Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 844
Hassan, who had no confidence at all, couldn't help showing a smile on his face after seeing that the solid bullets fired by the Ming army did not cause damage to the city wall.

He naively believed that if the artillery could not do anything to the city walls of Turpan, the Ming army would undoubtedly be defeated.

The chief general of the Ming army under the city was Prince Zhu Cihong, Li Yan and Zhang Fugui guarding the north and west gates, and he led [-] Ming troops to guard the south and east gates.

Because of the surprise attack by the Yarkand Khanate that caused more than 1000 casualties, Zhu Cihong and Li Yan no longer planned to let any soldier in the city go, and first gave the Yarkand Khanate a blow to see who dared to resist.

In order to break through Turpan, and in order to prevent the Ming army from suffering any more casualties, Zhu Cihong took out the Chongzhen cannon, which was his watchdog.

After the Chongzhen artillery was installed in place, he ordered three artillery shots to test the thickness of the Turpan city wall, and found that the three solid bullets did not cause major damage to the city wall.

After seeing the point of impact, Zhu Cihong handed the binoculars to Baihu, the artilleryman:

"Look at the shelling just now, it seems that the solid bullets didn't do anything."

Baihu of the Artillery took a closer look at the telescope in Zhu Cihong's hand and said:
"Your Highness, judging from the location and traces of the bombardment just now, the Turpan city wall is at least three meters thick. If you bombard a direction with flowering bombs, no matter how strong the earth wall is, it will not escape the fate of being bombarded."

Huang Dahu became anxious when he heard it:

"What are you waiting for, boy, use flower bombs to blast his mother..."

The artillery hundred households cupped their hands at Huang Dahu and said with a smile:

"General Huang, don't worry, adjust the shooting angle of the artillery immediately."

Zhu Cihong smiled and nodded:
"Thirty cannons bombarded one place in turn. Once the city wall collapsed, the four Ming troops were notified, and the mortars were ordered to carry out carpet bombing on the city immediately to cover the Ming army from entering the city."

"Yes"

With Zhu Cihong's order, the thirty Chongzhen cannons immediately began to adjust their angles, and after the angle adjustments were completed, they were loaded with explosive shells.

Thirty flower shells are loaded into the gun chamber together, but they are not fired at the same time. Fifteen shells are fired first and then fifteen shells are fired, so that the shelling will not be interrupted. If the shells are fired together to bombard a place, it is likely that the shells will collide with each other in the air. The explosion caused a waste of shells.

"fire!"

"Rumble..."

The soldiers of the Yarkand Khanate on the top of the city saw that the Ming army was firing again, and they were still laughing:
"Don't think that just a few broken cannons are great, they may be useless against Turpan's earthen walls..."

"Boom bang bang..."

Before they finished speaking, the conical single head of the flowering bullet penetrated more than a foot deep into the earth wall, and then a comprehension explosion occurred...

One flowering bomb blasted the earth wall into a big hole two meters in size and one meter deep, and then more flowering bombs bombarded the earth wall, and many shells just got into the hole where the previous shell exploded...

The eardrums of the soldiers of the Yarkand Khanate on the city that were only shaken by the two rounds of shelling were buzzing, and some even had bleeding from their ears. They all covered their ears and squatted on the city wall, not daring to move.

"Rumble..."

"Rumble..."

After more than ten rounds of continuous shelling, the city wall of Turpan finally collapsed about 80 meters in the shelling, and hundreds of Yarkand Khanate soldiers who were hiding on the wall were buried by the earth wall in an instant.

"My lord, something is wrong, the city wall was blown down by the Ming army..."

Hassan's personal guards saw the collapse of the city wall not far away, and hurriedly reminded Hassan loudly that almost all of these people were dizzy from the shock of the shells hitting the city wall.

Dazedly hearing the shouts of his subordinates, Hassan hurriedly looked up, and sure enough, he saw that the city wall had collapsed by nearly a hundred meters. Hassan hurriedly got up and gave a loud order:

"Quick, immediately go over and block the gap to prevent the Ming army from entering the city."

"Yes"

His lieutenant general led 5000 people to plug the gap immediately. Of course, he didn't use people to block the gap, but just waited there with bows and arrows. Once the Ming army entered the city, they immediately opened their bows and arrows.

Hassan saw that only a few thousand people passed by, and he knew that these people were not enough, so he immediately ordered his generals to help guard the gap:
"Not enough, you take another 5000 people to defend the gap, and you must block the Ming army."

"Rumble..."

"Boom bang bang..."

But before he finished speaking, countless mortar shells fell on the city wall with a parabola, and the soldiers of the Yarkant Khanate were blown to pieces...

"Oh my god...the artifacts of the Ming army are too powerful, let's go down to the top of the city..."

The soldiers of the Yarkand Khanate who were bombed with flesh and blood, remembered the words of the three cavalrymen who fled back. It turned out that they said that the army can kill people from a long distance. It is absolutely true...

During the bombing of the mortars, the soldiers of the Yarkand Khanate immediately wanted to escape from the city, but the mortars chased them and bombarded them, and they were temporarily safe until they ran out of the range of the mortars.

At the same time that the south gate was bombed, the other three gates of Turpan were also bombarded by mortars from the Ming army. The Yarkand Khan soldiers guarding the gate had never seen such a battle before, and they all fled to the safety of the city.

The defenders at the gap in the southern city did not retreat but hid everywhere, but no matter where they were hiding, five hundred mortars bombarded them continuously, and the Chongzhen artillery bombarded the city wall for more than 200 meters.

Zhu Cihong pulled out the pistol at his waist and pulled the trigger:
"Soldiers of the Ming army, the time has come to make contributions to the country, kill!"

"Go ahead!"

"Kill it!"

200 Ming troops directly rushed to the gap in the city wall more than [-] meters wide.

"The Ming army is here, let's shoot the arrows..."

The defenders guarding there suffered at least more than 2000 casualties in the mortar bombing, and the remaining 8000 people saw the Ming army coming like a tide, and hurriedly began to shoot arrows.

"Whizzing……"

Arrows fell like rain in an instant, but they were still more than 200 meters away from the Ming army!How could shooting arrows from such a distance hurt the Daoming army? The arrows fell about 100 meters in front of the Ming army, and they couldn't even scare the Ming army.

Huang Dahu and Huang Xiaohu, who led the army to charge, saw the opponent shooting arrows, and they waved their hands to stop the advance of the Ming army:
"The attack is tentatively scheduled, and the cannonballs will open the way for Lao Tzu!"

"Rumble..."

In order to prevent the soldiers from being hit by arrows, the big tiger and the little tiger gave an order, and the mortars began to bombard the places known to the defenders.

If they bombed the Ming army on the entire city just now, the target now is the defenders of the Yarkand Khanate not far ahead. The continuous bombardment caused nearly 1000 casualties to the defenders. He didn't dare to look up from the ground.

"rush……"

Huang Dahu waved his hand, and the Ming army began to enter the city with rifled guns. These defenders were really brave enough. Seeing the Ming army entering the city, they stood up again and prepared to draw their bows and arrows. But looking at the distance between the two sides, they decided to wait for the Ming army to enter the city. Get in range and shoot the arrow.

However, the Ming army started to pull the trigger at 160 meters, and the mini bombs spun quickly into the bodies of the soldiers of the Yarkand Khanate, smashing their internal organs...
