howitzer has almost been tried, I don't know how long it will be left?" ”

"Immediately," Xu Renlong said with a straight face: "Master Zhou, rest assured, it will definitely be less than a day......

At this moment, a loud noise was heard, and the west wall of Gaizhou City suddenly collapsed for more than ten battles, and the corpses of several Tartars fell from the city, and a huge gap appeared in the city wall......

Xu Renlong laughed and said, "Division Commander Zhou, the howitzer has been debugged, everything is normal, you can take the howitzer and go!"

Zhou Fengwu: "......"

Xu Renlong didn't care about Zhou Fengwu's surprised expression, he suddenly pulled out his waist knife, leaned up to the sky, and shouted: "The city wall has collapsed, brothers, attack the city!"

"Bully the Tartars!" The gunners, who had just come to their senses, rushed in line towards the gap in the city wall.

Autumn wind and falling leaves!

The Tartars had been frightened by the continuous sound of cannons, and basically lost the ability to resist, Xu Renlong met with Huang Yinen outside the East City in the city, and Huang Yinen laughed and said: "Commander, the range of the Xining rifle is too far, the brothers packed up the remnants of the Tartar, and there were almost no injuries...... The emperor is really not thin on the North Sea Fleet!"

"You are stupid, the emperor has already arranged it, the Xining rifle is for the recovery of southern Liaoning," Xu Renlong glared at Huang Yinen, "Don't go search the city quickly, if you escape a Tartar, the Tartars in the city of Fuzhou will be prepared!"

"Yes!" Huang Yinen had just taken two steps, but stopped again, "Commander, some Tartars are already scared stupid and have not resisted......"

Xu Renlong thought for a moment, and finally said: "We still have to attack Fuzhou and Jinzhou, and we don't have the energy to manage the prisoners of war, so let's kill them, which Tartar's hands are not stained with the blood of the Han people?" ”

"Subordinates understood!" Huang Yinen saluted, and then waved his hand, "Brothers, continue to search for the Tartars, and leave no one behind!"
