Chapter 1567: Roar

Lu Zhongtian recovered from his dizzy state, he shook his head, and found that everyone in the main hall was looking at him blankly, their eyes full of surprise and panic.

"What's wrong? Do? Why are you looking at me like this? The Falling Goose bandit army is besieging the city? Just let them attack, and with them, can they still capture my rock-solid Bianliang City? What are you afraid of? How powerful were the Jurchens, did they attack them? Lu Zhongtian shouted angrily.

The officials didn't dare to look at him anymore, and they all looked away and looked at the ground in front of them.

Lu Zhongtian sighed, turned his head and found that Chen Jue, Zhu Zhirong, Wang Jun, Yuan and Ping were all gone, and hurriedly asked, "What about Chen Jue?" Zhu Zhirong, Wang Jun, Yuan Ping, what about them? How can there be so many fewer people? ”

Liu Zhenbang rubbed his aching buttocks and stepped forward and said, "Lord Chen, Lord Zhu, Lord Zhu, and Wang Commander Yuan have sent them and the generals in the army to Nancheng to defend against the enemy." ”

Lu Zhongtian nodded, and glanced at the people in the hall: "Look, they have already gone to kill the enemy, what are you afraid of, what are you still worried about?" Look at you, all of you are like frightened birds, undetermined and useless. ”

"The ministers are ashamed, please calm the emperor's anger." Although the fear in the hearts of the officials did not diminish in the slightest, they had no choice but to confess one after another.

Lu Zhongtian snorted, and the armrest holding the throne suddenly fell silent. He remembered what Chen Jue said. The Luoyan army is attacking the city with firearms, what kind of firearms is that? Chen Jue said, the firearms gathered outside the lixu, and suddenly collapsed the corner tower of Nanxun Gate? Outside of Rich? Such a distance? The corner tower was blown down? Such a strong power? And also...... As many as ten? Is Chen Ying exaggerating? Still is...... Really?

Lu Zhongtian suddenly felt a sense of fear in his heart, today is the day he ascended the throne, and the Luoyan army will attack the city today. Could it be that he really angered the heavens, and the heavens wanted to stir up the situation and let the Luoyan army attack the city today. Those firearms, if they are really so ferocious, can Bianliang City be able to hold it? The city is broken, what is the significance of his accession to the throne today? They're about to come in.

Lu ...... Emperor...... Your Majesty, this enthronement ceremony is still ...... Continue not? Liu Zhenbang cautiously stammered beside him.

Lu Zhongtian turned his head to look at Liu Zhenbang, his gaze was bottomless, black like a black hole. Liu Zhenbang looked at such eyes, and goosebumps appeared on his body, and his black eyes were slowly filled with despair, anger and unwillingness.

"Why not continue? To continue, of course. Hahaha, is it because of those young people outside the city that my ascension to the throne is not a big event? Liu Zhenbang, go on, don't worry about the outside affairs. The more they try to stir things up, the more I will ascend to the throne. This emperor ...... No one can stop the old man from being the old man, no one can! Absolutely not! Lu Zhongtian almost gritted his teeth and roared out this sentence.

Liu Zhenbang hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the minister obeys the order, continue, continue." ”

The sound of silk and bamboo drum music sounded again, and Liu Zhenbang's high-pitched voice had a hint of trembling: "Please take the throne and accept the congratulations of hundreds of officials!" The emperor has ascended the throne! ”

Lu Zhongtian dressed up, calmed down, slowly stepped on the wooden steps, walked step by step behind the treasure case, and then sat down slowly

on that dragon chair. The dragon chair is a little hard to be honest, Lu Zhongtian is already thin, there is not much meat on his body, and his butt is very uncomfortable to sit on. But he was still smiling and contented.

The ministers knelt on the ground and shouted long live, bowing three times and bowing nine times, Lu Zhongtian looked at the crowd kneeling in front of him with a smile, forgetting some troubles for the time being, and immersed in endless satisfaction.

……

Outside the Nanxun Gate, after half an hour of preparation, all the Shenwei military cannons have been adjusted. The position where the muzzles of the ten cannons are facing is the location of the city gate of Nanxun Gate.

Lin Jue made an analysis before the war, the city wall of Bianliang City has been strengthened to the point of extreme metamorphosis, the height of the city wall plus the temporary construction of various fortifications, the height has reached nearly four zhang, and its width has reached a staggering seventy steps wide. It's not really a wall, it's like a continuous hill. In this case, in fact, the location of the city gate tower has become the weakest point in the entire defensive system.

The reason is very simple, the city wall can be widened and heightened, but the city tower part is not. There are buildings in the city tower part, there are city gates, there are jacks of stone gates, there are corner towers and enemy towers on both sides, there are several stone steps to climb the city where the passage is, once the city wall is generally reinforced, the overall pattern will all change greatly, and some of the original functions will all have to be rearranged and built, which is an extremely troublesome thing. If it is desperate to widen and heighten the city wall as much as possible, the functions of the city gate will be lost, unless it is intended to turn the area around the city gate tower into a section of the city wall, which is equivalent to completely sealing the city gate tower.

