Chapter 553: Cao Hong is at the head of the city
Huang Tong is boasting about how strong his city is, and how he can keep the people of Ritsukagawa out of the city walls. And the men and horses under his command can still rely on the high walls of the city, and the enemy who will attack in the future will be annihilated under Zhengyang City, comforting Cao Hong without worrying.
But at this moment, everyone in their hall suddenly felt that the ground under their feet was trembling slightly, and at the same time, a faint sound like thunder came from a distance.
Huang Tong has never experienced anything, he doesn't know anything. In this regard, he only showed a slight surprise. And, of course, there was a little unease. Otherwise, there is no more.
But Cao Hong is different. At first, Cao Hong didn't have any special reaction, he didn't think of this slight shaking of the earth. What matters.
But suddenly, he remembered something again, which made his face instantly pale.
Earlier today, when he came out of the barracks, a large rock was thrown near him. The tremor of the earthquake was similar to what it feels now.
At that time, it was Ritsukagawa who used catapults to attack their camp, so now, what is going on?
Is this Ritsukagawa using a flying stone cart to attack Zhengyang City again? Cao Hong thought in his heart.
If so, it's bad. As soon as he thought of this, Cao Hong's face became a little pale. His heart is also beating hard.
Ritsukagawa's stone cart is hugely powerful. It is used to attack the military camp and has great destructive power, so what about it is used to attack the city?
Although this Cao Hong doesn't know it now, he can imagine it, and it will definitely be very bad!
"Everyone, I'll go to the city wall and see if the thieves have broken through our army." Cao Hong was stunned for a moment, but quickly came back to his senses, so he hurriedly said to Huang Tong and the others.
Hearing Cao Hong's words, Huang Tong was dumbfounded, and he said: "General, why panic. The opponent only has thousands of military horses, even if they attack the city, how can they have such a fast speed to break through our army's city? Don't talk too much, general! ”
He thought Cao Hong was too careful, or he thought Cao Hong was too timid.
But Cao Hong listened to his words, but he suddenly raised his foot and kicked Huang Tong, and at the same time scolded in his mouth: "Your grandmother is a bear!" How do you know that this kid on the other side has any powerful magic weapon, and if he wants to enter the city, how can he follow the example of ordinary people? You are so careless, I am afraid that when the thieves come into the city, you will still sleep in your tent! ”
As he spoke, Cao Hong didn't look back, and walked out quickly to inspect the city defense. He was really anxious at this time, and even scolded his daily slang and swearing. You can see the anger in his heart at this time.
Huang Tong suffered Cao Hong's kick, and he didn't dare to let go of a fart. Seeing Cao Hong hurrying out, he also followed. Wherever Cao Hong goes, of course he will also go, and there is no way to disobey it.
The two men hurried to the base of the city wall with a group of men, and the closer they got to the city wall, the more they felt the earth trembling under their feet.
At this time, Huang Tong also felt his heart beating. The tremor he could feel now was no longer as faint as they had felt when they were in the Shuai Mansion just now. Now it almost feels like the earth is shaking.
And the huge banging and banging sound came from time to time. Some ordinary people in the city have begun to panic and are scurrying around.
They were originally a military town, and the people who lived in the city were all military households, what kind of big scene had they not seen?
However, today's situation still makes them feel terrified. Because of what is happening right in front of them. It's something they've never experienced before. This made it impossible for them to keep their composure.
And Cao Hong, Huang Tong and others also had no bottom in their hearts, they trembled, climbed to the top of the city, and saw that on the city wall, the soldiers were also in a mess.
The enemy said that they were coming to attack the city, but they were still hundreds of meters away. In front of the army, more than a dozen catapults were throwing boulders in a constant cycle, and they were smashing fiercely at the head of their city.
Hundreds of pounds of boulders cut arcs in the air, and they fell towards the head of Zhengyang City. Every time there is a collision, there will be a loud noise, causing a tremor like shaking the mountain.
The walls were hit by boulders, and the masonry shattered and sand splattered. If you smash it, it will be a pit, as if you don't need to count it, and the wall will be smashed by the enemy.
And from such a distance, they want to attack, or block the enemy's attack, but it is simply impossible. They simply do not have such long-range assault weapons.
In this way, the enemy has been attacking them, but they are unable to counterattack the enemy, so they can only passively stand on the walls and be beaten. Then how can they fight such a siege battle?
The soldiers defending the city in the city had already become a pot of porridge before, and when they saw Huang Tong Cao Hong and others arrive, if they met a savior, there was a large number of people at that time, and they rushed forward and asked loudly: "General, may I ask how we fight this battle, the enemy army is too far away from me, how can our army destroy the enemy?"
On both sides, the most difficult thing to deal with is the problem of distance. The distance allows them to only be beaten on one side, while the other side can attack at will.
The officers and soldiers defending the city, they are not afraid of fighting, but they can't be beaten all the time like this! Who can stand being someone else's target all the time?
Therefore, when they saw their generals coming, they wanted to come over and ask, hoping that their generals could lead them to find a way to duel with the enemy.
After all, they believe in their own generals. Other people's generals would be able to come up with such ferocious weapons to attack them. Their own generals, can't they?
Huang Tong Cao Hong heard his subordinate Cao Bing asking, and was silent for a long time. If the Ritsukagawa army can have such advanced weapons, they must have them? What are the rules? If they had, would they still be in this city? It's been killed early.
The defenders at the head of the city were full of expectations for them, but looking at their expressions, the soldiers couldn't help but be disappointed. There is nothing the generals can do about this. Then they little soldiers, they're still!
Fight, can't fight, escape, can't escape. They can only stand here, serving others as live targets, and others are training soldiers!
All of a sudden, the Cao soldiers in the city were demoralized.
Outside the city, Ritsukagawa, since they had decided to attack the city, they naturally sent their catapults. Attacking the city with catapults, this is not the first time for them, they have used Li Dao in the past, and they have used it in Jingzhou this time.
This time to attack Zhengyang, they can be said to be familiar with the way, and the process is already quite proficient.
Standing in the distance, they fired stone cannons at the head of Zhengyang for a while, and when they were in operation, suddenly, someone said to them: "Look, general, Cao Hong is at the head of the city!"
