South of Bianliang City, outside the South Smoke Gate. The 120,000 troops of the Luoyan Army, the horse and infantry were densely packed with black pressure arrays. Located in the middle of the formation, in the open space set aside by the soldiers and horses, ten earthen platforms with a radius of five zhang square were built at some point. Above the earthen platform, ten Shenwei military cannons were erected proudly on it, and the huge cannon barrels of the black hole were facing the city gate and city wall of Bianliang South City, which was two miles away.

At this moment, the muzzle of the Kamui cannon on one of the central turrets was emitting a thick blue-black smoke. The crowd around the Kamui cannon was removing their hands covering their ears. The roar of the deafening launch was still echoing in the ears, and in the distance, on the tall tower of the Nanxun Gate, a cloud of smoke and dust erupted under the gaze of all the soldiers of the Luoyan Army. Then, a corner of the tower began to collapse, and the soldiers and horses defending the city above fled in panic.

"Hit, hit! It's amazing, it's amazing. A single shot knocked down half of the corner of the tower. It's incredible. ”

Liang Qi shouted excitedly, jumped up happily, and he galloped down the earthen platform and went straight to Lin Jue, who was riding a horse dozens of steps away.

"Report to the marshal, a shot hit the corner tower on the east side of the city gate of Nanxun Gate, and directly collapsed his mother. Hahahaha. Liang Qi shouted loudly.

Lin Jue had undisguised joy on his face, and he had also seen the launch of Shicai, the roar was earth-shattering, and the whole earth seemed to tremble when it was launched. If it weren't for the earplugs prepared for the horses in advance, this time it would be possible for the people and the horses to turn their ears away. Even with preparation, the loud noise still made everyone's ear drums buzz at this moment.

This time it was actually a test firing before the official attack, and Lin Jueshi personally went to the earthen platform to adjust the angle of the muzzle and estimate the distance and ruler. If it weren't for the fact that the firing cannon at close range was too dangerous, Lin Jue would have personally ignited the first cannon of great significance in the siege. Because once the people around the bomb are shattered, these Shenwei cannons are directly pulled to the battlefield without any testing after being cast, so the stability is unknown. Because of this, Liang Qi and others resolutely disagreed with Dashuai to take the risk of lighting a cannon. The honor of this first shot fell on Liang Qi's head. Sure enough, this cannon was fired, shaking the heavens and the earth, and the power was really amazing. Lin Jue used a clairvoyant mirror to observe the city tower of Nanxun Tower, so what he saw was more shocking than seeing it from a distance. The solid cannonball directly penetrated the wall of the front of the corner tower on the east side of the tower and penetrated it. At the same time as the wall of the corner tower collapsed, the pillars inside also broke in an instant, causing a large-scale collapse. In other words, the cannonball broke through the wall and then successively broke the wooden pillars supporting the pillars of the corner tower. This power had already achieved the kind of purpose that Lin Jue hoped to achieve.

Lin Jue laughed and said, "Okay." General Shenwei is full of divine might, and today he will break through Bianliang City with the power of thunder, so that the world can see the power of General Shenwei. Liang Qi listens to orders! ”

"The last general!" Liang Qi said in a deep voice.

"Order all Shenwei general cannons to prepare for debugging immediately, target the direction of the city gate and tower, and wait for my order to fire together!" Lin Jue shouted.

"The last general obeys!" Liang Qida saluted, turned around and galloped away.

"Shen Tan, Ma Qingshan, and Sun Wanchun listen to orders!" Lin Jue shouted.

Shen Tan, Ma Qingshan, and Sun Wanchun rode out and came to Lin Jue to salute.

"Each of you leads your cavalry to the front, and you are ready to charge. Once the city gates and walls collapsed, ride

The soldiers immediately rushed into the city, and did not give the opponent a chance to intercept the gap. Remember, open the gap at all costs, quickly occupy the Nancheng Market, and completely open the passage. Do the three generals understand? Lin Jue shouted.

"Inferior obedience!" Shen Tan, Ma Qingshan, and Sun Wanchun shouted in unison. If not long ago someone had given the order to these three men to attack the city with cavalry, they would have scolded them for their stupidity. But at this moment, Lin Jue gave the order for them to lead the cavalry to rush forward and prepare to charge, but the three of them had no objection. Because they had all witnessed the power of the Kamui cannon, they were all deeply shocked. Marshal Lin proposed to use Shenwei cannons to break down the city gate and open the gap, and the tactics of cavalry charging into the city were obviously relied upon, and they all believed that this could be done.

Shen Tan, Ma Qingshan, Sun Wanchun and others turned their horses' heads and galloped away with whips.

"Ma Bin, Lu Yi, Mu Buping, and Ruan Ping listen to orders." Lin Jue said again in a deep voice.

"Mo will be!" Ma Bin and the others shouted in unison, bowing down and clasping their fists.

"Ma Bin, Lu Yimu, and Buping each led their own infantry, and after the cavalry rushed into the city, they immediately followed up, supported the cavalry, soldiers and horses, occupied the Nancheng market, and then listened to the order after gaining a firm foothold."

"The last general obeys!" Ma Bin and the other three shouted.

"Ruan Ping, you lead 3,000 sappers to rush forward with a shield. When the gates are about to be breached, you must quickly build the pontoon passage into the city. The cavalry charge must not be delayed. Ben Shuai doesn't give you much time, can you do it? Lin Jue shouted.

