"fire."
With Lu Qing's order, the cannon regiment began to fire.
The other red cannons also fired. It's better than nothing, and it will be more or less effective.
No matter how bad it is, it can strengthen its momentum and create a deterrent to the enemy's psychology.
A large number of shells hit the city wall, and those solid iron **** were ridiculed by the heavy city wall without exception.
And at this time, those armor-piercing projectiles were showing off.
Limited by the current cannon technology, the power of these armor-piercing projectiles is actually not particularly great.
Immediately afterwards, the pierced part exploded, blowing up the masonry.
Wherever the armor-piercing projectile hits, it leaves a big pit, just like a big scar.
However, it is still far from blowing down the city wall. The wall is so thick that the ghost knows how much effort the Spaniards had spent in building it.
"That is how the matter?"
Francisco's smile gradually disappeared, and he suddenly felt a bad feeling when he saw the flying masonry.
For a while, his subordinates didn't know what was going on.
Moreover, the Chinese Army’s artillery was so dense that they did not dare to go and check it.
However, there is no need to go over and check it. After a few rounds of bombing, they can clearly see that some of the city walls have been severely damaged.
"What kind of shell is this?"
Francisco asked again, but no one responded.
In their cognition, the larger the volume and the larger the mass of the shell, the more powerful it is.
However, in the artillery positions of the Chinese Army, there is no particularly large artillery.
If there were any guns of the level of shore defense guns, they would be able to see them at a glance.
Moreover, even that kind of artillery could not be so powerful.
Before the emergence of the rifled gun, the damage of the shells to the walls of Lingbao was extremely limited. Otherwise, Western Europeans would not fall in love with such a military fortress.
"Look, it seems that it was shot from a cannon with a very long barrel."
An officer pointed to the direction of the cannon regiment in the Chinese army.
Several other officers with binoculars raised their binoculars one after another, and then saw the distinctive cannons in the Chinese army.
Although I don't know why this kind of artillery is so powerful, at least it is certain that this kind of artillery brought disaster.
"Pull the artillery up the city wall, aim at the enemy's long-barreled artillery, and destroy the dozen or so artillery pieces."
Francisco said.
In fact, there are still a batch of artillery in their city, but no matter how the Chinese army bombed them before, they did not come out to bomb them.
Because they know that their dozens of artillery are not worth fighting against the Chinese army.
They have been keeping it, wanting to wait for the Chinese army to launch a large-scale general offensive, and then suddenly take it out to slaughter the infantry.
This is a trick left by Francesco, but at this time, out of fear of the Chinese cannon, he can no longer take care of it.
Solving the current problem is the key.
The Spaniards took action, a cannon was moved to the city wall, and launched a counterattack.
The artillery of the Chinese Army immediately became happy. They had been trying to push out the enemy's artillery and failed to succeed. As a result, they did not dare to launch a general offensive casually.
Well now, the enemy's artillery finally appeared.
Those ordinary artillerymen who had nothing to do when destroying the city wall were replaced by howitzers at this time, and then the artillerymen aimed at the enemy began to fire at each other.
They can't beat the city wall, but they can kill the artillery.
Not only them, but even the Cannon Regiment also suspended their attack on the city wall at this time, instead aiming their guns at the enemy's artillery.
After all, the city wall is a dead thing, there is no threat to them, and it can be hit anytime.
And the enemy's artillery, although the lethality is touching, but after all, it is still a bit lethal.
These artillery soldiers who operate the cannon are all the treasures who have studied and have a high education, and the death of Lv Qing will feel distressed.
In order to avoid unnecessary losses, the enemy’s artillery has become the priority target.
As a result, the Spaniard's artillery suffered immediately.
The number of artillery of the Chinese Army was seven or eight times that of the Spaniards, and the lethality of the artillery shells was even greater, and the artillery had more experience.
The Chinese artillery, with many advantages, immediately took the absolute advantage after turning the muzzle, and beat the Spaniard's artillery.
It was terrible. Some artillery groups were bombarded by two shells at the same time, and the shrapnel shot almost without dead ends.
A whole group of people was bombed in this way, and ten would not save three.
What was even worse was the artillery group hit by the cannon, and the huge explosive power blew up people.
The people at the center of the explosion had no bones left.
At that moment, many Spanish artillerymen collapsed directly.
"Your Excellency, you can't fight anymore, let the artillery retreat."
Someone has hurried suggestions.
Those are precious artillery, not cheap infantry.
The training of every artilleryman is not easy, and they cannot afford to lose.
Francisco wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then gave an order for the artillery to retreat.
He knew that he couldn't shoot at the artillery of the Chinese Army, and he also knew that it would be impossible to withdraw the artillery.
However, he had no choice.
Everyone watched as the city wall was gradually thinned, and there were large gaps in some places.
At this rate, within two hours, their walls would be blown up.
At that time, they will be safe to defend.
"Your Excellency, or we should raise the white flag and surrender."
Castro persuaded that he finally understood why the Chinese army was so arrogant yesterday, and it was already too late to regret.
Now, they have no choice but to surrender.
"Surrender, will they let us go if they surrender? Ordered to be prepared to defend the gap. The Chinese are all cowards and can't afford the loss at all, otherwise they would have launched a general offensive long ago.
Therefore, as long as we guard the gap and cause some damage to them, we can force them back. "
Francisco said angrily.
From Dahua's attitude yesterday, he realized that he had missed the opportunity to surrender.
If you surrender at this time, the ordinary soldier below will definitely get a life back, but he, and those high-ranking officials, will definitely not end well, and there is a high probability that they will be put to death.
It is better to fight to the death.
In his opinion, Hua Jun is more afraid of death, and he still has a chance.
After being reminded by Francisco, several commanders also strengthened their determination to resist.
However, the determination is made, but the fear inside is also lingering.
They are all scared, afraid that the Chinese army will invade, and their lives will not be guaranteed.
The Spaniards are still laying defense lines in the city, while the Chinese artillery continues to bombard wildly.
About two hours later, a hole tens of meters long was finally blown out on that city wall.
Subsequently, the Chinese army also issued the order of the general attack.
At this moment, the Marines had waited for more than half a month, and they were already suffocated.
