The Qin army's Hongyi cannon roared, and the cannonballs blasted out.

After the whistling sound, a large iron bullet crashed down, smashed a deep pit on the city tower, and then bounced up and crashed into the city gate tower, which was instantly hit hard.

After a burst of earth-shattering movements, Yang Wei, who was so frightened that his legs were weak, struggled to get up from the ground despite his weak legs, and immediately leaned under the battlements of the city gate to cover his body, panting, his eyes widened, and his body was trembling.

He looked at the mess of meat not far from him, and a large number of people with broken arms and legs lying on the castle tower, wailing incessantly.

At this time, it is easy to die, and there is no pain anymore, and this person who does not die with a breath but has a broken body is the most painful.

If they are not treated, they will die slowly, and this long process is the most painful.

However, the guns have no eyes, and the battlefield is merciless.

This is just the first hit shell, followed by the second, third, fourth, fifth.

One after another, the iron bullets smashed the city tower or the city wall, either smashed out a pit and fell to the ground, or smashed into the city tower to bring a large area of bloody rain to the city tower, everywhere there were stumps and broken arms and flesh mud, a puddle of mud, very terrifying.

The local soldiers of Banzhou in the city had never seen such a terrible weapon, and for a while they thought it was the demon method of the Qin army, or the divine thunder from the sky or something, and even some superstitious kneeling on the ground and prostrating, they didn't dare to get up, let alone fight.

Yang Wei is well-informed in the end, knowing that this is just artillery, he doesn't believe in any demon magic and immortal arts, but the Qin army's artillery is too powerful, and he doesn't dare to stand up at all, for fear that he will be stoned to death as soon as he emerges, just like the puddle of meat and mud not far from him.

Even so, he strongly wanted to stand up, he knew his duty, he knew what he should do, and he couldn't lose the back pass, absolutely not, this was something he and Yang Yinglong agreed upon.

It's not that the Sea Dragon Hoard will be finished after the loss, there are still two major levels behind after the loss, and there are countless chain fortresses to hold, the Qin army still has to face a strong defense system, and it will suffer heavy losses, and it is difficult to quickly win these levels.

The problem was that the morale of the Banzhou soldiers, who were already in a desperate situation and trapped in the Sea Dragon Hoard, would be devastated, and they had already had a sense of fear of the Qin army because of their repeated defeats in previous battles, and now it was even more so.

At the moment, they still have the imaginary impregnable Sea Dragon Hoard defense line to rely on, and the longer they hold on, the longer they hold on, the more they can restore their morale, restore everyone's will to fight against a strong enemy and defend their property, and they can also drag down the logistics of the Qin army.

As far as the current situation is concerned, it is unlikely that they will defeat the Qin army head-on, but their only weakness lies in logistics, the logistics of the 160,000 regular army are enough to drag them down, and the longer the sea dragon hoards hold on, the greater the chance of victory.

When the veterans of the Qin army division were tired and had to withdraw the army, it was the victory of Banzhou.

But the premise of everything is that you can't lose the level.

At this sensitive moment, even just losing a checkpoint will bring a devastating blow to the morale of the Banzhou army, which is not high, and the chain reaction will expand the panic indefinitely.

At that time, panic can cause a great rout of the army, so that the Qin army can take the strong checkpoint without blood, and the core of the Banzhou Tusi rule that the Sea Dragon Hoard, which has been painstakingly built for hundreds of years, is likely to be destroyed from then on.

The 700-year-old foundation of the Yang family is about to be destroyed in the hands of their generation!

After you die, what kind of face do you have to go to your ancestors and ancestors!

Yang Wei beat his weak legs in pain, he forcibly dispelled the fear in his heart, supported his body with his hand, pulled out the war knife at his waist with the other hand, and then half-knelt on the ground, panting violently.

At this time, the Qin army was loading ammunition and adjusting its position, and there was a short intermission.

At this moment, Yang Wei shouted frantically.

"Don't forget how the King treats us! The king treats us well! We all rely on the king for food and clothing! Now is the time when the King needs us! Fight back for me! Shoot me! Give me arrows! Kill me!

If the back pass is gone, the king of heaven is finished, and we will all die with it! The officers and soldiers will not let us go! Don't forget what happened to the people who were captured before! Either killed or buried alive! Do you want to be buried alive?!!! ”

This is where the importance of a strong leadership core comes in.

Especially for the product of such an organization as the army, the importance of the leadership core is self-evident, and a strong core can even turn the tide of the war to some extent and give the army back courage.

Just as at this moment, Yang Wei's shouting woke up some people, and they all remembered the gold, silver, jewelry, food, and women that Yang Yinglong brought them, remembered everything they had gotten, and how grateful they were to Yang Yinglong when they ate meat and drank wine.

All of this is only under Yang Yinglong's hands, if the Qin army takes down the Sea Dragon Hoard, even if they are lucky enough not to die and become prisoners of war, how will they be treated?

There is no specific news on the fate of the captured Banshu soldiers, but there are many rumors in the surviving Banshu army, some say that they were killed by a pit, some say that they were collectively beheaded to make a Jingguan, and some say that they were eaten after being killed, and there is no good end anyway.

How can they believe that they will end well when they become prisoners of war?

There is no other way out than to fight to the death, and it is better to fight for a glimmer of life than to be captured.

In this case, a glimmer of life is as trustworthy as a life-saving straw for them, and they will never let go.

So, they endured the fear in their hearts, looked at the Qin army who had not yet launched a charge, and clenched the weapons in their hands, intending to fight for Yang Yinglong and for themselves.

They are all the most trusted soldiers around Yang Yinglong, the best treatment, and they are deeply favored by the Yang family, this kind of army is also the most reliable army in the old era, once it enters a desperate situation, this kind of army is most likely to fight to the last person, and it is also the existence of the most troublesome "dead soldier" of all enemies.

The surviving gunners straightened the fallen guns that were crooked to the side, or hurriedly loaded their ammunition, or hurriedly aimed them in the direction, in short, to launch a counterattack, so that more soldiers dared to fight back.

"Fire the gun!!!"

Yang Wei roared, and a Weiyuan general cannon rang out, boom, a cannonball shot out, although it fell down and exploded without attacking the Qin army, but this is a sign, marking the beginning of the counterattack on the city wall.
