The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 80
The first round of arrows rained down, except for a series of beeping sounds from nails on wooden windows, etc., there was no abnormality, and there was not a single human scream.

"These grandsons must be hiding in the house, so the rain of arrows from the outside won't be effective." Jiang Chuan thought for a while and ordered decisively: "Stop shooting arrows, the assault team rushed in, and a hundred archers followed. remote support."

The assault team marched cautiously into the county government office where the gate was opened, followed by a hundred horse archers who temporarily acted as infantry archers.

There continued to be no movement inside, and the commando continued to move forward slowly, slowly bypassing the screen wall of the county government office. The opposite happened to be the lobby of the county government office.

Suddenly there was a scream, and a soldier at the head of the commando was pierced by an arrow through his right thigh, which was not covered by a shield, and fell to the ground with a painful grunt, causing a small commotion.

"Drag out and find the enemy's position!" The light cavalry centurion, the leader of the commando, ordered in a low voice, and the people behind dragged the arrowed soldiers and ran back quickly.

Following the short stagnation time of the commando, suddenly the door of the county government hall was opened suddenly, and a violent rain of arrows rushed towards the commando.

"Shield!" The centurion roared violently, quickly raised the small round shield in his hand and lowered his body, using the shield to protect his head, chest and abdomen.

The soldiers behind him also quickly made the same movement.

But the Tartar archery here is obviously very accurate, and the commander is also very intelligent. Except for a few of the arrows that were blocked by the shield, most of the rest hit the lower limbs of the commandos, causing many people to attack. He fell down with a groan, and the originally neat formation was in chaos.

The commando team was originally formed temporarily by light cavalry. They did not have the equipment for urban combat, nor did they have the corresponding skills and qualities for urban combat. This immediately showed their shortcomings.

Although the commando was frustrated, the cavalry behind still seized this fleeting opportunity and quickly poured a wave of arrows into the hall of the county government office.

A few muffled groans came from the lobby, apparently someone from the Tartar inside had been shot by an arrow.

But before the horse archers could shoot the second round of arrows, the door of the lobby was quickly closed again, and the scene fell into silence again.

"Withdraw!" Jiang Chuan's eyes were burning, but he knew that he couldn't continue to attack like this, otherwise, even if he took down that important figure in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the casualties would be heavy.

Although it is said that compassion does not control soldiers, a qualified commander should cherish the lives of soldiers as much as possible under the premise of being able to achieve goals.A general who only knows how to spend his life is a mediocrity, if not a fool.

The commandos and archers all withdrew. Jiang Chuan was annoyed when he saw the wounded lying on the ground, but he tried his best to calm himself down.

He walked up and down the long street with the lord's great sword on his waist, pacing, eagerly thinking about ways to defeat the enemy.

Suddenly, a rush of footsteps interrupted Jiang Chuan's thinking. He raised his eyes and saw a group of bald men wearing Qing soldiers' uniforms running towards him quickly.

"General, we, we are late." It was Li Han and his artillery team members who had just surrendered.

Although each of the cannons in red was dragged by four leather horses, they were big guys after all, so they fell behind the brigade.

By the time Li Han and the others dragged their cannons to the south gate of Liaoyang, Jiang Chuan had already arrived at the gate of the county government.

After he asked, he hurried over with a few people.Just surrendered and regained his new life, he was afraid that Jiang Chuan would blame him for being slow.

Seeing Li Han, Jiang Chuan's eyes lit up suddenly, and he slapped his thigh, how could he forget these big killers.

Damn, with the big killer weapon of cannon, the city can be taken down, let alone a small county government.

"Li Han, let me ask you, where is the cannon?" Jiang Chuan grabbed Li Han's shoulder and asked eagerly.

"General, there are people guarding the south gate." Li Han was taken aback by Jiang Chuan's expression, and replied nervously.

"Okay, you drag two cannons over for this general." Jiang Chuan patted Li Han on the shoulder and laughed loudly.

"Ah? General, what is this for?" Li Han was a little confused for a moment.

"What are you doing? It's time for you to make great contributions. Go!" Jiang Chuan laughed.

