Baise City!

Li Wenyu, the lord of Ji Shishao, the lord of Yuzhen, and Li Ling each led an army of 10,000 to defend each city wall.

In total, there were more than 42,000 troops in the city.

But those who really have strong combat power are only a thousand mature peerless dungeon warriors and five hundred Heavenly Demon Blood Army.

Those who have an absolute sense of honor and discipline, and have good combat effectiveness, are the 20,000 alternate samurai of the peerless dungeon.

There are also 6,000 people composed of Dongchang warriors, Qinglonghui warriors, Guiwangfu cavalry, Zhennan Duke Army, etc., with good combat effectiveness and good loyalty.

The remaining fifteen thousand are prisoners of the old Mo clan, and they also have combat effectiveness, but their loyalty is barely enough. Fortunately, it was a defensive battle, and it was difficult to escape anywhere, and the fifteen thousand men had already been disorganized and filled into the rest of the armies. Even if there is a mutiny, it will not have the most terrible crowd effect.

At the head of the city, Li Wenyu said to Xuancheng Marquis Lu Zhan: "Lord Marquis, Yuan Tianzhao's army has stopped sixty miles away. If there is a soldier, you are the king of grass, you don't have to take the chestnut in the fire for others. ”

Xuancheng Marquis Lu looked at Li Wenyu at the head of the city and sneered: "My Lu family has been a noble of the imperial court for generations, and it has been passed down for one or two hundred years. What kind of thing are you, Li Wenyu, a fortunate person who castrated his eggs to gain the emperor's favor and was poor for a long time, what qualifications do you have to talk to me, and there are five people and six people. ”

This is the common characteristic of the vast majority of nobles.

Stubborn, arrogant, full of absolute superiority. There is also respect for the civil family, because they also have a history.

For the eunuchs, it was complete contempt and hostility.

Our noble wealth is handed down from our ancestors and is full of historical accumulation, why do you garbage eunuchs fight for more than ten or twenty years to be on an equal footing with us?

Who gave you the right to speak on an equal footing with me?

"Shut up, Li Wenyu, don't say anything. Xuancheng Hou Lu Zhan said: "Just wait for death, what about Du Bian's little gelding? It's a pity that it's not in the city, otherwise I really want to see, how does a little gelding dog who is less than twenty years old do the general soldiers of Baise, how does he go to the west of the town, Mu monkey and crown, jumping beam clown, come out and let us see!"

Suddenly, the tens of thousands of troops behind him burst into laughter.

"Brothers, the city of Baise is full of the people's fat and ointment that Du Chang has looted, and there are more than five million taels. Xuancheng Hou Lu Zhan said: "Kill in and rob the five hundred taels, and everyone will get rich together!"

It's really a dog, there are really about five million taels of silver in Baise City, and Du Bian has just seized the dirty silver that the old Mo's department has sold demon ointment (opium) for nearly ten years.

Immediately afterwards, Xuancheng Marquis Lu Zhan dispersed his army of 70,000 under three city walls.

But the treacherous man did not let the three armies attack the city together, but only one of them, about 23,000 troops to attack the northern wall.

The other 46,000 troops, always 500 meters away from the other two walls, were ready to attack, but not at all. As a result, the defenders of the other walls were never able to come to the north wall.

And at a distance of 500 meters, it is difficult for the trebuchets in the city to defeat the enemy.

The Marquis of Xuancheng marched thousands of miles without a trebuchet.

Therefore, the battle of Baise City directly omitted the procedure of trebuchets bombarding each other.

"Qing Jun's side, punish the traitorous ministers, kill Du Chang!"

"Kill, kill, kill......"

Xuancheng Hou gave an order, and his 23,000 troops skillfully used their scattered formations to rush towards the northern city wall.

Li Wenyu looked at the army surging below, and then at the defenders on the city wall. There were a total of 10,000 defenders on this side of his wall, 5,000 alternate warriors of the peerless dungeon were full of fighting spirits, and 4,000 soldiers of the old Mo clan were flashing in their eyes.

The 1,000 peerless dungeon warriors of the young city lord of Ji Shi were used as a general reserve to go up at the most dangerous and critical moment.

"Kill, kill, kill, kill......"

The 23,000 troops of the Marquis of Xuancheng roared wildly in his mouth, and his momentum soared into the sky, getting closer and closer.

Li Wenyu raised his sword, slashed down and said, "Strong crossbow array, release!"

Suddenly, hundreds of giant crossbows behind them shot out thousands of arrows, cutting through the sky above the city wall, forming a sharp arc and shooting towards the siege army of Xuancheng Marquis.

"Whoosh Whoosh ......"

Screaming repeatedly, the giant powerful crossbows of the peerless dungeon were incredibly powerful, and could easily shoot through ordinary armor.

