A hundred paces, the divine machine crossbow mounted on the siege vehicle began to fire, and the sound of crossbow arrows sounded, and one after another crossbow arrows were like poisonous snakes, pounced on the city. The gangway was still moving forward slowly.

On the city wall, the Chu army at the front shrank under the battlements, and the rear raised one big shield after another, close together, the crossbow arrows shot on the shield, the strong force made the crossbow arrows deeply embedded in the shield, the hand holding the shield could not bear the force, and fell back, the arm was tightly attached to the chest, and the shield hit the face.

The crossbow arrows are so dense that as long as the shield in someone's hand is slightly crooked, immediately a crossbow arrow will come in through the gap, mercilessly embedded in the flesh, the blood is marked, but the person can't fall, the front and back are all soldiers ready to take on hand-to-hand combat, and they are actually caught in it.

Forty steps, the two sides can already see each other's faces clearly, on the city wall, a dense drum beat suddenly sounded, with the sound of drums, a row of Chu troops suddenly stood up from behind the wall battlements, the grenade that was already tight in their hands was lit with a flotine rope, rounded their arms, and threw them under the front city.

Hundreds of grenades were thrown from the city wall at the same time, as dense as raindrops, some of the fuses burned faster, and exploded in the air, and the air waves set off by the explosion threw the surrounding grenades away without purpose, and in an instant, a rumbling explosion sounded under the city walls, whether it was a siege vehicle, or a gangway, the outside was wrapped with iron plates, and the grenades made by the Chu State were not powerful enough, and it was difficult to threaten these giant shapes, and the debris that exploded was only a wave of air that knocked these iron plates clanging, and set off a wave of air, It's just enough to make these heavy guys sway from side to side, but for those soldiers. The damage was still great, even if he was wearing armor and holding a shield, but this kind of broken porcelain that flew irregularly, and even exploded in the air, still caused great damage to the siege soldiers, and fell down one by one.

The Divine Crossbow on the siege platform returned fire angrily. No matter how fast the hands and feet of those Chu soldiers who threw grenades, they could not compare with the speed of the crossbow arrows breaking through the air.

However, there is always a gap in the shooting of the crossbow, once the shooting is stopped, there are Chu soldiers who leaned out and threw out the grenades in their hands, and some of them were clever, and they had already seen that the suppressive shooting on the siege vehicle was too sharp. When throwing the grenade, aimed at the siege vehicle, at this time between the two is only more than 30 steps away, the height of the siege vehicle is almost level at the head of the city, more than a dozen grenades are thrown over, there is a small half of it on the siege vehicle, after a loud noise, there are no living people on the siege vehicle. Several divine machine crossbows were also blown up, and the suppression and shooting were immediately stalled.

The siege vehicle was a dumb fire. The Chu army above the city suddenly relaxed, and more people leaned out and threw grenades at the Han soldiers who were moving on the city wall below.

On Shaoxi Mountain, Long Bin looked at the situation under the city, jumped to his feet in a hurry, and shouted angrily to the artillery battalion commander with a white face: "Hurry up." Haven't tuned it yet? See, how many casualties have we had? ”

"Captain Long, why is this in a hurry? The previous shots were all aimed at the city, where there were only the enemy. Now that the distance between the two sides is so close, if a shot misses and hurts my own people, the division commander will not cut off my head when he turns around. The artillery battalion commander was also anxious, and while answering Long Bin, he turned back and roared at his subordinates, "Okay, no, okay, no, okay, open fire to me, shoot at the city, they are crowded together, what a good goal, a cannon is a big piece of it!" ”

In the midst of the anxiety of the two, a cannon finally adjusted the angle, and the cannon commander gave a thumbs up, squinted his eyes for a moment, and roared, "Fire!" ”

With a roar, a jet-black cannonball erupted from the chamber and fell down the mountain like a meteor.

At the head of Wuguan City, the sound of the explosion of the grenade made the sound of the cannon roaring on Shaoxi Mountain no longer seem so abrupt, and the Chu army above the city head tried its best not to let the siege vehicles and gangways of the Han army lean against the city, because in that case, they would have to face to face with the Han army, which was the first in the field world, whether it was weapons or armor or personal ability, the Chu army knew very well that they would not be the opponent of the Han army in front of them.

At this moment of death, they completely forgot that above their heads, there was a sharp sword that could destroy them.

The first flowering bullet landed in the dense crowd above the city wall, and exploded violently, and the explosion of air waves, whizzing fragments, instantly emptied all living things within a few meters of the explosion point.

This is not the end, but the starting point, after the first bomb exploded above the city, from the Shaoxi Mountain, two after three cannonballs flew down on the city wall, each time it fell, it would clear a large open space from the city. Of course, it wasn't really an open space, but the people who were originally standing were lying down at this time. Some are already dead, some are still convulsive on the ground, and many more are lying on the ground**, rolling.

