    Those tigers were running together, and Feng Guosheng's men used it very smoothly. However, the bowl-mouth gun must be operated by them. They were only here to help fight, and they had no obligation to explain to Feng Guosheng how to use the bowl-mouth gun.  Therefore, seeing Feng Guosheng¡¯s face looking ugly, the commander of the bowl-mouth gun ignored him and kept issuing orders one by one. All the firearms hands began to continue adjusting the angles of their bowl-mouth guns.  At this time, the bowl-mouth gun already had a simple sighting system.  After another two sticks of incense, the operators of each bowl mouth gun began to report that they were ready.  "Attention, in the second round, all guns blazing!" the commander shouted.  Following his order, the soldiers holding red flags beside him waved the red flags vertically.  "Boom, boom, boom!" The earth shook, the mountains shook, and the color of the heaven and earth changed.  Twenty bowl-mouthed muskets were fired at the same time, and the sound was very loud.  Although the soldiers at the top of the city were trembling when they heard this voice, they were not worried when they thought of the extremely poor accuracy just now.  Who knows, this time, the accuracy is already quite high, and all the projectiles are hitting the city wall next to the city gate hole.  "Boom!" A projectile hit it. Suddenly, the soldiers on the top of the city trembled at their feet. At this time, the power of the projectile was actually more terrifying than the earthquake.  "Boom!" Another projectile hit accurately.  The city walls are trembling.  The ice there has fallen away a long time ago, and there is no wall brick covering it. The city wall is completely made of mud and is trembling. Fortunately, the weather is cold and the city wall has become stronger.  Twenty projectiles were fired, seventeen of which hit there accurately, but the city wall still did not fall.  The commander of Wankou Gun seemed to have anticipated this situation. He had no expression on his face and continued to order: "Reload and prepare for the second salvo." It was the established plan to blow down the city wall in one go.  Now, if it doesn¡¯t collapse once, then it¡¯s better to do it twice; if it doesn¡¯t work twice, then it¡¯s three times.  Feng Guosheng was a little anxious and wanted to urge the commander of Wankou Gun, but after thinking about it, he held back.  Without Feng Guosheng¡¯s urging, without waiting for a cup of tea, the second round of firearms started shooting again.  This time, all the projectiles were fired at the city wall just now. Although it has not collapsed yet, there is no city wall that cannot be blasted open in front of Prince Chen's firearms!  "Boom, boom!" With the second round of firearms shooting, the city wall could almost be seen with the naked eye, and it was crumbling. However, after the second round of projectiles passed, the city wall still did not collapse.  The commander remained calm and ordered the third round to start loading.  On the top of the city, Tuotuo felt a little impatient.  Although the city wall still stood tall during the two attacks, it was obvious that the city wall could no longer withstand it and its collapse was imminent.  Once the city wall collapses, your side will be unable to defend the city at all.  "Could it be that Helin City will be defeated by the Ming army if it cannot hold out for even one day?"  Tuotuo felt a little anxious, absolutely not!  "Boom, boom, boom!" At this moment, the third round of firearm shooting started again. With this shooting, the projectiles accurately hit the city wall again.  "Crash!" The city wall could no longer withstand this kind of blow. Suddenly, all of a sudden, it collapsed. The soil on it fell to both sides, and a slope suddenly appeared.  From this slope, the opponent's army will roll in.  "Quick, block the gap!" Tuotuo shouted.  If the gap in the city wall cannot be blocked, then our city will be completely destroyed.  At this moment, a strange scene suddenly appeared on the opposite position. In the thick smoke, countless fire-breathing arrows flew over!  Just now, the five tigers running together beat the Tatar troops out of the city and drove them back. But now, fifty tigers running together shot out an overwhelming barrage of arrows, like locusts, towards the opposite side.  Flying away from the city.  No one can observe the movements of the enemy troops under the city during this round of arrows. They are all looking for various things to resist, and hide themselves in the corners, hoping that they will not be hit by the arrows.  Even Tuotuo was surrounded by guards and tightly surrounded by shields. Even if there was a hole, arrows would get through.  "Charge!" Feng Guosheng shouted: "Charge into Helin City and capture the Tatar Emperor alive!" Upon hearing Feng Guosheng's order, the soldiers picked up their weapons, stepped on their sleds, and rushed forward. They needed to get through the gap.  , Fenyong?Just rush in, it's that simple!  Under the city head, a tide surged. On the city head, everywhere was as dense as weeds on the wasteland.  Many soldiers were groaning. Although they had hid in advance, their arms and legs were still exposed. They were hit by an arrow. As for the more unlucky ones, they could no longer move.  "Quick, hold the gap!" Tuotuo pushed away his guard and saw that the Ming army was almost in front of him!  