Chapter 43: Caliber is Justice, Range is Truth (257/583)

Boom Boom Boom –

Four earth-shattering loud bangs exploded on the plain where the two armies were facing each other.

The fire python gushed out in the wilderness, and it was extremely dazzling to look at in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Guan Hongye and the others, who were fighting outside the two miles, were frightened and neighed in horror under their crotches, and a young general was even more frightened and fell off his horse.

The soldiers of the government standing near the 'law field', many of them were buzzing in their ears, and they were so frightened that even the formation was a little chaotic.

A few miles away from the thunder during the day, even Qin Jing and the others, who were negotiating in Xiangyang City, were trembling, and they all turned their heads to look at the north:

"Here it is again......"

"Why is it so loud? It's not the same as last time......"

"Hurry up, hurry, suffer, send someone to see ......"

……

Compared with the shock of Qin Jing and others, Guan Hongye's side was indescribably shocked.

Before the frightened horses under his crotch could be stabilized, Guan Hongye opened his mouth wide and looked incredulously at the Chu army defense line in the distance.

I saw four fire pythons gushing out, but in an instant, the earthen rampart in front of the defense line was blasted open a gap, and the top of the nearby arrow tower exploded directly, splitting in the firelight; The remaining two smashed directly into the neatly arranged crossbow positions, and dozens of soldiers around them flew on the spot.

"Ahh

Beyond the noisy screams was the silence of tens of thousands of troops.

The 20,000 Chu troops guarding the defensive line were all stunned to look at the place that was bombarded by artillery fire in the distance, and it was difficult to understand what caused the scene here. Xu Jiajun was three miles away, and he couldn't even see people clearly, how could he send such a powerful object to the defense line?

The silence of the two armies did not last long.

Xu Buling stood in front of the army and raised the horse lance again.

The Jianghu artists who stood on the high platform were also frightened enough by the loud noise, but they still had to act well after receiving the money. The old Taoist priest hurriedly waved the flag, and according to Xu Buling's guidance, he continued to say aloud:

"With my true qi, I will be in harmony with the creation of heaven and earth! Break! ”

Boom Boom Boom –

There were four more earth-shattering loud noises, waking everyone in the two armies.

After the Chu army's defense line was blown open four gaps again, the soldiers were obviously panicked, and many people hid in Tibet and became headless flies.

The guards were stunned, and the Crazy Trend soldiers returned to their original positions; But three miles away, the bed crossbow was already the end of the strong crossbow, and the three-thousand-pound heavy cannon came over, and no matter the people, horses, masonry and stone were all torn apart, there was no room to fight back. No matter how high morale is, how long can it last in this situation?

Boom Boom Boom –

In the time of half a cup of tea, three rounds of shelling continued in a row, and the Chu army's defense line was already full of gunsmoke.

Guan Hongye and many court generals were dumbfounded, standing in place in a daze, not even knowing what to say, just looking at the old Taoist priest who was shouting blindly and the law field covered by the white cloth in shock.

After the initial shock, the original worries disappeared and gradually became excited; With the help of such gods and men, what barrier can't be broken? The other party was so frightened that they threw away their armor, and they couldn't fight such a simple battle, so they deserved to die on the battlefield.

After being stunned for a moment, the general of the government hurriedly ran to Xu Buling's side and said in a deep voice:

"General, the distraction of the opposing army is scattered, now is a good time to attack the past, the last general ......"

Xu Buling carried the horse lance and raised his hand slightly: "Don't worry, you can't hit us, let's bomb for half an hour first." ”

The general was stunned, and the secret road came down for half an hour, and there could still be a living person on the other side? However, the longer the bombardment, the better it must be, and he didn't say much, holding his sword and waiting impatiently beside him.

After four or five rounds of heavy artillery bombardment, the defenders behind the Chu army's defensive line were obviously out of proportion. Xu Buling raised his hand, Xu Ying took a thousand foot soldiers, pushed the eight small cannons forward, there were soldiers holding huge shields to block the bow and arrows, and there was heavy artillery fire in the rear to suppress and cover, and arrived at the defense line one mile away.

As the old Taoist priest waved the flag again, twelve cannons rang out across the plain.

Under the rounds of shelling, the Chu army's defense line soon became a mess, the high-walled fortress was like paper paste, and the middle one was torn apart; The Chu army was waiting to be blown up like a lottery, and where the pressure was beared, all the soldiers began to retreat, leaving the coverage of the artillery, and no matter how the general trended, they stopped moving.

Xu Buling saw that the situation was almost over, so he drove his horse forward for half a mile, and then continued the shelling, and so on, until the Chu army had a psychological breakdown and began to retreat to Xiangyang on a large scale, and then led the army to rush into the Chu army's defense line......

Boom Boom Boom –

The artillery fire outside Xiangyang City lasted for nearly two hours.

Above the city, Qin Jing held the handsome sword, his knuckles were white, and he watched the cannon sound in the distance getting closer and closer, feeling like a giant tiger dripping with saliva and opening its bloody mouth to come over, but there was no way to do it.

