In this day and age, this phenomenon is truly supernatural and shocks everyone.

"What's going on?"

Li Zhong yelled as hard as he could.

Li Yun's reaction was fast, and he instantly remembered: "General, this is very likely to be the red-clothed cannon, quickly let the soldiers strictly guard their posts, don't retreat, and wait for the enemy to rush up." ”

However, before Li Zhong could shout, the soldiers in the city had already begun to retreat, they were also elite soldiers, but in the face of such an attack, they could not do anything.

To stay is to die!

In the face of death, there is no one who is not afraid.

"Resist it for me, don't retreat!" Li Zhong held his sword and shouted frantically on the city wall.

Suddenly, a cannonball exploded around Li Zhong, and a piece of iron ejected from the place of the explosion, plunging deeply into his wrist and knocking his long sword away.

Thrilling!

didn't care about shouting, Li Zhong quickly pushed away and retreated to the city; Such a fierce attack is impossible to hold on.

"General, are you alright?"

Li Zhong waved his hand: "It's okay, I'm fine..." ”

Looking at the soldiers who had retreated, Li Zhong said: "Listen, when the enemy's artillery stops, you all rush up for me, you must hold on, and you can't let them climb up." ”

"Did you hear that?"

The soldiers looked bald and sighed, "I heard you..." ”

"What are you doing? Be louder! Do you hear that? ”

Li Zhong roared angrily.

"I heard you!"

The soldiers shouted loudly this time, but from their looks, it was clear that they were frightened.

..........

Under the city, after a burst of fierce bombardment, Zheng Feng rode out on horseback: "Order, siege troops, advance!" ”

Whew!!

The three phalanxes advanced at the same time, and the battlefield resounded with the sound of crackling armor clashing against each other, as well as the sound of weapons and shields striking each other.

Neat!

A real elite!

After slowly advancing five hundred meters. The soldiers of the three phalanxes suddenly increased their speed and began to run wildly, and all the siege equipment was also advancing rapidly.

Of course, the ladder was with the soldiers. Because without the ladder, the soldiers would not have been able to storm the city even if they rushed to the front.

.......

In the Central Military Department, Wang Xu smiled: "The effect of this red-clothed cannon is really powerful, I believe that with just one battle, you can completely capture the city!" ”

"It's just a pity. We don't have a lot of artillery, and if there are a few thousand, I'll just blow the gates open!" ”

Han Shushu also smiled: "Yes, the current city gates have been specially reinforced, at least three layers, and there are many reinforcement measures, we want to use this secret weapon to blow up, it is more and more difficult." ”

Even if it's a redcoat cannon, it's not good!

Wang Xu nodded, agreeing with Han Shuhua's point of view; The so-called secret weapons and tricks. You can only use it once, and when you take it out a second time, it's not a surprise, because the enemy already has a plan to deal with it.

At this moment, Wang Xu had an idea, if he researched a weapon more powerful than the red-coated cannon in the future, he must not take it out and use it early, just like the battle of Xipingguan, which exposed the strength of the Holy Dynasty early, although it can deter the country. But at the same time, he also exposed his own strength and gave others the opportunity to prepare.

"Your Majesty, look, the enemy is back and holding out." Han Shushu pointed to the distance and said.

Wang Xu hurriedly picked up the telescope in his hand and watched.

"Who told the artillery battalion to stop, herald. Let them continue to bomb and cover the siege troops! Wang Xu shouted.

Hearing this, Han Shushu said: "Your Majesty, our soldiers will rush up immediately, if the cannon fire does not stop, it will hurt our people." ”

Wang Xu took a deep breath. Or is this redcoat cannon of poor quality, not advanced, inferior to modern mortars, and unable to determine the exact distance.

If it's a mortar, then you can hit it wherever you want, and this red-coated cannon, the difference is too big, it can only be adjusted up, left, right, and down, and the distance is at least ten meters away.

"Forget it, you can break through it without artillery, I believe Zheng Feng will not let me down."

As soon as Wang Xu finished speaking, Han Shushu nodded with deep sympathy.

.......

In the city, many of the equipment used to defend the city have been smashed by cannons, and even the boiling oil, boulders, rolling wood, etc., which were prepared before, have been blown everywhere, and they cannot be used at all.

How is the city to be defended without the equipment to defend it?

"Brothers, shoot arrows quickly, and don't let them come up."

Arrows rained down, and a large number of soldiers who were rushing towards the city fell, but in the next second, something that made them desperate appeared, only to see that among Wang Xu's siege troops, many soldiers were holding a strong crossbow in their hands, aiming at the head of the city.

The crossbow shot was unusually ferocious, and it shot far away, and under this design, the casualties on the city were greater than those under the city just now, no less than the attack of the red-coated cannons.

At this brief pause, ladders climbed the city, and then countless soldiers climbed the rocks...

While the soldiers are climbing, there are swords and shields to cover below, and there are archers to sneak attack, the whole team is orderly and very well-organized, and it is very well-behaved, and you can see at a glance that this is a well-trained elite soldier!

"Hold it all up."

At this time, Li Zhong was left alone, Li Yun had already entered the city, it was so dangerous here, he really couldn't take it with him as a civil official.

The other generals were also quiet, but under Li Zhong's strong persecution, they had to muster up the courage to defend the city.

Suddenly, a soldier climbed up to the top of the city, and when Li Zhong saw it, he immediately ran over, and with a wave of his long knife, the soldier rolled down the city, fell down the city wall, and was broken to pieces.

At this time, the siege tower and other equipment had also arrived, as well as a three-bow bed crossbow, which was placed three hundred meters below the city to accurately shoot at the enemy on the city.

This three-bow bed crossbow is different from the red-coated cannon, on top of the three-bow bed crossbow, there are many positions, where the bow and arrow are pulled to how many meters, and then there is a crosshairs when shooting, so the power and effect of the three-bow bed crossbow is greater than that of the red-coated cannon.

As soon as the siege tower arrived, Li Zhong immediately transferred archers.

"Listen, when the enemy comes from the siege tower, you will shoot me hard, and don't let them come, or we will all die!"

"No."

Ten minutes later, the siege tower was completely erected, and the soldiers climbed the rock one by one, and finally reached the top floor, ready to strengthen the city wall.

There were only three meters between the siege tower and the city wall, and there was a pontoon bridge in the middle, and the soldiers needed to cross this three meters distance.

"Brethren, rush."

With a loud roar from a centurion, more than a dozen soldiers began to charge forward violently, but at this time, countless arrows and feathers were shot from the opposite side, and more than a dozen soldiers all fell to the ground and died, none of them were spared.

"Haha, it's okay to shoot like this!" Li Zhong laughed on the side.

There were archers to deal with siege towers, and he was relieved.

But then, something drove him crazy, and he saw that the archers who were also suspicious when they stepped on the project, shot in the direction where he was.

Whoosh...

Burst!

The surrounding archers fell one by one, and after Li Zhong resisted twice with his knife, he was also hit by an arrow in his right leg, but this time, he retreated back with the support of his own handwriting.

"Brothers, rush."

On the siege tower, the centurion shouted again. (To be continued.) )
