"Four, five, six ready, one, two, three launch!"

The shouts of the shooters came from the artillery position continuously, these words have been repeated many times, Yuan Yun now feels a little drowsy, and even a little annoyed, a good ancient siege battle, now because of the appearance of artillery, has become a very boring existence.

At first, there was still some passion, and he couldn't help himself by the loud sound of the cannon, but after dozens of cannons, Yuan Yun's excitement was gone, he leaned on his recliner at the moment, and even held up a parasol on the top of his head, just very bored to watch the fire on the head of the Ye city wall, and then a group of soldiers like ants began to run around.

"Boring!"

Yuan Yun made a statement, and then turned over with difficulty, he suddenly found that no matter what posture he maintained, he would be very uncomfortable, because the black armor on his body was too much of a hindrance.

"Lord, the marshal called you over." With Xiao Liu's report, Yuan Yun reluctantly raised his head, handed the teapot in his hand to Shi Shen, and then slowly stood up from the recliner.

Before leaving, Yuan Yun looked back at the walls of Yecheng again, several places had collapsed, explosions and fires were spreading, and the situation there was like purgatory on earth.

Cao Ang rode on horseback from beginning to end, and his body did not move at all, he had a very conscious desire to be a handsome, which even Yuan Yunxue could not do in his lifetime, so he completely gave up treatment, how comfortable he was, if he was a handsome, he would make himself uncomfortable, he would not do it if he was killed, and from the first day he crossed over to this era, he was very resistant to this profession.

When Cao Ang saw Yuan Yun approaching, he immediately asked suspiciously: "Why doesn't Brother Yun ride a horse, this is above the battle array, and you should be faster if you have a chance." ”

Yuan Yun heard Cao Ang say this, and unconsciously glanced at Yecheng in the distance, where the hell is this like a battle array, the other party is just passively beaten, as for what if, this is even more, Yecheng guards will make this place a single inch of grass, a horse and a flat river, I really don't know how this will happen?

Arching his hand, Yuan Yun casually said: "I commanded the artillery position just now, but I didn't have time to get on the horse, so I hurried over, I don't know what the marshal called me to come to?" ”

Cao Ang nodded, although he knew that Yuan Yun was talking nonsense, he didn't bother to investigate, he directly pointed in the direction of Yecheng, and then said: "Why did Brother Yun only bomb the city walls, but those southern city gates were intact, the most important thing for us is to blow up the enemy's gates, so that we can drive straight into the city, don't you remember Brother Yun?" ”

After speaking, Cao Ang didn't wait for Yuan Yun to answer, he had already jumped off the horse, and then came to his side and whispered: "I know that you don't want to watch the brothers of the Gunpowder Army risk the charge, but we are fighting now, how can we only rely on artillery to bomb all the way, this is too slow, you must know that we are now deep in the enemy territory, time is the most important thing for us." ”

Yuan Yun sighed secretly, he felt that it was indeed very considerate to have Cao Ang as a brother, this thing was almost a roundworm in his stomach, he could guess anything he wanted, it was simply unfortunate, unlucky.

Arching his hand again, Yuan Yuncai nodded and said, "What the marshal said is that I will go back and order it here, and then I will start bombing the city gate." ”

Cao Ang shook his hand and said, "No need, Brother Yun is staying by Ben Shuai's side, I have already sent someone over to convey it, and then I will wait to see a good show." ”

Well, the military power has been deprived, Cao Ang seems to be very resolute in doing this kind of thing, once his generals make a wrong judgment on the war, he will take over immediately, almost without giving people a chance to argue, but this is okay, he didn't want to command any army in the first place, someone does it for him, it's really hello, I'm good, everyone.

Ordered Shi Shen to bring his old mare to him, Yuan Yun planned to stay by Cao Ang's side like this, anyway, it would be boring, it would be boring here, which boring is not boring.

The city wall to the south of Yecheng is no longer visible, and the collapse is everywhere, and the tall stone wall that the defenders are proud of is now an existence that they desperately want to stay away from.

Cao Ang didn't have to wait long, and when the gate south of Yecheng was completely destroyed, 5,000 Gunpowder Army soldiers began to launch a frontal assault.

The defenders looked quite stubborn, even though the collapsing walls forced them into the city, but at this moment they stood resolutely in the wreckage, the weapons in their hands represented their determination, and no one seemed to choose to flee.

The flying arrows rained down on the gunpowder army's body, and the armor kept tinking, and occasionally a few unlucky ones were pierced by arrows through the shields and inserted into the gaps in the armor, but this could not stop the determination of this group of professional soldiers to kill, and they still lined up in a phalanx to keep moving forward.

The volley of steel crossbows quickly made the enemy dare not come forward, and the gunpowder army in front took this opportunity to immediately combine the steel shields they had brought, and in a short time a strong defensive line was established.

"Why didn't they charge? It's all in front of you! A defender of Yecheng asked his team.

The team was also confused, they had already rushed to the front, according to the practice of siege in the past, this time should be the time for hand-to-hand combat, but the other party stopped, and built a metal wall, which is indeed too weird.

Suddenly, the sound of wheels interrupted the team's thoughts, and then he saw several waterwheels as high as a mountain, and the large pipes of the spouts were still sprinkling clear water at them, and all of them had a pungent smell, and a few soldiers even said that it smelled good.

In an instant, as the Gunpowder Army soldiers fired rockets, these good-smelling clear water immediately turned into a fire, even if they were poured with water, they still could not be extinguished.

