523. On May 26 of the third year, it was sunny, and the turbulence was roaring

At ten o'clock in the morning, everything had not yet awakened from the silence, only the frogs by the pond were clamoring vigorously.

Xiangyang City, the figure of this ancient city looks majestic like a mountain in the morning dew, and it looks like a high mountain standing in front of it.

"When the morning star shines, all the gunners will be in position as soon as possible, and the first three rounds of shelling will be carried out, and then the geotechnical team will come forward to erect the pontoon bridge. After the pontoon bridge was erected, the second round of shelling began, and when the cannon opened the city gates, tear gas and bombs were thrown, and no access was allowed through the main entrance, so as to delay the earthworks team as much time as possible so that they could have enough time to plant explosives under the city. ”

In the trenches, Yang Wenguang was assigning tasks to several lower-level generals: "Remember, don't let anyone stand on the city wall!" Be sure to ensure the safety of the geotechnical group. ”

"Yes!"

Zuo Rou, who was in charge of shooting the Yin gun, and the Vulcan Battalion, who was in charge of covering, all responded in unison.

"Remember, no matter how many people there are on the other side and what equipment they are wearing, they must be administered in buffalo doses."

The demon here is gunpowder, because the different amounts of this new smokeless gunpowder charge will lead to different ranges and power of the gun, but because the process is still relatively backward, too much charge will reduce the service life of the gun, so it will generally be charged according to the demand, one-third, one-half and full medicine.

The amount of buffalo they call is the whole medicine, the kind that can kill a buffalo with one shot......

"That big black bull, your geotechnical team must be fast, accurate and steady." Yang Wenguang turned his head to look at the earthwork group: "We have to blow a gap in the city wall as soon as possible, and the Vulcan Battalion and the heavy armor will cover your advance." ”

"I know, I won't waste anything with you, I'll go and see how the brothers are prepared."

"Come back!" Yang Wenguang grabbed the big black bull: "The soil work group is all baby bumps, if you fucking cause me more than ten battle damages, Lao Tzu will come back and ask for your life." ”

"Got it, got it!"

Everything was ready, and then the logistics staff came with a bucket, no one distributed two big steamed buns, a large piece of chicken and a bowl of chicken bone soup, Zuo Rou also leaned on the ditch and ate the bowl.

"County Lord, why bother you to come up." Yang Wenguang sat next to him: "Yun Shuai is too...... Let you go to the front line of this golden branch. ”

"I'm second-line, it's fine." Zuo Rou ate steamed buns and then put the helmet on his head aside: "Your tactics are interesting, I want to learn more." ”

"What are you learning from us, this tactic is not something I made, it's Yun Shuai's method."

Zuo Rou's eyes glared: "Okay!" He didn't even teach me! ”

Yang Wenguang's neck shrunk, and he didn't speak anymore after breakfast. And Zuo Rou raised his head at this time and glanced at the city: "Breaking Xiangyang in one day, I'm afraid that Prince Fu can't do it." ”

"We were also talking on paper before, the marshal said, King Fu asked him to guard Xiangyang, but he couldn't keep it, so he wanted to blow up Xiangyang and let people know that Xiangyang could not be defended."

"Hmm...... It's his temperament. Zuo Rou sat back, ate something in three or two bites, and then poured a big mouthful of soup: "Let's go, I'm going to the whole team." ”

"Be careful...... the county lord"

Looking at Zuo Rou walking through the trenches with her waist bent, looking at her vigorous posture, she thinks that she is also a restless master on weekdays, but what can Yang Wenguang say, the woman of the top boss, the daughter of the generalissimo, this is the existence of all the soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty who have to call the eldest lady when they meet......

However, Zuo Rou was still very forbidden on the battlefield, and she stopped advancing on the 500-meter line, directing the soldiers to start filling the rice bags with dirt, and then using the bags to arrange a circle along the second line of defense. Then there were horses, barbed wire and sentries at both ends.

And at this moment, a flare in the sky cut through the dawning sky, and it rose into the sky with its tail in tow.

"Reload!"

The cannons were pulled open at the same time, more than a hundred guns were pulled open from the red jackets, and the artillerymen began to reload with flames, and then filled the shells into the chambers.

When everything was done, the second morning star rose into the sky again, and the flag bearer of the artillery battalion waved the flag for the first time.

All the cannon muzzles spewed out dazzling fire, like a fire dragon ascending to the sky, and the earth shook the mountains.

The cannonballs hit the city walls of Xiangyang, and the whole city seemed to tremble, and the people and garrisons who were still asleep were awakened.

Sun Zewei hurriedly walked out of the door wearing armor and dragged a soldier passing by: "What's wrong?" ”

"Your Excellency...... Adults are not good...... Lei Gong is angry! ”

"Lei Gong?" Sun Zewei frowned: "What is there Lei Gong, go!" Command someone to go up to the city and see! ”

The soldiers walked up to the city walls, but just in time for the second volley, the huge tremors and smoke frightened the people on the city walls.

Some of them were crawling on the ground crying, and some even stumbled and fell off the wall and died on the spot, anyway, the people of the entire Xiangyang City were shocked and turned pale, and strange rumors circulated among the people and soldiers, that is, Sun Thorn Shi plotted against Tianyan and punished him from heaven......

