Chapter 306: Earth-shattering

"What about the dead and wounded?" Zhao Xing asked Shang Jie who joined the army, and Shang Jie replied lightly: "More than 5,000 were injured and 2,000 died." ”

Zhao Xing's heart tightened: "With such advanced equipment and such strong armor, we have lost so much in the first battle, the Qin people are really the strongest army in the world." It seems that if I take the city in five days, it will be a big deal. Then he sighed: "This kind of damage is really unaffordable for our small population of Datang." ”

"Do we still attack or not?" Shang Jie asked.

Zhao Xing didn't twist his head, but said coldly: "Why not?" Summoned Lin Hu, Poxi Army launched, summoned Zhao Wuji, besieged army to prepare, attack-"

The war drums sounded again, and all the Tang troops were not discouraged by the lack of results in the first battle, and the strength of the enemy aroused the soldiers' desire to fight for strength, which is the unique temperament of the emerging group.

With the sound of war drums, the Pxi army once again launched a whirlwind cannon, and the dense stones flew towards the city again.

At the head of the city, a large shield was immediately erected to block the stone projectiles of the whirlwind cannon.

As soon as Lin Hu saw that such a blow was not effective, he immediately ordered to replace it with a precious fire oil bomb.

The fire oil bomb flew out, and the head of the city was immediately replaced with a bronze shield.

Lin Hu ordered again, and the stone bombs were mixed with fire oil bombs, which made the city continue to have casualties.

In the face of the various white defensive methods, Zhao Xing gritted his teeth: "This is the first time that my Datang has faced Qiang Qin, and this battle must be resolved quickly to enhance the momentum of Datang, so that our soldiers will face Qiang Qin in the future and overwhelm them psychologically." Then he decisively ordered: "Take out my earth-shattering thunder and blow up the city wall." ”

The earth-shattering thunder is the gunpowder that Zhao Xing has worked hard to configure under the study of the Hundred Techniques Palace.

Because of the scarcity of sulfur and the backward purification process of saltpeter, in the past three years, only less than 500 catties have been produced, and the high price has simply made Zhao Xing, who is not short of money and does not spare money, feel pain.

But this time, Zhao Xing was still ready to use him. He firmly believed that the moment the gunpowder exploded, the morale of the Tang army would burst into the sky, and the superstitious Qin people would collapse, so that the next time they saw my god stick Zhao Xing, they would have a huge psychological shadow.

Under the strict protection of the five hundred junqiu soldiers of Zhao Xing's army, the soldiers brought a large box weighing 100 catties.

After Zhao Xing once again strictly explained the method of use, he ordered a hundred monarchs to use a giant shield to protect it tightly, and rushed towards the city.

Looking at the Junqiu Shi who was speeding away, Zhao Xing gritted his teeth and said: "Bai Qi, right, just to make you tremble in front of me in the future, I originally planned to capture Fushi in five days, but changed it, and at sunset today, we will meet in the city." ”

In the enemy's large array, a group of people who were tightly protected by large shields suddenly rushed over, which immediately attracted the attention of the Qin army in the city. A chief ran to Bai Qi's side and reported loudly to him: "General Duwei, in the enemy's battle group, there is suddenly a group of enemies who are closely protected by a big shield, and they are covering our city wall, it must not be a good thing, please show the general." ”

Looking in the direction of this long finger, sure enough, in the dense enemy attack formation, a huge turtle composed of large shields was rushing towards the city.

Zhao Xing's weapons are sharp, and fresh tricks emerge in an endless stream, which makes Bai Qi have to be a hundred times more careful.

The enemy turtle that rushed over was definitely the enemy or something, and this had to be guarded against.

So, Bai Qi decisively ordered: "The bed crossbows on the city, all aimed at the enemy's turtles, shoot at me." ”

The bed crossbow is very powerful, and Qin is the most. Twenty bed crossbows in the city, aiming spear-like arrows at the turtle shell together, fired together, the blow was extremely great.

Twenty spear-like giant arrows roared and flew towards the giant shield protection of Junqiushi, and for a while, the shield split and scattered, and the elite Junqiushi among the elite was killed and wounded.

But the cracked turtle shell only closed again in the blink of an eye, and continued to rush towards the city wall.

Seeing that the enemy was so tenacious, and Bai Qi, who dodged a flying stone bullet, stared at them deadly, he was even more convinced that this was a very dangerous thing that existed underneath.

"Bed crossbow, shoot, shoot."

But the bed crossbow in the city was cumbersome, and the five Hercules were already sweating, but if they were to fire again, they would have to be two quarters of an hour later.

Fire oil, burn, burn them.

With Bai Qi's order, jars of vegetable oil were smashed down.

When the vegetable oil fell, the turtle shell naturally cracked and took refuge.

But the sharpshooters under the city aimed at this section of the city wall together in the gallop, and the accurate and dense rain of arrows flew up, suppressing the soldiers in the city, so that the soldiers in the city could not raise their heads. As soon as a person shows his body, he is immediately shot into a hedgehog.

The turtle shell under the city was directly discarded, and ten strong men, desperately carrying a wooden box, rushed to the root of the city.

Bai Qi saw that the enemy was suppressing the city head so at any cost and protecting the wooden box, and he felt the danger of this wooden box even more, so he showed a rare look of nervousness and panic, and jumped to his subordinates: "Shoot, fierce fire oil, throw, at all costs, you must prevent that wooden box from approaching the city wall." ”

Seeing a calm lieutenant so panicked, all the Qin troops defending the city also felt the pressure, and they no longer cared about their own safety, desperately leaning out of their bodies and throwing fire oil under the city. Every fire oil thrown down costs 1~2 lives, and on this section of the city wall, the layers of corpses are constantly increasing.

"Don't stop, keep going, rocket, rocket, shoot me, be sure to burn that wooden box for me."

As the fire oil of the city walls was dumped, the fire of rockets ignited a raging fire around the team of less than 100 people.

However, this team of less than 100 people, no one cared about his life, but desperately protected the wooden box, from a little damage, the fire oil splashed on the wooden box, those people covered it with earth, the rocket flew to the wooden box, and there were one warrior after another, desperately pounced on the wooden box, with their bodies, blocking the rockets that were shot down.

The more this is the case, the more it proves the importance of this wooden box, the more it proves that this wooden box is afraid of fire, and the city does not hesitate to destroy this wooden box without any casualties, and the city does not care about any losses to protect this wooden box and charge towards the city root.

Unconsciously, this battle between the two sides of more than 100,000 people had given up their fundamental goal of Fushi City, and the hearts of more than 100,000 people rushed to this wooden box.

After nearly a hundred Junqiu soldiers were killed and wounded, the wooden box was stuffed under the city wall.

Seeing this, Zhao Xing ordered the Junqiu soldiers behind him to face his big array and shout to his brothers: "The widow casts the heavenly thunder, and the whole army retreats to dodge." ”

As Jun Qiushi behind Zhao Xing shouted over and over again, the Tang army suddenly receded like the sea at low tide.

When Bai Qi heard such a shout, he was stunned at the head of the city.

The attack of the 30,000 Tang Army just now was covering that wooden box, this wooden box, is it really a thunderbolt? Zhao Xing, what kind of means does that magic stick have?

When he was worried about it, he suddenly felt a shock under his feet, and the entire city wall seemed to tremble, and then a cloud of black smoke and black and red flames rushed up into the sky, and a rolling thunder suddenly broke out, and the loud sound of the stone shattered the earth, so that the soldiers near the sound could not stand - like thunder, Zhao Xing's earth-shattering thunder was powerful.