And these burning fires will also emit thick black smoke, and people will immediately start coughing in the place where the black smoke is enveloped, until they cough up all the blood and water in their lungs, and they still can't stop.

When the team was looking at the gunpowder army position again, they only saw the indifferent eyes of the other party, they just watched, and then waited for the fire to gradually extinguish, and then they would mend the defenders who were not yet dead one by one, and the attack was very neat, and there was no humanity at all.

"Devil!" As the team was highlighting the last two words, he felt a chill in his heart, and a beautiful sword shining with silver light penetrated deep into his heart.

Yuan Yun had been watching from the rear, and at this moment, the reinforcements from the east and west cities had arrived, and it was a very coincidence that they came, because the sprinkler ran out of fuel and was being pushed back, when a new enemy appeared.

The enemy was fierce, and they seemed to have gained experience, and it would be very disadvantageous for them to continue the confrontation, so they arrived and immediately began to attack.

The Gunpowder Army's steel combined shield blocked most of the enemy's charges, but there was always a place for a break, so hand-to-hand combat was inevitable from time to time, but fortunately, your own equipment was too much stronger than the enemy, and if you couldn't stab me with a knife, then you would definitely die.

The 6,000 defenders turned into 10,000, then 20,000, then 30,000, and almost all of the defenders began to rush to the southern city in a frenzy.

"The enemy is already several times ours, why don't you send reinforcements?" Shi Shen obviously couldn't stand it anymore, so he began to question Yuan Yun regardless of his identity.

Yuan Yun didn't blame Shi Shen, after all, many gunpowder army soldiers were his friends, and now the five thousand gunpowder army had been surrounded by the enemy in the big circle established by the steel shield, relying on the excellent equipment to support it.

"Where are there any reinforcements to send? You look at the camp in our rear, the remaining 10,000 gunpowder army brothers should be on General Zhang Liao's side at this moment, the position we really want to attack the city is actually the West City Gate, so the five thousand brothers at the south gate are the bait, the longer they hold on, the faster General Zhang Liao's side can attack the city, and then the inside and outside should be combined to wipe out all the defenders at the south gate. ”

Yuan Yun said a lot, these strategies that have been formulated for a long time have been implemented very well for now, but looking at the soldiers of the Powder Army who are constantly falling at the south gate, he is not happy at all.

Gradually, more and more defenders were attracted to it, because the defenders knew very well that if they did not defend the south gate, they would immediately be attacked by the gunpowder army into the city, thinking that if the weapons of destruction they had in their hands were deployed in the city, Yecheng would immediately become a ruin.

Zhang Liao finally began to act, and the gunpowder army withstood the enemy's arrow rain, and quickly planted explosives at the west gate, and when Yuan Yun heard the huge explosion sound, his heart was calmer.

Soon, the huge defenders of the south gate began to shrink, and then slowly retreated towards the inner city, they finally realized that something was wrong, and the gunpowder army in the west city was even more, after 15,000 people poured in, they would soon come to the south gate, and finally formed a siege trend, they would lose all opportunities if they did not retreat to the inner city.

"Yin Kui is worthy of some ability, knowing that as soon as the West Gate is broken, there will be no need to defend the outer city, but he still has one step less."

After Cao Ang finished speaking, his eyes immediately turned to the east, where a large amount of dust had been raised, and this dust moved extremely fast, and it rushed into the battle group at the south gate.

Cao Zhen has finally arrived.

The battle is basically a foregone conclusion, and now the tiger and leopard cavalry have also joined the battle, and the defenders have no chance to retreat even if they want to, they can only resist stubbornly under the dilapidated city wall of the south gate, once they retreat at this time, Cao Zhen will definitely make them regret Sansheng, because the cavalry pursues the infantry, it is as easy as killing a pig.

When he saw the gunpowder army pouring out of the city, Yuan Yun sighed, Zhang Liao finally arrived, and now it was the defenders who were surrounded, and under the attack from three sides, this was just another massacre.

Cao Ang finally let out a breath at this time, and now that the overall situation has been decided, he immediately felt a lot more relaxed on his shoulders, and Yecheng finally won it.

"What do you do with these people then?" After Yuan Yun asked, he pointed in the direction of Yecheng, there are still more than 100,000 people in the huge city, which will be another problem.

Cao Ang smiled when he heard this, and said, "Brother Yun can come up with a way to attack the city, can't he think of the end after the victory?" ”

Yuan Yun smiled bitterly and said: "I just didn't expect it to be so miserable, this time it was almost all hand-to-hand combat, and there were definitely not a few casualties among our brothers, just looking at the desperate appearance of the Yecheng defenders, I probably guessed it." ”

Cao Ang nodded and said, "These defenders are like this, I'm afraid that the people in the city will not be able to subdue them, so I can only ...... if I think about it."

"Don't, your father has done this kind of thing once, but it has been criticized by people now, I will still count on the north to sell food to Luoyang in the future, if we slaughter the city, it is estimated that the northern clan will hate us for a long time, this is tantamount to cutting off our hands and feet, absolutely not." Yuan Yun interrupted Cao Ang's words, because if he really said it, it would be a military order, and there was no way to change it.

Cao Ang thought for a moment, and immediately nodded: "That's true, Ben Shuai is thinking short-sightedly, but the people of Yecheng must have their hearts set on the defenders, so they must find a way to deal with it." ”

Yuan Yun snorted and replied: "Kill a hundred people, aren't there many nobles living in Yecheng......"
