Chapter 436: The Frightened Official

Yuan Zhe is a relatively clear person among the officials of Wei State, in his mind, judging from the "previous record" of Shu State to create miracles, what is so strange about the appearance of two hundred fire~ cannons now. Wei's fire~cannons are large and bulky, so they need to be cast with the strength of the country, but these new fire~cannons in Shu are very short and thin, which also means that there are very few materials used to cast them.

Maybe the materials used to cast more than 200 new guns ~ guns are less than the materials used in Wei to cast ten guns ~ guns. Just as Yuan Zhe wanted to refute the bad-brained official with something, another herald had already rushed over.

"Report to the enemy to put some long barrel-shaped things into those iron cylinders, I don't know what I want." Hearing the words of this herald, Yuan Zhe secretly screamed in his heart: "It's broken." Although he didn't know how these iron cylinders worked, he also knew that the Shu army was definitely going to start acting.

Since the Shu army wants to act, then the people standing on the city wall are in danger. What should I do? If you say now that you want the people on the city wall to leave quickly, but there are so many big people here, and you are soft-spoken, you obviously can't be the master.

Even if you want to persuade those big people to give such an order, it is very difficult, looking at the attitude of the bad brains official just now, it will be difficult to convince these people for a while, and now it is time to wait, where is there still time to debate with these people slowly, slowly grind.

Moreover, if you say such a thing, you may not only not be able to save the people on the city wall, but you may also be put into it, and at such a sensitive moment when a big war is about to break out, you may be punished as someone who disturbs the morale of the army. But if you don't speak, you have to watch so many lives on the city wall disappear, how can you bear it?

However, Shu Jun obviously didn't give him too much time to dwell on this issue, and just when Yuan Zhe was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do, he suddenly heard a sound of "Xiu Xiu Xiu" in the sky.

Everyone looked up and was surprised to find that countless black dots flew in the sky at high speed, like the swarm of locusts flying in the sky during the locust plague, the difference was that these black dots were obviously flying fast, and in the blink of an eye, the black dots became several times larger and turned into black poles.

Some people don't know that this is because the distance is getting closer, which makes the image of things bigger, and they think that these things have magic and can be made bigger and smaller at will. However, the scene is not all uninformed people, and after fighting with the Shu army for so many years, there are many Wei officials and generals who know the powerful things of the Shu army, and that Yuan Zhe is one of them.

"It's not good, this is a shell of the Shu army, run!" Yuan Zhe shouted, turned around and ran, a small half of the officials and generals also saw the problem, or didn't see it, after Yuan Zhe reminded him, he also remembered what these were, so they also turned around and ran away with Yuan Zhe, and the scene was suddenly chaotic.

Although officials and generals usually occupy high positions and look like five or six people in front of people, at this kind of life-and-death juncture, they are actually not much different from ordinary fools and stupid women. The usual politeness and usual gentlemanly demeanor are all gone.

So, there was a stampede at the scene, although most of the officials in this era can be civil and martial, but there are still some weak scholar-type officials who are powerless, they are easily overthrown to the ground, and then stepped on by countless official boots, even if they don't die, they only have half a destiny left.

At this time, those black shadows in the air flew closer, and the flesh~ eyes could see their appearance clearly, everyone saw that the front of these things was pointy, and there was a long cylindrical body behind, and there were a few tail wings like feathered arrow tails on the tail. Most people didn't know about these things, after all, they looked so far away from the cannonballs they used in Wei that they couldn't connect the two.

However, even if they didn't know these things, they knew that these things would definitely not be a good way, so some of the officials who couldn't hold their breath also joined the fleeing team, and only some of the old and serious officials continued to stay there, pretending that Mount Tai had collapsed and not moving, and continued to look up at the sky.

A small number of generals who had escaped from the front-line troops had seen these things before, and knew that these were the terrifying "Keqiu killing" of the Shu army, but most of these generals had already begun to flee at the first time, and at this time, they didn't care about looking back at the situation in the sky.

Soon, the mystery was revealed, and the flying objects in the air fell down to the city wall with lightning speed, and a loud rumbling noise came, accompanied by raging fire, billowing smoke, and shaking the ground like an earthquake, and even a huge wave of air hit, impacting the officials who were still watching seventy kilometers away.

In this explosion, most of the Wei troops in the city wall, including the urn city, turned into a rain of blood. Although the city wall did not collapse, some of the outbuildings on the city wall, such as the female wall, the arrow tower, the watchtower, and the like, were destroyed a lot.

This round of Shu bombardment was confined to an area of about 50 meters inside and outside the city walls, which allowed some soldiers who stood relatively far away to escape their lives. The leaflets of the Shu army gave a warning range of 50 zhang (125 meters), but in fact a large safety range was reserved.

Those officials who were greedy for life and afraid of death stood 70 zhang (175 meters) away, but they were actually very safe. They were all shaking now, not only by the blast of the explosion, but also by the sudden loud noise.

Those frightened officials quickly reacted, and they also turned around and ran, even those old stubborn ones no longer insisted, at this time life was critical, and other thoughts were thrown out of the sky by them.

Not long after that round of rocket bombardment, two more rockets flew in succession, plowed the city wall twice again, and there was not one out of ten soldiers and people in the explosion range, and all of them died in a miserable state.

Some of the Wei soldiers who were killed were scorched, some were blown to a blur of flesh and blood, some were blown up to the point of breaking hands and feet and even had their bodies torn apart, in short, none of them were intact. Still others are buried among the rubble, their fate uncertain.

The troops on the Wei front (the Wei soldiers on the bombed section of the city wall) were almost all reimbursed in an instant, but the Wei army had prepared reserves early in the morning. These reserves, not far from the city walls, had witnessed the deplorable situation at the front line, some of whom were standing closer to the ground and were tossed to the ground by the blast of the explosion, and they were in confusion when they landed, and some even tried to escape.

It's not terrible to die, but everyone is afraid of dying so badly, and these soldiers of the second-line reserve are very afraid that they will also fall into a dead body. Their fears soon became a reality, as the reacting generals began to drive these reserve soldiers up the walls and continued to guard the gates and walls.