It seemed difficult to get the soldiers to form a human wall to block the gap. Tuotuo looked at the big pot on the side and suddenly had an idea: "Quick, pour the water up!" At this time, the pot was filled with water.  The water was already cold, and there was a thick layer of mutton fat on it. It could have been used for making dinner. However, when Tuotuo said this, some of his men immediately lifted it up and poured it towards the gap.  The water turned into ice almost as soon as it was poured. The weather was so cold that dripping water turned into ice.  Although the city wall has collapsed, the collapsed soil still formed a slope.  When Chen Feng used this tactic in the past, it was with cavalry. With the speed of the horse and strong impact, he could rush up and then go down again.  Now, Feng Guosheng¡¯s army uses sleds.  On the land outside, use a sled. When you reach the gap, you need to throw away the sled and rush up on the dirt. Originally, this is only a short moment. They will run up quickly, and then rush up again.  The city heads on both sides rushed into the city.  But now, when they rushed to the gap, they found that it was already a slope composed of thick and smooth ice. They wanted to run up, but they fell down before taking two steps.  This unexpected difficulty made everyone feel at a loss, and the battlefield temporarily stopped.  Our army is close to the city wall. In order to prevent accidental damage, the Hundred Tigers Rush can no longer be used. Our soldiers are at the gap. They can rush into the city as long as they climb over. It is that simple.  But, there they were, crawling desperately, but they couldn't get across at all. Even though the city wall collapsed, the slope was still one and a half feet high and one foot long.  The scene was even a bit comical. Soldiers rushed forward one after another, only to roll and slide down again. They were yelling at each other, but there was nothing they could do.  After the war ended and he returned, Feng Guosheng depressedly mentioned this experience to Chen Feng. Chen Feng only said one sentence: "The ice surface is better. Your men just stepped on the sled and rushed in, didn't they?  "The sled can be used not only in the snow, but also on the ice. Unfortunately, Feng Guosheng didn't know that at this time.  If they had known, they would have broken in long ago.  The defenders at the top of the city crawled over from the dense arrows, stretched out their heads in fear, and then couldn't help but feel happy.  The opponent is trying hard to climb up, but they are unable to crawl through the gap. This is simply a clown performance.  Tuotuo didn't smile and said: "What are you still doing? Hurry up and use your bows and arrows to destroy them!" The opponent's bows and arrows have stopped, and because the opponent's suppression was too strong just now, the crossbows, bows and arrows at the top of the city,  None of them fought back.  Now, those enemy soldiers exposed in the gap are simply living targets.  Tuotuo gave an order, and arrows rained down from the top of the city. They had been suppressed and hit. Now, our side finally felt the sweetness of victory.  Seeing that there was no hope of attacking the city, the soldiers of the Ming Army ran very fast and scattered in all directions. Only a small part of the arrows fired at the top of the city were killed, and most of them were pushed back.  "What's going on?" Feng Guosheng finally became angry: "Now, Helin City is right in front of us, but we can't break in?" "General, the gap has been turned into ice by the Tatars with water, and we can't climb up.  "Qi Xiang, the forward general, said.  At this time, Qi Xiang was not very famous, but the situation in Yingtian was complicated, so Zhu Yuanzhang could only transfer Qi Xiang here.  In later generations, Qi Xiang was not very famous. The only thing he was famous for was that he had a promising descendant named Qi Jiguang.  Now, Qi Xiang has suffered a failure.  "Cunning Tatars!" Feng Guosheng asked: "What should we do now?" Ding Zhu, the commander in charge of operating the bowl-mouth gun who came to assist Feng Guosheng, was also very helpless: "General, our bowl-mouth gun can only blast  Open the city wall, but the soil from the collapse of the city wall will definitely fall to both sides, and we cannot remove it. "The bowl-mouth gun is not omnipotent. In the past, this was enough. Who could have known that the Tatars would actually change it.  It became an ice surface. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?The weather is freezing, especially on the grasslands. The winter is extremely cold. Now, the troops are led by generals from the south, and they are helpless.  ¡°Could it be that, after running all the way here, we are just going back in despair?  Looking at the city in the distance, Feng Guosheng's eyes were full of anger.  "Or, we can try to dig tunnels all the way to the bottom of the city wall. Then, if we add gunpowder, we can blow the city wall into the sky, and there won't be such a big slope there." A general said.  Anyway, they only dig tunnels, and Dingzhu is responsible for setting off the gunpowder.  "Now, the weather is so cold and the ground is frozen stiff, how can we dig a tunnel?" Feng Guosheng immediately rejected the proposal.  Other generals came up with several more ideas, but none of them worked.  "It would be great if we could melt the ice there," one general said.  ¡¾Hey, want to read this book for free?  Follow us on WeChat: and read]
