The twenty-four-pound red barbarian cannons roared again and again, and the shells hit the city wall. From time to time, artillery artillery on the city was shot, and artillery shot by the general cannon, tiger squat cannon, Franc and other cannons were knocked into the sky. Suddenly, an ammunition barrel on the city was directly hit by the shells, causing a violent explosion of ammunition, and a large fire rose above the city.

The new army's general artillery and Franc aircraft also joined the shelling of the city. These small cannons could hardly cause any damage to the city wall, but the shells hitting the female wall's battlement caused the bricks on the inner wall to burst, and the broken bricks and stones knocked down the rebel soldiers standing behind the female wall like shrapnel.

Under the cover of the attacking artillery fire, the auxiliary soldiers pushed large ladder trucks, tower trucks, carriages, rushing vehicles, and trench bridge vehicles approached the city wall. Countless auxiliary soldiers carried simple ladders and simple trench bridges, shouting to kill the city wall.

A total of fifty tower-looking cars were pushed out, and two archers who were walking through Yang in each tower-looking car stood on the tower-looking car. The tower-looking car stopped seventy steps away from the city wall and stopped moving forward. The tower-looking car on the tower-looking car could rise to three meters high, higher than the height of the Yizhen City Wall. The archers above could shoot arrows at the top of the city from a high point.

These hundred archers who were passing through Yang with hundreds of steps were all veterans under Gao Wencai's command. Their archery skills were as good as gods, and the arrows were shot without any slightest. Every heavy arrow shot could take away the life of the defenders on the city.

The archers of the defenders on the city wall have to shoot upwards, and the range of heavy arrows is no more than fifty steps; the light arrows shot by the archers on the tower car are not threatening, so they can only watch the archers on the tower car keep shooting arrows at themselves. Not to mention the rebel bird gunner, the direct shooting range of the bird gun is within fifty steps, and it cannot reach the tower car at all. The only thing that can be shot outside of seventy steps is the cannon, but the tower car is very small in size, with a three-foot square chassis at the bottom. , There is a wooden pole in the middle, and the top is a four-foot-square platform. With the touching accuracy of the artillery in this era, it is impossible to accurately hit the Wanglou car. Moreover, the rebels did not have artillery commanders like Zhao Peng, who could accurately hit the target. After the first round of fire was completed, the rebel gunners would have to load ammunition in the Rain of the New Army of Jinyi. It can be said that they did not have the qualities to complete the loading operation under the Rain of the Arrow Rain.

The archers on the watchtower car kept firing arrows to suppress the defenders at the city. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the tiger squat cannon, light Franc, and turtledove guns all rushed up and fired violently at the city.

The auxiliary soldiers carrying the simple trench bridge rushed to the moat and built the simple trench bridge on the moat. Then a large number of auxiliary soldiers carrying the simple trench bridge rushed across the moat in the rain of arrows and put the simple trench ladder on the top of the city.

The simple cloud ladder has a pair of hooks on the head that can be hooked on the female wall marble, making it difficult for the opponent to push the cloud ladder.

After setting up a simple cloud ladder, Nanjing military households holding a knife and a shield began to climb the city wall. On the top of the city, the defenders smashed the gray bottle, poured down gold juice, and slapped the wolf teeth. The yaksha slapped down from the city. From time to time, Nanjing military households screamed and fell from the cloud ladder. Under the city and above the watchtower, Nanjing New Army fired violently at the city top with bows and arrows, bird guns, Lumi guns, turtledove guns, and light Franchis, and also shot many rebel soldiers at the city top.

The ants attack was just a feint, and the real attack was launched by the chariot. Three chariots passed through the filled moat and approached the city wall. The tops of these chariots were covered with thick wet felt and covered with a thick layer of wet soil to prevent the opponent's rockets from firing. At the bottom of the chariot, more than a dozen auxiliary soldiers pushed the chariot forward.

In addition to the auxiliary trumpet at the bottom of each cart, there is also a large wooden box hanging inside, and the box is filled with gunpowder. These gunpowder are all particulate gunpowder improved by Zhao Peng, wrapped in thick oil paper, then wrapped in cloth bags, and finally covered the box lid, leaving a small hole on the box lid. When blasting, insert a medicine twist into the hole.

