Chapter XXIV: The Siege
The artillery fire in the sky was dazzling, and Yuangai Suwen had already opened his mouth wide at this time, unable to believe what was happening in front of him.
The artillery on the walls was still firing, and the sky was filled with the sound of iron pieces of iron. In the sky above the Goryeo coalition forces, many huge pieces of iron cracked open and fell one after another. Under the sky, it was as dark as when a rainstorm was coming, and the cannonballs projected a blue-gray glow in all directions. In the world that could be seen, from one end to the other, the entire plain in front of the golden city was shaking, sinking, and melting, and the infinite space was shaking like the sea.
In the east, there were extremely violent explosions, in the south, there were bullets flying sideways, and at the zenith, there were rows of flowering bullets, like volcanoes without feet. …… And on the vast and boundless earth, there was rain of blood and limbs, and nothing else, and the clouds of heaven and the clouds that came out of the earth were scattered and mixed together on the earth.
"General Jin" General Mu Chuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and turned his head to look at Yuangai Suwen with some difficulty.
Yuangai Suwen had just woken up from the shock at this time, he was more than ten miles away from the battlefield, and the horses under him were already terrified, almost wanting to escape, and he couldn't imagine what kind of human purgatory it was when those thunderbolts exploded beside him.
"What the hell is this?!" Yuangai Suwen's eyes almost popped out, and he roared.
"General Jin doesn't know either!" General Makikawa looked at Yuangai Suwen helplessly, he thought that the Goryeo sergeant had seen the scene in front of him, but from Yuangai Suwen's blank eyes, he also saw that this kind of firearm that he had never seen before must be Silla's last killer weapon.
"General, now that the enemy's ordnance is unknown, I think it's better to order the troops to be withdrawn and then discussed," said General Baekje Aki, who was already watching in horror on the side.
But before he could finish speaking, Yuan Gai Suwen's cold voice interrupted him. "The trapped beast is still fighting, and he ordered 100,000 allied troops to charge! Ben Jiang doesn't believe it, a small golden city will block Ben General's footsteps! ”
Some of the frightened Goryeo soldiers were fleeing back to the Goryeo coalition position, when they saw a row of archers already drawing their bows and arrows in front of the formation.
A general wearing a Goryeo general's armor stood in front of the battle and shouted, "Those who dare to retreat, die!" With that, he pulled a deserter dressed in a Goryeo military uniform and cut off his head with a sword.
"Attack the city quickly, and if the city is broken, you will return!" The archers shouted in unison.
Those soldiers who wanted to escape from the battlefield were stunned for a moment, and they were all dead before and after, rather than dying at the hands of their own people, it was better to sacrifice their lives to attack the city, once they didn't die, they could still fight for a military merit to seal their wives and sons.
"Bang bang bang." The siege drums were beating violently, as if to give confidence to the besieging soldiers.
"Kill!!" Those stimulated Goryeo soldiers suddenly turned around because of the life-and-death moment that stimulated the potential of their bodies, like Jinseong storming the past again
Above the Golden City.
"Hey, it's really not fun, retreating so quickly, Lao Tzu only fired two cannons, and it's not fun enough." An artillery man wearing Datang alloy steel armor said sullenly.
Another firing assistant on the side smiled: "As far as you kid is still having fun, the first shell just now was deflected to grandma's house, and none of them hit." ”
The artilleryman's face suddenly turned a little red, and with a flushed face, he defended: "Is it good to train on the flat ground on weekdays, but now on the city tower, the first shot is to adjust the coordinates, I don't see that Lao Tzu's second shot hit a whole phalanx, if you want me to say, that shot killed at least more than 100 people." ”
Just as the two of them were laughing and arguing, a big hand slapped one of them on the top of their heads.
"What nonsense, the Goryeo monkeys are attacking the city again, hurry up and fire, don't be sluggish." A middle-aged man wearing the military uniform of a Tang lieutenant reprimanded.
