In the early morning, Guangzhou City was covered with a layer of mist.

At this time, the battalions got up early and replaced the guards who had been guarding last night.

Hao Fenglou was dressed in military uniform. As soon as he left his bed, someone came to report that the Ming army had captured the city!

West City.

Outside the city here is a shallow, and because of this, it is difficult to build fortifications, so this is also the weakest part of Guangzhou City’s defense.

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

Just outside the city wall, countless black people pushed towards this place. From time to time, landmines stomped on, and then exploded, sand and stones flew out, and an unmanned pit was blown up, leaving behind broken arms and limbs on the ground.

There are landmines outside Guangzhou city. This mine is produced by the Hao family's gunpowder workshop. It was originally in Tiance Mansion. After the workshop was studying gunpowder and produced such a "by-product", the Logistics Department also conducted a discussion on this, but the conclusion reached was not very useful and was not suitable for production and procurement.

This conclusion is actually not because the people in the Logistics Department do not know the goods and have no keen eyes. Because the Lang Son Army has always fought, they have taken the initiative to attack and rarely defend. Even if it is defense, it is enough to have artillery and hand bullets. Things like landmines that are waiting for rabbits are really difficult to catch the eyes of all generals.

In the end, Hao Fenglou went against the crowd and purchased a batch, but now these things come in handy.

For example, the Ming army moving outside the city was covered with clouds and sun, swarming towards the place, shouting and killing the sky. At this time, the firearms and hand bullets were even more inaccessible. If they waited for them to come, it would be a bit regretful. However, in those places, the defenders had already buried mines. They rushed around them, exploded from time to time, and then flew directly into the sky, without any bones. This was a huge challenge to human will.

The Laoqiu Eighths in the border town. In the early Ming Dynasty, the imperial court used wars against the desert for many years. These people had been through many battles. None of them were outlaws. They might not be afraid of the Tatars' war horses and sabers, nor were they afraid of the shooting of muskets and cannons. It was because they had experienced battle formations that they knew that the lethality of muskets was limited, and even the power of guns was extremely powerful. But at least, when the roar came, the huge shells had tracks to follow.

But it was this landmine, but it seemed like a nightmare. However, at some point, it suddenly exploded under his feet, or suddenly exploded his friends around him into pieces. These Lao Qiu Ba suddenly became cautious and careful. Many people kept beating in their hearts, and every inexplicable explosion would cause a brief commotion.

People's greatest fear comes from the unknown. Even though these tens of thousands of pioneers who attacked the city are the elite among the elites and have always been brave, now they are all repelling.

On the farthest stall, the left governor Zhang Fu rode a tall horse, surrounded by a team of personal soldiers, supervising the battle. The explosions in front of him made Zhang Fu frown, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

In order to protect himself, he had to decide to attack the city today, but the hundreds of thousands of troops were not fully prepared. It can even be said that there is an epidemic in the army and has not taken out a way to deal with the mines. He knew in his heart that he was driving these people to die to some extent, but at the moment, the only thing he did was to grit his teeth and pray that God would be able to succeed today's battle.

"Why haven't the artillery battalion pushed forward to assist in the siege?"

A messenger beside him heard Zhang Fu's words and went there quickly. After a while, a thousand households staggered over in the sand, bowed down under Zhang Fu's horse, and said, "Governor, I'm afraid of this artillery..."

Zhang Fu frowned: "What happened?"

The thousand households said pitifully: "If we want to set up our artillery, we must reach the city wall, and we must set up a fort at least 800 meters. But... I heard that the Lang Son army's artillery fired farther, and they were condescending, and the range was afraid that it was twice theirs. Therefore... I don't recommend setting up a fort to attack the city, otherwise before it was installed, when the cannons on the city were fired, we... we will be ruined, humble... humble..."

After hearing this, Zhang Fu was furious, but he couldn't do it. The principle of one inch long and one inch stronger is also applicable to artillery. People are condescending, but you are shooting from low to high. There is no high ground nearby. Setting up a fort here is not going to die?

