A quarter of an hour later, after the whole army had eaten and drunk and rested, Lin Feng urged the horse to take a few steps forward, and the three scarlet flags behind him also followed, slightly passing the front line a few steps away and stopping in place.

At this time, whether it is at the head of the city or under the city, everyone present knows one thing, the big war is coming.

The crowd behind him dodged several wide cracks, slowly forming passages, two siege tower vehicles, one siege cone vehicle, twenty ballistae, and fifteen medium-sized trebuchets, which passed through the passage without hurry, crossed Lin Feng, and began to line up in front.

Nine hundred meters, now the effective range of the ballista, twenty ballistas are staggered in turn, and the well-trained operators began to connect the winch, stuck the arrow into the arrow groove, adjusted the firing angle, and then began to step on the winch, ready to wait for orders.

The two siege towers followed, blocking the siege cone behind them with their huge bodies, dozens of hundreds of soldiers were already ready behind the shields on both sides of the siege cone, and the two teams of 100 elites also hid behind the siege towers, and there were two teams of 50 people behind each of them.

The fifteen trebuchets did not move, and under the protection of the soldiers around them, all the parts were still placed on the wagons, and everyone waited, waiting for the best range.

"Let's get started!" Seeing that everything in front of him was done in an orderly manner, Lin Feng nodded slowly at Zhuge Cheng, who was staring at him in front of him, with a face full of indifference, as if he was about to watch a movie, rather than commanding a big battle.

"Ready!"

"Ready!"

。。。

As the red order flag in Zhuge Cheng's left hand waved downward, several commanders who had been staring at the order flag opened their mouths to give orders.

Immediately afterwards, the winch made a brisk "creaking" sound, and then gradually became slow and heavy, which also indicated that the winch was fully charged.

Seeing that the operator's movements gradually stopped, Zhuge Cheng suddenly waved the blue order flag raised in his right hand fiercely.

"Put!"

"Put!"

。。。

"Whoosh, whoosh. Call.. ”

"Whoosh, whoosh. Call.. ”

。。。

With the commander's order, several loud bangs sounded one after another, and ten artillery arrows were fired one after another, rushing away with a dull whistling sound, and the target was the towering north city wall of Chengdu Mansion in front.

"Be careful, sir!" Gongsun Yun at the head of the city pulled Chen Jingxuan backwards, and at the same time dodged in front of him, shouting in a low voice as a reminder. On the other side, General Wang had already retreated, but he hadn't taken a step yet, but after seeing Gongsun Yun's reaction, he forcibly turned his foothold to Chen Jingxuan's side, and stubbornly blocked the other half of Chen Jingxuan's body.

The rest of the generals snatched up behind the shields that the guards had prepared long ago, and one by one they bent down and hung their heads, and even some of the generals who had shadows on the ballistas even closed their eyes, lest their heads on the top of the shields be shattered by a blow.

The first arrow fell a little too early, only hitting the city wall two meters away from the city, although it did not cause much damage, but it still blew up the entire wall in the first place. After the firelight, a gap only a few inches in diameter remained, only to be blackened by the instantaneous heat, and a puff of debris and smoke along with it.

The second and third artillery arrows were more competitive, and they could cross the shield wall raised by the defenders at the head of the city, and smashed heavily on the stone wall of the roadway and the battlement behind everyone, although the damage caused was still limited, but the iron thistle terrestris that splashed out of the explosion still affected many people, but the casualties were not very large, at least no one died on the spot.

The next artillery arrows are each running towards their own goals, some smashed on the city wall, some just hit the body of the defender through the battlement, and some hit the shield, even the shield led the person to the rear, the explosion of the cannon arrow is actually the most powerful, in the face of the thick stone wall, the destructive power is somewhat insignificant, but for the physical defenders, even if there is a layer of armor to cover the body, but the impact of the explosion can be easily torn and penetrated, but the damage caused is also limited, as long as it does not hit the eye, The larynx or some unlucky ghosts are pierced through the back of the heart with weak defense, and under normal circumstances, they still do not die on the spot.

In fact, on the whole, the first round of ten artillery arrows did not cause many casualties to the defenders at the head of the city, but after all, this situation was the first time they had experienced it personally, and the fear in it could only be understood by themselves.

Many of the unlucky ghosts who have been tricked have begun to howl wolf in the city, in fact, those who can still scream are already slightly injured, but the damage caused by this explosion is far less than the trauma to their souls, and they seem to have seen their own death in fear, some of them have only been hit in a few places by thistles in their arms, but they have begun to fall to the ground, and the miserable howls from their mouths and the wriggling of crawling on the ground seem to prove that they are about to die. Such an atmosphere of fear does not need to be exaggerated at all, only air and wind, a light breeze blows, mixed with the wailing in the air will reach the ears of more people, and those unharmed companions will double the original fear in their hearts after seeing and hearing it, and it will rise in a straight line.

With the firing of the first round of artillery arrows, Zhuge Cheng had already waved the red and blue flags again, and the ten ballistae staggered in the second row were fired with them, and the ten arrows flew to the top of the city again.

The firing of artillery arrows did not concentrate on Chen Jingxuan's location at all, but at those battlements that were not affected, one after another, raging over and over again, ravaging every life in the city, and the fragile heart of every life.

"My lord! You go down and avoid it first! We've got it all for you! Seeing more and more dense artillery arrows ascending to the top of the city, Gongsun Yun pulled Chen Jingxuan to dodge around on the road, and gradually felt a little powerless, taking advantage of the gap between the two rounds of artillery arrows, he hurriedly shouted at Chen Jingxuan with a concerned face.

General Wang, who had been by Chen Jingxuan's side, was not far behind when he saw this, and also nodded in agreement, and hurriedly expressed his loyalty to Chen Jingxuan: "My lord! We've got us all in there! After all, this war is not long-sighted, so as not to be injured by mistake! ”

"How can this work!" Hearing this, although Chen Jingxuan felt a burst of relief in his heart, he still scolded the two with anger on his face: "The soldiers of the whole army are looking at me!" How can I go at this juncture! No way! Don't persuade me! Even if you die, you can't leave everyone behind! ”

"My lord! Now is not the time to be angry! Gongsun Yun was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, stomping his feet on the spot, but he also had a heart for Chen Jingxuan.

Suddenly hearing the whistling sound in the air from far and near again, Gongsun Yun glanced at it urgently, stretched out his hand and pulled a guard holding a shield to his side, and then he heard a loud bang in his ears, and the corridor under his feet shook violently.

Just a few meters on his side, a cloud of black smoke slowly rose, and several soldiers guarding the city fell around, all of whom were stabbed in the back or neck by the thistle, and even the left arm of Gongsun Yun, who was protecting Chen Jingxuan just now, was also caused by the explosion to cause a few bloody cuts by the chaotic thistle.

Just a few rounds of artillery arrows, the wailing of the city head has completely covered the explosion of the artillery arrows, the explosion of the city head keeps rising up with thick black smoke, every few meters on the road will see a few fallen soldiers, the soldiers who keep running back and forth are even more busy, sometimes the people who run forward with their heads stuffy will be caught off guard and knocked to the ground, and some of the unlucky ones may be scratched by the thistles scattered on the ground.

However, despite this, with a general like Chen Jingxuan still holding on, the morale of the whole army can be regarded as improving, at least not as everyone thought, as soon as the war starts, Chen Jingxuan will take the road and flee, at least he is still living and dying with everyone.

The originally low morale has also been improved by a while, and the morale of the army has been slightly more stable than before.