Li Han looked at the wounded soldiers all over the ground, he didn't dare to ask more questions, and hurriedly led his men back to the south gate to drag the cannon.

Not long after, there was a rumbling sound. It was the sound of cannon wheels rolling over the bluestone road. Eight big horses and a dozen artillerymen hurried over to the county government with two cannons.

"General, the cannon is coming." Li Han swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said a little nervously.

"Okay, now you take someone to mount the cannon, load the gunpowder and shells, and let me blast that screen wall first." Jiang Chuan pointed to the screen wall facing the gate of the county government office and explained to Li Han.

If you want to attack the lobby, you must first break the screen wall that blocks the line of sight.

Li Han took the order and hurriedly led his people to work.

A few minutes later, the two cannons were aimed at the big screen wall, the gunpowder and shells were loaded, and the angles were adjusted in place. The torches had been lit, and they waited for an order to be fired.

Seeing Li Han's eyes looking over, Jiang Chuan nodded and said loudly: "Light it up, launch it, and give me a f*cking blow."

The torch ignited the fuse, and the fuse burned rapidly, quickly igniting the gunpowder in the barrel.

With a deafening bang, the powerful recoil caused the muzzle of the cannon to jump suddenly, and the wheels retreated sharply.

Two round and black solid shells flew out towards the screen wall, because the distance was too short, the ballistic trajectory was almost straight.

With such a short distance and such a big cannon, two shells hit the screen wall engraved with patterns and the four characters of "propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame" without any accident. The screen wall was instantly shattered and collapsed, revealing the closed door The county government lobby.

"Okay, well done. Continue to bombard the lobby!" Jiang Chuan applauded and continued to order.

Li Han got the order to lead the men to clean the barrel again, reload it, adjust the angle of the muzzle, and soon be ready again.

"Launch!" Jiang Chuan yelled, and the lord's sword slashed forward into the void.

"Boom", the two cannons sounded almost at the same time, and the two solid iron shells slammed into the tightly closed and thick door of the county government hall with the momentum of thunder.

"Kacha", the cracking sound of wood suddenly sounded, and the two cannonballs blasted the thick lobby door into pieces almost without hindrance, and then flew inward with unabated momentum. There were bursts of mournful wailing, obviously someone had been hit by a shell.

Hearing the sound coming from inside, Jiang Chuan couldn't help but feel pain for those Tartars. Such a large solid iron shell is not like the shells of later generations that used shell fragments to cause damage, but smashed people to death alive. It can be called a disgusting and tragic one.

Seeing the cannon work and build meritorious service, the gloom that had enveloped Jiang Chuan's heart just now dissipated, and his whole body felt refreshed.

"Continue to load and prepare to launch again." He ordered again to Li Han who was also excited.

"Okay, general, look at it, let's use flowering ammunition this time to ensure that those shriveled puppies in it won't be able to eat around." Li Han said excitedly.

"What the hell? There are also flowering bullets?" Jiang Chuan was very surprised. He thought that the cannons of this era only had solid bullets, but he didn't expect that there were flowering bullets.

"General, this red cannon solid bullet is used to attack the city, and this flower bullet is used to hit people. The shell contains gunpowder, iron nails, broken porcelain pieces and other things. When it hits the ground, it explodes and can tie people into pieces." It’s a hornet’s nest. Some of them are filled with chili and pepper noodles, which makes people cry and can’t keep their eyes open.” Li Han explained to Jiang Chuan excitedly.

Jiang Chuan was overjoyed. He didn't expect that the cannons of this era would have flower bombs and special "chemical weapons". It seemed that he really underestimated the ancients.

"Okay, this time I will use the flowering ammunition, so that the calves inside can have a good taste of their own cannon." Jiang Chuan laughed loudly.

Soon, the cannon was reloaded, and Li Han was ready to ignite with a torch.

When Jiang Chuan was about to order another launch, a voice suddenly came from the lobby:
"Don't fire, let's, let's come out!"

　The second one arrives.By the way, please ask for a ticket, a reward or something, please ask the local tyrant to turn over the brand!
