In the early morning, the city of Guangzhou was shrouded in a layer of mist.

At this time, the battalions got up early in the morning to replace the guards who had been on guard last night.

Hao Fenglou was dressed in military uniform, and as soon as he left the place where he was staying, someone came to tell him that the Ming army was attacking the city!

West Side.

Outside the city here, there is a shoal, because of this, it is difficult to build fortifications, so this is also the weakest point of the defense of Guangzhou City.

When Hao Fenglou arrived here, the explosions outside the city had already broken the eardrums.

Just a few miles outside the city wall, countless black-pressed people pushed towards here, and from time to time, the mines stepped on and exploded, flying sand and rocks, blowing out a large pit with no one around, leaving a severed arm and stump in the ground.

Outside the city of Guangzhou, there are dense mines, this mine, is the Hao family's gunpowder workshop production, originally in Tiance Mansion, when the workshop in the study of gunpowder, after making such a 'by-product', the logistics department also conducted a study on this, the result of the conclusion is not very useful, not suitable for production and procurement.

In fact, this conclusion is not that the people in the logistics department are ignorant and do not have discernment, but because the Lang Son army has always taken the initiative to attack, and rarely defends, even if it is defensive, artillery and hand ammunition are enough, and it is really difficult to enter the eyes of the generals such as mines.

In the end, Hao Fenglou overrode public opinion and purchased a batch, but now, these things have come in handy.

For example, the Ming army that moved outside the city to cover the clouds and the sun, they swarmed and killed here, shouting to kill the heavens. At this time, it had not yet entered the effective range of artillery. The firearms and handballs are even more out of reach, if they wait for them to kill. It is a pity to be a little regretful, but in those places, the defenders have already planted mines, and they rush to kill, from time to time they explode around them, and then fly directly into the sky, and the bones are gone, which is a huge challenge to the will of people.

These old hills in the border towns. And at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court used troops against the desert for many years, these people have experienced a hundred battles, which one is not an outlaw, they may not be afraid of the Tatar war horses and sabers, nor are they afraid of the shooting of guns and artillery, because they have experienced the battle array, they know that the lethality of guns is limited, and even if the artillery is extremely powerful. But at least, when it roared, the huge cannonball had a track.

It's just this mine, but it's like a nightmare. But at some point, he suddenly exploded under his feet, or suddenly blew his partner to pieces. These old Qiu Ba suddenly became cautious and cautious. Many people's hearts are constantly beating drums, and every inexplicable explosion occurs. There will be a brief commotion.

People's greatest fear comes from the unknown, even if these tens of thousands of pioneers who are attacking the city are the elite of the elite, and they have always been bold, but now, they are retreating in their hearts.

On the farthest stall, Zhang Fu, the governor of the left capital, rode a high-headed horse, surrounded by a team of personal soldiers, supervising the battle here, and the explosions everywhere in front made Zhang Fu frown, and his heart was quite uncomfortable.

In order to protect Mingzhe, he had to decide to attack the city today, but these hundreds of thousands of military horses were not fully prepared, and it can even be said that there is an epidemic in the army at the moment, and there is no way to deal with this mine externally.

"Why hasn't the artillery come forward to assist in the siege?"

A herald beside him listened to Zhang Fu's words and went quickly, but after a while, a thousand households staggered over and stepped on the sand, bowed down under Zhang Fu's horse, and said: "Dudu, this artillery, I'm only afraid of ......."

Zhang Fu frowned: "What's wrong?" ”

The thousand households said with a pitiful face: "Our artillery, if we want to erect it in the past, if we want to reach the city wall, we need to set up a fort at least 800 meters, but ...... It's just that...... I heard that the artillery of the Lang Son army fired farther, and that they were condescending, and the range was only twice as long, so they ...... Thus...... The humble subordinates did not build forts to siege the city, otherwise they had not been set up, and the artillery on the head of the city would be fired, and we would ...... We're going to be a mess, lowly...... Humble ......"

Zhang Fu listened, he was immediately angry, but he couldn't attack again, the principle of an inch long and an inch strong is also applicable to artillery, people are condescending, you are fighting from low to high, there is no high ground nearby, set up a battery here, isn't it to die?

