Zhu Yunwen listened to the constant shouting and killing sound outside, and the eunuch holding the food plate also couldn't help but tremble, the fight has lasted for three days, and the King of Jin is attacking almost day and night, what is puzzling is that even in the face of Geng Bingwen's impermeable defense, the King of Jin has never used the powerful artillery to attack the city wall.

Why, exactly!

Not only Lin Feng couldn't guess this, but even the black-robed strategist beside King Jin was also frowning, for three days, there were more than 10,000 casualties every day, and such an attack method could never approach the city gate in front of the opponent's airtight arrow camp, and this kind of fighting method was completely chaotic.

Even if it is cannon fodder, it is also human life, death is not terrible, what is terrible is the desire for victory, once lost, it will be a complete disaster.

This King Jin must be clear, since this is the case, why would he choose to use this simple and ineffective attack method so persistently, these days, King Jin has been staying in his carriage, because through the curtain, the world inside is full of mysteries.

"How many days?"

King Jin opened his eyes, for a man who was in a hurry to break through the capital and become the emperor, such a wait was undoubtedly an ordeal, so King Jin was fighting with his patience.

In the eyes of King Jin, no one can defeat himself, except himself.

"Three days."

"Almost."

"Lord Wang, with artillery?"

The strategist frowned, at this time he really couldn't guess King Jin's thoughts, the closer he got to the capital, the more strange some of King Jin's actions became, he didn't care at first, but as the number increased, the strategists around King Jin couldn't help but start worrying.

"It's not time yet." King Jin lifted the curtain, probably because he had been staying inside, and the light outside suddenly became extremely dazzling, and King Jin couldn't help but block it with his hand.

"Lord Wang." A figure appeared, it was the strategist who had been waiting next to the carriage, and when he saw the curtain on the carriage lifted, he hurriedly approached.

"It's really early."

King Jin was happy for a moment, and then his hand was released all of a sudden, and the strategist stood there with a bow, looking at the falling curtain and sighing, at this time several generals were coming from below.

The strategist waved his hand, several figures stopped, and one of them said in a low voice: "It's not a way to attack like this, the casualties are too great." ”

"yes, I've got to figure out a way."

The strategist sighed, "The prince has no intention of changing his mind, just create more momentum." The strategist glanced at a few people, and a few people understood, without the order of the prince, the offensive must not stop, but if it goes on like this, people will die too quickly, and the strategist means only to create momentum and not attack, which is a way to get the best of both worlds.

"Okay."

A few people turned around and left, and the strategist turned around and looked at the lonely carriage in front of him, at this time, a shadow appeared inside, and the king of Jin at that moment looked extremely lonely.

Bang bang bang, a loud bang came out, not the cannon of King Jin, but a fireball from inside the city, flying high and smashing straight towards the crowd outside the city, falling on the body of the person with a huge sound and then quickly exploding.

This fireball is incredibly powerful, especially when used against a group of soldiers, those shattered sparks hit the body of the person and immediately burst into flames, and in an instant, the rebel camp in front of it turned into a sea of fire.

Dozens of throwing trains are placed inside the city wall, and this kind of thing has a very loud name called Thunderbolt Car, also known as Thunderbolt Fire Bomb, and the prototype is a catapult used on the ancient battlefield.

"Retreat."

Geng Bingwen stood above the city wall and looked at the retreating rebel camp with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and after fighting repeatedly, there were almost no casualties on his side, and there were already corpses everywhere outside the city.

"General, the rebel army has retreated, so let's go and rest first."

Geng Bingwen nodded, he was really tired these days, "You must be careful to deal with it, and you must not let the other party approach." ”

"General rest assured."

This person is Geng Bingwen's old department, so Geng Bingwen is very relieved, Geng Bingwen went down from above and returned to the camp to rest, and the rebel army could only keep retreating under the strong firepower of the defenders of the capital.

"Why did you retreat?"

