Chapter 1352: The World of Han Flags (42) (2)
With two loud bangs, all the sappers who were busy involuntarily stopped what they were doing, and raised their heads to follow the two fireballs, but the position where Jiang Fu was standing was obscured by the smoke rising in front of him, and he didn't see clearly that the sappers below were already being curious babies now, otherwise he would definitely be jumping to his feet and scolding.
Not only the sappers of the Han army, but also on the wall of the Tianjiaping fortress in the distance, the eyes of the soldiers defending the city were also following the two fireballs, although the first one crossed the city and did not cause the slightest damage to them, but the movement still made almost all the soldiers of the Qin army tremble.
It's close, it's close! With a heart-rending scream, the city suddenly panicked, because the two fireballs were rapidly approaching and descending, and this time, they would not miss again.
There were two loud bangs, a cannonball was in the middle of the city wall, the entire wall of Tianjiaping Fortress seemed to be shaking with the impact of this cannonball, a section of the wall buttress was missing, and the cannonball that penetrated the city wall almost consumed all the kinetic energy. This guy smashed the walls not far from them, which they considered safeguard.
Another cannonball did not hit the city wall, but it was the tower above the fortress in the middle, and the wooden tower collapsed with a loud bang in an instant, almost half of the buildings fell, and the raging fire burned in an instant, and several soldiers were on fire, and ran out of the ruins, screaming loudly as they ran, until they rushed to the city wall, and rushed straight out of the gap that had just been blown up. He fell down the city with a thud, and the screams stopped, but the flames continued to burn. The soldiers in the city silently watched the flames burning below, and the look of horror on their faces could not be concealed in any way.
Goshin was also on top of the castle tower, but he was lucky. When a beam collapsed, it landed on one end and was still on the beam, coincidentally forming a triangular safety zone on his head, which allowed him to escape without danger, otherwise, Tian Jiaping would have lost their supreme commander here before the enemy attack was officially launched.
Although he narrowly escaped a life, the current appearance of Hook Shin is really not very good-looking. There were flames burning in several places all over his body, and the whole person seemed to have just been dug out of the soil, and when the fire was rushed, several guards hurriedly picked up a basin of water from the water storage in the city, and splashed it on him with a bang, which immediately turned him into a soup chicken.
"Extinguish the fire, put out the fire immediately!" Gou Xin didn't care about his current image and shouted loudly.
Above the city walls. Water tanks for fire extinguishing, sand and soil are ready-made. It's just that Qin Jun never thought that the enemy's method of arson was not the model they imagined.
The soldiers rushed up to extinguish the fire in a panic, but Gou Xin hurriedly stepped to the edge of the city wall, looking at the Han army in the distance, although his face was silent, but his heart was extremely worried. What kind of weapon is this? It makes a violent explosion sound like a grenade, but the grenade is thrown by a person, but this thing is not, and even a person with the strength is unlikely to throw a grenade from outside the li. He touched one of the grenades in his arms. Now Hanyaguan's own military workshop can also make grenades. Outside is a clay pot, which contains gunpowder, and the broken porcelain pieces produced after lighting the fuse rope and throwing it out and exploding can kill the enemy, but the one in his arms was smuggled from the Han Kingdom, and the number is very small, and it is only equipped with the handsome's henchman Eagle Ministry, and he can have one, thanks to his brother Gou Yi, who is now the leader of the Eagle Ministry. The grenade shell made by the Han Kingdom is iron, and there are extremely regular patterns carved on the iron, Gou Xin has heard his brother's description, the grenade made by the Han Kingdom, the power is several times more than that of the self-made grenade of Hanguguan.
This situation makes Hook Letter very discouraged.
In the distance, two more fires flashed, and Gou Xin subconsciously bent down and hid behind the battlement, but then remembered that if the previous weapon hit his position, even if he hid behind the battlement, he would not be able to protect himself at all, so he simply straightened his waist. Staring intently at the two whistling iron sparks in the air.
After two loud bangs, two more sections were crossed over the city wall.
This is simply not something that can be stopped by man.
Gou Xin turned his head and ordered loudly: "Except for the soldiers who operate the crossbow and trebuchet, the other soldiers immediately withdraw under the city wall, stand against the root of the city wall, and do not come up without my order." ”
Hooking on the most instinctive reaction of a general, he gave the most correct order, and the soldiers of the Qin army who were originally waiting for the city went down the city wall one after another, and there would not be much threat to them from artillery, and there were only hundreds of soldiers who operated long-range weapons left in the city.
