"Yes, the Tiger and Leopard Army can dig trenches, and we can dig trenches too..." A musketman commander shouted loudly with a hint of excitement.

Hearing this, Wu Jingtian's eyes also shot out two rays of light.

A face that was still full of despair just now followed, with a glimmer of hope. He ordered to the military advisor with anticipation: "Military advisor, tell me... As long as I can stop the Tiger and Leopard Army from breaking the city, I can agree to any method..."

The military advisor nodded and spoke without hesitation: "The general... the student's idea was to rush out of the city gate under the cover of artillery... and dig a trench with a depth of more than five feet and a width of one battle along the line of the trench..."

"As long as we dare to dig out this trench before the Tiger and Leopard Army, and ambush thousands of musketeers and spearmen in the trench. Even if the trench that the Tiger and Leopard Army are digging extends to the corner of the city wall, it will be destroyed by our ambush troops..."

Do it as soon as you say...

Under the command of the military advisor and the supervision of Wu Jingtian, a thousand rebels who had not yet learned to operate muskets and artillery had just entered the city for less than three days. Each of them held a shovel and quickly gathered at the gate of the city.

Like the tactic just now, dozens of rebels were used as bait to attract the mortars of the Tiger and Leopard Army to fire. The remaining rebels retracted back into the city like turtles, waiting quietly for the end of the shelling...

Because of the continuous artillery bombardment just now, dozens of artillery fired only four or five flowering bullets at the city gate, and the dark gun barrels were burned red again. In a helpless situation, these mortars had to stop the artillery bombardment and cool down the mortar barrels.

In an instant, the flowering bullet shot towards the city gate was reduced from dozens of shots to five or six shots.

The traitors who had been guarding the city gate did not miss this opportunity. Amid the roars of their respective leaders, it was like a flood breaking the dike. They held the shovel and rushed out of the city gate quickly...

A thousand rebels successfully rushed out of the city gate and the smoke of gunpowder were less than 700 people left.

Facing the figure of traitors that had appeared at the city gate, more than a thousand tiger and leopard armies hidden in the trench were quickly aimed at the target, and then pulled the musket trigger without hesitation...

"Baopao..." A string of crisp gunfire sounded on the battlefield, and lead bullets from all directions seemed to have eyes, flying towards the city gate at the same time...

Just now, more than 600 rebels who had not yet dissipated their expressions after the disaster had not even dissipated. They were hit by the whistling lead bullet. Then, with a muffled groan and a desperate expression before death, they fell heavily in a pool of blood.

At a critical moment, the traitor commander with rich combat experience spoke and shouted loudly to his subordinates.

"Let's go down, you'll go down... If you don't want to die immediately, you'll climb to the corner of the city wall and dig a trench for me."

Amid the gunfire, more than 500 traitors who instantly dropped by more than 100 people were like catching a life-saving straw in despair and lying on the ground desperately. Then, under the personal demonstration of the commander, he crawled towards the foot of the city walls on both sides of the city gate little by little.

Faced with the sudden changes of the traitors, the Tiger and Leopard Army, which suddenly lost their shooting target, had to stop shooting without any meaning. Then, they quietly looked at the remnants of the traitors a hundred steps away, wanting to see what these traitors wanted to do.

Under the gaze of more than a thousand tiger and leopard army, the traitor who had climbed to the foot of the city wall quickly picked up the shovel and began to dig.

Because all the soil dug out by the traitors was piled up against the Tiger and Leopard Army, just half an hour passed, a one-foot-high earth wall appeared in front of the Tiger and Leopard Army.

The traitor who was lying on the ground for digging hard can already be squatted down to dig.

As the traitors dig faster and faster, the earth walls piled in front of the Tiger and Leopard Army also became higher and higher. The trench under the feet of the traitors also became deeper and deeper...

At this time, if you don’t know the purpose of the traitor rushing out of the county town, then the general Zhou Yuhong will be useless.

The face, which was smiling just now because his subordinates successfully eliminated thousands of rebels, has been seriously replaced at this moment.

After slamming his clenched fist against the earth wall in front of him, he said to himself: "You must never let the trench of the trench continue to be dug. Otherwise, the traffic trench used by us to cover the engineers will not be able to extend to the corner of the city wall... Not only that, the trench can also use this trench to destroy our offensive troops in large quantities..."

After saying that, he directly ordered the deputy general: "Where is the artillery.... He ordered the artillery to shoot at the front line of the city wall immediately, and to kill all the traitors who left the city-..."

"The artillery in the hands of the traitors can only be shot directly, and the shells shot are also flying in a straight line, at will. Their shells cannot harm our soldiers hidden in the trench. However, our shells run in curved shooting, and the shells shot are flying in curved lines, falling from the sky to kill the enemy."

