Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 73
The city defense guns on the city wall fired one after another. The city defense guns were old-fashioned smoothbore guns. The artillerymen of the hundred-headed regiment had operated Napoleon guns before, so there were not too many problems in using them, but the accuracy was not good.

The city is densely packed with enemy troops. Even if the accuracy is poor, the shells can still cause a large number of enemy casualties.And the enemy troops under the city did not have the slightest idea of ​​making the formation sparser and guarding against artillery.

Some of the catapults were destroyed by the bombardment, while others managed to hurl boulders at the castle. The boulders fell on the walls, or even in the castle, without causing too much damage, and a few soldiers were injured.

At the beginning, a large number of enemy infantry began to attack the city. They carried high ladders, and many of them did not even have siege tools, but they rushed forward like this.

"Shoot, don't let them get close to the city wall!" Shang Zhonghe shouted loudly, his soldiers were already lying on the wall, shooting down with their rifles or machine guns.

Ninety percent of the troops attacking the city were cold weapon troops. Bai Mingxiu saw heavy infantry wearing Crusader armor, Viking warriors with big beards and horn helmets, and even barbarians with little clothing.Facing such enemies, it is difficult for Bai Mingxiu to equate them with real humans, because this kind of siege has no meaning no matter how you look at it, it is like a game.

Bai Mingxiu would always subconsciously question the authenticity of the world itself. He just flashed this thought, and then immediately focused on the battle again.

More and more corpses were shot under the city wall, even gradually accumulating into a hill.Bai Mingxiu frowned, and said, "If this continues, the enemy will be able to attack the castle by stepping on the mountain of corpses."

The battle had lasted for more than an hour, and many soldiers were quite exhausted, but the group of field troops still had no intention of stopping their attacks.

Bai Mingxiu was trying hard to think of a way to win. He kept looking at the list of enemy troops, and found that some troops had already been defeated by his defenders, some had retreated and fled, and some were demoralized.

"Huh? The success rate of surrender is 67%?" Bai Mingxiu accidentally saw that the success rate of surrender of one of the troops exceeded half.

This is an army from the classical era, named "Heroes". Bai Mingxiu thought for a while before realizing that this army originated from the old game "Water Margin 108 Stars".The games produced by Glory will pay more attention to the role of generals. Heroes actually refer to the profession of generals, and he leads the subordinate soldiers.There are more than 3000 troops in this army, and their morale is now in a low state, which was beaten by Bai Mingxiu's troops just now.

"Try it." Bai Mingxiu launched his surrender.

After he pressed the surrender button nervously, the army turned against him and became Bai Mingxiu's army.

"You're lucky!" Bai Mingxiu sighed, but he didn't think the surrender this time was very meaningful.

But soon, when other field troops around found that they had a traitor, they immediately turned from the rhythm of siege to besieging this poor infantry unit.

Bai Mingxiu watched helplessly as this surrendering force of more than 3000 troops was destroyed by a large group of enemies, but Bai Mingxiu's eyes lit up.

"Although the success rate of recruiting is low, the success rate can be increased as you are attacked. And it seems that those who belong to the same faction as me have a higher success rate of recruiting."

Just like when Bai Mingxiu found a bug in the game before, Bai Mingxiu began to frantically recruit and surrender the field troops under the city. The success rate was indeed not high, but some troops still chose to join him, even though it was logically fundamental No way.

The city fell into a chaos of cannibalism. Bai Mingxiu immediately asked the soldiers to rest, and just sat on the table to watch the rebellion below.

"Hey, if this is not a dungeon, but a real war, killing so many people, my income from goldfinger coins is estimated to be considerable."

The number of the 20 troops is getting smaller and smaller due to guns and constant rebellions.In the evening, the newly surrendered troops controlled by Bai Mingxiu already had a numerical advantage, numbering more than 1.The field troops didn't know what kind of logical mechanism was used, and they began to retreat at this time.Bai Mingxiu didn't intend to let them go, so he sent two cavalry battalions from the Baizitou Regiment out of the city to pursue and kill them for a while, and gained some results.

Bai Mingxiu was quite surprised that he had exhausted his energy in the first two days after entering the challenge dungeon.However, Bai Mingxiu gradually understood what kind of mechanism the so-called dungeon was.

In the early morning of the third day, Bai Mingxiu tried to recruit Qimen Jingqi again, and finally succeeded in obtaining this army.The field troops in the dungeon can only try to surrender once a day, and after failing, they can only wait for the next day.

As a result, Bai Mingxiu has close to 2 troops. The main force is still the modernized Baizitou Regiment, and the rest are basically troops with cold weapons.

In fact, the soldiers of the Restoration Army of the Hundred-Zhitou regiment had no idea what happened, and there was not much time left for them to think. They were just numbly taken away by Bai Mingxiu, and then mechanically executed various Command, constantly tempering their combat and tactical skills.

Bai Mingxiu stayed several thousand people in the stronghold, and then led the main force to set off again.This time his target was a medium-sized stronghold. After a day of trekking and repelling another field force, Bai Mingxiu had better luck this time and encountered a medium-sized stronghold defended by artillery.Just like the cavalry couldn't defend the city, there were artillery on the city wall, but because the artillery could only use their own artillery, they also couldn't defend the city, so Bai Mingxiu successfully entered the city.

The medium-sized stronghold is no longer a castle, but a small city. There are some markets in the city, and there are even institutions such as the city hall. The overall architectural style is neither Chinese nor Western, and it looks very simple.And it was in this city that Bai Mingxiu obtained a larger warehouse, from which he harvested 10,000+ taels of silver, which could sustain his army for 20 days, 18000 brown bass rifles, and enough to equip 50000 people chain mail—even though Bai Mingxiu didn't know how he could use these chain mails.

His Royal Highness wanted the surrendered field troops to be equipped with flintlock rifles, but they all refused and stated that they did not have the ability. This left Bai Mingxiu speechless, but he had no more options.

"Well, although there is no way to turn them into an army of hot weapons, at least if these weapons are saved until the end of the dungeon, I can get them back to Xitian Mansion, which is a huge amount of supplies. It seems that the rewards of challenging missions are still very high. Not bad, I should capture a few more strongholds."
