Seeing that the cannons on the city wall were so inaccurate, Tian Bao immediately ordered the soldiers to hurry up and send troops to set up the formation, with the sword players carrying ladders in front and the archers in the back. Catapult soldiers are nervously assembling catapults, ready to blow up the walls. But at this time, the red-coated cannon at the head of the city fired again, and the loud cannon exploded at once, boom, boom

Tian Leopard's laughter ended, the catapult was still six or seven hundred meters away from the city wall, and it was smashed at such a distance, if it moved forward, wouldn't it be blown into scum? But the war is about to start, and at this time, the main general will show timidity, where does the morale come from.

Qiao Daoqing next to him said: "Don't wait for the catapult, they still attack in turns, they won't be able to hold on for an hour at most." ”

Tian Bao nodded and said, "The military advisor is right, start attacking." ”

The drums of war shook the sky and the trumpets sounded in unison. The soldiers began to attack the city like ants, and Tian Leopard was also ruthless, setting up a thousand crossbowmen as a supervising team, and the soldiers who escaped from the battle were to pass through the arrow array.

Sure enough, just as Tian Bao thought, the catapult pushed forward slightly, and after entering the range of the tiger squat cannon, it was blown up before it could even throw the stone.

Qiao Daoqing shook his head distressedly, the catapult has spent a lot of money to build in the past ten days, but he didn't expect that it would be beaten to pieces without even throwing a stone, is the catapult at the end of the road?

Just thinking about it, the charging soldiers had already gone up, and there were hundreds of more than 4,000 soldiers who fell into the pit, and then they set up a ladder to charge forward under the fire of the tiger squat cannon, "Kill." "The shouts of killing shook the sky.

Tian Huxin ascended the throne and became the emperor, and the soldiers also had a hope, so the morale was still very high. But today there is a new force on the city wall, and Bian Xiang commanded 3,000 soldiers to fight back violently, and arrows rained down. Bian Xiang looked at the situation on the battlefield coldly, and saw that the soldiers besieging the city all had small shields and had a certain defensive ability against bows and arrows, and the soldiers defending the city gradually suffered casualties, so he immediately ordered: "Turn on the crossbow king car and prepare to launch." ”

"Yes." The soldiers lifted a huge crossbow machine, more than two meters wide and three meters long, to reveal the neatly arranged crossbow arrows inside. Why is it called the crossbow king, because this crossbow is no longer a crossbow arrow in the traditional sense, the crossbow king is a combination of crossbow arrows and a steam engine.

The steam boiler was already burning, the steam engine wheel rotated rapidly, pulled down the clutch, and the crossbow arrows in the crossbow machine were fired by the power of the steam engine, and the birch crossbow arrows with a diameter of three centimeters were preceded by a sharp spear head.

Tian Hujun, who was charging to attack the city, was dumbfounded, bang, a huge crossbow arrow shot over and easily tore the small round shield in the soldier's hand, and then pierced the soldier's body, this is not counting, the huge crossbow arrow penetrated the body of the next one before stopping.

The crossbow king driven by the steam engine is a new product of the new Jeju Machinery Factory, but there is no mass production, and when fighting against the Liao State last winter, Chao Gai considered that the Jingcheng mountain area was relatively small and faced with great pressure, so he secretly sent four crossbow kings and eight red-clothed cannons weighing thousands of pounds. I didn't expect it to be used so quickly, and it was still Tian Hujun who was dealt with.

The four steam crossbow bolts were too powerful, with an average rate of fire of one shot per second, and after firing continuously for a minute, at least five hundred besieging soldiers fell. Just when these siege soldiers were stunned, the fire and thunder bullets of the defenders arrived again, and they were thrown down like dumplings, and most of the soldiers who were besieging the city were finished in a blink of an eye.

"Let the first team pull back." Tian Bao felt a sense of powerlessness, he didn't expect this small Jingcheng Xiguan to be so difficult to fight.

"At this time, we can't withdraw, and the second team will also press up, otherwise the sacrifice of the first team will be worthless." Qiao Daoqing said.

Tian Bao said: "Okay, the military advisor will give the order." ”

Qiao Daoqing was about to let the second team go up, the giant crossbow arrows that had just stopped on the city wall started again, and the crossbow arrows like hail flew wildly, and the soldiers besieging the city were a little unbearable, when had they ever seen a giant crossbow with such a rate of fire, and I don't know who shouted: "There is a demon law." ”

"They have demon magic."

In these years, the soldiers were superstitious, seeing that the crossbow arrows on the city wall were shooting too fast, it was beyond their imagination, and they naturally thought that it was a demon law, and it didn't matter if this shouted more than a thousand remnants of the soldiers turned around and ran, at this time the city gate was wide open, and more than a thousand cavalry rushed out, led by no one else, it was Luda, who was known as Lu Da, who was holding dozens of catties of demons in his hands, and shouted: "Capture Tian Leopard, reward money." ”

The more than 1,000 cavalry behind him were even more savage, bows, arrows, and spears were hung up, with fire and thunder bullets in his right hand and fire ropes in his left hand, and he rushed forward with Luda. This group of cavalry was like a madman, seeing the dense enemy army is just a few fire and thunder bullets past, regardless of whether it can be blown up or not, and then rushing forward, Ruda's eyes are directly staring at Tian Leopard's Chinese army banner.

Although there was still some distance, Tian Leopard shuddered for no reason. Qiao Daoqing was not panicked, although Luda was brave, he only had 1,000 cavalry after all, and Tian Leopard also brought more than 2,000 cavalry with him. Qiao Daoqing directly ordered two thousand cavalry and four thousand pikemen to swarm up, even if he couldn't take Jingcheng Xiguan today, it would be a huge victory to take Luda.

However, it is a pity that the strength of Luda is still underestimated, the tactics of this group of cavalry throwing fire and thunder bullets are very ingenious, and these soldiers under Tian Leopard who were bombed did not dare to move forward at all, and more than 1,000 cavalry attacked like the wind, and soon rushed to the vicinity of the Chinese army. Tian Baozhong's army is all elite, and Luda led the troops to rush here to meet resistance, at this time the cavalry changed guys, and the original single fire and thunder bullet was not played, and it was replaced by five bundles of bamboo tubes. Luda led the army to Tian Bao Zhong Jun and threw hundreds of bamboo tubes and retreated, and within a few seconds, the loud noise and thick smoke almost engulfed Tian Bao Zhong Jun.

Tian Leopard was willing to stay, and retreated under the protection of the Chinese army. As soon as Tian Bao retreated, the banner of the Chinese army moved, and the true character of Tian Bao's army was revealed, and he could only fight a good fight, and when he saw that he was defeated, he immediately shouted that tens of thousands of soldiers ran back. The veterans can't stop it if they want to, Qiao Daoqing can't help it, at this time, even the overseer team can't stop the rout, run away.

A spectacle was formed on the battlefield, with more than a thousand cavalry chasing tens of thousands of infantry.

Luda knocked over more than a dozen generals of the Tian Leopard Army one after another, which can be regarded as the evil breath in his heart, and then stopped the team and led the team to swagger back to Jingcheng Xiguan.

Tian Leopard's soldiers retreated ten miles, returned to the camp to count the number of people, and found that there were still a total of about 40,000 people left.
