Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

When he was outside the capital city, Agumu had experienced the power of this kind of artillery. At that time, he was already frightened by the 120mm mortar. Now when he saw this kind of artillery again, he suddenly remembered the The scene in Beijing.

Although the construction of the artillery position was completed, Agumu's body was shaking more and more. In the end, he had to support the female wall on the city wall to maintain his body's stability.

The defenders on the city wall looked at the artillery positions that had been built, and panicked a little.

"Pass me, me, me, order, order, order, everyone must not panic, everyone must not shout, once found, kill immediately!" Agumu shouted to the guards beside him, supporting the city wall.

The guard beside him looked not much better than Agumu, and he was also trembling with trepidation.

"Obey!" Qinweimen yelled at Agumu tremblingly, and then ran along the city wall.

There are a lot of tools for defending the city, such as bricks, tiles, stones, beams and arrows, piled up on the city walls. Although there are a large number of these tools, they only serve as some psychological comfort.

"My lord, the formation has been completed!" The artillery commander shouted at Chen Dehao in front of him.

Chen Dehao nodded, pulled out the steel knife from his waist and pointed it at the city wall of Jingyuan Fort, "Send me an order to attack the city with high-explosive bombs, kill me!"

"Obey!" The artillery commander shouted at Chen Dehao, and then rushed to the artillery position.

After a few breaths, the 120mm mortars and 40mm mortars flew towards the wall of Jingyuan Fort with a whistling sound.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

"Chi la chi la chi la!"

All of a sudden, various voices rang out endlessly.

Agumu, who was standing on the city wall, first saw a lot of gunpowder smoke suddenly rising from the artillery position, and then heard a lot of strange screams.

Agumu, who has experienced the baptism of Xuanzhen's artillery fire, understands that Xuanzhen's soldiers and horses have already begun to attack.

"Everyone squat down!" Agumu hurriedly shouted to the side, then quickly squatted down, hiding his body behind the parapet.

As soon as Agumu finished speaking, he ran and landed on the city wall.

"Bang bang bang!"

For a while, the sound of artillery explosions rang out endlessly, and the city wall was enveloped by explosions. Every explosion could take away part of the defenders.

The fragments produced by the explosion and the bricks and tiles shattered by the explosion hit the city wall like heavy rain, crackling non-stop.

A soldier with a white flag squatted behind the parapet, tightly plugging his ears, his body trembling constantly.

At this moment, a shell fired from a 120mm mortar fell on the female wall where he was hiding.

"Bang!!!"

In an instant, accompanied by a huge explosion, the female wall was bombed to pieces.

The fragments of bricks and tiles that fell out were like bullets crackling and hitting his body. In the blink of an eye, he was beaten into a hornet's nest.

In the huge explosion, the screams began to ring out on the city wall, and some half-disabled soldiers who were bombed by the artillery covered their wounds and shouted, "Ahhh!!! Help!! Help! I want to come back, I want to go home!!!”

Unfortunately, none of them were able to realize their wishes.

Agumu squatted behind the female wall and watched the tragic situation on the city wall, both terrified and angry.

Just then, a 120mm mortar shell fell from the sky and landed beside him.

"Bang!!!"

A red light lit up, and a huge explosion enveloped him, and the guards beside him were also enveloped in flames.

After the explosion dissipated, several shattered bodies with black smoke appeared on the city wall.

"It's not good, it's not good, my lord was killed by the bombing, we can't hold it anymore, we can't hold it anymore!" A soldier looked at the dead Agumu and panicked instantly.

He hurriedly stood up and yelled on the city wall like a madman.

However, before he finished speaking, he landed beside him as soon as he ran.

After the explosion, like Agumu, he was blown beyond recognition.

Under the intensive artillery bombardment, the defenders on the city wall began to collapse within half a quarter of an hour.

"Run, we are not opponents!" A defender screamed and stood up, running towards the stairs of the city wall.

Not only him, but the defenders on the entire city wall also began to panic, and almost all the surviving defenders ran towards the stairs despite the artillery fire.

