In just half an hour, the first attack of Ganning's new army was repulsed by itself.

Looking at the hundreds of musketeers retreating on the battlefield, the tense face of the regiment commander Xiao Dan directly showed a fluke smile from the heart......

Yes, it's a fluke......

If the sword and shield man who rushed to the foot of the city wall was very familiar with grenades, he would use grenades.

The grenades that really fell on the walls and exploded, there were at least a hundred.

Thirty grenades caused more than 100 casualties to the defenders at the head of the city, and more than 100 grenades exploded at the same time, as long as there was no accident, three or four hundred casualties were caused to the defenders at the head of the city.

At that time, the battalion defending the city wall, even if not all the troops are destroyed, will completely lose its combat effectiveness in the sound of explosions.

However, this smile full of luck did not last long, and was covered by the solemnity that followed.

Although it was the first time for him to fight with the Ganning New Army, the past achievements of the Ganning New Army showed himself without exception that the commander of the Ganning New Army was a very shrewd and capable commander.

Since the other party is so powerful, then the other party must have seen the whole battle process with his own eyes. I saw the grenade thrown by the sword and shield men under his command on the city wall, but before it exploded, it was thrown out of the city by the Haw Par Army.

Under such circumstances, the commander-in-chief of the new army of Ganning will definitely make adjustments. Learn from the Haw Par Army, let the sword and shield hand under his command, throw the grenade later, and don't give the Haw Par Army a chance to throw the grenade back.

However, in this way, in the next battle. There won't be any more flukes.

Xiao Dan's inference was not wrong. For the end of the almost total annihilation of the 5,000 soldiers under his command.

Ganning Governor Zhang Zhongming's face. Not only did he not show the expected solemn expression, but a hint of an imperceptible sneer flashed.

Because, from this attack, he was very keenly aware of the shortcomings of the soldiers under his command compared to the Haw Par Army's defending troops.

As the saying goes, eating a lamp is already wise. Zhang Zhongming is confident that in the next battle, the soldiers under his command will not make the same mistake on the same issue. Again beaten by the Haw Par Army, the wolf bèi retreated......

So, in the next attack, Zhang Zhongming directly adjusted his tactical tactics.

The same 5,000 attacking troops, except that in this attack, there were 1,000 fewer musketeers, and 1,000 more swordsmen and shield men with grenades.

The attack that just ended made Zhang Zhongming see it clearly. In the absence of terrain advantages, even if the soldiers under his command are armed with the same muskets as the Haw Par Army. There is no way to take advantage of the slightest advantage in musket fire.

And the only role of the musketeers on the battlefield is. Focus the attention of the defenders' musketeers and artillerymen on themselves. At the cost of his own death on the battlefield, cover the sword and shield men to approach the city wall and eliminate the city wall defenders with grenades.

Since the musketeers are death squads and death-sending characters, why do they send so many people to their deaths......

Although the sky had become dark, the five thousand Ganning new army still rushed to the battlefield without hesitation.

Xiao Dan, who had just cleaned up the corpses of the soldiers killed in the city and had not had time to catch his breath. In the face of a new round of attack by Ganning's new army, the already frowning brows were even deeper at this moment.

With his keen sense of the battlefield, Xiao Dan was sure that the attack in front of him must be more difficult to deal with than just now.

However, in the case of limited strength and strength, what Xiao Dan can do is to give full play to his firepower advantage as much as possible.

So, Xiao Dan, who was frowning, didn't think about it and ordered: "Artillery, artillery, artillery will fire immediately......"

The flowering bullet with a screaming sound crossed the city wall and smashed steadily in the middle of the attacking troops of the Ganning New Army.

However, the results of these nine flowering bombs were unsatisfactory.

Zhang Zhongming, who has suffered many losses from the artillery of the Tiger and Leopard Army, has become smart this time.

The 5,000 attacking troops were no longer gathered in a swarm. Instead, they pushed as far as they could towards the walls.

And the result of this guidance was that the nine flowering shells only achieved the result of killing and injuring more than 50 Ganning New Army.

In this way, the Ganning New Army, which was attacked continuously by red-coat artillery, medium mortars, and even light mortars, managed to rush into the range of muskets with a loss of less than a thousand men.

At this time, not only the regiment commander Xiao Dan, but also the chief of staff and the first battalion commander also showed a solemn and worried expression on their faces.

"Regiment commander, the new army of Ganning that is attacking this time is even more difficult than just now...... I'm worried that the strength of a battalion won't be able to stop their attack at all......" The chief of staff with a solemn face subconsciously reminded.

The head of the regiment, Xiao Dan, did not deny this fact. After taking a deep breath, he ordered to the chief of staff: "Order the second battalion, be ready for battle, and be ready to reinforce the city wall at any time......"

"Also, inform all the soldiers on the city wall to prepare for grenades......

As he spoke, a dense burst of gunfire began to ring out at the head of the city......

With a screaming sound, the flowering bullets that kept passing over everyone's heads also smashed on the musket array of the new army in Ganning, killing and injuring their living force as much as possible.

And just when buckshot, flowering bullets, you come and go on the battlefield, flying around.

There were still more than 3,000 people left, and Gan Ning's new saber and shield bearers had already taken their shields and rushed towards the city wall regardless of a single thing.

At this time, Xiao Dan, who only wanted to prevent these sword and shield men from approaching the city wall, and regardless of whether they entered the effective killing range of the grenade, he directly opened his mouth and ordered: "Bomb, bombardier, throw the grenade immediately...... If you have more strength, throw me two at a time, and the more grenades you throw, the safer we will be......"

Soon, a dense explosion sounded outside the city.

With the explosion of the grenade, the fireballs and gunpowder smoke that rose into the air also shrouded the area of thirty or forty steps outside the city at the first time.

However, no matter how hard these bombardiers tried for five rounds, they could not take care of all aspects of the battlefield that stretched for two hundred paces.

Soon, there was a new saber and shield hand of Gan Ning with a shield on his head, rushing out of the smoke and approaching the city wall.

Maybe it's because they've just come out of death, and after they have come out of the smoke, they don't even fear death anymore.

Drop the shield you need to save your life and light the grenade that is clenched tightly in your hand. After a slight pause, he threw it at the head of the city.

Although the sword and shield hand was eliminated the first time the grenade was thrown, the grenade emitting white smoke still flew up the city wall and exploded as soon as it landed.

A scream sounded behind the explosion, and the four tiger and leopard soldiers were blown to the ground before they could react. (To be continued......)
