Seeing the earthen wall in the distance shaking heavily, Dong Ce nodded slightly, revealing a smile.

He was relieved now, and sure enough, his plan was feasible. It doesn't sound reliable to bombard the city wall with a big gun, and it's almost the same if it's a Franc cannon or something, but if most of the wall in front of you is made of adobe, it is neither high nor ***, and even the outer wall of the general village fort can't be compared, then it's a different matter.

There had been a test of bombarding the wall with a large gun before, and in fact, that test was prepared by Dong Ce for today.

Facing a stone wall or an earthen wall, the different effects of raising the gun also gave him a sense of confidence before making a plan.

After this round, the eight men in charge of the four big guns quickly took out a piece of cloth, poured the water in the water bladder, and soaked the cloth. The water bladder was still filled with hot water at the bottom of the mountain before the start of the fight, and there was still some residual temperature at this time, so they took a damp cloth to dry, at this temperature, the water on the cloth was easily and quickly cooled, and it was already a little cool in their hands. At this time, the housekeepers took a cloth and wiped it on the outside of the barrel to cool down the barrel, which had become a little hot because of a shot.

In fact, it seems that they are a little redundant to do this, because after putting a shot in the barrel, it is only slightly hot, and it usually does not explode. After three or four shots have been fired, the gun is so hot that it can hurt people, and if you still have to continue shooting, it is very likely that the chamber will explode.

But now they do it because they have their own plans. They weren't going to leave with a few shots, because Dong Ce's order was to blast a hole in the wall, and it had to be big enough. To tell the truth, they are not very underground in their hearts, and they don't know how long they will fight, so that they can discuss that they must cool down after each shot, and they must clean the inside of the barrel, so that the temperature of the gun will not soar to a very dangerous level, and they can continue to shoot steadily, which is much better than having to stop after putting a few shots.

After cooling the outside of the barrel, use special equipment to clean the inside of the barrel and get out the remaining gunpowder and other things inside.

They are very neat under their hands, after all, since they were planned by Dong to the big gun lifting group, I don't know how many times they have done this kind of work, and they are extremely familiar, and practice makes perfect. That is, in less than half a column of incense, it is already done properly, and then reload the ammunition and set up the stance.

"Boom!"

Another deafening roar!

Four lead bullets slammed into the wall again, perhaps because of the round of shooting test hand just now, this time the hit rate was a little higher than the last time, which can be seen from the landing point of the lead bullets. Almost all of the four lead bullets smashed into the area of the wall with a radius of more than two feet, and this is also the landing point of the four lead bullets during the first round of shooting, and because of the first round of shooting, this position has become the most vulnerable piece of the entire wall.

The wall shook violently again.

This time, Bai Mazi and the others standing on the wall felt even more obvious. Not only shaking, but the area hit by the lead bullet was deeply sunk into several large holes, and with this area as the center, more than a dozen huge cracks were scattered, spreading in all directions, and the cracks that went up were even about to reach the top of the wall.

Suddenly, the wall shuddered again, and then it fell outward. Bai Mazi was not on guard, and none of them stood firmly, but they sat down on the ground, and the other horse thieves standing on the wall were even more panicked.

It was clear to everyone what that meant: the walls were about to fall.

Bai Mazi stood up with the support of his cronies, and immediately ordered: "All down, all down, don't stay up." ”

He was careful even when he stood up, for fear that if he made a big move, he would directly collapse the wall.

When the thieves were given the order, they all retreated cautiously. Bai Mazi had to let them retreat, this wall could collapse at any time, the wall was not very high, even if it fell, it would not be too serious, but in case the wall was buried under the ground, it was not a fun thing. Even if you don't get buried underneath, you will vomit blood if you are hit by those very small adobes.

However, although they retreated, they did not retreat too far, and there was an open space in the western wall, and there were few houses, which could accommodate a lot of people. After Bai Mazi arranged all the more than 80 horse thieves to the back of the wall for 30 steps, more than 80 people stood in a row, forming a very large concave arc. Such an arrangement can spill a large number of feather arrows at the moment when the officers and soldiers come in, and more than 80 people will release arrows at the same time, which can also be called a rain of arrows, which will inevitably cause huge casualties to the officers and soldiers.

This is also the idea that Bai Mazi just came up with. Of course, he knew that if he arranged his manpower like this, once he was killed by the officers and soldiers under the rain of arrows, it would be the end of chaos and complete overthrow of the whole army, but Bai Mazi just wanted to kill more officers and soldiers! As for your own casualties, fuck them! Who cares about this?

Another salvo.

This time, the west wall of the Tiger Head Cottage finally failed to hold on. The lead bullet hit the area that hit it before, and the adobe there was already unbearable, and after this round of volleys, it was directly a clod of dirt flying around, and it actually smashed a hole the size of a pot lid for Shengsheng, and the four lead bullets did not fail to be embedded in the wall like the previous ones, but flew straight forward for a while. However, being blocked by the wall still weakened the forward force of the lead bullet a lot, and the four lead bullets did not hit the horse thieves standing behind the wall, but smashed heavily on the ground in front of them.

A cloud of smoke and dust exploded on the dry and hard ground, and because the ground was solid, it was the lead bullet that did not sink in, but jumped forward a few times, startling the horse thieves, and they were busy dodging, and there was another chaos.

And with the appearance of the big hole in the wall, the cracks on this section of the wall also became bigger and bigger, and finally there was a boom, and the wall completely collapsed, and countless adobes fell down and smashed on the ground, and smoke and dust rose everywhere.

When the smoke and dust cleared, everyone could see clearly, and a large opening more than a foot wide appeared on the west wall, and the location of this opening, only the two-foot-high wall base made of stone below was still intact, and the top had completely disappeared.

Three rounds of shooting, twelve buckshots, and finally a door was blasted out of this west wall! This gate is even larger than the south gate of the cottage.

That is, after Fang just shined and scared away many horse thieves, the big gun team made meritorious deeds! And this also shows that Dong Ce's decision to allocate manpower and weapons to form a large gun lifting team was not wrong.

Dong Ce nodded slightly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Separated by a gap. He could already see the horse thieves standing in an arc behind them. There were also lead bullets and gunpowder for the big guns, and these materials were quite well prepared for this expedition. If the large gun-carrying group is pushed forward for a certain distance, and then some soldiers are sent to guard them, so that they can shoot boldly and confidently, it will definitely be able to inflict some damage on the horse thieves.

But Dong Ce already didn't plan to continue shooting.

The first reason: after three rounds of shooting, the barrel is actually already hot, and if it is designed again, it will inevitably explode. And the more important reason is that it is time for the Rock Fort Infantry to exert their might. Dong Ce hoped to train the soldiers and enhance the actual combat experience of the soldiers, but he definitely did not want the soldiers to die. What he wants to do now is actually to neutralize the advantage occupied by the horse thieves, so that the two sides are on the same starting line, and then have a fair fight. That's right, Dong Ce wasn't joking, he just wanted a fair fight.
