After the infantry artillery began to attack, the shield wagons also started their own fire.

In the front row, there are twenty of the strongest shield cars, and a little behind, followed by the original Dongjiang soldiers who are carrying the picks, and the current auxiliary soldiers temporarily recruited by the Chinese Army.

The picks of these auxiliaries were filled with dirt, and their task was to fill in the trenches and moats on the roads so that the follow-up troops could attack.

Behind them are the second row of shield carts, which are followed by archers drawn from the guard company, who will use their best weapons, such as bows and rifles, to cover the auxiliary soldiers who fill the trenches.

About 100 meters behind, there was the group of former Dongjiang soldiers who had volunteered to sign up for the Xiandeng Warriors and put on the armor captured from the Houjin Army.

They were divided into teams of fifty people, each team was equipped with 3 to 5 ladders, this kind of extremely simple, unpolished ladders, and did not have such complex auxiliary facilities as on the "Wubei Zhi". There was also not the slightest equipment to cover the approach.

These ladders, only at the top of the ladders, had two large iron hooks damaged, as a precaution to allow them to hang on the battlements and not be easily toppled by enemy defenders.

In the middle part of the ladder, a solid bracket is also installed, which is a change made to allow the ladder to support more people to climb the ladder at the same time.

These 500 people will immediately attack when the moat around Jinzhou City, which is not protected by river water, is filled.

Waiting in the last row were the sharp knife troops selected from the battalions, under the personal command of a deputy battalion commander named Fei Kangjie.

As soon as the front team achieves a tactical effect and creates a favorable siege opportunity, they will immediately climb the wall and support.

The shield cart in the front row was quickly pushed by the captive Houjin Wrappers in a creaking noise, and came to the dry moat on the edge of the city wall of Jinzhou City.

The shield cart in the back row was parked about 20 meters away, and as soon as the shield cart stopped, a figure flashed behind it, and the good marksmen of these guard companies pointed their muzzles and feathered arrows at the opposite wall one by one, waiting for someone to come up.

Jinzhou originally had a wide moat, with a ditch a little more than 11 meters deep and a width of about 20 meters.

However, after the Houjin occupied here, those bloody and cruel policies caused the surrounding people to become extinct, and the land was barren, so they couldn't feed too many idle guys.

Therefore, although it is a fortified city and a transportation artery, the number of Houjin Eight Banner soldiers stationed here is not large.

There are only a few hundred people who are clothed, and they have to feed the war horses, and farm the land to feed those soldiers, and they are unable to maintain the city and the river.

The moat has been waterless for many years due to the silting up of the river that connects the large river outside, and the moat has become an almost half-dry moat.

Then, after many years of collapse, coupled with the impact of rain, the moat "shrunk" again from the moat to the short-term moat, becoming only half the original width.

Moreover, because of the unfavorable water supply and drainage, there was a little water stored in some places in the trench, which turned the trench into a puddle.

In other places, it is just an impassable, foul-smelling muddy field.

I don't know how these Houjin Eight Banner soldiers survived in this stinking environment.

Like most military towns, Golden State has four gates.

The layout of the city is also the same as that of most cities in the Ming Dynasty, that is, the familiar cross street style, with two main streets running through the north and south and the east and west gates respectively.

The main attack of the Lushun army this time is the city gate in the south, of course, the city gate of this military town will not give a special name, he is the same as most of the Daming city gates, called Cheng'en Gate.

The former Dongjiang soldiers who were about to fill the trench, with the roar of the leading officer, instantly rushed out from behind the shield carts in the front row, and one by one they rushed to pour the soil and stones in the picks into the moat.

After the pouring, the matter is not over, they need to temporarily retreat, to the back of the material storage point, to pick up the second load of earth and stones.

When the auxiliary soldiers who filled the trench rushed back, the hundreds of coats who had pushed the shield cart before also began to run back one by one, and their status was not as good as that of this group of auxiliary soldiers who were temporary workers, so they also had to participate in the work of filling the trench.

The Houjin army at the head of the city had already heard the movement under the city, and some figures quickly appeared, pulling out their postures and preparing to open their bows.

The guards who had been waiting for them for a long time had long been prepared, and nearly a hundred pump-action rifles under the city opened fire almost simultaneously.

The dense gunfire was deafening, the battlements at the head of the city were smashed into rubble and splashed, and several Houjin archers were shot, struggling to disappear on the top of the city, and then, a panicked cry of the Houjin soldiers sounded on the head of Cheng, which seemed to be the powerful lethality of the deer bullet, which caused a panic among the enemy troops.

The company commander of the guard company was walking back and forth in the shield workshop at this time, taking advantage of the opportunity of the artillery stoppage, shouting loudly, reminding the squad leaders under him.

"Each stares at the battlement directly opposite, don't worry about other people's buttons, carefully stare at those Houjin Tartars who dare to take the lead, each team should cooperate separately, don't fucking fire all at once, that's a waste of ammunition."

The guard company is one of the most elite combat forces in China, and this guard company was sent by Chen Xin to protect Zachdan, so more than 100 people are all equipped with pump-action rifles.

The pump-action rifle in each person's hand can be loaded with 7+1 rounds of ammunition, and they are divided into three rounds in a group of three, and a squad is divided into three rounds, shooting at each other alternately, constantly covering the soldiers who are filling the trenches.

A series of deer bullets were fired, and the Houjin army on the opposite city wall did not dare to raise their heads at all, so they could only hide behind the battlements of the city wall one by one, and shoot bows and arrows in a slightly backward position.

In this way, although their own safety is protected, and they can still give the Huaxia army a certain counterattack to a certain extent, if they cannot visually inspect and adjust the firing track, there is a big problem in the accuracy of the projectile, and the damage to the Huaxia army is greatly reduced.

The operation of suppressing and filling the trench lasted about two hours.

Two hours later, the moat had finally been filled in with a width and height sufficient for personnel and equipment to pass through.

The members of the Pioneer Warriors, who had been waiting in the back for a long time, howled loudly, carried the ladder, and swarmed up.
