Chapter 154: Artillery Siege, Earth-shattering (Second Shift)
At this moment, the twenty leaders led by Niu Meng, Shi Zheng, and Xu Shijie, holding sapper shovels, shovels and other digging tools, lined up in a long line, and slowly entered the city protection array.
Since they stepped into the big array, Nie Zheng has been observing the expressions on their faces, and found that they still look nervous and dignified, and suddenly, his brows furrowed, and he secretly said to himself: "It seems that this big array of city protectors must break the eyes of that array, otherwise, the illusion in the array cannot be lifted." ”
"This large protective array is really powerful, just two hundred and fifty grenadiers bombarded at the same time, but it failed to affect it, it can be seen that this kind of formation without a defensive cover type cannot use brute force to break the formation."
"According to the secret letter from Jia Xiufang, the tips above are; Let people find the location of the array eye, and then dig down nine feet into the ground, and there is a thing called what array beast is hidden inside, as long as it is grabbed and raised, the big array at the north gate will be automatically eliminated, huh...... If this method is really effective, when the time comes, when I capture Yangzhou City, and then put the array beast back, maybe in the future, this big array of protecting the city will be able to be used only by me, and the strange person who Jia Xiufang said offered the method of breaking the formation, I must visit him in person in the future to see if I can take him under my command, since he knows the method of breaking the formation, he should also know how to control this large array of the city, and in the future, I won't worry about no one being proficient in this kind of formation mystic......"
Thinking of this, Nie Zheng was secretly full of expectations and curiosity about the "strange person" who offered the method of breaking the formation.
However, the matter of visiting the Naqi people will be talked about after the capture of Yangzhou City.
At present, the most important thing is to break this protective array and bombard the group of Dayue natives on the city tower.
At this moment, Shi Zheng, Niu Meng and the others, all closed their eyes, and only relied on the memory in their minds, step by step towards the direction where the array eye was, and now, they had penetrated nearly two hundred meters into the big array, and three hundred meters ahead, they could reach the location of the array eye.
Seeing this, Nie Zheng immediately shouted: "Chen Shou! ”
"The subordinates are here!"
Chen Shou walked quickly to Nie Zheng, arched his hand, and said, "Alliance leader, what are your orders?" ”
Nie Zheng glanced at him and said coldly: "From now on, your snipers are divided into two teams, a pair of stealth assassins who are responsible for cleaning up the remnants of the formation, and a pair of stealth assassins who are responsible for protecting the safety of Shi Zheng, Niu Meng and others. ”
Hearing this, Chen Shou nodded deeply and said, "Obey, Alliance Leader!" ”
After explaining the precautions for the guards who broke the formation, Nie Zheng turned around like a whirlwind and ran towards the mountain artillery position behind the team with great strides.
At this time, above the North City Tower, Bato stared at the large array outside the city with a fierce expression, looked at the twenty Han dogs, and approached the formation step by step, and suddenly, the murderous intent in his eyes became stronger and stronger.
A hundred steps, as long as these Han dogs take another hundred steps, they will enter the shooting range of the bed crossbow.
Now the distance is too far, the three hundred six-hole bed crossbows deployed on the city defense, their maximum range is only 500 paces, and the twenty Han dogs who want to come in and break the formation, they are at least 550 steps away from the city defense.
At such a distance, the bed crossbow simply could not be shot.
Therefore, Barto can only endure the anger in his heart, wait patiently, and patiently calculate the distance.
As long as the gang of Han dogs who broke the formation entered a distance of 500 paces, when the time came, the 300 six-hole bed crossbows on the city defense would shoot these Han dogs on the spot!
Hum!
The ferocious power of the six-hole bed crossbow is something that ordinary Hangou warriors can resist?
In the past, there was a group of warriors whose strength was at the pinnacle of the seventh rank, and they wanted to break into the big formation in a group to break the eyes of the formation, but under the bombardment of hundreds of six-hole bed crossbows, they conjured up a cloud of bloody hedgehogs on the spot.
Jie Ji ......
Today, this gang of Han dogs who broke the formation, their fate will not be an exception!
Just when the three thousand Dayue crossbowmen above the northern city defense stood quietly in front of all the bed crossbows, ready to launch at any time, Nie Zheng, who was three miles away, was also ready to launch.
At this time, behind the offensive formation of the army of four thousand dragons and tigers.
Ten Krupp 75-mm mountain guns have long been lined up in an excellent bombing artillery array.
The cannon barrels of the ten black holes pointed to the Beicheng Tower three miles away, enveloping the city heads hundreds of meters on the left and right sides within the attack range.
Twenty-six clone soldiers, half-crouched behind the ten mountain cannons with a grim expression, had long been ready to attack.
With a faint sneer on his face, Nie Zheng slowly walked to the back of the artillery array, looked up at the brightly lit city tower in the distance, and suddenly, his smile stopped, the cold light in his eyes exploded, and he shouted angrily: "Fire!" ”
Order.
