Chapter 639: Thunderbolt Debuts
Under the city wall, the dense figure of the enemy is already less than 100 meters away from the city, and standing on the city wall, you can even see the hideous face of the enemy below.
Even though the artillery used by the Tang army at the beginning really surprised the enemy, the war had just begun, and the enemy's death toll was only hundreds, so how could it be so easy to retreat?
What's more, Chen Fei's current research and development cannon is not the kind that will explode after landing with gunpowder in later generations, he doesn't have that technology yet, the current cannon is loaded with solid bullets, and the siege is indeed infinitely powerful, but the effect of defending the city is still a little worse, a cannonball will kill several people at most, and the firing interval of a cannon is relatively long, so the damage caused is limited. The enemy was outnumbered and did not care at all about this casualties.
Seeing that the enemy had already entered the firing range, Cheng Chumo shouted with red eyes: "Grandma's! Shoot the arrows to Lao Tzu! Shoot this batch of crumbs! ”
The soldiers immediately switched to their bows and arrows, and the bows were fully drawn, sending a rain of arrows down below.
Thousands of arrows were fired in a dense manner, the scene was indeed very spectacular, and the soldiers who were sprinting below were not in the mood to appreciate this spectacle, in the face of the dense rain of arrows, they raised the wooden shields in their hands in a panic, and held their heads in the other hand, covering their heads and rushing forward.
Even so, many enemy soldiers were shot by arrows and fell to the ground, and even worse, they were shot into a sieve by the rain of arrows.
"All soldiers obey! Keep firing the arrows! All the strong men who were recruited took their weapons, stood by the soldiers, and lifted stones to throw them down for me! If an enemy rushes up, immediately chop them up for Lao Tzu! ”
The soldiers responded loudly and immediately carried out defensive warfare according to Cheng Chumo's deployment. Chen Fei nodded slightly when he saw this scene, Cheng Chu was silent and worthy of being a general, he could not change his voice and command calmly in the face of a strong enemy, this innate temperament could not be learned by others. At least his calf is still a little spinning now......
The enemy troops under the city were not willing to be beaten passively in the face of the Tang army's arrow rain attack, and they immediately organized archers to fire arrows at the city wall to cover the soldiers rushing below.
The Tang army relied on the city wall to dodge a lot of arrows, but there were still many soldiers who were injured by arrows, and even Chen Fei was almost shot by an arrow, but fortunately, Yin Ping reacted quickly and cut off a bow and arrow shot at Chen Fei with a knife.
There were wounds on both sides, there were deaths on both sides, and the war had just begun, and it was gradually becoming bloody.
"! Don't hide the thunderbolts! Hudi! Chen Fei shouted.
"Here!" Hu Di quickly came to Chen Fei's side.
"You go and get the thunderbolts, let the brothers of the special forces force divide into three groups, a group of 100 people, go to the three city walls, each take ten thunderbolts, and throw his grandmother's to me!"
"Yes!" Hu Di licked his lips excitedly and quickly passed Chen Fei's order to the special forces soldiers.
In the end, it was the specially trained soldiers who were very efficient in grouping up the moment they received the order, and took the thunderbolts and scattered to the various city walls.
The special forces soldiers held their shields to resist the arrows flying up, and the team of 100 people quickly dispersed to the city wall, then leaned against the city wall, put down the shield in their hands, lit the torch with flint, and then lit the thunderbolt fire with the torch, and then quickly threw it under the city wall.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Hundreds, if not thousands, of thunderbolts exploded in the enemy's ranks, and the walls shook with such a loud noise.
For a moment, both the Tang army on the city wall and the enemy who was attacking the city below were all stunned.
Because the movement was so big, huge sparks and noises came out of the explosion, and even the Tang army that had originally harvested on the city wall had never seen such an amazing movement, not to mention the Western Regions Alliance forces below. It was directly blown up!
Everyone looked at the sparks rising in front of the city in a daze, and the scorched stumps that had been submerged and swept away by cremation, and their eyes unconsciously showed a look of horror.
After the Tang army was frightened, it was cheering all day long, and the powerful weapons gave them hope to hold the city, while the coalition forces attacking underground were probably desperate!
It's horrible! I didn't know what was going on, the robe in front of me was instantly torn apart by sparks and loud noises, and it became an unrecognizable corpse, and the scene in front of me was enough to be called a terrible scene in the world, only in the legendary hell would such a terrifying scene appear.
The soldiers are terrified! They may not be afraid of the bows and arrows of the Tang army, nor are they afraid of the swords and guns of the Tang army. But in the face of this terrifying unknown force, it is indeed completely timid.
No one knows how to resist it, and maybe they can't resist it at all! The invincible forces easily broke the psychological defenses of these soldiers.
The panic and uneasiness of the era of cold weapons when encountering hot weapons was finally completely reflected in the faces of these soldiers, and before they could react next, another wave of thunderbolts had already been thrown down on their heads and faces.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ......”
Another deafening sound, mixed with the miserable shouts of the Western Regions coalition army, the soldiers under the city finally collapsed completely, and the army of tens of thousands of people cried and shouted for their fathers and mothers and retreated like a tide.
Chen Fei and Cheng Chumo breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this scene, the enemy... Finally retreated!
The city wall suddenly erupted into a burst of cheers that were even more enthusiastic than before, and this harvest battle, the enemy left more than a thousand corpses and fled before they could touch their own city walls, which was enough to be called a great victory.
The soldiers kept waving the banner of Datang and chanting "Datang Wansheng!" "The voice resounded in the sky!
The Tang army cheered, but the morale of the allied forces in Tibet and the Western Regions was so low that many timid soldiers even knelt on the ground and prayed silently, begging the gods not to come down on such a terrible thing to punish him.
The generals who led the troops naturally had their noses crooked.
They have an army of 80,000! An army of 80,000 was divided into three directions to besiege a city with less than 10,000 defenders, and retreated without even touching the city walls?
Not only that, but it also lost the lives of nearly 2,000 soldiers, and the rest of the soldiers lost their fighting spirit at all, and they did not have the confidence to pick up weapons to confront the Tang Army in a short period of time.
Defeated! A complete defeat! An unprecedented defeat!
Several generals gathered in the camp, and the atmosphere was indescribably dull!
Suddenly, the curtain of the tent was pushed open, and several generals with plateau red faces walked in. The person at the head is the leader of the Tibetan army this time - Bradgon!
Bradgon walked into the tent angrily, his face was quite ugly, met everyone's eyes, went straight to the front table, slapped the table fiercely, and shouted at the people in the tent: "Our Lady has deceived us! We're going to retreat! ”
