Chapter 210: First Victory

The Zhongdu cannon, called a cannon, is actually a stone thrower, and the thing fired is a boulder, not a solid iron bullet. There was originally a stone thrower in the Northwest Army, and after Elena's improvement, it was more labor-saving at the same time, and it could throw a boulder weighing 150 catties, with a throw distance of 250 steps, about 130 zhang, and after the boulder landed, it could enter the ground seven feet.

This kind of power, the best hand of the Frost Crawling Peak Master is nothing more than that.

Thirty of them are all cannons, saying too much, saying no less. If you attack a majestic giant city like the Eastern Capital or the Central Capital, I am afraid that you will not be able to do it, but it is enough to attack the Great Yi Mansion.

Thirty Zhongdu cannons were lined up in turn and placed in the northwest direction of Dayi City.

Xiao Yu, Lin Han, Lan Yu and others have all come here, Xiao Yu looked at the boulder that had been filled on the trebuchet, and said with emotion: "The siege weapon is nothing more than this, Matthews and Elena, the two people from the Western Regions, have some means. ”

Lin Han smiled: "It's just a strange trick." ”

Xiao Yu smiled, did not comment, and asked instead: "How many more such stone throwers do we have?"

Lan Yu, who was in charge of the army's supplies, said: "There are more than 100 planes, which can throw stones three times." ”

Xiao Yu groaned slightly, "Less." ”

Lan Yu naturally understood that Xiao Yu was talking less, and it was for the Eastern Capital, the largest city in the world, and then added: "Xiao Jin is already stepping up the construction, and it is expected to reach about 500 units in March next year." ”

Xiao Yu nodded and said: "Five hundred units is about the same, tell Elena that she has a great merit this time, if this king can enter the Eastern Capital, he will reward her with a viscount." ”

Lan Yu smiled in response.

After Xiao Yu walked around the thirty Taizhong cannons, he turned around and walked towards the big tent of the Chinese army, and said to Lin Han, who stayed here: "Let's start." ”

Lin Han, who was dressed in military uniform, pressed the handle of the knife with his hand and said in a deep voice: "No." ”

Dayi Mansion is the gateway to the entire northern frontline, Xiao Yu, who personally led the army, is determined to win the first battle of the Northwest Army, and his requirement is to fight a battle, and the momentum of the Northwest Army must be beaten.

In this battle, Lin Han personally supervised the battle.

Although Lin Han has always been pure and harmless in front of Xiao Yu, he has another side in the Northwest Army, acting unscrupulously, leading the troops with iron blood and ruthlessness, and never taboo killing, it can be seen from his courage to shoot against Wei Ban and Lan Yu, and when he suppressed the barbarians in Nanzhong, he was even more bloody, so he was called General Shura.

Xiao Yu used Lin Han to supervise the battle, which showed that he no longer cared about casualties, whether it was the defenders of Dayi Mansion defending the city on the city or the Northwest Army besieging the city under the city, there would be a sea of corpses and blood.

Lin Han raised his hand and beckoned his adjutant and said, "Send someone to shout, the defenders in the city are limited to open the city and surrender within a stick of incense, otherwise, after the city is broken, the city will be slaughtered." ”

The adjutant, who knew his boss well, said in a deep voice, and then immediately sent someone to shout. He knew that his boss was not just talking, he was really going to slaughter the city.

Not surprisingly, Ding Shiguang was not moved by Lin Han's "persuasion" at all. The time of a stick of incense passed in a flash, Lin Han squinted his eyes and looked at the head of Dayi City, and said to his side: "Old rules, the Upper Governor Clan, start attacking the city." ”

A delicate-faced young lieutenant waved his hand, and the soldiers standing on both sides of the Zhongdu Cannon immediately began to act, and after a few breaths, with a roar, thirty boulders weighing one hundred and fifty catties rose into the air with a whistling sound, drawing a terrifying arc in the sky, and smashed into the head of Dayi City.

All the soldiers looked at the sky in unison, with a look of horror that could not be concealed, Lin Han, who was also seeing such a picture for the first time, showed a touch of shock on his face, he suddenly understood why Xiao Yu valued these things called Zhongdu cannons so much, and he had even begun to imagine what kind of magnificent scene it would be if five hundred Zhongdu cannons were fired at once.

The boulder smashed on the city wall of the Great Yi Mansion, the sound shook for hundreds of miles, countless smoke and dust rose, and the rubble and dust fell from the cracks, and it seemed that the entire city wall was trembling.

A boulder flew directly up to the city, and several soldiers defending the city who had no time to dodge were directly smashed into bloody mud when they landed, and then the boulder rolled over again, crushing a road of flesh and blood made of broken arms and corpses.

