Chapter 361: Gunpowder Siege
When the sky is light, it is also the time when the sergeants and soldiers of the army are the most sleepy, and the soldiers who have held on all night also need to rest for a while, and besides, the current situation in the city is stable, and they do not need to worry too much.
After having such a thought, many soldiers took a nap with peace of mind.
At this moment, three soldiers came to the east gate.
Two of the soldiers, on the way forward, were relatively slow, apparently carrying heavy things.
After a period of busyness, there was no alarm to the defenders near the city gate, perhaps in the eyes of these defenders, they only need to guard against attacks from the city, as for the defenders outside the city even if they are close to the city gate, it is not possible to break through in a short time, as an important place in a city, any defender attaches importance to the city gate, and they naturally do not want the city gate to be broken by the enemy soon
Reinforcing the city walls and gates was also the most common thing that some guards did, and Liang Gang belonged to this category.
A soldier, after hearing the movement of the city gate, had some doubts in his heart, and reminded the team leader around him, but instead of attracting the attention of the team leader, he was scolded.
The Yanzhou army did not start attacking the city at all, even if there were enemy soldiers approaching, maybe these people were here to inquire about the situation, even if they went to the vicinity of the city gate, could they still open the city gate and kill the enemy soldiers.
Rather than this, it is better to wait directly, and after a night of vigil, the officers and men in the army are all tired.
The movement of the three soldiers was very smooth.
At this moment, the Yanzhou army slowly came towards the east city gate.
The army is overwhelming, and the momentum is pressing, no matter whether the Yanzhou army has the means to break through the city now, just the approach of the army can make the defenders panic.
Many of the defenders hurriedly picked up their swords and returned to their positions, ready for battle.
The appearance of the Yanzhou army outside the city was a big deal for the defenders, and the commander Zhao Fu hurried to the east gate.
Unlike Chen Dong, the commander of Jiyin, Zhao Fu was loyal to Yuan Shu, otherwise he would not have been appointed by Liang Gang as a general to guard the city gate.
At this time, the power of the lieutenant in the city was not the greatest, but the generals sent by Yuan Shu, which also showed that Yuan Shu had a transcendent position under his rule, and no one dared to challenge Yuan Shu's position under his rule, and if he wanted to confront Yuan Shu, he would have to bear the corresponding price.
Zhao Fu looked at the army outside the city that was constantly rushing, and there were doubts in his heart, according to this kind of time, the most important thing for the enemy army to do was to build equipment, otherwise, how to attack Chen Liu.
The appearance of this Yanzhou army itself is a little incredible, there are currently more than 6,000 defenders in the city, and the strength of these defenders alone is enough to make the Yanzhou army attacking the city pay a heavy price.
Cautiously, Zhao Fu still ordered someone to pass the news back to the army.
The soldiers near the city gate have already been prepared, they are waiting for Lu Bu's order, to be honest, staying near the city gate like this is also a psychological test for a soldier, there are enemies in the city.
But near the city gate, it is indeed relatively safe, with the arrival of the Yanzhou army, the defenders in the city do not dare to open the city gate at all, and it is difficult for the defenders in the city to attack them.
The smoke rose, and the quiet gates suddenly became noisy, and they did not understand what was happening.
After igniting the gunpowder, the three soldiers immediately began to run quickly towards the main formation.
Zhao Fu heard the shouts near the city gate and the three soldiers who quickly fled back to the Yanzhou army, and immediately had a bad feeling.
"Follow Ben to the city gates." Zhao Fudao.
Nowadays, the city gate is more critical than the city wall, the Yanzhou army has no siege equipment, even if it is the elite of the army, it is impossible to climb the city wall, the only possible direction to break through is the city gate, after strengthening the defense of the city gate, even if Lu Bu has the ability to reach the sky, there is no better way to solve this situation.
At the moment when Zhao Fu led more than 100 soldiers to walk down the city wall, an earth-shattering sound came, the ground was trembling violently, and even the city wall shook slightly, as if in such a loud noise, there was a danger of collapse, and stones fell from the city wall one by one. ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese網ωωω.. còм
The soldiers near the city gate bore the brunt of the attack, and many of them saw the smoke rising and wanted to go up to see what was going on, but there were no bones.
Not only the defenders in the city, but also the soldiers of the Yanzhou army were also dumbfounded, they only saw a burst of fire scattering, and then there was a rumbling sound, this kind of sound, compared to the galloping of thousands of horses, people felt more shocked, thick smoke, shrouded the city gate, so that people could not see the situation near the city gate at all.
"Cavalry, follow Ben Hou forward." Lu Bu shouted.
The cavalry in the army reacted at this time, and the ears of many cavalry were buzzing, if it was not for the ordinary training, they had an urge to turn around and leave, and even the war horses under the cavalry were trembling gently, which showed that this sound had a great impact on the soldiers of the Yanzhou army.
Zhang Liao saw that Lu Bu led the cavalry out, and immediately ordered the generals and soldiers to prepare, this is a sharp weapon used by Lu Bu to attack Chen Liu, this attack must be successful, as long as the defenders lose the protection of the city gate, Zhang Liao has absolute confidence that he can lead the soldiers to break through Chen Liu.
Guo Jia thought he was knowledgeable, but after seeing such a momentum, he was also shocked, and it was difficult for him to imagine what kind of craftsman could develop such a means of attacking the city.
If Lu Bu had more such sharp weapons in his hands, no city would be able to stop Lu Bu's footsteps, and even in the eyes of the princes, it would be difficult to break through the Hangu Pass and other Xiongguan.
The monarch has more means to enable his officers and men to win battles, which is also something that the strategists are happy to see.
When Lu Bu led the cavalry to approach the city gate, the smoke still did not dissipate, but in the shadows, Lu Bu saw the panicked figure of the defenders in the city, and most of the city gate disappeared.
"Kill!" Lu Bu shouted abruptly.
The cavalry in the army is excited, they have woken up from the momentum of the party, this attack was launched by them, if they can't even withstand the momentum of their own attack, isn't it a joke, the key is that this battle, but Lu Bu personally led the army to charge, which is a great honor for the cavalry of Yanzhou.
Whether it is in the Xuzhou Army or the Yanzhou Army, Lu Bu has a transcendent status, and the reverence of the officers and soldiers in the army for Lu Bu is beyond doubt.
Being able to follow Lu Bu behind him to fight on the battlefield is of great significance to the officers and men in the army, just thinking about it makes them feel their blood boiling.
