Anti-Qing: I'm actually an honest person

Chapter 160

When Zheng Jun's entire army heard the order to attack, they were basically in a daze.

In order to surprise them, they rushed over after gathering from Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, and Tingzhou overnight last night. If they are far away, they are not far away, but if they are close, they have never stopped walking here.

In fact, if there are cavalry in Chenghai City, such as the elite of the Eight Banners, they can actually go out of the city to fight back while they are not stable.

Of course, Lei Zhentian himself is not a famous general, and even this is his first time commanding a battle. He can't grasp this kind of fighter opportunity. He can basically complete the task of defending the city. The musket can be effective, which is already considered extraordinary performance for him.

However, even if Zheng Jun's soldiers walked all night, they could still barely be so tired under the stimulation of adrenaline, but their stomachs couldn't stand it.

So Zheng Jing's pre-battle speech is actually delaying everyone's time, so that everyone can at least drink water, eat breakfast, and prepare well. After all, siege is different from field battles. Generally speaking, it takes a few days to say less. There are months or even years.

Who knew you ordered the attack so quickly!

Don't people just scold you, what's the matter?Hmm... Although the scolding is indeed quite ugly.

You are obviously in a hurry!
Why are you in a hurry?

Do you really like men?
Are you really having an affair with Jiang Sheng?
Yi~~~~~
Seeing this, Zheng Keshuang, as the vanguard of Zheng Jun, had already been unable to bear Cheng Haijun's swear words. At this time, his face was redder than Zheng Jing's, and he pulled out his sword in a daze, and shouted: "Brothers, Lord! The humiliating minister is dead, follow me up the slope, and bombard Chenghai City!"

With that said, Zheng Keshuang led a group of troops to bravely climb up the slope in front of the city.

The slope in front of Chenghai City seriously hindered the shooting angle of Zheng Jun's cannons. Zheng Kezang planned to simply push the cannons up the slope to shorten the height difference between their attacking side and the defending side's artillery fire.

He has seen this move in military law. It is called the earth-building method. It is the most common method of attacking a city in ancient times. It means building an earthen wall outside the city, and when the earthen wall is built higher than the city wall, you can shoot down and suppress the city wall. The defenders on board!

Although I don't know why the Ming army built such a slope in front of their own city gate, but the ready-made earthen walls don't need to be repaired. Isn't this saving me a lot of trouble inside and out?

Zheng Jing was overjoyed when he saw this, and shouted loudly: "My son is brave! Hahaha, fire me! Blast them to death."

However, Liu Guoxuan and Huang Fangdu, who were in the back line, saw this situation, but they unanimously complained: "Brave pen."

Sure enough, within a short time, the cannon fire roared on the city wall, and it hit Zheng Kezang, who was leading the cannon cart with the shield on his shield, with great precision. Not too much difference, seven or eight cannons landed here, and along the angle of the slope, it turned into seven or eight life-harvesting gods of death.

Two of the red-clothed cannons were blown into the air, and then rolled down the slope. The cannon barrels weighing five or six hundred catties rolled down sideways, but it was like a steamroller that directly drove the 100-odd cannons into the air. The vanguard was rolled over, and everyone was thrown off their feet for a while.

Zheng Keshuang, who got up in a panic, realized that this slope happened to be the best firing angle for the artillery on the city wall.

This was done by a special school team. As long as the cannons on the city wall do not change their angle up and down, and sweep left and right with your eyes closed, you can ensure that every shell will pass through the formation against the slope.

However, it was obviously too late to react at this time. The disgraced Zheng Keshuang didn't even have time to yell to withdraw when he heard a burst of gunshots and felt pain in his abdomen. When he looked down, he saw a huge gun hole bleeding day by day.

The gun is also at a good angle ahead of the school team.

It hurts.

"Help, save me, I, I don't want to die"

"Second son."

"Second son."

A group of small soldiers surrounded Zheng Keshuang one after another, and wanted to retreat while carrying him.

Then, boom!bang bang bang!

Another salvo of artillery was fired, and two large shells swept towards their area.

Who made this piece get together?

The soldiers did not expect that the cannon could be reloaded so quickly. Who could stand it? No one discussed it. The soldiers who carried Zheng Keshuang let go, threw Zheng Keshuang on the ground, turned around and left. run.

Two rounds of bombardment directly crushed the so-called striker. Zheng Keshuang fell to the ground and felt those big feet kicking and stomping on him, and he could not help but roll. Ah, roll, when you roll to the foot of the slope, you have only one breath.

Struggling to get up.

He saw another cannon roll down with a gurgling sound and hit him on the body with a duang sound.

Zheng Jing could see clearly from the high platform, and for a moment he was about to burst into tears, and yelled in grief: "It's so cool!!"

Then he hurried down to find Zheng Keshuang's body from the bottom of the slope, holding his head and weeping uncontrollably: "It's so cool~ It's so cool~"

…………

Ignoring Zheng Jing's farce, Huang Fangdu and Liu Guoxuan saw all this clearly, but at the same time they took a deep breath.

Huang Fangdu said: "Although Zheng Keshuang is a bit stupid, this mere slope is really surprising. It's such a powerful trick."

Seeing this, Liu Guoxuan glanced at his mouth disdainfully and said: "That idiot Zheng Keshuang's death is not a pity, he just took it as a test for the army, but unfortunately, this wave seems to have hit three cannons, two in red and one in red. Thunder God, I don’t know if it was broken or not.”

"General Liu, is there a way to deal with it? How did Zheng Chenggong break through Zeelandia back then?"

"It's nothing more than a desperate charge. If you can't charge up front, you will charge from the side. If you can't charge up from the side, you will leave behind. Although the artillery is powerful, it is impossible to fire continuously. If you survive the previous rounds of shelling, the rear will naturally be boring. It’s too late, otherwise the barrel will overheat and explode, and the biggest weakness of this bastion is also the same, it relies too much on firearms.”

Huang Fangdu shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it will be very difficult to fight. Those who ascended first almost died, and you and Zheng Jing's soldiers are all newly recruited soldiers. I am afraid it will be difficult to fight such a tough battle?"

"Furthermore, it's just demolishing the slope. After all, the slope is just an earthen wall. In fact, there is no need to demolish it all. If it is lowered by a few centimeters, the cannons on the city wall will naturally not be able to shoot so accurately. It's just that, during construction, It still needs to be bombarded, and secondly, the amount of work is actually not small, and I am afraid it will take a long time, unless..."

Huang Fangdu looked at him and smiled: "Unless we mobilize the civilians to help us dig the slope."
