The opposite side of Wuguan is narrowly attacked, just such a small area, resulting in the attack on the Wuguan side can not carry out too many troops, want to attack, you can only attack from this narrow attack surface, this is also the most important reason why Wuguan is easy to defend and difficult, for the defender, the focus and purpose of defense is extremely clear, only need to contain this area, the enemy can look at the pass and sigh.

It is also based on this reason that Wuguan's large long-range weapons are not set on the city wall, but on the open space behind the city wall, rows of modified throwers swing out, the range is already calibrated, and several rows of throwers completely cover this area from far to near. The soldiers who operate the thrower do not need to see the enemy, they only need to follow the orders of the face above the city wall to drop the explosives bag where they want to throw it.

Another advantage of this arrangement is to avoid the thrower being suppressed and attacked by the enemy's long-range weapons, and to reduce the damage of one's own long-range heavy weapons as much as possible.

But after the Han army occupied Shaoxi Mountain, this problem was solved, on the top of the mountain, the Han artillerymen knew the location of the throwing machine at a glance, for them, this was just a fixed target shooting.

Zhang Qian quickly understood how painful it was for him to lose Shao Xi.

The Han army on the opposite side did not launch an attack for a long time, and the first to attack was the Han army on Shaoxi Mountain, with a loud bang, smoke rose from the top of the mountain, and a cannonball sprayed out with firelight, falling from top to bottom, like a meteor, this shell did not hit the throwing machine position in Wuguan, and deviated about dozens of meters. With a loud bang, it landed in a nearby area where sandbags were stacked, which were supposed to be set up to prevent attackers from using fire. In the explosion, the sandbags weighing dozens of pounds were thrown into the air like toys, and then fell to the ground with a clatter.

The eyes of the soldiers in the city invariably turned behind them, Zhang Qian was no exception, his face instantly turned pale, although the first cannonball attack did not hit the target, but he immediately understood the other party's intentions. And above the position of the thrower. The Chu Army Grenadiers, who were busy, stopped their movements in unison and looked at the chaos on the side.

Suddenly, these grenadiers understood a truth, it turned out that their position was not only not a safe place, but the first target of the enemy's attack.

At the next moment, everyone's eyes turned to the direction of Shaoxi Mountain. Zhang Gan's hand suddenly clenched into a fist, clenched it with a clenching sound, and his face turned pale.

Above the top of the mountain. Long Bin flattened his mouth dissatisfiedly and looked at the artillery battalion commander: "Ball, this cannon is ridiculously biased." ”

"This first shot was supposed to correct the trajectory!" The artillery battalion commander smiled: "Now you understand, Commander Long." And lo and behold! ”

"Gun position No. 1, ballistic correction completed, reloading completed!"

"Gun position No. 2, ballistics correction completed. Reloaded! ”

As the small red flags were raised, powerful reports came from more than a dozen gun emplacements.

"Gun positions 1 to 15, fire in turn!" The smile on the face of the artillery battalion commander faded. Ordered loudly.

"Gun No. 1, fire!" The hoarse voice of the gun commander sounded, and there was a loud bang, and the smoke was filled with smoke above the first gun position, and before the aftermath of the cannon sounded, the second gun sounded immediately after.

Long Bin covered his ears tightly, took a few steps back, and said in a low voice: "Holy shit, it's really loud, no wonder these guys in the artillery are talking loudly, they have been in the artillery camp for a long time, they have to become deaf!" ”

He covered his ears and craned his neck, trying to see the effect of this round of shelling, but the smoke in front of him was so thick that he couldn't see anything clearly.

The second round of shooting from Shaoxi Mountain covered the positions of the throwers in Wuguan City, the rows of neatly placed throwers were like woods, which were majestic and beautiful before, but now, as if swept by the wind, they had become scattered, the flying wood residues and parts of the throwers, as well as those who had no time to run away, showed the heavy losses of the Wuguan defenders, if it was just the shelling on Shaoxi Mountain, the key was that those throwers had been loaded with explosives bags ready to be launchedThese things were ignited by the fire caused by the shelling, and they exploded, and the power of their explosion was no less than the attack from Shaoxi Mountain, which also increased the effect of this attack.

The sound of the explosion finally stopped, Zhang Qian stared blankly at the previous extremely powerful dropper position, which had long ceased to exist at this moment, dozens of throwers turned into the residue of a place, at this time, there was only one lone standing in the corner, and on its edge were a few frightened Chu State grenadiers.

With a click, a round thing fell from the sky, and landed right on the edge of the base of this trebuchet, the bones were spinning, and the eyes of several soldiers mechanically rotated with its turn, it was not a cannonball, but a head that had been shattered into the sky, and the part below the head was long gone.

