Sichuan, outside the south gate of Luxiangbao.

The city tower at the south gate of Shunxiang Fort, as the headquarters of Wang Dou's Chinese army, is close to the window, and is covered with thick quilts all around, and it is also wet with water, and the protection is very strong. Whether it's a bow or a rocket, they won't do much damage to the castle tower.

In the blink of an eye, the Qing archers had already thrown five or six rounds of arrows, and the Shunxiang army at the head of the city was suppressed at the head of the city and could not move. Take advantage of this opportunity. The Qing soldiers followed the wooden shields and a large number of auxiliary soldiers carrying earth-carrying carts behind the shield carts, and they hurriedly flashed out from behind the shield carts, carrying dirt things, and hurried to the place outside the city to reject horses and thistles.

There are also those shield cart wooden shields, which are slowly pushed again.

Defending the city wall on the left side of the south gate is Wen Fangliang's outpost, Wen Fangliang looked out through the lookout hole of the battlement wall, on his iron armor, there was also an arrow thrown in by the Qing soldiers hanging obliquely, he didn't care, seeing a large number of Qing soldiers and auxiliaries outside the city coming with the cart, his handsome face was full of excitement.

He shouted: "Flying spears and flying swords are ready!" ”

Immediately, on the battlements of the city wall on the left, more than a dozen ironclad fire locks and soldiers holding large rockets appeared. The fire spring was aimed low at the Qing soldiers and auxiliaries who rushed in. They all set their rockets on the aphids, and around them, one or two auxiliaries held shields to cover them.

"Shoot!"

It exploded like thunder, and a tube of Chiang's rocket shot out, and the city was full of smoke.

Hundreds of rockets whizzed away, and even if they flew scattered, many of them didn't know where to go. But the Qing soldiers and servants under the city were dense, and there was no slightest protection, more than ten rockets aimed at them in a volley, and there were still continuous screams under the city, and a large number of Qing soldiers and servants were shot.

Those rockets were propelled by gunpowder, and the unarmored soldiers who were shot were extremely deep into their bodies, and they all rolled to the ground in pain.

At the same time, at the outpost of Sun Sanjie on the city wall on the right side of the south gate, there was also the sound of a large rocket exploding, and there were also many Qing soldiers who were shot dead and wounded.

Fifteen tiger squat cannons were erected on the southern city wall, all of which were erected on the gun carriages, lined up.

This tiger squat cannon is the most commonly equipped small cannon in the Ming army, the cannon body weighs only a few dozen catties, the effective lethality is twenty or thirty steps, and there are no large shells in it, all of which are small lead pellets of one color. If the lead pellet is larger, the cannon can be filled with 50 leads. The clamp pellets are smaller, and the cannon can be filled with hundreds of leads. It can even be filled with porcelain tiles, stones, etc.

The tiger squat cannon at the head of the city has already been filled with sub-medicine, and after sending gunpowder to the medicine line, it is filled with a little soil, and then it is loaded with a layer of wrong iron, built with soil, and finally filled with nearly 100 lead pellets and stones, and these lead pellets are built and spread to the muzzle of the cannon.

The two gunners beside each tiger squat cannon at the head of the city had already been prepared, and there were two of them beside them. The auxiliaries held shields to shield them from the arrows that were thrown from outside the city.

After hearing the sound of the order to prepare, the gunners pushed the muzzles on the gun carriages to the battlements and aimed them at the Qing soldiers outside the city. It is conceivable that when these lead pellets are fanned out, they will have the power of those unarmored Qing soldiers and auxiliaries outside the city.

The Qing soldiers and servants outside the city who were busy picking up dirt carts were still glad that there was no movement in the city. Under their busy work, there are already some tribulus terrestris in the city that have been cleaned up by them. But then some sharp-eyed people saw the black cannon muzzle at the head of the city slowly poking out, and some people recognized a few Ming army's Tu squat cannons, and their faces were like ashes for a while.

Those people were about to shout loudly, when the voice of the Ming army came from the city: "Open the cannon!" ”

There was a loud bang, thick fire and smoke rose from the south of the city from time to time, and the lead pills and stones shot out by a gate tiger squatting cannon on the city were like a big broom, sweeping the unarmored Qing soldiers under the city to the ground, and many people were blurred in flesh and blood. The body was full of thick holes swept by projectiles, and some people were not dead for a while, but just rolled to the ground and screamed miserably.

Like a sudden wind and rain, the Qing soldiers and auxiliaries under the city were all terrified, they turned around, screamed and fled backwards.

There are more than 200 battlements on the south wall of the old fort of Shunxiang Fort, and an average of a pointed mirror hand can occupy a sister mouth to shoot. By this time, the enemy situation was clear. The Qing army also reinforced some people to join the attack on the southern wall, and Wang Dou estimated that they included the Mongol soldiers, and the enemy army attacking the southern gate was about 3,500 people.

