Chapter 377: Luzhou Break

Looking at the Yin Di Pass in front of him, the Zuo Yu Lin Army outside the city was very relaxed, as if this dangerous pass was nothing.

Indeed, if there was no Tiance Cannon, this danger might still be dangerous, but with Tiance Cannon.

Danger? Inexistent.

Compared to artillery, the Tiance Cannon is more powerful, up to the situation of white catties, unless you are a wall made of marble or granite.

But before that, the Shatuo cavalry crisscrossed the entire Hedong region, and no one was invincible, not to mention that they completely ignored such a 'dangerous pass', but they did not deliberately strengthen it.

Of course, due to the relatively dangerous geographical location, the wall is indeed much better than the walls of Jinzhou and Zhaocheng, but for Tiance Artillery, it is only a matter of time.

So when Zhao Xiong arrived at Yindi Pass with his army, he asked the soldiers to help the artillery make shells.

Although this pass is not suitable for the deployment of the army, sixteen Tiance cannons are still deployed.

Seeing the trebuchet, the defenders in the pass were afraid.

It's not that they didn't think about going out of the city to destroy these siege weapons, but in front of the Tiance cannon, they had the protection of the infantry of the Zuo Yulin Army.

The general bow and arrow do not have much deterrent power for the Tiance cannon, even if a better bow and crossbow can shoot the Tiance cannon, but it cannot have much impact on the use of the Tiance cannon.

And don't be a vegetarian crossbowman of the Zuo Yulin Army.

Behind the Tiance artillery firing position, Zhao Xiong looked at the Hedong army that still did not plan to surrender.

"The record of the Right Shence Army is so eye-catching, it is also a forbidden army, our Left Yulin Army must be worse than the Right Shence Army?

The artillery must perform well and break through this yin pass as soon as possible. ”

The generals of the artillery capital were sweating profusely, and hurriedly replied, "Don't worry, general. ”

Fu Cunxian was a little worried, "General, wouldn't the Heavenly Ce Cannon destroy this Yin Land?" ”

He has seen the power of the Tiance cannon, and if the cannon goes down, the wall of this Yin Di Pass can be blocked?

I'm afraid that in less than a day, I won't be able to see a complete wall in this Yin Di Pass!

"If it's destroyed, it's ruined, with big killers like Tiance cannons and artillery, do you think it's still useful to close the city like this?"

The saying of 'big killer' comes from Li Ye, although the people below don't understand it, but what the saint said, even if he doesn't understand it, just listen to it.

Fu Cunxian was stunned for a moment, and soon understood what this meant.

"It's the last general who is stupid!"

Zhao Xiong didn't blame, don't look at Fu Cunxian's joining Zuo Yulin Army not long ago, but he was very optimistic about this.

Maybe these martial arts are not the top-notch kind, but they are resourceful, and all they lack is experience.

If someone else is replaced, Fu Cunzhen may be suppressed, after all, the other party may steal the coach's light.

However, in Zhao Xiong's view, this is completely unnecessary.

If Fu Cunxian performs outstandingly, as his superior, he also has a credit, so why bother to suppress and add a young man with an unlimited future?

And in the conversation between the two, the cannon was also ready.

"Ready, put!"

"Ready, put!"

。。。。。。

"Ready, put!"

Just when the Left Yulin Army attacked Yindi Pass, under the city of Luzhou, the Right Shenwu Army also launched an attack on Luzhou.

Gu Yanlang didn't come to Zhaoyi to see the excitement, he needed to accumulate military merits.

Therefore, after the Tiance cannon was in place, he suggested to Sun Kuo and Li Cunxiao to attack the city.

Originally, Li Cunxiao disagreed, because there were no suitable siege weapons, and Luzhou was not like Shexian, after all, this was the station of the previous Zhaoyi Jiedu envoy, and the city wall was tall and strong.

Similarly, Feng Ba also had this idea.

Because of this siege, in his opinion, his own people will definitely suffer great casualties.

Although he decided to follow the imperial court, it does not mean that he is willing to lose the army in his hand in vain, these troops are his capital.

If you can mix the history of a state assassin, it is much better than being an ordinary low-level general before.

To be precise, Feng Ba's thoughts were not much different from those feudal towns, except that he chose to stand on the side of the imperial court.

