Shao Tingda had no choice. The news of the attack of the Western Army had already delayed the mealtime of his flag army. Seeing that their small cannon could not break the barrier wall, what else would he have to eat if he didn't take advantage of this time?

You can't be until night, so you'll get hungry.

Adhering to his brother Chen Mu's idea that the flag army would be good, even during the war, Shao Tingda was unwilling to let his subordinates starve. Not only did his flag army eat when the Western artillery team attacked, but after it got dark, Chen Mu also sent someone to order the households of supplies and add meat and vegetables to the front-line flag army.

Spicy fried cacti with bison meat.

All the materials were taken locally. Magui slaughtered three giant bisons brought from Majiagang. Onions and peppers in the Spanish plantation were collected in the port warehouse, and all the cactus everywhere came in handy to give the flag army a full meal.

The herds of bison running around in North Asia are good things, but unfortunately there are too few. Magui's fleet only brought more than a dozen bisons trapped with traps. Hunting such huge and ferocious animals is not difficult for the army.

Two hundred years ago, Mu Ying used the three-row round shooting of the musketeers in Yunnan to launch the battle elephant, which proved that no matter how big the animals in this world could not fight against groups of humans, it was like a nonsense that even groups of humans could not deal with humans.

But capturing is difficult, and domestication is even more difficult.

Chen Mu planned to resume training in the Eastern Military Palace. He was on the northern grasslands and ate beef every day, and it was difficult not to be strong.

"General Lin is behind the Western Army?"

If the Spanish attack with heavy thunder and light rain made Chen Mu a little worried about the situation, then he was not panicked at all after receiving the news from Lin Manjue who sent people to cross mountains and rivers.

However, the information sent by Lin Manjue was mixed. Although Bernard said that he had 10,000 soldiers during his persuasion to surrender before the war, neither Shao Tingda, who was commanding the garrison on the front line nor Chen Mu in the rear believed that the Western Army really had 10,000 people.

But Lin Manjue's news proved this statement. Bernard really assembled an army of ten thousand people, but it had a counter-effect. Chen Mu's aides led by Zhao Shizhen mocked Bernard even more violently.

"Ten thousand people, the Grand Marshal, only ten thousand people have four small Francis machines, and two more bombed!"

Zhao Shizhen danced more happily than anyone else in this garrison battle. More than once Chen Mu heard him mention the Thunder gun he designed on the day he reported his work in the Xuda Temple in Juyongguan.

"Master General, if our army had a thunder gun at this time, we would only need to place thirty brackets on the wall. When the enemy suddenly came, he would release two hundred guns in a flash, accompanied by six hundred flag soldiers' wheels. Even if thousands of troops rushed hard, they would be repelled!"

"It's really true." Chen Mu found that the Western Army had no heavy artillery, and returned to the port building. He looked back at the quiet night outside the window and said to Zhao Shizhen: "I find that Chang Ji, your ability to talk about war on paper is getting higher and higher."

Zhao Shizhen is right. If there are dozens of multi-barrel Thunder guns armed front-line flag troops, two of them form cross firepower on both sides of each section of the barrier wall, not to mention that the Western Army can be scared away just by firing speed.

"When this battle is over, I will allow you to build your Thunder gun at the Military Weapon Bureau. I have never thought about it before."

Chen Mu held the windowsill and curled his lips: "I never thought we would be the defensive side."

The attack cannot use weapons that are so heavy that it affects maneuver, or the complex production is not suitable for Chen Mu in the era of the Minister of the South China Sea.

Artillery can solve all problems. If not, add a little caliber.

Even now Chen Mu believes that this concept is correct, but if there are some Thunder guns, they can help a lot in some battles.

The fire from the canyon in the distance suddenly came into Chen Mu's eyes, causing him to suddenly stop breathing, and almost instinctively reacted, hammering his hand on the window railing, blurting out: "Do they dare to fight me at night, are you crazy?"

Before he could finish his words, the sound of cannons like thunder in the sky came, making Chen Mu understand that it was their own cannons that were fired.

And judging by voice, it is very likely that General Shao Tingda's twelve gates of Zhenshuo bombarded together, and did not even shoot at the school, and he blasted out all of them.

If it is a cannon, even if there is a cannon echo, it is difficult to hear what it sounds clearly in Chen Mu's location, and you will only feel a little bit of noise. However, Shao Tingda has many heavy cannons in his hand, which is enough for the port to hear clearly.

The artillery was powerful, but the artillery fired beside the artillery was not so decent. On the other side of the canyon, the artillery with cotton stuffed in its ears ordered the lead to ignite the lead. The next moment, dozens of people opened their mouths and shouted "Ah" and threw themselves to the right, and flipped into the earthen bunker next to the artillery with the standard Ming army artillery movement.

Some people even act, and they lose their energy when they fall down, and they still make a comeback in the pit with standard.

Then the moment the artillery shells came out of the bore, the huge waves of air stirred up dust around them, and smoke and dust echoed in every corner of the artillery position. The twelve shells were thundering like overwhelming sounds six hundred steps away.

The shells didn't hit anyone.

Fu Yuan was frightened.

During the day, Shao Tingda hid behind the wall for a day, and went to bed until dark. He came to take over the duties of the front line general. He stood outside the wall and urinated in the direction of the Western Army stationed, but found that there seemed to be a huge shadow in the distance in the darkness and slowly moved towards this side. He lay on the clean ground with his legs crossed and heard the sound of wheels rotating in the distance.

He was so scared that he didn't even care about lifting his pants, and immediately ordered the artillery to fire.

The Ming army was not without methods to deal with the Western Army’s night attacks, although everyone, including Chen Mu, believed that the Western Army might not launch a night attack. In this era, the cost of night attacks was too high.

Even among the Beiyang Army with excellent food, at night, there were at least 20% of the flag troops ten steps away, let alone the Spanish army, whose food was not even half as high as the Beiyang Army.

He knew what it was. Only strange and bulky things would make a huge sound when they were pushed on the ground, and the huge shadows hidden in the darkness could only be the only stone-firing cannon that brought heavy damage to the Ming army ships.

Fu Yuan never thought that the Spaniards would be so crazy that they brought this thing to the canyon battlefield!

That would kill them all!

In fact, when the Ming army artillery was bombarded, the stone-firing cannon had just been pushed to 800 steps away, and the carefully selected night attack troops did not enter the 800 step range, so the Ming army artillery could not hit anyone.

However, the twelve artillery bombardment of the twelve artillery still inevitably affected the situation on the battlefield.

The night attack troops believed that they had been discovered, and the merchant guards who pushed the stone-firing cannon did not dare to push the cannon forward any more. They ignited the cannon in panic. The huge stone bomb almost blasted three hundred steps against the ground, and then glided on the ground until they stopped in the middle of the battlefield.
