Chapter 549: Artillery Siege

An Shirong nodded: "We have different positions, and this battle cannot be avoided." ”

Chao Gai shook his head: "You won, why bother." ”

An Shirong is also a little confident, he thinks that it is impossible to win the fierce Jeju army with the same strength in the field, but there is no problem in relying on the city wall to defend, and there are reinforcements from Tian Hu in the rear.

An Shirong flew out of the formation, and it turned out to be Lu Yuan who played. It was too late for Ellon to stop him.

Lu Yuan is An Shirong's deputy general, with a Xuanhua axe, great strength, and a nickname called Sai Xu Huang, comparing himself to Xu Huang of the Three Kingdoms.

Lu Yuan shouted: "The rats of the Jeju army, who dares to come to fight." ”

There are many main generals and deputy generals on the Jeju army's side, which one doesn't want to perform in front of the two armies, but let Qin Ming take the lead, Qin Ming shook the mace in his hand and flew out.

"Qin Ming came to fight you." The two of them reported their names, and the two horses hedged, and the Xuanhua axe was against the mace, and the horses that were impacting at high speed made a bang.

After the three-in-one, Lu Yuan lacked strength, and was beaten by Qin Ming with a big axe, hit his head with a stick, and died on the battlefield.

The Jeju military town shouted loudly and cheered, and on the battlefield of An Shirong, An Shirong shouted: "Hugh is rampant, I will fight you." ”

An Shirong Pegasus came to fight Qin Ming, the big iron spear against the mace, a good kill, and the fight was dark. Qin Ming has great strength and a strong stick technique. Ellsglory's marksmanship is like a dragon, coming and going freely.

Chao Gai praised: "The two real tiger generals are fighting equally. ”

Seeing that An Shirong was worried that An Shirong was in danger, Fang Shun said: "Once the Lord will have something to do, Yangquan will be in danger, so go and answer it quickly." Two lieutenants rushed up to answer Ellsglory and retreated.

An Shirong collected his troops and returned to the city, losing Lu Yuan sullenly. The whole army is mobilized, the wooden planks on the city wall are angry, the people have already moved the rolling wood and stones, and the city wall is burning dung soup, which is a sharp weapon for city defense, as long as the skin is burned, it will definitely be infected and die, and the cure rate is very low.

Chao Gai sat on his horse, and Zhu Wujun was beside him.

Chao Gai said: "Let's start, prepare to attack the city." ”

Zhu Wuling waved his flag and said, "The shield bearer is in front, and the spearman is behind, marching forward." ”

The horns carried by the two of them and the huge cowhide war drums resounded throughout the battlefield.

The shieldbearer shouted a trumpet and slowly advanced with a shield more than a man high. The cavalry on both sides guarded the two wings, with the big banner in the middle, and the construction corps of 20,000 pure cold weapons behind it. On the city wall, An Shirong looked at it and smiled slightly, it turned out that the Jeju army was also attacking the city, isn't it strange.

But the army stopped two miles away, and was blocked by shields, so that it was impossible to see what was going on inside. After a few moments, the shieldmen retreated twenty meters, revealing two hundred guns on the gun carriage.

These are 200 red-coated cannons, 100 each of Wu Song's battalion and Li Kui's battalion. This is the bottom of the box pressed by Chao Gai, almost all the artillery, a thousand pounds of red-clothed cannons can hit three miles, it is more convenient to aim in two miles, and Chao Gai is also sure that there is no giant catapult in Yangquan, the construction of giant catapults is complicated, Tian Hu cannot build it in a short time, and the small catapult is only five or six hundred meters away, and there is no threat to the red-coated cannons two miles away.

"Observe the shooting." Six redcoat cannons, under the operation of an experienced gunner, the six guns adjusted three firing parameters, divided the time period, ignited and fired, boom, boom. Six guns fired two shells a second time and hit the city walls, immediately adopting the second firing parameter.

The technician adjusted the shooting angle, and Bao Xu held the red flag with cotton in his ears and commanded beside him.

"Ready, light the fire." With Bao Xu's roar. The artilleryman lit it with an arquebus.

Boom, boom, boom. The first batch of artillery was only a hundred guns, but even so, the ground shook, and the small melon-sized * exploded on the city wall, and the soldiers behind the arrow wall were directly blown away. Of course, some shells blew into the city walls and ignited a fire, while others exploded outside the walls without any effect.

An Shirong came out from behind the hidden city wall to watch again, the shelled city wall of several hundred meters was blown up in dozens of places, and the soldiers' faces were full of panic.

"General, get down." An Shirong was looking at it, and was suddenly suppressed by his own soldiers, and there was a burst of artillery fire that shook the mountains. When the artillery fire was extinguished, An Shirong was pulled up by the soldiers around him, and the soldiers who pressed on him were already dead, hit in the back by shrapnel, and were no longer saved.

An Shirong scolded: "What kind of cannon is this, why is it so powerful." Our catapults, ready to fight back. ”

The catapult was erected, and it was only three or four hundred meters to throw dozens of pounds of round stones first.

"It's far away, it's far away. Change the bowl size stone. The officer scolded, and began to change the bowl-sized stone to prepare to return fire.

At this time, the artillery thought again, and with a boom, seven or eight rounds fell on the catapult position on the city wall, and several catapults were smashed at once.

"General go down, I'll take command." Fang Shun.

An Shirong knew that the soldiers in the city had no intention of fighting, so he had no choice but to retreat.

Li Kuizheng and Wu Song chattered, saying, "Oh, it's true, the red-clothed cannon is endless." If you want me Li Kui to say that he will lead the troops to kill him, he will come down from Yangquan City with a plate axe. ”

Wu Song said: "We have no experience in conquering Jiancheng, we have to brave the rain of arrows, roll wood and stones, and the most terrible thing is the dung soup." ”

Li Kui pursed his lips and scolded: "It's disgusting, but I'm not afraid of Tie Niu, and I'm the first to go up to the city wall." ”

"Then you lead the troops to the city wall." Wu Song said.

Li Kui said: "You are stupid to be an iron bull, you must not be ordered to attack the city privately, and you must hit the board if you don't cut off your head." ”

The shelling continued until the sun was in the west, and almost a thousand shots were fired, and the entire eastern wall was empty. Most of the dead and wounded, the rest took refuge behind the walls.

Li Kui asked, "Brother, are you attacking?" The ladders are all ready. ”

Chao Gai said: "Attack, only run forward for a mile and come back, remember that you must not go forward." ”

The drums of war were pounding, and the hearts of the people of the town were reaching their throats.

Wu Song and Li Kui's two 8,000 infantry took shields and carried ladders to make an earth-shattering shouting sound of killing, and began the project.

The officer in the city was frightened and scolded: "Horses, hurry up to the city to defend." ”

More than half of the defenders to the east had been killed or wounded, and had to be brought in from elsewhere. The soldiers panicked and went up to the city wall with their weapons, ready to defend. Just as he was getting ready, he suddenly found that the enemy army had retreated.

As soon as the nervous hearts of the soldiers were put down, at this time the shelling began, and two hundred guns were fired together, knock knock, boom boom. The entire city wall was plunged into a sea of fire, and the soldiers standing on the city wall were scattered by artillery shells, and they suffered heavy casualties.

Under the city wall, An Shirong spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