The generals of Chengtou Mountain were already panicked, and they ran back and forth to let the sappers strengthen the fortifications, but it was obviously not of much effect to sharpen their guns in such a battle.

The sun sinks into the skyline, and when the moon rises from the top of the mountain, you can clearly see the flickering fires in the distance. The defenders who had fled from the outpost also lost their armor and fled back to the city walls.

Qin Jing looked down from the top of the city, but saw that the nearly 20,000 defenders did not die at all, and the people who fled back did not even have scars and blood stains on their bodies, indicating that they did not confront the enemy army head-on at all.

He was furious and said:

"Who told you to return?! Resist Lao Tzu, and there will be 20,000 people on the opposite side......"

The general on horseback below, sweating profusely and pale, responded anxiously:

"General, I can't stand at all, I wanted to lead the troops to rush out, but the soldiers were afraid of the other party's magic and had begun to flee to the mountains on the left and right......"

Before the two sentences were finished, a loud bang appeared on the city wall of Xiangyang.

"Coming, coming......"

"Run......"

The defenders who fled under the city walls and wanted to enter the city were terrified when they saw this, and began to flee frantically to both sides.

Qin Jing and many generals were numb from the shock, and when they looked at it, they saw that on the city wall in the distance, the masonry was torn apart, and the battlements were smashed open a gap, directly through the battlements on the other side, and smashed into the barracks under the city walls.

"It's ......"

"How is this possible......"

Qin Jing's face changed suddenly, and he searched for it on the ground under the moonlight, but saw three small fire points lit up three miles away, and then three loud noises came from the city wall again, and the tall city wall that was still solid just now suddenly had four more abscess-like scars.

The adjutant general was so frightened that he sat on the ground, got up in a hurry, and pulled Qin Jing to run down the city: "General, general!" Hurry down, it's dangerous here......"

————

Boom Boom Boom –

In the long night, it seemed that only the earth-shattering noise of selecting people to devour was left.

Guan Hongye rode a horse, followed behind the 20,000 soldiers, and looked at Xu Buling in disbelief.

The dozens of generals behind him also had similar expressions.

The defense line that originally belonged to the Chu army was full of holes and had long been empty. The trenches on the ground and the rejection of horses were filled in and cleared, and a road to the bottom of Xiangyang City was opened.

Seeing that Xu Buling stopped again, three miles away from Xiangyang City, he bombarded the city wall with artillery round after round. Guan Hongye was silent, sitting on the horse and not knowing how to describe it; Perhaps for the first time in all these years of leading troops, he felt that fighting a war was such a simple matter; This is like a heavy cavalry equipped with armor and cavalry, and the other party is a farmer with a hoe, and he doesn't need to think about it at all, just run it forward.

How many of these things are in the Xiliang Army?

If you use this to pass the middle road, Qianyang Pass, Zhenhu Pass, and even the city wall of Chang'an City, what is the point?

The deputy general next to him, obviously not thinking long-term about Hongye, looked at the back for a while, walked up to him, and said softly:

"General, according to the speed of this 'spell casting', the wall of Xiangyang City can chisel a gap in an hour at most, let's ...... Just do nothing? ”

Hearing this, Guan Hongye came back to his senses, and he was about to walk to Xiangyang City, and the soldiers under his command were still waiting more than ten miles away. The city wall of Xiangyang is a live target, and without the power of the backhand, it will be hit out of the gap sooner or later. The city is within reach, if he doesn't move after Xu Buling enters, Xu Buling will definitely cut off his head as a urinal.

Guan Hongye hesitated and raised his hand: "Order the three armies, follow His Royal Highness the Prince to attack Xiangyang, everything is subject to the orders of the Prince, and do not miss the fighter." ”

On the battlefield, it is always the battle record that speaks, the soldier protects his life and earns military merits, whoever can kill the least people and kill the most enemies, the soldier must be towards whomever he wants.

At this point, even if the emperor tried to protect Guan Hongye as the commander, the courtiers and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses would no longer listen to him; No matter how big or small, he will ask Xu Buling what he means, after all, Xu Buling is better at fighting than him.

As the head coach but running behind other people's butts, the name of the coach has already existed in name only, even if he doesn't want to, he can't help it.

After Guan Hongye looked at the direction of Xiangyang, he was silent for a moment, then turned his horse's head and walked alone in the direction of Dengzhou.

Tu Qianchu carried two copper hammers, and after Guan Hongye left, he looked at the dozens of court generals behind him:

"Guan Shuai has spoken, everything is subject to the order of the prince, go back to lead the troops, and attack Xiangyang with the general."

"No!"

Many generals also came out to earn military merits, seeing Xiangyang's hand, they must be thinking about getting a piece of the pie in the past, and after the instructions of Hongye, without hesitation, Pegasus returned to the rear where Chen soldiers were presented, and each led his troops out of battle.

Soon, more than 100,000 rebel troops showed their figures on the plains, and 50,000 Xiliang troops were in front, holding the banner of the word 'Xu', and approached the city of Xiangyang......
