"Don't be messed up, don't be messed up, the gunner fires me."

Several rebel generals from the left and right battalions shouted loudly on the city wall.

Although the Ming army's artillery bombardment was very powerful, it did not cause casualties between the officers and soldiers on the city walls.

After a while of panic, the rebels on the city wall quickly restored order under the supervision of the generals.

The gunners opened fire one after another, and an iron cannon was bombarded at the Ming army formation not far away.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Iron bombs and stone bombs fell to the flat ground, smashing one pit after another.

The rebels were actually not equipped with artillery. At that time, Yang Yandi, Chen Shangchuan and others brought 3,000 soldiers to the Guangnan Ruan Master.

Guangnan ordered him to burn the ship and go to the Dongpu area, and most of the artillery on the ship was abandoned.

The only artillery was also destroyed by years of conquest and loss.

The artillery owned by the rebels on the city wall was actually the batch of Flang machine cannons that Liu Yu gave to the Ming people in Jiading. There were also some falcon cannons and mortar cannons purchased from European merchants such as Guangnan or Spain, and the number was not very large.

The Folang machine cannon is a rear loading cannon. It has a fast firing speed and a high accurate head. It is also easy to carry and has both offense and defense.

There is also an obvious disadvantage, that is, the range is limited.

The Folang machine cannon is a post-loading cannon, which makes the mother gun cooperate with the son gun. Due to the limitations of the technical conditions at that time, the air tightness of the cannon is problematic and its chamber pressure is much smaller than that of other cannons.

This is why in the 15th and 6th century, when Europeans equipped the Flor cannons in large quantities, they quickly abandoned the rear-loading cannon and replaced it with the front-loading cannon.

For example, the famous red cannon is a naval gun product when the Englishman abandoned it and then loaded the cannon and changed it to a front-loaded cannon.

Iron and lead bullets fell to the flat ground one by one.

Although Liu Yu gave twenty cannons to the Jiading Ming people, they were all three-pound small Fran cannons with a range of only one or two hundred steps.

The other stone cannons and falcon cannons collected from all over the country were only four or five hundred steps away.

The Ming army seemed to have known the configuration of the rebel firepower on the city wall.

He deliberately set up a formation at a distance of more than 500 steps, and the shells fell one by one on the open plains.

Except for the occasional flying stones that splashed into several unlucky Ming soldiers, most of the Ming soldiers were safe and sound.

"General Yang, the rebels on the city wall have fired fire at our army. Now our army should fight back immediately." Zhao Zhen, general of the Zuo Town of the Navy, spoke.

"This?" Yang Yandi under the city was also in a dilemma.

The rebels on the left and right battalions on the city wall were also his soldiers.

The people in the city are the refugees he recruited in Annan over the years.

If you order to attack the city, you will inevitably suffer.

But if he did not order the attack on the city, then these Ming generals who followed him would definitely capture him and take him back to Haikou and let Xiao Wu deal with it.

"The general ordered the siege. The officers and soldiers of Liwu Town are willing to be the vanguard." Seeing Yang Yandi in a dilemma, Xue Wenjing volunteered to come out to fight.

Most of the hundreds of soldiers who were left in the city were killed by Huang Jin without mercy, which made him very angry. He almost implicated himself because of Huang Jin's rebellion. At this time, Xue Wenjing was already gritting his teeth at Huang Jin in the city, and naturally stood up and was willing to attack the city for the vanguard.

"Okay, General Xue, I will order you to lead 500 soldiers to attack the city." Zhao Zhen was naturally happy to see Xue Wenjing volunteering. It would be better for the Navy Town to allow Meidi's Ming people to flee.

In the Huben Artillery Camp in the rear, the gunners were loading gunpowder in full swing.

"General, our army is ready to attack the city!" A flag officer rode a horse to the artillery camp and said loudly.

"What? Our army really wants to attack the city?" Li Zhen, a guerrilla in the navy artillery battalion, looked towards the city wall in the distance.

"Order to remove the lead bullet and put the iron bullet on it." Li Zhen ordered.

Soon, the General Simen Zhennan's artillery was ready.

Compared with the Huben Town Army, the Navy Town gunners are better at sea combat. Naval warfare artillery pays attention to accuracy. After all, when the ship shakes under the waves, the artillery also shakes with the ship. The gunner must shake the hull and attack the enemy ship, so the artillery accuracy of the artillery must be paid attention to. Therefore, the Navy Town gunners' firefighting level, especially the long-distance artillery accuracy, is much better than the Army Town gunners.

The distance of more than one mile and a place is simple for these navy gunners.

"put!"

The fuse was lit, and when the fuse was burning, fire lights suddenly appeared.

"Bang! Bang! Bang." A dull sound like thunder spread throughout the army.

The rebels on the city heard the dull thunderous cannon sound before they could react, and they felt empty under their feet, and in an instant, it seemed as if the earth was shaking.

Four twelve-pound iron bullets hit the city wall accurately.

Although the city wall is thick, it is also built with arbitrary bricks, and it cannot stop the direct hit of the twelve-pound iron bullet.

The thick city wall collapsed directly into a corner under the impact of the iron bomb.

"Long live!" After seeing this, the Ming army officers and soldiers shouted.

In the artillery battalion in the rear, after seeing four heavy artillery fire, the remaining falcon cannons and the Saiko cannons also aimed at the city wall and opened fire.

"Liwu Town, kill!" Seeing that a corner of the city wall was knocked down by the Ming army, Xue Wenjing immediately drew his sword and shouted loudly when the Ming army's artillery stopped.

Five hundred Liwu Town officers and soldiers held licensed shields and swords and spears and rushed towards the city wall.

The rebel officers and soldiers on the city walls had already been shocked by the aftermath of the vibration caused by the artillery shells, and were in a mess, and the morale of the army had already been in chaos.

When the officers and soldiers of Liwu Town shouted and rushed up, they didn't think of resisting at this moment, and they fled in all directions.

Several rebel generals guarding the city tried to stop it, but the situation was over.

He had to take more than twenty loyal people to resist stubbornly.

Xue Wenjing took the lead, holding a long bow and shooting three arrows in a row, and shot three rebel archers who were falling into the city wall to the ground.

"kill."

The officers and soldiers of Liwu Town came into the city wall from the collapse of the city wall. Except for a few generals guarding the city and more than 20 of their subordinates who were still blocking it, the other rebel officers and soldiers either surrendered in sight or fled into the city.

"We just want to quell the rebellion, and all surrendered people will not be investigated." Xue Wenjing shouted.

"Kill!" The officers and soldiers of Liwu Town climbed the city wall one after another, and a large number of rebels from the left and right battalions turned against each other.

"General, retreat quickly, the city wall can't be defended." A dozen rebel soldiers hurriedly escorted several generals to retreat from the city wall.

"Quickly occupy the inner city, the left and right rebel camps in the outer city, hurry up." Xue Wenjing knew that this battle must be decided quickly.

Taking advantage of the rebels in the left and right camps retreating towards the inner city like a tide, the Ming army officers and soldiers rushed into the city.

Seeing the sound of killing in the city, Zhao Zhen, the general of the Zuo Town of the Navy, could not help but nod.

"Yes, I really deserve to be a general that Lord Xiao relies on. I should remember the first merit in this battle." Zhao Zhen looked at Yang Yandi who was silent on the side.

"General Yang, you don't need to be sad."
