"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, the caliber of this cannon is really scary..." The brigade commander of the artillery brigade, David Dong, touched the cannons on the carriage as if he was touching the most precious treasure in the world.

The cold touch from the fingertips made David Dong get goosebumps. These four twenty-four-pound cannons that had just been cast were different from the ordinary cannons in the artillery brigade. The ordinary cannons and howitzers are long-barrel cannons, while these four cannons are thick and short, with muzzles thicker than the strong waist. On the carriage behind the four cannons, there are baskets of giant shells.

However, David Dong is not unfamiliar with it, because the Ming army had similar general artillery in the past. Of course, compared with the new artillery of the Ming army developed by Chu Yun and others with the 18th century technology, the power, range, accuracy and other parameters are far inferior.

"When the young man was an unknown soldier on the Ningyuan defense line, he also had contact with the mortars cast by the Ming court, but that thing was really bad. The officials above detained funds at all levels, and the artillery was made in a rough manner, and the cannons became hot after firing a few cannons, and the cannons were also likely to explode. A comrade in the small army was killed by his own cannons when bombing the Jin soldiers. Army leader, how could he defeat the Later Jin?" David Dong sighed when he remembered the cannons arranged in the Ningyuan defense line.

"You are right. Those literati and officials were in a mess. Even the artillery that saved our lives was shoddy. There was really no bottom line. So we should learn from the Liao army and let the soldiers use the most exquisite equipment. I have said many times that muskets and cannons are not important. The most precious thing about our Liao army is the lives of soldiers. They are our hope for restoring the Liao army." Chu Yun said.

"Haha, what the monarch said is that with these cannons joining, Haizhou City is like walking on flat ground." David Dong agreed.

"This kind of mortar needs to be fixed on the ground and has insufficient mobility, but it is the best choice for siege. Since the mortar is here, then everything will be done according to the deployment. If you can't take over Haizhou City, I will remove your brigade commander." Chu Yun said.

"The army leader gave us so many artillery pieces. If we can't take them down, let alone withdrawing my post, it's okay to cut my head and use it as a stool for the army leader!" David Dong patted his chest hard.

"Who cares about your head as a stool? What I want is Haizhou City, do you understand?"

"I understand!"

Above the city wall of Haizhou City, an Eight Banners officer wearing a silver chain mail patrolled the city defense with several personal soldiers.

"Is there any movement in the Fu Liao army below?" The Eight Banners officer pressed his waist knife.

"Master Tuyan, the Liao army still fired a few guns as before, but they never saw them attack the city." The little leader guarding next to the battlement replied.

"What are these Ming troops doing? Look at the car they are riding, and there are not many ladders. Most of them are just bluffing. Hehe, don't look at them being aggressive, but our Haizhou City has two flag troops. They dare to attack the city without 40,000 or 50,000 people? Look, they will all withdraw in less than two or three days." Tuyan said cheerfully.

Boom! Just as the words of Tuyan fell, the battlement on his left suddenly exploded! The gravel of the battlement flew past Tuyan's ears, which made Tuyan sweat in a cold sweat!

He almost fell to the ground with conditioned reflex!

"Restore the Liao army... Restore the Liao army to attack the city?" Tuyan shouted in panic.

"Ahem... Sir, don't be afraid, this is just the daily firecrackers of the Fu Liao Army. They will fire a few firecrackers at will every day, and the brothers are used to it." The soldiers guarding the city were so embarrassed that they were so scared that their commanders were thrown into the ground by a shell from the Fu Liao Army.

"Oh, so that's the case. The Liao army still has a few brushes." Tu Yan got up from the ground awkwardly and patted the dust on his body.

A large piece of battlements hit by the artillery of the Fuliao Army collapsed, and gravel sprinkled over the city walls. Fortunately, no defenders were hit.

"Hey, it's really strange. The last time the Liao army's artillery had not hit the battlements, but one shot could only destroy half of the battlements. Why did it defeat most of the battlements this time?" The soldiers guarding the city discovered something unusual.

Looking around the city wall, there were indeed several battlements that were damaged to varying degrees due to the random artillery bombardment of the Fu Liao army in recent days, but the battlements around him were the most severely damaged.

"The Liao army only tentatively fired firecrackers every day, which caused considerable damage to our city walls. If their artillery bombarded our city walls, wouldn't it be impossible to resist the solid city walls?" Tuyan realized the seriousness of the problem, "You will continue to guard for the time being. I will go to see Erbeile and ask Erbeile to recruit the people in the city to build the city walls."

Er Beile Amin, who lives in the city, heard a sound of cannons in the direction of the city wall, and couldn't help but shake his head: "The Liao army is indeed firing firecrackers every day, and I don't know when they will come."

"Master Beile, the battlements on the city wall were destroyed by the artillery of the Fu Liao army. I also asked Master Beile to allow me to go to the city to capture some Han people and build them on the city wall." The map edge came to Amin.

"Catch some Han people? You can catch this at will, and then catch some Han people block the city gate with stones, so as not to use artillery to bomb the city gates." Amin thought about it and did not think that there was any problem with the strong recruits of men in the Tuyan. This was the way the Jin people have always done.

"Okay, I'll take people to catch the strong men now," said Tuyan.

"Wait, today you Jiala is responsible for defending the city. Can the Rest Liao army outside the city be any movement?" Amin called to the Tuyan who was about to leave and asked.

"The Restoration Army outside the city is no different from ordinary people. The sound of artillery just now was just a tentative shot. Master Beile doesn't need to panic." The picture answered.

"The Fu Liao army has always been silent, which makes me feel that there is something uneasy. It's like an eagle on the grassland, hovering over your head, staring at you so hard that you are furious." Amin said worriedly.

"Master Beile please be relieved. The Refu Liao army outside the city must be afraid of heavy losses, so they dare not attack the city. Even if they come to attack the city today, the younger one will take our brothers from Jiala to drive them out!" Tuyan slapped his chest with confidence.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

While the two were discussing, the ground began to tremble, dust fell on the roof, and a loud noise soared into the sky in the direction of the south city! The violent sound of artillery continued, like a sudden thunder sounding from afar, making people frightened!

"The Liao army has begun to attack the city!" Amin and Tuyan looked at each other, and they saw each other's fear in each other's eyes.
