The smoke of the war has not yet dissipated, and there are still bloody formations outside the city walls. Although the casualties of the Tang army made Chen Fei feel heartache, they were not very heavy, those wounded soldiers were replaced by him from the front line of the battlefield and retreated to the second line, as for those soldiers who died in battle, he made a heavy promise in front of him to stabilize the morale of the army.

I don't know how long I will be besieged, but at this time, I must pacify the soldiers and the people in the city.

Fortunately, the brave performance of the Tang army reassured Baixin in the city, and they believed that the combat strength of the Tang army, there were only 50,000 enemies outside the city, and they could completely withstand the current situation.

The people don't think so much, and they feel relieved and happy when they see the victory in front of them. And these people are simple and kind.

The Tang army fought in front, and many of them organized themselves and took on the logistics of the Tang army. For example, daily cooking, taking care of the wounded, and many other chores.

War has shortened the distance between the military and the people, and only when we share hardships is the time to test cohesion the most.

Chen Fei came to the wounded barracks and couldn't help nodding secretly when he saw this scene.

On the other side, Cheng Chumo deployed on the city wall, the enemy launched an attack again, maybe there will be a night attack at night, after suffering a loss last time, Cheng Chumo couldn't help but be more careful, to avoid being attacked by the enemy again, and suffer a dark loss.

Luckily, however, the Western Regions Coalition also seemed to be tired and did not launch a sneak attack tonight.

Early the next morning, Cao Ming got up early, took out some of the craftsmen for Chen Fei, and took away some of the craftsmen, and went to make a large stone throwing machine according to Chen Fei's instructions.

Generally speaking, the catapult is used for engineering, and the effect is similar to that of a cannon, but the range and power are slightly inferior, and it cannot adjust the orientation with the same accuracy as a cannon.

But now the power of the cannon to defend the city is limited, and the loading speed is too slow, in a sense, it is not as good as the stone thrower, not to mention that there are materials for assembling the stone thrower in the arsenal in Dunhuang City, so Chen Fei decided to move this weapon out.

There is also an even more important reason: you can get the thunderbolt out with a stone thrower!

When a soldier throws a thunderbolt, it is only a range of fifty or sixty meters at most, but the stone thrower is different, this throw, at least three or four hundred meters away, is much longer than the range of a bow and arrow.

With such a range of projectile Thunderbolt Fire, it's exciting to think about! Chen Fei rubbed his fists and went to work early in the morning with the craftsmen.

In the hut with tight handles, Chen Fei held a piece of weighing in one hand, and quickly twisted some materials into the weighing with the other hand.

He has long been familiar with gunpowder, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a grandmaster-level figure. Soon, a barrel of gunpowder was configured in his hands. Barrels are then handed over to outside craftsmen to make thunderbolts.

Of course, the conditions are limited, and this place can only be filled with clay pots, and there is no iron wrapping.

Just as Chen Fei was configuring the second barrel of gunpowder, a loud bang outside the city wall interrupted his contribution.

"What happened?" Chen Fei frowned and walked outside to ask.

The soldiers guarding outside also looked at each other without knowing what was happening.

However, the sound of fighting gradually came from the city wall, and several people immediately knew that most of the enemy was attacking the city again.

Sure enough, a moment later, a soldier hurriedly ran over, saluted Chen Feifei and said: "My lord, the enemy army is attacking the city again, and the general will tell the last general that the city wall is safe, and please concentrate on the deployment of thunderbolts, and leave the defense to him." ”

Chen Fei nodded, it was absolutely no problem to hand over the city defense to Cheng Chumo, waved his hand to let the soldiers leave, and he turned around and quickened his pace to approach the house, locked the door and concentrated on the research and development of gunpowder.

The battle outside the walls lasted about three hours, from morning to afternoon, when both sides were exhausted before withdrawing.

Although the enemy withdrew, Cheng Chumo's face gradually became difficult to see.

Because this time the enemy attacked too easily, and the retreat was too casual, it didn't look like he was going to attack the city desperately. Even if the two sides fought for three hours today, it was not as good as fighting for one hour yesterday and the casualties were greater!

Cheng Chumo was naturally not unhappy because the casualties were not large enough, but he also had the same premonition as Chen Fei, and he had a premonition that the other party seemed to really have a conspiracy, and the two-day war was not so much a siege as a temptation, a test of Dunhuang's reality!

After the end of the war, Cheng Chumo handed over all the post-war things to Fan Jiang, and found Chen Fei alone, and the two discussed for a long time and decided to try an adventurous plan!

Cheng summoned the special forces, while Chen Fei continued to deploy gunpowder in the makeshift gunpowder room. The soldiers in the city are busy shuttling, clearing the battlefield and actively preparing for the next stop.

No matter how much fire was raging outside the city, at least the city they guarded was peaceful.

At dusk, a team of scouts sent out to communicate returned, bringing with them bad news.

The news of the siege of Dunhuang has been transmitted, but none of the surrounding cities are willing to risk sending troops to support, and they are just prepared for their own defenses.

Of course, this is also a normal situation, and they don't expect the people of these cities to send troops to rescue them, and it would be good to protect themselves.

When the sun was setting and the heavens and the earth were about to fall into complete darkness, another team of scouts returned, but these scouts protected a seriously injured scout.

The scout was covered in blood, but fortunately, his consciousness was still quite clear, and he brought back a very important news: the Western Regions Coalition Army, there are more than 100,000 people, and it is expected to kill Dunhuang tonight or tomorrow!

As soon as the news came out, all the generals in the city were not calm. Not only is it not calm, but it is almost about to jump!

Nima, how many people are there in the Western Regions? Gathered 200,000 troops to attack? Are they taking viagra or are they just right? Is it possible to have red eyes?

When Chen Fei heard the news, he happened to be tired for a day, and while eating, he almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of food when he heard the words.

“tf？” Chen Fei burst into a foul English sentence in a hurry, and immediately corrected it: "What's the situation?" Who's coming from the news? I'm going to see him! ”

Led by the soldiers, the group of generals hurried and saw the soldiers who had returned from delivering the news.

The soldier was seriously wounded by three arrows in his back, and the military doctor was pulling out arrows to heal his wounds. But the soldier was strong, and at the moment he was still conscious.

Because of the stakes, everyone had to ask the soldiers at this moment. The soldier passed on what he had seen, and all of them looked solemn, and things seemed worse than they had imagined!

"Got it, you brought back an important piece of news, make a great contribution, and have a good rest." After Chen Fei arranged for the military doctor to treat him, he led the generals to leave in a hurry, a strong enemy was coming, and they had to formulate a battle plan.

The next few days will not be as petty as today! ()