After the second round of shelling, the outside had stopped for a long time, and a brave man poked his head out of the city wall to look, but at the moment when the smoke and dust cleared, there was a sudden flicker in the distance, and the man had an extra hole in blood on his head, and then fell on his back on the top of the city.

The other soldiers stepped forward one after another, and everyone was frightened when they saw this scene, and the words of gods and ghosts boiled even more.

And when the whole Xiangyang failed to react, the earthwork team had already begun to erect pontoon bridges by the moat with smoke and dust.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the situation was gradually visible from the city, and when they found that it was not a god and a ghost, but a new army in the East China Sea, Sun Zewei ordered the soldiers to immediately go up to the wall to meet the enemy.

But they apparently chose a terrible position, and many of them had an extra hole in their heads just as they were about to draw their bows and shoot down. The gang of people who beat them were caught off guard and dizzy.

"Your Excellency...... The soldiers defending the city could not show their heads, and there seemed to be a demon magic on the opposite side...... If you head out, you'll be killed. ”

"I don't believe in this evil!" Sun Zewei waved his hand: "Shield!" ”

The shield soldiers soon began to set up defenses on the top of the city, and these wooden shields were very good against bows and arrows, but just when they thought they could sit back and relax, a hole suddenly appeared in the center of a wooden shield, and the people behind the hole fell to the ground without any suspense.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the rest of the people immediately converged in the center, and at this moment, the second bullet accurately hit one of them, and the head shot on the spot, and the brain slurry splashed out like a tofu brain, blowing up the faces of the people around them, and the mentality of these soldiers exploded at that time......

"Who fired that shot? It's a beautiful fight, and there are still such sharpshooters in the Vulcan Battalion?! Yang Wenguang took the telescope and looked at the city: "I was terrified on the other side." ”

A soldier next to him went out to inquire, and after a while, he came back: "General, it's the county lord." ”

"Huh?" Yang Wenguang looked back at the musket position: "The county lord is so powerful?" ”

On Zuo Rou's end, as soon as she put down the gun, a person next to her immediately handed over a good bullet, and she was holding the gun and beeping: "You people, the training has been trained to dogs, don't you know to lift up when you shoot arrows?" The faster this arrow is raised, the less it will be lifted, although this musket is fast, but this more than 100 zhang also has to be lifted, not to mention the lower hit. ”

The people around didn't dare to say anything, after all, they shot one shot at a time, and they averaged three or four people, which was really incomparable......

"See that?" Zuo Rou looked proud: "If I say hit his hand, I won't hit him on the head!" ”

After saying that, she pulled the trigger, and the musket fired, and a bullet pierced the shield directly, breaking the man's arm, which was only connected with a layer of skin, and looked extremely miserable.

"Remember! Don't hit the head. Zuo Rou hehehe: "Hit your shoulders, arms, and stomach, don't beat them to death." If you kill a person, you will die, if you injure a person, you say save it, it will take time, effort and people, and if you say you don't save it, it will demoralize you, and you can earn more by injuring one person than killing one. Besides, these people participated in the rebellion, and when we entered the city, Lao Tzu buried all the pits, so that they could see the end of the rebellion. When the earth engineering team will dig a big hole, it will ...... Thirty zhang wide and three zhang deep. Lao Tzu wants to bury him 30,000 or 50,000 yuan. ”

She beeped while putting the gun, knocked out a few and screamed a few times, and was addicted, coupled with her remarks that she was bent on digging pits and burying people, which made the surrounding Vulcan battalion soldiers tremble, I don't know which hell abyss this eldest lady crawled out of the monster......

"Vulcan Battalion!" Yang Wenguang in front of him called out: "Prepare to throw flour!" ”

Zuo Rou was putting the gun, and when she heard this, she turned her head sideways and asked, "What is the flour throw?" ”

A soldier below whispered tremblingly: "It is flour mixed with charcoal and pulverized coal in a paper bag, and the paper bag will fall apart when it hits the city wall, and then ......."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the city in front of him was suddenly covered with gray dust, so thick that it was almost impossible to see a human figure.

At this time, the catapult put a round thing on it, and Yang Wenguang raised the flag: "All lie down!" ”

Zuo Rou looked around, and just as she was about to ask a question, she was pressed to the ground by a hand from behind, and she turned around and glared at Song Beiyun to find that it was Song Beiyun......

"My husband is here."

"Why didn't you stay still?"

"Lying down? For ......"

Before this voice could be asked, the big ball on the trebuchet had been ignited, and then the fireball was sent to the city wall, and then an earth-shattering and unprecedented violent noise came, and the earth shook as if someone was ramming the earth, and countless debris, clods, and stones flew everywhere, and even the new army in the East China Sea hundreds of meters away was shrouded in these debris, and then the city suddenly became silent, and then the screams of the soldiers in the city came one after another, like a ghost cry from the abyss.

"This ......" Zuo Rou looked at Song Beiyun pitifully: "My ears are buzzing ......"

Xiao Song checked her ears: "It's okay, the eardrum is not broken." The next time I listen to the command, what if I get hurt? ”

"First time...... I don't understand. Zuo Rou nodded seriously: "I'll know next time." ”

Xiao Song nodded, got up and looked at Xiangyang City, and said to the starter next to him: "Prepare for the third round of shelling, and cover the earthwork team after the cannon." ”
