And the people in the town originally watched the Xingtian army lined up outside the town, and when they were about to start attacking the ancient town, they all began to fall into despair, because they had never seen such a fierce thief army, and the thief army outside the town in front of them still looked like an ordinary thief army! Even among all the officers and soldiers they had seen, they had never seen such a majestic general, so they were all so frightened that their legs and stomachs trembled, and some of the people who were forcibly pulled up to the fortress wall, even if they wanted to lose their hands and flee back to the town, anyway, these thieves did not come to them, and they could not be nailed here to die.

But at this time, they saw these two groups of reinforcements coming from both sides of the ancient town, and many people breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that the ancient town was finally saved, so the defenders even if they were fighting chicken blood, they came to the momentum again, and stood on the castle wall one by one and cheered, and some people simply knelt on the castle wall, clasped their hands together and thanked God for blessing, in short, these two groups of reinforcements gave the people in the ancient town great psychological comfort, and felt that they were finally saved.

But the next situation made them suddenly fall from the clouds into the ice cellar, they just had a burst of joy, then they saw the formation of the outside of the town of the thief army divided into two generals, head-on towards the reinforcements at both ends of the town rushed over, head-on blocked these two reinforcements, not long after hearing a ping-pong popping bean-like sound, and then saw the two teams of reinforcements on both sides of the horse fell to the ground in front of the front, and immediately became chaotic, and then the two thieves began to take turns to fire with birds, The two groups of reinforcements were chickens and dogs, and after a while, they became a pot of porridge, and then they were hit by these two bandits, and they came to a rout on the spot, and the frightened villagers fled in all directions like a girl, and there was no longer the kind of menacing posture that had been at the beginning.

So the people on the wall of the town fort opened their mouths wide on the spot, and looked at the scene outside the town in amazement, and they were dumbfounded for a while.

After defeating the two reinforcements, these thieves outside the town did not wave their troops to cover the killing, but quickly turned around and returned to their main formation, rejoining the thieves outside the town, and once again recovering the same lineup as when they came.

Even the inspection of the ancient town at this time, they panicked, and the timid people fled off the fort wall of the town even if they were frightened, turned around and fled off the fort wall of the town, panicked around the town, and began to find a place to hide, originally the people in the town did not know what was happening outside, but when these fugitives escaped from the fort wall, they figured out the situation outside, so the people of the town bombed the camp and became chaotic again.

Xiao Tianjian looked at the situation in the town, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he waved his hand towards the west gate of the ancient town.

This time, in order to test the power of this three-pounder cannon, Xiao Tianjian can be said to have wasted the power of the two tigers, so the cannon went over the mountains and mountains to Yuanqu County, and pulled the cannon along the way, ran for more than a hundred miles, and came to the outside of the ancient town, and it was finally its turn to go into battle.

The yellow and clear cannon body was polished by the gunners, and it emitted a kind of dazzling light in the sun, which made people feel its murderous aura.

At the same time, in order to facilitate the march, the rest of the Fulong machine guns were not brought, only brought a batch of tiger squat guns, and ten nine-headed birds, although Xiao Tianjian has always been dissatisfied with the range power of the tiger squat cannon, but in the mountain warfare, it is more convenient to use this kind of tiger squat cannon, the cannon body is very light, only less than fifty pounds in weight, mules and horses are very convenient, even if it is carried by manpower, four people carry a tiger squat cannon in the mountains is enough to walk like flying, does not affect the mobility of the army in the mountains.

When I saw that the Xingtian Army launched the cannon, these defenders of the ancient town were even more frightened and pale, I don't know what to do, the ancient town as a small town, although the business is relatively developed, but the equipment is not special, just a few bowl cannons are placed on the wall of the town, which is usually used to deter ordinary thieves, but in the face of the well-armed Xingtian Army, these weapons in their hands are simply not worth it. As a result, the inspection of the ancient town, including his men, was even more frightened.

After being commanded by Xiao Tianjian, a high-voiced soldier immediately ran to the gate of the town with a brass roll of horn, and shouted at the people on the fort wall: "The people of the ancient town have listened! We, the Heavenly Army, are here, asking for money but not for life, as long as you lay down your arms and surrender, we will not kill anyone! If we don't stop, we're welcome! This is the last warning, I order you to wait for the best to make a quick decision, Hugh will miss your life! ”

After listening to the thief's roar, without saying a word, he picked up a hard bow and aimed it at the thief outside the town and pulled the bow and put an arrow, but it was a pity that the shouter stood too far, and his arrow still missed, and even the slightest hair did not hurt the persuader, and flew out diagonally and stuck it in the ground.

