The attack before dark didn't last long because there were some 'small disagreements' among the Folan robots.
The Folangji soldiers who were attacking from the front refused to attack with all their strength, but forced a group of soldiers from the Garo Empire to rush forward. These soldiers from the Garo Empire were very active in the first two attacks, and they were extremely excited and shouted louder than anyone else.
They are all big. They are thin and withered, like a group of monkeys that have been hungry for three days.
Of course, they also suffered the greatest casualties. Jin Guarei will not be polite to you. Whoever charges the most fiercely will die the most.
So when it came to the third attack, the soldiers of the Jialuo Empire seemed to have lingering fears and refused to rush to the front. Of course, the Falangji people did not allow them to do this, so they forced them to rush forward. As a result, they were beaten by the Ming Dynasty soldiers and horses.
Suddenly the blunderbuss, bows and arrows and the golden melon thunder greeted them, and the Garo people fled back like a tide.
However, the Fulangji soldiers and horses following them did not allow them to escape. Some officers used firearms and weapons and began to kill them to force them to attack. As a result, some Garo people turned against the Fulangji people and fought with them.
stand up.
In the end, the Folangji soldiers used matchlocks to kill a small group of Garo Empire soldiers, thus calming down the chaos.
This small group of Garro Empire soldiers was not large in number, only about two to three hundred. They were all shot and killed on the slope directly in front of the castle. Their corpses were piled up on top of each other, forming a hill.
The Folangji people also suffered dozens of casualties, all of which were killed by angry Garo soldiers. This 'little conflict' between the two sides on the battlefield also dampened the morale of the entire attack.
The leading generals of the Jialuo Empire were very dissatisfied, and the officer corps of the Folangji Kingdom had no choice but to calm down the gaffe, comfort and explain. In the end, the attack ceased after less than half an hour.
At this moment, the sun was setting in the west and the sky was already dark.
The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in the castle were also exhausted. From last night to now, they were highly nervous and in the midst of high-intensity fighting. They were all very tired. Zhang Yanling asked Chen Shiyi to pass on the order and seize the time to eat and sleep for a while to avoid
I'm too tired. The battle will continue, so I can't do it without rest.
Except for the vigilant sentries, all the soldiers were resting on the ground under the castle wall. Many of them snored loudly as soon as they lay down, sleeping extremely soundly. The long battle has made them develop the habit of being able to do anything anytime, anywhere.
They have the habit of falling asleep. As soon as the alarm sounds, they will get up and fight like a vigorous tiger.
Zhang Yanling also took the time to get off the city wall and lie down on a chair in the castle hall with her clothes undressed to rest.
I don't know how long it took, but Zhang Yanling was awakened by a violent roar. The outer wall of the castle seemed to have been hit by something heavy, and a piece of broken stone fell like rain, clattering outside the hall window.
Zhang Yanling was waiting to ask questions when he suddenly heard the sound of a window breaking. A stone ball broke through the window and fell about ten feet in front of Zhang Yanling. The long table was smashed into pieces. Zhang Yanling also fell to the ground.
"My lord, my lord, are you okay? Get out of here quickly." The guards shouted and rushed forward. Zhang Yanling had already gotten up and rushed out of the castle to the open space.
Chen Shiyi's burly figure rushed over in the dim light, shouting loudly: "Master Guo, fuck his grandma, they set up heavy artillery and started bombarding. Several heavy artillery."
Without saying a word, Zhang Yanling climbed onto the wall and followed Chen Shiyi to the west wall. Huo Shijian and others were already here. When they saw Zhang Yanling coming, they all raised their hands and saluted.
"Where?" Zhang Yanling asked.
"There, three streets away. About two or three miles." Huo Shijian pointed to a dark street.
As he spoke, he saw a red light flashing on the street and a loud noise. After several consecutive roars and fires, the sound of stone bullets breaking through the air was heard in the air. Then the outer wall of the castle in the distance behind him
It was the sound of rocks breaking and falling.
It was the heavy artillery that was firing stone bombs. The Francois had prepared the heavy artillery, and they couldn't wait to set it up, and fired at the castle to vent their anger.
