"Fire!" Shang Zhixiao gave an order hoarsely.

The cannons, howitzers, and mortars of the Second Western Expeditionary Army spat out tongues of fire in unison, and the cannonballs rained down hail and smashed into the entrenched citadel of the Mughal army in front.

There were a series of explosions at the head of the city, the flames burst out, the smoke billowed out, the waves of air flowed everywhere, and the castle was blown to pieces, and the violent explosions were mixed with a scream from time to time.

"Prepare for battle! Those who retreat without permission will be killed! The prince Bahadur Shah came out of his room and went up to the head of the city, shouting hoarsely to embolden his soldiers.

With the help of the moonlight, Prince Bahadur Shah could see that the head of the city was bombarded by the Ming artillery, the human body lying down in all directions, the cannons overturned by the air waves, the broken stones or fragments of weapons, and all kinds of miscellaneous things that I don't know what they were, scattered everywhere.

The mortar gunners who had just finished firing a round of shells cleaned the chamber with wet mops, and then stuffed a slender cylindrical charge bag into the chamber, stuffed it into the narrow medicine chamber at the bottom, and solidified it with wooden sticks, and then stuffed the high-explosive flowering shell the size of a watermelon into the muzzle, and pulled the fuse of the shell out of the muzzle. The gunner standing behind the mortar pierced the fire door with an iron cone, punctured the fixed charge bag, and then stuffed a primer tube into the fire door, tore the paper skin at the end of the primer tube, pulled out the fuse, and completed the loading.

Along with the artillery commander's order to "open the gun", a gunner first picked up the torch and lit the fuse of the gun, and saw the fuse "swishing" sparks, and then went to the tail of the gun, ignited the fuse inserted in the primer tube in the fire door, as the fuse was shortened to the primer tube, the primer exploded, detonating the fixed charge bag in the medicine room, so that the propellant in the pill bag expanded violently in a short period of time, only a dull cannon sound was heard, a fireball erupted from the muzzle, the shell rose into the air, and then a thick white smoke came out of the muzzle.

The mortar shells dragged the lit fuse across the night sky, like a meteor dragging a long flame and slamming down on the castle. A few seconds later, the cannonball landed accurately above the castle, and the moment the cannonball landed on the castle, the cut fuse just burned out, igniting the detonator in the shell, and then detonating the high explosives in the shell of the cannonball. Then another mortar shell slammed into the castle, making an explosion that shattered the castle's stones, splashed rubble, and a crack appeared in the fortified fortress.

Falling mortar shells smashed one after another on top of the castle, and the castle shook violently, and the cracks gradually widened.

"Push the rapid-fire cannon to Lao Tzu and kill those despicable Indians!" Shang Zhixiao opened his voice and yelled.

More than a dozen Ming artillerymen unloaded the bangbang cannons from the camels' backs, and assumed on the ground, the muzzles of the guns were aimed at the castle in front of which was already riddled with holes.

"Beat the drums, attack!" Shang Zhixiao yelled.

War drums rumbled, trumpets sounded, and a large number of Turks who had been captured as the people carried the crude improvised ladders, shouted, and rushed towards the castle, which was under heavy shelling.

Inside the castle, the crown prince Bahadur Shah personally pressed the battle and commanded the Mughal soldiers in the castle to resist. In the firing hole, rifles stretched out, and the undestroyed cannons also stretched out from the open cannon doors, aiming at the Turks who were surging up in the black pressure, the muzzles spat out slender tongues of fire, and the muzzles spewed fireballs, dense bullets and shells swept through the crowd of Turks, stirring up pieces of flying blood mist in the crowd, and patches of Turks screamed and fell.

Several shells were pulled through the crowd, pulling out several alleys of flesh and blood, and the Turks in a straight line were smashed by the shells and fell screaming.

"Kill the infidels! God willing! "The Turks were not only not frightened by the fierce fire of the Mughal army, but accelerated the pace of the charge, and launched a fierce attack on the citadel.

Later, the Ming army pushed the bang cannon up, the two bang guns were erected, the ammunition man picked up a row of shells, inserted the bullet row above the loading port of the gun, and then the shooter turned the gun port, aimed at the shooting hole that was spraying the tongue of fire, and shook the handle.

The mechanical device began to operate under the action of the gears, and the two guns mounted in parallel were aimed at the target, and the tongue of fire was sprayed in turn, and the bang bang cannon emitted a continuous fire sound of "bang bang bang".

The cannonballs continued to hit the shooting holes and the city wall full of holes, the high-speed rotating cannonballs were like red wire thorn tofu, easily pierced into the castle, and in an instant, the Mughal soldiers behind the shooting holes let out a row of screams, they were hit by the cannonballs that drilled into the fortress, and the high-speed rotating 25 mm caliber cannonballs hit the human body, and the whole person was immediately torn to pieces, and suddenly the flesh and blood in the fortress flew everywhere, and broken human tissue and internal organ fragments flew everywhere in the fortress, and holes appeared in the walls of the castle and around the shooting holes, The cannonballs that drilled into the castle swirled, shattering all the targets that stood in front of them, whether it was the human body of the soldiers, or the guns of the defenders, or the shields, and the walls, all of which were wrenched by the rotating cannonballs, and a cannonball hit a Mughal six-pounder cannon, and the cannonball drilled a hole in the cannon body, and the huge kinetic energy lifted the cannon weighing more than 600 kilograms off the ground, bounced, and flew backwards.

Immediately afterward, another cannonball that penetrated into the castle hit a powder keg behind a gun emplacement, causing a violent explosion of the powder keg, only to hear a loud bang, and the gun emitted fire.

From the outside, I saw that a fort had turned into an erupting volcano, orange and scarlet flames erupted from various shooting holes and small holes drilled by shells, and a skylight was opened by a violent explosion above the fort, and the raging fire erupted from the inside of the fort, looking like a volcano.

Under the cover of the powerful fire of the Ming army, the Turks had already rushed to the edge of the moat, and they put the simple moats they were carrying to the top of the moat, and soon set up improvised moats one after another.

The Mughal soldiers at the head of the city endured the dense suppressive fire of the Ming army outside the city, desperately firing fiercely at the attacking Turks. Many Turks had just lowered their improvised trenches, and before they could retreat, they were hit by bullets, snorted, and plunged headlong into the river. But more Turks put down the improvised moat, and then a large number of Turks carried improvised ladders and rushed over the newly laid moat to the bottom of the castle and erected the ladders on the castle.

"Attack! Attack! The sword in Shang Zhixiao's hand pointed at the burning castle and ordered his soldiers to climb up.