Dozens of enemy troops besieging the city died tragically.

Thousands of arrows killed dozens of people, which is a bit low, because the formation of the army besieging the city of Xuancheng Marquis is too scattered.

Soon, the enemy rushed within two hundred meters.

Li Wenyu said loudly: "All archers, prepare, release!"

Suddenly, all the hundreds of giant crossbows and 10,000 soldiers bent their bows and arrows, and fired a volley in an instant.

"Whoosh Whoosh ......"

Arrows rained down.

Hundreds of enemies fell to the ground with a scream.

"Ready, put!"

The second round of arrow rain, the third round of arrow rain, the fourth round of arrow rain.

The bow and arrow shoot is over.

The result of the battle was the shooting and wounding of about 500 enemy soldiers.

"Bang ......"

The hundreds of siege ladders of the Xuancheng Marquis' army were smashed on the city wall.

Then, densely packed soldiers held shields and climbed up the siege ladder.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

On the city wall, huge rocks fell wildly.

Rolling logs fall wildly.

The oil was poured desperately.

Less than half an hour after the start of the war, it immediately entered the white-hot and cruel stage.

......

Compared with the primitiveness of the Battle of Baise City, the Battle of Dubian Dalong Fort is much more gorgeous and amazing.

The power of a twelve-pounder gun, at a distance of four or five hundred meters, is simply amazing!

The cannonball was like lightning, and it slammed into the Li army.

In an instant, the plough opened a bloody path.

Everywhere they went, blood, severed limbs, howls, corpses!

This was the first round of volleys, and there was no need to expect too much from the hit percentage.

However, the Li clan's entire army of 300,000 is too dense.

If it is a trebuchet, you can also predict the landing point and dodge it in advance.

The speed of the artillery was so fast that it came almost instantaneously.

In the first round of seventy artillery volleys, nearly fifty shells hit.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

One bloody road after another.

And the most terrible thing is that after the shell hits the ground, it starts to bounce.

After any soldier is hit, no matter what armor you are wearing, the body will be smashed and pierced.

There were even three shells that hit Li's giant trebuchet directly.

Moment...... Wooden trebuchet, directly torn apart.

The first salvo of the seventy guns caused thousands of casualties and destroyed three trebuchets.

This result was simply brilliant, far beyond Du Chang's imagination, and completely different from the salvo of the 130 six-pounder guns of Arbus.

The salvo of Arbus's 130 six-pounder guns that day was also astonishing and earth-shattering.

But it bombarded the city walls. And after all, it is a six-pounder cannon, and at a distance of four or five hundred meters, it is far less powerful than a twelve-pounder cannon.

The point is that the Li army is too dense and doesn't have any cover.

So, one salvo created such a brilliant record.

......

Whether it was Li Zhan or Li Ruhai, they were completely stunned by this scene!

It's not that they don't know about artillery, in fact they've heard enough of the boasts of Abs. But when they offered to let Abs conduct a test firing to open their eyes, Arbus mysteriously said that artillery is the god of war, and once fired, you must see a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

However, Arbus's 50,000-strong army still lost the attack on the city of Fuzhou, and his more than 100 artillery pieces were of no use at all.

Therefore, Li instinctively felt that the power of this artillery was just like that, and it was just that Abs did not understand the Eastern world and boasted.

Even in the eyes of many, it feels that artillery is no better than trebuchets.

After all, the trebuchet smashed out a boulder of more than 100 catties at once, and the iron ball shot by the cannon was only 10 catties.

However, when these cannons came into the hands of Du Bian, they exerted such amazing lethality.

The first round of shelling brought thousands of casualties.

The lightest of the key hits is also a broken hand and foot, the power is too amazing, too chilling.

And the more than 200 giant trebuchets of the Li Clan, what about the results of the first round of attacks?

Again, the quasi-head of the trebuchet is full of metaphysics.

Because the terrain of Dalongbao is relatively high, the person who launched the trebuchet made an incorrect estimate, so in the first round of Li's trebuchet bombardment, eighty percent of the boulder bullets hit the open space in front of the wall of Dalongbao.

Another 10 percent of boulder bullets smashed into the Great Dragon Fort, or smashed into the open space, smashing more than a dozen houses.

However, three boulders hit the walls of Dalongbao.

Although they predicted where the boulder would fall, the warriors on the walled wall retreated in time.

However, it still brought dozens of casualties, and smashed three huge gaps in the wall of Dalongbao.

After all, this is not a city wall, just a wall made of wood and earth.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

At that time, the scene when three boulders hit the wall was still very shocking.

The wall, which looked solid, was directly torn open with a huge crack.

The crown prince Li Zhan in the high place was overjoyed when he saw it.