Soon after, several more shells came, and the impact point was not the castle wall, but the wall and the ground inside. The stone bullets hit the wall stacks on the wall not far away, breaking the wall stacks and sending stones flying everywhere.
A soldier was hit on the shoulder by a flying stone and cursed in pain.
"Damn it, these guys don't dare to attack. They use cannons to harass them. These cannon fires here and there can easily hurt people." Huo Shijian scolded.
Zhang Yanling originally wanted to say that if they were to smash them, they would be able to collapse the castle and walls even if they were hiding in a blind corner. However, suddenly, a large exploding fireball exploded on top of the city wall not far away. There was a flash of fire.
And smoke mixed with debris flying in all directions.
Fortunately, Zhang Yanling and others knew it was a bomb the moment they saw the fire, and immediately ducked behind the bunker. Then they heard the sound of whooshing, whooshing, and crashing, and several screams came from around them. The three soldiers were unable to escape.
He was injured by fragments. At the explosion site ahead, the city wall was in a mess.
"Fuck grandma, they have explosive shells, and they are testing cannons in front of them." Chen Shiyi cursed loudly.
Zhang Yanling's previous indifferent thoughts disappeared. It turned out that the heavy artillery of the Folangji people was equipped with explosive shells. This was no joke. During the siege, the explosive shells exploded randomly on the wall, and no one could stand on the wall.
The Langji people will attack. These artillery must be dealt with. Otherwise, if we attack the city tomorrow, the castle will be lost.
"We have to find a way to take out their heavy artillery. Otherwise we won't be able to defend it," Zhang Yanling shouted.
"Mr. Guo, I went to pick up these artillery pieces. They don't have many cannons. It should be stable after picking up these few." Chen Shi said.
Huo Shijian said: "I'll go. Why bother General Chen with such a thing?"
Chen Shi waved his hand and said, "You want to play a ball? Grab it from me?"
Zhang Yanling said: "Let Huo Shijian take the people there. Huo Shijian has good skills in flying wings. Brother Chen, you are heavy. There are no enlarged flying wings suitable for you here."
Chen Shiyi said in astonishment: "You want to fly over?"
Zhang Yanling said with a smile: "Of course, the bell tower is so high, and it is downwind, so it will fall from the sky. Huo Shijian, lead twenty brothers to bring extra golden melons, and retreat after destroying the cannon. Don't stay."
Huo Shijian nodded in agreement and took action immediately. The flying wings that had landed before were piled up next to the central castle church. Some were damaged, but there were still more than 20 intact ones. Huo Shijian led 20 soldiers to the top of the bell tower.
Jumping out, more than twenty large birds were soaring in the dark sky. At first, vague shadows could be seen, but soon nothing could be seen.
Zhang Yanling stared at the block where the Fo Lang robots set up artillery. It seemed that after one shot hit the city wall, the other party obtained the data of the scale and angle, but they actually did not fire again. Therefore, it was still dark there.
.
But not long after, there was a burst of fire and the sound of bombing. Zhang Yanling saw figures running on the street through the telescope, and the flames of the Jinguarei explosion came and went. There was a lot of shouting and noise.
"Hahaha, they probably never dreamed that people would fall from the sky and blow up these bastards." Chen Shi smiled and gritted his teeth and cursed.
Zhang Yanling said in a deep voice: "Get ready to meet them. They will be back soon."
Chen Shi hurriedly made preparations and asked people to hang more than twenty ropes to the bottom of the wall. Soon after, a figure flashed at the street entrance, and Huo Shijian rushed back with the people. At the street entrance, the soldiers of Langji were alerted and found someone rushing past.
When they reached the intersection, Huo Shijian and others had already rushed to the base of the wall.
The opponent opened fire, and the guards at the top of the wall fired to suppress it. It was not until Huo Shijian and others were pulled up to the top of the wall that the fire ceased. When the people below saw the ceasefire at the top of the wall, they fired a few shots sporadically and stopped shooting.
