294 Shelling
。 It's just that not going to the battlefield doesn't mean it's absolutely safe, and there are still many innocent people being smashed in the raging artillery fire. After the first round of bombardment, it took a certain amount of time for the artillery to be reloaded, and the rumbling cannon was silent for a moment, and the heart-rending cries of the city could be heard one after another, and the people were sad to hear.
Soon, the sound of cannon fire rang out again, and the cry was drowned out in an instant, and then the rumbling of cannon rang out in all directions......
There are a lot of artillery and ammunition in the capital, but unfortunately it has been deliberately destroyed, most of them are being dried, and there are not many things that can be used, so I naturally can't use a pitiful number of artillery to engage in an artillery battle with the rebels' artillery.
In the midst of the fire, some people trembled with fright, and kept praying to the heavens for blessings, and some people talked and laughed with the people around them (I don't know how their voices could reach each other's ears in such a huge sound), some people took out the tobacco leaves on their bodies, put on a pot, and smoked the tobacco leaves with relish, which was called a comfortable, and more people just grabbed the weapons in their hands ruthlessly.
I pulled Luo Rou with one hand and Xue'er with the other, hiding behind the arrow battlements of the city wall, looking at the two beautiful faces, I felt guilty......
The artillery bombardment lasted for more than half an hour before it stopped. After rounds of shelling, the city wall has been unrecognizable, there is red or black blood in the ruins, there are injured people helpless, there are dead intact or incomplete corpses......
Fortunately, with the protection of the city walls, the casualties were not too great. Although the power of the artillery is huge, fortunately, the protection of the city wall is not vegetarian, which greatly cancels the lethality of the artillery, but the greater lethality of such an artillery bombardment lies in the deterrence of the soul, which will severely blow the morale of its opponent and force the opponent to submit.
When the artillery stopped, there were strong men who came up to rescue the wounded, and the wounded were carried down first, followed by the bodies of the victims, and these corpses also had to be moved, otherwise they would always look at the corpses of their comrades, and even after they died, they would be bombarded again and be sparsely bombarded, and no matter how strong the person was, he would feel sad.
"Enemy attack, defend—" shouted the soldier in charge of watching. Hearing the shouts on the city wall, he immediately grabbed the weapon in his hand and exposed half of his body, preparing to fight the enemy to the end.
I am fully armed, wearing iron armor, with an iron gun by my side, three pots of arrows on my back, a neck sword at my waist, and a strong bow in my hand, I didn't take Shang Fang's sword, that guy is a symbol of power, although sharp, but not suitable for battlefield killing, one is careless, knocked, touched, ruined, that is a big crime, even if I am not afraid of being impeached by the officials, I will not use it, I trust the neck sword that accompanied me all the way, as for Shang Fang's treasure arrow, it was handed over to a shrewd person under Wei Dayong, of course, He won't be used to fight either. Standing up and looking out, I saw that the rebel infantry had begun to approach the city wall rapidly, the front one held a shield as high as a person, followed by firearms soldiers and crossbowmen, and then dozens of wells were pushed by the infantry to follow the army to move, each well had more than 30 crossbowmen and bird soldiers, and then there were auxiliary soldiers carrying sandbags, and at the end was a large group of infantry holding ladders, they shouted and rushed to the city wall frantically. However, the crash did not appear in the team of the impact, and now even the moat has not been filled, and the crash is powerful and has nowhere to go, but it will affect the formation of the impact, so King Cheng decisively gave up using them in the first wave of impact.
The so-called auxiliary soldiers are actually people who have undergone a little training, and are mainly responsible for building camps and transporting supplies in the army. Of course, it was also their task to fill the moat, but this task was much more dangerous than their other tasks. It is said that King Cheng brought 15,000 people with him this time, but I believe that this number will expand with the passage of time.
