Before the war, Xiao Ruxun had mobilized all the doctors in the city to prepare a large amount of medicinal materials and bandages. At this time, the mortality rate of wounded soldiers was very high. Even a large number of soldiers died of suppuration or excessive bleeding after the war. They were not directly killed in battle. Once these precious veterans recovered and returned to the battlefield, their combat effectiveness was far greater than that of one new recruit. Therefore, Xiao Ruxun attached great importance to the treatment of wounded soldiers, and even arranged shield soldiers to protect and transport wounded soldiers to the city for treatment. He also prepared a large amount of spirits for disinfection to ensure that the wounded soldiers did not die.

Chen Xie pulled out his battle sword and shouted: "Boardman ready!!"

Rows of crossbowmen stepped forward together.

"Bring an arrow! Raise a crossbow! Aim!"

"Shield soldiers withdrew their shields!!"

He asked him to cooperate with him and ordered the shield soldiers to remove the shield from the battlements and squat down.

"Shoot the arrow!!"

Wang Hui also shouted at the right time: "Light! Let it go!"

The cannons roared and the arrows were shuttled. The death strike from the city brought a catastrophe to the rebel soldiers rushing towards Pinglu City under the city. Although some rebel officers ordered the shield soldiers to raise their shields, the effect was very little. The power of the cannon was not something that the shield could withstand.

They had no choice but to fight back.

"Risk a shield!!"

Unfortunately, most of their counterattacks were blocked by shields. The well-trained shield soldiers knew very well how to resist the bow and arrows. The rebels seemed to lack training in this regard. The only few remaining artillery guns were not operated well. There were still several shells hitting their own positions, causing a bloody storm. The angry Yun immediately waved his knife and slashed.

The roar of the Franchise was a nightmare that the rebels could not resist. As the rebel charge intensified, Wang Hui ordered the remaining five idle Franchise to be transferred to the city wall to join the roar.

The number of casualties of the Ming army on the city is also increasing, but most of them are injured by stray arrows, and only a few are unlucky and are shot to the vital point.

At this time, the rebels finally rushed to the city. A group of rebels were carrying a bump into the city gate, and a large number of rebels were carrying a ladder to climb the city to fight.

"Top the stone!!"

Zhao Hu ordered the soldiers to use stones to the rebels who started to hit the city gate and climb the city. A group of strong soldiers held large stones and smashed them down, which made the rebels bloody. Soon, the team of people who hit the city gate were wiped out, five ladders were pushed down, and the first attempt of the rebels to climb the city failed. Wang Hui immediately ordered the soldiers to lower their guns and shoot at the bottom. Suddenly, a burst of artillery fire exploded under the city. Hundreds of rebels under the city were attacked with heavy casualties, and there was also a rain of arrows falling down. The rebels who rushed to the front were basically dead.

The first rebel Thousand-man team had basically been completely lost. The only two or three hundred people left were dead at the threat of artillery fire. He Yun roared and kicked a personal soldier away, roaring and asking King Qian to withdraw his troops. Wang Jin lowered his head and ran back in shame. Before he could even avenge his crime, He Yun beheaded him with a black face and a sword. The blood of the headless corpse spilled all over the ground like a blowout before falling down and twitching, shocking the other officers.

"The siege is not good, it will damage my hundreds of troops! Kill! Next one, you! Sun Xiao!"

Sun Xiao, who was named, suddenly felt as if he was a pale face. After a while, he walked forward in pain and led the next team of thousands of people. Under the cover of artillery fire and the crossbowmen of the formation, he rushed forward with a large shield. Although he did not avoid the attack of artillery fire, the lethality of the arrow rain was reduced, which was much less than the previous loss. He rushed to the bottom of the city wall. What greeted them were the rolling wooden stones that were smashed like raindrops and the exploded shells. One more piece of them died. He barely raised the ladder. After climbing a few steps, the Ming army used a wooden stick to lift the ladder and fell straight down and died.

Seeing that he was about to be defeated again, Sun Xiao knew that he would retreat and die, and it would be better to die on the battlefield than to die in battle.

