A staff officer couldn't help covering his head and said with a headache: "This is troublesome, the whole city's military and civilians are defending, it's a bit difficult to fight!!"

  Qiu Sheng sneered at this: "On the surface, it seems crazy enough, cruel enough, and annoying enough.

  Most of the people here must have been coerced and lured into the battlefield reluctantly!"

  "Just beat them hard, beat them down, beat them stunned!"

  "It should be a mob, that's a mob!"

  "It can't stop us!!"

  Speaking of this, Qiu Sheng said with a face full of disdain: "These people are playing with methods that are behind the entire era! In the era of cold weapons, they are definitely the most troublesome and difficult enemies!"

  "But now, under the bombardment of artillery and the shooting of muskets, the people they coerced and lured out are all cannon fodder!"

  "The role of cannon fodder can only consume our shells and bullets!"

  Speaking of which, he couldn't help but secretly thank himself that he had always attached great importance to the issue of logistical supplies, and that he had been steadfast and steady, and that he did not lead his troops to advance easily for the sake of being fast and accurate.

  Otherwise, once it is blocked somewhere, the logistics supply can't keep up, and the artillery has no gunpowder shells to shoot, then it will be embarrassing! In the face of this kind of military and civilian defense of the city, a city that is resolutely defended to the end.

  Qiu Sheng also has no good solution. He has only one trick. He uses a large amount of artillery shells piled up with silver dollars to completely destroy the enemy!! Fortunately, the Weihai Guards are now equipped with a large number of guns and artillery, otherwise they will still be like before. , only if fighting with cold weapons.

  Even if you are armed to the teeth, you will have to pay a lot of casualties! After all, melee combat is extremely dangerous, and no matter how strong the defense is, it will not be able to withstand the attacks of many random knives and guns! The third army is secretly glad that it has A lot of artillery, just use the silver bullet to attack.

  On the other side, above the city wall of Qingzhou Prefecture, many gentlemen of Qingzhou Prefecture took a breath of cold air when they looked at the Weihai Guards that surrounded their Qingzhou Prefecture city and surrounded them.

  Although there are a lot of descriptions in the intelligence, how majestic and mighty the Weihai Guards are, how crazy their equipment is, and how strict the discipline is.

  However, when they saw the real elites of the Weihai Guards, all the gentlemen of Qingzhou Prefecture were also frightened.

  "This is the Weihai pirate army!"

  A squire looked at the Weihai Guards outside the city with a stunned expression, his eyes were fixed on the row of seventy-five artillery pieces, and his eyes almost popped out in shock.

  The artillery of this era is very powerful because of its small power.

  Even the smallest three-jin cannon is a thousand jins! In the eyes of others, it is a real giant. Looking at it from a distance, they feel a suffocating sense of shock.

  The rest of the squires and wealthy businessmen also had an eye-opening and shocking look, and said with emotion: "I finally understand why we lost [-] to [-] troops in just a few days!!"

  "In front of these cannons, no soldier can carry

  Hold on!!"

  "Not to mention, they are also heavily armed with muskets!!"

  Many squires and wealthy businessmen looked at each other in dismay, and suddenly felt a sense of regret.

  Is it really the right thing to fight against such a terrifying force? Although the Weihai Guards are all heretics.

  However, there is also a saying passed down from the ancestors - those who know the current affairs are the heroes! For a time, all the old men left the city wall one after another, not daring to look at it any longer.

  They are afraid that if they continue watching, they will undermine their confidence and determination to resist.

  Because they had no choice but to resist to the end! The main force of the Third Army, which was approaching the city, was terrified of the gentlemen in the Qingzhou City as soon as they appeared.

  Outside the city, the Third Army did not rush to attack.

  Because the city wall of Qingzhou Prefecture is strong, the wall is not only high, but also thick. There are only seventy-five artillery pieces, bombarding the city wall that has been heightened and reinforced by the entire city's military and civilians, and some firepower is insufficient.

  Therefore, they just kept firing artillery and shelling Qingzhou Fucheng, attacking the morale and confidence of the defenders in the city, and at the same time waiting for the news of the ten 10 guards who were released.

  Ten 10 guards were all released to attack the prefecture and county gates of Qingzhou Prefecture, in order to encircle Qingzhou Prefecture in the general direction and strategically.

  At the same time, it is also disintegrating the resistance forces in Qingzhou Prefecture! The main task of the third army is very simple, that is, to block the Qingzhou Prefecture City, put the Qingzhou Prefecture City meal on the table, and wait for the opportunity to change to a better and more comfortable posture , start eating.