Lin Han took a light breath, calmed his mood a little, and said calmly: "Go on." ”

Fifteen more boulders flew up together, still falling in about the same position, and the walls that had not been repaired for many years were already crumbling.

Seeing this scene, Ding Shiguang at the head of the city finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "Shoot the arrows, release the arrows, the bed crossbow, and shoot it fiercely for me over there." ”

The rain of arrows flew through the sky like a flock of crows, falling in this direction.

Although there was already a shield wall to cover it, there were still soldiers who were shot by stray arrows and fell to the ground, and even a stone-throwing machine was directly destroyed by the crossbow arrows fired by the bed crossbow.

The dead body was quickly pulled aside, and someone immediately took his place. Moments later, the third round of throwing was ready.

Lin Han was surrounded by several shield-wielding armor guards, and there was also a Dao Sect master of the Heavenly and Human Realm who closed his eyes and recuperated on the side, Lin Han was expressionless, and just said two words, "Go on." ”

The boulder flew out again, and the section of the city wall where Dayi City was continuously bombarded was finally overwhelmed and collapsed, revealing a huge gap.

Lin Han's face finally showed a hint of a smile, and said, "It's okay, let's attack the city." ”

The herald immediately turned on his horse and galloped away.

Not long after, the sound of drums began again, and countless siege soldiers with shields, braved the baptism of arrows and began to rush towards the gap that was bombarded by the central capital.

The rain of arrows was endless, and in the face of the pitch-black surging tide, there was still a sense of a drop in the bucket.

The foot soldier in the pitch-black armor didn't pay any attention to the robe beside him and under his feet, but just raised the weapon in his hand and rushed forward again.

Because if you keep moving forward, you don't necessarily die, but if you go backward, you will definitely die.

In all fairness, the Northwest Army is best at fighting on horseback, and although this kind of siege war is much better than that of the grassland and Houjian, it does not like it. However, most of the siege this time are newly recruited recruits, the truly elite Northwest Iron Cavalry, who are guarding Xiao Yu's royal tent at this time, so Lin Han is not very distressed, and he fills it with human life, anyway, after entering the Central Plains, the "junjies" who know the current affairs will naturally be moved by the wind and rush to serve the new master, and at that time, will they be afraid of no one?

In troubled times, the most worthless thing is human life.

After an hour's siege, the Northwest Army left nearly 1,500 corpses behind and successfully attacked the gap.

As for the defenders, the bows, crossbows, sasswood, rolling stones, and hot oil were all exhausted, and they didn't even have time to replenish them, so they could only resist the offensive of the Northwest Army with flesh and blood.

Another hour later, because the city wall was blown down for a while, the defenders who had lost one side were no longer able to resist, and the northwest army climbed the city wall.

The entire line of Dayi Mansion was lost, and Ding Shiguang retreated into the city and engaged in the most brutal street battle with the Northwest Army.

The street fighting lasted nearly a day, from midnight to dusk.

The Northwest Army was constantly thrown into the battlefield by Lin Han, from the first 10,000 troops to the second reserve 10,000 troops, a full 20,000 troops pressed on the Great Yi City, which was twice as many as the more than 10,000 defenders in the city.

Those young men who were originally going to climb the city wall to help defend the city have already dispersed in a hurry, and it is okay to let them go up to the city wall and throw stones, if it is a real fight with real knives and guns, it is a fool's dream.

At this time, Ding Shiguang had personally led his five hundred personal soldiers to the battle to kill the enemy, although he was a civil official, but his swordsmanship was quite good, at least he had the cultivation of the frost threshold and even touched the frost threshold, the sword aura was like a rainbow, and there were more than 30 soldiers of the Northwest Army who died under his sword.

Helplessly, he is not a carefree immortal who can turn the tide of the battle, nor is he a celestial master who can kill the heads in front of him with his own strength, or even a frost realm that can fight his way out of the encirclement, no matter how he fights bravely, there are more and more enemies in front of him, but there are fewer and fewer soldiers beside him.

In the end, he was the only one left.

Ding Shiguang, who was covered in blood, stabbed to death a Northwest Army soldier who rushed up with a sword, but was slashed in the shoulder by the Northwest Army armor soldier on the other side.

Ding Shiguang shouted angrily, and cut off the person's head with a backhand sword, but then he was stabbed into his body from behind by a long knife.

It was a dark guard captain dressed in black brocade.

Ding Shiguang's mouth was full of blood, and he said vaguely: "Yes...... Heartkill...... Thief, powerless...... Back to heaven!"

Ding Shiguang, the guard of the Great Yi Mansion, fell to the ground and died, his head was cut off and sent to the big tent outside the city.