This is of course impossible, and the importance of the gate tower in the battle for the defense of the city is self-evident. It was not only a temporary storage place for a large number of supplies and equipment, but also a headquarters for the battle on the city walls, a place where orders were issued and quickly conveyed to the defenders using the height of the towers. And as far as the defense of the castle tower itself is concerned, it is many times more complete than the city wall. A large number of soldiers and horses gathered near the city tower to prevent the other party from breaking through the city gate, so the city gate is the most vulnerable to attack, but it is also the most difficult place to attack.

If it was an ordinary siege method, it would be unwise to naturally attack the city gate, but the goal that Lin Jue wanted to achieve was not to ascend the city, but to destroy the city wall. Therefore, the city gate is the ideal place for Kamui to attack the cannon. There are various facilities at the city gate, so it is not monolithic. Not to mention the three gates of Nanxun Gate Castle are weak points, even the other parts of the city wall that appear to be solid actually have empty rooms inside, and there are shafts for the suspension bridge of the city gate, axles for broken dragon stones, and holes for piles dug for the three-story castle tower above.

In short, the walls were completely solid barriers made of rammed earth and rock, and although the left side of the gate was like a hill, there were many hollows inside, and there were openings underneath, so structurally speaking, it was not as solid as the city wall. Lin Jue's goal was to collapse the city gate of Nanxun City, and all the Shenwei general artillery would focus on this point and carry out a fierce bombardment to achieve the goal.

Lin felt that after Liang Qi had given all the prepared gestures, he urged the five-flowered horse to step with a serious expression

took a few steps forward, then reached out and pulled out the greedy wolf knife from his waist and held it high in his hand.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the long knife raised by Lin Jue, the tassels on the handle fluttering in the wind, and the light of the blade dazzling in the sun.

"Attack!" Lin Jue let out a roar full of anger, and the long knife swung down, leaving a golden afterimage in the air.

"Fire!" Liang Qi let out a heart-rending roar, and brought the torch in his hand close to the lead that protruded from the small hole in the chamber behind General Shenwei's cannon, and ignited it

The lead snorted and burned, emitting blue smoke. Everyone turned around, turned their backs to Kamui's cannon, plugged their ears with earplugs, covered their ears with their hands, and opened their mouths wide. This was the way that Lin Jue told them to reduce the damage of the loud noise. They waited with their ears covered and their heads stuffed.

Time seems to have frozen, and the short counting time seems to be as long as a lifetime. The armies around were silent, and even the spring breeze seemed to be still, waiting for the moment of the outbreak.

"Boom! Bang! Bang! The sound of the sky cracking sounded on the earth, and the ground shook violently, and then the yellow and black clouds of smoke and dust rose from the earthen platform of the entire Shenwei General Cannon's firing position. The yellow is the dust from the violent shaking of the soil, and the black is the black smoke from the explosion of gunpowder.

Even if you are fully mentally prepared, even if you have tampons in your ears and cover your ears with your hands. But in the roar of these ten cannons, there are still many people who have temporarily lost their hearing, and some people have blood in their ears. A loud noise cracked their ear drums, causing them great damage.

Hundreds of paces ahead, there was a commotion in the formation of tens of thousands of cavalry of the Fallen Goose Army, although they were hundreds of steps away, the roar of the explosion still caused the convulsions of the war horses, and some of the formations became chaotic, and the generals and soldiers struggled to restrain and comfort the war horses, so that they could restore calm.

In short, for everyone present, the roar of this Shenwei General Cannon was the most shocking sound they had ever heard in their lives. It was louder and more shocking than the roar of a summer thunderstorm, a loud sound that shook the soul.

Lin Jue reined in the panicked and beating five-flowered horse, endured the buzzing tinnitus, and his eyes were firmly locked in the direction of the Nanxun Gate Tower outside Li Xu. His main concern was not the power of the Shenwei cannons, but whether they could hit the target and what the effect should be.

In everyone's eyes, more than ten huge smoke and dust erupted from the city tower of Bianliang Nanxun Gate in the distance. The mud and dust are like giant flowers blooming all over the castle tower, terrifying but spectacular. Ten solid iron ball cannonballs all hit the top and bottom of the city tower, because of the error, some of them concentrated the city tower buildings above, some hit the city wall near the left side of the city gate hole, some concentrated the fortifications near the left side of the battlements, and one coincidentally hit the closed city gate, and the tightly closed heavy city gate hit the sawdust one after another, revealing the hole of a huge black hole.

These are still the results of watching from a distance, and it doesn't seem to cause much damage, but in the clairvoyant mirror in Lin Jue's hand, he sees more details. It was a shocking and amazing scene.