Even in his heart, in the first round of trebuchet and artillery bombardment, Li's trebuchet did not lose, but won.

Because for the besieging side, the number of soldiers killed by the opposing side is secondary, and the key is to break through the city walls.

And in just the first round of bombardment, Du Bian's Dalong Fort wall was directly blasted open three gaps, which was of course a huge victory.

But for Du Chang, it is a completely different set of war philosophy.

The crown prince Li Zhan on the high place roared: "The trebuchet continues to bombard, completely tearing apart the wall of the Great Dragon Fort, so that the army of the gelding dogs of the Daning Empire has nowhere to hide. ”

Immediately afterwards, Li's more than 200 trebuchets began to operate in a complex and difficult manner.

The first thing to do is to adjust the orientation of the trebuchet and re-aim, because the first aim was wrong. Then pull down the trebuchet's long, thick throwing rod with all your might.

Finally, put more than 100 catties of stone bullets on the throwing plate.

The whole process takes about eight or nine minutes.

So how long does it take for a twelve-pounder gun to complete a salvo?

More than half a minute!

It's only been a little over half a minute!

Because these hundreds of gunners are the most professional, they can clean the gun chamber as quickly as possible, then stuff the gunpowder bag directly into the barrel, then stuff the shells in, and finally ignite and fire!

The powder packets were all made of silk and soaked in oil. The combustion explosion was very thorough, and there was very little dust accumulation.

Eight minutes and more than half a minute, the difference is simply worlds apart.

So......

Li's army had not yet reacted from the first round of shelling.

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

The second salvo of the seventy twelve-pounder guns began again.

Another earth-shattering bang.

Seventy shells, once again, whizzed away like black lightning.

In the first salvo, fifty of the seventy shells hit, and the remaining twenty hit the open space between the Li army's formations.

And this second round of volleys, after adjustments, the hit rate has been greatly improved.

"Bang ......"

Once again, a bloody and cruel scene appeared.

The fast-flying iron ball once again ploughed a bloody path.

Countless Li soldiers once again howled wolf, and their severed limbs and stumps flew wildly.

The ferocious ricochets were completely irregular, rampaging through the crowd, and corpses were strewn everywhere they passed.

Of course, the target of these rounds of shelling was actually the enemy's trebuchet.

In the second salvo, the hit rate increased by one hundred percent, directly hitting six of the enemy's giant trebuchets.

Once again, it was devastated, and it was torn fiercely.

"So fast?" Li Zhan shuddered.

Then, instinctively, he looked towards his father, Li Ruhai.

Li Ruhai's face was pale, and he didn't say a word.

He knew that the crown prince Li Zhan wanted to order the army to charge directly, because Du Bian's cannon was too fast.

It took their trebuchets half an hour to complete a bombardment, and by this time, the Dubian's artillery could carry out a dozen bombardments.

During this time, the Li army was completely passively beaten, and the casualties were too great, and the blow to morale was too great.

But the crown prince is the future king, and he has already said that the trebuchet will bombard the wall of Dalong Fort, and the second round of trebuchet bombardment must be completed, and the king has no jokes.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Du Chang's artillery roared again and again.

Every time it is more accurate, every time it is more amazing.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom......"

This short half of an hour seems to be as long as a year for the crown prince Li Zhan.

And in half an hour, his army died more and more.

The morale of his army was getting lower and lower.

He really had the heart to give the charge directly, not waiting for the second round of bombardment from the trebuchet.

But he couldn't, because his father didn't speak.

Father Li Ruhai would rather endure terrible casualties than complete his immobile position as the crown prince, and there is no joke in the king.

Therefore, he could only grit his teeth and watch this scene.

Du Chang's seventy guns were extremely presumptuous, roaring and firing a salvo every few moments.

Every time it was earth-shattering, every time he had to destroy several of his trebuchets, and every time he had to take hundreds or thousands of lives from the Li army.

He saw with his own eyes that the faces of countless Li soldiers were already full of horror.

It was completely passively beaten, and there was no power to fight back.

At this time, Li Ruhai and Li Zhan both had a voice in their hearts at the same time.

The trebuchet is finished, and it is completely going to be eliminated.

Artillery will become the absolute main force in future wars.

It turns out that Abs really didn't brag, artillery is the real god of war.

Fortunately, they are allies with the Holy Fire Sect, and after they destroy Du Chang, they can buy hundreds of artillery pieces and thousands of gunners from the Holy Fire Sect in the Western Regions.

By that time, the Li army would sweep across the entire Daning Empire.

......

Finally, more than a quarter of an hour later.

All the trebuchets of the Great Yan Kingdom of the Li Clan are ready.

At this time, it had already endured thirteen rounds of shelling from the Dubian artillery.

