Lincheng, artillery fire rumbled. This time the attack was replaced by Wang Yun's Fuyuan Camp, and Benitez's Western Army exchanged roles with Fuyuan Camp and became the leader.

The wild dog led the other gangs of generals to leave Lincheng long ago. After all the bunkers outside the city were swept away, the subsequent war entered the regular stage, and the wild dog naturally lost interest in watching. In the eyes of the wild dog, it was a foregone conclusion to capture Lincheng.

The artillery concentrated its firepower and blew a section of the city wall on the front. The entire Lincheng swayed in the roar of artillery. No matter how hard the city wall was, it could not fight against such a large-scale centralized bombing. It first cracked and then began to collapse one by one.

Benitez was secretly shocked from behind, and once again had a new understanding of the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty. Because these days, he and the generals of the Ming army were all familiar with each other. As for making friends, nothing could come faster than fighting side by side on the battlefield. Even though some of the generals of the Ming army were beaten extremely badly by the Ming people in Manila, after watching their battle in Lincheng, they also changed their views.

Although Benitez, who has many friends, still has many obstacles in language, he is still slowly understanding the Ming army with the help of the general translation.

How much is a cannon worth and how much does it cost to shoot a shell? He still had a little idea in his mind. In just half a day, the artillery soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were afraid that they would shoot out tens of thousands of taels of silver. The originally seemingly extremely solid city wall was no longer in shape and was shaking.

The battle is just money! Benitez finally had a clear understanding of the general understanding of Ming army officers. Compared with the Ming army's battle, the troops in the Western Continent were more like two beggars waving sticks to compete.

Benitez made a secret calculation in his heart. If he continued to fight like this, he would be a pension and reward for the soldiers afterwards. He would be afraid that he would spend hundreds of thousands of taels to fight a small county town. If he wanted to fight like this in the Western Continent, even the richest grand duke would go bankrupt after a few battles.

However, Wang Yun told him firmly that compared with the soldiers' precious lives, they were more willing to use money to spend, because they could make money again if they lost money, and if they lost their lives, they would be lost. It would take more than ten years for a life from birth to growing into a warrior, and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver may be earned back in a few days and months. If they could use the silver to kill the enemy, the Ming people would be happy to do this.

Benitez could not agree with this view for a moment. In his world, human life seemed to be the most valuable thing. When he came to this new continent and a new empire, his worldview was always under the impact.

In the Western Continent, aristocratic officers like him have a completely differentiated with soldiers. Not only in terms of clothing, food, but also in their daily interactions, there are very few direct contacts between nobles and ordinary people. Under his command, the officers are basically from nobles, the great nobles serve as senior officers, and the small nobles serve as grassroots officers, and ordinary people can only be soldiers who charge forward. But in the Ming army, this situation is invisible. He even saw that a wild dog, a member of the highest-level general of the Ming Dynasty, wrestled with ordinary soldiers with bare arms, and laughed happily to win an ordinary soldier. He could sit on the ground with lunch boxes and eat with ordinary soldiers and claim that today's chef dishes were not delicious.

And he wouldn't do these things, but he wouldn't do them.

After spending a long time with the Ming army, he gradually discovered that the barriers that restricted the Ming army soldiers were not clear about the strict class, but were densely packed with countless military rules that made him feel numb at a glance. From senior officers to ordinary soldiers, they could recite these military rules in a backward manner.

As long as there are no restrictions on military rules, these soldiers will have no taboos.

Just when Benitez was a little soul flew out of the sky, there was a shocking cheer from the front of him, and the sound of the attack drum suddenly sounded. As his heart trembled, he looked up and saw that the wall on the front of Lincheng was finally defeated by artillery that had been bombarded for a long time. In the smoke and dust, the first lieutenant of the Fuyuan Camp, as the vanguard, was already shouting and rushing forward.

Qin Yezhu was holding a shield in one hand and a battle axe in the other, and rushed to the front. Speaking of this huge shield, this Ming army captain wanted to pass by him. Qin Yezhu was not tall, only about 1.65 meters, but if he measured it horizontally, this guy was probably 1.45 meters tall. His whole person looked square, and the huge shield of the Western Army almost covered him. This heavy battle axe was used by the Western Army to break the enemy shield formation, weighing more than 20 kilograms. It is difficult for ordinary soldiers to use it freely, but in this guy's hands, it is as light as a toy.

