Boom Boom!

Outside Liancheng, the violent cannon fire shook the heavens and the earth, and more than 50 artillery pieces urgently transferred by Zhou Dazhu from Jinzhou were laid out outside Liancheng.

Zhou Dazhu gave an order, don't care about the consumption of cannonballs, and bombard with Lao Tzu, and when you run out of shells, Lao Tzu will make up for you.

It was precisely because of Zhou Dazhu's order that more than 50 White Dragon Army artillery pieces outside the city bombarded the city for more than half an hour.

Anyway, there are no more people in the city, and Zhou Dazhu is not afraid of any accidental injury.

At this time, the short-sightedness of the Tartars was also revealed.

Duoduo's slaughter of the people of Liancheng was certainly refreshing for a while, but it was also deformed so that the attacking White Dragon Army had no worries.

If, at this time, Duoduo took the people in Liancheng and threatened Zhou Dazhu outside the city, Zhou Dazhu really shouldn't have shelled Liancheng so fiercely.

At first, many of the Tartars were hiding behind the city walls, trying to wait for the White Dragon Army's artillery fire to end, and they climbed the city walls to defend them.

As a result, after they were killed by the bombing, Dordor decisively ordered that only a small number of Tartars be left on the city walls, and the rest of the Tartars were completely hidden in the city.

"Phew,, how many shells do they have, don't their shells cost money?"

Inside the city, an explosive bomb had just exploded less than ten paces away from Duoduo, and he was pressed to the ground by the guards, his mouth splashed with dirt, and he was desperately spitting and complaining.

In the face of the fierce artillery fire of the White Dragon Army outside the city, the artillery on the city wall had already been cleared.

"Soldiers, attack.

The musketeers were divided into left and right directions, suppressing the enemy's fire on the walls and covering the charge of the infantry. ”

Wu Beiwang was in charge of the front-line command and gave orders.

As a result, a group of soldiers of the White Dragon Army quickly rushed towards Liancheng.

The foot soldiers charged with the ladders, while the musketeers on both wings lined up in rows and fired at the walls of the city, suppressing the musketeers and archers of the tartars on the walls.

At the same time, among the foot soldiers, there were also several assault teams, who were responsible for delivering gunpowder canisters to the gates of Liancheng and blowing them open.

At the same time, it was not only the west city gate on the side of Wubeiwang that launched an attack, but also the north and south sides that Qin Hu and Chu Feng were responsible for, and they also launched an attack at the same time.

Although they only had 7,000 men and horses, they were enough to siege the city.

At the same time, the 5,000 White Dragon soldiers and horses transferred by Zhou Dazhu from the north of the Black Mountain will also arrive in half a day.

"Quick, go up the wall, shoot arrows, shoot."

As the White Dragon Army launched an attack on the city, the Tartars in the city also quickly climbed the city wall and shot arrows at the White Dragon Army soldiers under the city.

Because the more than 1,000 flintlock muskets captured by the Tartars in Liancheng were equipped with too little ammunition, they were completely chicken ribs for the Tartars.

Therefore, the main long-range attack weapon of the Tartars defending the city is the bow and arrow they brought.

I have to admit that it was indeed the right decision to wrap the Tartars in oiled paper and bring the bow and arrows.

However, they brought longbows, but they could not bring too many arrows.

Originally, the Tartars were still counting on the White Dragon Army to capture some, but when they defeated Liancheng, they were embarrassed to find that there were no arrows in the city at all.

The White Dragon Army has now gradually moved towards a hot-weapon army, and the bows and arrows have long been eliminated by them, and it is normal for the Tartars to not find arrows.

And the arrows brought by the Tartars themselves were simply not enough to support the Tartars in a large-scale defensive battle.

For this reason, Duoduo was also very distressed.

Whoosh!

There was a burst of sound breaking through the air, and one by one the Tartars stood up from behind the Ru Wall, and after shooting an arrow at the city, they immediately crouched down.

Bang bang bang!

Whenever these Tartars dodged and stood up to shoot arrows, the rows of White Dragon Army musketeers outside the city were also the moment they fired.

Even though the Tartars spent a lot of time standing up and shooting arrows, they still had a few Tartar archers fall at a time.

On the city wall, a rain of arrows shot by the Tartar archers also caused some casualties to the White Dragon Army foot soldiers charging under the city, but it could not stop the White Dragon Army foot soldiers.

On the contrary, the Tartar archers on the city walls were completely suppressed by the fire of the musketeers of the White Dragon Army under the city, and they were shooting arrows with their own lives.

In this way, the foot soldiers of the White Dragon Army who charged under the city easily rushed to the city walls and gates.

Bang!

A moment later, there was a loud bang.

Two White Dragon Army foot soldiers set fire to two large gunpowder jars stacked under the west gate of Liancheng, and exploded the city gate.