Zhang Fu was speechless, ignoring the Qianhu who was afraid of war, and said straightforwardly: "Beat the drum!"

The messenger raised the flag...

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

Dongdongdongdongdong...

The drum sounded like thunder, which was the command to promote the soldiers. The team that had been slow before finally rejuvenated under the sound of the drum.

One person drew out his knife: "Kill!"

Countless long swords and muskets were raised, and the drum sound suppressed the loud explosions that came from time to time, adding great courage to people, so countless people flocked to the west city.

The first person to draw the sword was a veteran. He was known for his bravery when he followed Zhang Yu to fight in the east and fought. He was addicted to alcohol and could easily make things happen after drinking. Therefore, now he should at least be a commander or commander-in-chief. As a result, he is still a small household.

However, this person is known for his courage. He is stationed in Peiping. When everyone sees him, he calls him Shi Gandang, and everyone has long forgotten his real name. Even some Shangguans dare not act rashly when they see him, and they are respectful to him.

This time he was specially ordered to take the lead, but in fact he wanted to use his courage.

Shi Gandang shouted loudly and rushed over with one step ahead. Everyone was infected by him and immediately became as powerful as a rainbow of momentum. This courage quickly spread. Many people's eyes turned red, like ants, rushed over with densely densely.

The people on the top of the city were somewhat nervous, because under the city, there were enemies everywhere, endless. Looking up, the crowd was filled with endless black waves, and there was no end at all.

However, the Lang San Army has never practiced courage, but is professional. Everyone is a screw in the army. Whether it is practice or fighting, what they have to do is do their part.

The professional distance-finding military officer had roughly calculated the distance and immediately reported to the artillery battalion.

Three long and one short bamboo whistle sounded here in the artillery camp.

Immediately, all the artillery soldiers who heard the sound of the bamboo whistle immediately blew the bamboo whistle. Soon, everyone in the artillery position hundreds of meters long on the city wall received the order.

The artillery loaded the shells quickly filled the gunpowder with iron bars and loaded the shells. The artillery kept calibrating. In fact, they had nothing to calibrate, because the siege army that was too heavy to calibrate or not can be calibrated, and could blow up a group of people in one shot.

After all the necessary procedures were prepared, all the ready artillery immediately stood straight.

At the end of the artillery team, the military officers saw a person straightening their bodies until everyone stood in a straight line. So they ordered the flag, and then the artillery soldiers immediately moved...

Rumble... Rumble...

Hundreds of cannons roared.

These artillery are all newly developed weapons by Lang Son. They have significantly improved their power and range. The power of hundreds of artillery roars together is enough to shock the earth. Even the entire city wall seems to be trembling. Some of the weak parts of the city wall are large pieces of falling gravel.

Although Lang Son's artillery tried its best to improve its recoil, the greater the power, the greater the recoil. If the walls of Guangzhou City had not been temporarily reinforced with the help of the engineer battalion, they would have collapsed long ago.

The sky full of cannon rain hit the city.

Then, the hell-like scene on earth reappeared. The power of the cannons was far greater than that of landmines. Moreover, it was a volley. Suddenly, countless gunpowders filled the city, and the cannon fire was like thunder and lightning, illuminating the dark sky like daytime.

Countless people were wailing, countless people were flying flesh and blood, and many were pricked by the broken nails blown out of the shell, covered in blood, rolling in pain on the ground. Blood rain fell from the sky, and some people suddenly lost their sense of the eardrums by the sound of the huge cannon. They looked ahead in horror, looking at the panic flow beside them, watching someone roaring with their mouths, and looking at the flames spurted out on the city wall in the distance, but they couldn't hear it, and could not hear a word or a half, just like a silent drama, only seeing the exaggerated performances of countless people, but they were quiet and palpitations.

The abortion was still swarming forward, but there were corpses all over the ground.

The sound of cannons sounded again. Everyone, in the cannon rain, was like a light boat in the vast ocean, with big waves followed by big waves, as if there was no end, the storm was roaring and roaring. No one knew whether they would be destroyed in the depths of the sea next moment.