Xiao Tianjian saw that someone was releasing arrows, so he didn't talk nonsense anymore, and then waved his hand again, and several rows of firecrackers holding bird guns immediately advanced towards the town side by side.

Looking at the thief army pushed like a wall, the defenders on the fortress wall suddenly became even more confused, and under the order of the inspection, they prepared bows and arrows, loaded artillery, and prepared to resist.

There was only a roar, and the three-pounder cannon immediately jumped, spitting out a cloud of smoke, and in an instant, there was a muffled sound on the gate of the town, and the thick wooden gate, when it was blasted out of a hole the size of a sea bowl, the smashed wood chips crackled and fell into the doorway, and the people in the town were shocked.

"Bow down!" In the hands of the firecracker, an officer stood straight on the right side of the queue with a goose feather knife in his hand, and shouted loudly.

The first row of firecrackers immediately put down the bird guns on their shoulders and began to load the ammunition in a neat manner......

"Aim!" When the officer saw that the soldiers had finished loading, he immediately shouted loudly again.

The gunners immediately flattened the guns in their hands, placed the brackets under the guns on the ground as support, and the guns came up to the stage, pressed the butt of the gun tightly on their shoulders, and their cheeks were also on the side of the gun, squinted their eyes, and began to aim at the fort wall of the town.

The inspector saw that the thieves armed with bird guns were sixty steps away, so he stopped, and began to load and aim, although he was panicked, but after all, he was also a person with a little military common sense, and he understood the range and power of this weapon, so when he saw the thief army outside the town at such a distance, he stopped, began to aim, and immediately shouted at his men on the fortress wall: "Don't be afraid of them, these thieves are bluffing, and they can't hit us at such a distance!" Get up and shoot arrows for me! … Ahh

Before he finished speaking, the firecrackers outside the town were under the command of the officers, and the firecrackers in the first row opened fire together, and suddenly there was a ping-pong sound outside the town.

Dozens of projectiles rained down on the town's fort wall, and before the town's inspection was finished, he was immediately hit by several bullets, and several blood flowers rose up on his upper body, and he was beaten to the ground and fell on the castle wall.

Although the poor inspector knew some about the situation of the birds, he did not know about the birds of the Xingtian Army, and miscalculated the power of the birds used by the Xingtian Army, and as a result, he jumped up and down while standing on the fortress wall, which happened to be the first target of the Xingtian Army's firecrackers, and many people aimed the birds at this inspection, and killed this inspection on the castle wall on the spot.

Originally, the defenders in the town were already frightened and soft-footed, and they all counted on this inspection in the town to soothe people's hearts, but they didn't think that this had just started the war, and the inspection was beaten into a sieve on the spot, and the dead could not die anymore, and the rest of the defenders and the villagers suddenly completely blew up the nest, and in the sound of birds like popping beans outside the town, they fled off the wall one by one, and rushed towards the gate at the other end of the town.

Fighting like this, Xiao Tianjian has found some experience, that is, the siege of the city must be convulsed, and the entire town cannot be trapped to death, and it is always necessary to leave a passage for the other party to escape, so as to avoid the enemy being forced to fight a trapped beast, and they fight to the death, like this tactic, not only is the Xingtian army in use, it is said that it is also a common method used by the Jiannu army to deal with some towns in the Ming Dynasty, today Xiao Tianjian led his troops to attack the ancient towns, and also used this method, only led the troops to attack the West Gate, But the east gate of the ancient town was set aside.

Now the patrol of the town is dead, and the soldiers under his command have no fighting spirit, and they abandon the town gate and the town wall in a swarm, and run towards the east gate, and the people in the town along the way also learned the news, and under the fright, they followed these routs and fled to the east gate in a swarm.

Although there were also a small number of soldiers left at the east gate, they couldn't stop them when they saw so many people fleeing to the east gate, and they heard that the inspection was dead, so these soldiers guarding the east gate had no intention of fighting, so they immediately opened the east gate and fled out of the east gate in a swarm.

This battle can be said to start quickly and end quickly, in an hour, the Xingtian army defeated two reinforcements, and killed the patrol guarding the town, and attacked the town.

Looking at the messy streets of the ancient town, Xiao Tianjian couldn't help but feel happy, speaking of which is an important town in Yuanqu County, but he didn't expect it to be so easy to fight, the first shows the laxity of the local garrison in Yuanqu County at present, and it also shows the fierceness of the Xingtian Army at the moment, with the current field ability and equipment level of the Xingtian Army, against the average opponent, it is really not afraid of them.
