After Liu Yin issued the siege order, the soldiers of the Tiger Cavalry Army jumped off their horses, and under the command of Luo Shang, they organized a siege battle formation and began to advance and launch a siege campaign. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Han army went out of Nanzhong this time, all of them rode lightly, and did not carry any siege equipment, but after the two counties of Liankeyulin and Cangwu, the Han army captured a lot of siege equipment, including ladder siege vehicles, so that the Han army saved the trouble of making ladders.

However, it was not the cloud ladder troops that rushed to the front, but the firearms battalion under the cover of the shield soldiers, and the huge square shield was held above the heads of the Han soldiers.

It stands to reason that the first investment in the siege war is the ladder troops, only the ladder is erected first, in order to build the siege channel, the Han army did not set up the ladder first, but sent a shield soldier to the city down, see the rebels on the city is inexplicable.

Guo Ma naturally saw it clearly on the city tower, and the Han army actually sent a shield phalanx first, and he didn't know what they were going to do. Guo Ma ordered the defenders to shoot a few arrows to try, but after these arrows were shot, they were all blocked by the shields, and they could not hurt the Han soldiers at all, and Guo Ma was helpless, so he could only watch these shield soldiers cross the moat and gather under the city wall.

The Han army first discharged the shield soldier phalanx, and there was only one purpose, that is, to cover the firearms battalion to rush to the city of Panyu.

Since the firearms battalion did not bring catapults this time, it was unable to carry out long-range attacks, so it could only advance to the city and throw bamboo grenades on the city walls.

Panyu is a state city, and the city wall of the state city is higher than the county city, but compared with the capital city of Luoyang Jianye, it is a little worse, about two zhang more than three zhang is insufficient, such a high height, the thrower of the firearms battalion can easily throw the bamboo grenade to the city wall.

However, the Thrower must be under the wall to throw, otherwise it will not be able to throw it at all if it is far away, and once they get close to the wall, they will be counterattacked by the defenders' bows and arrows, so the Thrower must be under the cover of the shield to have a chance to approach the wall.

Just when Guo Ma and the others were guessing the true intention of these shield soldiers approaching the city wall, countless bamboo-like things suddenly flew out from the cluster of shields and landed on the city head one after another.

Before the defenders could understand, the smoky bamboos fell at their feet, and then, the first violent explosion sounded on the city, where the smoke was filled, I had to hear the rebels are ghosts crying wolf howls, screaming again and again, it turned out to be a soldier who was closer to the grenade was blown off his leg, but seeing that the broken leg had flown away, the soldier was holding the stump leg on the ground howling and rolling, the blood flowed from the broken leg, the bones were white, and it made people palpitate.

These people are far away in Jiaozhou, and they have never seen or heard of the power of firearms.

But soon a series of explosions occurred at the head of the city, the entire city wall was reduced to a sea of fire, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, the flames soared into the sky, countless rebels were killed and wounded, and even the city tower where Guo Ma was located was razed to the ground.

Guo Ma fled from the city wall in embarrassment, secretly calling for luck, if he hadn't taken the opportunity to escape quickly, I am afraid that he would have been wiped out like that city tower.

Under the continuous explosion, the entire west city wall of Panyu has no place to stand, except for the horizontal corpses and stumps on the head of the city, who are seriously injured and unable to walk, almost all the rebels have fled from the city wall with rolling and crawling, and everyone knows that the city wall is no longer a place where people can stay.

The Han army also tried to blow open the city gate with grenades, and more than a dozen bamboo grenades were tied together, and even the thick city gate was blown out of a big hole.

However, Guo Ma was very cunning, in order to prevent the Han army from breaking through the city gate, he had already made the city gate sealed with earth and stones, the Han army blew up the city gate, but could not clean up the earth and stones piled up on the city gate road, so the plan to directly enter the city from the city gate still failed, only through the strong attack on the city wall.

However, hundreds of bamboo grenades were thrown on the city wall, which could almost flatten the city wall, and Luo Shang saw that the time was almost right, and immediately ordered the shield soldiers and firearms battalions to retreat, and the siege troops set up ladders to launch an attack.

The movements of the Han army were extremely fast, these siege soldiers were all agile light cavalry, they were like a wind on horseback, and this time they climbed the ladder, and they also moved like the wind.

Because there was no rebel garrison in the city, the siege action was like walking on the ground, and the Han soldiers were full of energy, walking like flying, and climbed to the top of the city.

At this time, the rebels reacted, Guo Ma heard the dense explosions on the head of the city suddenly stopped, realized that the Han army was likely to attack the city, he hurriedly ordered the rebels to enter the city, but before they could rush to the city wall, the Han army had already climbed up, and the two sides started a fight on the top of the city.

How is the rebel rabble the opponent of the well-trained Han cavalry, the tiger cavalry has been in battle for a long time, they can get up to the horses, they are the cavalry that dominates the world, and they are also brave and incomparable foot soldiers, fully equipped armor, sophisticated and sharp weapons, and the same is incomparable to the rebels who are not even fully equipped.

The only recourse of the rebels was the high city walls, and this line of defense was now completely broken by the Han army, which meant that the two sides were on the same starting line again, and engaged in a fierce battle for control of the city walls.

The royal family led the rebels to counterattack, trying to regain control of the city wall, but although the number of Han troops was small, but the combat effectiveness was incomparable, although the rebels led by the royal family were numerous, but they were not close to the body of the people at all, and the Han army blocked the passage to the city wall and blocked the rebels' counterattack.

As more Han troops ascended to the top of the city, this battle has become more and more suspenseless, Guo Ma's face became extremely pale, he was originally full of confidence He has great confidence in defending Panyu City, thinking that with the current comparison of troops, there is a great hope of holding Panyu.

It's a pity that the strength of the Han army is something he can't know, and relying on these unknown firearms, the Han army easily took Panyu City.

Guo Ma didn't want to sit still, he immediately fled to the east, the east gate was not sealed, and Guo Ma left a way out for himself, he led his cronies, opened the city gate, and fled eastward.
