Chapter 267: Annihilation of the Tartars

However, Hui Hui cannons are not invincible. The biggest disadvantage of Hui Hui cannon is that they are cold weapons. The preparation process for each launch is relatively long, far less than that of Zhang Yang's Tianque gun and scattered cannons.

However, this time the Tianque gun could not play all its advantages because it exceeded the abilities of most shooters.

"Bang, bang." Countless Tianque guns were shooting, but only the gunners and crossbowmen on the Tartar positions caused very small casualties.

"Wow!" The rain of bullets from the scattered fireworks also poured down. For the first time, neither side hit the target. Only two shots of the scattered fireworks fell on the Tartars' positions, destroying a Huihuan.

The Tartars seemed to have become used to it and were not affected at all. They were orderly training the Huihui cannons, and the second shot was ready again.

Suddenly, several shells flew from the sky and landed on the Tartars' positions.

"Okay, it's a good thing!" Looking at the flight trajectory of the shells, Zhang Yang knew that this was the God of War Cannon deployed at the East City Gate. The solid shell of the God of War Cannon hit the opponent's position, and suddenly a piece of dust was raised, and the ground was trembling constantly, which showed the power of the God of War Cannon.

If there is a trigger device and the shell is made into a warhead that can explode, the lethality will definitely be even more amazing, Zhang Yang thought to himself.

After the bomb rain, the Tartars' Huihuan and bed crossbow began to shoot again.

"Dong, dongdong," the stone hit the city wall, and the city wall began to shake, and all the Huihuans were firing towards that place, and they must have wanted to make a breakthrough in that place and collapse the city.

The shells of the God of War Cannon flew over and shook the position of the Huihui Cannon a few times, causing the opponent's Huihui Cannon to move. This time, many stone bullets still failed to hit.

However, the crossbow was not affected. Soon, the city wall was shot densely, and countless artificial ladders had already begun to appear on the city wall.

"Quick, shoot!" Zhang Yang never felt his heart beating so hard. He personally picked up a Tianque gun and shot towards the position of the Huihui cannon. Only by destroying the gunners can the safety of Gaoyou Mansion be kept safe.

"Run!" In the Tartars' array, they saw that the city wall was already shaking under the blow of Huihui cannons, and they couldn't help but feel happy. The dense arrows shot into the city wall. The ladder formed by the arrow shaft made them wipe out the bad luck of the previous few days. They were very energetic and rushed towards the city.

"Turn the gun and shoot the rushing Tartars!" Zhang Yang continued: "Send a signal and ask Bian Yuanheng's navy to come and support!"

There were only dozens of scattered fireworks on the top of the city. The Hui artillery and crossbow positions that attacked the Tartars were a little overwhelmed, not to mention the Tartars who were rushing to face now. Only by quickly supporting the artillery of Bian Yuanheng's naval army can the situation be reversed, and I hope the city wall can last for a while.

Suddenly, with a "crash!", the wall hit by repeated stone bullets suddenly fell a corner, and the rest of the parts might not last long.

"Sir, the power of Huihui cannon is indeed huge!" In the camp of the Central Tartar Army, the generals looked at the city wall, their hearts filled with joy.

If I had known this, I would have brought Huihui Cannon to the scene when I was sieging the city. Why did so many soldiers die? All the generals felt regretful in their hearts.

Yu Que nodded. Although the Huihui cannon was powerful, he didn't want to carry it at first, because the Huihui cannon also has its own shortcomings. It is too heavy and inconvenient to move. Moreover, it is easy to be destroyed by the other party. Nothing is omnipotent. The key is to see how to use it.

Suddenly, a cavalry rushed out of the southeast direction.

"Bang, bang bang," the cavalry, like a red-burned soldering iron, rushed into the cheese, and quickly rushed towards the return cannon position. They were probably the most elite cavalry. While riding a horse, they could actually set fire to the muskets with one hand. They rushed forward desperately. The generals in the lead were majestic, and it was Tang He.

Tang He had been hiding outside the battlefield for a long time and had been watching the situation on the battlefield. Their 200 cavalry team, with tens of thousands of Tartar troops, could not cause any storm. Besides, Tang He was very confident in the defenders, and with those firearms, it was enough for the Tartars to be unable to eat and take care of them.

However, unexpectedly, these new things brought by the Tartars could be fired against the Tianque guns and scattered cannons on the battlefield, and they were not at a disadvantage. Suddenly, the situation on the battlefield was conducive to the development of the Tartars.

