Suddenly, a thunderous sound of cannons came from a distance.

The Qing army was preparing to attack the city, and the banner officials were stunned.

Now that the city has not yet attacked, why did this cannon fire again?

Before the Qing army could react, the Qing army generals could only feel a shock under their feet. Then the neighing sounds of war horses and the wailing sounds of officers and soldiers came one after another.

"What's going on!" Wu Qijue felt something was wrong and looked down at the city.

I saw bursts of black smoke coming from the Qing army's artillery position.

I saw a bronze cannon with a twisted body standing there alone, the wheels were blown away and broken into pieces, and the artillery was no longer visible.

"Bang bang bang..." Suddenly, dust flew on the Qing army's positions.

Several other black iron balls hit the Qing army artillery team.

By chance, a shell accurately hit a copper artillery truck weighing more than 2,000 kilograms. Several Qing army artillery soldiers next to the artillery truck flew out straight away, and the body fragments finally fell slowly like fallen leaves.

The wooden cannon truck was smashed to pieces, and the copper cannon of more than 2,000 kilograms tilted directly to the right five or six meters under the huge impact force.

Now, the Qing army artillery team finally reacted.

He quickly pulled the horse and started to check in on the cannon, wanting to rush back.

But the mules and horses were already scared by the sound of cannons at this time. Some horses broke free from the reins and fled in scattered, while more were still alive.

"General, the thieves are so treacherous. They actually arranged artillery on the hill near Changhua City." Wang Rui moved forward in horror and pointed to a hill not far from Changhua City.

"Impossible, how did they pull the heavy artillery to the top of the mountain?" Wu Qijue realized that the situation was serious after seeing the white smoke rising from the distant hillside.

He thought that at best, the pirates had deployed several small cannons on the city wall, and his artillery was arranged far enough more than a mile away from the city.

Who would have thought that the thief army actually arranged heavy artillery on the hill not far from the city.

"General, the last general personally led 500 people from the Right Camp to the mountain to capture the artillery of the thief army." Wang Rui asked for battle.

"Okay!" Wu Qijue nodded. Instead of letting Wang Rui's right camp be used as a preparation, it would be better to divide the troops into two groups and personally lead the main army to attack the county town, and let Wang Rui's right camp occupy the mountain and seize the heavy artillery of the Ming army.

He saw it just now, and the mountain was more than one mile away from his artillery team.

A round of cannons fired down, and even scrapped two of his own cannons.

Not to mention other places, the cannons on the mountain alone made him very afraid.

At the same time, a look of greed appeared on his face. How great would it be if such a cannon team fell into his hands.

"Siege the city now!"

Wu Qijue drew out his long sword and shouted loudly at Changhua County.

With the neighing of the war horses and the drums of war, thousands of Qing soldiers under the city began to march towards Changhua County.

"General, about four or five hundred people on the right wing of the Qing army went to our artillery position." A guerrilla deputy general on the top of the city shouted to Wang An.

"It's okay!" Wang An waved his hand.

"Just, let's see the power of the brave soldiers whom the Governor relied most."

The Qing army officers and soldiers pushed siege cars one by one and began to march under the city.

These siege cars are not much better than those of Zhenla.

After the Qing army entered the range of two or three hundred steps, the Ming army's Folang machine cannon began to gather fire to attack the three siege cars.

However, in just over twenty breaths, three siege cars were scrapped by Ming army artillery.

When the Qing generals saw that the siege cart was scrapped by Ming army artillery, they didn't care about anything else. They gritted their teeth and gritted their teeth to command the Green Camp soldiers to rush towards the city.

After the Qing army officers and soldiers entered a range of one or two hundred steps.

The four mortars on the wall also began to show their power.

Flowering bullets were smashed on the head of the Qing army as if they were not worth money.

The Qing army officers and soldiers who exploded were overwhelmed by people.

However, the number of Qing soldiers siege was too large, and the only four mortars that could use flowering bullets could not stop so many enemy troops.

The six-pound Flang machine cannon attacked the horses and siege vehicles behind the Qing army.

The mortar cannon and the Xiaofolang machine cannon were also involved in the battle against the Qing army.

But obviously, the number of Qing troops had exceeded the expected and coping limits of Ming army gunners.

Compared to the Zhenla soldiers who were in the city of Dongpu, there was no order.

These Qing soldiers also knew how to disperse, with three or five people in groups, holding steel knives, shields to block the arrows on their heads, and muskets.

The Ming army's artillery was unable to cause effective damage to the Qing army under the city at the first time.

"The Qing army has arrived at the city." Suddenly, a banner official shouted loudly.

"Bronze skin fire thunder preparation." With the order of another flag officer.

On the city, dozens of Ming soldiers began to untie the copper-skinned fire thunder on their waists and began to light the fuse.

When the fuse was only 1/3, the copper-skinned fire thunders were thrown away by the Ming army.

Down the city tower, the Qing army officers and soldiers were cheering that they had already reached the city tower, but they suddenly saw things like medicine pestles thrown out from the city wall, and white smoke was still emitting.

This strange thing really made the Qing army officers and soldiers puzzled.

But soon, with the sound of explosions, black smoke filled the entire corner of the city.

"Ah!" A Qing army soldier screamed, and the black smoke and the explosion of flames burned their skin and whips.

Many Qing troops were shattered and bloody.

The Ming army's copper skin fire thunder wrapped a thin layer of copper skin, which was also carved into scales by the Ming army. Under the explosion of gunpowder, the copper skin scattered like scales, causing great casualties to the Qing army officers and soldiers several meters around.

Most of the Qing army officers and soldiers were not killed. After all, the number of black gunpowder loadings of fire thunder was limited, but the fragment pierced into the Qing army's chest, arms, and face.

Just as the Qing army officers and soldiers were wailing, the muskets, bows and arrows on the city walls also shot lead bullets and arrows.

After a while, dozens of Qing soldiers rushed up to silence.

"30 to 50 steps ahead, about hundreds of Qing troops, fire and thunder, throw them." With the order of the flag officer, dozens of officers and soldiers threw the fire and thunder in their hands into the distance.

After this period of practical application, the Ming army discovered that the use of copper-skinned fire thunder in the city defense was better than that in the field.

During the plains during land battles, Ming soldiers could only throw fire and thunder for more than twenty steps at most.

But when defending the city and being condescending, the copper-skinned fire thunder can often be thrown forty or fifty steps.

This undoubtedly greatly enhanced the firepower of the Ming army defending the city.

"Bang bang bang bang bang." There were explosions coming from under the city wall.

Flashes of white mist filled the battlefield with the soil.

For a moment, he actually stopped the Qing army's offensive.

Wu Qijue, who was supervising the battle, couldn't help but glared at him when he saw this look.

"This thief's firearm is indeed strange." Even a veteran like him has never seen such a firearm.

"Why is the artillery team not ready yet?" Seeing that the artillery team behind had not been moving for a long time, Wu Qijue said angrily.

"General, the heavy artillery fire of the thieves on the hill is too strong. Our artillery team has changed three directions, but they are still pressed and hit. Our artillery team has suffered more than ten casualties." A Qing army gunner shouted weakly.