Seeing that they were concentrating on attacking the south gate, Wang Dou also mobilized the Han Dynasty Department and Zhong Tiaoyang Department to defend the eastern city wall, and let them participate in the defense of the southern city wall together, and Han Zhong's left outpost continued to remain unchanged as a reserve.

Four sentinels have four hundred fire mirror hands, which is more than enough to defend a city wall, and in order to improve the accuracy of the fire fluke, each sentry has two teams of 100 fire commanders. It's all people from one team shooting, and people from the other team reloading the pills. After the fire scope is finished, the fire scope is newly loaded with ammunition, so that the shooting is more calm and unhurried, and the shooting accuracy is better improved. And the fire continued.

Among the fire commanders at each battlement, there is an auxiliary soldier next to him, holding a large shield to cover beside him. The fire commander is responsible for aiming and shooting at the Qing soldiers who are picking up carts under the city, and the shield hand next to him is responsible for watching the movements of the Qing archers under the city. If a bow or arrow is fired, cover it up quickly.

In addition to the shield hand next to them, most of the fire commanders leaned against the battlement wall next to the battlement. When they shoot, they look at one target in advance. After having made a decision, they shot outward from the battlements, and under such tactics, their hit rate was greatly increased, and the casualty rate of their own side was greatly increased.

The head of Shunxiang Fort was filled with smoke, the sound of fire shooting resounded in the sky, and the rows of fire mirrors at the head of the city were down, and the Qing soldiers outside the city were killed and wounded. The fire mirror of Shunxiang Fort is no better than a bow and arrow, as long as it is hit. If you don't die, you have to be seriously injured. Even those elite Qing soldiers wearing two layers of heavy armor couldn't resist the shooting of the Shunxiang Army, let alone those unarmored auxiliaries.

One by one, they were shot and rolled to the ground, screaming and wailing, and the city was full of corpses and blood of Qing soldiers and auxiliaries, and discarded dirt burdens and carts everywhere. The archers of the Qing army desperately took cover, they continued to shoot at the head of the city, some of them were good marksmen, and they were mixed in with the archers who suppressed the shooting, and three or four of them stared at a battlement at the head of the city, and the defenders showed their heads and shot.

However, the fire mirror soldiers in the castle have shield cover (). After seeing a target, they quickly retracted back to the battlement wall after the fire was completed, so that the Qing soldiers and archers under the city had few results, and the Qing soldiers and archers also had a problem of arm failure, after they shot about ten arrows, whether it was the head or the strength, they were not as good as the first few arrows, and the fire mirror soldiers of the Shunxiang army did not have this problem.

Although there were still fire soldiers and auxiliaries at the head of the city from time to time who were shot by bows and arrows under the city, the casualties were much lower than those of the Qing soldiers. Compared with the offensive and defensive battles of the previous days, the casualty rate is also much lower, and the summary of the experience of the Shunxiang Army's offensive and defensive battles shows good results.

Not only that, but there are also tiger squat cannons at the head of the city. Every time a large number of Qing archers or auxiliaries gathered under the city, the Shunxiang army at the head of the city used artillery against them.

The tiger squat cannons at the head of the city cooled down at the muzzle, and after the gunpowder projectiles were newly loaded, the artillery mounts were moved around the head of the city, and the Qing soldiers under the city were most densely followed by archers or auxiliaries, and they were transferred to whichever place, and when the artillery bombarded, a large number of Qing soldiers under the city screamed and were knocked to the ground.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, in a short period of time, the Qing soldiers had already paid nearly 300 casualties, but none of the trenches outside the city were filled. Although most of the casualties were the auxiliaries in the Qing army, these auxiliaries followed. It is also a valuable population in the cattle records. As long as they are willing to spend here, Wang Dou will accompany them to the end.

At this time, the casualties of Shunxiang Fort were only a few dozen, and most of them were auxiliary soldiers who were injured by arrows or were shot straight by.

At this time, Wang Dou also put his mind at ease. Looking at the battle situation, there is no problem at all for holding Shunxiang Fort by himself, this artillery and fire dyssopium are used properly, and it is really a sharp weapon to defend the city. Thinking of the Battle of Yaksa in history, the 800-strong Russian soldiers withstood the long-term attack of tens of thousands of Qing soldiers, and finally ended the war with Kangxi ceding a large area of land.

There are 5,000 Qing soldiers under the city, and he has 3,500 people, of which 1,300 are soldiers, and there are 500 fire commanders in it. If you want to know what happened next, please log in to the chapter for more and support the author. Support genuine reading!
