Because this wall has been burned with fire, so there are not many defenders at the head of the city, and there is no one to attack the city at the moment, the lethality to the soldiers is not great, but the whole city wall collapsed because of the explosion, although the wall of the building is five zhang high, eight zhang wide at the bottom, and six zhang wide at the top, the wall of the building is thick and heavy, and the explosion effect of a large amount of gunpowder only has a destructive effect, and the whole city wall cannot be completely knocked down, but the blow to the confidence of the defenders is self-evident

Luo Hou, who had just been withdrawn from the front and was resting and recuperating, saw this rare opportunity, while expanding the results of the battle with mortars, suppressing the defenders who were going to help with crossbows and bows, and organizing ladders and watchtowers to rush to the city block that had collapsed more than a foot

Stones, crossbow arrows, Fireworks beads flew in the air, causing a lot of trouble to the defenders who went to surrender, but the carved parts of the city wall that fell down in an inclined shape were loose bricks and stones, and they wanted to pounce quickly, and it was also very difficult for the soldiers of the Heavenly Army to rush up, and the defenders on the left and right sides of the city used stone cannons and crossbow arrows to cross, and used strong firepower to prevent the Ying Heavenly Army from approaching, and on the other hand, they organized a large number of people to block the gaps, and many people and healthy women who had already been called to wait in the city were intimidated by the officers and soldiers of Xuanwu, and the sandbags that had been prepared for a long time were ordered to be prepared by Kang Huaizhen when he presided over the defense of the city, but now Kang Huaizhen did not think of preparing these things at will, but they came in handy

Outside the city, the soldiers did not hesitate to pour down on them, many people fell with sandbags, and even people filled the city wall with soil, and the sandbags were gradually raised, and the section of the city wall was gradually flattened, followed by countless mud and water to fill the gaps, and the bottom was loose and uneven, and the top was a layer of mud, which was not easy to climb

However, the people and people who repaired the city wall have left more than 500 corpses, and this hastily filled city wall is strong and limited, and the defense facilities on the city have also been destroyed, and the defenders are not easy to play the geographical effect, and it is easy to become the main attack direction of the Ying Tian army, and the Ying Tian army still concentrated a number of siege equipment to move here in echelons

At this time, it was already sunset, and the curtain was stained on the city

"Let's fight at night with the lantern of the festival marshal," Fang Wenchong, who had just retreated to rest, bandaged his upper body and left arm, and rushed to Duan Mingyu with a fierce brow

Duan Mingyu silently watched the battlefield for a long time, weighed it in his heart, shook his head for a while, and ordered: "Mingjin withdraws the troops."

Fang Wenchong was stunned and shouted: "Collect the troops"

Duan Mingyu looked at him coldly and asked lightly, ...... They didn't hear my orders

Fang Wenchong looked back and shouted: "Collect the troops, collect the troops, Mingjin and collect the troops."

The soldiers retreated, the noise of the fighting stopped, the battlefield suddenly became surprisingly quiet, and many of the soldiers who were physically exhausted realized that they had exhausted even the last of their strength, and they staggered back to the camp, and then fell to the ground and did not move again

The ruins of the city were littered with bloody corpses, some of which were still hanging upside down on the top of the city or half-hung on giant arrows, and the broken ladders, city carts, and moat bridges were still burning to announce the tragic battle that had just taken place here

Zhu Wen is also very weak-minded, although he has a favorable geographical advantage, and once he faces such a strong enemy, he will have a headache, but he has to bite the bullet and deal with Li Keyong and Duan Mingyu, it turns out that there is nothing to do, don't think about it, the consequences of pit people are very serious, even if you are completely sure

Duan Mingyu turned around and looked at Bianliang City again, Duan Mingyu felt a lot of emotion in his heart, it was really not easy to build this Bianliang City, but no matter how big the sacrifice of this Bianliang City was, it was worth paying attention to his own Songzhou, a city that had been emerging for two years, and the radiation of the surrounding areas could not be compared to such an ancient city, only shrimp could be raised on the shoals, and Jiaolong could never be raised, so that he could realize his grand cause step by step

"Lord Wang, Bianliang City has been crippled, and the broken city will be broken tomorrow, as soon as the city gate is opened, 10,000 heavily armored knights under my command will rush into the breach, and the arrows will not work against the heavily armored cavalry covered in iron, but once they rush into the city, the breach will stabilize the results, and 30,000 light cavalry will then drive into the king, and then send troops to the city, and then enter the city to capture and kill Zhu Wen, this thief."

"Little Brother Duan is really so sure," Li Ke asked suspiciously

"I am willing to make a military order," Duan Mingyu affirmed, these few rì city walls have been broken many times, but because the follow-up people have not kept up, they have missed good opportunities again and again

After deliberation, Duan Mingyu finally formulated this siege strategy

The second rì Duan Mingyu beat drums and gathered the generals' army, the fourth watch, the fifth watch, and the fifth watch, when it was dawn, they were already neatly arrayed outside Bianliang City

Hundreds of mortar cannons exude a cold cold light, the muzzles of the cannons pointed upwards at the walls of Bianliang City, countless cloud cars, cloud ladders, siege crossbows, rockets, fierce fire and oil, waiting for the battle, with the commander-in-chief Duan Mingyu ordering, the muzzles of the hundred mortars at the same time spewed blazing flames, and one by one solid iron bullets mercilessly hit the city wall of Bianliang City, countless brick and stone debris splashed at the city head, and screams came and went

The contest between cold weapons and hot weapons doomed the anti-army soldiers at the head of the city with cold weapons, no matter how sad and angry they scolded the bowstring and drew their fingers to blood, no matter how strong the bow was full, they still couldn't bring the arrows to the front of the Beijing army, but they had to face the overwhelming iron bullets, boulders and siege crossbows that were fiercely nailed to the city walls

"Dashuai, this artillery is really powerful...... Wang Aiqing shouted excitedly in front of the battle, raising the knife in his hand stupidly: "In the future, if we make a situation and mass-produce 1,000 mortars, we can cut off 30% of the enemy's strength with just one round of artillery bombardment."

Duan Mingyu's eyes narrowed, he stretched out his hand and pointed to a certain place on the Bianzhou city wall where there were many bullet points and were already very deep, and said: "Order the gunner to aim at that point, concentrate the artillery fire, and beat Ben Shuai hard, I want to see how many cannons can be used to blast it through the seven-zhang thick city wall."

"Yes"

rumble

A cannonball from the head of Bianzhou City passed by Zhu Wen, but one of the guards behind Zhu Wen was unfortunately hit by an iron bullet in the belly, and without a snort, his limbs were torn apart, and blood and hot internal organs splashed Zhu Wen's body

"It's not good, the enemy army is concentrating artillery fire, and the city wall below is quickly destroyed, and another 2,000 people will be transferred up under the city, and the people will prepare sandbags to plug the mouth."

As soon as the words fell, there was a loud bang, and the head of the city shook like a landslide and the ground cracked, and the city wall in front of Zhu Wen was less than ten zhang and collapsed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye
