Ming Zuo

Chapter 711
Where the blade passes, the bone is broken and the tendon is broken.

The blood turned into red rain, drenching Li Chongtian's body, making him look like a demon god descended into the world.

This scene is really frightening.

both sides!

Those who were still alive among the officers and soldiers who climbed the city wall, saw their companions die tragically, and fled one after another.It doesn't matter whether there is a way or not, let alone the consequences of escaping, even directly climbed over the city wall, and jumped down sullenly.

I would rather fall to the ground and die than face this terrible murderer.

The defenders were no better.

Jiangnan, where the style of writing is prevalent, has ever seen such a terrible killing?
For the first time, the defenders discovered that the war was so terrifying.

"What are you doing in a daze, is there a quarrel in the vegetable market?"

Li Chongtian was furious and yelled at this group of unworthy guys.

Finally, this group of people came back to their senses, and rushed to the city wall to clean up the long ladder of the officers and soldiers.

With him personally demonstrating, the momentum of the defenders has completely changed.

They finally understood that this was not a play, but a life-and-death war.

When faced with the attack of the official army, they dared to hand out their weapons and kill the same living human beings on the opposite side.

The fighting situation suddenly became lively.

Zhu Guobi and Fang Yuegong were very sorry to see the officers and soldiers attacking the city wall and being driven down again.

"Let Zhenjiang Wei go up, and must enter the city today."

Zhu Guobi felt that it was hopeful to break the city, so he decided to increase his troops and sent the most capable Zhenjiang Guard.

And the performance of Zhenjiang Guards was indeed better than that of the officers and soldiers on other roads.

Zhenjiang Wei actually had a charging car and a battering hammer in his hands.

Li Zheng, the commander of Zhenjiang Guards, asked the infantry to walk in front with shields in hand, escorting the rams and battering rams and slowly approached the city wall.

Obviously, there is such a sharp weapon for breaking the city, which is a great threat to the defender.

Naturally, Wang Ruixian sensed the abnormality and quickly ordered.

"Push the cannon over and knock out the trebuchets of the officers and soldiers. Assemble the Musketeers and follow me out of the city."

Xu Erjue was on the side, and he was terrified when he heard his arrangement.

"Mr. Wang, you can't leave the city. Otherwise, once defeated, the officers and soldiers will take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill Songjiang, and Songjiang will not be able to defend it."

Wang Ruixian pointed to Zhenjiang Wei who was getting closer.

"The officers and soldiers have battering hammers in their hands. If we don't drive them back, once we let them approach, the city gate will definitely be knocked open, and we still won't be able to hold it."

Seeing that Xu Ji and others all looked panic-stricken, Wang Ruixian had no choice but to explain patiently.

"Defending the city can't just defend the city wall, otherwise there will be losses. Our Musketeers should come in handy at this time."

He is the commander in chief of the war, and once he has made up his mind, no one can stop him.

The firearms team of more than [-] people was gathered by him and came to the city.

The city gate opened slowly, and more than four hundred people walked out cautiously.

Seeing the opening of the city gate of Songjiang Mansion, all the officers and soldiers were amazed.

Fang Yuegong speculated wildly.

"Could it be that the people in the city are afraid of my Tianwei and are ready to surrender?"

Zhu Guobi was full of black lines, and found that these civil servants really did nothing but hold back.

But he didn't know what was going on, so he could only pay close attention.

Just as the Musketeers drove out of the city and lined up against the city, the artillery was already set up on the bed.

The elite intelligence department, who personally operated the guns, aimed at the catapults of the officers and soldiers and fired continuously.

The total distance is less than [-] meters, which is similar to shooting in front of the new army artillery.

Every time the cannonball was fired, a trebuchet was overturned, and many officers and soldiers were killed.

The power of explosive bullets is far beyond that of solid bullets.

Even the flowering bombs used by the government and the army are far inferior to gunpowder because they use black powder.

When did the officers and soldiers see this formation?
Seeing that the trebuchets were blown up one after another, the people beside them died without a place to bury them, and the rest ignored the orders and turned around and ran away.

Without the threat of the trebuchet, the pressure on the city suddenly eased, and the counterattack became stronger.

outside the city.

After a long meal, Wang Ruixian finally got the Musketeers to line up.

"Listen to my order and move forward five steps."

More than four hundred gunmen counted their steps and walked forward for a while.

No more, no less, exactly five steps.

Absolutely not more, if there are more, the formation will be messed up.

Wang Ruixian didn't even have time to take care of Zhenjiang Wei on the opposite side, his eyes were only on his own array.

After seeing the chaotic array that was lively for a while, and finally stabilized, he said again: "Five more steps forward."

Just like that, the Musketeers moved like ants, getting closer to Zhenjiang Wei little by little.

On the side of Zhenjiangwei, Li Zheng couldn't figure out why the people in the city came out.

Since he dared to confront Zhenjiang Wei outside the city, there should be something, which made him cautious.

The two sides got closer and closer, and finally came within a hundred paces.

Wang Ruixian saw that many people in the Musketeer team had pale faces and trembling lips, and knew that the critical point in their hearts was about to be reached.

Can't wait any longer!
"First row, raise your gun."

This order was given at the right time, and the gunmen raised their muskets before they had time to think about it.

At this moment, Wang Ruixian's palms were full of sweat.

He was afraid that after a real fight, these people would collapse without a fight, and that would be a lot of fun.

But things had come to this, and he had no choice.

"Fire!"

bang bang bang bang...

The muskets in the first row emitted bursts of white smoke, and hundreds of bullets struck Zhenjiang Wei.

The second monk Li Zhengzhang couldn't figure it out.

What's the use of firing a gun at such a distance of a hundred steps?

This scene made him somewhat put away his worries, feeling that the person opposite him was a complete rookie in the battlefield.

Undoubtedly, the credit for this victory should go to Zhenjiang Wei.

And when they saw the Musketeers raise their guns, the infantry of Zhenjiang Guard had already put up their shields.

According to their experience, muskets fired at such a long distance, let alone shields, and even without shields, they would not be able to cause much damage.

Therefore, all the soldiers of Zhenjiang Guard were in the presence of old gods, and they even accelerated their pace of advancement.

But when the violent bullet rain crashed in, the soldiers in the front row suddenly disappeared, and everyone was shocked, as if they had seen a ghost.

Li Zheng was tongue-tied and forgot to direct the battle.

What kind of firearm is this?
Why is it so powerful?

The officers and soldiers in Jiangnan didn't even know that Shandong's muskets had a long range and great power.

The Jiangnan officers and soldiers are also quite inadequate in terms of military equipment.

For example, their shields are not made of iron, but rattan.

Such rattan shields are very useful in Jiangnan.

Because the water network is densely covered here, and the weather is hot and humid, the lightweight rattan shield will not increase the burden, and it is enough to guard against bows and arrows. Sometimes soldiers can even use the rattan shield to swim across the river.

Moreover, the rattan shield is not afraid of fire after being smeared with tung oil, which is most suitable for fighting in the south of the Yangtze River.

But the rattan shield is not an iron shield after all. It can defend against bows and arrows. When it comes to Shandong's well-made muskets, it is no different from paper.

Seeing the shooting from the first row bring down many officers and soldiers, Wang Ruixian's confidence increased greatly, and his voice was raised a little.

"The first row retreats, the second row moves forward, prepare..."
