Stone bullets kept flying out of the city and smashed on the road where the Ming army's shield vehicles were traveling.

Just when the trebuchet of the Qing army was desperately firing, the soldiers on the nest car used monoculars to observe the city and found the trajectory of the stones thrown by the trebuchet. Then the soldiers used the method taught by Wang Xinyu, put down the binoculars, raised the thumb of the right hand, closed the left eye, and aimed at the target; Then keep your thumb still, close your right eye again, and open your left eye.

According to the estimation of the translation distance, after multiplying it by ten, we get the exact distance from the Qing army's trebuchet to the nest car.

The pro-soldiers then reported the distance and position angle to the artillerymen in flags.

After Albert got the data, the British gunners made intense calculations with paper, quills, rulers, triangles, and compasses.

Seeing that the British did not load the shells, but wrote something on the paper, Gong Xiaoda was puzzled and asked, "What are these Tessie people doing?" ”

"It's a shame that you're the garrison of Tianlei Town and the head of the Divine Machine Battalion! I don't even know how to hit the target with a curved shot! Looks like you have a lot more to learn from the Tessians! Wang Xinyu reproached.

Gong Xiaoda took off the six-petal bright light helmet, touched the back of his head, and squatted down again to see those British people calculating the data.

After a few minutes of calculations, the British began to reload gunpowder and shells.

During this period, three more shield carts were destroyed by the trebuchets of the Qing army, and more than a dozen auxiliaries were killed or wounded.

"Fire!" Albert roared.

The three mortars with their muzzles raised raised roared at the same time, and flames erupted from their muzzles, and a puff of white gunpowder smoke spread from the artillery positions and rose in a curling voice. Thirty-two-pound shells arced through the air and whistled into the city.

Zhu Zhiguang saw a cloud of white smoke rising from the artillery position of the Ming army, and then saw a row of small black dots rising into the air, rising into the air, and then smashing down into the city.

"What's that?" Zhu Zhiguang was stunned for a moment.

The shells fell in the city, and one shell hit the roof of a house, only a loud "boom" was heard, and the entire roof broke in the thick of the dust and collapsed into the house. A cannonball smashed into a wall, and suddenly a huge hole appeared in the wall, and a large section of the wall collapsed with a bang. Another shell landed on the bluestone floor of the city, bouncing incessantly, and the debris smashed over several Qing soldiers who were operating trebuchets nearby, and finally the shell knocked down a house.

However, the first round of test firing did not destroy the trebuchet, and the trebuchets of the Qing army continued to fire stone projectiles.

Li Rui on the nest car reported the situation: "Failed to destroy the Qing army's trebuchet!" ”

Albert had the British gunners adjust the charge, the angle of the gun, and then eight mortars began to fire a salvo.

Eight shells flew into the air and flew towards the city wall of Qiongzhou.

Zhu Zhiguang saw a cloud of white smoke rising from the Ming army's position, eight black dots fell from the sky, and gradually enlarged in his pupils, and then the cannonballs crossed the city wall and fell in the city behind, resounding a large "crackling" cannonballs and the sound of roofs, buildings, and bluestone streets colliding, and the houses in the city "banged" and fell into a large area. Two of the shells hit a firing trebuchet almost simultaneously.

The 32-pound cannonball was much larger than the largest cannonball in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and you can imagine what it would be like to be smashed from a high altitude by a 32-pound iron ball.

The trebuchet hit by the cannonball was like a toy in the hands of a child, and it fell apart in one fell swoop, and the broken wood flew in all directions, and dozens of Qing soldiers who were pulling the rope of the trebuchet to fire stone bullets fell on the spot. The cannonball that smashed the trebuchet continued to lose momentum, and then hit a pile of stone bullets on the ground, smashing several stone bullets into pieces, and the gravel burst everywhere, once again causing great damage to the Qing soldiers in the city. Eventually, the shell crashed into a house and collapsed it.

Before the fragments of the trebuchet had completely fallen to the ground, a second shell came up and smashed into the trebuchet with one of the remaining bases, sending the planks on the ground flying. The cannonball landed on the ground again, bouncing off the hard bluestone floor, and finally crashed into a wall, smashing into a huge hole.

Immediately after the British fired a round of shells, they cleaned the chambers, loaded the gunpowder, and loaded the shells.

Then the second round of fires was launched, and another trebuchet of the Qing army was smashed to pieces.

"Quick! Above! Our cannons have knocked out the trebuchets of the Tartars! The lightly armored warriors wielded their swords and drove the auxiliaries forward.

The shield cart is about to reach the area of the obstacle, and there are wooden stakes and deer barricades in front of it, and the shield cart cannot push it through. At this time, the auxiliaries of the cart can only leave the protection of the shield cart, go to the front of the shield cart, and use axes and saws to destroy the stakes and deer bars, and at this time the auxiliaries will be under the fire range of the Qing army at the head of the city.

On the city wall, the bows and arrows of the Qing army, bird guns continued to shoot arrows and projectiles, and the gravel from the trebuchet at the head of the city fell like rain, and the auxiliary soldiers of the Ming army who were chopping with axes and sawing with saws were shot by arrows one after another, and more than 20 people fell.

The large and small artillery of the Ming army aimed at the head of the city and bombarded it fiercely, causing the bricks on the head of the city to collapse and the female wall to collapse. The splashing stones caused great damage to the Qing soldiers standing behind the female wall. However, Zhu Zhiguang had already prepared and piled up a lot of sandbags behind the women's wall, even if the women's wall was broken down, the sandbags could still consume part of the kinetic energy of the cannonballs and reduce the losses of the Qing army.

"Ready to launch!" Wang Xinyu prepared the catapult for launch.

