C1598 The war of words in the Southern City (1/2)

The red cannon was the first to open fire to suppress the enemy. Although it was not accurate enough to be considered a flowering bomb, it still had the effect of boosting the morale of their troops as much as the battle drums.

Once the cannon opened fire, the archers and the fire blasters would begin to press down on them. Although they would be hit by the firepower of the defending army on the city wall, they still had the advantage in numbers.

Not to mention the fact that archers were far behind in terms of weapons, the usage of archers in siege warfare was actually much better than guns. This was because skilled archers could change the trajectory of their own weapons, using curved arrows to shoot into the sky and then fall directly from above the enemy's head.

After all, there were crenellations on the city walls that could provide cover for the defending troops, so most of the direct fire would be wasted on the brick wall, and the projectile trajectory would directly attack the enemy's head.

There were more than two thousand archers and fire Rod Soldiers, and they could completely suppress the enemy's firepower on the city walls. When they dodged the enemy's firepower, they would simultaneously launch an attack on the city gate with the large chariot soaked in grease.

Kinzo's collar knew that it was most efficient to use gunpowder to blow up the city gate, but unfortunately, the biggest magazine of gunpowder was inside the city. Right now, Kinzo's collar only had enough explosives to blow up the fish to eat.

Cannons lead the way, arrows fire the blunderbuss, fire attacks the city gates … In the end, the cavalry charged against the enemy's bullets and killed the rebel army while they were still alive.

The plan was perfect, but unfortunately, it was carried out a little too late. If the cavalry had been deployed two or three hours earlier, then the outcome of the coup would have been hard to predict.

Just when the Kinzo's collar rode his horse to boost the morale of his men and made a big promise to reward them afterwards, the Vice General Lin went into the city.

”Kinzo's collar! Remember me, Old Lin? Five years ago, when the capital was giving its report, you and I had traveled more than two hundred miles! Did you forget about this friendship? ”

Kinzo's collar looked up and was immediately furious when he heard that. The one with the surname Lin! I didn't expect it to be you … Which part of our Black Dragon River has enmity with you? How dare you rebel! Aren't you afraid of the nine familial extermination? ”

”Bullshit nine familial extermination!” To tell you the truth, we are the Qing King's side! T?pchin connected with foreign countries, colluded with the Russian, and privately released the Black Dragon River border guards, allowing those Cossack s to fight the Bravehearts of the far east! ”This is selling the country …”

”Kill the traitor!” The Hunchun General's name was recorded in history... You all should take the opportunity to wake up from your daze.

There was a buzz below the city, and the soldiers started whispering, ”So the rumors were true?” Did the Ningguta really cause trouble for the Russian? Or was it our general who let him in? ”This is wicked …”

”Shh …” Keep it down, we're fighting! ”We don't care about what's going on up there, and we don't know if it's true or not. Why do you care about being a soldier and eating food?”

”It's not a matter of food, it's a f * * king national war!” It's one thing to close the door and let the Russian in, what's wrong with it? ”

The matter of T?pchin allowing the Russian to enter the country was obviously not something that would be openly announced. Furthermore, the route to the army of the Russian was the surface of the Songhua River, which was the dividing line between the Hun Chun and T?pchin's defense.

If he could hide it, then so be it. This was the motto of the officials of the late Qing. The guards of the Qiqihar actually did not know the truth of the Cossack's transit.

However, rumors spread very quickly. There was indeed a group of people in the army who were trying to confirm this, but they were still curious and wanted to know more about it.
