"Bang!"

The rattan shield could not stop the Ming army's bullets. Minister Zhao fell slowly as if struck by lightning, and his consciousness slowly dissipated.

"Father, mother, second brother, and little sister, I'm here to reunite with you!"

??

The Ming army's guns retreated, and now what appeared in front of Sun Kewang was a "city" and a "car city".

Sun Kewang's heart was bleeding. Even though he used the carriage and set up a sparse formation, the wave of attacks just now still cost him more than 7,000 people.

He also has artillery, one hundred and thirty squatting tiger cannons, and twenty thousand-pound Fran machine cannons. However, they have been consumed by long-term operations and there is no stable base to provide them. Therefore, he does not have many artillery shells in his hands.

These shells should be used at critical moments. For example, now.

The Ming army in the "city" was not idle and was assembling the fort.

The Ming army is now fighting in the "city", surrounded by "city walls" more than two meters high, so the artillery must be raised to the fort to avoid accidentally killing its own troops.

Two hundred double-box cars are being spliced ​​together. This kind of double-box car is almost the same as the side-box car, except that it has one more wooden board than the side-box car. It is filled with grain bags. It is a grain transport truck in peacetime and a fort in wartime.

Like sidecars, the shafts of the cars had hooks. The Ming army hooked every five cars together and spliced ​​wooden boards on the roofs of each car. One hundred and fifty cars formed thirty forts. Each fort

There are ten tiger squatting cannons.

The left and right wings have their own military formations. Zhu Hengjia did not arrange forts on the left and right sides. Instead, he arranged twenty forts and two hundred squatting tiger cannons in the front; he arranged ten forts and one hundred squatting tiger cannons in the back.

There are another fifty vehicles, each with a 1,000-pound Fran machine gun installed on the roof. Because the gun body is heavy and takes a long time to install, it is not in use for the time being.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

With loud noises one after another, the Daxi Army suddenly opened fire.

The fighting was so fierce in the front that the artillery of the Daxi Army did not move, which gave the Ming army the illusion that the Daxi Army had no artillery.

Many soldiers had no time to squat down and raise their shields before they were knocked down by artillery fire.

One round after another, artillery shells fell on the wooden planks of the sidecars. The wooden planks could not block the bombardment of the artillery shells, and the "Car City" was blasted with gaps one after another.

"Don't panic, aim and shoot!"

Yu Zhong commanded his men. He commanded a sidecar with twenty-five people per car, twelve gunners, eight gunners, and four sword and shield men. The gunners had been moved to the fort, and now there were

He and his sixteen subordinates.

Under his command, his men fired at the Western troops outside through the shooting holes, shooting down one enemy after another.

There is no need for gunners to worry about charging. Behind the twelve gunners from the vehicle and artillery battalion, there are twelve gunners from the infantry battalion, who are responsible for loading the gunners in the first row.

Behind the Ming army's chariot city, there was an infantry battalion on each side, lined up with countless mandarin duck formations, standing guard.

In the middle is the cavalry battalion, a thousand of Zhu Hengjia's personal guards, and 800 heavy armored infantry. These heavy armored infantry are designed to deal with the enemy's heavy armored infantry that breaks into the formation. They are small in number and are all elite.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The Ming Army's Crouching Tiger Artillery reacted and began to counterattack the Western Army's artillery.

The Ming army had a lot of artillery and quickly suppressed the Western artillery, and still had enough energy to bombard the Western infantry outside the city.

After shrinking into a small city, the Ming army only had 1,800 muskets on each side facing the Western Army. However, because it was denser, the damage to the Western Army was even greater.

Countless Western troops were knocked down by artillery and shot down by bullets.

??

Sun Kewang came to the twenty thousand-jin Fran cannons and said to Wang Ziqi, the commander of the artillery camp: "Have you seen the Ming army's Panlong banner? Blow it down for me."

Zhu Hengjia's command platform is one and a half miles away from the Western Army's artillery position. The Crouching Tiger cannon can't shoot that far, but the Thousand Jin Franco machine can.

"Commander, just watch it!"

Zhu Hengjia was on the command platform with two bachelors, observing the battle situation, when suddenly one shell after another exploded near the command vehicle.

"The Western thieves actually have heavy artillery that can shoot far!"

Zhu Hengjia was shocked.

"Please monitor the situation and move the command vehicle back!" The subordinate requested.

"No!"

Zhu Hengjia flatly refused. Now is the critical stage of the confrontation between the two armies. If Gu Yi retreats, the morale of the army will be chaotic.

"Where is the lonely heavy artillery? Let them quickly counterattack the enemy's fort."

Fortunately, the Qianjin Fran machine is a breech-loaded gun, so even if it is equipped with a sight, it is not easy to shoot accurately.

Multiple shells landed next to Zhu Hengjia, but they just missed.

"Bodhisattva bless you!" Zhu Hengjia lowered his head and muttered to himself.

The Ming Army's heavy artillery vehicles were finally installed, suppressing the Western Army's heavy artillery in time, and the command post turned the corner.

??

"The whole army attacks!"

Sun Kewang ordered a general attack and ordered the flag officer to move the Chinese army forward.

"Kill!"

The soldiers of the Western Army opened fire. They pushed away the antlers in front of the sidecars, moved away the horse rifles, and rushed in from the gaps between the vehicles or from the gaps blasted by the cannons.

"Kill!"

The Ming infantry battalion behind the carriage formed a mandarin duck formation to fight, and cut down the Western troops who broke in through the gap one by one.

At this time, some gunmen of the Ming army put down their fire cannons, took off the round shield from their backs with their left hand, and pulled out their sabers with their right hands, changing from gunmen to sword-and-shieldmen.

A group of five people, with two swordsmen and shieldmen in front slashing, two spearmen stabbing behind, and a gunman in the middle to shoot at the enemy.

"Death!"

A Daxi thief jumped into Yu Zhong's sidecar from the gap and chopped off the head of a Ming army gunman with a knife, causing blood to fly.

"Kill!"

Yu Zhonghu roared, used a round shield with his left hand to hold the Daxi Thief's knife, and stabbed the Daxi Thief's abdomen with his waist knife in his right hand.

"Ah!"

The Daxi thief screamed and got out of the car.

Yu Zhong was eager to kill, so he jumped out of the car and chopped down two Daxi thieves who were about to board the car.

Suddenly, a spear stabbed his throat.
