"There is a kind of weapon in the Shenwu Army to defend the city, called the Thunderbolt Cannon, I have seen its power several times, it is really amazing, but unfortunately, the production of this thing is limited, and it is supplied to the battalions that need it first!"

Speaking of this, Xin Yunjing sighed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Who would have expected that Sun Xiaozhe would be like a madman, not going to fight back against Tongguan, but staring at our indiscriminate attack ......"

Lu Sigong's curiosity rose, he had also heard of this kind of weapon called the Thunderbolt Cannon, and the rumors only said that in the crucial battle to defeat Cai Xide, the Thunderbolt Cannon showed its might, it turned out that this was not just a rumor, it was true.

"Is there such a thing in General Yang's army?"

If Yang Xingben's army had this thing, even if Chengcheng City was broken, he and the county Taishou would be able to hold Feng Yi's last line of defense, so that even if he died, he would be blinded. But Xin Yunjing's words were poured down like a basin of cold water.

"No, this thing needs a lot of pig iron and gunpowder, and the amount produced in a hurry is not very much, and what was deduced at the beginning was that Sun Xiaozhe would definitely fight back against Tongguan, so it was limited to General Pei, so General Yang didn't have this thing. ”

Both of them sighed, always feeling very pity, if Danfan could have thought of this at the beginning, maybe there would be a glimmer of life today.

However, Xin Yunjing and Lu Sigong are not complaining people, and they quickly jumped out of the mood of regret and regret.

"There is no definite end to war, and no one is perfect, and those who are as wise as the imperial historian may not be able to be regarded as a last resort. ”

Lu Sigong's words are still very pertinent, all plans cannot be perfect, and luck sometimes becomes the decisive factor in determining the outcome of a war. Xin Yunjing's expression turned resolute.

"Brother Lu's words are reasonable, if the victory or defeat of the war is pinned on one person, or a few secret weapons, it is too unrealistic!"

After a while, they commanded the soldiers to begin to demolish the courtyard of the house in the west gate, and the beams and pillars and masonry obtained were placed on the edge of the city wall nearby, and they could be used when the rebels came to attack at dawn tomorrow.

The next day, Sun Xiaozhe really ordered to urge the army to attack the city at any cost, this time the use of troops is a dangerous move, if you do not achieve results as soon as possible, the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to yourself, who knows that you may lose everything. But he was unwilling to follow the path drawn by Qin Jin, and counterattacking Tongguan was indeed a choice that most people would make, and he just wanted to take it by surprise, in order to disrupt the position that Qin Jin had already arranged.

"Zhang Tongru, give you three more days of hard work, if you can't take this small county town, just come to see me!"

When the ultimatum was spoken, Zhang Tongru suddenly felt that his head was as big as a fight. The defenders in this county town were obviously many times stronger than the fighting will he had been exposed to in the past, and now it was really difficult for a strong man to set a three-day deadline. But he also knows that Sun Xiaozhe has always been the same, if he really can't capture Chengcheng within three days, I'm afraid it will be difficult to protect his head.

"The last general obeys!"

Sun Xiaozhe glanced at him, seemed to see through his thoughts, and said coldly:

"If you can't capture Chengcheng within three days, not only you, but also Ben Shuai may not be able to escape the doom. Don't be afraid of difficulties, these 80,000 horses will all be handed over to you to command, and if you capture Chengcheng at any cost, our survival will be half more!"

As he spoke, Sun Xiaozhe's gaze suddenly became deeper, and he threw himself from Zhang Tongru's face to the Chengcheng city wall several miles away.

"The last general understands!"

Zhang Tongru suddenly found that Sun Xiaozhe was also in a situation of success or failure, and when he attacked Chengcheng, he ordered people to cut down trees and build siege equipment. Therefore, the siege on the first day was only a feint. Rao is like this, the Yan army still killed the walls of Chengcheng several times and fought hand-to-hand with the defenders in the city.

However, it is a pity that several times were the end of the strong crossbow, and they fell short, and they were driven down by the defenders of the Tang Dynasty.

Zhang Tongru is not angry and anxious, this is the expected result, if he wins the battle, it will be an unexpected joy, and there is nothing to complain about now.

He suddenly found that Sun Xiaozhe seemed to attach great importance to him, and even if he was in front of the army, he did not personally command, but entrusted all the command of the siege to himself. This made him feel moved and pressured, and he only secretly swore in his heart that he must fight a beautiful battle and not be looked down upon by the handsome.

Zhang Tongru and Sun Xiaozhe originally didn't have much to do with each other, and only had more contact with them during this westward expansion, but somehow they had a desperate idea. And it is rumored that Sun Xiaozhe treats his subordinates harshly and harshly, and now it seems that he only stays at the level of a knife mouth and tofu heart, often speaking ruthlessly, but there are very few times when he is serious.

This time, Zhang Tongru didn't dare to guarantee that Sun Xiaozhe would be hard-mouthed and soft-hearted again, after all, they had all reached the most dangerous moment, if they didn't win, what was waiting in front of them might be a complete defeat.

