Heavy artillery shells fell on the top of the city, causing a lot of damage in an instant.

However, unlike the shoddy construction of the small city, the city wall of Fucheng is still relatively thick. After a wave of bombardment, the edges of the city wall collapsed, but the inside was still strong.

Su Yuan looked with a telescope from a distance, and he found that there were no soldiers on the city wall. It could be seen that the enemy was already on guard. Knowing that the Bei'an Army's artillery was powerful, they hid in advance.

Zhou Shu beside him also noticed this and suggested to him: "Should we take the opportunity to let General Li and General Zhao climb the city wall?"

The enemy troops were suppressed by heavy artillery and did not dare to show their heads. It was indeed a good opportunity to get closer and climb the city wall.

But Su Yuan was worried.

"Let's take another look. After all, this is the city where Shi Ming is located. There are many soldiers and experts in the city. It may be dangerous to go up hastily."

"Yeah." Zhou Shu nodded.

She knew that Su Yuan cared very much about the lives of his generals and soldiers, and would rarely resort to dangerous tactics.

"How many heavy artillery shells are there?" Su Yuan asked.

At this time Xun or came out from behind and gave the answer: "There are thirty more."

thirty……

Su Yuan thought it was a pity. It would be great if these heavy artillery shells were "summoned objects", so that he could put as many as he wanted in the weapon talisman.

That way there is no need for other fighting methods, an "infinite bombardment" is enough.

"Lord, do you want to use it sparingly?"

"No need." Su Yuandao, "It doesn't matter if we use them up. Our vanguard's mission is just to capture Haizhou. We will wait until General Qi arrives before advancing eastward."

Su Yuan's thousand men all arrived in Xuanwu without moving a single boat. The fleet, as well as more equipment and materials, will all arrive with Qi Jiguang.

Only then, after all resources have been integrated, will Su Yuan head east to Haizhou and continue his journey of unification.

At present, only this city in Haizhou is more difficult to attack, and the others are not to mention. It doesn't matter if you use up all the artillery shells here.

After retreating ten thousand steps, Su Yuan could still summon Xuanwu. Its "mouth cannon" was much more powerful than the heavy cannon.

He doesn't call now simply because he doesn't want to harm too many civilian lives.

The Xuanwu cannon can only hit the city wall, but the Xuanwu cannon is expected to destroy the city wall and the houses of many people in the city with one blast.

Unless his own side will be harmed, Su Yuan will not kill the people easily. This is also the principle he has always adhered to. Only those people who try to attack the Bei'an Army will let the Bei'an Army fight back.

And for those who don't attack, no matter how much they curse in their hearts, he won't care.

Soon, another twenty rounds of heavy artillery came down.

Almost all of the outer city walls have collapsed, and the inner walls have also suffered a certain degree of damage.

There were still ten artillery shells left. In case they were needed urgently, Su Yuan asked the artillerymen to temporarily stop firing.

As soon as he stopped here, Shi Ming, who was hiding in the fortress, saw that the bombardment stopped and immediately sent someone to investigate.

The reconnaissance soldier climbed up the city wall and looked at the situation on the Bei'an Army's side from a distance. It was so far away that he couldn't see clearly, but he still went back to report that the Bei'an Army seemed to have run out of artillery shells.

Shi Ming heard this and thought that the opportunity had come.

He named several generals and asked them to attack together.

"Fellow Tang Sect righteous men, please do your best!"

"We will go to the battlefield together."

Tang Ming said this, but he didn't have any desperate thoughts in his heart.

He had no grudges against the Bei'an Army, so he really couldn't commit the crime of working for Shi Ming, let alone risking his life for his enemy Tang Lin.

After receiving the order, several generals immediately left the fortress to reorganize their troops. Nearly ten thousand well-equipped soldiers left the city carrying weapons soaked in venom.

This was only the first wave, followed immediately by the second wave, with another nearly 10,000 people.

It's just that the equipment of the next wave is much worse. Most of them are farmers recruited from the private sector. And their task is to share the pressure of the main army and attract the attention of the Bei'an Army.

Or to be more precise, Shi Ming wants these people to be cannon fodder.

He had to deal with the thousand-man Bei'an Army. Whether it was for the sake of the overall situation or for his own face, he couldn't wait.

When the Bei'an Army saw a large number of Haizhou soldiers leaving the city, they also changed their array.

After Su Yuan discovered that the enemy's troops exceeded ten thousand, he knew that Shi Ming wanted to rely on his superior strength to devour him.

This is naturally fanciful. In the past, many enemies of Su Yuan have revealed two truths.

One is that the numerical advantage is sometimes useless, and quality is more important.

The other is that even if Su Yuan's soldiers are not superior in quality, they will not be small in quantity.

If Su Yuan wanted to, he could now use the soldier talisman to summon soldiers whose numbers would overwhelm the Haizhou soldiers.

But he didn't call because there was no need.

Li Yuanba can handle these people with ten thousand enemies, not to mention Zhao Yun and others.

He looked at the martial arts masters and saw that they had no clue on their faces. Instead, they were all gearing up and looking eager to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds.

Along the way, there were not many opportunities for people to take action. Most of the battles were either solved with long-range cannons or muskets. Or Li Yuanba went up and hammered... Others had almost no chance to make contributions.

Only by giving everyone a sense of participation can we mobilize their enthusiasm.

"Let's all come together," Su Yuandao said.

After he finished speaking, everyone took the initiative to greet the Haizhou soldiers without waiting for them to approach.

As the strongest men, Li Yuanba and Zhao Yun naturally took on the responsibility of opening the way. The two of them rode horses and rushed to the front. When they approached, the Haizhou Army immediately fired arrows.

