Chapter 187 Look at what's in the eunuch's crotch
Wang Dehua discovered that although his side had more artillery than the opponent, he was completely at a disadvantage against the bombing.
The other party was covered by the city wall, and the cannon was huddled under the female wall as soon as it fired. Although his own cannons could occasionally collapse a few bricks on the female wall, they could not kill a few people at all.
The city wall near the north gate of Jingle City has long been burnt, with pits everywhere, but there are probably less than ten people killed or injured by the other party.
When one side was exposed to the wilderness, the other side fired at least one shot that could cause casualties.
In less than two quarters of an hour, more than a hundred Ming troops died, including several gunners, and the cannon stand of a Fran machine cannon was also smashed.
The Fran machine cannon has a fast firing rate, and the barrels of several cannons are extremely hot. The gunners are afraid of explosions and dare not fire the cannons again.
Among the two guns of Qin thief on the top of the city, one of the small ones stopped firing, but the big ones still roared and roared out whistling shells from time to time.
The generals present didn't know what kind of cannon it was. The loading speed was much faster than the Red Cannon. The cannons fired were slightly smaller than those of the Red Cannon, but their power was no less than that of the Red Cannon.
The most important thing is that the cannon was very accurate.
After discussing with Wang Dehua, Wang Kun, and several Ming army generals, they immediately decided to retreat, retreat to the camp first for a rest night, and then attack the city early tomorrow morning.
The three thousand Ming troops had already wanted to run away, but when they heard the sound of gongs, they ran back.
But they had already run two miles away, but the cannon on the top of the city was still roaring, and the howling shells could hit two miles away.
Wang Dehua and others' expressions changed. The thief named Qin had a red barbarian cannon.
Except for the Red Cannon, other artillery cannons cannot be shot so far.
After running back to the camp, Wang Dehua summoned the generals to discuss tomorrow's siege.
At night, Qin Chuan did not go to the night attack, because it was not yet time, and the Ming army must have been prepared.
Before dawn the next day, piles of flames rose up in the Ming army camp and began to make fire and rebel.
At dawn, the Ming army flocked out of the camp and built a pontoon bridge with a raft at the narrowest part of the Fen River. After crossing the river, they were divided into two parts. One gathered on the other side of the Fen River outside the west gate, and was collecting wood everywhere to prepare for the pontoon bridge. The other went around to the south of Jingle City and gathered on the other side of the Dongnian River, two miles away from the south gate.
Wang Dehua knew that the red cannons weighed thousands of pounds at any time, and the red cannon with the thief surnamed Qin had at least eight or nine hundred pounds. It would take a lot of effort and time to move such a heavy cannon from the north gate to the south gate.
So he decided to attack Nanmen and Ximen, with the main attack direction being Nanmen, and the five thousand main forces of the Ming army gathered at Nanmen.
One mile away from the west gate is the Fen River. The current Fen River is more than seven meters wide, so it is necessary to build a floating bridge to cross the river.
Two miles away from the south gate, there is a Dongnian River. This river was originally dry, but after the snow melted and it rained for several consecutive days, the river water is more than three meters wide and is as deep as it is above people's heads.
There was a wooden bridge on the river, which was a little smaller. Wang Dehua simply asked the army to cross the bridge and gather. Anyway, the opponent's red cannon was at the north gate.
But less than half of his five thousand main force crossed the river, a cannon suddenly sounded from the top of the Nanmen City.
It was the red cannon again, and the howling cannon hit the water next to the wooden bridge, splashing water more than ten feet high.
The dozen Ming soldiers who were crossing the bridge were trembling in fear, and a few of them were even scared to fall into the water.
The main forces of the two thousand Ming troops who had crossed the river were panicked. They were lined up by the river, so wouldn’t they become living targets?
Those who had not crossed the river looked at each other, and no one dared to step onto the wooden bridge.
Wang Dehua and several generals were stunned. Isn’t the Qin thief’s red barbarian cannon at the North Gate? Why did he run here?
Did he know that he had brought the cannons over overnight?
"Eunuch Wang, don't let the soldiers be timid." Zeng Caofei, the gentry general of Xuanzhen, whispered.