"So, the flowering bullets shot from the mortar can easily fall into the trench that the trench is digging, destroying the trench in the trench... why are you still standing there? Go and convey your general order immediately... "

The deputy general did not leave immediately, but reported helplessly: "General, the mortar barrels of the Heavy Artillery Battalion have been red, and there are not many supporting flowering bullets. Even if they are asked to shoot at the front line of the city wall, with the current capabilities of the Heavy Artillery Battalion, there is no way to eliminate them..."

Zhou Yuhong was stunned and continued to shout: "The heavy mortars of the Heavy Artillery Battalion cannot be used, so he will use the medium mortars equipped by each regiment and the light mortars equipped by each battalion to participate in the battle..."

"The siege battle has been fighting for so long. These two types of artillery have not yet shot out even a single flowering bullet. They still have a lot of shell reserves, enough to eliminate the traitors on the front line of the city wall..."

Hearing this, the deputy general's eyes lit up, and he shouted: "The last general takes the order..."

However, before he finished speaking, a trace of worry appeared on his face again and continued to ask Zhou Yuhong: "General, there is still a problem here..."

"The range of medium-sized mortars and light mortars is limited. If the artillery position is rebuilt according to the two artillery ranges, these two artillery will be within the effective range of the treacherous Folang machine artillery... So, please indicate the specific location of the artillery position..."

Hearing this, Zhou Yuhong's brows also frowned...

Just as he was in deep thought, the trench five feet wide under his feet suddenly came into view.

In an instant, a sly smile flashed from the corner of Zhou Yuhong's mouth.

He continued to order to the deputy general in front of him: "Trench, order the artillery to build artillery positions in the trench we just dug out. If the trench is too narrow, draw a musket regiment from behind and continue to widen and deepen the trench..."

In the Tiger and Leopard Army, as mortars were installed in large numbers, each musket regiment was equipped with a medium-sized mortar team, that is, nine medium-sized mortars.

As for the musket battalion, it is equipped with a light mortar platoon with three light mortars….

Therefore, among the 15,000 musketeers commanded by Zhou Yuhong this time, at least nine medium-sized mortar artillery teams and twenty-seven light mortar platoons were equipped, with a total of 170,80 two-caliber mortars...

In addition, for a curved weapon like a mortar, we all know one thing: the closer the shooting distance, the higher the shooting accuracy of the artillery will be.

Therefore, among the more than 100 mortars that have rapidly unfolded on the trench, a round of shells has a hit rate of at least 50%.

In addition, with sufficient ammunition, more than 100 mortars shot out eight rounds of shells into the city wall. There was no sign of traitors digging trenches at the city wall at a hundred steps away.

Not only that, the earth wall that the rebels had worked hard to accumulate in front of the Tiger and Leopard Army was also razed to the ground amid the sound of explosions just now...

The rebel military advisors pondered the strategy of breaking the enemy again, and they destroyed a thousand subordinates.

Faced with this result, all the traitor leaders, including Wu Jingtian, showed a trace of despair from the heart. At this moment, they were helpless and could only watch the several trenches that the Tiger and Leopard Army were digging extending little by little to the corner of the city wall...

Wu Jingtian's face was also covered with a strong expression of despair, but as the head coach of the rebels, he still reacted immediately and quickly returned to his calmness.

Several confidants who followed Wu Jingtian and had been through life and death also reacted and returned to calm.

After all, they are all people who have experienced life and death, so they should have put their own life and death aside...

After feeling the gaze of his subordinates looking at him, Wu Jingtian's face, whose face had returned to calm, first showed a satisfied smile, and then said: "Since we have no way to stop the Tiger and Leopard Army from digging trenches under our noses, then with the Tiger and Leopard Army's sharp firearms, the city wall under our feet cannot be held on..."

"As expected, we cannot achieve the goal of killing and killing the Tiger and Leopard Army through the city wall offensive and defensive battle..."

Just as everyone's faces showed a sad expression, Wu Jingtian's words suddenly changed and continued to shout, his words full of murderous aura.

"Since the city walls cannot achieve our goal, we can only change to another place..."

"So, I decided that after a little resistance from the city wall, all our remaining brothers would hide in the city. Using the houses in the city, we would kill and injure the Tiger and Leopard Army troops into the city little by little..."

"I can say with certainty that as long as the Tiger and Leopard Army conducts, their firearm advantages will disappear... Facing our brothers hiding in every corner of the city, what the Tiger and Leopard Army can do is to fight us closely, and compete with us at home..."
