With a loud bang, a twelve-pound cannon was the first to fire.

Immediately afterwards, the remaining seventeen guns opened fire one after another. Immediately afterwards, fifty-four six-pound guns also opened fire one after another.

Sixty-six guns opened fire together, and the momentum was terrifying.

Thick smoke and flames spewed out of the muzzle, and twelve and six-pound shot puts flew out of the muzzle, roaring towards the city walls to the east.

However, the three-pounder gun did not receive the order to open fire.

The six-pound cannon is a regiment-level artillery, and the twelve-pound cannon is a division-level artillery, which is uniformly allocated and commanded by the infantry division headquarters and the command center of this battle. The three-pound cannon is an infantry cannon that is placed at the battalion level and does not belong to the field artillery sequence.

The command of these artillery belongs to the battalion commander.

During combat, if it is assigned to the infantry squadron, the squadron leader will be responsible for use.

Obviously, these huge number of light artillery were intended to be used to suppress the marching ports. After all, the three-pound shell was too small and had limited damage to the solid city walls.

Yang Fan sat on a chair under a parasol, crossing his legs, holding a stainless steel thermos cup in his hand, and drinking the strong bird's nest in small mouthfuls. The hot coffee was particularly warm in this weather of minus 15 or 16 degrees.

The initial velocity of these cast artillery can reach about 439 meters per second. Although it is not as large as that of modern artillery, the weight of twelve pounds is enough to crack the small pieces of the city wall.

These five or six meters high city walls were all built by the Tang Dynasty.

It has been more than 800 years since then. Although it has been repaired by local forces such as the Xizhou Uighurs, the interior has long been decayed.

Fortunately, it does not rain here, and rammed earth is most afraid of wind and rain erosion, otherwise it would collapse long ago. Without the erosion of rainwater, these rammed earth walls are actually very strong.

Yang Fan wore sunglasses to block the reflection in the snow. He didn't want to be blind.

As we watched, smoke rose up in the city wall a mile away in front of us. This was caused by the shot put shells hitting the rammed earth that concentrated on the city wall, breaking the rammed earth in front.

The shells wedged deeply into the rammed earth city wall. A large area of ​​rammed earth was shaken and peeled off.

Every shell hits the city wall, it will create a shallow pit of about one meter.

A hole was punched out by a shell in the middle, and the hole cracked on all sides. At the same time, a large area collapsed and peeled off from the surrounding area.

The drought here has been for thousands of years, and the rammed earth in the city wall is very dry. Although the loess has good uprightness, it also shakes in waves under this kind of shelling.

The Heshuot people hid at the battlement, staring at the heavy artillery in horror, bombarding the wall one after another. Each shot put fell on the city wall, and it shook. It felt like the city wall and horse road under their feet were like an earthquake.

Round after round of artillery fire, endless bombardment. The sound of artillery was deafening, and the dust and smoke rising from the city walls covered the sky and the sun, and nothing could be seen on the city and under the city.

They couldn't shoot arrows either, because the dust in front of them rose dozens of meters high.

Half an hour passed, but the sound of cannons still did not stop.

The Peso people were very surprised. Will their artillery be fired so continuously, and will it not overheat?

Galedama shrank under a mercenary, shook the soil on his head, and cursed: "How come these villains have so many heavy artillery? Didn't they come from the north? That ghost place is full of sand and there is no Gobi Desert on the road. How could they pull heavy artillery? It's a hell."

Before he could complain, he felt a crack suddenly appear under his feet. He reacted very quickly and immediately ran to the side with his waist.

The crack chased him and extended it.

He heard a loud thunderous sound behind him, and the entire horse path swayed.

He was so scared that he rolled and crawled to the distance, and then a huge dust rose.

The place he was in just now collapsed.

They did not expect that this city wall, which was relatively complete in the Western Regions, was bombarded by twelve-pound cannons and six-pound cannons in just half an hour.

The collapsed city wall collapsed and a sloping slope came out, and a large number of soil and rotten reeds fell down.