The stairs on the city wall were a bit narrow, and the defenders on the city wall were rushing towards the stairs in panic, so the stairs were instantly blocked by fleeing soldiers.

At this moment, seven or eight shells landed on the stairs, and the huge explosion instantly emptied the stairs, and the defenders above were blown to bits by the explosion.

Some of them were in the center of the explosion point, and they were instantly blown up like rags and sacks, inhumane.

In the violent explosion, the stairs were also blown down.

After all, Jingyuan Fort is just a very ordinary military fort, and it has not been repaired for so many years, so the stairs on the city wall are very decayed, and it didn't last long before being blown down.

Looking at the stepped stairs, the soldiers on the city wall panicked even more.

Some of the defenders who were far away from the stairs watched the constant explosions on the top of the city, and their heart sank, and they jumped directly from the city wall.

The city wall of Jingyuan Castle is not too high, so many defenders who jumped off the city wall were not directly killed.

At this time, many defenders jumped from the city wall, but luck is too small, coupled with the large number of people, and panic, so the number of defenders who were thrown to death and disabled continued to increase.

Some defenders ran along the wall to the other walls, hoping to escape the shelling.

However, even if they can escape the shelling, the Jingyuan Fort will be gone.

Despite the continuous bombardment of artillery, the city wall to the west of Jingyuan Fort was also being destroyed continuously.

When the sun rose to the sky, the city wall to the west had already been blown out of shape and completely trampled.

There is hardly a single complete brick on the ruins to the west, and almost all of these city wall bricks have been blasted to pieces.

Among the broken bricks and tiles were many corpses.

The rammed earth layer in the city wall was also destroyed by the artillery, and the rammed earth inside was shot up into the sky, filling the entire western city wall.

"Send the order to stop firing!"

Chen Dehao looked at the city wall to the west with his binoculars, and shouted at the guards beside him.

The guards beside him hurried towards the artillery position.

It didn't take long for the shelling to stop.

When the gunpowder smoke and dust from the western city wall dissipated half, Chen Dehao saw the true face of the city wall.

"Haha, vulnerable, vulnerable." Chen Dehao put away his binoculars and shouted at Meng He next to him, "Let your troops prepare to charge!"

The horses that Chen Dehao and Meng He's soldiers rode were specially trained, so they could keep quiet under the artillery just now.

"Haha, come on!" Meng He's eyes burst into a bright light, and then he shouted to the guards behind him: "Pass my order, everyone is ready to charge!"

Chen Dehao also hastily conveyed the order to prepare to charge.

After about two quarters of an hour, when the smoke and gunpowder smoke from the west city wall dissipated completely, Chen Dehao pulled out the steel knife that had been inserted back into his waist just now, "Charge, kill!!!"

After Chen Dehao finished speaking, he brandished the steel knife with his right hand and grabbed the whip with his left hand, rushing forward at the head of the horse.

When one person moves, ten thousand people move. After a few breaths, there was a thunderous sound of horseshoes.

Chapter 469 Conquering Jingyuan Fort

Chen Dehao and Meng He's troops bypassed the artillery position in front and rushed towards Jingyuan Fort.

The sound of horseshoes hitting the ground made a loud noise.

The Zhengbai Banner soldiers in the city who had escaped from the city wall hurried towards the direction of the tied horses.

Because the explosion was too loud just now, many horses were frightened and broke free from the reins where the horses were tied.

But almost all the gates in the city were tightly sealed, so the escaped war horses could only scurry around in the city.

The Zhengbai Banner soldiers who had escaped from the west wall ignored them, and directly got off the horses that hadn't escaped from the hitching posts, and then rode on the horses and fled towards the east gate.

When the tethered horses were plundered, those without horses hurried after the frightened horses in the city.

But these war horses were so frightened by the artillery fire, how could they catch them?

When they really couldn't get the horses, they didn't care about it, and ran towards the east gate with their legs open.

Some Zhengbai Banner soldiers who hadn't got their horses were eager to escape, and they didn't care about anything. They fought for the horses with those Zhengbai Banner soldiers who hadn't escaped yet on their horses.

For a while, the chaos in Jingyuan Castle was unbelievable.

"rush!!!"

