Chapter 6 Shoot Lao Tzu
After a night of repairs, the Great Zhou army was full of energy.
The army was directed at the country of Liuyun.
Outside the city of Luyang County, there is also a city called Jiangcheng.
Jiangcheng is a third-class city.
Although the scale is not as large as Luyang City, it is a traffic artery, connecting three places and close to the river.
It is a city with great development potential.
Jiangcheng was originally the land of the Great Zhou, but now it is also occupied by the Liuyun Kingdom.
Zhou Xiao's first goal was to recapture Jiangcheng first, and then go up the river to get back a few ninth-class small cities.
The news of the annihilation of Wang Ba's entire army spread far and wide, and the Liuyun Kingdom also paid close attention to the movements of the Great Zhou army.
Therefore, when the Great Zhou army came in mighty, the defenders of Jiangcheng had already deployed their defenses.
However, the number of defenders in Jiangcheng was less than 10,000, and it was impossible to confront the Great Zhou army head-on, so they could only close the city gate and defend passively.
A large number of archers, slingers, and heavy guards were deployed on the city walls.
At noon, the Great Zhou army arrived in Jiangcheng and approached the city.
40,000 troops lined up in a neat array, showing off their style.
"Lord, the walls of Jiangcheng are heavy, and now the city gate is closed, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The only way to do this is to storm with the help of ladders and arrows, or to break through the gates. Zhao Zilong said, "But in this way, although our side can win, we will still pay a heavy price." ”
Zhou smiled and snorted.
The siege of the city in film and television works is about the same.
But now that there are Italian cannons, there is no need to be so troublesome.
"I have my own plans. Zhou Xiao looked in the direction of Jiang Cheng and said.
The voice fell, and on the wall of Jiangcheng, the general of the defending army looked at the Great Zhou army.
"General, the enemy is outnumbered, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold Jiangcheng. One soldier worried.
Zhang Hang's brows furrowed, "I can't keep it!
"Your Majesty has sent 100,000 troops to come, we only need to hold out until the evening, and the army support will arrive!" Zhang Hang could only hope for reinforcements.
The atmosphere on both sides was somewhat tense.
At this time, Zhou Xiao signaled to Zhao Zilong, and Zhao Zilong said loudly: "Listen to the defenders of Jiangcheng, surrender quickly, otherwise our side will attack and bleed!"
Zhang Xuan said coldly when he heard this, "Surrender? Da Zhou is already at the end of the crossbow, what qualifications do you have for me to surrender?"
"Our reinforcements are coming, and at that time, you, and even the entire Great Zhou, will perish!"
Zhang Hang is very confident in Liuyunguo.
In the past, he was still a little in awe of Da Zhou, but now Da Zhou can only be trampled under the feet of Liuyun Kingdom!
"Death of my Great Zhou?" Zhou Xiao released a great majesty, "From today on, my Great Zhou will definitely rise again!"
"The starting point of the rise is the Liuyun Country!"
"Fight!!"
Zhou Xiao waved his sleeves and suddenly mobilized the emotions of the army.
Da Zhou has been bullied for too long.
Every citizen of the Great Zhou hopes that one day the Great Zhou will regain its glory.
"Rise?"
"Is Da Zhou still daydreaming?" Zhang Hang was completely like listening to a joke.
It is easy for a country or dynasty to decline from prosperity, but it needs the right time, place and people to flourish from decline to prosperity.
It's hard to climb.
Zhou Xiao ignored Zhang Xuan.
It is useless to say more, only to deter the other party with actions.
"What about Lao Tzu's Italian cannon?" Zhou Xiao suddenly shouted in imitation of Li Yunlong's tone.
For Zhou Xiao's actions, the army was puzzled.
Why is the emperor so rude......?
And what is the Italian cannon?
Why don't you understand?
When the army was puzzled, suddenly there was a flash of brilliance, boom, boom, and the ground shook violently.
A hundred Italian guns appeared out of thin air and lined up in front of the army.
The muzzle of the cannon was aimed in the direction of the city gate of Jiangcheng.
Where have the troops seen the Italian artillery, only to feel the novelty, Zhao Zilong said: "When did the lord prepare the chariot?"
"It's not a chariot, it's a cannon!" Zhou said with a smile.
"Cannon?" Zhao Zilong was puzzled, "How to use it?"