"Yes, Captain!" The faces of the two gunners suddenly changed to stern
On the tower of the city, Niu Jinda looked at the firing artillery with deep eyes, these cannons gave him an incomparable surprise as always, not only at sea, but also on the land, the power of these cannons made him feel the blood surge, the huge gunpowder exploded in the enemy's position, like firecrackers thrown into the furnace, and a well-trained phalanx could be blown up at once, this kind of power, Niu Jinda, as a veteran who has been on the battlefield for decades, naturally knows what it means.
Those Xuanjia troops in Chang'an were stunned on the city wall one by one, many of them had never been exposed to artillery, and they were originally preparing to have a bloody battle with 100,000 soldiers on the city wall, but they didn't expect that their teammates with strange tools would defeat the first round of the 100,000 army on the city wall, which was a little incredible in their minds.
Compared to the stunned soldiers of the Xuanjia army, the soldiers of Silla were obviously much more ignorant, and many of them knelt behind the artillery, kowtowing to the roaring artillery, kowtowing and praying for something, and the gunners who watched it were crying and laughing.
"The Goryeo soldiers are attacking again!" The lookout shouted at the long wall.
"Haha, it's just right, let's eat Lao Tzu's cannon!"
Skillful aiming, "Coordinate correction, four miles due south, ready to launch!" The auxiliary gunner observed the phalanx under the city tower and said meticulously.
Reloading, filling, ignition, a set of guns like a cloud of peers, watching a group of Silla soldiers kneeling behind the artillery, their eyes shining with stars, at this time the two gunners skillfully covered their ears.
"Boom!" The sound of cannon fire rang out again on the tower
Park Min-joon was originally a small soldier in the Goryeo army.
During the first battle of the city, because of his bravery, he took the lead in climbing the castle tower and killed the Silla soldiers who defended the city, creating a way for the Goryeo soldiers behind.
He still remembers that when he set out from Pyongyang City, his sister held his hand with her little hand when she saw him off at the door of her house.
"Brother, you must come back!"
"My brother will come back, and he will come back with great achievements."
Park Min-joon felt that he had already made a contribution, having plundered more than a dozen cities, and that he had already stocked his waist with silver coins and jewels, and that when he returned to Pyongyang, he would be able to save enough money to tear down his leaky and dilapidated thatched house and build a wooden house.
The thought of building a new house makes Park Minjun feel very excited, he misses his sister very much now, but he can't go back at the moment, because the last city in front of him has not yet been captured.
There was a constant explosion in his ears, Park Minjun was already out of breath, his phalanx was very lucky, he had not yet been attacked by the monster that was burning with flames, the city wall in front of him was getting closer and closer, the dilapidated city bricks, the gray brick corners, this qiē was so familiar, the corners of Park Minjun's mouth had already shown a smile, once the city ladder was erected, he could be the first to rush to the city tower and kill all the Silla soldiers above, he was already comfortable with this, because he did this in dozens of cities in front of him.
"Kill! As long as you get through that section, you won't be attacked by fireballs!! Someone in the Silla army besieging the city shouted excitedly, and everyone immediately realized that this was indeed the case, and those explosions were recently three miles away from the city wall, and once they entered the three miles, they would no longer be attacked by artillery.
This news made the soldiers of Goryeo beat the blood, ignoring the compatriots and comrades who were killed and wounded by the bullets, and they rushed to the slightly dilapidated city of Jincheng with red eyes like a group of madmen.
"General, the enemy has come within range of the muskets." A sergeant clenched his fists and said to Niu Jinda with a stern expression.
"Hmm." Niu Jinda nodded slightly, "Chuan Ben will order, muskets will shoot at will." ”
"No!"
Park Minjun was already panting from running, his chest was rising and falling violently, the road to death just now was too thrilling, a fireball exploded not far from the rear of their phalanx, and the soldiers in the last row were all killed by the splashed shrapnel, and he was also blown a few meters in front by a huge wave of air, fortunately there was no wound on his body, dragging his body, desperately rushing towards the city.
Following the soldiers carrying the siege ladder, Park Minjun skillfully blocked the shield behind him on his head, and when he reached this range, the wooden shield in his hand saved his life many times.
"Bang bang." Suddenly, there was a very strange noise on the city wall, and Park Minjun saw his comrades next to him fall R1152 one by one