Tang He couldn't help but finally decided to destroy the damn things that could throw stones, and not let those stones destroy the city walls of Gaoyou Mansion.

In this era, the city walls have important uses. If the city walls are lost, then Gaoyou Mansion will definitely be destroyed and fallen.

"Hurry up, send troops to stop them!" Yu Que quickly ordered. Although there were two teams of 100 people guarding the position, he was still worried.

"Brother, there is a change over there, it's Tang He!" Shi Wenbing discovered a team of cavalry in the distance, and quickly leaned towards the opponent's position, trying to destroy the damn things. The general in charge was Tang He, who was stationed in Taizhou.

Why did Tang He come here? This is not the first issue that Zhang Yang needs to consider. He is also paying attention to the other party’s Huihui cannons. As long as those Huihui cannons are destroyed, the Tartars will have no show to sing.

Now, the scattered fireworks have been divided into part to deal with the Tartar soldiers. Once they are brought to the range of the bow and arrow, it is definitely a disaster for the soldiers guarding the city. However, if the Tartars' Huihuan is not destroyed, the biggest threat cannot be eliminated. Although the God of War cannon is also bombarded, the effect of the solid bullet is limited. If it hits the ground, it will not have much lethality and only affect the opponent's aim. At this moment, the largest support force, Bian Yuanheng's steamboat, cannot arrive immediately. In order to confuse the Tartars, the fleet is hidden in Gaoyou Lake.

If Tang He was able to destroy the Huihui cannon, Zhang Yang would have absolute confidence to kill all the Tartars in front of him. It would be very easy to aim at the Tartars on such a bright afternoon.

The Tartars were stimulated by stone bombs and fought very bravely. Although the firepower at the top of the city was very strong, they were also rushing forward constantly and getting closer to the top of the city.

"The first team, then shoot, the second team, prepare for grenades." In the running cavalry team, Tang He's shouts rang throughout the team.

Hearing the order, the cavalry of the second team put away the Tianque gun, carried it on their backs, and took out the fire broker from their chests.

Weapons are the lives of the soldiers. Grenades that can only explode by ignition are too backward!

While running, the soldiers slowed down their horses and gradually got closer to the target.

During the shooting process, all the sentries in this direction had been killed. The other protective forces were still coming quickly and were sniped by the first team and the second team needed to throw grenades into the Huihui cannon.

"Swoosh, swosh." Some arrows flew from somewhere, and the cavalrymen rushed to the front and dropped their horses. The soldiers behind could not hold back and stepped over them.

"*** Tartars!" The soldiers were angry. The horses were running very slowly. They took out the grenades from behind. Before the impact, the grenades were ready and the leads had been pulled out. They lit the leads and then slapped the horse forward. Then the horse's speed completed the action of dropping the bombs on the horse.

"Dog Tartars, taste the taste of grenades!"

The gunners of Huihui cannons and the crossbowmen of the bed were not affected by them. They were just like tireless single-cell creatures, winding, preparing for bullets, and shooting. They did not notice that there were already more smoke around them.

Another round of stone bombs flew into the sky.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Amid countless explosions, many Hui cannons were shattered.

The explosion shocked the gunner and crossbowmen. They came to their senses from the shooting just now, looked at the broken arms and legs around them, and fear surged into their hearts. There were also sporadic casualties just now, but compared with now, it was simply devastating. The explosion just now caused at least half of the casualties.

Run away, the Hui Hui cannon is broken anyway, so you can't fire the shells anymore. Are you leaving it for death?

Another round of grenades was thrown over, and they ran backwards at the same time.

"Boom, boom!" Amid the explosion of the grenades, the position was already in a mess.

"Roar back!" Seeing that several cavalry were running towards him, she was afraid that she would be surrounded, Tang He issued an order to retreat to the entire team.

No matter how powerful your team is, it cannot resist the enemy that is several times more than yours. Since your combat purpose has been achieved, it is not embarrassing to be chased by the Tartars to escape.

Although the Huihui cannon was destroyed, the stone bullets were still shot out, and dozens of stone bullets flew towards the already shaking city.

"Crash!" The city head finally couldn't withstand the impact. After the last straw that crushed the camel came down, the city wall here fell down weakly, and the city wall opened a hole of more than ten feet long.

"Roll, go!" The Tartars were extremely excited. The city walls had collapsed. Then it would be easy to attack Gaoyou Mansion. First of all, those who enter the city will have a bounty of food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

Yu Que was also very happy. Although the Hui Hui cannon position was destroyed, the Hui Hui cannon finally played its due role and killed the city wall.