But unfortunately, when the White Dragon Army infantry used gunpowder cans to blow open the gates of Liancheng, they found that the city gate hole was sealed by Tartar in advance with stones and soil.

"Report, General, the city gate hole has been sealed with stones and mud by the Tartars, and it will take time to clear it."

A white dragon sergeant ran to Wu Beiwang and reported.

"The attack must not stop, send a soldier, bring shovels and other tools, to clear the hole in the city gate that the general will seal.

During this time, the rest of the foot soldiers used the ladder to attack from the city wall, allowing the musketeers to increase the intensity of the fire. ”

Wu Beiwang stood on a gentle slope, holding a clairvoyant mirror in his hand, observing the battle situation on the front line at all times, and calmly giving orders.

"Yes, General."

Soon, the herald of the White Dragon Army passed Wu Beiwang's order to the soldiers of the White Dragon Army who were at the forefront of the siege.

Except for the foot soldiers of the White Dragon Army, who began to clean the hole in the city gate, the rest of the foot soldiers set up ladders and climbed towards the city wall.

"Throw stones, smash them down."

On the city wall, the roar of the Tartar soldiers soon sounded, and they lifted stones one by one and smashed them down towards the White Dragon Army foot soldiers climbing on the cloud ladder.

"Artillery, bombardment into the city!"

Boom Boom!

The artillery of the White Dragon Army, which had just stopped for a while, rang out again, and this time they crossed the city wall and bombarded directly into the city.

"Ahh

At this time, there were many Tartar soldiers gathered behind the city wall, and in the face of the explosive bombs that kept falling from the sky and exploded, they gave them a lot of damage.

"Strange!"

At this time, when Wu Beiwang, who was standing on the gentle slope, used a clairvoyant mirror to observe the battle at the west gate of Liancheng, he was puzzled.

"General, what's wrong?" There was a general of the White Dragon Army next to him and asked.

"It would have been strange, even these Tartars in the city, when defending, were completely old-fashioned, bows and arrows, rolling logs, stones, gold juice.

Why didn't you see him use a musket and an iron-hulled Rene?

You know, in the armory in Liancheng, there are thousands of flintlock pistols and tens of thousands of iron-clad mines.

Defending the city with muskets and iron-clad thunder is much more powerful than defending it with bows and arrows and stones. ”

Wu Beiwang voiced his doubts.

"Could it be the Tartars in the city, what kind of conspiracy will they play?"

"No, it won't.

At this time, what kind of conspiracy do they still need to play, the most important thing is to defend the city.

Anyway, if it were a general, he would never use muskets and iron-clad mines, but would defend the city with these bows and arrows and stones. ”

"Isn't it those barbarian Tartars who don't know how to use muskets and iron-clad mines at all.

The wild boar skins that they have just come out of the mountains and forests are estimated to be able to draw bows and shoot arrows and throw stones. Ha ha! ”

At this time, there was also a joke among the generals of the White Dragon Army, causing everyone around them to laugh.

Wu Beiwang didn't laugh, his eyes were cold, and he swept over the laughing White Dragon Army generals around him, so that those White Dragon Army generals who were laughing immediately stopped laughing and restrained themselves.

Wu Beiwang said coldly: "Isn't it funny? Do you think that the Tartars really don't know how to use flintlock pistols?

Then they can't even ignite the lead of the iron-clad mine? Speak with your brain.

Now on the battlefield, as generals, every decision and order you make will determine the life and death of many soldiers in front of you.

At times like these, are you still in the mood to joke?

It was the first time, and Ben wouldn't want to see a second time. ”

Listening to Wu Beiwang's reprimand, all the generals of the White Dragon Army around him were silent, and no one dared to refute it.

Immediately, Wu Beiwang's eyes continued to move forward, falling into deep thought.

"Could it be ......" After a moment, Wu Beiwang's eyes widened suddenly, thinking of something.

"Come on, go to the north and south of the city to see the attack on the side of the two generals, Qin Hu and Chu Feng.

Look at the Tartars who defended the city on both sides of them, and whether they didn't use muskets and iron-clad mines much, and they also defended the city in the old way. ”

Then, Wu Beiwang ordered.

"Report!"

Soon, Wu Beiwang sent to the north and south of the city, and the soldiers who found out about the situation returned and reported to him the situation of the Tartars guarding the city on both sides.

"Sure enough."

Hearing the report of his subordinates, sure enough, as Wubei Wangwang thought, the Tartars guarding the city on both sides of the north and south of the city were also the same as their side, and they did not use muskets and iron-shelled mines much.

At this time, Wu Beiwang had already guessed in his heart that the Tartars in the city might have not captured the muskets and iron-shelled mines in the armory at all because of some kind of change.

