The rebels rushed in front of the refugees as cannon fodder, carrying soil and sandbags to fill the trenches and moats, destroying the wooden stakes outside the city, allowing large-scale siege weapons to approach the city.

Unexpectedly, the muskets of the Jinyang Army's infantry were very powerful. Five thousand musket gunmen, including 1,400 turtle dove-legged gunmen, were divided into seven rows of rounds of shooting, with 200 people in each row, concentrated in the south of the main attack of the rebel army. Starting from 150 steps away, the turtle dove-legged guns were continuously fired. Each round of guns sounded, and a large area of ​​refugees who were densely packed with a hundred steps away would fall down. After almost every projectile penetrated one person, it would have to penetrate two or three people behind it before it would lose its kinetic energy.

"What a powerful musket!" Gao Mingheng kept praising him.

"I didn't expect that so many turtle dove-legged guns could be concentrated in turn to shoot. This big gun is not afraid of explosions." Chen Yongfu said. His army also has heavy muskets such as turtle dove-legged guns, but which soldier dared to install enough gunpowder to fire those big guns supervised by the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of Works? When firing, the archers must be careful, for fear of explosions and blowing themselves to death.

At the same time, fifty light Folang machines were fired, and those 100-pound Folang cannons. Each cannon was equipped with ten sub-guns, which was twice as many as the Folang cannons used by other troops in the Ming Dynasty! The Folang cannons of the Ming army were equipped with five sub-guns, because after five rounds, they would explode after firing. At this time, one person needed to load the sub-guns and another person to cool the Folang cannons. The Folang cannons used by the Jinyang army can shoot ten rounds in a row and not explode.

The shot gun was thrown to the Minzhuang who helped defend the city, and asked them to help load gunpowder and projectiles.

"Don't worry if you have enough gunpowder! You will never explode!" Wu Biao shouted to the people who helped load gunpowder projectiles.

The ammunition of the Folang Jizi Gun is also fixed, but there is no medicine bag. Instead, the gunpowder is distributed and placed in bamboo tubes. The gunpowder in each bamboo tube is exactly the amount of fire. When loading, just pour the gunpowder in the bamboo tube into the gun, compact it, and fill it with the projectile.

After ten rounds of light Folang machine, the ten guns that had been fired were not loaded. At this time, the Folang machine gunners began to cool the cannon. They poured cold water into the cannon chamber, poured out the hot hot water, poured cold water on the cannon barrel, and then wiped it with a mop to complete the cooling.

The turtledove-legged gun naturally also needs to be cooled. After 1,400 turtledove-legged gunmen finished ten rounds, the soldiers inserted the big gun into the bucket, and white water vapor appeared in the bucket. When the gun tube cooled down, they pulled out the big gun and scrubbed it with a rag to clean it.

During the firepower of the light Folang machine cannon and the turtledog-footed gun, there were bird gunners replenished, and 3,500 bird gunners were also divided into seven rows of rounds. At this time, the refugees had rushed within seventy steps from the city, which was within the effective range of the bird gun. Only the sound of the guns was heard was continuous, and blood mist was sprayed out from the body of the refugees, falling into a pool of blood.

There were also Chen Yongfu's general artillery, Folang machine, tiger squat cannon and other firearms on the top of the city. The yellow-faced refugees fell down screaming. They either threw themselves forward to the ground or fell backwards, and many people even rolled into the moat.

Within fifty steps, the Jinyang Army's Folang cannon and Turtle Dove-footed gun had cooled down, and the loaded shotguns were all filled with shotguns.

"Boom boom boom" light Folang machine and turtle dove foot gun sprayed out rows of fire, and the casualties of the refugees who were being fired by bird guns suddenly increased. The fallen people were not in pieces, nor in rows, but fell one after another. In just a moment, the moat under the city was covered with wounded and corpses, and the choking smell of blood spread rapidly.