The bullets shot down like rain on the city wall, hitting the carriage, and the bullets were blocked by thick wooden boards. Rows of rockets shot up from the city wall, piercing on the roof, but the carriage covered with wet soil was very difficult to ignite. The tung oil on the rocket melted and flowed down, burning on the roof, but the auxiliary soldiers of the carriage immediately lifted the basket and poured baskets of wet soil on the roof, which quickly extinguished the flames caused by the rocket.

The Nanjing New Army, which was heading up from behind, also shot at the top of the city to protect the carriage from reaching the city smoothly. Some archers from Nanjing military households also followed up, constantly slapping arrows and shooting light arrows at the top of the city.

The car rushed to the city, and the auxiliary soldiers hiding under the car waved the iron chisel and pried the city bricks one after another. After a while, they dug a few bricks to reveal the rammed earth inside. Under the protection of the thick roof of the car, the auxiliary soldiers hid under the car, digging the city wall one after another, and slowly took out a hole in the city wall.

"The rebels attempted to dig down the city wall! Hurry up, smash them to death with a tinder tank!" Liu Liangzuo yelled.

The defenders on the city were going to smash the tinder tanks down the city, but the archers on the tower had noticed them long ago. When the rebel soldiers picked up the tinder tanks and were about to smash the tinder tanks down the city, one arrow after another shot into the city, shooting the rebel auxiliary soldiers who tried to pick up the tinder tanks and smashed them to the bottom of the city. However, the tinder tanks still fell from the city and fell around the trolleys, smashing to pieces. Then a row of rockets shot on the ground full of tinder oil, igniting a raging fire around the trolleys.

The high temperature and thick smoke made the auxiliary soldiers who were working under the car cry and coughed continuously.

The car was filled with boxes of gunpowder, and was particularly afraid of fire attack. Once the fire spreads to the bottom of the car, it will cause a violent explosion in the gunpowder box, and the people pushing the cart will not survive.

The auxiliary soldiers outside the car rushed up, waved shovels, shoveled up a shovel from the moat, covered the fire, and tried their best to put out the fire. The arrows on the city were like rain, and the auxiliary soldiers who tried to put out the fire fell one by one under the arrow rain. But the living people braved the arrow rain and tried desperately to put out the fire, and no one dared to retreat.

They knew that although Zhao Peng treated the auxiliary soldiers adapted from prisoners well, it was also on the premise of obeying orders. Once he refused to accept the orders and had no hearing of Jin Sheng retreating without authorization, he would be ruthless in military law. One person would be killed if he retreated, and the entire army would be killed if he retreated. If the entire army would be killed, the entire army would be killed.

Under such strict military discipline, no one dares to retreat. If someone escapes without permission, the sergeant will definitely kill that person; if the sergeant is killed, no one in the sergeant will dare to run away. Some people want to run away, and others are afraid of implicating themselves and will kill the runners.

The auxiliary soldiers responsible for protecting the chariot tried to put out the fire at the cost of their lives and saved the crucial chariot. At the same time, the soldiers behind them also attacked the defenders on the city wall with fierce firepower, covering the chariot and the auxiliary soldiers who extinguished the fire.

Finally, the front half of a car drilled into the city wall. The auxiliary soldiers in the car lifted the box filled with gunpowder and inserted a three-foot-long fuse, then stuffed the box into the hole, and then sealed it with a wooden board, so that the fuse could extend out of the hole of the wooden board to the outside. After all this, an auxiliary soldiers lit the fuse, and all the auxiliary soldiers quickly ran out from under the car, shouting loudly while running: "Brothers, go quickly, it's going to explode!"

The auxiliary soldiers responsible for protecting the carriage and the combat soldiers who were behind the fire retreated quickly and fled from the dangerous area. While they turned around and retreated, many auxiliary soldiers were shot and fell down.

Just as everyone fled to the safe range, they heard a loud "rumbling" sound like a mountain collapse and cracks. A thick white smoke rose from the city wall, and a large section of the city wall collapsed amid the explosion.
