Wang Jun and Yuan Ping had already rushed to the city wall, however, in the face of the current battle situation, they could not do anything. The other party is not attacking the city wall with the whole army at all, so even if there are a large number of defenders on the wall of the southern city, it will not be useful at this moment. No matter how many soldiers and horses are defending the city, how well the materials are prepared? The Luoyan army bombarded with firearms outside Lixu, and the opponent's formation was five or six hundred steps away from the city wall, and even the most powerful bed crossbow had a range of less than four hundred paces, let alone an ordinary bow and arrow with a range of only more than a hundred paces.

Then two men fight, one holding the strongest shield, the best armor, and the best blade, and occupying the most advantageous position, but the other does not fight you head-on, but shoots you with arrows from a distance. There's nothing you can do about it. You can't use all the strength of your body, and the best martial arts and equipment are useless in the most advantageous terrain. The key is that the opponent's arrow accuracy is quite good, the striking power is quite strong, and the shooting of an arrow on the body is quite painful. There is a high chance of penetrating the armor on the body and shattering the shield. This kind of fight is bound to lose in the end.

The only position that can hit the opponent is in the ruins of the collapsed Nanxun Gate Gate Gate and the position near the left. But that was the spot of the onslaught of firearms. At this moment, the city wall there was mottled and cracked, and a large amount of smoke and dust filled the ruins of the city gate tower, and the soldiers could not climb the ruins to fight, but could only rely on some archers and long-range attack weapons within range on both sides to attack. And this attack could not stop the other side from building a pontoon bridge. It's really worrying.

The opponent's attacks were round after round, with pauses in between, but the pauses were followed by more ferocious bombardments. The city wall was riddled with holes, a large number of bricks were peeled off like rain, and many cracks were cracked in the city wall. Large and small, it is like a crack in the ice after a heavy blow on the ice in winter.

"Lord Wang, it's not a way to go on like this. I don't know if you can see it, the Luoyan Army seems to want to collapse the city gate. Do they want to completely destroy the wall on the left side of the city gate? Before, I would have thought it was crazy and ridiculous, but now, I don't see it that way. You see, the other party's firearms are indeed very ferocious, and if they continue to bombard like this, I'm afraid it's really hard to say. Yuan Ping, the commander of the Guards Infantry Division, felt that he couldn't wait like this, so he approached Wang Jun to discuss countermeasures.

Wang Jun is also aware of the same problem. In fact, the other party's intentions are obvious. The other guards on the city wall were crowded, but the other party did not shoot them with that kind of firearm, but only bombarded the left and left of the already empty city gate. The opposing soldiers and horses are building a pontoon bridge, and the location leading to it is also the location of the city gate. That says it all.

"Lord Yuan, you and I see the same thing. I'm also worried that the walls at the gates will really collapse. However, we can only watch and cannot stop it, and we are completely in the point of being beaten passively. So what to do? Do you have any good ideas? Wang Jun frowned.

Yuan Ping said in a deep voice: "It seems that we have to prepare for the destruction of the city." Prepare for battle in the outer city. If the opponent breaches

Nanxun Gate, its soldiers and horses must be rushing into the city. For now, the plan is to fight them in the outer city. Now there is no way back but to fight to the end and make all preparations. ”

Wang Jun looked into Yuan Ping's eyes and said, "Lord Yuan, are you sure we can have a street fight with them?" You and I both know the current situation, speaking of which, there are 200,000 soldiers and horses defending the city, but how many of them can fight? That's all temporary. Street fighting is the most brutal and bloody battle, and regular soldiers and horses talk about it, let alone these people? ”

Yuan Ping sighed lightly and said, "I don't know, but is there any other way now?" I can only fight to the death. Now it is they who take the initiative, not us. We can only make choices passively. If the outer city can't be defended, there will be an inner city to defend, and at least we can fight them, which is better than doing nothing. ”

Wang Jun nodded slowly and said in a deep voice: "That's it, what you said is right." You and I can only do our best. Lu Xiang treats you and I am not thin, you and I were born in a slight cold background, and we were able to get Lu Xiang's weight and send them to the forbidden army for training, so that we had a bright future. Now is the time for you and me to repay Lu Xiang. ”

Yuan Ping smiled and said, "Yes, it's time to repay it." The grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring. Hey, it wasn't supposed to be like this, but why did it get to this point now? Lv Xiang...... Lu Xiang is still busy ascending the throne now, hey, what's the trouble? If it weren't for Lu Xiang's desire to be the emperor, I'm afraid the situation would not be like this. This is a road of no return. ”

Wang Jun smiled and said: "It's useless to say this, you and I have no way out, so we can only follow Lu Xiang and rush forward." Whether it's the point of no return, or the Huangquan Road, that's your life and mine. Let's ......"