Although the king of Jin was sitting in the carriage, he could still judge the situation in front of him by the direction of the shout, and the shouting of killing was from far to near, from strong to weak, which was completely a sign of retreat.

"Lord, there is a thunderbolt in the city."

"Don't we?" King Jin snorted coldly, and then looked at the person in front of him with strange eyes.

"Does the prince want to repay his body in the way of others?" The man paused for a moment.

King Jin shook his head, "It's not enough at all, inform the rear camp that the artillery will be transported before dark, and tomorrow morning, the king's carriage will appear in the outer city." ”

"Yes."

King Jin finally decided to use artillery, this was the only way to break through the outer city, under Geng Bingwen's tight defense, it was impossible to attack through the city wall.

The strategist went to convey the order, walked a few steps and stopped, the curtain of the carriage was lowered again, at this moment, the strategist seemed to have guessed the mind of King Jin, was the siege a few days ago deliberately confusing the opponent, and then suddenly hit the opponent by surprise with artillery, if so, last night or even the night before yesterday could be, why do you have to wait until today.

The strategist hesitated for a moment and continued to walk, when it was dark, and someone came to the front of the carriage with a box containing food, "Lord Wang, eat." ”

"Put it down."

"Yes."

The food box was placed on the stone, the curtain moved, and in the next moment, the food box on top had disappeared.

The soldier who delivered the meal was stunned, looking at the empty stone in front of him, and then looked up at the carriage, King Jin opened the food box, grabbed a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, at this time, there was no usual gentle and elegant state at all.

Under the light of the torches, the four guns were fixed, and with the order of the main general, the four flames fell straight in the direction of the city gate, and the speed of the shells sent out by the guns far exceeded that of the thunderbolts.

The power is not even a level, a few loud bangs, the top of the city wall instantly bloomed, and the platforms built on it shattered one after another under the huge power of the artillery fire.

The shooters who were hiding on it were also affected by the artillery fire, and at that moment, the top of the city wall lit up a few times, and then quickly darkened, and as the shells fell on it, the guards with torches fell one after another.

"Squat, quick."

The sudden change protruded, the defenders on the city wall did not react for a while, many people were hit by the falling cannonballs, and the generals who stayed behind shouted loudly and waved their arms, this person should have seen artillery, and also knew how to dodge artillery.

Just stick your entire body to the inside of the wall to minimize the damage caused by the cannon falling, and the moment the man's arm was raised, a flash of fire approached.

There was a loud bang, the entire city wall shook violently, and then the general let out a scream, this is war, no one can avoid death, even a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he can't accurately judge when the next death will come.

The man's body was directly pierced by the crumbling stones, along with the armor on his body, and such a force can be imagined.

"General."

The soldier next to him quickly ran against the wall, and the man fell to the ground, blood kept gushing out of his mouth, "Squat, squat..."

Geng Bingwen woke up suddenly, the sound of artillery fire on the city wall was like a thunderbolt exploding in his ears, such an attack Geng Bingwen had already expected that the King of Jin might have ignored a point, the thickness of the city wall of the capital, even if the power of the artillery was amazing, it still could not completely blast the city wall of the capital open.

Geng Bingwen walked out of the camp tent, and the guards quickly stepped forward, "General, the other party uses artillery." ”

Geng Bingwen nodded, "The number of cannons in the hands of the King of Jin should not exceed six, the old man wants to see what else the King of Jin, who was once the most proud of the previous emperor, has any other methods." ”

Geng Bingwen insisted on going up to the city wall, no one could stop him at this time, there was no way, those guards could only hold shields to protect the old general, if there was really danger, they would definitely not hesitate to block the front.

The sound of artillery suddenly stopped, and smoke and dust rose above the city walls, and from a distance, it was as if someone had pulled out a layer of skin, and the position above it was almost bald, but unfortunately, even so, there was still no way to blast open a hole enough for cavalry to break through.