The Ming soldiers nimblely jumped over the obstacles on the ground and rushed into the city like a tide along the blasted gap. On both sides of the broken entrance and inside the city, the Qi soldiers also rushed out shouting and rushed out. At the break entrance, the two sides collided together.

The Ming army's artillery did not stop bombarding, but part of it extended into the city, while the other part scattered shooting left and right, blocking the reinforcements of the Qi army on both sides.

Zhang Huanghuang handed over the bunkers he controlled to the fourth lieutenant He Lao Yao who came forward to support him. His troops took over and fired with a powerful crossbow from the top of these bunkers. He excitedly led the third lieutenant to follow Qin Yezhu closely. After he and Qin Yezhu attacked the city, Zhao Er's second lieutenant would take over He Lao Yao's third lieutenant, and Fuyuan Camp would continuously launch a series of attacks into the city.

The airship appeared above Lincheng for the first time, but this time they did not participate in the battle situation. The enemy and us were both entangled below, and it was impossible for them to have the opportunity to throw ammunition. What they did was to observe the battle situation and then provide timely information on the battlefield to Wang Yun, the general of the Fuyuan Camp in the distance.

Looking at this scene, Benitez was filled with emotion. For the enemies of Ming Dynasty, this battle could not be fought at all!

"General, we are going to break the city, so why don't we attack too!" A noble general beside him said excitedly.

Benitez glanced at him and knew what the general was thinking. After breaking the city, the soldiers were always the happiest time, because this was also the time for them to get rich. The salary of the Western Army was very meager. If you want to get rich, you basically rely on looting after the war, which was also what the Western Army agreed to. If you want the soldiers to maintain high morale, this is obviously the simplest way to do so.

But this method is completely unworkable for Ming people.

Before going to the battlefield, my translation specifically emphasized the military discipline of the Ming army to myself.

Kill the robber!

The adulterer will kill him!

The shocking words of killing are created by the iron discipline of the Ming army.

"We are temporarily under the command of General Wang of Fuyuan Camp. When will the attack be initiated by General Wang." Benitez said coldly: "And even if we participate in the attack and enter the city, we cannot do anything. I believe we have already explained it very clearly to you. Now we need to abide by their military discipline and military rules in the battle sequence of Ming people, otherwise we will have to die!"

The salary paid to the Western Army by the Ming Dynasty was paid according to the salary paid to the regular army of the Ming army. For the noble officers, this was nothing, but for ordinary soldiers, it was extremely generous. Since you have paid you a full and generous salary, you can no longer do those robbery things.

"But general, we need more military merits!" the noble officer whispered.

The military achievements made by the Western Army will not give them the opportunity to be promoted, because all military achievements will be calculated as income as the basis for support to Mattus.

As the two were talking, a messenger rushed from Fuyuan Camp.

Wang Yun issued an order to prepare the Western Army to attack.

Because the struggle was not long at the gap in the city wall, the Qi army retreated into the city and gave up this breakthrough that seemed to be a battle to the end. This made Wang Yun immediately understand that the Qi general Zhang Tianai planned to engage in a street battle in the city with him. As an experienced veteran, Wang Yun deeply understood that this kind of street battle was more challenging to the soldiers' nerves than the cruel siege battle.

For the Ming army today, the city wall is no longer an obstacle. It is nothing more than bombarding him with cannons. No matter how strong the city wall is, it cannot withstand the long-term bombardment of cannons. However, in street fighting, the cannons will immediately lose their place of use unless you are ready to razed the city into a flat ground.

At this time, of course, more people will be invested to oppress and expel opponents. Go to one house after another, one lane after another to compete with the enemy.

For Wang Yun, such a war is undoubtedly the most annoying, because it will cause a sharp increase in casualties in his troops.

In the evening, when the cavalry battalion led by Li Xiaoya returned to Lincheng, the battle in the city continued in some places, but most of the city areas had become quiet. Above the city, the sun and moon flag of the Great Ming Dynasty, fluttering above the city, announced that Lincheng had been included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

In this battle, the five thousand infantry and cavalry stationed in Lincheng of Qi were almost completely destroyed. The lord of Lincheng Zhang Tianai finally came to the city, and the cavalry general Li Chengzhen died on the battlefield, while the Ming army, including the Western Army, suffered more than a thousand casualties. This winter, the first large-scale battle between Qi and the last battle, may be the last battle, which brought the curtain to the end.
