Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 24 Non-standard Firearms

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The cannons are still roaring, but the frequency has dropped a lot because the distance between the two sides has become closer.

"Set up the ladder and rush up for me!"

The disheartened Li Sutai finally braved the firepower of the Ming army to get to the city.

There are already more than 400 corpses of Jinbing who fell along the way.He, Li Soltai, had never seen such a tragic battle.Fortunately, they came to the city.

Except for the chariots that were destroyed by the artillery, trapped in the trench, and unable to move, nearly half of the chariots successfully arrived under the city wall.The archers of the golden soldiers who were covered by the chariot tried to start a counterattack, but they desperately found that the musket fire at the top of the city was too violent and intensive, and they didn't even dare to shoot arrows above the city wall.

It can only rely on the soldiers to squeeze up the wall with their lives!Li Soltai hysterically urged the soldiers to charge upwards.

"One, two, three!" Several peasants in the city held the bumper, and they all knocked down a ladder hooked on the city wall.

"Ah!" The golden soldiers who were originally on the ladder fell to the ground like grasshoppers being strung together.

In addition to hitting the wood, the civilian husband who can't operate the musket desperately threw stones down, venting all his usual resentment towards the golden soldiers on the stones.

What was even more frightening was that a red-hot iron chain hanging from the city wall began to ripple, sweeping away the golden soldiers attached to the wall.

The fiery iron chain sizzled, and all the golden soldiers who were burned screamed in pain!Moreover, the iron chain that was burned red by the coals is still a super-wide-range attack!
... If so, Jin Bing still used hands and feet to climb up.

A golden soldier held a big knife in one hand and ran up the ladder with all his strength.Fortunately, he was not hit by the falling stones from the top of the city, and also escaped the rippling iron chains.He saw the end of the city wall, and soon he would be able to climb to the top of the city and fight his way out...

However, what awaited him at the end of the city wall was a hollow muzzle pointing horizontally at his head.

"No..." The poor Jin Bing opened his mouth in despair.

Bang!
With a gunshot, a cold body fell to the ground.

On the city wall, there was already a row of musketeers ready to go. As long as there were golden soldiers climbing up the ladder, they would send them on the road with muskets.

The Jin soldiers, who were forced to risk their lives, rushed to attack Wanghai Fort one after another, but they still couldn't cross the thunder pool one step.

Of course, these golden soldiers are not completely without progress. Some people used shovels and big knives to dig out holes in the stone and mud walls that could accommodate people a little. With these holes, the stones on the walls could not Smash the person inside.

"Retreat!" Li Sutai saw that his men were still unable to reach the top of the city, and the casualties were increasing, so he gave up his plan to ascend the city.

After the chief gave the order, the remaining golden soldiers abandoned the ladders and chariots and began to retreat crazily.They retreated far faster than they attacked, and they just wanted to escape from this place of death quickly.

In addition to the golden soldiers who discarded their helmets and armor, there were still some golden soldiers who stayed in the hollow and continued to dig through the city wall.

"This group of tortoises want to run away because they can't beat them? Keep firing cannons!" Dong Dawei took advantage of the victory and pursued, using artillery to expand the results of the battle.

Under the bombardment of artillery, Jin Bing dropped dozens of corpses.

When the golden soldiers withdrew from the attack range of the artillery, most of the first batch of siege troops with thousands of people were killed or injured.

"Master Baylor, this subordinate has tried his best, please punish him!" Li Shitai, with a face full of black smoke and mud, half-kneeled in front of Mang Er Gutai holding his iron helmet full of blood.

His mood could not calm down for a long time.

"It's not your fault. The Ming army's artillery reminded me of the battle of Ningyuan City, as if I went back to that day... It is indeed as you said, you tried your best. Next, let's see their performance." Mang Er It is rare for Gu Tai not to lose his temper, but let Li Sutai get up.

Indeed, as Mang Er Gutai said, the next step is to rely on the dozens of gold soldiers hiding in the cave to dig out a big hole, and then the most elite Eight Banners cavalry will attack like lightning to quickly break through the fortress of Wanghai Fort. defense.

"Thinking to break through my fortress by digging a wall? Mang Ergutai, you are still too young." Chu Yun leaned against the city wall and smiled.

Coming from later generations, he is very familiar with the fighting methods of Jin Bing. He is now guarding the sea castle, which is just a replica of the great victory of Ningyuan.And a year ago when Ningyuan won the victory, Yuan Chonghuan figured out a way to deal with the golden soldiers in the cave.

"Bring cotton and cloth!"

Carts of worn-out cotton cloth and cotton that had been eliminated by textile factories were pushed up, and then poured down the city wall.

The golden soldiers hiding in the hollow didn't know what would happen, they just wondered why the Ming army on the top of the city would drop these harmless things.

"Prepare the torch and gunpowder, throw them down!" Chu Yun sneered.

Buckets of black powder fell, and with the torches drawing graceful arcs in the air, the city became a sea of ​​flames! ! !
"Ah! No!" The flames splashed on the golden soldiers hiding in the hollow, and they screamed like killing pigs, rolling on the ground non-stop.

Below the city wall has become a sea of ​​flames, comparable to hell on earth!

This fire completely burned out Mang Ergutai's hope of cutting a gap in the city wall.

"Such a comprehensive defense system allows us to do whatever we want. Who is the officer of the Ming army who is guarding the sea castle?" Mang Ergutai's eyes reflected the raging fire, and the contempt faded away, leaving only fear.

"We don't know about this..." Li Sutai also wanted to know who was on the other side who made himself so humiliated.

"Could it be that Yuan Chonghuan came to Jinzhou secretly? Impossible, this is too absurd..." Mang Er Gutai immediately thought of Governor Yuan, and it was far from his expectation that it would be a small Ming Dynasty Qianzong.

Repelled an enemy attack, killed 510 Jinbing soldiers, injured 360 Jinbing soldiers, only dozens of casualties, and gained a total of 170 civilization points.It can be described as a complete victory.

According to the battle report statistics function of the industrial revolution system, Chu Yun immediately knew the casualty statistics of both sides.Chu Yun was quite satisfied with such a victory.But the big fish Mang Ergu Tai is still behind.

In the next two days, Mang'er Gutai led his troops to attack several times, leaving hundreds of corpses each time, but he still couldn't break through the all-round fire defense system of Wanghai Fort near COSCO City.You can't even win the mere Wanghai Fort, so how can you go south to eliminate the Ming army of Lushun Guard?Mangurtai became anxious, and from time to time he beat the soldiers to vent his anger.

At this moment, Li Sutai, who had been observing for two whole days, came to Mang Er Gutai on his own initiative: "Master Belle, maybe I have a way to break Wanghai Fort!"

"Say it!" Mang Ergutai urged.

Li Sutai said mysteriously: "That is—to dig a tunnel."