Huo Shijian reported to Zhang Yanling with excitement on his face and sweating profusely that they had blown up six heavy artillery pieces with Jingua Lei. The group was so disoriented that they had no idea where the enemy came from.
Zhang Yanling was astonished. The Fo Lang robots had actually brought down six heavy artillery pieces. What would happen if they launched an attack tomorrow? These guys should not be in a hurry to test the cannons, otherwise, if it is broad daylight,
This kind of surprise attack method is completely useless. Flying in the air during the day becomes a living target.
After everything returned to calm, Zhang Yanling no longer felt sleepy. It was already early in the morning, and it would be dawn soon. Zhang Yanling knew that the Folangji did not launch an attack that night, and after dawn, there would be an extremely crazy battle.
attack.
Judging from the actions of the Folangji people in mobilizing heavy artillery, they have no intention of giving up. Although Zhang Yanling is confident in defending the castle, the number of people on the other side is too great, and there are not many Jinguarei left at the moment, which is a huge disaster
Hidden worries.
If we finally enter the defense mode with primitive means, the situation will not be optimistic. In the end, the outer city walls must be abandoned. Defending the central castle is probably the best choice. Because there are few manpower, in order to avoid insufficient manpower and exhaustion, we must shrink
Defensive area.
Zhang Yanling thought for a long time and decided to go see Bishop Arthur. Tomorrow morning, let him go up to the city wall to dissuade the French attack. After all, this man is an important person in the Holy See, so he might be able to succeed.
Anyway, the matter has come to an end, and there is no harm in giving it a try.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yanling got off the castle wall and took a few guards to the church in the center of the castle.
In the church, the candlelight was bright. Arthur and dozens of other Francois officials and family members were detained in the church. At this moment, they were all awakened by the explosion not long ago, and they were all talking quietly in the church in twos and threes.
Zhang Yanling and others came in from the door, and everyone stopped talking. They looked at the group of Orientals who walked in with horrified eyes, filled with murderous intent.
"I'm sorry for disturbing you. I'm here to see Bishop Arthur. Where is he?"
"In...in...the confessional..." A woman stammered, pointing to the small room with candlelight at the end of the church hall. That was yesterday's low-level interpreter.
"Thank you very much. Please come with me, Mrs. Belen, to lead the way for us and act as our translator." Zhang Yanling bowed politely and said.
The woman hurriedly squatted down, bowed, and walked over.
Zhang Yanling waved her hand, indicating to others to help themselves. Then he followed the woman to the side of the pulpit and walked in through a door, which was the confession room.
Bishop Arthur was sitting on a chair, clasping his hands and closing his eyes, speaking in a low voice to a portrait of a shirtless woman holding a fat child on the wall.
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Lord Arthur, unshaven and with a dejected expression, turned his head.
"Dear Duke, why are you here?" Arthur said, stroking his chest and nodding.
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "Let's talk to Lord Arthur. What's wrong? Did you disturb Lord Arthur's confession? I'm very sorry."
Arthur shook his head and said: "I have nothing to confess. I have nothing to hide from the Lord. I am just praying for my countrymen and praying that they can be safe. Oh, I mean these people in the church. Not those outside.
Soldiers and horses.”
Zhang Yanling laughed and said: "No need to explain. You want us to be destroyed, and you want people from outside to attack. I understand very well in my heart. This is not a big deal. It's a pity that they can't attack. Mr. Bishop, we just destroyed it
We captured the six heavy artillery pieces of your Fo Langji army. They are the cannons that roared just now."
Arthur looked calm and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Lord Duke. I don't want them to attack as you think. I just hope that this will end soon."
Zhang Yanling laughed, walked slowly over, saw a Bible on the table, reached for it, and turned over a few pages. The dense letters and words on it made people feel numb. Zhang Yanling threw the Bible back to its original place, using all his strength.
The Bible was too big and fell from the table to the floor.
"Please don't blaspheme our Bible, God will blame you." Arthur picked it up quickly and brushed off the dust.
Zhang Yanling laughed: "The robbers all pretend to be polite. It is you who are blaspheming your religion. I just let this Bible fall to the ground. What you did violated the teachings above. This is really ridiculous."
