As a result, this trick has received good results. The military households whose children were taken away had no choice but to take up their weapons and follow them to the city. In a very short period of time, there were thousands more military households in the city. Fearing that their children would be killed, the soldiers were well-behaved and no longer fought against their families. Looking at it from a distance, the strength of the defenders is still very strong.

"It seems that there are more ways than difficulties!"

"Who said I was a piece of waste, can you think of such a solution?"

Zhao Yinying was proud of the tricks she came up with temporarily, and couldn't help but feel a little proud. Thousands of children have been captured, and thousands of defenders have been added, and such a trick can be used more in the future. If you catch thousands of children, you can't have thousands of military households who will die for themselves? He couldn't help but regret it a little, how could he not have thought of such a clever approach before? If you think about it in advance, the children of those military households outside the city will also be captured, and the defenders at the head of the city can exceed 10,000 people! With 10,000 defenders, do you still need to worry about Zhang Zhun?

In order to boost the morale of the defenders, Zhao Yinying rarely wore a military uniform. The commander of the guard of the third product is the adult, and the line is quite exquisite. Six-petal flowing gold helmet, dark red waist-length armor, tiger head boots, white tiger bronze medal, red spike waist knife. At his side, there were four heavily armed servants. If you don't know the details, you still think it is the reincarnation of General Qi Jiguang, majestic and high-spirited, Zhao Yinying stood on the tower of the west gate of the Acropolis of Aoshan, and ordered his family members and captured military households to go up to the city wall and closely monitor Zhang Zhun's movements. The only cannon was also transferred by Zhao Yinying's order.

There are four city gates in the Acropolis of Aoshan, the east is "Zhenhai", the south is called "Anyuan", the west is called "Ying'en", and the north is called "Weishan". Where Zhao Yinying is at the moment is the West Gate "Yingen Gate". The only cannon is also installed here. Zhao Yinying decided that as soon as Zhang Zhun appeared, he immediately ordered the cannon to be fired and gave Zhang Zhun a dismissal.

There is a castle tower above the Ying'en Gate, and Zhao Yinying hides inside the city, observing the movement outside through the shooting hole. Outside the city gate, it was quiet, there was no one to be seen, and the field was desolate. Due to the attack of the Tatars of Tianheng Island, Aoshanwei's harvest this year must be very bad. Faintly, you can hear strange sounds, as if some heavy object is crushing the earth.

"Your Excellency!"

"Zhang Zhun is here!"

Suddenly, someone with sharp eyes screamed.

All the defenders couldn't help but have their hearts beating violently.

Zhang Zhun has finally arrived.

Sure enough, on the field outside the Ying'en Gate, a tight formation appeared. They were all dressed in gray military uniforms, and they were not very conspicuous against the backdrop of the wilderness. However, a bright red military flag among them is quite eye-catching. The focus of the eyes of all the defenders was subconsciously focused on this red flag. With the advent of follow-up troops, their gaze shifted again. They found something. With the appearance of these things, the pupils of most of the defenders couldn't help but shrink.

Cannon!

Thirty cannons!

Zhang Zhun deliberately set up the formation, exposing all the cannons he was carrying to the eyes of Zhao Yinying and the others without concealment. Thirty cannons, lined up, that's called a spectacular. According to intelligence, there are only three artillery pieces at the east gate of the Acropolis of Aoshan, and two of them cannot be fired. Thirty cannons are thirty times more than the enemy! Don't talk about fighting, just scaring can scare you to death!

"Cannon!"

"Damn it!"

"Where did Zhang Zhun get so many cannons?"

Sure enough, as soon as the cannon appeared, the morale of the defenders at the head of the city immediately fell to the bottom.

Someone began to look around, choosing a route to escape. The attitude of those military households who were coerced to fight can be imagined. Even some family members began to look around and choose to retreat. Nothing else, the other party has thirty cannons, and they can blow Aoshanwei to pieces at will. Is there still a need to fight this battle?

Zhao Yinying's face was even more dead, he couldn't believe everything in front of him. Zhang Zhun will definitely carry artillery when he attacks the Acropolis of Aoshan, and Zhao Yinying is mentally prepared. However, he never expected that Zhang Zhun would carry so many cannons! Seeing the cannons pressed over the mountains, Zhao Yinying felt like committing suicide. If he had known that Zhang Zhun had so many cannons, he would have fled to Dengzhou Mansion a long time ago.

Thirty cannons!

Oh my God, thirty cannons!

Where did this Zhang Zhun get so many cannons?

He was dazed, and actually forgot that Zhang Zhun had already conquered Lingshan Guard, and these cannons, of course, were dragged from the Lingshan Acropolis. In order to attack Aoshanwei, this time, Zhang Zhun is all the cannons were pulled out. However, in fact, only ten cannons are real, and the other twenty are models made of wood and then painted. True and false, false and true, in the chaotic battlefield, how many people can tell the difference? Thirty cannons, an absolute blow to the morale of the defenders. For example, Zhao Yinying was so frightened that she looked dead.