At this time, the wind suddenly blew again. Although it was not the same wind here, once the wind blows, it would be very strong.

The strong wind quickly blew away the smoke and dust, revealing a large section of the city wall that collapsed.

Galedama shouted loudly: "Shoot the arrows and prepare the camel cannons, they are coming up. Block the gap."

Several centurions beat the crusty soldiers with horse whips, carrying wood and stones to fill the gap, trying to block the gap as soon as possible.

The wooden pillars were thrown down and stacked together in a mess, stuck in the gap, and then threw stones and other debris in an attempt to block the place.

But it was soon attacked by artillery fire. Twelve pounds of lead bullets hit these ten centimeter-long tree trunks and wooden posts, directly smashing the wood to pieces.

These wooden pillars were all demolished from the remaining buildings in the city. The trunks were all red willows with branches, and the gaps in the branches would be stuck and would not fall.

But in front of the twelve-pound shot put solid bullet, these things were not enough to see. They could break several wooden pillars with one shot. Soon, the whole body of these things collapsed again.

"No, it can't be blocked." A sign shouted in despair.

He had seen that more than three thousand Sorens were walking in line with their shields and the fire axes that made them afraid of. They were about to climb the city.

The defeat in the morning caused them to be scared by the Saurons.

These people are so good at fighting. They are not opponents at all. No matter in terms of physical strength, flexibility, or combat skills, they are not opponents.

What made them most desperate was that these people were proud of their archery shooting techniques, which were also a comprehensive crush.

They were all tiger bows, and they were so scary with big arrows.

One arrow can even shoot through the war horse horizontally. What a great bow force.

Yang Fan looked at the camel cannons that had already begun shooting on the city wall and said, "Let's fire the three-pound cannons, aim at the squadrons to suppress their camel cannons. Cover the Sorens infantry regiment to climb the city."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! As the command was issued, dense three-pound cannon shells roared towards the chassis at the top of the city wall.

One after another, lead bullet hits these mercenes. Each of these mercenes is two meters high and one meter wide, with an 80-centimeter gap in the middle for archery.

A three-pound cannon hit a four-meter-thick city wall, but there is no problem in hitting these marching walls that are only half a meter thick. Every lead bullet hits the marching walls, and the rammed earth flies around like an explosion.

The shooter hiding behind the mercerated wall was smashed by shot put together with the mercerated wall.

The camel cannons they set up at the mercedes are all copper cannons. The copper cannons are soft and will be deformed directly when hit by a shot put. They will be broken or bent.

The kinetic energy of the three-pound cannon is enough to break all these things.

A lead bullet passes through the wall and hits the shooter who is hiding behind, and can directly hit a large piece of the person. The person who is hit has basically no value for rescue.

As soon as the three-pound cannon fired, the battlements on the horse road of the city wall collapsed in a very short time. The archers who were guarding the city suffered heavy casualties under the shelling bombardment.

Their remaining sabers could only lie on the horse road and dared not look up.

The shells flew over their heads whistlingly, and if they stood, they would be hit by the shells.

Orchituhan was on the tower, silently looking at the smoke and dusty city walls on the east side. He knew that the city could not be defended because there was no place to hide.

Under the suppression of artillery fire, you cannot attack the enemy climbing the city downwards. How can you defend this city?

At this moment, the twelve-pound cannon and the six-pound cannon fired another round of fire.

With the dense sound of cannons, a large number of spherical solid bombs bombarded the city wall.

Four city walls collapsed.

Smoke and dust flew up all over the sky, and the collapsed blocks fell, forming a gentle slope.

There are even two gaps, which collapse at the same time inside and outside, forming a U-shaped gap.

This is no longer necessary to climb the city, and then climb up from the horse path and cross the high point, and then you can rush into the city. Even the cavalry can directly cross the gap and enter the city.

Outside the city, the cheers of the Saurons came.

They yelled excitedly, the city wall collapsed, and their chance to make a fortune came.

There are 20,000 heads in this broken city, worth one million taels of silver.
