PS: There is another chapter at noon

"Boom boom boom..."

The roar of field artillery broke the tranquility of the battlefield.

After the artillery captain proposed to use artillery to kill the artillery, Ye Qingyun immediately took this approach.

Because it is located on a plain, Tongzhou City has no dangers to rely on. At this time, Ye Qingyun is located in a rice field that has just been harvested. At first glance, his vision is very wide.

The soldiers were deployed only five hundred meters away from Tongzhou City, and Ye Qingyun ordered artillery bombardment.

More than 30 artillery fired volleys, and the shells hit the walls of Tongzhou City.

Ten artillery were deployed on the front wall of Tongzhou City. The original purpose of these artillery was to prevent the Japanese attacks along the coast, but now it has become the first line of defense for Tongzhou City to prepare for the Dengzhou Army.

However, what King Wei and other vassal kings would not have thought was that Xiao Ming had a hand in them at the beginning.

The Tongzhou soldiers who were originally planning to use artillery to attack the Dengzhou Army were shocked. The Dengzhou Army's artillery seemed to have eyes. Every time they fired the shells, they would fall next to the artillery. For a moment, the Tongzhou artillery suffered heavy casualties, and the artillery on the city wall was also smashed by the shells and deviated from their positions.

Moreover, the city walls of Tongzhou were far less thick than Pengzhou City in such a military city. The front wall was quickly broken, and the soldiers who defended Tongzhou City were in chaos for a while.

"Progress!" After solving the cannons on the city wall, Ye Qingyun ordered the soldiers to approach Tongzhou City.

The soldiers stopped at a distance of 200 meters outside the city. The artillery reloaded the bullets and bombarded violently at the front gate. The wooden gate could not withstand the attack of the twelve-pound cannon and soon fell down as a whole in the artillery fire.

At this time, Ye Qingyun led his soldiers to continue to approach the city wall. When he reached a ninety-meter position, he ordered the soldiers to shoot.

At the same time, Tongzhou soldiers also began to use bows and arrows to fight back. However, compared with more than 10,000 soldiers who used muskets, the Tongzhou archers on the top of the city were insignificant.

Under the fierce shooting, the Tongzhou soldiers on the Tongzhou city wall could not raise their heads at all, and at this time, a team of thousands rushed into Tongzhou.

The battlefield was filled with the roar of artillery and muskets. The soldiers of Tongzhou City had never seen such a war. The gates that had resisted the enemy before were vulnerable to the guns.

Outside the battlefield, the people watched all this numbly. When the Japanese pirates attacked the city, they looked at Tongzhou City like this, and now they are still looking at Tongzhou City like this.

For them, it has nothing to do with who will rule Tongzhou City, because in their eyes, Tongzhou City is the place where the powerful and powerful families live, and has nothing to do with them. In their hearts, they only have their own homes.

Ye Qingyun noticed this situation. Just outside the battlefield, the people watched the two sides fighting like they were watching a show. None of the people raised their arms and came to help Tongzhou City guard the city.

He suddenly felt a sense of sorrow. Qingzhou was not the same in the past, but now the people of Qingzhou are gradually awakening in the national consciousness that the newspapers deliberately promote.

The saying that every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world is no longer exclusive to the rich and gentry, and the people gradually understand the importance of this saying.

And what does the country have to do with me? Such words of destruction of the country have also been thrown into the dung pile and become depraved by everyone. Anyone who flatters this word has ulterior motives.

"charge!"

The people who were watching outside the city made Ye Qingyun suddenly realize the current situation in Tongzhou. If the officials and generals of Tongzhou were deeply loved by the people, how could these people be so indifferent?

I believe these people must have a hard life on weekdays and have long hated the officials and wealthy families in the city.

With such a folk custom, the combat effectiveness of the Tongzhou City army can be imagined. In addition, the generals fled several times in Tongzhou City after the Japanese pirates landed, Ye Qingyun's confidence increased greatly.

The charge resounded throughout Tongzhou City at this moment.

After the Thousand People Team entered the city, Ye Qingyun led other soldiers to rush into the city.

The Tongzhou Army, from generals and soldiers, were frightened by the Dengzhou Army's fearless appearance. The Dengzhou Army, wearing dark green gowns, was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. When they saw the Tongzhou Army soldiers coming to fight, the Dengzhou Army soldiers stood in a row of volleys, picked up bayonets, lined up in tight formations and rushed towards the enemy.

"For Qingzhou! For the bounty!" Ye Qingyun shouted a slogan.

This sentence stimulated the soldiers' bloodiness. For Qingzhou, it means loyalty, and for bounty, it is for a prosperous life. Before coming to Tongzhou, they had already heard about the Southern Expedition Army.

This time, the total amount of spoils collected by the southern expedition army in Pengzhou City was finally 3 million taels of silver, of which 300,000 taels of silver were taken out to reward the soldiers. Except for the slightly more generals, each soldier basically received twelve taels of silver.

But this battle is equivalent to two years of salary in the army.

At this time, whether for glory, loyalty or money, they will take over Tongzhou City.

"Kill!" At this moment, the Dengzhou Army fully developed the advantages of combining hot weapons and cold weapons.

Facing the long-distance enemy Dengzhou army, they stood still and fired, and charged with bayonets in a close range. The Tongzhou army initially tried to stop Dengzhou from entering the city with superior forces.

However, in the face of the Dengzhou Army's tactic of combining distance and near, the Tongzhou Army suffered heavy casualties and suffered heavy casualties. Soon the Tongzhou Army collapsed. In order to save their lives, the soldiers lost their fighting spirit and fled one after another, and for a moment, the Tongzhou City was in chaos.

In the chaotic situation, the Dengzhou army was unstoppable and fought along the north gate to the south gate. After a day and a night of fierce fighting, the Dengzhou army occupied Tongzhou city in full.

After formally taking over Tongzhou City, Ye Qingyun organized soldiers to repair the city walls and gates overnight. This time they attacked Tongzhou and gained an advantage in attacking it. Because of the advantage of artillery, they were able to enter the city quickly, which made many Tongzhou soldiers not yet react to what had happened.

However, Tongzhou is an important port in Wei, but now thousands of merchant ships of all sizes are parked in the port. Now these merchant ships are under Yue Yun's control.

At this time, the loss of the King of Wei in Tongzhou would inevitably be furious, because this was equivalent to cutting off the foundation of the King of Wei's maritime trade. The distance from Jinling City to Tongzhou was about 400 miles. Ye Qingyun believed that the King of Wei would definitely send a large army to seize the city.

Therefore, he had to repair the city defense in advance and let Yue Yun transport the city on the warship to the city. In this way, the Tongzhou city became a wall of iron.

Moreover, Tongzhou City was built near the sea, and Yue Yun's warship was echoing at the sea, so he was not worried about cutting off supplies.

Tongzhou City can provide supplies, and of course they can also transport supplies. According to Xiao Ming's order, he wanted to build Tongzhou City into a bridgehead for attacking Jinling City.
