"Haha, your king is too polite, Lao Li, go back and thank him for his kindness for me, Beijiang Mansion is nothing, I can fight it today!"

Zhao Rui's arrogant statement attracted Sihamoni's ridicule.

Originally, I was worried that Zhao Rui would unite with the Champa State, so Angkor would be at a disadvantage, but just now I heard that Zhao Rui didn't have such an idea at all, but wanted to go it alone, it was too arrogant!

"Hahaha...... Lord Wang, are you a little too underestimating the Jiaozhi people? What can be captured in one day, I think it will take at least a month or two! ”

Looking at Zhao Rui's disapproving look, Sihamoni decided to let Zhao Rui thoroughly understand the current situation.

"We Angkor just received the news that the Bac Giang Mansion was guarded by Chen Xuan, the emperor of the Chen Dynasty, and they also used a large number of iron plates, no matter how powerful your musket is, it will definitely not be able to break the city for a while!"

Sihamoni raised his face arrogantly, tilted his chin and said: "The people of Cham have not yet broken through Nghe An Province, and they are thousands of miles away from Beijiang, and their help can be said to be ineffective in time. But our Angkor is different, we are about the same distance from Thang Long, we can flank the east and west, and break the enemy together, so joining forces with our Angkor is the most correct choice for you, Lord Wang! ”

"Phew, who knows what the hell you Angkor is thinking, you have to think twice, lord! Moreover, we occupy the city and have strong soldiers, and it is extremely easy to increase our forces to break the city! Besides, what's wrong with the long distance, isn't it possible for Jiaozhi people to travel long distances! Li Fulin heard that the Angkor people were stirring up trouble, and he hurriedly said without showing weakness.

"Who are you?" Sihamoni was always robbed by Li Fulin, and he was a little annoyed and angry.

"Phew, what's wrong with you?" Li Fulin stiffened his neck and glared, without any weakness.

"Okay, I'll let you know the consequences today!"

Sihamoni shook his arms and was about to go up to practice.

"Oh, come on, who's afraid of you!" Li Fulin rolled up his sleeves and was about to catch up.

Dizzy, why are you still fighting in front of yourself?

Zhao Rui couldn't smile bitterly, and hurriedly asked Zhao Gong to pull the two of them apart.

"You two are so capable of fighting, why don't you go with my vanguard army to attack the city in a while!"

Although the two were pulled away, they still hated each other in the air.

"Alright, let's get ready to attack!" Zhao Rui got up and said a word to Zhao Gong, then walked out, and said to the two of them by the way: "I said that I can take Beijiang Mansion today, you still don't believe it, don't go, just watch here." ”

Both of them were speechless, the words had already been spoken, Zhao Rui still insisted on attacking the city, so let's take a look.

Li Fulin was a little skeptical at this time, although he knew that Zhao Rui's strength was strong, but to take a big city in one day, was it a bit exaggerated?

And Sihamoni didn't believe it at all, looking like he was waiting to see a good show.

Zhao Rui had already left the barracks, and the two had to follow behind.

Arjuna waited outside the door for a long time, and when she saw Zhao Rui come out, she hugged her fist and said, "Lord Wang, I'm going to fight a pioneer!" ”

"Go ahead, be careful!"

Under the command of Zhao Gong, the army advanced as a whole, and Arjuna led a team of 5,000 people to approach the city wall of Bac Giang Province first.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

"Hurry up and prepare!"

"Quick, quick!"

The Cochin people on the city walls were in a hurry, ready for the battle to come.

The striker Arjuna led the team to a hundred feet away from the city wall, and was already within the range of the musket, and Arjuna was just about to order someone to aim and shoot, but when she looked up, she saw a black pressure on the city wall.

The Cochin soldiers defending the city were each holding an iron plate in front of them, and they were fully prepared.

Arjuna knew that ammunition could not penetrate the steel plate at this distance, and waved her hand to let her men press forward.

As a result, although the distance was close, it was immediately attacked by indiscriminate arrows from behind the steel plate.

Not to be outdone, Arjuna told the soldiers to be careful, and at the same time, ordered everyone to shoot back.

"Tutu Tu Tu ...... Sudden ......"

The walls of the city clanged and sounded, but Arjuna found that there was no real damage at all, as if the iron plates used by their men were harder than they had ever encountered, and that all the ammunition for the muskets had bounced out.

Zhao Rui saw that the situation was not very good, and there were constantly people who were wounded by arrows and lost their combat effectiveness.

Li Fulin sighed and said, "Alas, wait a little longer, just wait for us to attack together!" ”

Sihamoni felt that Zhao Rui was overwhelmed, let's see how he ended up today, no matter how powerful the musket was, it was not all blocked.

Zhao Rui didn't have time to deal with them, so he took out a box of ** from the carriage, then opened it immediately, stood up with a few in his arms, and then pulled the fuse and threw it out in turn.

Now Zhao Rui is about less than 200 meters away from the city wall, which exceeds the limit of ordinary people's throwing distance, but for Zhao Rui, he can easily do it without the blessing of a strong charm.

"Whoosh, whoosh~"

One after another, ** flew over, and from a distance, it really looked like black stones.

