With the order of "fire", the first mortar sprayed out a flame tongue, and a solid iron egg weighing 60 kilograms flew into space, pulling out a high ballistic arc, and smashing it to the top of the Qing army's bastion.

Unfortunately, the first shell fell into vain and hit the pile of sandbags on the edge of the castle, causing several sandbags to fly up, and the broken sandbags spewed out the sand.

"It's not accurate to fight, the deviation is a bit too big. This thing is so muzzled to the sky, so it's hard to aim." Li Dingguo said disappointedly.

Wang Quan smiled and said, "June Jinyang, the starting shot rate of this cannon is very low, but don't worry, the second shot will definitely hit."

The gunners nervously adjusted, cleaned the barrel, adjusted the angle of the muzzle, and then changed to a launching medicine bag with a larger charge, and then stuffed the shells into the muzzle.

The thick and short mortar cannons are loading very quickly, and they are much faster to clean the barrel. Because the muzzle is short, you can stuff the mop in and clean the inner wall of the pharmacy room and the gun barrel for a circle. This time, ten mortar cannons are loaded at the same time, and the muzzle is adjusted according to the same data. The ten mortar cannons are aimed at the direction of the Qing army's bastion.

"Fire the cannon!" Wang Quan roared.

"Bang bang bang" accompanied by a swelling of gunpowder gas, ten mortar cannons spewed out flames in turn, one after another, and then another shell rose into the air and fell to the top of the Qing army's bastion.

The first shell landed accurately on the top of the bastion. The brick-and-wood castle was smashed by about 60 kilograms of iron eggs. A huge hole was broken into the roof of the brick-and-wood structure on the top. With a "scroll" sound, the bricks collapsed one after another, leaving only wooden beams. The powerful impact force also caused cracks to appear on the brick wall of the bastion.

The second shell fell, the third and fourth shells hit, the fourth shell hit the corner of the bastion, smashing a large brick wall into a crack. Ten shells, a total of six shots, the bastion that was continuously bombarded was full of holes, the roof of the flat roof collapsed, the walls were full of cracks, and there was also a shocking big crack.

"Another round of artillery bombardment can collapse with a corner fort." Wang Quan said.

In fact, the strength of this brick and wood structure is far less than that of the city wall, but the construction speed is fast. Hong Chengchou and Zhao Liangdong are attracted by the fact that the peasant army has no heavy weapons, so they built this unsolid bastion to block the movement route of the Western Army. However, this bastion is vulnerable in front of the mortar.

Just as the Daxi Army was preparing for the second round of artillery attacks, a plaque was hung in the basin, and someone cried on it: "Grandpa of Daxi Army, stop fighting, we surrender, we surrender!"

The gate of the castle was opened, and the soldiers of the Western Army rushed into the castle.

The Qing army who surrendered Green Camp was neatly knelt on the ground, waiting for the Daxi Army to accept their surrender. These Qing soldiers were originally a group of veteran soldiers. At first, they might be officers and soldiers or bandits. During the years of war between the Ming army and the bandits, they were Ming army today, and they would be bandits tomorrow, and they would return to the Ming army the day after tomorrow. Finally, the Qing army entered the pass and they became Green Camp. However, the treatment of the Qing army was better than that of the Ming army and bandits, not to mention that they were shaved and left a rat-tailed braid of money. From then on, they could only follow the Qing Dynasty wholeheartedly.

But this time, the Daxi Army that came was so powerful. A few shells knocked a Kou Fort in the castle almost collapsed. A shell just now fell from the sky and smashed a skylight for Kou Fort, the brick and wooden roof collapsed, killing and injuring dozens of people.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Qianzong of the Qing army decisively made people slaughter the white flag and surrendered to the Daxi Army. Anyway, the Qianzong of the army was also a soldier of the Daxi Army, so it would not be embarrassing to surrender again.

The Qing soldiers kneeling on the ground suddenly saw a group of Ming soldiers running towards him, holding a knife in their hands.

"Grandpa, please spare me! Grandpa, please spare me, we have surrendered, the prisoners are unknown!" The Qing soldiers kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Don't behead your head, just cut your braids." said the Ming soldiers.

