"General, our gunners have already escaped, and no one will fire any more." The personal soldiers shouted at Sun Youming.

Because the sound of cannons kept ringing, he didn't speak loudly because he was afraid that Sun Youming would not hear clearly.

"These bastards who are afraid of death are about to chop off their heads." Sun Youming shouted in anger when he heard the gunners under his hands ran away.

He placed his high hopes on those tiger squatting cannons.

The personal soldiers pulled Sun Youming's wrist and shouted: "General, retreat quickly. If you continue to stay, you will only become a target for tiger thieves. It is important to retreat from the fort wall to protect yourself."

He advised Sun Youming to retreat from the fort wall. After all, the Lord General did not retreat. It was difficult for them to be personal soldiers to leave the Lord General and run away from his own life.

"I will not leave, I will stay here and kill the thief with my own hands." Sun Youming said, biting his back teeth.

After the battle began, everything was different from what he expected. Now he was beaten and couldn't get it back. He had long since lost the idea of ​​the beginning.

However, he still had a surprise soldier. He believed that as long as he held the Dune Castle and waited for the surprise soldier he sent to the sea to capture the tiger thief's ship, he would definitely win the final victory.

At this time, retreating from the fort wall is equivalent to giving up the last layer of defense of the fort.

Only by sticking here can he make other officers and soldiers insist on guarding the fort wall, otherwise once he retreats, other officers and soldiers will only retreat faster.

This is a common problem of the Ming army, and he knew it very well, so even though he knew that it was dangerous, he had to grit his teeth and stay.

When Sun Youming's personal soldiers saw that his general would not leave, they could only stay with their teeth.

As for the other officers and soldiers on the fort wall, they couldn't walk anymore because the horse road below the fort wall was blocked by Sun Youming's personal soldiers, so they did not give other officers and soldiers a chance to escape.

After the cannon outside the fort lasted for several rounds, it finally stopped, and the people on the fort wall were finally able to take a breath.

Zhao Wu took out his monocular lens and looked at the fort wall.

Through the monoculars, he found that there were still shaking officers and soldiers on the fort wall. The few rounds of artillery bombardment did not overwhelm the officers and soldiers guarding the fort.

And the will of these officers and soldiers was also more tenacious than he expected at the beginning.

"There are still people above the camp. According to the subordinates, they will continue to shoot the fuck. I don't believe these officers and soldiers are not afraid." The captain of the Thousand People Team beside him said.

He also noticed the situation on the fort wall through a monocular telescope.

Zhao Wu pursed his lips and thought for a while, then said to the messenger on one side: "Go and find the captain of the artillery team for me."

The messenger ran to find someone.

Soon, the captain of the artillery was brought back.

Zhao Wu did not say nonsense and asked directly: "If you were asked to use cannons to open the gate of the Ming army fortress, can you do it?"

"As long as there is no mud and sand behind the gate, my subordinates are sure that two cannons will smash the enemy's gate." The artillery captain promised loudly.

He had long observed the gate of the military fort in front of him, which was completely a big wooden door, so he had the confidence to bombard it with a cannon.

Zhao Wudao: "Then go and blast open their doors, and then shoot me at the officers and soldiers on the fort walls. I want to use cannons to hit them with fear of being beaten."

"Yes." The captain of the artillery team responded, turned around and ran back to the artillery position.

The artillery positions were set in front of the army.

The captain of the artillery team who returned to the position simply measured the distance from the military fort gate and shouted: "Xing Datu, come here for me."

Along with his screams, a man came to him.

The captain of the artillery team said to the man: "Push me your two four-pound cannons forward fifty steps, put the flat cannon to aim at the gate of the military fort, and blow it open for me."

"Yes." Xing Datu agreed loudly, turned around and took his members of the cannon to move the cannon.

Two four-pound cannons were pushed to the designated position by Xing Datu and the members of the gun team.

After adjusting the angle of the muzzle, the gunners began to load and ignite.

Boom! Boom!

Two dull sounds of cannons rang out, and then two thuds were heard.

The gate of the military fort was directly smashed by two cannons.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The small Fran machine cannon behind also sounded, but the target of the shelling was no longer the gate of the military fort, but the officers and soldiers on the fort wall.

The military fort gate is broken, and the situation inside can be seen clearly outside.

However, because of the constant drop of cannons into the fort, I saw from outside the fort that the situation inside the fort was empty, with only a few corpses on the ground.

Zhao Wu, behind the artillery position, held a monocular lens in his hand and observed the situation on the fort wall.

Although the gate of the military fort had been broken by shelling, he was not in a hurry to lead his troops into the fort. He had enough gunpowder and cannons to waste with the officers and soldiers.

He was preparing to use artillery to destroy the officers and soldiers to resist for the last minute, and led his troops to march into the fort.

The advantage lies with his own side, so he is not in a hurry at all.

On the other hand, the officers and soldiers guarding the fort are different.

Although Sun Youming had already let his personal soldiers block the only horse road leaving the fort wall, with the continuous shelling outside, some officers and soldiers guarding the fort began to attack the horse road.

Fortunately, the personal soldiers guarding the horse road usually eat well and are strong and exercise their martial arts when they are free. However, ordinary officers and soldiers are one step short of their meals, and they often have poor food. In addition, they have many chores and coolies in their daily lives, so their physical fitness is naturally not as good as those of the personal soldiers around the general.

The leaders of several officers and soldiers who wanted to escape from the horse road to the fort wall were killed, and the remaining officers and soldiers on the fort wall became much more honest.

As the tiger flag was bombarded, more and more casualties were killed and injured. Even Sun Youming's personal soldiers were hit by cannons and died on the spot under the shelling.

Sun Youming's personal soldiers also persuaded him to temporarily avoid giving in and leave the fort wall several times.

Unfortunately, Sun Youming had his own plans and refused to leave.

But the other officers and soldiers on the fort walls are different. They have changed from refugees fleeing to the island to soldiers just to be able to have a meal or make their families live a better life.

When they encounter slave thieves, they don’t mind working for the Ming Dynasty.

But now they are only beaten but cannot fight back. Sun Youming's deterrence in their hearts is gradually wiped out.

Finally, the officers and soldiers on the fort wall could no longer bear the powerlessness without fighting back, and began to attack the horse road again, wanting to escape from the fort wall through the horse road.

This time is different from the previous time when only a few people attacked the horse road guarded by the personal soldiers.

In order to survive, the officers and soldiers on the fort wall burst out with strength and completely ignored their lives.

Just after Sun Youming's personal soldiers slashed and slashed several officers and soldiers approaching, they were soon killed by other officers and soldiers behind them.

"Go and stop them, you all go." Sun Youming was unwilling to let these officers and soldiers escape, and urged their personal soldiers to stop the officers and soldiers who were escaping down the fort wall along the horse road.