"Let's go, go see General Zhou."

Wu Beiwang went directly to meet Zhou Dazhu and told his guess.

"Beiwang, what you said is true?"

After Zhou Dazhu heard Wu Beiwang's guess, he was also overjoyed and asked.

"General Hui, his subordinates are confident in their guesses.

However, to be on the safe side, we'd better test the Tartars again. ”

"Pass the order, let Qin Hu and Chu Feng put their second wave of offensive echelon into the offensive and increase the offensive.

Beiwang, you also go back and command the battle. ”

After a while, Zhou Dazhu listened to Wu Beiwang's proposal and directly threw into the second wave of attack echelons to increase the siege of the city.

Wubei Wang's attack on the city is to put pressure on the Tartars in the city, and if by that time, the Tartars in the city will not use muskets and iron-shelled mines.

Basically, you can veto the Tartars are preparing to keep these muskets and iron-shelled mines, and at a critical moment, Yin Yi White Dragon Army's worries.

After all, the city is about to be breached, and when is it more important than holding the gates?

Soon, Wu Beiwang, who returned to the front line of the West City Gate, and Qin Hu and Chu Feng, who received orders in the north and south of the city, issued an order to put in the second wave of attack echelons and increase the attack almost at the same time.

In the first wave of their attack, the three walls of the White Dragon Army, in fact, only 1,200 people were invested in each of them to participate in the siege.

Among them, there were 600 musketeers, who were not responsible for the siege, but only for suppressing the fire of the Tartars on the city walls and shooting the Tartars to the greatest extent.

The remaining 600 foot soldiers are the main force of the siege charge.

Now, they began to attack the city, but less than half an hour has passed, and the foot soldiers of the White Dragon Army attacking the city in front of them have not suffered many casualties, and the casualties are only a few dozen.

Under normal circumstances, it is far from the time for them to commit to the second wave of the attack echelon.

But now, after Wu Beiwang, Qin Hu, and Chu Feng received Zhou Dazhu's order, they decisively sent out the second attack echelon, five hundred White Dragon Army foot soldiers.

At this moment, the pressure on the Tartars to defend the city was even greater.

Originally, under the suppression of the fire of the musketeers under the White Dragon Army, the Tartar archers on the city wall suffered many casualties, and it did not play a role in suppressing the attack of the White Dragon Army's foot soldiers.

Seeing that the White Dragon Army's infantry had just begun to attack the city for only half an hour, they had already had some infantry soldiers, climbing up the ladder and trying to kill the city wall.

Now, the White Dragon Army has once again invested its forces and increased the siege of the city, and the Tartars defending the city are in danger.

"Lord Wang, it's not good, the enemy attacking the city outside the city has increased its troops.

The defenders of the city suffered many casualties and needed reinforcements. ”

A Tartar general rushed up to Dodor and reported.

"What, how long has it been since the war? You can't hold it? Dodor yelled angrily.

"Lord Wang, it's really that the enemy's artillery and muskets are too powerful, and their musket team has completely suppressed our archers, so that our archers can't show their strength at all."

The tartar said unwillingly.

"This king doesn't listen to arguments, waste."

Enraged, Duoduo kicked the Tartar general over and stood up and roared.

"Report, lord, it's not good, there is an enemy on the west wall to kill the city wall, and General Buller asks for support."

At this time, another Tartar soldier ran in in a panic and shouted to Duoduo.

"Damn, the White Snake Army outside the city dared to attack the city so fiercely as soon as they came up.

They didn't even take into account that the king might have a large number of firearms and thunderbolts in his hands?

Could it be that they have already guessed what we are really doing? ”

At this moment, Duoduo also became a little flustered.

Indeed, the reason why Duoduo kept the flintlock pistols and a small number of iron-clad mines he captured was to create a deterrent to the White Dragon Army outside the city.

After all, the amount of flintlock ammunition and captured iron-clad mines in his hand was so much that it didn't take a few hits at all.

Duoduo thought that as long as he didn't easily put flintlock pistols and iron-clad mines into battle.

When the soldiers of the White Dragon Army outside the city attack the city, they will have a lot of scruples, which will help them defend the city, and they can even delay it for some more time.

However, Duoduo never expected that just after the war, the White Dragon Army outside the city would decisively invest heavily in attacking the city, disrupting his plan.

At this time, Duoduo was already worried in his heart, guessing that it might be the general of the White Dragon Army outside the city who saw through his plan, which made him very angry.

"Okay, since that's the case, then the king doesn't have to be polite.

The order was sent to the newly formed firearms battalion, with all the captured flintlock pistols and thunderbolts, to rush to the west gate to defeat the offensive of the White Snake Army for the king. ”

Duoduo's face was hideous, and he ordered.