Of the more than 200 trebuchets, 80 were destroyed, and the dense Li army array at the front had been crippled, missing a big mouth here and a big mouth there.

More than 10,000 casualties!

Finally, it's my turn to make a difference!

The crown prince roared sharply: "All trebuchets, tear up the wall, release!"

"Whoosh Whoosh ......"

The remaining hundred or so trebuchets roared wildly again.

At the same time, the fourteenth salvo of seventy twelve-pounder guns burst out.

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

"Boom Boom ......"

Terrible shells, once again slaughtered.

"Bang ......"

This time, a dozen or so giant trebuchets were torn apart alive.

After a few seconds.

More than a hundred boulders shot by Li's trebuchet fell fiercely.

"Bang ......"

This time, the results were much greater.

There were six huge stones, which smashed the wall of the Great Dragon Fort.

In an instant, six gaps were torn open, and more than a hundred soldiers were stoned to death.

"Good!" roared the crown prince.

Du Bian, I made you arrogant for a long time just now.

Now, you're dead.

In the eyes of the crown prince Li Zhan, they have won this battle.

Because Du Chang was not defending a city, but a huge abandoned barracks fortress, and now the wall of the wall has been smashed out of nine gaps.

After suffering tens of thousands of casualties, the Li clan still has nearly 300,000 troops.

There was no city wall, and Li's 300,000 army fought more than 40,000 of Du Bian.

Even the most elite troops will definitely lose, not to mention that among the more than 40,000 troops of Du Yan, there are still 15,000 recruits.

The crown prince pulled out his sword sharply and roared loudly: "The army charges, sets foot on the Great Dragon Fort, and slaughters the army of Daning's gelding dog Du Chang!"

Order!

Countless armies suddenly charged frantically and rushed towards the Great Dragon Fort of Du Bian.

At this moment, the earth really trembled violently like an earthquake.

The Li army, like a terrifying tide of darkness, Du Chang's Great Dragon Fort is like a castle built of paper, as if it will be destroyed in an instant.

The fifteen thousand warrior recruits trembled and felt like they couldn't breathe.

Li Sichao looked at the enemy rushing like a tide, his mind was blank for a while, and his hands and feet were completely stiff.

"It's over, it's over! I'm going to lose this time, I'm going to die. ”

"Li Sichao, Li Sichao, you lard is blinded, you really believe in Du Bian, and now you are going to die here. ”

"Lord Du Chang, you're going to kill us!"

......

In everyone's opinion, Du Chang's battle is undoubtedly lost, and the only outcome is that the whole army is annihilated.

Seventy pieces of artillery were formidable, killing 10,000 enemies in less than a quarter of an hour.

But there was no time, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Li clan would soon rush up, and the walled wall had already broken several gaps, and there was no need for even a siege ladder.

How many more rounds can you shell from artillery?

After Li's hundreds of thousands of troops rushed through the broken wall, these artillery pieces were also captured.

There are more than 40,000 people, but they can't beat nearly 300,000 people.

Looking at the Li army rushing towards him, Du Bian waved his flag and shouted loudly: "Change shotguns!"

Hundreds of gunners methodically and quickly cleaned the chambers, stuffed gunpowder packets, stuffed brand new shotguns!

Of course, the shotgun at this time is not like the modern era of later generations, just a long barrel shell can be stuffed in, and the reloading time is a little longer, but it is also a little longer.

Moreover, the weight of the shotgun stuffed exceeded that of the solid bullet, reaching 13 to 15 catties, and hundreds of large projectiles were stuffed inside, each of which exceeded the weight of the bullet warhead.

All shotguns, fully loaded.

The twelve-pounder cannon fired a solid shell with a range of up to 2,000 meters and an effective range of 1,000 meters.

When a shotgun is fired, the range is less than 500 meters, and the effective range is only about 300 meters.

The Li army is getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer.

Du Chang yelled, "All archers prepare!"

Suddenly, more than 40,000 soldiers behind the wall, all of them bent their bows and arrows.

Four hundred meters!

Three hundred and fifty meters.

Three hundred meters.

Two hundred and fifty meters!

Du Chang gave an order violently and shouted: "Release!"

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

Seventy twelve-pounder guns roared wildly, and flames erupted from their muzzles.

Then there was a flash of gold.

It was like a torrential rain.

Terrible shotguns burst out.

At the same time, Du changed an army of more than 40,000 people, and fired a volley, and arrows rained down.

"Boom Boom ......"

Terrible metal storm!

Moment!

Tens of thousands of metal projectiles, like rainstorm pear blossoms, like a fan, sprayed violently.

Bloodshot out!

In an instant, an extremely amazing and terrifying scene appeared.

The Li army, which was at the forefront, fell in pieces like wheat.

Terrible slaughter, crazy slaughter!

......
