While He Tengjiao and Qin Liangyu were talking, the Ming army's infantry had already rushed to the wall, and the shield cars in the front row were connected together, forming a short wall in rows, and the Ming army's archers and gunners hid behind and began to shoot at the gate to suppress the Jin soldiers.

These shield carts could not withstand the bombardment of artillery, but they did not have much problem withstanding the rain of arrows and the firing of birds, and in a short time, they were full of arrows and small holes made by the guns.

Between the short walls of shield carts, the soldiers pushing the ladders and siege towers quickly approached the city wall as the Ming archers and gunners suppressed the city head.

As far as weapons are concerned, the replacement of firearms with bows and arrows is an inevitable trend, and it only takes more than three months for the Ming army to train a firecracker, but it takes a few years for an archer to shoot well.

But having said that, to make enough firearms for the Ming army is not something that can be done in a year or two.

At present, the army that obeys the orders of the Ming Dynasty, not counting the government soldiers who belong to the reserve army, only counting the five loyal troops and the town army around the town has nearly 500,000 people, if all the clothes are changed, it will take five or six years for the workshops to open full horsepower production, plus the production of firearms, a large amount of iron ore is needed, and it must be refined iron, the road in Guizhou in the Ming Dynasty has just been repaired, and the minerals are produced, so it is still too early to change clothes.

In the past, the focus of the Ming army was mainly to deal with the Qing army in the southeast, so all kinds of materials and equipment were transported to Huguang and Jiangnan, so the equipment of the Ming army in the southwest was backward and outdated.

Although Wang Deren's troops were only transferred to Sichuan in the second half of the year, the Jiangxi army was basically disabled, and the Ming army sent a batch of weapons to Korea, and some of them were consumed in the Jiangbei War.

Although the Ming army's infantry formation was close to the wall, they were not in an advantageous position in terms of equipment, while the Jin army had a geographical advantage, and although the Ming army was close to the wall, it did not gain an advantage.

The Ming army, hiding behind the shield car, used old-fashioned bird guns and bows and arrows to shoot at the city, but did not completely suppress the city, but because the frontal cannon splashed out pieces of iron sand, and the hanging of bows and arrows on the head, the Ming army was a little afraid to show its head.

On the wall, the Jin army saw the Ming army's siege equipment approaching, and the soldiers picked up the fire pot and smashed it under the city.

As soon as some Jin soldiers stood up and raised the fire pot, they were hit by the Ming army's firearms, and then fell off the wall, but some people accurately hit the advancing ladders and siege towers, and the giant equipment of the Ming army instantly rose into flames, and the soldiers inside immediately ran out.

The area controlled by the Jin State, near Guanzhong and Chengdu, Sichuan is not easy to say, after all, it was very rich before, and Zhang Xianzhong suddenly became miserable after he came, the time of chaos was only seven or eight years, the people may be more nostalgic for the Ming Dynasty, and there is still a certain emotion for the Ming army, but Guanzhong is different, from Gao Yingxiang to Li Zicheng and then to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the chaos has been at least more than 30 years, the people have been in dire straits, and the Ming Dynasty has not been able to solve the problem, how embarrassed to make people think about the Ming Dynasty in this case.

Before Dolgon carried out a radical national policy, they fought to protect the clothes and protect the world, but the Jin State did not engage in Dolgon's set, cast the law Xiaowen Emperor, and was able to stabilize Guanzhong and quickly stabilize the place, which was in line with the people's desire for stability, and the Jin State gained a lot of recognition, so the fighting enthusiasm of the Han army in the Jin State was much stronger than that of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The Jin army on the city smashed the fire pot to the pass, the rolling stone and wood rolled down the ladder that set up the city wall, and the Ming army climbing with the shield was constantly smashed down the city.

Behind the gate, the Jin army's artillery carts kept swinging their throwing rods to throw the cannons out, while the archers below kept bending their bows and throwing waves of arrows outside the pass.