  With the passage of time, the prefectures and counties under Qingzhou Prefecture were lost one by one, especially the prefectures and counties around Qingzhou Prefecture City, which were losing crazily.

  The gentlemen in Qingzhou City started to get anxious! If this goes on, defending the city will become a dead city! They did not expect that when the Weihai Guards have an absolute advantage, they can still fight so firmly! They are not in a hurry. To attack the city, but to capture the prefectures and counties of Qingzhou Prefecture one by one! Unfortunately, it is useless for them to be in a hurry. They can hold a large number of cannon fodder to defend the city, but if they want to go out of the city to fight in the field, it is impossible! There is no such thing at all. Kind of... the ability to go out to the city to fight in the field! Suddenly, the gentlemen of Qingzhou Fucheng sat down, and as time passed, their faces became more and more ugly, and they became more and more depressed and desperate.

  For the gentlemen of Qingzhou Fucheng, most of their family property is not in the Fucheng, but in the prefectures and counties below! Now the Weihai Guards have copied their nests one by one, it's no wonder they can make them happy! It can be surprising that the Third Army did not follow the routine: play cards! A large number of troops from Qingzhou Prefecture were dispatched to help Qingzhou Prefecture City, with the idea of ​​​​defending the city.

  As a result, the ten 10 garrison troops released by the Third Army attacked the prefectures and counties, and they were unstoppable!

  So, it only took ten days to occupy the whole territory of Qingzhou Prefecture! From the third day of the army's arrival in Qingzhou Prefecture City, artillerymen from various guards continued to come to the battlefield of Fucheng, and the artillery of Weihai Guards outside the city The number is also increasing.

  On the tenth day, with the exception of a few guards who were far away, all the artillerymen of the guards arrived.

  The number of assembled artillery pieces has increased from seventy-five to one hundred and fifty!

Chapter [-] People panic, morale collapses

  In the city of Qingzhou Prefecture, which had been blocked for ten days, as time went on, the states and counties under the Qingzhou Prefecture were lost, causing people in the city to panic. The news of Weihai Guard's breach immediately caused an uproar in the entire Qingzhou Prefecture! "You heard that all the prefectures and counties under our Qingzhou Prefecture were breached by the Weihai Guards outside the city. Except for the city, they had already occupied them. The whole Qingzhou Prefecture!"

  "Ah, what you said is that all the subordinate states and counties have been lost, and we can't get out. Does that mean that our Qingzhou prefecture has become an island!!"

  "Isolated Island is right, it is indeed an isolated island! The reinforcements from the state government outside can't even enter our Qingzhou Palace, not to mention, they themselves can't protect themselves! This time, the Weihai Guards used [-] troops. Ah, there are more than [-] elite soldiers! Those are the elite soldiers with guns and artillery outside the city!!"

  "Then now, our Qingzhou Fucheng is really finished!!"

  "It must be over, how can we keep it going? Our Qingzhou City has not many soldiers and horses, and we still rely on young people to defend the city, even men, women and children! If the communication channel outside is not cut off, and if there are reinforcements rushing to help, We may be able to defend the city by relying on the strength of the entire city's military and civilians.

  But now, don't even think about the reinforcements, such as Jinan Prefecture and Yanzhou Prefecture, they themselves are all clay Buddhas and they can't protect themselves!"

  "It's over, it's over, people don't need to attack the city at all, we can be trapped in the city! There are so many soldiers and civilians in the city, how can there be food to eat? If it goes on like this, people will have to eat people!"

  "Wow, I don't want to eat people!!"

  ""

  The army and the people in the city were talking, panicking, nervous and frightened, their morale dropped to a freezing point, and there was almost no fighting spirit at all.

  What's even more frightening is that people in the whole city are panicking, rumors and rumors are rampant, and they are spreading everywhere, scaring many people.

  For a time, the only enemies of Weihaiwei were the squires, wealthy businessmen, officials, and gentlemen, not the common people. Even Weihaiwei was very kind to the common people. In the territory of Weihaiwei, everyone had food and clothing. It started to spread everywhere, and it was everywhere.

  There are even rumors that these masters will drag the entire city's soldiers and civilians to be buried with them before they die! Previously, none of the five or six recruited Wan Qingzhuang did not return. This is conclusive evidence.

  Rumors, rumors and rumors, the more they spread, the bigger the trouble! The result is that the hearts of the entire Qingzhou City have been broken, the hearts of the people are not aligned, the team is scattered, and it is even worse to lead the team.

