447 Can you still hold on?

Xiangyang, a lonely city, resisted the Mengyuan for six years, and was finally broken by Kublai Khan's army in the indiscriminate bombardment of the return artillery.

And such a strong city can't help but be bombed back, can a small city like Luyang withstand it?

You must know that the wars of later generations, whether it is attack or city defense, will be stronger than at this time. The toughness of the Xiangyang City Wall may be several times that of the Luyang City Wall!

And Xiangyang can't withstand the heavy blow of the return artillery, so what is Luyang?

However, although the Huihui cannon is called a cannon, the ancient cannon is not actually a cannon, but only a stone cannon. That is, to throw huge stones out with machinery and let them blast through the enemy's walls.

For the annotation of the return cannon, there has always been only Liao Liao's words in history, such as "the machine starts, the sound shocks the world, and all the hits are destroyed, and they are seven feet into the ground". But that's enough to say a lot about how powerful it is.

Seven feet into the ground, all the blows are destroyed, such a destructive power, in the face of the current city defense force, is enough for them to do everything they want.

The return cannon is an improved trebuchet with better performance, greater power and simpler operation. Since Ritsu Kagawa had already guessed that their trip might not go smoothly this time, then, of course, he would have some preparation for this.

The army, he has already brought it out, is it just to protect the emperor with the army? Ritsukagawa had already thought that when necessary, he would use this to establish authority on those who were disrespectful to them.

And Zhang Chi and Li Shun undoubtedly triggered his bottom line, Luyang is the first stop of Emperor Xian and his trip to the south of the Yangtze River for several months, if this place can stop them, then in the future, do they want to go further?

Therefore, it is imperative to attack the city. They can't let others think they're bullying.

Several improved trebuchets, that is, return cannons, were pushed in front of Luyang City, and Zhang Chi and Li Shun in the city didn't know what it was. It's just that seeing Ritsukagawa in the formation has such a move, which makes them very uneasy. What the hell is the other party trying to do?

"Load the artillery, siege the city." Facing the city in front of him, He Cai calmly issued an order. After the new trebuchets were built, why haven't you seen the power of their actual combat! Will it really have the power that adults say it will be? He Cai also wanted to witness it with his own eyes.

As a soldier, in fact, everyone has such a murderous and cruel heart in their hearts.

And this time the trebuchet was also a bit troublesome, first of all, they had to pull down the several feet long catapult arm and fix it. A new trebuchet with a multi-ton gravity hammer already installed at one end. This is to make the hair stone more powerful.

But in this way, it will make it more difficult to load the stones, and it will take a lot of effort to pull the stone throwing arm down. However, all difficulties could not be difficult for the industrious and brave ancient people. When there are difficulties, people will want to rise to the occasion.

Pulling down the arm with a winch, loading hundreds of catties of giant stone bullets, He Cai suddenly waved the flag and shouted loudly: "Release!"

As soon as the operating soldier heard this order, he immediately lifted the ban on the power arm. I heard "boom", and in the huge roar, several heavy stone bullets were smashed towards the city of Luyang.

Knock Knock......

The bullet hit the city wall, and the power was incomparable, and the defenders on the city only felt that the entire city seemed to be trembling under the attack of these big stone bullets. This makes many people's hearts, for a moment, feel their hearts pounding, and soon, they are soft under their feet.

What kind of siege weapon is this, and how does it seem to be a god descending from heaven? They had never seen such a siege weapon, and they had never felt such a powerful attack. The enemy is still hundreds of meters away, how did these huge stones be thrown by them?

Moreover, these stone bullets are not just thrown at the city wall, some of them will also fly up the city tower and smash into the crowd. And every Chinese person will bring a piece of blood. The middle one is even with belt bones, and flesh and blood are flying. It's so miserable that it's chilling.

After such a powerful attack for the first time, the defenders of the city were almost stunned.

Zhang Chi didn't expect Ritsu Xiangchuan to come to such a hand, he thought that the other party would send someone to attack the city! But who knows, the other party is just using such a god-like weapon to attack them from a distance. This really took him by surprise.

And the power of this kind of attack was so great that he had never seen it in his life, a bullet flew, the ground shook, and the wall was also a burst of mud and rock. If it goes on like this, it won't be long before his city will be destroyed by the other party.

After withstanding a few shots, Zhang Chi already felt a burst of heartbeat, and his whole body trembled.

When the day back to bombard Xiangyang, the defenders "crossed the city and surrendered", and there were countless people. The attack power of the return cannon is too great, and the first thing it destroys is not the fortifications of the fighting side, but the hearts and minds of the people.

The attack power of this heavy artillery is too strong, and everyone can't bear it, so surrender has become a very logical thing.

"Put!"

Boom......

Knock Knock......

"Put!"

Boom......

Knock Knock......

The offensive was still continuous, and He Cai's command was calm and composed. They won't stop dropping bombs until they don't surrender, or until the city has been breached by them.

And seeing the new type of stone bullet, it is really a huge attack power and destructive power, and He Cai's heart is also excited. In his heart, he likes to see such scenes.

Seeing that their own attack is so unmatchable, the enemy of the other party, in the face of their attack, can only tremble, and have no power to fight back, this is in the heart of every soldier, it will feel super sour!

Thundered......

Whoa......

Under a series of high-intensity stone bullet attacks, a corner of Luyang City suddenly made a huge strange sound, and then it collapsed with a bang. At this time, the city wall was really not as strong as the city wall of later generations.

In fact, all defenses and offenses are gradually improved and advanced in battle. Without such a powerful destructive attack, the defense did not know how to build to withstand this level of attack.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the city of Luyang was obviously not strong enough to withstand the continuous attacks of the return artillery. After being heavily bombarded by the return cannon for a while, it fell weakly.

Seeing that such a situation had already appeared on the city wall of Luyang, Ritsu Xiangchuan waved his hand and asked He Cai to temporarily stop the attack, and then he urged him to step forward and stood in front of the city of Luyang City.