The Qing soldiers of the Green Camp, whose braids were cut, were incorporated into the auxiliary soldiers by the Daxi Army, waiting for their performance in the future and then transferred to the combat soldiers. The surrendered Qing army Qianzong was also incorporated into the auxiliary soldiers, but was demoted to the auxiliary soldiers. If they make contributions in the future, they will be upgraded.

The Daxi Army, which received assistance, successively captured several castles of the Qing army. In front of the 64-pound mortar cannon, the difficult-to-break bastions built by Zhao Liangdong turned into paper-paste, one by one, and one by one was destroyed by the mortar cannon. The Qing army stationed at the bastion either surrendered or was killed.

"What? The bandits broke through more than ten castles?" Zhao Liangdong, who was in Chengdu, was shocked by the report. "How could the bandits break through the castle without cannons? Our corner castle and the outer walls have sandbags to strengthen protection. How did they blast them open?"

"It was the sky-storming cannon. They used the sky-storming cannon to bomb our castle." The defeated soldiers who fled back reported.

Zhao Liangdong roared angrily: "How dare the thieves be so rampant! When I order my troops and go out of the city to fight the bandits!"

But Zhao Liangdong himself can mobilize only the 100,000 Green Camp Army under his command. There are also Murima and Tuhai’s five thousand elite Eight Banners Army in Chengdu, and only Murima can mobilize these soldiers.

Murima is Oboi's younger brother. Like Oboi, he was a famous general of the Qing Dynasty in the early Qing Dynasty. This man had a strong martial arts skill, which made it difficult for dozens of masters to get close to him. However, now he has entered the age of firearms. No matter how high his personal force is, he will die if he encounters a firearm.

"The bandits actually started to counterattack? It's so rampant! General Zhao, please click your troops and leave 5,000 people to defend the city, and then recruit a group of civil and military soldiers to help defend the city, and all the rest go out to meet the enemy. I will lead 5,000 elite troops out of the city to assist you in the battle!" Murima agreed immediately and sent troops to assist Zhao Liangdong.

In the first year of Zhanghou in the Ming Dynasty (the so-called Zhanghou in the first year was formulated by Li Guodong and the cabinet. Because Chongzhen died last year, according to convention, the new year will be changed, but the three princes of Chongzhen were unable to come back in the north, and they didn’t know who they could come back, so the candidates and year names for succession could not be decided. So Li Guodong came up with a replacement for the first year of Zhanghou in the Ming Dynasty) On the third day of the second month, the Daxi Army arrived between Jiulong Mountain and Fengbao Mountain fifty miles south of Chengdu to set up camp. Just when the auxiliary soldiers of the Daxi Army were busy, someone came to report: "Master, Jiannu is here!"

Sun Kewang asked: "How many people have come to Jiannu?"

Ye Busuo replied: "There are more than 100,000 fake slaves, and more than 5,000 real slaves."

"I can't stand it, I'll shoot them a letter and tell them to go to fight tomorrow morning." Sun Kewang said.

Seeing the letter from Sun Kewang, Murima laughed: "The bandits are nothing more than bandits, good at harassing and fighting everywhere. Now they want to give up their strengths and make the best of their weaknesses and fight with us in line upright. That's not asking for death, or what?"

Zhao Liangdong said: "Mr. Murima, be careful of the thieves' tricks."

Murima laughed: "Conspiracy? If the bandits want to use tricks, they must be familiar with the military situation. How is their sermon cavalry compared to our Eight Banners Scouts? Behind us is the open Chengdu Plain. On the plain, I want to see how they actually fight conspiracy! If the thief retreats into the mountains, we don't pursue it. Be careful, and you won't fall into the trap."

"Sir, wise!" Zhao Liangdong quickly complimented. He also knew that the most resourceful person in the Western Army was not Sun Kewang, but Li Dingguo, who ranked second, was especially good at ambushing wars.

As long as you follow what Murima said and make steady progress, you will not fall into Li Dingguo's plan.

The next morning, the Daxi Army and the Qing Army each came out of their own barracks and arranged troops on the flat ground in front of the mountains, preparing to start a dignified frontal battle.
