The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 596 The real war

Bai Mu's formation is very focused. All the heavy troops are deployed outside the north gate of Jianning City. The west gate and the east gate each have a cavalry regiment encircling and patrolling, one of which is the cavalry regiment of the 47th Army.

The cavalry is not used when attacking the city, but it is just used to perform interception and patrol tasks.

Only one south gate was left without deploying any troops. This was also a previously planned deployment, and it was also a channel for the Jianning City defenders to seek help from Zheng Zhilong in Fuzhou.

Now that they have decided to encircle and fight for help, they must fight hard. They will only ask for help from the city of Fuzhou if they are afraid of the Jianning defenders.

So as soon as he came up, Bai Mu ordered all the artillery of the artillery regiment to set up and aim at the north gate of Jianning City.

The running regiment of the First Army can be said to be the strongest and most powerful regiment in the entire National Defense Army sequence, not including light mortars for infantry support tasks, but field artillery, long and heavy artillery, and heavy artillery for siege Artillery artillery These artillery pieces have more than [-] pieces.

As for the shells, needless to say, it can be said that the supply has been opened.

Most of the supplies transported along the canal from the capital this time were all kinds of shells.

For this operation, the logistics troops of the First Army carried enough shells to meet the three major wars, and Yue Pengju in the rear would soon send a large amount of shells and supplies.

Therefore, Bai Mu doesn't have to worry about the lack of shells.

"Order the artillery regiment to open fire, and let Zheng Zhilong see what a real war is." Bai Mu immediately ordered, pointing at Jianning City.

"Fire!" Following the order of Li Hanshou, the commander of the artillery regiment, the long and heavy artillery with the longest range roared first.

Dozens of shells whizzed across the sky, and smashed fiercely into the panicked defenders on the top of the city. Suddenly, there was a bloody storm, and the sound of mourning continued to resound.

The shells caused gravel to fly across the city, causing serious secondary damage to the dense crowd on the top of the city.

After the long and heavy cannon, the field cannon with a shorter range, but the flowering ammunition used appeared on the stage. Amidst the loud bang, the area around the north tower of Jianning City was bloody, with broken arms and limbs flying around.

After the field artillery, dozens of heavy mortars arranged behind a nearby highland outside Jianning City also impatiently made their voices.

The characteristic sharp whistling sound of mortar shells crossed the sky, plunged into the defenders who had already turned into hot pot ants on the top of the city, and shot out countless torrents of steel, sweeping a large area of ​​defenders in the air. land.

As soon as Bai Mu came up, without saying a word, he directly used extremely violent artillery fire to completely stun the defenders of Jianning City. They were completely unable to react as they should, and the only thing they could do was to run away.

After all, strictly speaking, they are just a group of islands temporarily used to defend the city.At sea, they may be fierce and cruel bandits, but on land they are simply a group of rookies.

They have never fought any regular land battles at all, and their previous tyranny is just an existing situation caused by years of fierce life and large numbers of people, and they are not considered elite troops at all.

They don't even know how to defend against artillery, they just scurry back and forth during the shelling, adding a little more success to the artillery regiment of the First Army.

When Zheng Hongkui hurried over in disheveled clothes, he saw a large group of soldiers running around in a mess.

If he hadn't flashed so fast, his throat would have been cut directly by a fragment of a flying shell.

But the soldier behind him was not as lucky as him, and was directly inserted into his left eye by the piece of shell fragments, clutching his left eye and howling miserably.

But the cannons outside the city were still exploding non-stop, and the sound of explosions made Zheng Hongkui, who had been fighting for a long time, frightened.

He really couldn't figure out why the officers and soldiers came here without warning.

And with such a fierce battle from the very beginning, Zheng Hongkui was so flustered that he didn't know how to deal with it.

"Third Master, you are here! The artillery of this official army is too fierce, too fierce! Brothers can't hold it at all, too many people have died. Third Master, you should hurry up and think about it... "

A general in armor and covered in blood cried when he saw Zheng Hongkui rushing over.

This person is Zheng Hongkui's confidant, and also Liu Tianfang, the deputy general of the Jianning City garrison.

"How the hell did you become like this? Are you injured?" Zheng Hongkui asked Liu Tianfang angrily.

"I'm someone else's blood. If it wasn't for my brother, I was hiding in the dead man's pile, and this group would not have seen you, Third Master." Liu Tianfang didn't feel embarrassed at all, still crying.

Although these people are fierce on weekdays, when did they go through such a scene, so all of them were scared out of their wits.

"Damn it, why do the officers and soldiers have so many shells? They haven't stopped fighting for so long! Did that little bastard in Jiangchuan donate his wife?" Zheng Hongkui gave Liu Tianfang a hard look, and kicked him Kicked away, muttering in his mouth.

"Where's our cannon? Fight back, you can't just wait to be beaten!" Zheng Hongkui grabbed Liu Tianfang by the collar and cursed.

"Third Master, our cannons can't hit the officers and soldiers at all, and many of the cannons were blown up by the officers' cannons at the beginning, leaving only the other three walls." Liu Tianfang said loudly.

"Then move it here for me, don't you think it's still possible to have a son!" Zheng Hongkui cursed and kicked Liu Tianfang's ass, so Liu Tianfang had to make arrangements with a sad face.

After Liu Tian was let go, Zheng Hongkui asked someone again, and learned that the officers and soldiers only attacked from outside the north gate, while the east and west gates were patrolled by cavalry, and only the south gate had no officers.

Zheng Hongkui thought for a while and called a soldier: "Take a few people to Fuzhou from the south gate, and ask for help from the uncle, and tell him that the army is too fierce, and ask him to bring those ghosts to reinforce immediately. If you come late The old lady was taken away by the officers and soldiers."

Zheng Hongkui knew that his old lady was the eldest brother's weakness, and as soon as he said that the old lady's elder brother would definitely get sick and send reinforcements.

The personal soldier hurriedly led away, and after a while several fast horses galloped out of the south gate of Jianning City, heading towards Fuzhou.

"Commander, as expected, someone has asked Fuzhou for help." Duan Peng, the captain of the investigation brigade, came to Bai Mu and said.

"Hey, Zheng Hongkui is so irresistible, this is just the beginning, we haven't warmed up yet." Bai Mu said disdainfully.

"Where have these islands of the Zheng family seen such a posture?" Duan Peng laughed.

"Then you continue to monitor and see what this old boy Zheng Hongkui is capable of." Bai Mu nodded and ordered.