Gou Xin took a few steps to a trebuchet, pointed to the two places in the distance where smoke was rising from time to time, and said loudly: "Aim at that place, hit me, and smash them." ”
"General, you can't hit it, the distance is too far, and the farthest range of our trebuchets can't reach it!" The soldier's voice was accompanied by a cry, only others beat him, but he couldn't fight back, this kind of thing is extremely wretched to anyone.
The trebuchet can't be smashed, and the bed crossbow is needless to say, at this time, Gou Xin suddenly resented the marshal, in the past two years, the marshal got a lot of weapons from the Han side through some smuggling channels, the bed crossbow is one of them, the bed crossbow because of its bulkiness and limited power, it has long been eliminated in the Han army, but for the Qin army, the range of the bed crossbow produced in the Han country is one-third farther than the range produced by the Qin State, if there can be a few here, Maybe it could be a little bit of a threat to the strange weapons of the Han army, but the marshal didn't assign one of these good things to the Lubin Fortress.
Gou Xin can't figure it out, how to say that this is also the first line against the Han army, and it is the most important place, if Lubin is lost, the Han army will be able to grow straight into the Han army and directly threaten Hangu Pass.
From his brother's vague meaning, Gou Xin also knew that the strategic focus of the marshal was not on the Han army on the opposite side, but on Xianyang, the best armor and the best weapons were all equipped on the troops in that direction, thinking of the people the marshal was going to deal with, Gou Xin couldn't help but shudder, over there, but the king of Qin!
But Gou Xin has no way out, as my brother said, everything in the Gou family is tied to the big handsome, and everyone also regards the Gou family as the most confidant of the big handsome, if the big man collapses, the Gou family will definitely not survive, that is a big crime to punish the nine clans, and now only begging the big man can succeed, in this way, the Gou family may usher in a splash of wealth.
Unable to hit the opponent's killing weapons from a distance, using them to deal with those sappers who are very scattered is completely overkill, not to mention that they can't hit, and they waste weapons in vain, Gouxin finally stopped this senseless work, and watched the sappers of the Han army under the city carry out civil engineering work without hurry, and remove the obstacles they have worked so hard to arrange little by little.
There was a strange scene on the Tianjiaping fortress, under the city, the Han army sappers slowly advanced, but the city was silent, occasionally the Han soldiers in the distance would shoot a few cannons, but they also hit a dozen and rested.
Jiang Fu was also very dissatisfied, he originally thought that he could use the cannon to inflict heavy damage on the enemy, but the defender in the city was obviously an extremely shrewd person, and he could still see the heads of people in the city before, but now, there was almost no human shadow, obviously, the other party was hiding.
"Can you extinguish their trebuchets and bed crossbows?" Jiang Fu asked the artillery commander in front of him.
The artillery commander had already become a big face at this time, and after listening to Jiang Fu's question, he shook his head in embarrassment, "Battalion commander, this cannon can't aim accurately, whether it can hit or not, it can only depend on luck." ”
"Luck? Fuck it! Jiang Fu shook his head helplessly, "Don't fight, it's a waste of shells, let's just make such a little configuration, and we have to leave a little bit to fight Hanguguan in the future." I can't fight left and right. ”
The sound of artillery fell silent, and at this time, the gate of Tianjiaping Fortress suddenly opened, and hundreds of Qin soldiers rushed out with shouts.
Gou Xin did not know the configuration of the Han army's troops, in his opinion, these sappers on the other side were just some auxiliary soldiers, and the auxiliary soldiers had always been scum with only five combat effectiveness, causing a lot of damage to them, one could boost their morale, and the other could also deter the opponent. Of course, he didn't know that the sappers of the Han army were completely an independent branch of the army, but when they had to set foot on the battlefield, they were not unable to fight independently.
Seeing Qin Jun rushing out, Jiang Fu finally became excited.
"Raised by a son of a bitch, I'll just say it, the Qin people won't always be a bad seed, it's good." He screamed excitedly. The soldiers of a company that had already been prepared quickly met them, and the sappers who were working in front of them, the sparse formation was also quickly closed, they did not bring knives, nor guns, but the sapper shovel in their hands was itself a sharp weapon, the sapper shovel made of stainless steel was in the shape of a round fox, and the two-foot-long wooden tail was inlaid with a metal bayonet, watching the Qin army approach, these sappers quickly took a stick from the belt and closed it on the bayonet, and the sapper shovel became a more than one meter long. It can be used as a machete.
The crossbowmen operated the Shenji crossbow, and on both sides of the sappers, they began to aim at the Qin army on the opposite side, and the sharp arrows rushed straight to the Qin army from the city with a whistling sound. (To be continued.) )
