The summer rain came and went as quickly as it came, and it rained all night, but the sky began to clear the next morning.

As soon as the sky cleared, Li Chen's side was in full swing to attack Fu Yang.

"Array, go."

Fan shouted loudly, and the swarthy phalanx of the Qin army immediately rushed towards the camp gate.

The infantry was at the front, Li Chen's precious artillery followed closely the infantry array, and the cavalry moved flanks on both flanks.

Fu Yang is a small county in Surabaya County, and there is an open field in front of this county seat, and there are no moats or other obstacles.

"The thief general Zhou Bo, quickly open the city and surrender."

After the army was stationed, Fan Xu led more than 1,000 cavalry to the city gate to call for battle.

Speaking of which, Zhou Bo and Fan Xu are still old acquaintances. Both of them are fellow villagers in Pei County, and Zhou Bo ate meat in Fan Xu's dog meat restaurant back then. It's just that now each is his master, one is an official and the other is a thief, and the two are tense when they meet.

At this time, Zhou Bo was on the city wall, he looked at Fan Xu and grinned lightly: "You Fan Xu is really a reckless man, three times the siege, ten times the attack, just with your more than 10,000 soldiers, you also want to capture my Fu Yang, a fool's dream." ”

Zhou Bo's tone towards Fan Xu was very abusive, just like a person who hates the rich sees a person who became rich overnight. In Zhou Bo's eyes, Fan Xu is just a butcher who slaughters dogs on the street, why can he Fan Xu be appreciated by Hou Ye. Once the two of them were trumpeters, and the other was a dog butcher. Therefore, Zhou Bo was very angry about the suddenly developed Fan Xu. Today, he Zhou Bo wants to prove that his talent is above Fan Xu.

"General Qin, who is worthy of a battle."

Fan roared like thunder, riding the black bull back and forth under the city, and the big black bull seemed to be a little restless, making a "moo" cry.

"I, Zhou Bo, are standing on the city, and you have the ability to attack it." Zhou Bo raised the long knife in his hand and shouted.

It's not that Zhou Bo didn't dare to go down to fight with Fan Xu, but now Fu Yang's four city gates have all been gambled to death by the boulder. Piles of boulders are blocked in the doorway, and now people in the city cannot get out, and people outside the city cannot enter. It is not a secret that the Qin army has artillery, although he does not know how powerful the artillery is, but Zhou Bo, who has always been cautious, still gambled the city gate to death in advance.

"Ha, ha, ha."

"You Zhou Bomo aren't scared to pee your pants." Fan Hao laughed and mocked, and the cavalry that followed Fan Hao also laughed when they heard this.

"Shoot the arrows."

Zhou Bo didn't seem to be too lazy to entangle with Fan Xu, and with a wave of his hand, he signaled the archers on the city wall to release arrows towards Fan Xu and the others under the city.

"Bang, bang, bang."

"Hidden arrows hurt people, rats' ears."

Fan Xu raised his shield to block the incoming arrows, and hurriedly retreated backwards, out of range of the bow and arrows.

"Master Hou, this kid is not fooled." Fan Hao retreated to the front of the formation, and said with a snort to the black bull.

Liu Bang's rebels are mostly composed of rangers and hunters in the city, although these people have good martial arts, but they are a rabble after all. This kind of improvised army is okay to fight a good battle, but if it goes out of the city to fight in the field, it will definitely not be the opponent of the Shenwu army.

"Can the artillery still work?" Li Chen asked.

Zhou Bo relied on the city wall as a cover, and the Qin army's strong attack and hard crossbow had limited lethality to the people under the cover. At this time, the best weapon to use is a cannon.

"Report to Master Hou, what can be used is what can be used. It's just that the gunpowder is damp, and forcibly firing the cannon will affect the service life of the barrel. The artillery commander said.

If the damp gunpowder does not burn sufficiently in the barrel, a large amount of gunpowder residue will be produced. The inner wall of the barrel will inevitably become potholes in the long run under the erosion of gunpowder residue. Dry gunpowder burns with less gunpowder residue, while moist gunpowder leaves a large amount of gunpowder residue. It's just that I can't control so much now, and the matter of exterminating Liu Bang is urgent, where do you care about a few cannons.

Seven hundred steps

This distance is the distance of the extinguishing cannon, and it is also the distance of the tiger squat cannon. The exterminator cannon fired solid shells, aimed at Fu Yang's city wall. The Tiger Squat Cannon was loaded with flowering shells aimed at the rebels within the city walls.

"Brother Zhou."

"General Zhou, do you see if the Qin army is going to use that cannon?"

Zhou Bo now likes others to call him General Zhou, and under Zhou Bo's gaze, this little leader of Zhou Bo's fellow villagers can only change his words and shout.

"That's right, it should be that cannon, everyone hide." Zhou Bo clenched the long sword in his hand tightly and hid behind the battlements of the city wall.

"Aim."

"One, two, three."

"Put."

As the small black flag in the hands of the commanding soldiers fell, the first round of shells roared out.

"Boom, boom, boom."

The cannonball exploded fiercely on the city wall of Fuyang, and immediately left deep and shallow scars on the city wall, which was not heavy. Although the rebels behind the city wall were not injured, they could feel the violent shock, and their hearts were inevitably beating rapidly.

"Correct direction."

The black flag of the commander fell, and most of the shells in this round of test firing hit the waist of the city wall. Now it is necessary to focus the shelling on the gates, and in the direction of the battlements.

"Boom, boom, boom."

"Bang, bang, bang."

The sound of artillery began to rage outside Fuyang City, and the cannonballs of the Qin army fell on the city wall like raindrops as if they didn't want money. In Li Chen's eyes, human life is the most important thing, and the problems that can be solved with cannonballs will definitely not be filled with human lives.

"Master Hou, this kid is a thief. actually sealed the city gate with stones, otherwise we would be able to capture this Fuyang City by directly charging with cavalry now. Fan shouted loudly. 、

In the roaring cannons, Fu Yang's city gate had already been torn apart. After the city gate was shattered, it was revealed that there were tons of boulders inside.

"Brother Zhou, they can do witchcraft."

"Let's get out." The rebels on the city wall cried out with blood on their faces, apparently not lightly blown up by the flowering shells.

"Fart."

"Pei Gong is not thin on us, how can I, Zhou Bo, abandon and run away, today I, Zhou Bo, will die on this city wall." Zhou Bo shouted loudly, and his ears were full of buzzing sounds in the roar of artillery fire.

The Qin army bombed Fuyang City for half an hour, and even the artillery that fired the artillery was a little deaf because of the sound of the cannon. It is conceivable that the rebels facing the shelling must have been dizzy by this time.

"Rush, ride the ladder."

In the smoke of gunpowder, Fan Hao took the lead, and behind him was the Qin army who was screaming like a wolf and a tiger, like a black torrent.

At this time, the city wall of Fuyang had become tattered under the raging artillery fire, and there were gaps everywhere, and in some places there was no need for a ladder, and you could climb into the city with your bare hands.

"Defense."

"Prepare for defense."

Zhou Bo pulled up the soldiers who were crawling on the ground one by one, and these soldiers still had the slightest fighting spirit now, and some of them didn't even know where to throw their weapons. At this time, Zhou Bo was also dizzy from the explosion, and his head roared completely by a willpower.
