Chapter 1051: Artillery Battalion Brothers Meritorious Service

Cao Cao felt weak.

A few days ago, he also saw with his own eyes the power of the explosion of the clay pot.

At that time, in the hands of Zhao Jun outside the city, it was only ten catapults.

He really couldn't think of any way to stop it.

The soldiers below are now gagged with cotton to their ears, which has caused the fear in their hearts to drop.

However, if more than 100 catapults of the Zhao army worked together, even if the soldiers blocked their ears with cotton, even if the soldiers had no fear in their hearts, even if they obeyed the orders to hold on, but under the power of the gunpowder explosion, no one could hold it.

Under the explosion of gunpowder, there were no people standing on the city walls at all.

The Zhao army did not need to attack, only to bombard with clay pots.

More than 100 clay pots were bombarded together, covering almost the entire length of the wall.

Although he felt irresistible, Cao Cao still had hope in his heart.

At the very least, he's going to watch the clay pot fall.

Outside the city, Zhang Wang, who was the commander of the artillery battalion, had already given an order for the gunners of the artillery battalion to start preparing.

More than a hundred catapults, which were not fired together, but in two batches. In this way, the fire is uninterrupted.

After the first round of clay pots exploded on the city wall, the second round of clay pots has also followed.

In comparison, the bombing a few days ago was like a drizzle.

On the city wall, the Cao-Liu coalition army fell piece by piece.

Even if they blocked their ears, looking at the scene of the explosion in front of them at this moment, the fear in their hearts still rose and could no longer be suppressed.

Blocking your ears is just covering your ears and stealing the bell after all, and deceiving yourself.

It was only two rounds of bombardment, and a large area of the Cao-Liu coalition army densely packed on the city wall was emptied.

With a little luck left, he looked around blankly, looking at the catapult outside.

Then I saw black dots flying in the sky again, and finally couldn't help but turn around and run away.

"Withdraw." Cao Cao said weakly.

"Cao Gong, although the city wall cannot be defended, we can still engage in street battles with the Zhao army." Cheng Yu said.

"I don't believe it, after Zhao Jun rushed in, they would still use clay pots."

"Well, that's all there is to it."

The walls had already been emptied of gunpowder, and it made no difference whether Cao Cao ordered a retreat or not.

Although there was no longer a single Cao-Liu coalition army in sight on the city wall, Zhang Wang continued to bomb for two rounds before stopping temporarily.

Then, Zhao Yundianwei began to lead his men and horses to rush towards the city wall.

On the city walls, there were no defenders, and it was easy to rush into the city.

But after Zhao Yundian Wei rushed into the city, he saw the Cao Liu coalition army waiting for him.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Xu Chu are all here.

"Kill!"

Now that he has already killed in, Zhao Yundianwei did not retreat.

Although the bombardment of clay pots did not completely defeat the Sun-Liu coalition army.

But for Xinye, they are bound to break through today.

There is a lot of grain and grass in Xinye City, and if they can't break through, they will be blocked for a long time.

This time, Zhao Hui went south, and the target was Jingyang and Yangzhou.

It is impossible to spend half a year besieging Shinno.

If this is the case, the 300,000 troops of this Chinese New Year's Eve will go south, and they may not even be able to see Xiangyang, and they will have to return to Jizhou by the same route.

"Kill!"

There was no back-down.

Now Zhao Yundianwei can't be allowed to retreat.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Xu Chu are all fierce generals with 10,000 enemies.

The soldiers in their hands are not the Xiliang army in the hands of Ma Teng Han Sui.

The clay pot bombing just now only caused the soldiers on the city wall to collapse, but most of the soldiers on the city wall have been killed, and there are few left.

And these people in the city who were waiting for them, although they heard the sound of bombardment on the city wall, but at this moment, following Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Xu Chu, they had no fear in their hearts.

Zhang Fei has been waiting for this moment for a long time.

He'd seen gunpowder explode and knew it wasn't something that could be resisted by man.

But there was no fear in his heart.

Now that it is a street battle, he wants to see how strong Zhao Jun is after the clay pot is gone.

The Cao Liu coalition army, especially the commanders of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Xu Chu, are all the elite of the elite.

But Zhao Jun is the same.

Zhao Yundian Wei Chong was in front.

Although there is no heavy cavalry, the combat power of the Zhao army is still stronger than that of the Cao-Liu coalition army after all.

The Cao-Liu coalition army is now regarded as the Jingzhou army, and the tiger and leopard cavalry and white-eared elite soldiers in the hands of Cao Cao and Liu Bei have almost lost themselves in Yanzhou.

For more than a year, although both of them have been training elite soldiers, it is still too difficult to have the combat power of the white-eared elite tiger and leopard cavalry.

"Report to the general, the two generals, who have encountered strong resistance from the enemy in the city."

The brothers with the artillery battalion remained outside the city and did not rush in.

Although he had trained countless times in Yecheng, this was also the first time that Zhang Wang commanded the brothers of the artillery battalion in a real battle.

"It seems that our artillery battalion is still in action."

Zhao Yundianwei was stopped and was fighting with the enemy in the city, but Zhang Wang was not very worried.

Their artillery battalion has been well trained for a year.

But it's not just the catapults, they can fight without them.

"Brothers, bring your things, and follow me." Zhang Wangdao.

With his brothers from the artillery battalion, he rushed into the open gates.

Then I saw both sides in the bloody battle.

"Follow me." Zhang Wang ordered again.

He didn't go towards Zhao Yundianwei.

In the street fighting, the two sides were close to each other, and if they used gunpowder directly, they would inevitably hurt their own soldiers.

Therefore, he bypassed Zhao Yundianwei, who was fighting in front, and took his brothers from the artillery battalion to approach the Cao army behind from the side.

One by one, they walked through the courtyards of the people, and some climbed onto the roofs.

The brethren of these artillery battalions did not only use catapults.

Zhang Wang also climbed onto the roof.

Cao Liu Lianjun, now the attention is attracted by Zhao Yundianwei, and the teams of people are moving in the direction of Zhao Yundianwei.

But no one noticed that they had climbed up to the roof to look at the brothers of the artillery battalion.

Looking at Cao Jun advancing on the street, Zhang Wang, who was hiding on the roof, lit the fuse, watched the fuse burn, and waited for two breaths before smashing the clay pot towards Cao Jun below.

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang.

Cao Jun on the street suddenly turned on his back.

Then the others who followed and watched also smashed the clay pot downward.

This group of 3,000 Cao troops was wiped out almost instantly.

"Let's go, next."

Ignoring the bombed Cao Jun, after throwing out the clay pot, Zhang Wang took the brothers of the artillery battalion to move the place.

Then, from time to time, explosions could be heard in the streets of the city.

"What's going on?"

When the first explosion sounded in the city, Cao Cao asked.

At this moment, someone has already come back to report: "My lord, it was the enemy army who used fire pots in the city, and more than 10,000 people have been killed." ”

It's just tea time.

Zhao Yundianwei came in, and so far he has only killed two or three thousand Cao Jun.

However, Zhang Wang's brothers with the artillery battalion just threw a few clay pots, and now more than 10,000 Cao soldiers have been killed.

Several streets, the bluestone paved on the ground have been blown away.