"Calm down!"

"Calm down!"

"Calm down!"

When Zhao Yinying saw his subordinates, she had already begun to panic and had to roar hard. In fact, Zhao Yinying's own heart has completely collapsed. In front of thirty cannons, he could not help but collapse. However, now, he has no choice but to support himself. There was no way back for him.

However, Zhao Yinying's constant roaring did not have much effect. Those who should panic continue to panic, and those who should be chaotic continue to be chaotic. At most, that is, the family next to him, can calm down a little. The defenders elsewhere have begun to break up. Even some officers such as Baihu and Zongqi have completely lost their confidence in fighting. Zhang Zhun was originally a bad star, making Aoshan Wei uneasy, and the character who changed color when he heard it, and now, he dragged thirty cannons, isn't this looking for death?

Thirty cannons!

It's not three or five, it's thirty!

Zhao Yinying can imagine with his heel, what kind of scene it will be when thirty cannons are fired together. If he had thirty cannons, he wouldn't even be afraid of a tartar! No wonder the other defenders are bloodless. Thirty cannons are enough to completely blast open the gates of Aoshanwei. And as long as the city gates are blasted open, what kind of fate awaits them can be imagined with their knees.

"Array!"

Zhang Zhun said coldly.

He raised the clairvoyant mirror and carefully looked at the Acropolis of Aoshan.

The city wall of Aoshanwei is obviously not properly maintained by Lingshanwei, and there are traces of decay in many places. The gap between the stones can be stuffed with a dead pig into it. The hole dug by the rats was the size of a cannon. A commander like Zhao Yinying is really too bad. If you have the ability of Wang Jian, at least you can keep the stability of one party.

Thirty cannons, which were quickly pushed to the front.

"Fire!"

Zhao Yinying shouted angrily.

"Fire!"

Almost at the same moment, Zhang Zhun said without hesitation.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The cannons of the defenders at the head of the city, as well as the cannons under the city, began to fire at the same time.

Smoke filled the air, artillery roared, and a fierce artillery battle began.

One of the defenders' cannons, the shells didn't know where they hit, anyway, neither the enemy nor the enemy saw where the shells landed. On the contrary, the cannons on Zhang Zhun's side were all fired around the city gate. The solid bullets struck around the city gate, which immediately triggered a series of reactions, and the already dilapidated city wall was constantly knocked down with dirt. In some places, bricks and gravel fell down with a clatter, revealing large holes one after another.

"Bang bang bang!"

After the first round of shooting, Zhang Zhun continued to fire the cannon on his side.

Solid bullets kept flying out, hitting the city gates, and some even hit the city towers.

"Bang!"

The solid bullet landed on the top of the octagonal tower, and suddenly flew a corner.

Broken stone tiles flew everywhere, beating the people next to them to their heads and bleeding, screaming miserably. The defenders, who were originally trying to use the cover of the city tower, hurriedly hid far away from the city tower. Another cannonball struck the battlements, sending half of the battlements flying. The people hiding behind the battlements screamed and fell to the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

"Quick!"

"Quick!"

"Quick!"

Xu Ziwen and Liu Chenzi are still making their first appearances, so they are naturally excited. The two of them kept shouting back and forth, telling the soldiers to reload as fast as they could, and then launch them fiercely. This was the first battle after the establishment of the Artillery Association, and of course they could not lose face. If you fight well, the artillery will naturally be highly valued by Zhang Zhun in the future, and if you don't fight well, it will be difficult to say.

"Bang bang bang!"

Solid bullets continued to whistle away.

The entire surroundings of Ying'en Gate were shrouded in thick white smoke.

In the air, the pungent smell of gunpowder wafted, and the sound of coughing was constantly heard.

The walls of the city that had been hit by the shells collapsed one by one, revealing large holes in them of a completely different color from those around them. Occasionally, a cannonball hit the city gate, making a deafening sound that felt like the gate would be shattered at any moment. The octagonal tower was hit from time to time, and there were constantly tiles and gravel splashing, and no one dared to approach. Many of the battlements near the gates had been beaten to the ground, and their bodies were completely broken.

All the defenders, there is only one action:

Lie on the ground and hold your head.

Zhao Yinying felt that one of her hearts was trembling.

He had never seen such heavy artillery fire, never heard such a dense cannon sound. Damn, this Zhang Zhun, where did you get so many cannons? With so many cannons constantly firing, he may not be able to support it for even half an hour. Zhao Yinying began to regret her decision. I knew that I should have given up the Acropolis of Aoshan and evacuated on my own initiative. But now...... It's too late to say anything.
