Become a feudal king from today

"Boom boom boom..."

The artillery shell exploded at the city wall of Zhileng County, causing bursts of fire.

The shrapnel spread like a goddess scattering flowers, and the Jiaozhi soldiers who were hit by the shrapnel were blown away by the shock wave before they could scream.

Some field guns were hit by shells, and their wheels suddenly collapsed and fell to the ground.

The parapets on the city wall were even more vulnerable to the bombardment of explosive bombs and collapsed one after another.

In a short period of time, the city wall was in a mess.

"General, something is wrong."

Since the first cannonball landed on the city wall, Ruan Youjin immediately headed towards the north wall.

When he arrived at the city wall, he was stopped by Gao Yaozhi.

At this moment, Gao Yaoshang's face was covered with dust and his clothes were torn.

A shell exploded just five meters away from him. Three soldiers around him were killed, two soldiers were seriously injured, and he and five soldiers were slightly injured.

The power of this artillery shell is terrifyingly powerful.

During the time Ruan Youjin arrived, 20% of the soldiers guarding the city were killed or injured.

"What's wrong?" Ruan Youjin looked embarrassed.

He didn't sleep all night last night.

After sending out soldiers for a sneak attack, he fully expected the good news of a successful sneak attack.

But all he waited for was the sound of gunfire five miles away.

Later, the entrance to the cave was discovered, and he had to order the cave to be blown up.

But this was not the most shocking thing to him.

What surprised him the most was the bright light like a shooting star five miles away.

He knew that it belonged to Dasong's army, but he couldn't imagine what it was?

"The shooting distance of the opponent's artillery is much greater than our artillery, and now we can only be bombed." Gao Yaozhi said sadly.

This feeling of being beaten without being able to fight back is too uncomfortable.

Most importantly, the performance of Dasong's army greatly exceeded their expectations.

Although I understand that the current Dasong army is different from the past.

But they always thought that they were no more than the Western Turkish army.

But now the cold facts deny this.

The tactics taught to them by Frankish military instructors were of no use.

"Asshole, how could this happen!" Ruan Youjin was shocked.

He was in a state of confusion when suddenly a soldier came to his side and handed him a letter, "General, this is a letter from Your Majesty."

Ruan Youjin tore open the letter, glanced at it, and his face turned pale.

"What's wrong? General." Gao Yaozhi asked when he saw Ruan Youjin's expression was strange.

"This is the information sent by Mark Wen. In his conversation with British Governor Bolt, Ashur mentioned that the artillery of the Dasong army has a long range and firearms that can illuminate at night." Ruan Youjin handed the letter to Gao Yaozhi.

These are the only two messages in the letter.

Information about machine guns was not mentioned.

This is because during the northern war, the White Tiger Army was not yet equipped with machine guns.

After reuniting with Mule Hongzhen, the Lancers arrived again. The two had no time to communicate and fled back to Tubo in a hurry.

Gao Yaozhi took the letter and read it, stamping his feet angrily, "I just got this information now, it's useless."

Ruan Youjin was also a little irritable.

He thought this was a normal war, but now he seemed to be back thirty years ago.

At that time, he was still a captain fighting with the Frankish army, and for the first time he saw muskets, artillery and the opponent's line formation.

The opponent's artillery and guns frightened them, and the 60,000 Cochin army that was urgently summoned was defeated by 2,000 Frank troops.

After that, Frank's warships sailed along the coastline and continuously attacked the coast.

Although Frank only has more than 2,000 people, with the help of battleships, he can gather more than 2,000 people at any point along the coast at any time.

Although their army was large, they had no time to support them.

Sometimes it allows the opponent to gain a strength advantage.

After a year of hard fighting, they finally found that they were unable to fight the Franks and finally chose to surrender.

Now, the Great Song Army reminded him again of the fear of being conquered.

However, Dasong is not Frank after all.

Surrendering to the Franks, the Ruan family could continue to live a good life in Cochin.

But by surrendering to the Great Song, they are likely to be uprooted.

Thinking of this, the fear of death overcame his fear of Dasong's army.

Turning to Gao Yaozhi, he said: "No matter what the cost, you must guard Zhileng County for me. Those who retreat will be killed without mercy."

After that, he motioned to the generals beside him and asked them to go up to the city wall to take command.

They suffered terribly under the bombardment of Dasong's army.

But the city wall must be defended, otherwise once the opponent launches an attack, it will be too late for them to rush to the city.

Seeing Ruan Youjin's resolute attitude, Gao Yaozhi looked at each other and dispatched soldiers to supplement the casualties on the city wall.

"Boom, boom, boom..." The shelling continued, from morning to noon, and from noon to night.

Even late at night, the shelling did not stop.

In order to prevent the Jiaozhi army from withdrawing the city wall, Qinshan continued to send soldiers to feign attacks, which made the Jiaozhi army complain even more.

The shelling continued for three days.

The entire city wall in Zhileng County was blown up like a piece of tofu that had been chewed by a dog, and some walls even collapsed in a small area.

But during these three days, the soldiers of the Qinglong Army were waiting for work and had plenty of rest.

At noon on the fourth day, under the continuous bombardment of rifled artillery, the wall on the left side of the Zhileng County gate collapsed.

Seizing this opportunity, Qin Shan immediately ordered Guo Yong's forward troops to organize an attack.

Under the suppression of artillery fire, three thousand Qinglong Army soldiers poured out from the narrow mountain road and entered the open space in front of Zhileng County.

In addition to the soldiers holding rifles, there were thirty-six machine gun groups deployed at a distance of 300 meters away from the city wall.

The soldiers all pointed their guns in the direction of the city wall.

Everything was ready, and the artillerymen stopped shelling.

At this time, a team of a hundred people got up from the ground and rushed towards the gap.

The shelling stopped, and Cochin soldiers immediately stood up from the city wall to observe the situation.

Seeing Dasong soldiers arriving at the city, they immediately raised their guns and fired.

At this moment, the sound of "ta da da..." resounded throughout the battlefield.

Thirty-six machine guns immediately covered the city wall. Under the dense rain of bullets, Cochin soldiers with guns raised continued to fall.

The hundred-man team arrived at the gap under cover. When they looked inside, they saw many Cochin soldiers aiming their guns at them.

"Bang bang bang..." There was a burst of gunfire, bullets flew towards them, and they immediately climbed down.

Some bullets flew overhead.

"Fuck them, kill them!" Xiao Qi, the team leader, shouted.

The soldiers pulled out grenades and threw them.

There was a roar and immediately killed many Cochin soldiers.

However, in order to block the gap, more and more Cochin soldiers gathered around.

It was obviously impossible to break through the gap relying on a hundred of them.

The information was conveyed through sign language.

Other Qinglong Army soldiers immediately picked up the ladder and launched an all-out charge towards the city wall, creating a breakthrough opportunity for the assault team.