Wang Dehua came to his senses and hurriedly shouted in a sharp voice: "Don't be afraid, the Qin thief has only one red cannon. If you set up a formation, you can rush forward and kill -->>
One enemy will reward one tael of silver, one tael of silver for killing the Qin thieves with his hands will reward one thousand taels of silver, and two thousand taels of silver will be captured alive. After entering the city, the merit will be celebrated for three days, and the wine and meat will be enough."
"Those who retreat will kill you!"
The generals also pulled out their waist knives at the right time and led hundreds of personal soldiers to attack the formation.
Hearing Wang Dehua's words, the originally timid Ming army was regained their energy, and then rushed to the wooden bridge to cross the river.
On the top of the city, Qin Chuan put down his telescope, looked at the increasingly nervous Guandi Army beside him, and said, "Brothers, if we were allowed to enter the city, none of us would survive. Loufan, who had finally gathered, would inevitably be razed to the ground."
"If we keep these hair-holdings outside the city, we will not only have Loufan, but also Jingle City. It won't take long to capture Lan County, and the entire hinterland of Luliang Mountain will be ours."
"Let's tell me, what should we do?"
"Kill the fuck."
The thin little bobcat rushed to say.
"Yes, kill the damn."
"Kill the fuck."
Other Guandi Army also started shouting.
Qin Chuan slowly pulled out his long knife and smiled, "Let's go out later, catch the two eunuchs back, strip them of their pants, and let the brothers see what the eunuchs look like in the crotch of their pants, okay?"
"good……"
The Guandi army around him cheered and laughed loudly, and his morale suddenly increased.
"The General in Red continued to fire the artillery, and the other artillery was ready. Once the enemy entered, they would amplify the França aircraft, and then 120 steps into the small França aircraft and the tiger squat gun. The musketeer was ready."
"yes."
The Guandi army guarding the south gate had a total of 800 people, a total of seven artillery pieces, including three tiger squat cannons, three small Francs, and the red-clothed general cannon that was placed in the north gate yesterday.
Qin Chuan was not a prophet of the uncertainty. He moved the cannon over when he saw the Ming army moving south.
The French Napoleon six-pound cannon was cast with copper and weighed more than 700 kilograms. Qin Chuan's red-clothed general cannon was made of iron and weighed only 650 kilograms. Moreover, this cannon was not fixed on the city wall like the red cannon, but was mounted on a cannon cart, dragging the cannon carts onto the city wall together, with the purpose of being able to move flexibly.
The range of the red-clothed general's cannon is only a little over two miles, and it will be greatly reduced if it exceeds one mile of accuracy. The distance between the two miles does not require consideration of accuracy. It depends entirely on the blind spot. Whoever hits it will be unlucky.
This erratic ballistic made Ming Jun even more frightened, because the first shot was clearly at the bridgehead, and the next shot was more than ten feet away from the bridgehead. No one knew where the next shot was to hit, so he was simply unpredictable.
But under Wang Dehua's temptation to reward silver and the intimidation of several generals' shaking waist swords, the Ming army not only did not cause chaos, but instead rushed across the river quickly and arranged the formation. Three thousand of them pushed dozens of various cannons and carried long siege ladders, and the sound of killing shocked the world and advanced forward.
Wang Dehua, Wang Kun and others led the remaining two thousand main forces to supervise the formation by the river.
After walking until three hundred steps, the Ming army's big Franc cannon stopped, set up the cannon, aimed at the city gate, and began to slam the city gate.
The 10-point five-foot Franz machine also stopped at a distance of 200 steps and began to fire at the top of the city to suppress the artillery fire at the top of the city.
The little Francis and the tiger squat cannon continued to advance with various large shields, wanting to enter a hundred steps before launching the cannon to attack.
But when they advanced to only one hundred and twenty steps away from the city wall, a sudden burst of cannons on the top of the city. Six tiger squat cannons and small Fran machine cannons all spewed out flames, and six cannons penetrated into the Ming army.
The Ming army was in a commotion, and the steps under their feet stopped for a moment. Under the scolding of the general, they continued to move forward with various shields.
Upon entering a hundred steps, more than thirty small Franchise aircraft and tiger squat cannons were also set up, and they fired cannons to kill and injure the rebels in the city.
The remaining more than two thousand Ming soldiers carried shields and carried dozens of ladders toward the city wall.
At this time, gunfire suddenly sounded loudly on the top of the city, and forty flintlock rifles in the south gate sounded one after another.