Several Ming soldiers put the bundled bottles in the net pockets of the catapults and lit the fuse. Later, dozens of Ming soldiers pulled the ropes of the catapult and threw bundles of bottles with the surname of the country into the city.

The national surname bottle exploded continuously at the head of the city, blowing up all the sandbags. The flames burst out, broken porcelain pieces and thistles flew across the city, and many Qing troops were blown up to pieces.

However, the hit rate of the catapult was too low, and most of the national surname bottles either fell at the foot of the city wall or fell inside the city wall, and less than a third of the national surname bottles fell on the city head and exploded. But even so, these national surname bottles also caused great losses to the Qing army at the head of the city.

Although the trebuchet in the city has not been completely destroyed, and the stone rain falls from time to time, hitting the auxiliary soldiers who are clearing the obstacles, but after all, the hit rate of the trebuchet is not high, and it is a bull across the mountain, and the Qing soldiers who guide the trebuchet at the head of the city are constantly killed, making the hit rate of the trebuchet even lower. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the auxiliaries carved a passage and pushed the shield cart to the moat.

Bags of sandbags were thrown into the moat, causing a huge splash. Soon, the sandbags carried on the shield trucks were emptied and thrown into the moat.

The auxiliary soldiers who threw the sandbags immediately hid behind the shield cart and retreated back with the shield cart in tow.

Seeing that the war was unfavorable, Zhu Zhiguang ordered the Qing soldiers of the Green Battalion to kill people, and after cutting off several heads in a row, the Qing archers and bird gunners were forced to risk the shells, poke their heads out, and shoot arrows and guns at the city. The Qing soldiers' people and native soldiers were also forced by the war team with knives, throwing stones at the city and smashing wolf teeth.

There are also Qing soldiers who risk probes and throw out cans of fire oil.

"Pop" the canister smashed on a shield cart, the canister burst, and the canister flowed out.

A large volley of rockets "swished" from the top of the city, and the shield cart immediately burst into flames, and the auxiliaries of the cart dropped the shield cart and turned to run, only to be knocked down by the feathered arrows and projectiles fired from the city.

"Hurry up!" Zhu Zhiguang roared and ordered the Qing army to open artillery bombardment.

The Qing army's tiger squatting cannon, general cannon and other small cannons at the head of the city spit out fireballs one after another, firing cannonballs at the shield cart pushed up.

Several shield carts were overturned, and others were shattered by shells. The Ming army auxiliaries pushing the shield cart were bloodied by the shells and suffered heavy losses, leaving corpses and broken shield carts on the road.

The artillery of the Ming army carried out a suppressive bombardment of the small artillery of the Qing army, and the shells smashed on the city one after another, smashing down the female wall, the stones were splashed, and the Qing gunners who were manipulating the small cannons fell a lot. There were also two small cannons of the Qing army that were directly hit by the shells, one tiger squat cannon was smashed and fell off the city, and the other cannon was knocked away and fell into the city, and a piece of the roof was smashed.

In order to boost morale, Zhu Zhiguang picked up a torch and lit a general cannon with his own hands.

"Boom" spewed out an orange-red fireball from the muzzle of the gun's cannon, and the shell whistled away, just hitting a shield cart.

The shield cart was ruthlessly torn to pieces by the shells, and the fragments of the planks flew backwards like sharp shrapnel, and the auxiliaries of the cart fell in large pieces. Behind the wreckage of the shield cart, three auxiliaries were covered in blood and fell in a pool of blood, and five auxiliaries with missing arms and legs were sitting or lying in a pool of blood, letting out a painful wail.

The cannonball that shattered the shield cart and bounced to the side again bounced on the ground several times in a row, knocking down two of the auxiliaries pushing another shield cart on the side, and the shell stopped.

Zhu Zhiguang once again ignited the general's cannon and destroyed another shield car.

"My lord! Be careful! At this moment, suddenly a catcher pushed Zhu Zhiguang away and pushed him down.

Before the words fell, a cannonball hit Zhu Zhiguang's gun position just now, and the eight-pounder cannonball smashed a large piece of the female wall, and the sharp gravel shot like an arrow to the pillar of the city tower. The remaining cannonballs grazed the side of the pillars and smashed a large cloud of sawdust, and then the cannonballs burrowed into the tower, knocking the doors away.

If it weren't for the catcher who pushed Zhu Zhiguang away just now, this cannon would have killed him.

Zhu Zhiguang got up from the ground and calmly patted the dust on his official uniform. This shot came just now

"Your Excellency!" Catch quickly knelt down on one knee and saluted, "It's too dangerous here, go down!" It's good that there is a lowly position here! ”

"No way!" Zhu Zhiguang refused, "The thieves are powerful, and the thieves are booming!" If this officer goes down at this time, the morale of our army will collapse immediately! ”

At this moment, a bundle of smoking bottles with the surname of the country flew up to the city tower and landed at the head of the city more than twenty steps away from Zhu Zhiguang. Only a violent explosion was heard, the fire burst into the smoke, the tower shook violently, and several pieces of wooden floors and window frames fell down.

Although the Ming army suppressed the small artillery of the Qing army, the Qing army, inspired by Zhu Zhiguang, still stubbornly stuck to the head of the city, and constantly used bows and arrows, bird guns, rolling wood and stones, and lime bottles to kill and injure the attacking Ming army.

More than 300 auxiliary soldiers adapted from Qing soldiers were killed under the city, and more than 50 light armored soldiers who were converted from native soldiers were also mistaken and buried under the city of Qiongzhou. After paying a huge price, the Ming army finally filled in the three sections of the moat.

PS: The Qing army is too tenacious, kneel and beg for support! I collect it, and I recommend smashing it down
