Chapter 93 One after another

Shi Shipiao hurriedly retreated, and Zhu Yichengcai from Ningbo City took people to the top of the city. When he saw the shocking wreckage under the city, everyone looked shocked.

"It's so powerful, this... will it win?" Liao Huanzhi murmured. Jiang Jin beside him was also stunned. As scholars, they had always looked down on these strange tricks and tricks. In their opinion, defending the city was nothing more than attacking and defending. Both sides fought back and forth on the top of the city with big blades. But they never thought that there was such a way to defend the city.

Wang Fan from Sihai Business is better. After all, as a maritime merchant, he is quite familiar with gunpowder. Moreover, the batch of gunpowder in Zhu Yicheng's hands is provided by Wang Fan except for the rush to rush and the original Ningbo government inventory. But he did not expect that gunpowder could be used in this way, which is simply unheard of. Looking at the terrifying scene under the city, Wang Fan's face was pale, and he was also very excited.

After seeking against Zhu Yicheng, Wang Fan made the biggest choice in his life, which was equivalent to betting the future of the Wang family on Zhu Yicheng. Once Ningbo is captured, it will not only be the demise of Zhu Yicheng, but also the end of the Wang family. If Ningbo City is defended, the Ningbo rebel army will truly occupy this place, and the Wang family will usher in a new future.

"Master Hong, do you want to open the city to pursue?" Because of security issues, Zhu Yicheng only stepped on the city wall after the explosion. At this time, Shi Shipiao had led the team to retreat. Looking from the city wall, although the Fujian Navy was dizzy and even Shi Shipiao was covered in dust, the main force of the Fujian Navy was still there, especially the back team was complete, and Shi Shipiao was well-behaved. In this case, he retreated and rectified his subordinates, and there was no sign of chaos. At this time, Kaicheng would not be able to obtain any benefits.

"No need, just watch for a while, let your brother be prepared and wait for my order!" Zhu Yicheng was in a good mood and said with a smile. The wind on the top of the city made his robe sound violently. If he held a goose feather fan in his hand at this time, it would be like a Jiangdong Zhoulang who was like a feather fan and a scarf. The powerful enemy was destroyed while chatting and laughing.

When he was proud, Zhu Yicheng felt a pity. What he regretted was that these gunpowder were too little and the power of the gunpowder was not enough. But this cannot be blamed. The black gunpowder used in this era, not to mention that the formula of the black gunpowder has not reached the optimal state, with more dregs and insufficient power. In addition, the time is too tight, Zhu Yicheng finally got such gunpowder. Except for the demand and other uses on the fort, the rest is here.

In order to make the most of this batch of gunpowder, Zhu Yicheng tried his best to set up a trap, sent his subordinates to lure Shi Shipeng and took the risk to perform a scene at the city gate.

Shi Shipiao, who felt that he was sure to win, walked in step by step, and eventually suffered losses at the city gate and retreated in a mess. If there was more gunpowder, or if there was a greater firearm in his hand, Zhu Yicheng was even sure to beat Shi Shipiao to call him dad in one breath. How could his flesh and blood be in conscientious against the powerful explosion? You must know that even Principal Jiang's students would be defeated by the bombardment of the conscience artillery, let alone the Qing army of this era?

But it’s a pity that Zhu Yicheng was already very satisfied with such a result. Looking from the city wall, the casualties of the Fujian Navy were nearly a thousand people, of which no less than four or five hundred were killed by the bomb. This was almost 10% of the soldiers led by Shi Shipiao. The injured had temporarily lost their combat effectiveness. The lucky Qing soldiers were also indignant in this sudden explosion.

Shi Shipiao, who withdrew 2 miles, rectified his troops. Seeing that his subordinates' morale plummeted, he knew that he could no longer organize an attack. Besides, who could guarantee whether the thieves in Ningbo City had any explosives in their hands. For safety reasons, Shi Shipiao ordered to continue to retreat, distance from Ningbo City, temporarily wait for all to rest, and wait for the rear team's land artillery to arrive before making a comeback.

With a cannon in his hand, Shi Shipiao didn't believe that his cannon could not beat the gunpowder in Ningbo City's thief? As a general who is good at using firearms, Shi Shipiao had already figured out what the thief in Ningbo City used. He just buried a large amount of gunpowder outside the city in advance. As for the things thrown from the top of the city, they were also bundled explosive packs. Although these things are powerful, they consume a lot of gunpowder, and they can only catch themselves off guard.

Shi Shipiao was a prominent military achievement and was also appointed as the admiral of the Fujian Navy. He was a famous general in the entire Qing Dynasty. He believed that he had rich tactical experience and cautious people. Who would have thought that he would suffer such a great loss under Ningbo City, so he was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

The angry and angry Shi Shipiao wished he could get Zhu Yicheng to get rid of his cramps, but the first key now is to take down Ningbo City first. Shi Shipiao, who held back his anger, commanded the retreating troops to rest and rest, and waited for the artillery team to arrive at the back. But who would have thought that he had just set up camp and settled down, and he didn't even have time to clean up the black and gray on his face. There were a faint sound from the east, and the sound was heavy and dull, like spring thunder.

Hearing the sound, Shi Shipiao was stunned and his face changed drastically.

"Come!Come!"

"Military Gate..."

"Hurry! Quickly investigate what happened, hurry!" Shi Shipiao pointed at Dongfang and said, and his subordinate responded quickly, leading dozens of people to the direction of the sound.

Shi Shipiao stood there worriedly, looking at the east, and a very bad feeling surged in his heart, but at this time he was lucky and hoped to get good news.

The more you are not good, the more you are bad, the more you have any problems. After more than half an hour, the subordinates sent to investigate brought bad news to Shi Shipiao, that is, the artillery team he was behind was attacked by the thief who had come out of nowhere. Because there were too many rebels and a large number of people, the artillery team with weak defense was dispersed by the thief in an instant, and then they were killed like cutting melons.

Then, the thieves did not pull the cannons away, piled them together, and set fire with the gunpowder carried by the artillery team, and exploded the cannons. The dull thunder just now was the sound of gunpowder explosion. By the time Shi Shipiao's men rushed over, the thieves had already left. In addition to the cannons that had been blown up, there were also several gunners who were seriously injured and dying.

"All the cannons are gone?" Hearing this news, Shi Ship's eyes were so big that they were so big that they were scary, and his face was distorted and sternly shouted.

"Go back to the army gate, all the artillery was destroyed. The brothers of the artillery team... only the last three were left to breathe, but looking at their injuries, they probably couldn't survive..." The officer leading the team replied with a look of shame. Since the Fujian Navy landed, they had almost never encountered any opponents. But who would have thought that in just such a short time, they were trapped in Ningbo City and suffered heavy casualties. Then the artillery team of the subsequent team was attacked and wiped out. The series of blows seriously injured the Fujian Navy. What will happen next?

"My artillery team...my artillery team..." Shi Shipiao's eyes were dull, and he was really a mistake! Is there something wrong with his tactics? Or shouldn't he agree to come to Ningbo at all? The Fujian Navy has made great achievements in military affairs, but now he has been hit by continuous blows. Looking at the tall Ningbo city walls from afar, where should we go next? Should we continue to concentrate our troops to attack Ningbo? Or withdraw back to the sea? The more we think about Shi Shipiao's heart is more and more messy, and his chest is blocked.
