The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Cai Ming's adjutant said.

"Brigade Commander, Qing Gouzi blocked the gates of Yangzhou City with bricks and sandbags in order to defend the city."

"Our brethren are cleaning up!"

"Combined with the time it takes for the heavy artillery to be transported into the city, the heavy artillery will probably not be deployed until noon tomorrow."

After Cai Ming heard this, he pondered for a while and then spoke.

"The order continues, the battle of the Bell and Drum Tower will be temporarily slowed down, and the remnants of the Qing army in the city will be cleaned up first."

"After the heavy artillery is in place, launch an attack on the Bell and Drum Tower!"

In the end, Cai Ming decided to slow down the offensive first, and bring heavy artillery into the city, at most it will be tomorrow.

He couldn't wait for such a day!
Following Cai Ming's order, various ministries of the Ming army began to attack in all directions to clean up the remaining resistance of the Qing army in Yangzhou City.

Surround the Bell and Drum Towers from all directions!
On the second day, the sky will be bright!

After a night of cleaning up, the blocked Yangzhou city gate was finally cleared out.

A series of heavy artillery was dragged into Yangzhou City, and began to arrange artillery positions around the Bell and Drum Tower.

By noon, the artillery array of the Ming army had been set up, and the muzzles of each of the black holes were all pointing at the bell and drum tower in the middle.

One by one, the elite troops of the Ming army also followed the order and arrived at their predetermined positions!

stop!
Hugh!

Take a break!
The ear-piercing sound resounded throughout Yangzhou City.

A round of rockets pierced the sky and shot towards the Bell and Drum Tower.

The stiff rocket warhead hit the main building of the Bell and Drum Tower and was embedded in the main building.

Boom!Boom!
A deafening explosion sounded instantly, and the shock wave raged as if to destroy everything.

The shock generated by the explosion almost shattered the internal organs of the Qing army hiding in the Bell and Drum Tower.

The next instant there was the roar of heavy artillery from the Ming army!
A round of shells mercilessly hit the architectural theme of the Bell and Drum Tower, leaving very obvious bullet marks.

The wall was shattered, and pieces of bricks and stones rustled and fell!

Dusty!

"kill!"

"Kill the prisoner!"

"..."

At the same time, the piercing charge sounded.

The Ming army's offensive was surging like a wave, and countless soldiers of the Ming army rushed towards the Bell and Drum Tower.

Snapped!clap clap!

The sound of musket shooting continued one after another.

Not only were the musketeers of the Ming army providing suppressive firepower for the attacking troops, but the musketeers of the Qing army were also fighting back.

The charge resounded throughout Yangzhou City, and the Ming army's offensive was like a wave.

Feeling the sound of lead bullets from time to time, or the sound of arrows passing by his ears, there was no slight fluctuation on Zhou Yijian's face.

Just put your head down and charge forward!

The musket in his hand had already been bayoneted and loaded.

Just wait for the battle to meet the enemy!

At this moment, he suddenly saw a Qing army archer poking his head out from behind the trench.

See subconsciously raise a gun and shoot on Monday.

There was a crisp sound, and thick gunpowder smoke rose from the muzzle of his gun.

Under the action of the thrust produced by the deflagration of gunpowder, a lead bullet was shot out of the gun chamber while spinning. …

With a whoosh, it penetrated into the chest of the Qing army archer and knocked down the Qing army archer.

The kinetic energy carried by the lead bullet mercilessly crushed its internal organs.

However, after Zhou Yijian fired the shot, before he could continue to charge forward, he felt a pain in his chest.

With a bang, his head froze for a moment, and he felt an unimaginable blow to his chest.

The body suddenly leaned back!

Then let out a violent cough.

Zhou Yijian's palm trembled, and he touched the place where he was shot in the chest.

The next moment, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the breastplate he was wearing was of high quality, and the head-on lead bullet just now only left a dent on his breastplate.

Although the lead bullet was deformed and inlaid on the breastplate, it failed to penetrate the armor.

But even so, he still felt as if his sternum was about to split.

At that moment as if a heavy hammer hit his chest, Zhou Yijian felt that he was only a little bit away from suffocation.

He wanted to get up from the ground again, but he couldn't do it at all.

The next moment, a palm was pressed on Monday's shoulder, and a medical soldier in white said.

"If you are injured, just lie down and don't be brave!"

"There is only one life, and there will be plenty of opportunities to make contributions in the future, so there is no need to force it!"

While speaking, several medical soldiers came forward, took off Zhou Yijian's breastplate, put him on a stretcher, and then quickly withdrew.

……

The Ming army's offensive continued, and grenades were thrown into the trenches one after another.

The rumbling explosion caused a lot of smoke and dust in the trench!
The Qing army hiding in the trench suffered heavy losses in an instant, and the shock waves and fragments tore apart a human body.

Blood and viscera were spilled everywhere, and the lake filled the entire trench.

In the next moment, the attacking troops of the Ming army jumped into the trench and strangled with the Qing army that survived the explosion of the grenade.

In an instant, the two sides collided, and the soldiers handed over!
The fighting was quite tragic for the Qing army.

Facing the armored Ming army, they really couldn't bear it.

In the blink of an eye, the defense line of a trench was gnawed down by the Ming army.

The routs of the Qing army were pushed back and retreated continuously, while the forwards of the Ming army continued to attack, engulfing the routs, and making continuous breakthroughs.

One after another, the defense lines of the Qing army were gnawed down one after another.

Under the Ming army's offensive, the Qing army's defense line was compressed little by little.

The Bell and Drum Tower where Fei Yanggu was located also became dilapidated little by little under the bombardment of heavy artillery.

Ding Shi glanced at the firepower point of a Qing army bunker in front of him, and ordered.

"Brothers, work harder, take down the firepower point in front, and open the attack channel for the brothers in the rear!"

Under his command, the soldiers under his command launched an attack again.

Several small-caliber field artillery provided them with fire cover!
The shells hit the fortifications of the firepower point of the fully enclosed bunker, but the effect was very little.

Some solid shells were even bounced straight away!
However, the musketeers and archers of the Qing army hid in the firepower points of the bunkers and projected firepower outward.

Arrows missed and shot, lead bullets flew, causing a lot of casualties to the Ming army attacking towards the Bell and Drum Tower.

Moreover, because the building of this firepower point is a semi-embedded building, it is also very low.

Therefore, the heavy artillery of the Ming army could not reach this firepower point at all!
If you want to unplug the firepower of this bunker, you can only let the infantry gnaw it.

It was against this background that Ding Shi was ordered to lead the team to take down this firepower point.

"Rush! Rush! Rush!"

The attacking troops of the Ming army were doing very standard tactical actions, advancing in skirmish lines.

Not creeping forward, or zigzagging.

The crackling gunshots continued one after another!
Lead bullets were fired towards this firepower point, providing cover for their own attacking troops.
