East Factory Governor

Chapter 742
Azig has always been calm, standing on the top of the wall and whispering something to the lieutenant beside him.

But Jierhalang next to him was not so calm. He was completely wiped out by Qin Shuhuai in the battle outside Qian'an City, and he finally escaped. Well, he was beheaded long ago.

Even so, but now he can only be a staff officer in the army, and he doesn't even have a direct army of hundreds of people. How can this prevent him from hating Qin Shuhuai to the bone?

Thinking of this, he shouted with great anger, "Han slaves of the Ming army, is your chief general Qin Shuhuai here?"

Lai San'er, who was standing near the front, was immediately delighted when he heard it, hey, does this guy want to have a few words with us first?
Others can bear it, but he can't bear it.

Immediately, he patted his horse forward and shouted loudly, "What kind of a tartar are you from the top of the city? Of course our commander-in-chief is here. Do you want to see him?"

Ji Erhalang said loudly, "Of course I want to see you! Does he have the guts to stand up?"

"Haha!" Lai San'er laughed loudly, "You can see him if you want! Open the city gate, kneel on the ground, and then shout three times that Huang Taiji is a bastard, he will definitely let you see him!"

As soon as these words were finished, everyone in the Ming army burst into laughter, and they kept echoing if there were good things.

"Yes, but you have to put on female makeup!"

"Then you have to squat to pee!"

"Hahaha, this is good, tell a grandpa to have a look?"

Jierhalang turned pale with anger, and shouted, "Turn back to the surnamed Qin, since he has come to my Dajin territory, don't even think about going back! I, Jierhalang, will chop it up one day He feeds the dog!"

"Hey, who can say big things! I still want to use your Huang Taiji's head as a chamber pot!"

The voices of yelling and cursing at each other reached Qin Shuhuai's ears, which made him laugh.

Then he said to Li Jingting, "Don't waste time, send an order to prepare to attack the city. Take it early, so that you can easily deal with the left and right sides."

Li Jingting nodded, and then ran to the front with the commander-in-chief flag, and shouted with great energy, "The whole army obeys the order and prepares to attack the city!"

As soon as his voice fell, two flares immediately went up.

The army dispersed immediately, encircling Tai'an City from the south, west, and east.

The Houjin soldiers on the city wall immediately became tense, with full bows and cannons turned around, ready to fight.

Unexpectedly, after the outflanking was completed, the Ming army stopped 500 meters away from the city wall.

Just when the Hou Jin army was wondering, suddenly a thousand meters away, there was the sound of rumbling guns.

boom!boom!boom!
Fifteen red-clothed cannons are in full swing!

For this expedition, Qin Shuhuai brought a total of [-] cannons in red clothes, which were driven out by Xu Guangqi and his people rushing to work day and night.

Fifteen of them are deployed in the Chinese army.

The fifteen red-clothed cannons gathered together and only bombarded the city wall in the south.

In an instant, fifteen huge shells roared from the sky, but because they were fired for the first time, the landing point was not adjusted, and only three hit the city wall.

But the power of these three is enough to surprise all Tartars!

With the sound of violent explosions, three openings with a square of two feet appeared on the city wall, and the entire city wall could be clearly felt to shake violently, and several people almost fell down without standing still!

This is certainly related to the fact that the walls of Tai'an City are not thick enough and it has been a long time, but it also directly reflects the great power of the upgraded version of the red cannon!

And the other twelve shells that did not hit the city wall all hit the city, and two of them fell on the gathering point of the Houjin soldiers by coincidence, and they were knocked down on the spot after the explosion!
A few more bombs directly hit a big house, and half of that house collapsed in the blink of an eye—it was a brick building!

Before Jin Bing could recover, the second batch of fifteen rounds came again!

This time the aim was much better, half of it landed on the city wall, causing a few more big holes in the city wall, and the shaking became more severe.

One even landed on the battlement, and the battlement exploded into countless rubble on the spot, mixed with the iron pieces from the explosion of the shell, and knocked down a group of golden soldiers.

The Ba Yala soldiers beside Azig panicked, and hurriedly led Azig down the city wall and moved to a safe place.

And Jierhalang was even more frightened, he was in no mood to scold, so he quickly ran down.

Houjin's Fran machine gun on the top of the city can only stare blankly at this moment, because the range of the Fran machine is less than 500 meters, how to fight back?

The cannon in red continued to show off its power.

Boom boom boom!
The tall but old Tai'an city walls were devastated by the fierce artillery fire.

After about half an hour of bombing, the city walls were riddled with holes, and even the city gates were blown down.

"Boom boom boom!"

After firing nearly a hundred more cannons, a section of the city wall to the south collapsed!
Nearly a hundred post-golden soldiers above were all buried in it!

But the Ming army still did not attack, and continued to bombard!

If this continues, the entire southern city wall will collapse, and no one standing on it will survive!
The post-golden soldiers on the city wall felt like they were living targets. They couldn't hit them when they hit them, and they couldn't run if they wanted to run.
On the artillery position 1000 meters away, Zhang Xiao watched everyone busy with a smile.

To say that this thing is really good, especially after being modified by that old guy Xu Guangqi, it not only shoots far and powerful, but also improves its accuracy.

At this moment, someone suddenly ran up and shouted, "General Zhang is not good, a large group of cavalry suddenly appeared on the east and west sides and outflanked us!"

Zhang Xiao suppressed his smile, but he was not too nervous, and asked calmly, "How many?"

"At least five thousand!"

This made him frown slightly, "A lot! Little Tai'an City has spent so much money?"

He immediately ordered, "The horse infantry immediately set up the formation, come according to the predetermined plan!"

Qin Shuhuai asked Zhang Xiao to sit in the artillery position. Of course, it was impossible for him to command the artillery, but to protect the artillery!

Zhang Xiao now has [-] soldiers and horses, of which [-] are shield soldiers and pikemen, who specialize in dealing with cavalry, and the other [-] are cavalry, which are used as a mobile force to adapt to changes.

Why this configuration?

The truth couldn't be simpler!Those who can sneak attack the artillery positions behind the army, besides the cavalry, there is no second unit!So of course Zhang Xiao had to be equipped with a special unit to restrain cavalry!

Following Zhang Xiao's order, the pike infantry deployed around the artillery position immediately moved closer to the artillery, forming a square to surround them tightly.

Among them, the outermost circle is shield soldiers, and behind the shield soldiers are pikemen. The pikemen are all equipped with three-meter long spears, all of which point outward. The whole formation is like a copper wall with thorns.

In the city, Azig commanded in an orderly manner.

"Have Darko's cavalry set off yet?"

"Already set off!"

"Hehe, very good! It can almost make Sakhalin move."

"twitter!"

In response, the messenger immediately ran out.

Azig sneered from his nostrils.

"Qin Shuhuai, I want you to lose half of your troops here first!"

Soon, two flares went up in the city.