Zhang Gan looked at the mountain with blood-red eyes, he couldn't resist this attack at all, "Retreat, retreat, hide, hide." He yelled.

There was a panic on the city wall, and there were running Chu soldiers everywhere, and the desperate attack just now was because they could still see the enemy's casualties and reflect their own value, but now, this kind of fighting style that can't be beaten by the light and can't be beaten, and the casualties are very large, but it makes them instantly have signs of collapse.

"Boom, boom!" On Shaoxi Mountain, Long Bin shouted and jumped, the artillery continued to roar, one by one the cannonballs cleaned up everything on the city wall, with the sound of clanging, the siege vehicle leaned heavily on the city wall, the crossbow began to shoot wildly, the trestle bridge also took the head of the city, and the avenues of siege have been opened by the Han army.

The cannons on Shaoxi Mountain finally stopped roaring, and at this time, on the trestle bridge, the Han army had already swarmed up, and on the siege vehicles, the Han soldiers also climbed rapidly up the ladder inside. Before the Chu army recovered from the panic, the Han army had already poured onto the city wall in large numbers.

The two sides finally faced each other and killed together, starting from the first cannon on Shaoxi Mountain, to the Han soldiers attacking the city wall, they only spent half an hour of effort, this may be the fastest siege speed that Zhang Qian has ever heard, not to mention a dangerous city like Wuguan, it is an ordinary small city, in the past, it was impossible to take it easily.

Above the city, the soldiers of the two sides fought hand-to-hand together, and the panicked Chu army had not yet come to its senses, facing the Han army like a wolf and a tiger, it had no power to parry at all, and was beaten back again and again, leaving corpses everywhere.

Zhang Qian sighed, knowing that the city wall could not be held at all.

"Retreat, retreat to the pass, fight alley by alley, fight house by house, no one will die, no truce." Zhang Qian roared loudly, "If Wuguan is lost, my 200,000 troops of Dachu will die and have no place to be buried." ”

On Shaoxi Mountain, the artillery battalion commander watched the Han soldiers climb the city wall one after another, and the heavy gate was also blown open by explosives, and when more troops poured in, he couldn't help laughing, "The city is broken, the city is broken, what is the world's heroic pass, in front of our Han Dynasty, it is simply not worth mentioning." ”

Long Bin is not as optimistic as him, as a commander general, he can see clearly on the mountain, although the Han army poured onto the city wall, but the Chu army did not completely collapse, but retreated to the pass in an orderly manner, some people organized, some people broke off, and the pass, is a complex street, houses, large complex areas will become the next battlefield.

"It's not so easy, the city wall is indeed occupied, but the next street battle may be more cruel, the enemy is not without the strength of a fight, but took the initiative to abandon the city wall, they know very well that they can't have the upper hand in the slightest to fight with our army on the city wall, but when they enter the pass, they are more familiar with the streets, and they are more aware of the structure of the houses, and the fierce battle is still to come!" Long Bin said: "I'll leave you five hundred people to guard the cannon, and I'm going to go down to the battle, how about it, no problem!" ”

"Okay, no problem, now that the two sides are fighting together, my cannons won't work." The artillery battalion commander nodded again and again.

Zhang Qian, who retreated to the pass, looked at the generals and generals in the house, and said sharply: "Everyone, raise troops for a thousand days, use soldiers for a while, the Han army has sharp artillery fire, and the individual combat ability is excellent, but we can't hold the city wall, it doesn't mean that we have failed, we are still in this battlefield, next, I can't directly command you anymore, each person with his own subordinates, occupy a laneway, or a house, fight with the enemy inch by inch, to make every inch of land, stained with the blood of the Han army, everyone knows very well, If we give up Wuguan, even if we can escape back, but the 200,000 troops of General Qu will be finished, this is the essence of our country, they are finished, is our Great Chu still far from the country? Then even if we can survive, we can only become slaves of the country, I don't want to say anything more, please fight, sons of Da Chu, unless you fall, you can no longer hold your sword. ”

"The longer we fight, the more likely it is that reinforcements will come, don't forget, we still have thousands of troops escorting grain and grass, they are not far from us, when they get the news, they will come back to help us, and General Qu Wan will get the news, he will also return to the army at full speed, we support one more day, the greater the possibility that the army can safely withdraw from Wuguan, for the sake of Da Chu!"

"For Da Chu!" The generals in the room shouted angrily.

As soon as Zhang Qian fell to the ground, all the generals turned around, left the room one by one, and rushed to their own battlefield with their subordinates. (To be continued.) )