"Definitely. Zhou smiled and said, "Zilong, you're optimistic." ”
After saying that, Zhou Xiao stood with his hands in his hands,
cleared his throat and imitated Li Yunlong: "Open fire on Lao Tzu!"
Zhou Xiao's voice fell,
Suddenly, a hundred Italian cannons trembled slightly, and then one after another spiritual cannonballs burst out from the muzzles of the cannons, like thunder.
The spirit cannon flew out.
After that, it bombarded the walls of Jiangcheng like falling stars.
Boom Boom Boom ......
Explosions rang out one after another, and the flames soared into the sky.
Some soldiers were blown to pieces on the city walls, some were smashed off the walls, and even the heavy walls were blown out of conspicuous holes.
Smoke fills the air.
"Protect General Zhang!" The defenders of Jiangcheng on the city wall were in chaos.
Zhang was gray-headed, and now he was still ringing in his ears, and looked at the Great Zhou army under the city with fear, "What is that?
The opponent did not use a single soldier, and directly attacked from a distance, which made them suffer heavy losses.
How can this city be defended?
Zhang Hang suddenly lost confidence.
"Lord, this cannon ...... Psychic?" Zhao Zilong was full of novelty.
Zhou Xiao didn't do anything, only shouted to open fire, and then the Italian artillery began to bombard, which was simply amazing.
"It's not psychic. More appropriately, it should be voice control......" Zhou Xiao didn't know how to explain.
Anyway, the system is produced, and it must be a high-quality product.
Zhou Xiao was very satisfied with the first wave of bombing, and said for a while: "Zilong, do you want to try it?"
"Thank you, lord!" Zhao Zilong was eager to try.
With a bang, he has experienced a hundred battles, but he has not experienced this kind of war by shouting.
"Just shout 'fire at Lao Tzu'. Zhou Xiao said simply.
Zhao Zilong was a little nervous, and learned from Zhou Xiao to clear his throat, "Open fire to Lao Tzu!"
Boom Boom Boom ......
Suddenly, a hundred cannons were fired.
Under the dense shelling, the defenders of Jiangcheng were blown to pieces, and more than half of the 10,000 troops had been lost.
"Are you cool?" Zhou Xiao asked.
Zhao Zilong exhaled, "I've never been so cool." ”
Yang Hu on the side looked excited, "Your Majesty, can the last general try?"
Zhou smiled: "I'm right." ”
So Yang Hu also shouted, "Shoot Lao Tzu!"
Cannons,
This time, the gate of Jiangcheng was directly blown open, and the army, which had originally lost more than half of it, now had less than 2,000 people left, and it was crushed and embarrassed.
Zhang Hang still had the previous sharpness, and fled in a hurry.
At this time, Zhou Xiao put away the Italian cannon and issued a military order, "Enter the city!"
An army of 40,000 poured in like a tidal wave.
In just ten minutes, the entire Jiangcheng was completely occupied and firmly controlled by Zhou Xiao.
This was probably the shortest siege battle in the history of the Kyushu continent and was won......
"Bang!"
Yang Hu carried Zhang Hang, who wanted to abscond, and threw it in front of Zhou Xiao.
"Your Majesty, what should you do with this guy?" Yang Hu asked.
Zhou Xiao glanced at Zhang Hang on the ground, only to see that he was trembling, his face was bloodless, and what was even more exaggerated was that his pants were already wet. Zhou Xiao despised this suspense in his heart, and asked, "How many people did the Liuyun Kingdom send to reinforce it?"
Or was shocked by the majesty of Emperor Zhou Xiao, Zhang Xuan said: "Ten ...... Lakh. ”
"Who is leading the leader?" Zhou Xiao asked.
"General Guo Nu. Zhang Xuandao.
Although he is the leader of Jiangcheng, he is actually a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death.
raised his head and glanced at Zhou Xiao hurriedly, "The emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty is mighty, and the criminal minister Zhang Xuan is willing to serve the emperor." ”
Zhang Hang unabashedly expressed his loyalty.
Zhou Xiao just glanced at him lightly and said, "I don't need to be cowardly." ”
"Pull it down, cut it. Zhou Xiao said lightly.
Zhang Hang instantly fell into despair.
Yang Hu lifted it up, then pulled it outside the door and cut off its head with a knife......
