934 Momentum (3rd Shift)
At the head of Anshan Post Fort, a hurried alarm gong sounded immediately, and the sound of "bell bell" sounded so anxiously that it spread to every corner of the city.
In the barracks, there were many prisoners who jumped out, some of them were not in good clothes, and some of them did not even have time to put on their shoes, so they came out barefoot. With a look of panic on their faces, everyone turned to look at the city on that side.
The Ming army was going to attack Anshan Post Fort, and almost all the Jianyu knew that this day would come sooner or later. But they really didn't want to, and they were met by them on this day. Those Jianyu soldiers who were on duty in turn immediately hurried to the head of the city, some to increase the thickness of the city's troops, and some were busy carrying defensive equipment.
The garrison also hurried to the head of the city, and when he looked up to the south, he could already see the cavalry of the brigade coming this way. After fighting for such a long time, the Jianyu at this time can more or less distinguish the belonging of the Ming army from the banner. They were horrified to find that among the cavalry troops that came over, there were the Ning army, the strongest new army of the Ming Kingdom, and even the Dongjiang army. The dust that obscured the sky and the sun showed the sheer number of this army.
"Hurry, hurry, immediately hurry up and tell Liaoyang, the Ming army is coming to attack in a big way, and the number is about ...... Probably around 50,000! The general of Jianyu ordered his subordinates in a little panic, hesitated a little when estimating the number of Ming troops, and finally reported a number.
At this moment, the cavalry of the Ming Kingdom had already arrived in front of them, scattering in all directions, monitoring the movements on the head of Anshan Post Fort, and even some cavalry troops galloped near the moat, screaming and shooting arrows at the head of the city. Just like the Jianlu back then, he unscrupulously humiliated the Guanning army hiding in the city outside the city. The riding skills of these Ming troops are quite good, although they are wearing military uniforms that are no different from those of the Ming army, but the Jianlu at the head of the city knows that these people must be from the grassland!
Behind the cavalry, there is a battalion of cars, one by one, connected before and after, like a long snake, swimming towards Anshan Post Fort. And on the side van, there was no cover, and a large cannon was exposed. As soon as they saw those artillery, their faces turned pale and they exclaimed, "Hongyi cannon!" ”
The Hongyi cannon is the longest-range and most powerful artillery they have ever seen. It's just that in the past, the Ming army used this Hongyi cannon to defend the city, and now, a gate artillery is transported over to bombard the city that will not move.
Originally, they were relieved because of the easy to defend and difficult to attack Anshan Post Fort, and the impregnable defense system. But at this moment, seeing so many Hongyi cannons being transported over, all of them suddenly felt bottomless in their hearts.
To say that Jianyu at this time, what is the most resentful? That's definitely a firearm! It's the Hongyi Cannon! In the past, they didn't pay much attention to firearms, and even often laughed at them. Dealing with those arquebuses of the Ming Kingdom, they have no fear at all, as long as they attack virtually, they can attract the shots of those Ming musketeers, and then reload trouble, as long as the cavalry charges, they can beat the opponent to the ground.
But now, the Ming army attacked the city with Hongyi artillery, and this domineering siege method changed the form of war. The only means that can be effectively dealt with is artillery against artillery. However, there were no Hongyi cannons in Jianyu's hands at all, and even the general's cannons were pitiful. Those Jianlu, who had experienced the battle in Gaizhou, once again weighed the gap in the capabilities of the artillery on both sides in their hearts, and suddenly they had no sense of security at all.
Now they are still blocked at the city gate, and they don't even have a chance to go out of the city to attack the Ming army's artillery camp, so they can only be beaten passively. The Jianjiao on the head of the city, one by one, were as earth-colored, and they could only watch the Ming army's car camp approach, closer. After that, he calmly chose the artillery position, and began to carry the Hongyi artillery in an orderly manner and set up the artillery position.
At this time, almost all the Jianyu at the head of the city were attracted by those Hongyi cannons, and few people paid attention to the army that the Ming army was still driving over. Because they know that the biggest threat to Anshan Post Fort is these Hongyi cannons. But even if they knew that, they couldn't do anything about it.
"Damn it, who has shit in their brains, let's block the city gates!"
At the head of the city, from time to time, there were Jianlu who cursed similar words in a low voice. For them, the previous bravery still remains in their bones. In this situation, instead of being beaten passively and having no power to fight back, it is really better to rush out of the city and fight the Ming army in the field.
"Hurry, hurry, report to Liaoyang that the Ming army has carried at least a dozen Hongyi cannons. Anshan Post Fort is in danger! The Jianyu guard panicked, and hurriedly sent a messenger to Liaoyang.
Outside the city, a group of soldiers of the Ming army almost filled the field of vision. Of course, this has something to do with the fact that the open space in front of Anshan Post Fort is not open. The Ming army behind couldn't come up, so they had to stop and camp on the spot. The number of the Ming army is really out of sight.
The gunners of the Ming army on the side of Anshan Post Fort did not even rest, and were busy with the artillery position. The Hongyi cannons were lined up, and the black muzzles were facing the city, and the prisoners on the south side of the city were terrified. The garrison also realized something, and hurriedly ordered that only a small number of people should be left on the head of the city, and the rest of the troops would hide behind the city wall.
A stone's throw away from Anshan Post Fort, the Ming soldiers, who had already been prepared, took hoes and other tools, and calmly began to dig the earth, obviously preparing to fill the moat. Behind these Ming troops, there are groups of infantry resting, with all kinds of simple ladders on the side, as well as large equipment such as ladder trucks.
All of this indicates that the Ming army will not rest and will attack the city in one go.
The handsome banner of the Ming army was just behind the artillery battalion, and groups of Ming soldiers surrounded their generals, pointing at the head of the city. Judging from the banner, it is indeed Cao Bianjiao of the New Army, Cao Wenzhao of the Guanning Army, and the tall and extremely eye-catching governor of Denglai of the Ming Kingdom.
Among them, Cao Bianjiao even drove his horse to the front, pointed at the city head and the moat, and then returned to say something. Cao Wenzhao, the Guanning army that Jianyu knew, also drove his horse over to check closely, and then returned to talk to the governor of Denglai, among them, he didn't take the Jianyu on the city head seriously at all, or ignored the Jianyu on the city at all.
It didn't take long for the artillery position to be set up, and the Jianlu who stayed at the head of the city watched in horror as the Ming army over there was loading the Hongyi cannon. As far as they are laymen, they can see at a glance that the movements of those Ming artillerymen are very skillful, and they are even using some tools to readjust the height of the Hongyi cannon or something, which is very powerful at a glance.
Some of the younger Jianlu's legs shook involuntarily.
