Chapter 274: Encountering Urn City

While Liu Hou and the ministers were talking, the walls around the city gate had almost been emptied. The accuracy of Keqiu's killing was not good, and even if the parabolic shooting method was used, only about 10% of the rockets landed on the city wall. It can only be blamed on the processing level and production accuracy of this world, which is too rough, whether it is the shape processing of gun~powder or rockets, and the counterweight of each part cannot be exactly the same.

As a result, the aerodynamics of each rocket is slightly different. These small differences, after flying over a distance of hundreds of meters, can be magnified into an error of several meters, or even tens of meters. Even if Liu Hou tried to promote a unified and more sophisticated measurement tool in the "Ministry of Industry" and promote a standardized, streamlined production process, these differences were only slightly narrowed.

As a result, about 10 percent of the rockets landed on the city wall along the correct parabola, half hit too close and hit the city wall or outside, and the remaining 40 percent flew far into the city. But this is enough for the Wei army, you must know that the concept of Keqiu killing is to win by quantity.

The current Hong army has sufficient ammunition, and with Liu Hou, the little emperor, personally leading the team, of course, the ammunition can be used as much as it wants. When the monarchs and ministers talked and laughed freely and pointed out the country, thousands of rockets had been fired from the front line, and at least hundreds of them had landed on the city wall.

Hundreds of dangerous explosives fell on the city wall, which was largely emptied. Moreover, due to the fact that more rockets fell into the city, the Wei soldiers who were waiting in the city to go to the city wall at any time to replenish the battle damage were also purged, and they could not fill the vacancies on the city wall in time for a while.

The front-line commander Guan Xing keenly captured this rare fighter, and he didn't have time to ask Liu Hou for instructions, so he directly ordered the Keqiu killing troops to stop the attack, and then let the auxiliary soldiers of the demolition team who had been waiting for a long time be dispatched.

These auxiliaries are not those demolition experts who can calculate the amount of medicine and set up the location of explosives~, and those technical troops are very few in the army, but often only a few people can plan a big explosion. And these auxiliaries are soldiers who are responsible for carrying explosives~ammunition and planting explosives~ammunition under the guidance of explosives experts.

They are not ordinary auxiliaries, but well-trained soldiers, if they are miscellaneous auxiliaries, in this situation where they need to risk arrows and stones, they may be frightened and scattered, but these well-trained auxiliaries will not, as long as the superior gives an order, they will definitely complete the task resolutely.

These demolition auxiliaries had a small round shield tied to one hand to resist possible arrows, and with the other hand, they held the explosive ~ medicine bag on their shoulders and rushed to the city gate at a speed of 100 meters. These explosive~ medicine bags are about fifty catties (about 12.5 kilograms), and they are carried on the shoulders of these well-trained auxiliaries, which has little effect on their speed, and they can still walk like flying.

Since the defenders on the city wall were almost emptied, these auxiliaries did not need to worry about the damage of rolling wood and arrows, so this time they didn't even use the half-cut boat for protection, and they directly resisted the explosives ~ medicine bag and ran away. This greatly increased the speed of their carrying, and soon the hole in the city gate was filled with explosives~ packets.

When the Wei soldiers re-entered the city wall, the demolition team had already placed all the explosives~ and laid the lead, ready to ignite at any time. Wei Bing also felt strange, why did the Shu army suddenly stop attacking? Many people secretly rejoiced in their hearts.

They had just witnessed the terrible attack of the Shu army, but they were driven by the officers to the city wall to defend the palace, originally thought that this time the nine deaths were a lifetime, many people were very sad in their hearts, and even shed tears and cried, but they didn't expect to go up to the city wall, and found that the Shu army had stopped attacking, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice that they had picked up a small life.

But their happiness didn't last a few minutes, and there was movement on the side of the Shu army again. After Guan Xing asked Liu Hou for instructions, he ordered the fire to be lit and break through the city gate. This time, Zhang Fei did not come out to make trouble, and a soldier of the demolition team lit the fuse with a torch.

When the Shu army received the order, they all lay down on the ground, their hands covered their ears, their mouths open, and they were ready to withstand the shock wave of the explosion. Of course, Liu Hou doesn't have to lie down, but he also has to come down from the watchtower for safety. Liu Hou didn't have to lie on the ground because he was far away, and secondly, there were several tower shields erected in front of him, and his defense was strong enough, and his safety was very guaranteed.

The Wei soldiers on the city wall are even more strange, are these Shu troops evil? Why are they all lying on the ground? Or did they suddenly find out in their conscience and intend to surrender to Wei? But then you don't need to do the five-body bow to the ground, just do an ordinary kneeling salute.

If they had experienced the battle of Wancheng, they would not have been so calm, and they would not be in the mood to think crankily. It's a pity that the Wei soldiers who escaped in the Battle of Wancheng either returned to the countryside as deserters, or followed Xiahouba to Xuchang. Although Runan is not very far from Wancheng, after the Battle of Wancheng, Liu Hou sent men and horses everywhere to persuade surrender and recover the surrounding cities, and the nearby area was full of Shu troops, which made the Wei army in Runan shrink, which also led them to not know the details of the Battle of Wancheng.

Of course, if they knew how the city gate was blown open in the battle of Wancheng, they would definitely follow Lu Xun's example and block the city gate hole with earth and stones. It's a pity that all of them are hypothetical, and all of them are late. After the loud explosion, the city gate and the city gate tower were blown away, revealing a large gap, and a large section of the city wall on both sides also collapsed, and the people nearby felt like an earthquake, and those who were closer could not even stand steadily.

Of course, the Wei army was miserable, and the Shu army was almost unaffected because of its pre-preparations. It's just that most people have some temporary tinnitus, and the people in the first few rows may have some dust on their bodies. However, these effects will soon be eliminated.

Five minutes after the explosion, the Shu army received an order and the offensive began. This kind of city street fighting, the main force of the attack is, of course, the rattan armor soldiers, if you change the fire ~ the spearmen go, if you shoot, before you have time to load, it is not worth it to be killed by the enemy who is ambushed nearby.

The vulture roared, and led his vine armor soldiers to rush into the gap, but he was dumbfounded as soon as he entered, because there was still a wall in front of him. It turned out that this Runan City had an urn city, and the Shu army blew up the outer city gate, and could not directly enter the city, but entered the urn city.

Countless Wei soldiers suddenly appeared on the wall of the urn city, and they opened their bows and arrows, and condescendingly shot at the vine armor soldiers below. The vine armor soldiers who entered the city were instantly shot into hedgehogs. But it's a hedgehog jumping around, because these arrows can't break through the rattan armor at all.