  This is not a simple coercion and inducement, and it can make people look at death as if they are at home, and burst into combat power.

  But at this moment, even the gentlemen in the city couldn't block the news if they wanted to! Because even they themselves panicked.

  The wealthy, wealthy, merchants, and officials gathered in Qingzhou Fucheng, most of their industries and families, are not in the Fucheng, but in the vast prefectures and counties outside the city.

  At this moment, the Weihai Guards, except for the city, had already occupied the entire territory of Qingzhou.

  This means that their old nests have been raided by the Weihai Guards! How can they sit still without panic? "Damn Weihai Guards, how despicable and shameless!! It happened that all the prefectures and counties under Qingzhou Prefecture were attacked, isn't it our life!"

  "Ten generations of people who have worked so hard to become rich are all gone in one day!!"

  "Ah, ah, I don't know, we're here again

  What's the use of spending money, materials, and people, struggling to resist the Weihai Guards!"

  "Yeah, we are risking the destruction of the family, but it is these people who are here to protect the city. This is really ridiculous!!"

  "Yes, the old man now thinks that we are a joke at this moment!!"

  "Soldiers never tire of cheating! We actually made such a big mistake, it's just a joke!!"

  "No more beatings, no more beatings, our fields, family properties, and clansmen are all gone, and we're kicking a fart! Could it be that the hard work and hard work spent such a large price is to save my own life, if it was to save my life, I would have long ago Running away, running far away, wouldn't it be better!"

  "No matter what you do, it's not a fight, and it's not a fight if you don't, what should I do!"

  ""

  The [-]rd Army blocked Qingzhou Prefecture City. First, it took the prefectures and counties under Qingzhou Prefecture to open the operation, occupied all the prefectures and counties in Qingzhou Prefecture in one go, and copied all the old man's nests in the city. Bewildered.

  As a result, the gentry group, which worked together as one, was internally divided.

  Some people feel that the old nest has been copied, and there is no need to continue to fight! While some people are broken and broken, they must continue to fight to the end.

  There are many more people who are panicked and panicked and don't know what to do.

  Because the Third Army first destroyed the prefectures and counties of Qingzhou Prefecture, and then broke down the five, Qingzhou Prefecture City, the tactical arrangement of Qingzhou Prefecture City led to chaos in Qingzhou Prefecture City.

  Outside Qingzhou Prefecture.

  "People in the city are panicked, chaotic, and demoralized!"

  "Hahaha, make trouble, make trouble!!"

  Qiu Sheng couldn't help laughing when he heard the situation from inside the city, schadenfreude.

  Facts have proved that under absolute strength, all the reactionary forces are paper tigers! The army and the people of the whole city are defending the city, looking very tough and crazy.

  But in fact, as long as a little pressure is exerted on the outside and rumors spread wildly inside, the internal forces can be disintegrated and chaotic.

  A city without morale and concerted efforts, even if the entire city is defended by the army and the people, how much fighting power can it exert, and how much resistance it has! "The time has come, now is the best time to conquer Qingzhou Prefecture, attacking the city. City!"

  The corner of Qiu Sheng's mouth showed a hint of coldness, he waved his hand on the spot, and ordered to attack the city.

  "fire!!"

  To the east of Qingzhou Prefecture City, one hundred and fifty artillery pieces that were dispatched here to attack in groups began to burst into anger.

  "Boom boom boom!"

  There was no unnecessary nonsense, and there was no hypocritical negotiation. One hundred and fifty large and small artillery pieces, without any reason, slammed into the east wall of Qingzhou Fucheng.

  Wow! Countless gravels are flying around, wreaking havoc everywhere.

  "Ahhh!"

  The shrill screams continued unabated.

  Being hit by artillery is not a good feeling, and it is directly smashed into minced meat by artillery shells! The smashed masonry and stone arouse scattered gravel, and its lethality is not low. A small stone can be used to kill people Heavy hit.

  Horrible, terrifying, earth-shattering, earth-shattering.

  Just one round of artillery bombardment almost terrified the soldiers and civilians on the east wall of the city and even in the city! Feilu reminds you: three things to read: collect, recommend, and divide

Chapter [-]: Boom into ruins and enter the city

  Artillery, especially live ammunition artillery, when it's not on a scale, it's just the sound is scarier, and the lethality is just that, it's not scary at all.

  But once the number of artillery pieces increases and the scale becomes large, it will focus fire on a target, and the effect will be that the sky and the earth are torn apart and the earth shakes, which is not an exaggeration at all.
