The deafening loud noise covered all the sounds, Zhu Rong lowered her head and covered her ears tightly, she couldn't hear Zhuge Liang at all. Dumeme,Com read it?

There was really no way, Zhuge Liang pushed her.

was pushed by Zhuge Liang, and Zhu Rong realized that someone was talking to him next to him.

Seeing Zhuge Liang, Zhu Rong covered his ears and asked loudly, "What does Mr. Kong Ming have to say?" ”

The two were very close, and Zhuge Liang heard her shout.

After making a gesture, Zhuge Liang motioned for her to put down the hand covering her ear.

Before he let go of his hands, Zhu Rong's head was stunned by the roaring cannon.

Pointing in the direction of the city gate, Zhuge Liang shouted: "The cannons of the Wei army are all aimed at our city gate, I am sure that they want to blow the city gate open, and the king must send someone to hurry over to block the city gate." ”

"Stuff with something!" Zhu Rong shouted and asked.

"Let the warriors gather there and prepare to fight the enemy." Zhuge Liang replied: "When they blew up the city gate, they wanted to rush in through the city gate. ”

"Good!" Zhu Rong replied, and pulled off the hand that brought the cave master next to him to cover his ears: "You hurry up, bring enough warriors, and block the city gate for me." Once the gates are blasted open by artillery, prepare to meet the enemy who rushes in! ”..

The owner of the cave agreed, stood up and ran quickly.

All the cannons of the Wei army were aimed at the city gates.

The city gate was hit by shells one after another, and with a loud bang, it shattered.

Behind the artillery array, Huang Zhong saw the city gate being blown open from a distance, and shouted: "Order, stop the shelling!" ”

The guards behind him raced to the officer who was directing the cannon fire.

Because the cannon was firing so loudly, the guards could only shout to the officer: "General Huang has an order, stop the shelling immediately!" ”

Given the order to stop the shelling, the officer waved a small flag and conveyed the order.

After a few moments, the cannons stopped.

The muzzle of each cannon was still billowing with smoke.

The breeches of several cannons were even burned reddish due to the large number of shells fired.

The sound of the cannon stopped, and Lu Xun, who was accompanying Cao Shuo, said, "Is General Huang planning to attack the city?" ”

"If he were to attack the city now, he would be too stupid." Pointing to the city wall, Cao Shuo said: "It's just that the city gate has been opened, and it hasn't caused too many losses to the enemy, once our soldiers attack the city, as long as the enemy intercepts it at the city gate, the barbarians on the city head can calmly shoot our army with arrows." ”

"If you can't attack the city, do you have to bombard it again?" Lu Xun asked.

"Not just one round." Cao Shuo pursed his lips: "I did tell him last night that as long as the city gate is blown up, you can launch an attack. But I also said another thing to him, that is, there were so many shells that they could blow up the entire city of Cochin. As the commander-in-chief, if I were Huang Hansheng, I would never let the soldiers die too early, but wait until the barrel cools down, and then there will be another round of shelling! ”

"How many shells do you have to use?" Lu Xun smiled and shook his head: "General Huang doesn't know how to save for the lord. ”

"It's not the shells that I really need to save." Cao Shuo said: "What I want to save is precisely the lives of the soldiers, take them out on the battlefield, and if they want them to go into battle to kill the enemy, I have to find ways to get more soldiers back alive." Since we have artillery and enough shells, why should we care about how many shells are used, and let the soldiers rush up to their deaths in vain? ”

After listening to what Cao Shuo said, Lu Xun probably understood what he meant.

Cao Shuo didn't care how many shells he used, nor how much food he consumed, what he cared about most was how many soldiers would die on the battlefield and never return to their hometown.

The lord has such a mind, follow him to fight in the north and south, who else will not serve his life?

Sure enough, when the cannon fire ended, Huang Zhong did not give the order for the soldiers to attack, but waited until the cannon chamber cooled down and ordered the cannon to fire again.

This time, the target of their shelling was no longer just the city gates, but the barbarians at the city's head.

With a loud bang, cannonballs whistled and flew towards the city.

The barbarians, who had previously hid behind the battlements and would not have been hit by the shells, soon discovered that even if they hid, the shells would still find their heads.

The city of Cochin howled terribly, and the cannonballs fell on the head of the city or flew into the city, and many barbarians were blown to pieces and flesh and pieces.

After a day of shelling, Huang Zhong ordered people to keep an eye on the open Jiaozhi gate, and he came to Cao Shuo.

"The city gate has been opened, why doesn't Hansheng enter the city?" Huang Zhong came to the front, and Cao Shuo asked him.

"Although the gates of the city have been opened, if the soldiers rush to kill them, they will definitely become entangled with the barbarians." Huang Zhong replied: "At that time, as long as the barbarians fire arrows from the city, I don't know how many soldiers of our army will die among them. I plan to bombard it for two more days, and wait until the walls are blown to pieces, and then it will not be too late to attack. ”

"Aren't you afraid that Zhu Rong and Zhuge Liang will run away?" Cao Shuo asked.

"They can't run." Huang Zhong replied: "The barbarians' horses are short, and they can't outrun our cavalry at all, and it is easy to chase them. ”

"Just don't let them run away, I'll use the cannonballs as you like." Cao Shuo said: "Actually, I guess you won't let the soldiers put themselves in danger. If you're the kind of general who doesn't care about the safety of his soldiers, I won't let you lead an army to attack the city. ”

Looking at Jiaozhi City, Cao Shuo continued: "In this battle, I want you to play brilliantly, and use it as a classic example for the generals to learn from in the future." ”

"My lord said so, but he exalted me too much." Huang Zhong replied.

When Cao Shuo and Huang Zhong talked about the siege of the city, they spoke lightly, as if they were talking about something like playing chess at home.

At the head of Jiaozhi City, Zhu Rong and Zhuge Liang were very sad.

The shelling had stopped, the smoke had long since receded, and they could still smell the thick smell of gunsmoke.

Except for the first round of shelling, the target of the first round of shelling was the city gate, and the later shelling of the Wei army was all aimed at the city wall.

Occasionally, a few flew past the city.

The barbarians led by the cave lord waited behind the city gate, ready to meet the Wei army.

Cannonballs falling from the sky fell into the crowd and exploded in the place where the barbarians were most concentrated.

Although some barbarians have experienced the bombardment of shells, they have not come up with a way to dodge them.

The cannonballs fell into the crowd, and countless barbarians were pushed up by the blast of air.

Before they flew, they were alive and kicking barbarian warriors.

After landing, it was either a broken corpse or missing arms and legs, and fell to the ground rolling and wailing.

After the bombardment, the city was in shambles both at the head of the city and not far from the city walls.

The ground and the houses that had been destroyed by the shells were littered with the corpses of the barbarians.