The archers of the Jin Army inserted the arrows in the quiver on the ground beside him, and after shooting an arrow, he immediately held the tail of the arrow shaft between his two fingers, pulled it up and put on the bowstring, and then pulled it into a full circle, and then shot an arrow, the whole action was done in one go, and the cycle was repeated until after shooting a pot of arrows, and immediately retracted the bow and retreated, and at this time there was already a reserve team with a bow and a quiver on his back, running forward to take over them and continue to shoot.

Bows and arrows are not as good as firearms, and each arrow is very physically demanding, and the Jin army has sufficient troops, so Wu Sangui adopted this method of taking turns to shoot arrows, so that the Jin army's arrows will not stop, and each arrow maintains the ability to tear through the armor of the Ming army.

After closing the wall, the archers of the Jin Army were divided into three parts, each with a thousand people, and when any one was replaced, the other two continued to shoot, and the arrow rain seemed to not stop, rising into the air again and again, forming a cloud of black arrows, and then shooting towards the Ming army like locusts.

The dense arrows became the biggest threat to the Ming army, and the shield carts and the ground in front of the pass were full of arrows.

At this time, behind the wall, a group of Jin soldiers holding bows and quivers hanging quivers lined up in nine horizontal columns, trotting and staggered with a team of Jin soldiers who had finished shooting arrows, and were about to take their place and continue to shoot arrows, but at the moment when they staggered, shadows suddenly appeared in the sky.

Outside the pass, the Ming artillery group withstood the attack of the Jin army's artillery and rushed forward for a distance, a distance enough for the Ming army's artillery to throw the artillery into the wall.

At this time, I saw that the Ming army's artillery group suddenly stopped, and a team of soldiers immediately dug a narrow deep ditch on the ground, and a group of Ming soldiers carrying wooden planks braved the artillery stones, came to the front of the artillery group, loaded a piece of wooden planks covered with cowhide or wet cotton cloth into the deep ditch, and then stepped on practical logs to resist the back, and built a simple artillery array.

These planks were not connected together to form a wooden wall, and they were separated by about ten steps in between, which did not affect the passage of the follow-up troops and siege equipment of the Ming army.

The artillery of the Ming army pushed the artillery carts behind these wooden planks, began to set up the artillery trucks, and brought the artillery, and the Jin army artillery stones in the Guannai smashed and smashed on the baffle, making a muffled sound, and smashed the baffle tilt and smashed, but the artillery was covered by the cowhide and wet cloth, and the kinetic energy was attenuated, but it did not cause much damage to the Ming army.

"Cannon swarming." Wang Deren personally commanded, and the roar shook the pass.

Next to the set up cannons, the officers holding the command flag held the flag high, looking at Fotu Pass with hideous faces, they were attacked by the Jin army's artillery all the way, and there were countless casualties along the way, and their hearts were already manic, with Wang Deren's order, they waved the flag down as if venting.

With their orders, the artillery array of the Ming army in front of Fotu Pass suddenly rose a black spot, and the Jin army on the wall saw this black spot vacating into the air, and quickly landed, becoming bigger and bigger in an instant, and his heart was immediately filled with infinite fear.

When the Jin army was frightened, the artillery stone did not fall on the pass, but flew quickly over their heads, blowing a gust of wind, drawing an arc, and slamming into the wall, the Jin army's archers were square.

The artillery of the Ming army did not hit the wall as before, but bombarded the Jin army behind the wall, looking at the running stone roaring over the top of his head, and the Jin soldiers on the gate were actually a little happy in his heart.

Countless boulders with the power of thunder, smashed into the unsuspecting phalanx of Jin Army archers, a cannon stone hit a Jin army, and immediately burst brains, but the power of the boulder did not decrease, and it quickly ran over the deformed corpse of the Jin army, and crushed several Jin soldiers into meat cakes in a company, and the place where they passed was a mess, which was shocking.

The Jin army under the wall did not expect to be attacked by artillery, and instantly screamed loudly, I don't know how many people turned into meat pies in this wave of artillery attacks, and the phalanx of the Jin army archers behind the wall instantly appeared one after another blood lines.
