As the order was given, the cannoneers were already in position outside the city.
Boom!!!
The fierce sound of cannoneers rang out.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
The sound of cannoneers rang out endlessly.
Cannons after cannons were aimed at Fushan County and attacked. Countless cannoneers rained down, turning the city into a sea of fire. The defenders on the city tower were under great pressure.
Meng Jiuyou saw this and retreated decisively. After Meng Jiuyou retreated, Mordor immediately led his men to take over the city defense. He ordered the cannoneers to fire back at the army that was bombarding the city tower.
Rumble!!
The cannoneers continued to fire as both sides attacked each other.
Both sides wanted to destroy the other.
Not long after the bombardment, a large number of soldiers under Nicholas Tu's command appeared. They began to charge towards Fu Shan County and began to attack in large numbers.
The dense crowd of soldiers appeared. This scene fell into Moledo's eyes, but his expression was one of disdain.
Ten thousand men!
It was not easy to attack a city with ten thousand men.
If only Nicholas Tu had cannons, and Mordor's side did not, it would not be easy to defend Fushan County. But now, Fushan County also had cannons. The cannons were aimed outside the city, and this weakened the enemy's attack.
Nicholas Tu's attack was greatly affected.
Du Qi was also on the city tower.
He stood in a corner, watching the changes on the battlefield. Seeing that Nicholas Tu's soldiers were getting closer and closer to the city wall, and were only about two hundred paces away, Du Qi ordered, "Luo Binwang, tell Mordor to change the target of his attack. Don't be in a hurry to counterattack Nicholas Tu's cannoneers. Bombard Nicholas Tu's soldiers."
"Yes!"
Luo Binwang received the order and immediately went to relay it.
Not long after, the order was passed down.
Mordor immediately gave the order, and the cannoneers adjusted the range of the cannons and changed the direction, aiming at Nicholas Tu's army outside the city.
Boom! Boom!!
Cannonballs flew through the air before landing in the crowd and exploding.
Soil and corpses flew everywhere.
A single cannonball killed several people, including more than ten of Nicholas Tu's soldiers.
Because Nicholas Tu's soldiers were spread out, although the cannonballs exploded and killed some of them, the losses caused to Nicholas Tu's soldiers were not particularly great. Even so, the impact was enormous. It caused the morale of the soldiers under Nicholas Tu's command to plummet.
Many people felt uneasy as they rushed forward.
He was even more worried.
Thus, their attacks and fighting spirit were immediately affected. Because their fighting spirit was affected, many people did not dare to charge forward.
When Nicholas Tu saw this, he immediately frowned.
Who would have thought that the defense of Fushan County would be so powerful?
Nicholas Tu ordered again, "Go down and beat the drums, beat the drums for me. In this battle, they had to take down Fushan County in one go. We absolutely cannot allow this battle to be affected in any way. "
After the order was passed down, the sound of war drums resounded continuously.
When the soldiers at the frontline heard the war drums, all of them became nervous. Under the command of the war drums, they could only charge forward. If they retreated, they would be violating military law and would be punished. Therefore, they could only charge forward and hope that they were lucky enough not to be hit by the cannonballs.
The soldiers under Nicholas Tu's command kept charging forward.
The distance was closing bit by bit.
When they were less than sixty steps away from the county, Mordor saw this scene. He immediately ordered the soldiers to throw grenades from the city tower to stop them. After all, sixty steps was not a particularly long distance to throw grenades from the city tower. Moreover, the grenades were flexible and light, so they were relatively easy to control.
Under this premise, their lethality was actually greater.
One after another, grenades flew out of the city tower and exploded outside the city.
One by one, Nicholas Tu's soldiers were killed by the explosions.
The offensive was even more aggressive.
Even if there were still people charging forward, they had already rushed to the city gate and were ready to attack the city gate. However, the people guarding the county threw grenades one after another at the gate, killing Nicholas Tu's soldiers who were blocking the gate.
The sound of cannon fire continued to ring out.
Although the cannons on the city tower had a great impact on the soldiers under Nicholas Tu's command.
At the same time, the cannons under Nicholas Tu's command also caused a certain amount of damage to the city tower. Many artillery soldiers were killed, and many soldiers were also blown to the ground.
Even so, the defense still continued.
The two sides were still fighting fiercely.
Du Qi watched this scene quietly.
War was so cruel.
It was either you die or I die. In the end, there could only be one side left. It was impossible for the two sides to suddenly shake hands and make peace.
Du Qi quietly watched this scene unfold.
As time passed, the defense on the city tower continued. However, the attacking side did not make any progress from the beginning to the end. They could not break the county's defense.
Time passed bit by bit.
It was almost evening, and night was approaching. At this time, the two sides had been fighting fiercely for a long time.
Nicholas Tu frowned when he saw this scene. He was already like a few thousand elites. However, under the bombardment of the cannons, although the city tower was full of holes, the soldiers guarding it still did not retreat. This made Nicholas Tu's plan to occupy Fushan County fail.
They could not take Fushan County in a short time.
What should he do?
Nicholas Tu's mind was racing.
He had already arrived at Fushan County. He could not retreat directly. If he fought for a while but could not take Fushan County and retreat, how could he convince his soldiers? Most importantly, how could he distribute the loot that he did not seize to his soldiers?
These were all problems.
Therefore, Nicholas Tu had to continue fighting.
He had to take Fushan County.
Nicholas Tu also knew that after a day of fighting, his soldiers were exhausted, so he directly ordered, "Pass down the order, retreat!"
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The order to retreat was quickly passed down.
The soldiers under Nicholas Tu's command had already retreated like the receding tide. They did not dare to stay any longer. Under such circumstances, the soldiers guarding the city tower all heaved a sigh of relief.
Some of the soldiers guarding the city tower were brought by Du Qi from Xia Xia.
These soldiers had been through hundreds of battles.
They had enough combat power.
They were not afraid.
However, although some of the soldiers under Fushan County had participated in the war, in reality, none of them had really seen the cruelty of the battlefield. They were a little nervous about this battle.
Merely, after a day of fighting, they had grown accustomed to it. Furthermore, they had obtained victory. Thus, at that moment, they all felt even more confident and excited.
They had won!
They had won!
Even if the person who came was the governor of Songyang County, Nicholas Tu, they had not been defeated.
Cheers gradually sounded on the city tower.
The soldiers cheered one after another. Their voices traveled outside the city and into Nicholas Tu's ears. He looked at the mottled city walls and the golden city walls under the setting sun. He clenched his fists.
He had to take Fushan County.
He would not allow Meng Jiuyou and Du Qi to occupy Fushan County.
Songyang County would definitely be his Songyang County. Fushan County would also be his Fushan County.
He would definitely come back.
