After continuing to march for a few days, Wu Jun finally arrived in Yancheng.

It wasn't until this time that Fan Yuchuan finally became worried, and felt that it was irrational to continue to confront Wu Jun. So, he took the initiative to send an envoy to Wu Jun's camp and begged to see Tang Guozhen.

Fan Yuchuan asked the envoy to speak, and he made some concessions, saying that he did not require all his troops to be retained, only three thousand men would be retained.

This kind of insincere, joking negotiation, Tang Guozhen directly ignored it, and let people throw the messenger out.

"Go back and tell the one surnamed Fan, and immediately open the city gate to accept the adaptation, otherwise he won't even have the chance to surrender when we launch the attack."

Tang Guozhen was disgusted by that guy, and rarely let out cruel words.

In fact, from a sensible point of view, such cruel remarks are unnecessary, and they can easily irritate Fan Yuchuan and strengthen Fan Yuchuan's faith in holding fast.

This will increase the difficulty of Wu's siege and increase the casualties.

However, Tang Guozhen was obviously emotional and did not pay attention to such details.

He was exasperated by Fan Yuchuan's stupid arrogance. You must know that even someone who is stronger than Fan Yuchuan surrendered, he didn't dare to negotiate terms with Wu Jun like this.

After driving away Fan Yuchuan's messenger, Tang Guozhen ordered the immediate construction of a siege ladder.

In order to reduce the logistical pressure, they did not bring any siege equipment, and the siege equipment could only be manufactured temporarily.

Only a few simple siege ladders can be made temporarily, and other slightly more complicated stair cars cannot be made if they rush and crash. These things with a little technical content have to be done by professional craftsmen, and ordinary people can't handle them.

After a day of preparation, Tang Guozhen launched an attack the next day.

On the city wall, Fan Yuchuan was gnashing his teeth.

He believes that he has taken the initiative to send an envoy to lower the requirements as a sign of sincerity. But he didn't expect Tang Guozhen to be so shameless.

It's really unreasonable that he didn't even go through this step of counter-offer negotiation and just drove his own messenger back.

He vowed to make Tang Guozhen pay the price.

"All cheer up, Wu Jun is nothing remarkable. They only have less than ten thousand people, and we have twelve thousand. We are superior in number, and we still have city walls."

Fan Yuchuan shouted, followed by a group of soldiers shouting.

He was able to be the emperor of the earth in Yancheng because he had a group of **** loyalists of about 3,000 people, veterans who had been with him for many years and had been domineering and blessing for many years.

Looking at these high-spirited men, Fan Yuchuan's confidence has increased a bit.

With the whistle in the distance, Fan Yuchuan saw the legendary flintlock army.

All kinds of battle reports and gossip have blown the flintlock spears fascinatingly, but Fan Yuchuan has not seen it with his own eyes, but he can't intuitively experience it.

Seeing those Wu Jun soldiers walking side by side with their long spears, Fan Yuchuan didn't understand.

Wu Jun's people who are resisting the ladder are still behind. What does it mean that those people are walking in the front?

Besides, it’s inconvenient to climb a ladder with that kind of spear. How can you attack the city?

Can't figure it out, Fan Yuchuan just thinks Wu Jun is funny.

Soon, Wu Jun told him the answer.

The flintlock soldiers walked to a distance of 100 meters from the city wall, then put down their guns, reloaded, raised their guns, and fired volleys.

As the gunfire sounded, the soldiers who had been watching Wu Jun curiously fell down seven or eight.

Some died directly and died. Some were not hit, lying on the wall and wailing.

Fan Yuchuan was taken aback, not that he hadn't seen a musket, but he hadn't seen this way of fighting.

The firecrackers in his army did not adopt such a salvo tactic. At the same time, they would not shoot so far apart.

Now that Wu Jun came in this way, he seemed to be inspired a little, and ordered: "Order our archers and firegun soldiers to fight back."

He has five hundred archers and five hundred fire gunners under his staff, which is all his long-range power.

As the order was issued, the other soldiers lowered their heads to prevent being shot.

But the archers and the firecrackers were in place and began to fight back.

What Fan Yuchuan expected was that relying on his superiority, one thousand people could barely make a tie with Wu Jun's two thousand flintlock soldiers.

However, after the two sides fought, he was surprised by the result.

Wu Jun shot a volley and directly killed more than 20 people on their side.

In their volley, Wu Jun fell less than ten.

It seems that they are not particularly disadvantaged in a single attack, but Wu Jun's rate of fire is fast.

Soon Wu Jun completed the new reloading, and the Qing Army's firecrackers were still pouring gunpowder into the barrel to compact it. The archer had already re-arranged his arrows to counterattack.

In this round of shooting, the Qing army suffered a greater loss, and they still lost nearly 20 people.

However, Wu Jun only fell six in this round.

Many arrows fell into Wu Jun's formation, but unless they hit the torso of the body, they couldn't hurt Wu Jun.

Those Wu Jun soldiers were wearing very high-quality helmets, and arrows shot on them. At most, they could only make Wu Jun soldiers dizzy for a while, but they couldn't hurt them.

The power of the blunderbuss can break the defense, but the rate of fire is too slow and the hit is low.

After several rounds of shooting, the Qing army's archers and the fire guns squatted down in fright, and didn't want to conduct such a pair of shootings anymore.

This is just a cup of tea. More than 100 people have died on their side, and the loss rate has exceeded 10%.

At this rate, their ability to hold another cup of tea would collapse.

"These people don't learn a lesson at all."

Wu Jun's officer spit out.

"This Fan Yuchuan is not the core army of the Qing army, and the battle reports obtained may not be detailed enough."

Another general guessed that the main force of the Qing army they had encountered before was much smarter than Fan Yuchuan's soldiers, and had thought of a lot of native methods to make up for the disadvantages of equipment.

Now Fan Yuchuan did not learn from the experience of those Qing army's main forces, which means that Fan Yuchuan did not get a detailed battle report.

Seeing that the Qing army was no longer appearing, Wu Jun’s sword and shield soldiers carried the ladder and proceeded to attack the city.

Following them are grenadiers, the walls of Yancheng are not high, and their grenadiers are very useful.

"The enemy is here, so **** get up for me, personally supervise the battle."

Fan Yuchuan said angrily.

His soldiers immediately went to various places to supervise the battle, forcing the archers and firecrackers to fight back. Can't just watch Wu Jun approaching, the city is not guarded like this.

Those archers reluctantly got up while scolding their mother.

However, when they came together, Wu Jun's gunfire sounded again.

"Damn it."

Fan Yuchuan yelled at him, and it was only then that he knew how powerful this flintlock was.

With this thing, at this stage when the siege is close to the city wall, soldiers can arrive without injury.

This is unimaginable in traditional siege battles. In previous siege battles, at least hundreds of corpses had to be dropped by the siege party through this section of the road.

Now, a flintlock has solved this problem.
