934 Impressive

At the top of Anshan Post Fort, a rapid sound of gongs immediately sounded, and the sound of "clang ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding lingered in every corner of the city.

There were Jianlu jumping out everywhere in the barracks. Some of them were not well-dressed, and some came out barefoot before they even had time to wear shoes. Everyone had a look of panic on their faces and turned to look at the city wall over there.

Almost all Jianlu knew that the Ming army was coming to attack Anshan Yibao. This day would come sooner or later. But they really didn't want to, and they encountered it on that day. The Jianlu soldiers who were on the turn immediately rushed to the top of the city, some wanted to increase the strength of the city, while others carried defensive equipment and became a group of them.

The Jianlu guards also rushed to the top of the city. When they looked up to the south, they could already see the cavalry of the brigade coming here. After fighting for so long, the Jianlu could tell the ownership of the army from the banner. They were shocked to find that among the cavalry coming, the Ning army, the strongest new army in the Ming Dynasty, and even the Dongjiang army. The dust covering the sky and the sun shows how many of this army is.

"Hurry, hurry up, report to Liaoyang immediately. The Ming army is coming to attack in large numbers, with a number of people... about 50,000!" The Jianlu guard commanded his subordinates in a panic. He hesitated for a moment when estimating the number of Ming troops, and finally reported a number.

At this moment, the Ming cavalry had already arrived near and spread out in all directions, monitoring the movements on the Anshan Yibao City. Some cavalry even rushed to the moat near the moat and screamed and shot arrows at the city. Just like the Jianlu back then, he was unscrupulously humiliating the Guanning army hiding in the city outside the city. The cavalry of these Ming troops was quite amazing. Although they were wearing military uniforms that were no different from the Ming army, the Jianlu on the city knew that these people must have come from the grassland!

Behind the cavalry were a battalion, with side vans connected front and back, like a long snake, swimming towards Anshan Yibao. On the side van, there was no cover, and there were a large cannon. Those who had rich experience in fighting among the Jianlu immediately turned pale when they saw those cannons, and they exclaimed in a burst of voice: "Red cannons!"

The Red Cannon is the farthest-range and most powerful artillery they have ever seen. It was just that in the past, the Ming army used the Red Cannon to defend the city, but now, one ground cannon is transported to bombard the city that cannot move.

Originally, they were relieved because of the easy defense and difficult attack of Anshan Yibao and the solid defense system. But at this moment, when they saw so many red cannons transported over, they all felt unsure.

What was the most annoying thing about Jianlu at this time? It was definitely a firearm! It was a red cannon! In the past, they didn't care much about firearms, and even often laughed at them. They had no fear of the slugs of the Ming Dynasty. As long as they attacked them for a false attack, they could attract the shooting of the Ming army musketeers and then load them up. As long as the cavalry charges, they could beat their opponents to the point of falling.

But now, the Ming army used red barbarian cannons to attack the city. This domineering siege method has changed the form of war. To be able to deal with it effectively, only artillery against artillery. However, Jianlu did not have red barbarian cannons at all, and even the general cannons were pitifully few. Jianlu, who had experienced the Gaizhou war, measured the gap in the capabilities of the artillery between the two sides, and suddenly he had no sense of security at all.

Now, their city gates are blocked, and they don’t even have the chance to go out of the city to attack the Ming army’s artillery battalion, so they can only be beaten passively. Jianlu on the top of the city, all faced like earth, could only watch the Ming army’s vehicle camp approaching and getting closer. Then they calmly chose the artillery position and began to carry red barbarian cannons in an order to set up artillery positions.

At this time, almost all the Jianlu on the top of the city were attracted by the red cannons, and few people paid attention to the army that the Ming army was still driving over. Because they knew that the biggest threat to Anshan Yibao was these red cannons. But even if they knew this, they could do nothing.

"Damn, who has the brains to block the city gate!"

On the top of the city, Jianlu whispered similar words from time to time. For them, the bravery of the past remained in their bones. In this situation, instead of being passively beaten without any power to fight back, it is better to rush out of the city and fight with the Ming army in the field.

"Hurry, hurry up, report to Liaoyang that the Ming army brought at least a dozen red cannons. Anshan Post Fort is in danger!" The Jianlu guard panicked and hurriedly sent messengers to Liaoyang.

Outside the city, teams of Ming soldiers almost filled the Jianlu's vision. Of course, this was related to the fact that the open space in front of Anshan Post Fort was not wide. The Ming army behind could not come up, so they had to stop and camp on the spot. The number of Ming troops was really beyond the sight.

The Ming army gunners at Anshan Yibao were not even resting, and were busy with artillery positions. The red cannons from each door were lined up, and the dark muzzles were facing the city. The Jianlu guards on the south were all terrified. The Jianlu guards also realized something and quickly ordered that only a small number of people were left on the city, and other troops were hiding behind the city wall.

In the place where the Anshan Post Fort was a single arrow, the Ming soldiers who had prepared had already started digging the soil with hoes and other tools calmly, obviously preparing to fill the moat. Behind these Ming troops were teams of infantry resting, with various simple ladders placed next to them, and large equipment such as ladder trucks were assembled.

All of this indicates that the Ming army will not rest and will attack the city in one go.

The Ming army's commander flag was behind the artillery battalion, and groups of Ming soldiers surrounded their generals and pointed at the top of the city. Judging from the banner, there was indeed Cao Bianjiao from the new army, Cao Wenzhao from the Guanning army, and the tall and extremely eye-catching governor of the Ming Kingdom.

Among them, Cao Bianjiao even drove his horse to the front, pointed at the city and the moat, and then returned to say something. The Guanning military officer Cao Wenzhao, whom Jianlu knew, also drove his horse to check nearby, and then returned to talk to the governor Denglai. Among them, he did not take the Jianlu on the city seriously at all, or ignored the Jianlu on the city.

Not long after, the artillery positions were set up, and Jianlu, who was left on the city, watched the Ming army over there loading the Red Armored Cannons. Even the laymen could see at a glance that the Ming army artillery was very skillful, and they were even using tools to readjust the height of the Red Armored Cannons. It looked very powerful at first glance.