He held a knife in his mouth and climbed up along the ladder, avoiding the rain of arrows while moving up. The three soldiers in front fell down one after another, were shot to death by arrows or stones. He was very lucky and rushed directly to the top of the city. As soon as he came out, he saw a black tube facing his head. He also saw a wisp of white smoke slowly rising, and then...

With a bang.

The back half of Sun Xiao's head was broken like a watermelon, and only the corpse with a broken head fell from the city. He walked his own life in a hurry and became the second rebel officer who died since the war for Pinglu City began.

The bird gun team has already reached the city. In response to the rebels' rush to the city for projects that are inconvenient to fire the artillery, and the rolling wood and stones are likely to expose the soldiers' losses, Xiao Ruxun decisively ordered the transfer of 100 gunmen and 50 auxiliary soldiers to climb to the city to fight, specifically to deal with the soldiers who ran to the city. The shield soldiers are protected by shields, and they only need to shoot with confidence.

Gunshots rang out at the top of the city, and clouds filled the city, and the clouds in the distance frowned.

"What is that?! I almost climbed the city wall and was kicked off again! What kind of firearm is that?! Why is there such a large amount of smoke?"

Qi Yun didn't like firearms very much and believed in the steel knife in his hand and the war horse under his crotch, so he didn't study the firearms much. At this time, Qi Yong, who woke up from a coma, finally returned to his position and showed his true nature as a dog-legged person, pointing out that this is the legendary bird gun!

"Bird gun? Is it the broken tube that kills birds? Is it that powerful?"

Wen Yun said disdainfully.

Wei Yong didn't know how to describe it, because he didn't know much about firearms. However, compared with the rebels of the Wei family, he knew a little more, so he could at least give some more professional opinions: "General, although the bird gun is useless, it is indeed very powerful. If used well, it can kill a person with one shot."

Qi Yun frowned and looked at the smoke that kept exploding on the city wall, and asked, "Do we have one?"

Wei Yongwei said: "Something is there, but..."

"But what?" Qi Yun glared at him, and Qi Yong had to say the truth: "But we don't know how to use it, we're all in the warehouse, and no one cares about it."

"Baoshi! What's the point of asking for you?" Qi Yun glared and slapped him on Qi Yong's face, knocking Qi Yong to the ground, looking at the dilemma of siege in an upset.

The firepower of the Franchise gun was suppressed by the long-range fire, and the short-range was restricted by the bird gun. The rising number of deaths directly led to the increasing irritability index of the war.

"General! I really didn't expect that a little processing of the fuse and some gunpowder packs could increase the rate of fire so much. Now the rebel corpses killed by the Bird Gun Team were piled up all over the city, and they had to touch about two or three hundred! This, the rate of fire was also increased too quickly!"

Wang Hui looked at the trained bird gunners constantly firing with guns. The auxiliary soldiers behind them quickly loaded the bird guns into ammunition, and then handed them to the bird gunners. Under the protection of the shield soldiers, the bird gunners easily aimed at the rebels under the city and shot them down, and then squatted down to load the ammunition, with quick movements and extremely efficient. The only thing that was the only disadvantage was that the wind was not strong today, so the city was always filled with a faint fireworks and an unpleasant smell of urine...

"The power of firearms needs to be maximized under specific circumstances. However, after this battle, people will further improve the problem of firearms being afraid of water, and strive to get a batch of firearms that are not afraid of water and have faster shooting speeds, so as to improve the bird guns. After all, in the words of merchants, this bird gun team will definitely make a profit without losing money! Hahahaha!"

Seeing that the battle situation was dominant, Xiao Ruxun was in a slightly better mood and continued to instruct: "Please protect the bird gunners. The attacks of the bird guns and Francs should not be stopped. Be careful not to let the enemy climb the city. Tell the other three gates and do not be stingy with gunpowder and artillery shells. Once the enemy troops in the other three gates launch an attack, they must fight back resolutely. The bird gun team has few people and should focus on guarding the West City. They should not divide their troops to garrison, so they should pay more attention."

Wang Hui nodded: "No!"
Chapter completed!
