On top of the city tower, Seto saw the Yan army attacking and immediately shouted:

"Keep them away from the walls!"

The battlements are covered with various long-range weapons, the most common of which are bed crossbows. In addition, there are twenty artillery pieces, which were obtained from the Tower Flag State earlier. However, these items are expensive to make. These twenty artillery pieces It was brought to Akihito by the tower flag country previously for display.

Akihito's original intention was to seize silver by attacking Yan State and then use it to purchase more artillery with Taqi State. However, the expected victory did not last long. Donghai soon lost and the deal was shelved.

But now facing the Yan Kingdom's offensive, Akihito has already taken out all his money, and all the weapons at his disposal have been allocated to the soldiers and horses here.

The artillery has been set up, and the crossbows are aimed at the fiercely attacking Yan army, waiting for them to get close before firing.

Outside the city, hundreds of chariots moved forward unstoppably, pulled by war horses, but as the distance shortened, their speed gradually slowed down.

"Stop! Set up the artillery!"

At the end, a loud shout sounded, hundreds of chariots stopped advancing, and the Yan soldiers aimed their artillery at the tower!

This distance is exactly within the range of artillery. Compared with traditional siege methods, with the support of these long-range firearms, using powerful firepower to defeat city defenses is the most effective way!

General cannons, Folang machine cannons, and hundreds of artillery pieces were all aimed at the city tower at this moment. The Yan soldiers had already taken out their fire sticks, and they shouted "Fire!"!

"呲呲呲."

The fuse was ignited, and thick smoke was rising at this moment!

Then, there was the sudden sound of thunder!

"Bang bang bang!"

Almost instantly, hundreds of shells were shot out from the dark boring tubes of the hundreds of artillery pieces!

The next moment, these numerous and powerful cannonballs were shot into the long tower!

The Japanese soldiers on the city tower knew that the Yan army was very powerful and they also knew that they had powerful long-range weapons, but they did not expect that at this time, they could bring out so many artillery to attack the city!

These weapons seemed to come out of thin air, but when these cannonballs fell into the tower, they felt so real!

"Boom boom boom!"

Almost instantly, the tower suffered a devastating blow!

Although Seto had ordered the few artillerymen to start shooting when the Yan army stopped advancing, and the crossbowmen also fired crossbow arrows intensively, but in the face of this crushing artillery bombardment, their means of resistance failed. It's like it's made of paper.

Before the crossbowmen fired a few arrows, the wooden crossbows had been shattered by these artillery pieces, and the splintered wood fragments even scratched the surrounding soldiers.

But compared to the damage caused by these wood chips, the damage caused by the shells is even more shocking!

There were lead bullets and iron bullets in the cannonballs. If these extremely hard things were shot into the human body, it would be directly destroyed. The flesh and blood body was no different from soft soil in front of them.

When the first round of cannonballs came, countless Japanese soldiers on the tower were hit in the body. Whether it was their hands, feet, chests, or heads, they shattered and exploded the moment they came into contact with the cannonballs!

Large amounts of blood, pieces of flesh, and tattered internal organs were sprinkled all over the tower. Whether it was the ground, the inner walls, or the battlements, all kinds of body parts were instantly covered with debris.

Seto's face was pale, and he was squatting on the ground with his back against the battlement.

Although he kept roaring for the soldiers to attack, at this time, everyone was busy with themselves, and those long-range weapons were destroyed to an unknown extent.

Even though there were still remaining weapons, no one could get up and fight back in the face of this intensive artillery attack.

Outside the city, the Fo Lang machine cannon that could fire continuously was shooting at the city tower.

When the leading group of artillery fired one round and began to load ammunition, the second group of artillery in the rear began to fire, and so on. The entire bombardment process was connected smoothly and naturally, barely giving the Japanese soldiers on the tower a moment to breathe.

Time gradually passed, and after more than a dozen rounds of shelling, the tower outside Jiangjiang was completely devastated, and not a single Japanese soldier could be seen standing!

Not only that, this indiscriminate bombardment even left the city walls riddled with holes. Although Fuso's city walls can withstand crossbows, they have been built for hundreds of years. How could they have been thought of at the beginning of their construction? will be attacked by such weapons in the future.

The city tower was already covered with corpses, and most of them were broken limbs. The bones crushed by the bombardment were mixed with the sticky blood, making the entire city tower look bloody and like hell.

As the commander-in-chief of the garrison in charge of the outer tower, Seto did not even escape from the tower like a few soldiers. When he looked out from the battlements, he was shot squarely in the forehead by a lead bullet!

At this moment, he was lying on the ground, the upper half of his head had disappeared, leaving the lower half of his distorted face.

At this point, all living forces on the outer city tower had been destroyed, and Yan Jun finally moved forward again at this moment.

The chariot continued to move forward. Xu Da and Chang Yuchun led the soldiers to charge forward. Without the enemy's interception, they arrived at the city gate in just a moment!

The city gate was naturally closed. Although the Japanese soldiers on the city tower had been killed, there were still defenders inside the city.

Chang Yuchun shouted:

"Blow the city gate to pieces!"

There is no need for siege hammer anymore, three general cannons are aimed at the city gate!

Then, "Bang, bang, bang!"

When the cannon sounded, the shells roared forward and shot directly into the city gate.

The solid city gate shook for a while, but the door was not penetrated and the cannonball was embedded in the door.

In order to cope with this siege, the Japanese soldiers reinforced the city gate. They nailed multiple layers of wooden boards behind the door and supported it with thick wood. The entire city gate was very strong!

Although the city gates have become thicker and even difficult to open from the inside, there is no doubt that they can prevent the Yan soldiers from entering!

only--

It doesn't stop the endless firing of shells!

"Cum again! Cum all the way through me!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Several general cannons were aimed at the city gate and began to launch a continuous bombardment!

Behind the city gate, the Japanese soldiers hiding in the distance had changed their expressions at this moment. Seeing that the city gate was being bombarded continuously, they were feeling very nervous.

Because the previous cannonballs were fired too many and too densely, they had no choice but to retreat away from the city wall and to the rear. Therefore, they did not dare to go to the city gate to intercept them now.

Chai Qi, the commander of the defenders, had his eyes wide open at this moment. He had already drawn his samurai sword, but the sharp weapon in his hand did not make him feel the slightest sense of security.

Separated by a wall, the enemies outside the door are as ferocious as wild beasts. Once they enter the city, it will be a brutal and bloody battle!

At this time.

"Bang bang bang!"

Several cannonballs were fired into the city from the city gate!

Immediately afterwards, more and more cannonballs were shot in. After all, the reinforced city gate was still unable to withstand the fierce cannonballs. It was already in pieces!