Finally stopped turning, the bloodstained head above the wide eyes, straight at a soldier opposite, the soldier's dull gaze finally had a trace of spirituality, the soul seemed to return to the body, but in an instant, it was like a cat and a horse that had been stepped on the tail, screamed and jumped three feet high on the spot, fell to the ground, and ran away with a miserable howl, and the terrible howl has been accompanied by his figure disappeared, still echoing in the air.

There was a bang, and there was another loud bang on Shaoxi Mountain, and the iron ball carrying the fire fell from the sky, this time accurately hitting the only still intact throwing machine on the field, and the loud noise, accompanied by the sound of la-la-la, this throwing machine was gone.

"Perfect!" On Shaoxin Mountain, the artillery battalion commander watched the last throwing machine disappear into his field of vision, and this last cannon was operated by him himself.

"Not bad, not bad!" Although Long Bin's ears were buzzing, he still couldn't help but praise loudly, in the previous exercises, he had only seen the firing of a single cannon, and it was the first time he had seen this kind of scene of firing more than a dozen cannons at the same time. "The power is infinite, with this thing, from now on, what peerless generals in the world will be extinct, no matter who you are, once you pass by, there will be nothing."

Long Bin is a little regretful, with this thing, in the future, what hundreds of enemies, thousands of people will be killed, I'm afraid it can only exist in the storyteller's romance.

"Adjust the artillery position, prepare to attack the city wall, and the general attack of the division commander is about to begin." Long Bin ordered loudly, the loss of consciousness was only short-lived, and his train of thought was immediately pulled back into the battle in front of him.

"Adjust the gun positions, change the shells, prepare to kill the resistance on the city walls, and open the passage for the army!" The artillery battalion commander shouted.

One cannon after another began to slowly turn the muzzles of the black holes.

On Shaoxi Mountain, a firework flew into the air, snapped, exploded into countless fiery red bright flowers, scattered as meteors scattered and scattered, saw the scattered fiery red Han star, opposite Wuguan, under the banner of the Han Army, the big drum suddenly beaten, and the sound of the offensive military horn immediately sounded in the phalanx.

In the whirl, the siege vehicle that has just been spliced slowly moves forward on the top of the soldier's pull, the siege vehicle of the Han Kingdom is not temporarily cut down trees when it is close to the siege, but done in advance, disassembled into a section of parts loaded on the carriage and transported to the battlefield, on the occasion of the battle, and then assemble the parts, the basic skeleton of the entire siege vehicle is made of steel pine, the bottom is installed with tires, and it does not waste much effort to push, more importantly, this kind of siege vehicle that is several zhang high, almost flush with the city wall, It also has considerable attack power, and above the top layer, several divine machine crossbows are the death scythes that harvest life for the defenders of the city.

The latest siege vehicle of the Han Kingdom is hung with iron plates on the entire outside, about a finger thick iron plate, which can not only resist the attack of crossbow arrows, it is a stone cannon, but also leave a depression on it at most, in the eyes of the defenders, this thing is a steel monster. If there is anything he is afraid of, it is that he is afraid of artillery like Han Guo, or the throwing explosive bag in Wuguan City that could have been used against him, which is why Mei Hua wanted to destroy all the throwing machines in the city in the first place.

In addition to the siege vehicle, the new division is also equipped with another siege weapon, this thing is similar to an oblique bridge deck, the front is extremely high, almost as high as the siege vehicle, and the second half is attached to the ground, the whole equipment is tens of meters long, there are twelve tires on each side of the bottom edge, the Han army called it the trestle, after he was pushed to the edge of the city, the front end directly to the city wall, the cavalry of the siege force can directly rush up the city wall along the trestle, and the infantry can also rush up from above.

These two weapons that make the Chu army helpless, of course, are not expensive, the price of each is staggering, and now it is only equipped with the Young Guards, and the other troops are still not equipped.

Zhang Qian stared at the slowly approaching monster, it was not that he had never seen similar weapons, but they were all made of Sentou, there were too many things to destroy him, but the things that appeared in front of him now, even the bed crossbow was helpless, the bed crossbow fired hit the target, making him shake a few times at most, but the divine crossbow that followed was enough to make there be no more living life near the bed crossbow.

How to keep? Can't hold it! Zhang Qian shouted wildly in his heart.

"Prepare to take over, hand-to-hand combat!" He drew the saber from his waist, and the only way to hold the walls now was for the soldiers to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Han soldiers who were about to enter the city.

Rows of Chu soldiers with swords and spears poured in front of the city wall, and on the opposite side of them were the opponent's large siege engines that were slowly approaching. (To be continued.) )
