Chapter 191: I Heard

In mid-air, a cold wind swept by, and a huge black shadow flew over the ground, hitting the heavy city wall, and suddenly dust and stones were everywhere.

"Boom!" A loud sound came from the place where the boulder collided with the city wall, and the impact was so loud that it was almost eardrum-shaking.

The air, which was still clean, suddenly became cloudy.

The defenders of the city first felt a shock to their bodies, and a large amount of dust rushed into the noses of some of the nearby defenders, and they choked and coughed dryly.

Even their eyes could not see their surroundings clearly for a while.

The falling boulder landed on the nearby ground with a "bang", and rolled on the ground several times, but finally stopped moving.

Because Yang Qi's army was still far away from this place, no army was accidentally injured by the boulder.

"It seems that the so-called strong walls are nothing more than that." Yang Qi looked at the rumored thick city wall, which was not afraid of trebuchet bombardment, and whispered.

I saw that on the solid city wall, a huge stone smashed over the piece, a pothole appeared, and the crack was "crackling" and falling dust downward.

The blow just now had obviously caused damage to the city walls, and after the dust and stones were splashed, some of the soldiers defending the city had already retreated.

Because they found that the thick city wall that protected Hanzhong City was not as undamaged as the defenders of the city thought.

"Lord, do you want to continue throwing stones?" In the first round of stone throwing, the slinger was waiting for the next order, and beside Yang Qi, a general urged the horse over and asked.

At this time, in Canglan City, there were officials who drove the people to start repairing - this was due to the fact that there was no order to attack at the same time, which led to Canglan having this opportunity.

"Go on." Yang Qi rode on the horse, looked at the scene in front of him, and said calmly, he controlled the attack of the return car very strictly, and did not mean to break it in one fell swoop.

"No." The general responded, and then another round of bombardment began.

"I really can't imagine that the Cheng army has a boulder that can bombard the city wall!" On the city wall, a guard said with a solemn face.

Ordinary trebuchets cannot break through the city wall of Canglan County, not only because the city wall is built thick and the stone used is strong, but also because the ditch built outside the city is very wide, throwing stones from outside the city to the city wall, and ordinary trebuchets cannot knock stones down to the city wall at all.

"Being able to knock a boulder down on the city wall, although it is too far away, the strength is insufficient, and there are too many times, it is still a hidden danger." The guard looked coldly at the still smoking pothole, turned around, swept his gaze over a team behind him, and instructed him: "You quickly report the situation here to the king." ”

"No." The man responded with a bang and walked back along the road.

The subordinate leaves, and the guard will continue to stare into the distance.

I saw 100,000 troops surrounded outside the city, and at a glance, the black pressure was overwhelming, as if there was no end.

Bang! The stone fell on the wall near the guard, and the frightened soldiers hurriedly retreated.

"General, you'd better step back." Someone persuaded him.

The guard shook his hand and continued to stand there. Seeing this boulder, it rolled directly to the moat after landing, and fell into the river with a thud.

Although the river was turbulent, a huge boulder fell and was not swept away by the current.

This is one piece, and if more stones fall into the moat, the moat's usefulness will be lost.

"Could it be that the Cheng army is not only fighting the idea of breaking through the walls and entering the city?" Thinking of this, the guard was suddenly startled.

It doesn't matter what kind of idea the army fights, and how the guards guess it.

The boulders continued to bombard the city.

Every stone made the city wall splash with dust, and without Yang Qi's order, the army did not attack.

The sound of this bombardment made the people in the city uneasy.

At the same time, there are also uneasy imperial merchants who are stranded here.

In the city of Canglan County, at this time, even the people who were kept in the dark knew about the attack of the army.

On the originally bustling streets, the number of pedestrians has dropped sharply.

However, there are many people in the shop restaurant.

That is, there is a large army attacking the city, and after entering the city, as long as you are not wandering in the streets, you will not have any worries about your life. If it's not safe to stay in a shop or restaurant, then staying in your own home may not be too peaceful.

Many of the imperial merchants who stayed here really had nowhere to go except for restaurants and inns. All of a sudden, the restaurants were lively.

"I heard that tens of thousands of troops are surrounded by Canglan City, when will it be a head? The batch of goods I brought has been delayed for a long time, but I have to pay a lot of money! "The restaurant is a little closer to the city gate, the guests inside can hear the sound of bombardment one after another, the heart that was originally settled, at this time it is uneasy again, the door of the restaurant has long been closed, only the guests on the first and second floors are talking inside.

Someone had heard of the prestige of the army, and at this time, they told the people around them about the rumors they had heard.

As a result, it attracted more embarrassment.

"I didn't expect that in just two years, Chengwang has created such a foundation, such a person is really amazing!" Someone couldn't help but lower his voice: "This Cheng army is attacking the city on a large scale, although Canglan City is the capital of Donghu Wang, it may not be able to defend it!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he was sneered at by a person: "What about it?" Isn't the king Cangmang Dragon comparable to him? The king's kindness, have you forgotten it? Don't increase the prestige of others and destroy our spirit! ”

"That's not the case, the king's kindness is to the children of Canglan, but are we Canglan people? We are the merchants of the Empire, not the people of the land. ”

"An army of 100,000 is on the outskirts of the city, and I don't see the king leading the army out of the city to meet the battle, but just guarding the city, when will it end? There will always be a time when the food in the city will run out, right? ”

"There is food supply for the army outside, and I am besieged in the city, can there be supplies? Can the defenders of the city be supplied in? That's it, it's not a problem, you should always be able to hear it, right? That's a trebuchet! Is this wall no matter how strong it is, it can't be broken if it is smashed twice, and it can be forbidden? ”

"Besides, it's still this sentence, your king is the king of Donghu, not ours, we, the imperial merchants, are trapped in the city, don't care who gets this city, just open the city gate and let me wait out!"

"That's it!" In the face of this, most of the Imperial merchants agreed.

The selfish side of human nature is undoubtedly revealed at this time.

In addition to the local people, some of them insisted on confrontation, and most of the traveling merchants thought about their own safety and goods, and whether this war disaster would affect them.

Even if there were a small number of traveling merchant voices who supported the king, they had confidence in the reckless dragon, but under the voice of the public, they were quickly drowned out.

"Listen, this sound is like a landslide, and I panic when I hear it." A fat merchant stood up and said to the people around him: "Brothers, everyone is trapped here, and it can be regarded as our fate, some of you know some details, but let's talk about it, after this army attacked the city, it really invaded, how to treat us!" ”

"I took the caravan to go mostly by sea and land, but Yanchuan County has never been there, I heard that every time the Cheng army goes, they will kill a lot of people, are the rumors true or false?"

Listening to his question, it is a matter of his own safety, and the ears of the people next to him are pricked up.

Not to mention, there are really a few businessmen in the restaurant who know a little about Chengjun and often travel back and forth to Yanchuan.

When the merchant asked about the intention of these men, one of them sneered and said, "Everywhere you go, you kill a lot of people, and that's true." ”

As soon as these words fell, the traveling merchants in the inn all showed frightened looks.

"Don't be busy, don't be afraid, but those who kill are stubborn resistance and do not surrender, and they can't talk about ordinary people without committing any crimes, and they are also strict in military discipline, and when it comes to military discipline, becoming an army is the best I have ever seen."

"Of course, if you kill someone, you will not be merciful. In short, all the guards are gone. The defender will really defend the city. The defenders surrendered the city and welcomed the army into the city. Finally, after a fierce battle, they entered the city, and there was little blood to be seen in the city. ”

Hearing this, the atmosphere became heavy for a while.