"King! The firearm of the Guangouzi is so powerful! Our people have fallen down more than 4,000 people before they fill the moat!" Li Yan asked Li Zicheng to withdraw his troops, "If this continues, many people will not be enough for the Guangouzi to kill him! King, from the perspective of students, it is better to give up the attack and open the seal. We will manage the southern Henan, western Henan, and northern Hubei, and then attack Xi'an, so that we will have a large territory and can compete with the court."

"King, if Kaifeng is in the hands of Guan Gouzi, it will be a great threat to us!" Niu Jinxing insisted on killing Kaifeng, "We have 1.3 million people, how much ammunition can Guan Gouzi have to consume? It would be a good idea to exchange a pack of gunpowder and several projectiles!"

"Niu Jinxing!" Li Yan shouted at his name, "You are simply careless! Now they are all people who have entered the camp. They should produce food and build weapons for us, rather than use them to die in vain!"

Li Zicheng widened his one-eye and shouted at Li Yan: "Mr. Li, Mr. Niu is right. If Kaifeng is not taken, our army in the Central Plains will be attacked from both sides! No matter how big the sacrifice is, we must take Kaifeng! Mr. Li doesn't have to persuade him anymore!"

"No!" Li Yan bowed helplessly and retreated.

The rebel army came to open the seal this time, and the preparations were done very well, conquering more than one million refugees, bringing a large number of simple ladders, simple trench bridges, large ladder vehicles, large trench bridge vehicles, tower guard vehicles, well railings, storms, storms, collision vehicles and other weapons, as well as red cannons and general cannons.

"Issue to avoid cannons! The thief is about to fire!" He Xing shouted.

The rebel army had already set up heavy artillery such as red barbarian cannons, general cannons, and launched violent artillery bombardment at the Kaifeng city wall. The rebel army brought this time there were 36 red barbarian cannons, more than 100 general cannons, eighty-four Weiyuan cannons, as well as more than 400 small artillery such as large and small Folang machine, tiger squat cannons, and destroying cannons!

Although the Jinyang Army infantry was elite, the largest caliber was only a light Folang machine, which fired five-two-level projectiles, with an effective range of only two hundred steps, followed by the turtledove-legged gun, with an effective range of one hundred and fifty steps, and it was impossible to launch a counterattack with the artillery of the trespassing army with a range of four or five hundred steps. When the trespassing army fired, the Jinyang Army infantry could only avoid the cannon.

The Luoyang defenders do not have many artillery artillery, and there are only four red-brand cannons that can pose a threat to the rebel army. The general cannons and Weiyuan cannons together are only more than twenty. The rest are small cannons such as light Folang aircraft and tiger squat cannons. The firepower is not the same level as the rebel army.

The iron balls of all sizes were densely packed on the city wall, splashing sharp bricks and gravels, and the shells of the red cannons hit the city wall, and you could feel the city wall shaking.

Many civilians and refugees who helped defend the city could not bear such torture. They shouted and jumped up, ran around the city, but were hit by shells that crossed the city, and turned into scattered blood and flesh.

"Everyone hid his head and butts. The cannons of the trespassing army cannons can do us!" He Xing lay behind a pile of sandbags and shouted at the soldiers beside him.

Jinyang Army was prepared for the artillery attacks of the riot army. They piled up sandbags behind the female wall at the top of the city. The height of the sandbags was just at the brigade. When the riots fired, Jinyang Army hid behind the sandbags. The absorption capacity of the sand could absorb the gravel and broken bricks caused by the shells, and would not hurt the soldiers behind them. However, those civilians and refugees had no experience in this area. They felt that the city wall was shaking and could not bear it mentally, so they jumped up and ran around, but were beaten into pieces by the shells.

While the rebels bombarded the city walls, they allowed refugees to take the opportunity to fill the trenches, cut off wooden stakes and Luzhai outside the city, and fill the moat, opening up the road for the advancement of large-scale siege weapons.
