Soldiers were already charging forward, shouting and howling. They held not only swords and guns but also tools for chiseling and digging. Zhangguli also made a decision and ran towards the nearest city wall.
Lead bullets were fired in waves, and soldiers were constantly shot and fell to the ground. Zhangguli also saw that the empty lead bullets had made small pits on the icy ground.
There are so many muskets! Zhangguli had just sighed when a lead bullet hit his iron shield.
Although it didn't penetrate, it did leave a terrible dent. The immense force of the impact caused Zhangguli to stumble, and the arm holding the shield was nearly numb from the shock.
A corpse fell heavily beside Zhangguli. That's right, before it fell to the ground, this Jiannu had already died.
The heavy lead bullet hit the Jiannu's shoulder and neck, tearing the flesh, shattering the bones, and breaking the cervical vertebrae.
It seemed as if only a little flesh was left connecting his head to his body. After he fell to the ground, his head was bent at a very strange angle, and his eyes were rolled back, looking as scary as a dead fish.
Zhangguli forced himself to shift his gaze, took another step forward, and moved closer to the place he liked.
A small group of men had already approached the city wall, brandishing tools and beginning to dig. The defenders on the city wall resisted, but neither of them poked their heads over the wall, nor did they throw down logs and stones without even looking.
A fierce burst of lead bullets came from the side, killing and wounding the small group of Jian slaves. Then, another burst of musket fire felled many more Jian slaves.
Zhangguli watched, hesitating whether to continue going to the place he had just spotted. His attention was distracted, and he tripped over a corpse, falling and tumbling awkwardly.
Although the dog-eater was in a mess, he had saved his life. A dozen lead bullets whizzed in and hit the same place where they had come from, knocking down several soldiers, either dead or wounded.
After Zhangguli fell, the change in perspective also surprised him. Fires flashed continuously on the diagonal top of the city wall, and muskets fired volleys of shots, targeting the soldiers under the diagonal wall.
In other words, when the Later Jin officers and soldiers under the city wall were digging the wall, they were attacked from the side and rear, not from the front.
