Luo Daniu set a hundred Guandi troops at the east gate, west gate and north gate of Kelan City, and all the remaining troops were put into the attack on the south gate.

The way of siege is very single, long-range suppression, suppressing the defenders until they can't raise their heads, and then siege towers and cloud ladders climb the city.

When the cannon reaches a distance of one mile, the cannons will be fired, while other siege equipment and small cannons will continue to advance.

When they advanced to two hundred and fifty steps, the Guandi Army encountered some trouble: a "bang bang" sound suddenly sounded in the city, and then a brick flew out, about twenty in number, square, just the size of a fist, and fell into the Guandi Army formation.

The speed of these bricks is not fast, and the flight trajectory can be seen with the naked eye. However, due to the sudden incident, four Guandi troops who had no time to dodge were still hit.

Fortunately, these bricks bounced not far from the ground and did not hurt the people behind.

Some of the other bricks fell on the open space, and some hit the shield cart, making loud noises, and the broken bricks splashed everywhere. Several lucky Guandi Army were unfortunately injured by the splash.

However, these bricks did not cause much damage to the heavy shield cars at all.

Luo Daniu, who was holding the formation behind, shouted hurriedly: "This is the Ming army's catapult car. Pay attention to avoid it. When you hear the sound, you hide in the shield car."

Not long after, another sound suddenly sounded in the city, and then another brick flew out.

This time, as soon as the sound started, all the exposed Guandi army immediately hid in the shield cart.

Most of the bricks fell to nothing, and a small part of them hit the baffle in the front of the shield cart or the siege tower.

As soon as the brick rain passed, the Guandi Army ran out under the command of the officers and continued to pull the shield cart forward.

There are twenty catapult cars in the city, which were built in the past ten days. In order to pursue the range, they did not hit stones with large weights and large sizes, but hit half a brick, which could hit a range of nearly 300 steps.

It's a little less powerful, poorly accurate, and easy to avoid.

Xue Dongting originally wanted to put these catapults on the city wall, but after seeing the other party's guns that were far and accurate, he gave up the idea and instead placed them on several streets behind the city wall, and raised the shooting angle.

In this way, the catapult car that could have struck three hundred steps became only 250 steps, and the depoter had to observe and direct the projection on the top of the city.

This is a helpless move. If it were placed on the top of the city, it would have been bombarded by the other party's artillery long ago.

Now, the catapult car is safe, but Xue Dongting found that those bricks could not smash the other party's shield car at all.

All the opponent's soldiers hid behind shield cars or siege towers, causing no casualties at all.

The only role of these catapults is suppressed.

The Guandi Army continued to advance slowly and suddenly stopped when it was approaching two hundred steps. Twenty sharpshooters, carrying rifled guns, climbed up five siege towers, raised their guns, and aimed at the officers, gunners and detainers on the top of the city.

On the top of the city, Xue Dongting frowned in confusion.

Why did you stop?

Do you want to use a bird gun to hit the city wall?

Can you fight at such a long distance?

While he was wondering, a burst of smoke came from the siege towers two hundred steps away. When the gunshots came, Xue Dongting suddenly shook violently and fell backwards. A sharp pain and numbness suddenly came from his ribs, causing him to faint.

"grown ups……"

The few personal soldiers next to them were panicked and hurried over to help.

I saw a hole in Xue Dongting’s ribs on his body, and there was blood inside, which was obviously hit by a gun.

Several personal soldiers were even more panicked and rushed to help him remove the armor and lift the cotton armor that was worn inside.

I saw a wound between his two ribs, with a gray lead bullet in it. The bullet head had been flattened, but the bullet tail was not round, but had a hole, and the shape was very strange.

Seeing the lead bullet, several personal soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, then hurriedly lifted Xue Dongting up and ran down the city tower.

The lead bullet did not penetrate the heart, and Lord Xue was just injured. As long as it was dug out in time, there should be no major problem.

The defenders on the city wall were so scared that their faces turned pale. The wave of bullets just now, obviously came from two hundred steps away, but they immediately dropped twelve people, including gunners and several officers commanding the city.

Those guns not only hit far, but also hit tremendously accurately.

What is even more frightening is that it can actually break the double-layer armor.

Lord Xue had a pair of iron armor outside, and there was a pair of cotton armor inside, all of which were pierced through.

Those who do not have double armor will be defeated with one shot. If you are lucky, you will not be concentrated in the vital points, and you will still be able to save your life. If you are unlucky, you will be directly penetrated by the vital points and die.

"Fire the cannon, fire the cannon quickly, don't let those siege towers get close to."

On the city wall, Shi Dekai lowered his body and shouted loudly at a group of artillery soldiers.

The artillery soldiers then ignited the gunpowder of the five Fran machine cannons.

Amid the rumbling sound of cannons, five shells roared away, some smashed straight into the Guandi army formation, and some hit the shield cart or the baffle of the siege tower, thumping and wood chips flying everywhere.

The barrels of these five cannons are only three feet and five inches long, and the caliber is less than five feet. They can barely hit a distance of two hundred steps, but the power of the shells is limited. It will not destroy any of the shield cars and siege towers.

At this time, gunfire sounded again from several siege towers, and most of the dozen gunners who were still firing their guns fell down.

Those who were not shot quickly lay on the ground, trembling and did not dare to show up.

Shi Dekai kept his body lowered, so he escaped.

However, those gunners were seriously injured, and the five Fran cannons were basically destroyed.

The Guandi army continued to carry shield chariots and continued to advance in the brick rain that fell from the sky from time to time. The twenty rifled rifles were also constantly harvesting the gunners of the defenders.

When they arrived a hundred steps, a few cannons sounded at the top of the city, which was simply irrelevant to the Guandi Army.

Not long after, the Guandi army approached the city and laid the ladder above the moat, laying wooden boards on it, allowing others to rush across the moat and set up the ladder.

Many defenders had already taken advantage of the chaos to run away. There were less than 500 defenders still on the city wall, basically all of them were the personal soldiers of Xue Dongting and Shi Dekai, as well as several gentry guards in the courtyard.

Fearing from the power of the twenty rifled rifles of the Guandi Army, these people did not dare to show their heads and hid behind the incomplete female wall, blindly threw stones out.

At the same time, the west gate of Kelan City was suddenly pushed open and the suspension bridge was suddenly slowly lowered.

"My generals, we are willing to follow Lord Qin and let the Lord Qin be in front of him and the horses and horses be in the back of his life, and then we die."

On the top of the city, a group of defenders bowed and shouted at the hundreds of Guandi troops outside the city.

The Guandi army outside the city was very excited and hurriedly sent people to the south gate to report to Luo Daniu and Liu Youzhu, and sent two cavalry into the city to investigate to prevent fraud.

The two riders who entered the city looked around for a while, then made a gesture outside the city.

The level 100 outside the city immediately came to the horse, roared into the city, and took over the defense in the west of the city.

When the Guandi army began to climb the south wall, Luo Daniu and Liu Youzhu received news of surrender at the north gate.

After a few discussions, Liu Youzhu led a thousand troops into the city from the west gate, occupied the east and north, and attacked the defenders at the south gate from behind.

Luo Daniu continued to attack the South Gate, restraining the defenders in the city, and buying time for Liu Youzhu.
