Rows of arrows flew up to the city walls and the city walls were densely packed with arrows, and it looked like a layer of reeds suddenly grew. The defenders at the city immediately raised a large shield to help the crossbowmen block the light arrows shot by the Qing army. The crossbowmen were loading and could not counterattack for a while.

The fire tongue suddenly spurted out in the shooting hole again, and the turtledove-footed gun, Lumi gun and Taixi rifled rifled firearms were fired. The firearm effectively made up for the fire gap of crossbow arrows. Bullets of different sizes pierced into the Qing army archers crowd, knocking down many archers.

"Hurry, shield car array protection!" A Qing army officer shouted in a loud voice.

The Qing soldiers of the Green Camp drove Min Zhuang and the auxiliary soldiers and pushed the shield chariot up. The archers of the Eight Banners and the Green Camp ran behind the shield chariot, trying to continue shooting arrows at the top of the city with the protection of the shield chariot.

Qing soldiers archers hid behind the sturdy shield chariots, and neither crossbow arrows nor various muskets could penetrate the shield chariots. The mortars on the turrets on the city's turrets were able to attack these shield chariots, as they were below the shortest range, and the range of throwing firearms such as ten thousand people, gunpowder tanks, and gunpowder packs were not enough.

At this time, Li Guodong ordered: "Let the turtledove-legged gunman prepare the gun and shoot the flowering bullet."

The gun-firing flowering bullet is a new weapon, and its real name is a rifle grenade. In fact, this weapon is not a new weapon in Europe. As early as the end of the 16th century, Europeans invented the rifle grenade, which is a wooden flowering bullet, which is fired with a heavy convex rope gun. When loading, fill the heavy convex rope gun with gunpowder, but do not load the projectile, insert the long wooden pole into the muzzle, then pull the trigger, ignite the launching medicine with the fuse, and fire the grenade.

The wooden flowering bullets fired by the turtledove-legged guns weigh about four kilograms and have a range of seventy steps. This is longer than the range of gunpowder arrows with bows and arrows, and just makes up for the minimum range of the mortar. However, a guy who is so big on the muzzle can't reach out from the shooting hole.

After receiving the order, more than 100 turtledove-legged gunmen climbed the city and avoided attacks by Qing archers under the protection of the shield.

The turtledoubled gunman took out a fixed-loading cartridge without a bullet from his body. In fact, it can also be called an empty-packing bullet. He stuffed the fixed-loading empty-packing bullet from the muzzle and compacted it with a strip. Then he stuffed a wooden rod of a grenade into the muzzle, then took out the medicine guide pot, squeezed the medicine guide into the medicine pool, covered the medicine pool cover, and then completed the filling.

"Prepare!" Wang Quan roared.

Under the protection of the shield player, the turtledove-legged gunman extended the gun barrel from the battlement of the city wall, and raised the gun slightly to aim at the group of Qing army shield vehicles seventy steps below the city.

"Let me go!" Wang Quan shouted.

The turtledove-legged gunman first ignited the fuse of the grenade, then pulled the trigger, the cover of the medicine pool was opened, and the fuse was pressed into the medicine pool, and only a row of dull guns was heard. The grenades flew towards the shield array seventy steps away from the city with the burning flames of the fuse.

Seeing a row of black guys flying towards him with Mars, the Qing army auxiliary soldiers and archers felt something was wrong, and they threw down their shields and turned around and ran away.

Grenades falling into the Qing army's shield formation exploded one after another, and the explosions were connected in a row. Pig iron fragments mixed with the exploded wooden board fragments flying everywhere. Amid the violent explosion, the Qing army's archers and musketeers fell down a large area.

However, the power of the grenade was still a little less, and it failed to shatter the Qing army shield chariot. Most of the Qing army shield chariots were blown away by a few wooden boards, which were basically intact. However, many of the auxiliary soldiers, archers and musketeers behind the shield chariots were killed and injured.

Seeing that the grenades did not destroy the shield chariot very well, Li Guodong ordered: "The small cannon loads the shells and breaks the Tartars shield chariot!"