At the insistence of Sun Kui and Gu Yanlang, this siege took place.

However, when he saw the tall Tiance cannon, both Li Cunxiao and Feng Ba were stunned, especially Feng Ba, where had he ever seen such a well-made trebuchet.

Li Cunxiao is better, after all, he has experienced a hundred battles and has seen trebuchets, but this one in front of him is a bit strange.

But he soon discovered that the strange trebuchet had a long range.

Because these trebuchets are placed two hundred paces away, except for crossbows with a longer range, ordinary bows and arrows are not a threat at all.

"Ready, launch!"

With a roar, the stone projectile weighing dozens of catties was driven by the long arm and headed towards the city wall of Luzhou City.

And in the city, after Kang Junli heard that the imperial army was attacking the city, his first reaction was ---The imperial army is crazy, right?"

This is a siege?

In line with the principle of prudence, Kang Junli prepared to come to the city tower to watch the situation.

But before he could reach the wall, he heard a whistling sound in the air. He subconsciously looked up and saw that something black was flying in the sky.

He didn't think much of it at first, but when the voice became more harsh, he saw what the black thing was, and his face changed dramatically.

"Boom!"

Under Kang Junli's gaze, the black thing smashed directly into a private house about twenty zhang away from him.

Of course, there were no ordinary people in this house at this time, but I saw that the black thing directly smashed a big hole in the roof of the house, and then the earth shook.

The violent vibration caused the war horse to suddenly vacate its front hooves, almost causing Kang Junli to fall off his horse.

But that's not all, there is not only one black thing, and after the first one falls, the others also fall one after another.

Every time I landed, there was a violent sound.

The black thing was the boulder, and seeing everything in front of him, Kang Junli was stunned.

One by one, boulders, like meteors, destroyed the city defenses he had been preparing for a long time. A boulder struck the tower, and a corner of the mighty tower was cut off; The walls that seemed to him to be strong were also trembling violently, as if they were on the verge of collapse.

Although there are not many boulders that actually fall on the city wall, as long as they hit, a large piece of the solid city wall in his eyes will be dented.

"Jie Shuai, what now?"

The brave and combative soldiers around them were also panicked at this time, their faces were pale, looking at the raging boulder, there was no trace of blood on the faces of the people, and an inexplicable sense of fear involuntarily surged above their heads.

The morale of the Shatuo soldiers, who began to rise, soon plummeted, especially the soldiers near the city wall, who had no fighting spirit at all.

Kang Jun made up his mind and forced himself to calm down, but the trembling hands betrayed him.

Seeing that the city wall in front of him was crumbling, he knew that after the city was broken, the imperial army outside the city would attack, thinking of this, his heart was ruthless, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Leave 3,000 people to block the enemy army, and the rest of me will retreat to Xiangyuan." ”

Without the city walls as a barrier, and the morale of his soldiers plummeted, even if he stayed in the city and held out, he could not escape the result of defeat.

Rather than this, it is better to leave 3,000 men to hold back the enemy army, and lead the army to retreat to the north, which is really not good, and retreat to the east of the river, he does not believe that the enemy will still chase after him.

In his opinion, Luzhou City can't be defended.

But he didn't want to think about it, Luzhou City couldn't hold it, but other cities could hold it?

"Marshal, the last general is willing to stay and command the army to cover the retreat of the army!"

Li Cunju suddenly stood up and asked for his life.

Looking at the young Li Cunju, Kang Junli's face changed slightly, "Do you know what this means?" ”

What does that mean?

It means that these 3,000 people are cannon fodder to die, the purpose is to cover the withdrawal of the army from Luzhou, and it is bound to be frantically attacked by the enemy outside the city.

"Jieshuai, now that Hedong is facing an unprecedented crisis, the last general should stand up!"

Li Cunju said in a firm tone, of course he knew what it meant to stay, but if he didn't stay, the other generals would not be able to try their best to stop the enemy even if they stayed.

And if the enemy cannot be held back, the retreat of the army is meaningless.

Kang Junli looked at Li Cunju with a complicated expression, patted the other party on the shoulder, and said in a heavy tone, "Take care!" ”

After speaking, Kang Junli shouted loudly to the surroundings.

"Withdraw! Evacuate Luzhou! ”