Chen Dehao looked at the dilapidated city wall ahead, pointed the knife in his hand, screamed loudly, and then controlled the horse to rush across the dry moat.

After crossing the moat, Chen Dehao's speed slowed down.

The west city wall was blown down by artillery fire, and the ground was in a mess. In order to prevent the horse from tripping over the rubble, Chen Dehao had to slow down.

The horses galloped on the ruins of the western city wall full of rubble, heading forward.

The ruins were full of rubble, and some Zhengbaiqi soldiers who were not completely dead woke up at this time.

They struggled to stand up, staring blankly at the scene in front of them.

Horses passed by them one after another, and the soldiers on the horses swung the steel knives in their hands at the still dazed Zhengbai flag soldiers, beheading them to the ground before they could react.

Jingyuan Fort is a typical military fort. All the buildings inside serve the military, so the houses inside are basically barracks.

In addition, Agumu asked people to demolish the houses in the city before, and used bricks, tiles, beams and other things as defensive tools.

Therefore, the current Jingyuan Fortress is extremely empty, and there are only a short section of low wall erected everywhere that has been demolished.

The area of ​​Jingyuan Fort is not very large, and the houses inside are almost demolished, so after Chen Dehao rushed into Jingyuan Fort, he could have a panoramic view of the entire Jingyuan Fort.

On the east side of Jingyuan Fort, the escaped Zhengbai Banner soldiers gathered. Because of their escape and panic, these soldiers crowded at the gate of the city.

As for the South City Gate and East City Gate, there were also crowded Zhengbai Banner soldiers, but the numbers were not many.

These two city gates are too close to the west city gate, and the artillery fire fell on these two city gates before, so these Zhengbai Banner soldiers gathered at the east city gate.

Chen Dehao's eyes lit up, he pulled the reins of the horse in his hand, and shouted at the same time: "Everyone stop moving forward!"

After entering the city, the speed of Chen Dehao's men and Meng He's men slowed down.

So it didn't take long for Chen Dehao's order to spread, all the soldiers stopped.

Chen Dehao pointed at the Zhengbaiqi soldiers crowded at the gate of the city, and shouted loudly behind him: "Xuanzhen's army dismounts, let me directly attack with firearms freely!"

The fastest way to deal with the Jian slaves crowded at the gate of the city is to use firearms.

Under Chen Dehao's order, Xuanzhen soldiers quickly jumped off their horses and took off the weapons on their backs at the same time.

The weapons used by these Xuanzhen garrisons stationed in Horqin are all 56 punches or 56 and a half.

After these soldiers jumped off their horses, they began to run fifty paces ahead, aiming their weapons forward at the same time.

The Zhengbai Banner soldiers at the city gate became even more flustered when they saw the soldiers approaching from behind.

A Niu Luzhang Jing rode on a horse, and slashed the long knife in his hand at the soldiers blocking in front of him.

"Get out of the way for me, get out of here, get out of me!" Niu Lu Zhang Jing kept yelling at the soldiers crowded in front of him with a ferocious face, and the knives in his hands kept falling on the soldiers of Zhengbai Banner. body.

At this moment, a knife stretched out from behind and stabbed at Niu Luzhangjing's back.

There was only a puff, and the long knife was inserted into the back of this Niu Luzhangjing.

Niu Luzhangjing exhausted his last strength and looked behind in disbelief.

I saw a very young-looking soldier holding the handle of the knife firmly, looking at him fiercely.

When the soldier saw that Niu Lu Zhang Jing turned his head, he twisted the handle of the knife in his hand violently.

This Niu Lu Zhang Jing couldn't bear it anymore, struggled and fell off the horse, and lost his life after a few thumps on the ground.

These soldiers of Zhengbai Banner had been blown into insanity by the artillery fire of Xuanzhen soldiers and horses, and now they just wanted to escape as soon as possible.

At this time, anyone who stood in front of him and prevented him from escaping was his sworn enemy.

At this moment, Niu Luzhangjing's deterrent effect on the army is far less than his desire to live.

"Shoot!" Chen Dehao pointed at the city gate ahead and shouted loudly.