All the clone soldiers crouching behind the mountain cannon immediately touched the firing device.
Suddenly, a scene that shocked everyone appeared!
I saw ten Krupp 75mm mountain guns, their heavy barrels, suddenly shook back, and their black holes flashed in the barrels.
Boom!!
In an instant, ten thick and long cannonballs, like ten whistling meteors, shot straight towards the city tower like thunder.
At the same time, Bato, who was standing on the top of the castle tower, felt a huge black bamboo shoot attack with great speed before he could see what was going on......
Thundered!!!
The flames rose into the sky, and the earth-shattering explosion suddenly sounded above the hundreds of meters long Beicheng defense.
Shrapnel ****, air waves rolling!
Countless broken masonry and stone, accompanied by billowing gunsmoke, flew all over the sky.
On the city wall, it was as if ten huge flame flowers suddenly bloomed, and the flame flowers were extremely gorgeous and fierce.
Suddenly, the ten flames burst open.
Suddenly, countless Dayue soldiers guarding the city wall were blown up to the ground, and people turned on their backs.
Up and down the majestic city wall, smoke and dust were filled, and the screams of horror were like a tide that resounded throughout Yangzhou City.
In the moat under the city wall, as if it had suddenly rained, a large number of broken stones and wooden blocks, accompanied by the rain of blood and flesh thrown from the sky, fell to the surface of the water with a clang, smashing out bright red and dazzling blisters.
Above the cracked city, countless Dayue soldiers fled everywhere covered in blood, and the ground of the city was littered with rubble, dust and cracked wooden blocks.
In this mess and mess all over the ground, blood flowed everywhere, and stumps and broken arms were everywhere.
A Da Yue soldier who had been blown off his legs was screaming like crazy, frantically crawling along the broken battlements towards the inner side of the city, dragging blood all the way behind him.
Up and down the city defense, there was chaos, groups of frightened and overly frightened Dayue soldiers, completely out of control, they were all pale, frightened to flee to the bottom of the tower, soon, those disabled soldiers lying on the ground, it didn't take much effort, they were trampled by their own groups of frightened and uncontrollable companions, flesh and blood blurred, reduced to a pile of meat and mud.
Barto was lying in the rubble covered in blood, his left arm and legs had long since disappeared, and a five-inch-long bloody hole had opened on his chest, and dark red blood was flowing out in a steady stream.
He rolled his eyes, blood foaming from his mouth.
Faced with the chaotic city defenses, he wanted to stand up and roar, but he couldn't move, his throat trembled for a long time, and he couldn't even make a sound.
Looking at the stars in the night sky, he was unwilling to roar in his heart. "How so? How so? I Bato is one of the four lion armor generals of the Great Yue Kingdom, I still have a lot of things to do, I still have to follow the king on an expedition to the Great Song Dynasty, I also want to see the lion flag of the Great Yue Kingdom with my own eyes, planting every city in the Great Song Dynasty, I also want to watch the king step on the head of the Han dog emperor and ascend to the throne of the emperor, I still have to ...... Still going to ......."
Finally, Bartow slowly closed his eyes.
At this time, the northern city defense of Yangzhou City fell into chaos completely.
…………
Nie Zheng stood at the back of the artillery array, looking at the ten Krupp 75mm mountain guns in front of him, he was also shocked in his heart.
He never imagined that these ten mountain cannons during World War I would be so powerful.
Just the first round of bombing made the Beicheng Defense three miles away explode.
Ten shells that shot away had already broken the six-zhang high city wall in all directions, especially the five shells that fell on the city's head, which directly blew up a large part of the city's head.
One of the shells fired into the North City Tower was even more terrifying, directly blowing up half of the North City Tower.
Such terrifying power is simply terrifying.
Fortunately, it was himself who used these mountain artillery, if the enemy used this kind of artillery against him, the bloody and terrible scene, Nie Zheng didn't dare to think about it.
The scene of the bombardment of ten mountain artillery pieces just now, not only Nie Zheng was surprised, but the group of dragon and tiger soldiers under his command, after seeing the terrifying power of these mountain artillery, all of them were shocked and their legs weakened, and they were so shocked that they even stopped breathing.
In the past, they always thought that the power of the rockets should be great enough, but today, the power of these big guys summoned by the Nie Alliance Lord was actually even more terrifying than those rockets that attacked the city.
In the blink of an eye, the enemy's city defense was almost destroyed.
These big guys with two wheels and a chimney are really scary.
For the shock of the people under him, Nie Zheng had already felt it.
Since the power of these ten mountain cannons is so huge, let's continue to fire a few more rounds and completely destroy the enemy's city defenses, anyway, it should be used as a cover for them who are breaking the formation in the big array.
Thinking of this, Nie Zheng took a deep breath and ordered those clone soldiers again: "Adjust the bombing target and keep firing!" ”
"Yes, sir!"
Thundered!! ……