Arjuna couldn't help but smile at the corner of her mouth when she saw Zhao Rui make a move, and the Jiaozhi people couldn't be happy for long, because even if they couldn't destroy their iron plates, they could blow the city wall to pieces!

Zhao Rui did not use the strong charm Another advantage, that is** flight time in the air, if you bless the strong charm, it is very likely to be rebounded by the iron plate, but now because the time has increased, so some** will explode when they just touch the iron plate!

"Boom, boom, boom......" explosions continued one after another.

The equivalent of one-third of the ** exploded in mid-air, and the rest fell to the bottom of the city wall and exploded.

Arjuna was even about to charge, but if she looked closely, it didn't seem to cause much damage to the Cochins.

Those who exploded in mid-air just ejected the people holding the iron plate, they shook their heads, and carried the iron plate to continue to defend.

And the solidity of the city wall is even more incredible, after a series of explosions, the city wall that should have been blown up a long time ago has been exposed, but it is rusty!

Cochin actually arranged iron plates on the surface of the city wall?

Although it was not visible at first, after the explosion, a layer of earth and rock was blown off, and it was already clearly visible.

Chen Xuan supervised the battle within the city wall, the explosion just now made him tremble for a while, the ground was constantly shaking and shaking, thinking that Zhao Rui's explosive iron ball was really powerful, fortunately, he had heard the information and had arranged it, otherwise it was really a question whether the city wall could hold it now.

After a brief pause, the arrows of the Cochins popped up again, all thrown out, causing great trouble to Arjuna's army.

"The artillery is ready!"

Zhao Rui shouted, and at the same time ordered Arjuna to retreat one after another.

"Artillery?"

Sihamoni squinted, he knew more about the Song Dynasty, and artillery was not a new thing, it had appeared since the Northern Song Dynasty, but the power was too small, and it could only scare people.

It's better to defend the city on the city wall, but if you attack the city, it's really not good, one is that it can't shoot such a distance, and the other is that even if it does, the artillery has no penetrating power, and you still expect it to break through the city defense?

Li Fulin had seen the appearance of the ship's cannons, and looking at the size of the gun carriages pushed by the soldiers, it seemed to be made by enlargement of the kind equipped on the ship.

Fifty artillery pieces were withdrawn, and for the sake of artillery, Zhao Rui also built a new artillery battalion to conduct unified training for all the soldiers.

Now a cannon is operated by five people, plus the people who transport shells and **, an artillery battalion is about three hundred people.

Although Sihamoni was not optimistic about Zhao Rui's artillery, he was still full of curiosity when he saw the soldiers busy in an orderly manner, and stepped forward to check.

Originally, Zhao Rui didn't think about using artillery, because after all, there were a large number of civilians in the city, and the first round of artillery was often not accurate, and it was easy to cause accidental injuries.

After all, Zhao Rui is fighting for territory, and he also attaches great importance to the population, only when the population is large, it makes sense to occupy the city, and it can develop healthily in the future.

Now there is no way to use artillery, the muskets and ** have not worked, and Arjuna's team has also suffered a lot of casualties.

Compared with **, artillery is the best technology that can show Zhao Rui's advanced **.

"Report to the prince, after loading, do you shoot?" A young general reported to Zhao Rui.

This is the process stipulated by Zhao Rui, because of the loading speed of artillery, except for the moment of crisis at sea, it is now a siege war, so it is natural to make full preparations if you want to shoot.

"Let's try firing ten cannons first, be careful to keep the angle as low as possible, and shoot at the city wall!"

"Yes, Lord Wang!"

The young general pointed to the ten cannons lined up in front, and they adjusted them according to Zhao Rui's instructions, and then lit the fuse of the cannon with a fire fold together.

The fuse was burning, and Sihamoni involuntarily took a few steps back, covering his ears, hearing that the sound of the cannon was loud, so as not to be deafened by it.

Li Fulin saw the Angkor envoy dodging, he stopped the footsteps that he wanted to retreat, and kept standing behind Zhao Rui and watching, thinking in his heart that he couldn't lose the face of the city, Zhao Rui He didn't retreat, he had nothing to retreat, and it also made the Angkor envoy open his eyes to see that the people of the city were not cowards.

Thinking of this, Li Fulin made a provocative gesture towards Sihamoni, but was immediately responded by Sihamoni with a roll of the eyes.

The fuse burned out, and green smoke was still rising from the hole.

Just when the two envoys were curious why they hadn't launched yet, a series of cannon shots rang out, which frightened both of them into a trembling tremble.

With such a loud voice, I just don't know how powerful it is.

The two of them looked at the city wall at the same time, too far away to see the trajectory of the cannonballs.

"Bang Bang...... Boom ......"

ran but continued to hit the city wall, fortunately Zhao Rui asked them to lower the angle just now, otherwise it was very likely that they would shoot into the city wall.

The iron plates, which were originally quite strong under the **, were not so reliable under the impact of artillery, and they were blown off the wall one after another, falling pieces of earth and stones, and even opened huge holes in a few places, and a few shells also rushed into the city.