Before dawn on the second day, Zhang Tongru gathered the whole army to attack the city on three sides, and the large siege equipment slowly advanced to Chengcheng by means of the looming night and hazy morning light.

It was not until they were less than a mile away from the city wall that the defenders on the city wall discovered the situation below.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

The sound of gongs and war drums soon became one.

The Yan army has always attacked after the dawn of the day, and it is the first time that the sky will be bright and the war will be full.

However, the late discovery did not mean that the Tang army was afraid because of the disadvantage of the battle just now, perhaps because of the realization of today's unusualness, the Tang army officers and soldiers were all brave, bricks and stones rolled wood were thrown under the city wall without a life, and the besieging Yan army had almost no place to stand.

The city was littered with bricks, rocks, logs, and corpses, piled up several feet above the ground. However, this did not facilitate the besieging Yan army, but blocked the momentum of their offensive because of the unevenness.

Xin Yunjing and Lu Sigong had just fallen asleep and squinted for less than half an hour before they were woken up by the officials and generals, and the two hurried up to the city wall, but they saw that the momentum of the rebels was far greater than before.

"The rebels have made up their minds to attack the city, and today is afraid that it will be a fierce battle!"

Xin Yunjing has been in battle for a long time, and he can see the heart of the rebels' decisive battle at a glance, and the ominous clouds suddenly obscured the sky.

Whoosh!

The sound of tearing the air made Xin Yunjing startled, and he subconsciously leaned down, but he heard a heart-rending howl around him.

A giant crossbow bolt the thickness of an arm pierced through a soldier's abdomen, and the broken bones and colorful intestines were spread out outside, making it unbearable to see.

The huge crossbow bolt shattered the soldier's spine, and after a few terrible howls, he let out more air and less air, and it seemed that he would not survive.

"Not good, the rebels have bed crossbows!"

"Lu Ming Mansion, General Xin, please go down to the city quickly!"

The generals in the city shouted loudly and told Xin Yunjing and Lu Sigong to go down the city to prevent accidents. After all, these two people are the backbone of Chengcheng, no matter who is injured or who dies, it will be a heavy blow to the defenders of Chengcheng.

But at this moment, how could Xin Yunjing and Lu Sigong hide below for their own safety?

The rebels' bed crossbows shot wave after wave at the city wall, with a huge impact force that could sink into the city wall several feet deep, and if it hit a person, it would immediately be flesh and bones. The terrifying destructive power landed and made the ** defending the city chaotic.

The bed crossbow was nailed to the rammed earth city wall one after another, and soon a large piece of rammed earth as hard as iron and stone peeled off the wall, which made Xin Yunjing's scalp tingle. After all, the walls of Chengcheng City were still cut corners at the beginning of the ramming, otherwise they would not have been stripped off by the bed crossbow in a moment.

But if the rebels shoot down on this wood without limit, sooner or later, the walls of Chengcheng City will collapse.

Fortunately, the firing of the bed crossbow soon stopped, and a large number of rebels swarmed under the city, climbing up with the help of specially reinforced ladders.

The defenders were not completely unprepared for this, and several cauldrons on the corridors of the city walls were already boiling hot, and the melted snow inside began to bubble.

"Come on, scald these shitty people with boiling water!"

Buckets of boiling boiling water poured down on the head of the ladder, the rebels screamed miserably, and there was a burst of white mist on the heads of the people who climbed at the front, and they reached out to scratch it under the severe pain, but even the hair was torn off the scalp, and the bright red flesh and blood were about to come out, and another bucket of hot water was poured down, and the whole person lost his balance in an instant and fell off the ladder.

However, firewood was limited and the rate of boiling water was not satisfactory, and under the uninterrupted onslaught of the rebels, more and more rebel soldiers climbed the city walls and began to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the defenders.

Seeing this, Xin Yunjing could no longer sit in the back, so he rushed forward with a Mo knife, and immediately killed a bloody road, seeing that General Tang had a hideous face and took people's lives with a knife, and for a while, no one in the rebels dared to approach. Lu Sigong was not willing to sit and watch, he was born as a hero, and he was also very good at it, holding a horizontal knife to slash left and right, and actually protected Xin Yunjing's exposed flanks due to the wide opening and closing.

Soon, there were more and more rebels climbing the city wall, and many city walls had been lost, Lu Sigong saw that the situation was about to lose control, his eyes were red, and he roared loudly:

"Success or failure is a battle in this battle, kill the thief!

The hissing sound of a sentence trembled, Xin Yunjing turned his head suddenly, knowing that Lu Sigong was already desperate, and there was no reason to be lucky today, but the Mo knife in his hand was wielding it even faster than the wind.

"Lu Ming Mansion will kill me out!"

Suddenly, Xin Yunjing's heart burst out with the idea of survival that he had never had before, instead of dying in the city, it was better to fight to the death, endure the humiliation, and keep a useful body to kill the thief.

When a man is in a desperate situation, he often bursts out with amazing strength, and dozens of defenders gather around him, fighting and retreating. But Lu Sigong seemed to be unaware, only wielding a horizontal knife and rushing left and ...... among the rebels
