Yesterday, when 10,000 captives were captured, it was already late, and the sun was setting quickly.

At that time, because of the poor lighting, it was very inconvenient for the captives to cut down trees and other actions, and it was not convenient for the Huaxia army to guard.

Therefore, by the time of today's siege, the coated captives had only built less than 100 shield wagons and a few trench wagons.

Of course, Zachdan didn't expect to be able to conquer Fuzhou City at one time, he knew that these siege equipment would be very damaged.

Therefore, in a wooded area behind the position, there were hundreds of coated prisoners, who were continuing to make the relevant equipment.

Nearly 100 shield carts, in a "squeak" noise, advanced towards the front of the south city gate.

Around these shields, scouts of the battalions were constantly galloping around the safety of the artillery on the ramparts.

When the shield cart gradually approached the city wall, it was still divided into two layers, front and rear, and the first infantry battalion of the main attack sent two companies of more than 400 people, slowly advancing under the cover of the shield cart.

Moreover, between the two layers of shield vehicles, there were four 40mm caliber infantry guns belonging to the infantry battalion, and an artillery company directly under the brigade headquarters also joined the attack sequence.

Soon after the shield cart entered the area within 1 kilometer of the Fuzhou city wall, the red-clothed cannon on the south gate suddenly let out a roar, and an eight-pound round iron bullet flew out in an arc.

The projectile flew high all the way over the line where the shield car was located, and then there was another "bang". It smashed into the open space behind the shield car array.

The captives who pushed the shield cart were suddenly frightened by this cannonball, and let out a panicked shout.

There were even a few prisoners who were completely broken down by the frightened spirit, and they turned around and fled back in fright.

It's a pity that the Houjin Army has a supervision team, and the Huaxia Army also has a gendarmerie team, and these prisoners just ran a few steps before they were cut down to the ground by the gendarmes who were in charge of escorting the car and guarding the prisoners.

After slashing the fleeing captives, the gendarmes escorting the car carried the ferocity of slashing the deserters, holding their sabers and shouting loudly, allowing the captives to continue to advance.

While the gendarmes were busy suppressing and driving the captives back forward, the red-coated cannons on the castle tower had already been re-cleared, and before the prisoners could advance many steps, they fired again.

This time, the projectiles fired by the artillery were closer to the shield car array, and the gendarmes loudly reminded the captives and kept saying words of encouragement.

The cannons on the city wall have a fixed firing angle, as long as they get close to the bottom of the city wall, Houjin's red-coated cannon will completely lose its effect.

The captives were in a panic and pushed with all their strength, and the shield cart pushed faster and faster with their joint efforts.

When they reached a distance of about 500 meters from the city wall, their line was finally hit by the red-coated cannons.

A shield cart in the back of the flanks shattered like a castle of sand piled up on the beach.

The eight-kilogram round iron bullet, driven by the deflagration of compacted black powder, had a powerful kinetic energy that exploded the trunk of the thick tree into countless pieces.

The captives of the cart were even more miserable, and the red flesh and blood were flying sideways by the iron bullets and the fragments of the shield cart scattered around, and the stumps and broken arms were ejected a few meters away.

It wasn't just the prisoners who were unlucky, but also two companies of infantry behind the shield cart.

Behind this shield cart, there was exactly half a squad, about 6 or 7 soldiers of the first mixed brigade infantry battalion.

After the captives had taken most of the damage, half of the squad of soldiers also fell in a hurry.

When the shells hit the ground, the miserable howl sounded like an earth-shattering sound.

The captives in the shield car array, under the results of this cannonball, were suddenly in chaos.

The gendarmes in charge of suppressing the formation, with the soldiers of the two companies of the main attack, tried hard to suppress the chaotic situation, but this cannon really frightened many prisoners, and they fled behind despite the strength of the resistance.

It wasn't until the gendarmes really hacked and killed more than 20 deserters who were running at the front in a row that the panicked coats were shocked and started to move forward again.

Fortunately, the red-coated cannon on the city wall, because of the technical means and smelting materials, was not very well cast, and after three shots, it had to stop firing.

However, at this time, the Huaxia Army's offensive array was already closer to the Houjin City Wall, so the small-caliber artillery on the head of the city was also added to the firing sequence.

In the continuous sound of cannons, more than 20 puffs of smoke erupted from the city, and the officers of the Huaxia Army in the distance held binoculars to observe this, and in the last total, there were about ten or less general cannons, plus more than a dozen second general cannons.

The "salvo" of more than 20 guns of different calibers and sizes with different levels of fire and gunpowder was very spectacular.

The faces of the officers of the Huaxia Army were very unpleasant, because they knew that these artillery pieces were also captured by the Later Jin Dynasty during the previous battles with the Ming Army.

The general cannon was made in the Ming Dynasty during the Wanli period, and this kind of artillery weighed more than 300 catties, and it made great contributions in the Wanli period of the anti-Japanese campaign to aid Korea.

It is a pity that after so many years, this kind of artillery has fallen far behind the times, and these smoothbore guns weighing two or three hundred pounds not only have extremely poor accuracy, but also have a serious lack of range.

More than 20 generals' guns fired a "salvo", but as a result, only four shield cars were overturned.

However, in terms of firepower density, this battle of Fuzhou City is really very different from the last time it attacked Jinzhou City.

Zachdan and the officers of the 1st Mixed Brigade, although they had already received the information delivered by the pre-customs department in advance, were still slightly worried at this moment when they saw the constantly flickering fire on the head of the city.

After this round of volleys, the rest of the Huaxia Army Shield Vehicle Array still safely walked into a place about 300 meters away from the city wall.

The redcoat cannon was originally copied from the naval guns of other countries fished out of the sea by the Dutch, and was a specialized naval cannon.

As a cannon, the trajectory of this cannon is relatively straight, and after being placed on the city wall, there is naturally a large dead end.

The archers on the city wall basically did not pose any threat to the shield chariots, and when the first battalion of infantry entered the city and fired at the Houjin army, the rifles in the hands of the Huaxia army had a great advantage.