Naturally, these missing arrows would not cause any harm to the two of them, but Zhao Yun had a sharp eye and grabbed a missing arrow with one hand. Upon closer inspection, the color of the arrow was obviously wrong.

"The arrow is poisonous!"

He shouted loudly to remind everyone in the Bei'an Army that he was releasing his true energy. He rushed into the crowd with one shot and stabbed dozens of people to death in the blink of an eye.

With Zhao Yun's reminder, everyone else was even more careful. Especially those martial arts masters who could not ignore the missed arrow attacks. They were careful to protect themselves before going to kill the enemy.

When the Haizhou Corps saw the Bei'an Army taking the initiative to charge and kill them, they thought these people were out of their minds. Why would there be such a small number of people? But once the fight started, they discovered that although they were few in number, they were all strong.

They couldn't handle Zhao Yun and Li Yuanba alone. These two men were running rampant among the crowd, killing people like crazy, which was horrifying.

Especially the white-robed Zhao Yun, he had a stronger purpose than Li Yuanba. He didn't just kill the soldiers, but went after the generals specifically.

Regardless of whether he is a young general or a general, as long as Zhao Yun finds one, he will immediately burst out his true energy and rush over to kill the person! As soon as the general dies, the soldiers around him will immediately be in chaos, causing a local collapse.

Although the army of ten thousand people is large, if it collapses piece by piece, it will soon trigger a chain reaction and cause the entire army to collapse.

The disciples of the Tang Sect who were also in the crowd could see the terror of Zhao Yun and Li Yuanba. As martial arts practitioners, they could tell at a glance that Zhao Yun was a master or above, and Li Yuanba was even more unable to judge.

Most of the disciples who came to support them were in the innate realm. How could they dare to fight with the masters? They would never dare to get close. They would only dare to use some hidden weapons to attack from a distance.

Several Tang Sect disciples secretly aimed at Zhao Yun and fired poisonous needles. As soon as the poisonous needle flew out, Zhao Yun glanced in this direction as if he was feeling something.

This sight immediately frightened these Tang Sect disciples out of their wits and they quickly ran away.

"Where to go!"

As soon as Zhao Yun noticed a few people, he strode towards them. The true energy shield on his body broke the poisonous needle. When he came to the few people, he pierced them both with his spear.

"Senior, have mercy on me!"

"snort!"

Zhao Yun ignored the other man's plea for mercy and struck out at his heavenly spirit with one palm. The man's skull and mask were shattered, and he died instantly.

At the rear of the melee, Su Yuan naturally did not participate in the battle. His main goal was to switch between Li Yuanba and Zhao Yun. At this time, he happened to see Zhao Yun killing several Tang Sect disciples wearing masks.

"That half-face mask...is it from the Tang Sect?"

Su Yuan knew that the standard attire of Tang Sect disciples was Tsing Yi, deerskin gloves, and a half-face mask.

Now he took a closer look and found that apart from the few people killed by Zhao Yun with the power of thunder, there were also some Tang Sect disciples mixed in with the Haizhou Corps.

Why did the disciples of the Tang Sect come to join the war? Was it Tang Lin’s order?

Su Yuan thought.

Tang Lin thinks that I will deal with him sooner or later, so he simply joins the war in advance and creates trouble for me? It is possible.

I'm just not sure whether these Tang Sect disciples are Tang Lin's lackeys or people who were deceived by him.

Originally, Su Yuan wouldn't care about this, but he had a little friendship with a member of the Tang clan, that is, Tang Ziyu...

As soon as he thought about it, he issued orders to Zhao Yun remotely through the military talisman.

Zhao Yun, who was in the enemy formation, immediately jumped up and used his true energy to spread his voice to the entire battlefield.

"People from the Tang Sect! Listen carefully, Tang Ziyu is a friend of our Bei'an Army. If you stop now and withdraw from the battlefield, we can temporarily spare your life. Otherwise, we will kill you without mercy!"

"What?!"

"The missing eldest lady went to Bei'an Army?!"

"How can this be……"

The disciples of the Tang Sect in the military formation were greatly shocked when they heard this. Tang Ming even trembled all over and looked happy.

One of the reasons why he worked for Tang Lin was that Tang Lin threatened him with Tang Ziyu. He was not sure whether the eldest lady Tang Ziyu was in Tang Lin's hands, so he could only compromise temporarily.

Now listen to what the Bei'an Army general said, the eldest lady is not in Tang Lin's hands, but in the Bei'an Army?

Tang Ming didn't think this was a lie. He had collected a lot of information about the Bei'an Army before. He knew that this army, or rather the leader of the army, the prince named Su Yuan, didn't like or disdain to deceive others.

He almost immediately made the decision to follow Zhao Yun's instructions and withdraw from the battlefield as soon as he became short.

When several Tang Sect disciples who were responsible for keeping an eye on him saw this, they immediately shouted angrily: "I know you still have evil intentions! You must die!"

Tang Ming sneered: "Do you want to do it? Come on, let me clean up the Tang Sect!"

The melee continued.

Although the Bei'an Army has a small number of people, because the unit's combat effectiveness is extremely high, it can actually overwhelm tens of thousands of enemy troops.

But after all, tens of thousands of people could not be defeated so quickly, and Su Yuan gradually lost patience. Not wanting to waste any more time, he used the weapon talisman. In an instant, the necromancers appeared and began to summon skeleton soldiers to fight.

The Jiangnan soldiers had never seen a skeleton soldier before, and they were a little bit discouraged by Li Yuanba and Zhao Yun. Now they completely collapsed when they saw this weird and terrifying creation.