Zhang Fu was just silent, no longer paying attention to the war-fearing thousand households, and said bluntly: "Beat the drum!" ”

The herald raised the command flag......

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Knock knock knock......

The drums sounded like thunder, this was the command to urge the soldiers, and the team that had been slow before, under the sound of this drum, finally glowed with blood.

One drew a knife: "Kill!" ”

Countless long knives and firearms were raised, and the sound of the drum suppressed the loud explosions that came from time to time, which gave people great courage, so countless people flocked to the west city.

The person who took the lead in drawing the knife was a veteran, who followed Zhang Yu's expedition to the east and west, and has always been known for his bravery, he is addicted to alcohol, and it is easy to make mistakes when he drinks, so now he should at least be a commander or a commander to know the same thing, but until now, it is still only a small hundred households.

It's just that this person is known for his boldness, he is stationed in Beiping, and when everyone sees him, they all call him Shi Dangdang, so that his real name, everyone has long forgotten jì. Plainly, when some officials saw him, they didn't dare to make a mistake, and they were respectful to him.

This time, he was specially ordered to take the lead, in fact, it meant to use its courage.

Shi Dangdang shouted violently, and rushed to kill the past in the first place, everyone was infected by him, and suddenly the momentum was like a rainbow, this courage quickly spread, and many people's eyes were red, like ants, densely rushing to kill the past.

The people at the head of the city were somewhat nervous, because under the city, the mountains were all over the wilderness, and there were enemies everywhere, endlessly, and when you looked up, the crowd of people was like an endless black wave, and there was no end in sight.

However, the training of the Lang Son Army has never been about courage, but it is professional, and everyone is a screw in the army, whether it is training or fighting, what they have to do is to do their part well.

The professional rangefinder military attache had roughly calculated the distance and immediately reported to the artillery battalion.

There were three long and one short bamboo whistles in the artillery camp.

Immediately, all the artillerymen who heard the sound of the bamboo whistle immediately blew the bamboo whistle, and soon, all the artillery positions on the city wall that were hundreds of meters long received orders.

The artillerymen who loaded the shells quickly filled the gunpowder with iron bars and loaded the shells, and the artillery was constantly calibrated, and in fact, in fact, they had nothing to calibrate, because the siege army under pressure of the black press, whether calibrated or not, could pass through with one shot and blow up a piece of people.

As soon as the necessary processes were ready, all the prepared artillery immediately stood upright.

At the end of the artillery corps, the military attachés saw a man straighten up until everyone was standing in a line, so they ordered the flag, and immediately after that, the artillerymen moved......

Thundered...... Thundered......

Hundreds of artillery pieces roared.

These cannons, all of which are newly developed sharp weapons in Lang Son, have been significantly improved in terms of power and range, and hundreds of artillery pieces roared together, and the power emitted was enough to shake the earth, and even the entire city wall seemed to be trembling, and some of the weak points of the city wall were actually large pieces of falling rubble.

Although Lang Son's artillery tried its best to improve its recoil, the greater the power, the greater the recoil, and if it had not been for the temporary reinforcement of the walls of the city of Canton with the help of the engineer battalion, it would have collapsed long ago.

This rain of cannons fell down the city.

Then, the hellish scene on earth reappeared, the power of the artillery, far greater than the mines, and it was a salvo, and suddenly, countless gunpowder smoke filled the city, and the artillery fire was like a thunderbolt and lightning to illuminate the dim sky like day.

Countless people were wailing, countless people were flying with flesh and blood, and many people were covered in holes and covered in blood from the broken nails from the shells, and they were rolling on the ground in pain. What fell from the sky was a rain of blood, and some people suddenly lost consciousness in their eardrums blown by the sound of this huge artillery, they looked ahead in horror, looked at the flow of people around them in some panic, watched someone open their big mouths and roared, and looked at the tongues of fire spit out from the distant city wall, but they couldn't hear it, they couldn't hear a word or a half, it was like a mime, only to see the exaggerated performances of countless people, but it was quiet and palpitating.

The flow of people is still swarming forward, but it is leaving corpses everywhere.

The cannon sounded again, and everyone, in this cannon rain, was like a light boat in the ocean, big waves after big waves, as if there was never an end, the storm was howling and roaring, and no one knew whether they would bury the depths of the sea in the next moment.