With one Folang machine, the general's cannon no longer bombarded the Qing army auxiliary soldiers who filled the moat under the city with shotgun, but replaced them with solid shells and aimed at the Qing army shield chariot arrays lined up seventy steps away. The gunners lit the cannons, and with the roaring sound of cannons, a shell hit the shield of a shield chariot immediately smashed to pieces. The wooden boards of the shield chariot were broken, and the pieces of wood flew across them, and they were beaten into a pile of chopping firewood.

"Push the shield cart back!" someone shouted.

The Qing army auxiliary soldiers and Min Zhuang who had just dropped sandbags into the moat turned around and ran away, but most of them couldn't escape. The bullets and crossbow arrows shot from the top of the city nailed the Qing army auxiliary soldiers and Min Zhuang one by one to the ground.

Seeing his Green Camp Army suffer heavy losses, Liu Liangzuo and other Green Camp generals were so heartbroken that their mouths kept twitching. Those Green Camp soldiers, but the capital he had defected to the Qing Dynasty, would they still use him in the future? I am afraid that he would just throw away a free job for them, but his life would be good, but Duoduo was afraid that they would cut their heads in anger.

Just as Liu Liangzuo and others were watching their Green Camp soldiers suffer heavy losses and suffering, they finally heard the long-awaited sound of gold.

"Get out quickly!" Liu Liangzuo shouted anxiously.

The Qing army's attack was repelled again. In this round of siege, the Qing army even left more than 2,000 corpses without even touching the city wall. The auxiliary soldiers and the people were killed. Duoduo did not feel sorry for him at all. Some of the Green Camp soldiers were killed, and Duoduo would not feel sorry for him. What he felt sorry for was that more than 100 Manchu Eight Banners archers, more than 150 Mongolian Eight Banners archers, and more than 200 Han Eight Banners firearms were also killed at the city, which was heartbreaking. In addition, more than 100 shield cars were also damaged, which also made Duoduo feel sad.

In Duoduo's eyes, the shield chariot that was finally built was much more valuable than the Green Camp Auxiliary and Minzhuang. It was not a pity that the cannon fodder died, but the shield chariot could protect the lives of the Eight Banners soldiers, so the shield chariot was more valuable than the cannon fodder.

"Continue to fire the cannon and bomb the city wall! Blast the Yangzhou city wall for me!" Duoduo roared angrily.

Kong Youde looked embarrassed: "Prince Yu, the Yangzhou city wall was originally in ruins, but since Li Laoer came to Yangzhou, he has spent a lot of money to rebuild the city wall. If it were only bombarded with red cannons, it would be difficult to bombard it for three or five months."

Boro next to him came up with a plan: "Master, I have a trick to kill someone to the top of the city as soon as possible."

"What's the trick of nephew?" Duoduo was overjoyed.

Boluo said: "Prince, you can ask the Green Camp soldiers to escort Min Zhuang to continue to fill the moat. When Minggou on the top of the city fires guns and arrows under the city, we will let Wu Zhenchao launch a bombardment and bombard the city, which will surely kill Minggou guarding the city!"

"Okay! Just follow this plan! King Gongshu, prepare. Once the Ming dog on the top of the city fires his gun, your red cannon will aim at the top of the city and thunder!" Duoduo turned his head and said to Kong Youde with a smile.

What a poisonous plan! You don’t treat the Green Camp soldiers as humans! However, those generals surrendered later than us, so it’s normal for the master to be not human. Kong Youde said in his heart, and then knelt down and called out: “Zhe! I’ll do it now!”

After Kong Youde retreated, he immediately rushed to his artillery position and ordered the gunners to load shells. After hearing the order, he fired guns and bombarded the city.

"Prince, we may not be able to blow the Yangzhou city wall for three months." A gunner said with a disgrace.

"I'm not asking you to fire now! Wait for my order! Minggou will show up and fire the gun. You can fire again!" Kong Youde glared and shouted.

"Zhe!" The Han Eight Banners gunner quickly knelt down and hit a thousand.

The war drums rumbled and the horns roared. The Qing army began to attack again. Groups of auxiliary soldiers and Min Zhuang pushed the shield chariots. The green camp soldiers behind them held swords and guns to steer the formation, driving the auxiliary soldiers and Min Zhuang to push the shield chariots, step by step towards the direction of the city wall.
