The movement of Zhang Yang's test cannon was not small, and the rebels on the head of Yangzhou City more or less heard the sound. Although they didn't see it very clearly, the loud explosion and the eye-catching gunsmoke were still clearly conveying a message to them - the imperial court also had a weapon similar to the 'Divine Thunder'!

When the dynasty heard the news, Pang Wanchun and the Earth Protector couldn't sit still. Because once they lose the advantage of the divine thunder, then they will return to the old way of numerical confrontation.

The army of the imperial court is coming in a steady stream, and the number of people fighting is definitely incomparable.

And the walls that were originally used for defense can even become an obstacle in the face of such weapons! They are familiar with the performance of the divine thunder very well, the city wall is no different from the paper paste in front of the divine thunder, once the imperial army also starts to use this weapon, they don't even need to face each other directly, as long as they are compressed to a certain density, they can be easily blown up!

This move Pang Wanchun and they have already played very slippery, and it is with this huge weapon advantage that they can cross the south of the Yangtze River without an opponent.

"Lord, what shall we do now?" The Earth Protector asked a little impatiently.

"The soldiers are coming, and the water is coming! Now that everyone has this kind of weapon, it's a big deal to break the net! Pang Wanchun said viciously.

Wang Chao glanced at the two of them and said slowly: "Judging from the current situation, Yangzhou has become a chicken rib!" Ordered to go down, when the officers and soldiers attacked the city, the army immediately crossed the river and retained the living force to defend the Yangtze River! ”

"Yes, Lord."

That night, Tong Guan worked with Han Shizhong and Zhang Yang to plan the siege of the city.

"Brother Zhang, what's the plan?" Because the artillery was brought by Zhang Yang, Han Shizhong naturally asked Zhang Yang's opinion.

As a modern man, he is deeply influenced by the US imperialists' 'supremacy of firepower', believing that with huge firepower that is so dense that the enemy can't imagine that it can kill and damage the enemy's vital forces to the greatest extent. After a long time, the enemy will naturally be defeated!

Han Shizhong was dumbfounded by this simple and crude method! He could never have imagined that a scholar who had always prided himself on being superior in wisdom would actually say such a crude battle plan!

Zhang Yang was not embarrassed, sat down with a big grin, and said: "In the art of war, we are always taught to defeat the strong with the weak, but we don't know that the simplest art of war in the world is bullying!" The more careful the plan, the easier it is to make mistakes, as long as we ensure that our grand strategy does not make mistakes, then leave the rest to the people below to play freely. ”

"Haha... Brother Zhang's temperament is too much for my old Han's appetite! You're right, the easiest thing in the world is bullying! It's a pity that those sour Confucians who read a few military books and feel that they know about military affairs don't understand this truth. The battlefield is ever-changing, how can it be all-encompassing. The more meticulous and the more wrong it is, it can be said in one sentence! ”

Tong Guan saw that the two of them had made a plan, so he finally made a decision and said: "Then the time is set for tomorrow afternoon, rest early today and recuperate your spirits." ”

"Yes."

The next day, still in the northwest of Yangzhou City, the artillery under the command of Zhang Yang carried out its operations in an orderly manner. The rows of black holes and holes of the cannons were like beasts that chose to devour people, and the muzzles of the cannons were held high and aimed at the city wall in the distance.

Behind the nine-pound cannon is the 'treasure of the city' brought by Zhang Yang this time - a thirty-six-pound heavy siege artillery! Compared to the 'petite' nine-pound cannon, the thirty-six-pound cannon is completely an ancient beast, and the thick barrel looks like an optimus pillar!

Behind is the 70,000 army led by Han Shizhong!

Pang Wanchun and Tu Protector, who were standing on the city wall, had solemn faces, although they didn't know what these big iron pipes were for, but seeing the officers and soldiers full of confidence, they also understood that this thing was definitely not easy to mess with!

"Lord, the enemy is out of range of our trebuchets!"

"Got it, how did I do with what I told you?"

"The army has all moved to the southeast, and it can be evacuated at any time."

"Hmm!"

On the command platform, the red command flag was raised, and the gunners immediately opened the gun door, and the loaders around them quickly stuffed the shells and propellants into the guns.

"Whew-"

The red command flag suddenly waved downward, and the battlefield suddenly resounded with an overwhelming roar of artillery!

Boom - boom - boom -

The dynasty on the city wall roared: "Lie down! ”

A nine-pound shell flew a distance of four hundred paces in one second! A part of the shells hit the women's wall hard, and the women's wall cut into blue bricks was shattered in an instant...

"Ahh

A few rebels who didn't have time to lie down were instantly blurred by the rubble, screaming and falling to the ground and wailing! And that's just a part of the entire wall.

What's more, he was directly hit by a cannonball, and a head-sized 'skylight' was opened in his chest! Suddenly, the colorful intestines and internal organs flowed all over the ground...

"Adjust the shooting element!"

The flamboyant order was conveyed by Mahan to many shooters, and after some adjustments, the second round of salvos began!

Boom –

Han Shizhong, who was in the rear, watched the artillery roaring, the battlefield filled with gunsmoke, and the long-lost blood surging! In the face of this kind of weapon, there will be no more fortified cities that cannot be attacked!

Thinking of this, his confidence in Song Jin's resistance to Liao and the recovery of Yanyun also strengthened a little.

After a few rounds of artillery firing, Zhang Yang got the news of the dynasty that there were few living people on the city wall, and their large troops all moved to the southeast, and they would leave the city and cross the river in ten minutes!

Zhang Yang no longer hesitated, and immediately commanded the thirty-six-pound heavy gun to fire! These five large-caliber cannons fired a salvo, and the earth-shattering loud sound even suppressed the roar of a group of nine-pound cannons!

Boom –

The shells of the 36-pound cannon contained 5 catties of nitrocellulose, and after flying a distance of 600 paces, it easily drilled into the city wall like a hot knife cutting butter.

Bang –

In five loud bangs, the walls were blasted by a violent explosion that left five huge ugly scars.

"Good!"

Looking at this scene like a heavenly punishment, Han Shizhong, who was already in his thirties, was still enthusiastic, and his face, which was blackened by the wind and sand in the northwest, also turned red at this time.

Han Shizhong clenched the reins of the horse tightly, and couldn't help but sigh: "The god of war deserves his name!" ”

The artillery under the command of Zhang Yang was tense, orderly and orderly. The city wall finally became unbearable and collapsed after five roars from the thirty-six-pound cannon!

Zhang Yang's eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Zhang Jiajun, attack!" ”

Five hundred cavalry and four thousand infantry, who had long been unable to hold back, screamed and rushed to the gap in the city wall!

Seeing this, Han Shizhong in the rear couldn't care about being reserved or not, and the work of breaking the city was right in front of him! Qiang pulled out his sword with a loud roar and said, "The whole army is attacking!" ”

The 70,000 troops behind him suddenly rushed forward like a tidal wave!
