A few days later, truckloads of boulders were transported back to the Wind Army's camp.

At this time, the 300,000 Zhangguo Central Army, which was drawn from China by Yan Han, had just set off not long ago, and the troops were commanded by General Nie Heng, and it was still more than 900 miles away from the Hedong battlefield.

On the way, Nie Heng's adjutant general said to him: "General, this place is still more than 900 miles away from the Hedong battlefield, and our army has been on the road for several days in a row. ”

"What are you resting for!? The wind army has not been out for three years, and once it is dispatched, it will be a thunder offensive! Do you want to rest? But the Wind Army will give you time to rest! The more we delay here, the more dangerous the Hedong front will be! Pass on my military order, all soldiers, full speed ahead! Those who dare to lag behind will be engaged in military law! ”

Nie Heng is about thirty-six or seventy-seven years old, and his military talent is about the same as Zhao Yuan, and he is also a general of Zhang Guo, but he uses soldiers but is a conservative.

This time he commanded an army of 300,000 Zhang, almost nothing with him, the soldiers were armed with weapons, wearing armor, and each of them went on the road with their own rations on the road.

Because in the east of the river, there is enough grain and grass. And Nie Heng supported Hedong lightly, in order to be able to raise the speed of the march. Yan Han thought that the hundreds of thousands of Zhang troops in Hedong were enough to support his own help, but Nie Heng didn't think so.

He is in the Zhang State Court, he belongs to Yu Wenlie's faction, and he can also be said to be Yu Wenlie's old subordinate. A long time ago, when Yu Wenlie was drinking and chatting with him, he told him that the wind people are belligerent, and the wind king Lu Chen is an extremely strategic person, everyone looks on the surface, the wind country is poor and weak, and there has been no movement for three years, in fact, this is more terrible than having movement!

Regarding Yu Wenlie's words, Nie Heng thought so. He believes that the sudden dispatch of the Feng Army this time, it is not difficult to see from the personal expedition of its Wind King Lu Chen that this attack on Hedong, the Wind Country has definitely planned for a long time, not as the ministers in the Zhang State court thought, it was the Wind Country that saw the situation.

It's just that in the courts, military attachés have always been soft-spoken, far less eloquent than civil officials.

It is more than 900 miles away, and if you march all the way, you can reach the east of the river in a few days.

Although the speed of Nie Heng's support is fast enough, it may be difficult for Hedong County to hold on until the reinforcements arrive.

After the boulder was transported to the camp, Lu Chen did not delay for a moment, and in the afternoon of the same day, he began to launch a fierce attack on Hedong County!

"Quick! Take the stone thrower a little back! This distance will hit the head of the city, retreat a little bit, yes, yes, yes! A little further back—"

On the plain outside the city wall, looking back, there is a neat formation, standing there motionless hundreds of thousands of wind troops, looking at the front of the line, there are groups of ten, a group of soldiers, there to adjust the position of the stone thrower.

On the wall of the county town, Tang Cheng, the head of the county, watched the wind army set up one after another stone throwing machines, but he had no way at all, at such a distance, the arrows couldn't reach it at all, but he couldn't let him lead the army out of the city and stop the wind army's behavior, if so, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to go back!

"The stone bullets of the First Corps of the Pingzhou Army have been loaded-"

"The Second Corps is ready—"

"The 1st Corps of the Tiger Army is ready-"

More than 100 stone throwers lined up outside the city pass from left to right, and after all the stone throwers were loaded with stone bullets, Lu Chen stood up and said to the heralds: "Immediately pass on the king's military order!" Tell the generals of the armies! Every time the stone thrower is thrown, be sure to see the king order flag fired! If the flag is not moved, no one is allowed to fire stone bullets without permission! ”

"No!"

As more than a dozen heralds passed down Lu Chen's military orders, soon, the banner at the position of the chariot began to shake from side to side, and the commanders of the corps began to draw their swords and command the throwing when they saw this.

In an instant, more than 100 huge stone projectiles were thrown out at the same time.

"Boom—"

All the boulders, almost at the same time, slammed into the city walls!

And the effect of this kind of projectile can make the tall city wall at the same time, countless places, be violently impacted at the same time!

After a round of projectiles, the walls of Hedong County seemed to tremble a few times, shaking off a thick layer of dust.

Tang Cheng on the city wall had the most direct feeling, such a large-scale stone bomb throwing, he couldn't help but gasp, and then stabilized his shaking body, and said with horror in his eyes: "Wind ...... What does the Wind Army want to do? ”

"This ...... It seems that they want to destroy this city......" Wang Dong said with a pale face.

"Impossible! This is the county seat of Hedong, no matter how weak its city defense is, it can't be smashed by just a few stone bullets! ”

"Oh sir! Although the city defense here is tall and solid, it has gone through many wars over the years and has not been renovated! No wonder the Wind Army hasn't attacked in the past few days, and now it seems that they must have gone to collect boulders before! If the bombardment continues like this, I'm afraid the city wall will collapse sooner or later......"

They were talking in the city, and Lu Chen outside the city didn't delay for a minute, and after the stone throwers were loaded with stone bullets again, the banner moved again.

More than 100 boulders struck all parts of the city wall at the same time.

At this time, after two blows to the huge city pass, due to the simultaneous force in various places, a convex and uneven phenomenon has begun to appear on the surface.

"Quick! Remove the walls! Hurry—"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Tang Cheng shouted loudly on the city wall, but just when those Zhang soldiers and soldiers reacted and began to run towards the city in a swarm, the third salvo of the Wind Army's stone throwing machine arrived.

"Boom—"

As the two boulders hit a range at the same time, the city wall of that piece was suddenly smashed into bricks and stones, and collapsed with a bang! A large opening several meters wide was revealed.

Seeing this, Lu Chen's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he immediately began to shout: "Pass my military order!" All the catapults, start bombarding indiscriminately! Use up all the stone bullets you have! ”

"No!"

With the issuance of Lu Chen's military order, the Feng army camp began to carry out indiscriminate stone bomb strikes again. And there was a place of collapse, and the walls of that large area soon began to collapse under the blow of the boulders, and in the dust, there were also soldiers and soldiers from time to time who fell into the collapse from above.

One after another, the boulders were still falling from mid-air, and after half an hour, all the stone bullets prepared by the wind army had been exhausted, and at the same time, the city defense of Hedong County had become full of holes, and it was not what it looked like.

The collapse of large areas in various places has exposed six or seven large gaps in this huge city.

The flags began to swing backwards, and the stone throwers retreated.

Hundreds of thousands of halberd infantry troops stepped forward and lined up in formation.

"Drumming—"