"The action of ordering the East Gate will begin immediately." Yu Que said.

Suddenly, the thick smoke on the lake in the west attracted their attention. What was that? Yuque and other generals looked at the west together.

Zhang Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and the fleet finally arrived. If it were one step later, these crazy Tartars would definitely rush in.

"Each cannon fired three times, the target is: the siege of the Tartars." Bian Yuanheng directed on the flagship.

"Boom, boom!" Hundreds of scattered firecrackers on several steam engines opened fire together. A dense rain of bullets hit the unprepared Tartars.

During this period, Bian Yuanheng had been urging Li Youcai and others at the base to finally transform several captured large ships into steam engines, enriching Bian Yuanheng's rapid maneuverability. Now it is a east wind. If it is a sailing ship, it is impossible to arrive in such a short time.

Wherever the bomb rain went, there was a sea of ​​blood immediately. There were thousands of Tartars falling to the ground in one volley!

Looking at the Tartars under the city wall, Zhang Yang smiled. When Bian Yuanheng's fleet arrived, the fate of these Tartars was already destined.

When Yu Que heard the loud noise of cannons coming from the lake, he was immediately shocked. Seeing his men and horses being ruthlessly shot and sank to the ground, Yu Que's heart was cold.

Artillery, known as the God of Death on the battlefield, is not an exaggeration at all. The lethality of artillery is a hundred times stronger than that of muskets, especially for such scattered soldiers who charge, it is simply devastating.

The charging Tartars were also afraid of being beaten. Although the collapsed city wall was very close, their lives were more important. They just plucked up the courage to rush forward just now because they saw hope. Now, this hope is zero.

They retreated.

Bian Yuanheng had long expected this, and turned his gun and bombarded the Tatars' backwards.

Behind were artillery and in front were muskets. The Tartars were forced to go crazy. Someone among them had raised their hands and prepared to surrender.

However, the defenders did not give them a chance to surrender. The last fire made them wary of the surrendered Tartars. Instead of placing them, it would be more at ease to bury them in the soil.

Yu Que was so distressed that tears were about to flow down his eyes. This was all the power of the province. He still had a slight fantasy. He didn't know if the East City Gate had attacked. As long as the east could enter, no matter how much the loss was, it was worth it. It attracted the attention of the defenders so that the insider in the east could move.

"Mr. Yu, Lord Yu, I also encountered an ambush on the east side. More than 10,000 people we were there have been wiped out." A scout came over and said loudly.

What? Yu Que couldn't believe his ears. He pulled the scout: "What did you say? What did you say? Say it to me again!"

In a rage, although Yu Que was a civil servant, he still pinched the scout tightly. The scout's eyes rolled and he was about to be strangled to death.

The others rushed over and dissuaded: "Sir, sir, the military situation is urgent, please make a decision quickly."

"Sir, stay with the green mountains, and don't worry about the lack of firewood. After we go back, we report to the court and ask the court to send people to deal with them."

"Sir, let's retreat quickly. If you don't retreat, the defenders in the city will rush out."

Yu Que's eyes were red, and he looked at the city wall in the distance. Suddenly, "Wow", he vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted.

"Sir, Sir..."

The battle at Dongcheng Gate was a trap. The Tartar leader who had led this mission thought it was a good man, but unexpectedly, he was reimbursed here.

When the siege at the north and south city gates were in fierce competition, the city at the east city gate was in panic. Seeing the troops running towards the north and south, the Tatars were secretly happy.

The sky was already a little dim, and finally, the East City Gate opened silently. Several people walked out sneakily inside and waved towards the hidden direction of the Tartars. It was exactly what He Zhaojie said before.

"General, those are mine." He Zhaojie said.

The Tatars were delighted and rushed forward without saying anything. They rushed into the city, which was victory.

The taxi guarding the city wall wanted this effect. The Tatars rushed forward in a honeycomb. After entering a distance of 200 steps, the scattered fireworks at the city wall had already aimed at the rear of the Tatars, *** the way out of the Tatars.

The Tartars who rushed in the front suddenly found that the city gate in front slowly closed.

There is a problem! I was fooled! The Tartars understood it, but it was too late. The Tartars in front stopped, while the Tartars behind were unclear, so they were still rushing forward.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Accompanied by the cannon fire at the top of the city, the Tianque guns were also mixed in and fired together, and the Tartars below immediately fell into a rain of destruction.

Backward? Behind is a rain of bullets, rushing forward? In front is also bullets with a breath of death. In the open space outside the East City Gate, the Tartars are already in a dilemma.
