Chapter 935 Momentum (Third)

Immediately, there was a rapid sound of police gongs from the top of Anshan Post Castle.

In the barracks, there were Jian prisoners jumping out everywhere. Some of them had disheveled helmets, and some came out barefoot without even having time to put on their shoes.Everyone had a look of panic on their faces, and they turned to look at the city over there.

The fact that the Ming army was coming to attack Anshan Post Fort, almost all the Jian captives knew that this day would come sooner or later.But they really didn't want to, and they met him on this day.Those Jianlu soldiers who arrived on duty immediately hurried to the top of the city. Some wanted to increase the thickness of the troops on the top of the city, while others were busy carrying defensive equipment.

The Jianlu guard also rushed to the top of the city. When he looked up to the south, he could already see the cavalry of the brigade coming here.After fighting for so long, the Jianlu at this time can more or less distinguish the belonging of the Ming army from the banner.They were horrified to find that among the cavalry troops that came over, there were the Ning Army, the strongest new army of the Ming Dynasty, and even the Dongjiang Army.The dust that covered the sky and the sun showed the large number of this army.

"Hurry up, hurry up, report to Liaoyang immediately, the Ming army is coming to attack in a large scale, the number is probably...about [-]!" Jianlu guard ordered his subordinates in a panic, hesitated a little when estimating the number of Ming troops, and finally A number was reported.

At this moment, the cavalry army of the Ming Dynasty had come to the front, scattered in all directions, monitoring the movement on the top of Anshan Post Fort, and some cavalry troops even galloped towards the moat, screaming and shooting arrows at the top of the city.Just like the Jianlu back then, they shamelessly humiliated the Guan Ning army hiding in the city outside the city.The riding skills of these Ming soldiers are quite good. Although they wear the same military uniforms as the Ming army, the Jianlu on the top of the city knows that these people must come from the grassland!

Behind the cavalry, there is a battalion of wagons, one after another, connecting front and back, like a long snake, swimming towards Anshan Post Fort.And on the van, there was no cover, and a large cannon was exposed.Among the Jianlu who had rich combat experience, when they saw the artillery, their faces turned pale immediately, and they exclaimed in surprise: "Hongyi Cannon!"

The Hongyi Cannon is the longest and most powerful artillery they have ever seen.It's just that in the past, the Ming army used the red barbarian cannons to defend the city, but now, the cannons are brought in one after another, just to bombard the immovable city.

Originally, they were relieved because of Anshan Post Fort's easy-to-defend, hard-to-attack, impregnable defense system.But at this moment, seeing so many Hongyi cannons brought in, all of them were at a loss.

If you want to talk about the Jianlu at this time, what is the most resentful thing?That's definitely a firearm!It's Hongyi Cannon!In the past, they didn't pay much attention to firearms, and often even laughed at them.They have no fear at all against the matchlock guns of the Ming Dynasty. As long as they make a false attack, they can attract the fire from the Ming army's musketeers, and then it is troublesome to reload. As long as the cavalry charge, they can beat the opponent to pieces. .

But now, the Ming army used Hongyi cannons to attack the city. This overbearing siege method changed the shape of the war.To say that the means that can effectively deal with it is artillery against artillery.However, Jianlu didn't have Hongyi cannons at all, and even the generals had very few cannons.Those Jianlu who had experienced the Gaizhou war once again weighed the gap in the artillery capabilities of the two sides, and suddenly, they lost any sense of security.

Today they, the gates of the city are still blocked, and they don't even have the chance to go out of the city to attack the artillery barracks of the Ming army, so they can only be beaten passively.Jianlu on the top of the wall, all of them with earthy faces, could only watch helplessly as the Ming army's chariot camp approached, getting closer.Then he calmly chose the bombardment position, and began to move the Hongyi cannon in an orderly manner, and set up the bombardment position.

At this time, almost all the Jianlu on the top of the city were attracted by those Hongyi cannons, and few people paid any attention to the troops of the Ming army that were still coming.Because they knew that the biggest threat to Anshan Post Fort was these Hongyi cannons.But even if they knew this, there was nothing they could do.

"Damn it, whoever has shit in his head, let us block the city gate!"

On the top of the city, Jianlu cursed similar words in a low voice from time to time.For them, the bravery of the past still remains in their bones.In this situation, instead of being beaten passively and having no power to fight back, it is better to rush out of the city and fight the Ming army in the field.

"Hurry up, tell Liaoyang that the Ming army has at least a dozen Hongyi cannons. Anshan Post Fort is in danger!" Jianlu guards panicked, and hurriedly sent messengers to Liaoyang.

Outside the city, groups of Diming soldiers almost filled Jianlu's field of vision.Of course, this has something to do with the fact that the open space in front of Anshan Post Castle is not open.The Ming army behind couldn't come up, so they had to stop and set up camp on the spot.The number of the Ming army is truly endless at a glance.

The gunners of the Ming army on the side of Anshan Yibao didn't even take a break, and were busy with the artillery positions.A row of red barbarian cannons lined up, with their black muzzles facing the top of the city, and the prisoners on the southern top of the city were all terrified.The Jianlu guard also realized something, and quickly ordered that only a small number of people should be left on the top of the city, and the rest of the troops should hide behind the city wall.

A stone's throw away from Anshan Post Fort, soldiers of the Ming army, who had been prepared for a long time, took tools such as hoes and began to dig the soil calmly, obviously preparing to fill the moat.And behind these Ming troops, there are teams of infantry resting, with various simple ladders placed beside them, and large equipment such as ladder carts being assembled.

All of this indicates that the Ming army will not rest and will attack the city in one go.

The commander-in-chief of the Ming army is just behind the artillery battalion. Groups of Ming soldiers surrounded their generals and pointed at the city.Judging from the banners, it is true that there are Cao Bianjiao of the New Army, Cao Wenzhao of the Guanning Army, and the tall and eye-catching Governor Denglai of the Ming Dynasty.

Among them, Cao Bianjiao even drove his horse to the front, pointed at the top of the city and the moat, and then went back to say something.Cao Wenzhao of the Guan Ning Army, whom Jianlu knew, also drove over to check nearby, and then went back to talk to the governor of Denglai. Among them, he didn't take Jianlu on the top of the city seriously at all, or It is said that they simply ignored the Jianlu on the top of the city.

It didn't take long for the artillery positions to be set up, and Jianlu who stayed on the top of the city watched in horror as the Ming army over there reloaded the Hongyi cannons.Even laymen like them can tell at a glance that the artillerymen of the Ming army are very skilled in their movements, and they are even using some tools to readjust the height of the Hongyi cannon. It looks very powerful at first glance.

Some younger Jianlu's legs shook involuntarily.