Before Wang Jun could finish his words, suddenly the soldiers at the head of the city beside him let out a terrifying cry, and a huge crashing sound was heard, and the walls of the city where he stood trembled violently. But in the direction of the city gate, smoke and dust rolled up, and the bricks and stones flew sideways, scattered and overturned, like a landslide and the ground cracked, and the situation was extremely terrifying.

"The walls are falling!" Yuan Ping said dumbfounded.

Wang Jun's throat and eyes were dry, swallowing and foaming, and his heart was terrified and shocked. The city wall really collapsed, and although I thought things were going to be worse before, I still had some hope in my heart, thinking that such a thick and wide city wall would not be collapsed by the other party. But now that the facts are in front of us, the last glimmer of hope has turned into a cannon shadow.

Smoke billowed upwards, rising a huge yellow cloud of dust mushrooms. Hundreds of thousands of people in and below the city witnessed this scene, and their hearts were terrified. Even the soldiers of the Luoyan Army themselves actually had many people who thought that it was impossible to use the Shenwei General Cannon to collapse such a tall city wall, but the facts proved everything.

Twenty-nine rounds of bombardment have been carried out, and General Kamui's artillery is actually a little overwhelmed by the continuous firing. The earth on the platform was shaken loose, and General Kamui's cannon sank into the dirt half a foot deep. The muzzle angle has been adjusted several times, and the angle has also been adjusted several times. Liang Qi and thousands of other operators were exhausted. The hundreds of iron bullets fired have also smashed the arch of the city gate up and down with thousands of holes, facing it

The blue bricks and stones have been peeled off in multiple layers, and the deepest parts of the depressions have reached a depth of a few feet. Although the entire city wall is still intact on the outside after being hit by a huge impact, the masonry and stone that are several feet deep have been damaged and cracked. However, in order to collapse the wall, it is necessary to destroy its key part, which is the load-bearing partition wall in the middle of the arch.

Lin Jue himself was also in a hurry, he decided to go into battle in person, taking advantage of the gap in sorting out the position of Shenwei's guns, Lin Jue personally went to the earthen platform of Shenwei's artillery position, calculating and correcting the angles one by one, and adjusting them one by one. Liang Qi followed with a native face, and saw Lin Dashuai drawing all kinds of complicated and strange symbols on the ground with tree branches, and he was still saying all kinds of incomprehensible words such as 'ballistics', 'resistance', 'initial velocity', etc., and his head was full of confusion. Fortunately, he had seen Lin Dashuai do this, and knew that he was making accurate calculations, so that Shenwei's cannon could strike more accurately. Otherwise, I thought that Lin Dashuai was drawing talismans and pretending to be ghosts.

It took a long time, Lin Jue finally ordered Liang Qi to continue firing, Liang Qi hurriedly loaded the ammunition and ordered to fire. This time, seven of the ten shells hit the load-bearing partition wall in the middle of the arch, three on the left and four on the right. The green bricks are scattered, and it seems to have no effect. But in the next round nine hits, five on the left and four on the right. The load-bearing partition wall was finally broken through. At the moment of penetration, the vault of the gate began to collapse, and then there was a continuous collapse like dominoes. After the load-bearing wall was shattered, the badly damaged wall lost its last support, and once it began to collapse, it set off a chain reaction, which was what everyone was looking for.

In the eyes of everyone, the yellow dust in the sky slowly dissipated, and the scene in the dust was presented in front of everyone. The five-zhang wide city wall did not collapse completely, only in the first half. The first half of the wall, including the Broken Dragon Stone, collapsed, revealing seven or eight empty chambers in the inner walls. The large noose shaft and other objects in the empty chamber are suspended and exposed. Because of the collapse of the city wall, the huge suspension bridge also collapsed, and was smashed by the collapsed iron broken dragon stone. The huge iron Broken Dragon Stone was now leaning diagonally on top of the rocks, as if someone had deliberately built a flat slope on the ruins, leading obliquely to the upper side of the ruins.

"There is still time, not completely collapsed, and half there. Lord Yuan, we still have time, so we will prepare for street battles as you say. Fight to the death. Wang Jun shouted loudly.

Yuan Ping woke up from the horror and immediately shouted to mobilize his men to go down to the city, ready to fight to the death.

The roar resumed, and although the last half of the city wall was still two or three feet thick, it was as thin as paper and brittle as wood under the bombardment of solid cannonballs. After four rounds of bombardment, a shell pierced the walls and flew into the city, leaving a large hole in the city.

By the thirty-second round of the bombardment, the Nanxun Gate had collapsed into ruins, leaving a gap of nearly 40 paces full of ruins between the east and west walls. The walls of Bianliang City, the strongest in the world, were finally pierced and conquered under the bombardment of siege firearms that did not belong to this era.