After Ruan Ping took refuge in Luoyan Valley from Beishan Dazhai that year, he was reused by Lin Jue. This man is steady and has some brains. At the beginning, he was appointed by Lin Jue as the commander-in-chief in charge of building and attacking the city. He participated in the construction of the dam in Luoyan Valley, as well as the development of Luoyan Valley and the construction of large-scale projects such as villages, and his opinions were also appreciated by Lin Jue. Since the Falling Wild Goose Army had a swarm of bazookas, Nguyen Binh has also become the commander of this kind of firearms that need to be operated and assembled, and at the same time, he also gave full play to his advantage of being good at building and actively designed various equipment and equipment for the Falling Wild Goose Army. Now he is the deputy commander of the infantry of the Luoyan Army, the deputy commander of the swarm of firearms battalions, and the commander of the infantry engineer battalion. Today's attack on Bianliang City is not only to open the gap in the city wall, but also to break through the wide Bianliang moat. The key step in the cavalry raid was to preemptively establish a passage for the cavalry to charge, and this important task could only be performed by Nguyen Binh.

Ruan Ping laughed and said: "Don't worry, the quick-laying sliding pontoon truck designed by the last general has not yet come in handy, and today it will show its means under Bianliang City." Within a stick of incense, if the pontoon bridge could not be laid for the cavalry to charge, Ruan Ping raised his head to see him. ”

Lin Jue nodded and shouted, "Okay, I don't want your head either, I just want you to do good things." The time for one stick of incense is a bit harsh, I will give you two sticks of incense time, and send three thousand shield soldiers to protect your sappers. What do you think? ”

Ruan Ping laughed and said: "Then there is nothing to say, the big man is so helpful, if he can't do this, does Ruan Ping still have face?" Marshal, the last general will go to prepare. ”

Lin Jue nodded and said, "You can all go and prepare." Everyone should be safe, and still be the same sentence, not only to win the battle, but also to live. ”

Ma Bin laughed and said: "Don't worry, I don't want to die yet, the day of promotion and fortune is still ahead." ”

Ma Bin and the others took the order and left, Lin Jue sighed and was about to speak. Sun Da beside him

Yong said: "Dashuai, what about us?" Where are we going? ”

Gao Muqing also said: "Yes, what are we going to do?" Dry watching in the back? ”

Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "You and I are after controlling Nancheng. When you enter the city, you not only protect me, but you also have to protect the emperor. The emperor said that he did not want to stay outside the city to wait, and he wanted to follow the attacking soldiers into the city. Therefore, you can't go anywhere, all the guards of the firearms cavalry battalion, Mu Qingbing'er, you have to shoulder the responsibility of guarding. After all, once the city is attacked, chaos and danger are everywhere, and you need to protect me and the emperor. ”

As soon as Lin Jue said this, Gao Muqing Baibing and Sun Dayong had nothing to say. In fact, they all know that Lin Jue's temper has always been in the front, and this time he is willing to follow behind for the sake of the emperor, which shows that he attaches great importance to safety. So they actually have a great responsibility to continue to do a good job of protection.

Everything was arranged, Lin Jue raised his eyes and looked at the ten high platforms, where groups of soldiers were busy adjusting the muzzles, loading ammunition, and preparing for launch. At this moment, everything is in place, only the east wind is owed.

……

Above the city, the cannon bombarded and collapsed half of the corner towers of the city. One of the commanders of the forbidden army guarding the Nanxun Gate was so frightened that he was stunned at that time. Early this morning, the Falling Goose Army suddenly lined up under the city, and the commander was indeed nervous for a while, but he soon disagreed.

During this time, as for the reason for the delay in attacking the city by the Luoyan army outside the city, there were several meetings of middle and senior officers inside the defending soldiers and horses, speculating about the reason. In the end, there was a lieutenant general's words that made everyone stunned. The lieutenant general said that according to intelligence, there were no siege equipment in the Luoyan army, and except for some carts transporting supplies, there were no siege equipment such as catapults and cloud carts in the entire army, so in fact, it was not that they did not want to attack, but they could not attack the city at all. To siege a city is to send it to death.

This statement was soon confirmed. The scouts sent out to reconnoiter confirmed that there were no siege engines in the camp, so the adjutant was clearly right. If you don't have siege equipment, you want to attack Bianliang City? That's wishful thinking.

In the past few days, the top brass of the defenders in the city is most concerned about whether the opposing army's army has begun to build or transport siege equipment. This has become a barometer of whether the opponent will attack or not. If the opponent wants to attack, he must first have siege equipment in place. Because of this, until this morning, or until the corner tower was destroyed by shells fired by unknown equipment of the other side, the defenders, from top to bottom, did not think that the Luoyan army would attack the city in the short term.

Therefore, the deputy commander guarding the Nanxun Gate quickly lost interest in the behavior of the opposing horse infantry Chen Bing under the city, but not half of the siege equipment appeared in the field of vision. He thinks that the other side is bluffing and that they are not qualified to attack. Chen Jue and other generals are all in the palace today to participate in Lu Xiang's enthronement ceremony, and the Luoyan army may just be disgusting with this.

However, the deputy commander's disbelief was shattered by the earth-shaking loud noise, and after witnessing the overturning of a large area of the corner tower, he finally understood that the other party was not joking, the other party was really going to attack, and the means were something he had never seen before.

"Quick! Quickly go and report to Commander Chen and Commander Wang to Commander Yuan to make them command, and say that the Luoyan army is going to attack the city, and ask them to come to the south city as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation. Fast! Fast! The lieutenant commander of the city shouted.
