Chapter 908

All night, the defenders on the fort stayed up all night with fear.

But unexpectedly, the Ming army did not launch a night attack at all. Even when the defenders were slept and forced themselves to keep their energy, the Ming army started to shout and swaggered to sleep.

They looked down on these Japanese soldiers from the bottom of their hearts.

Of course, this confidence is not arrogance, but comes from confidence in one's own strength. Moreover, when they were resting, the artillery soldiers were not idle.

Thousands of artillery soldiers worked hard all night and finally transported six advanced 12-year-old siege artillery to the beach and deployed the launching position.

The position was five miles away from the Shijian Fort. Such a long distance was enough to ensure that Jiannu could only passively be beaten there with a smoothbore cannon.

While the artillerymen were preparing for the artillery bombardment, they had already arrived at Liangshan on the shore and stood on the hills and looked at the battlefield. His expression seemed very calm. Occasionally, he would turn his eyes to his own positions.

The army that had completed landing last night had completed the assembly on land.

A total of 13,000 troops!

It seems that the troops are not strong enough, and it can even be described as "weak".

But all these three thousand troops are the Ming army without exception!

No, it should be said that it is the Han army. They are now the three guards of the King of Ying’s palace. Although many of them are from the Ming army or from military households in the garrison, they are now the Han army!

Han army!

This is the unified title of all the armies of the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming army belonged to the Ming Dynasty.

But the Han army... belonged to the Xia!

The princes are all the Xia, and all the Xia is Han!

The Han army is invincible!

Over the past years, the boys of Zhuxia have proved this with their barbarian heads again and again, and now, he will prove this on this land.

The rising sun is like fire and the remaining clouds are like blood. Just below the dense clouds, the soldiers lined up in neat queues to make final preparations for the attack. A faint aura emanated from the square formation, which is an unrivaled aura, which comes from inner confidence.

Such momentum echoes between heaven and earth, and only faces him!

"This is what is called the so-called powerful!

Looking at Ming Jun from the telescope, Yasuda suddenly said to himself.

Staring at Ming Jun lined up, a thought and fear suddenly emerged in his heart. Where did this fear come from?

It's a deep fear!

This fear is the fear caused by the Celestial Empire to the hearts of the Japanese for thousands of years. This fear has long penetrated into his bones and blood. Even if he is now with a rat-tail of money, even if he speaks "Tang language", it has never changed.

After all, this fear was already in their blood a thousand years ago...

At this moment, he heard thunder coming from a distance at the same time. At this moment, Zai Tian even had an illusion that the earth seemed to be trembling inexplicably.

The Ming army fired a cannon!

The gunners of the Han army did fire!

Unlike before, this time the siege cannons were fired. The sound of the six siege cannons can be described as earth-shaking. The amazing recoil force made the entire gun stand violently hit the sleepers that were one meter thick underground. Fortunately, there were such multi-layer sleepers to absorb the recoil, otherwise these siege cannons would probably be trapped in the land.

Amid the deafening sound of artillery, the cannon camp was covered with thick smoke. The sharp iron bullet weighing hundreds of pounds roared out of the smoke and rushed towards the city of Shijian's fortress. As it flew through the air, it made a shocking roar. The sound was a bit sharp, but a little dull, just like... a dragon roaring, an angry dragon roaring in the sky, as if it was about to tear the sky.

Finally, amid the shocking roar, a heavy iron bomb accurately hit the fort. With a "boom", the solid stone city wall seemed to be hit by a giant hammer, and countless gravels suddenly collapsed. The once very strong city wall was penetrated instantly.

The infantry soldiers of the Japanese camp entrenched under the city wall were immediately injured. Amid the screams of horror, they did not notice the white smoke coming out of the tail of the shell. Suddenly, a violent explosion exploded in the passage, and the stone passage was instantly opened. At the moment the passage collapsed, the people in it were buried under the gravel regardless of life or death.

The seemingly solid fortress became vulnerable in front of the siege cannons. Even if there were only six siege cannons, it easily tore apart the fortress like a giant hammer, and the psychological blow to the Japanese soldiers in the fortress was simply devastating.

In the face of such powerful siege cannons, the so-called fortress becomes like tofu, and as long as the people in it feel very stressed.

Failure is just a matter of time.

Of course, the siege cannon is not perfect either. It only has a simple pitching device and does not even have a direction adjustment device. Fortunately, this is a siege battle, and there is no need to change the shooting direction. It only needs to aim at the fortress and shelling.

In addition to loading shells, you just need to adjust the shooting angle occasionally.

After a round of artillery fire, the artillery re-targeted again.

It was bombarded, and it was through such adjustments that they achieved a coverage blow to this fortress!

An iron cannonball weighing 100 kilograms smashed the guard wall of the fortress hard, and a group of Japanese soldiers were buried alive in the belt fortress in the dust.

In the violent explosion, many Japanese soldiers were beaten into pieces of minced meat on the spot. In the flying fog of blood, the soil was filled with fragmented limbs.

Only a few lucky people can survive it, but for them, death is only a matter of time. Some people were blown from the top of the fortress to the ground. Although they seemed to be uninjured, they fell from high altitude and were thrown to the ground by being broken from a distance. They crawled on the ground in pain, making heart-wrenching wails, scaring the Japanese soldiers around them all pale.

"Brush the cannon!"

After the successive rounds of artillery fire, the gunmen shouted, and the artillery stuffed the cannon brush into the iron bucket and then used a wet wool brush to clean the cannon chamber. Then, a sound of water vapor came out, and the air came out.

If the cannon is not cooled down at this time, it is very likely that the temperature of the cannon barrel will be too high and the gunpowder will be accidentally ignited.

Of course, another factor is gunpowder residue. I want to sincerely influence the rate of fire and accuracy of the cannon. After cleaning the cannon chamber, the loader filled in a new launching medicine bag. At the same time, the two gunners carried the shells and sent the shells into the chamber. Then they aimed and fired again.

When the siege cannons were there, towards the shells that were about to be scattered, on another artillery position in the distance, the gunners were also preparing. They fired not ordinary artillery, but famous whirlwind rockets.

This rocket's first time shows its power was Jiannu. Jiannu has a deep understanding of his power.

Amid the sharp whistling sound, the artillery positions were covered with thick smoke, and hundreds of whirlwind rockets rose into the air.

In fact, this turret is just a little bigger, and under such a double blow, it quickly became shaky.

Suddenly, with a loud noise, a wall suddenly collapsed. Everyone's faces changed and the city was broken!
