Looking at Liu Hong, Zhu Zhi suddenly became alert.

He immediately ordered the army to be on standby.

It was only a few minutes later.

He found that Liu Hong didn't seem to have a big army behind him.

It seems that there are only these tens of thousands of cavalry.

If he gritted his teeth and led his army to rush out.

Is it possible to capture Liu Hong alive?

At that time, maybe he Zhu Zhi will also be able to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

Thinking about it, his breathing suddenly became short, and he hesitated to lead the army out.

And yet at this very moment.

Zhu Zhi found that the cavalry led by him turned over and dismounted, and then began to line up.

Not only did these men carry a thick tube in their hands, but they also carried a pitch-black tube on their backs.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Zhi couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

What are these guys doing?

I saw these cavalrymen take out a medicine packet from behind and stuff it into the tube.

Zhu Zhi was even more puzzled by this.

Suddenly.

It was as if he had thought of something.

His complexion changed suddenly.

"Everyone! Beware of concealment! Beware of concealment! ”

Zhu Zhi hurriedly shouted at the top of his voice.

It's just a pity that it's already too late.

I only heard loud noises one after another.

Two thousand dragon thunderbolts erupted from the muzzle of the cannon, cutting a perfect parabola through mid-air.

Then it slammed down on the city.

Explode.

Bang bang!

Two thousand dragon thunderbolts covered almost a large part of the wall facing the musketeers.

Many soldiers were almost immediately stunned to death by the explosion.

The soldiers who were a little farther away had their eardrums ruptured and clutched their ears and howled in pain.

Even not far from Zhu Zhi, a dragon roar thunder exploded.

If it weren't for the guards around him, they would have pounced on it and intercepted the explosion.

At this moment, Zhu Zhi is afraid that he will also be blown up.

He looked horrified at the thick barrel below.

This is a miniature version of the Dragon's Thunder!

It's just a pity that he recognized these barrels too late.

Just a salvo.

And there was a wail over the city.

Three or four thousand soldiers were seriously injured or even killed in this round of attacks.

Zhu Zhi couldn't help but regret it a little.

He never imagined that these dragon thunderbolts could be launched so far.

It is because the stations on the head of the city are very dense.

Instead, it became the main culprit in the death of soldiers.

The other side.

Looking at the badly damaged city wall, Liu Hong smiled with satisfaction.

The musketeers have put away the Dragon's Thunderbolt Launcher.

Although Liu Hong would love to make a few more salvos.

However, the reserves of Longyin Thunder are limited.

The raw materials that are now manufactured are being snatched by almost all the princely forces.

At one time, it was even more expensive than gold and silver.

I looked at the banner that was still flying over the city.

Liu Hong removed the musket from behind his back and incorporated the flag into the crosshairs.

The trigger is then pulled.

Bang!

Gunshots rang out.

The flag snapped in response.

The sudden gunfire suddenly startled Zhu Zhi, and he hurriedly hid under the city.

A large flag fell heavily in front of him.

Only then did Zhu Zhi react.

Through the small hole in the city, he saw that the musket held by Liu Hong was emitting green smoke.

Could it be that this thing just made a noise?

"Alright, immediately stand in place and wait for the army to approach."

"But don't stop the gunfire, and fire at my son every half hour."

"In addition, the Dragon Thunder also launches ten pieces every half an hour, so you can do it yourself."

Liu Hong commanded.

All he had to do was put a lot of pressure on the defenders of the city.

When stress builds up to a certain level.

It's easy for these guys to surrender.

As a result, the musketeers who received the order then opened fire freely every half hour as Liu Hong said.

really choked the defenders and Zhu Zhi in the city.

You can't do it without defending the city.

But no one can resist this huge mental pressure.

Maybe there will explode there, and a few dragons will thunder and kill themselves.

Even Zhu Zhi had to get up like an ostrich.

He was also tormented by Liu Hong's methods.

The only thing he could do was to grit his teeth and hold on until Cheng Pu's army came to support.

I don't know how long it took.

Zhu Zhi himself was even tortured and had no concept of time.

I only remember that it was the twelfth explosion of the dragon's thunder.

Suddenly.

There was a tremor in his ears as the march of the army rang.

Zhu Zhi was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and looked in the direction behind him.

However, there was silence in sight.

This also means:

This army is not here to support him.

It is Liu Hong's follow-up army.

Zhu Zhi turned his head stiffly and raised his eyes.

I saw yellow sand in the distance.

When Zhu Zhi saw this, his face suddenly turned like ashes.

It's over!

Liu Hong's army is here!

And it is different from Zhu Zhi's despair.

Liu Hong saw the arrival of a large army and immediately arranged to prepare for the siege.

Several Dragon's Thunderbolts, which were specially designed to blast the gates, were mounted on the chariots.

The only purpose of these vehicles is to blast the gates.

Looking at the army of Liu Hong, who was in full swing outside the city and preparing to attack the city.

Zhu Zhi was even more anxious and was about to cry.

However, several more hours passed.

Liu Hong's army never showed signs of attacking the city.

But the same.

Zhu Zhi also did not see the arrival of Cheng Pu's army.

However, it will soon be a day and a half.

Until late at night that day.

Zhu Zhi still did not see Cheng Pu's army coming to support.

He couldn't help but think that it was likely that Sun Ce and the others had given up Nanyang County.

Gave up his Zhu Zhi and the remnants of the 20,000 army.

Thinking from the perspective of a commander-in-chief, Zhu Zhi felt that this situation was very likely.

Supporting Nanyang County will only drag down the rest of the army.

It is better to deploy in other counties while Nanyang County was attacked.

As soon as this thought appeared, it lingered in Zhu Zhi's mind.

But he didn't know it.

The herald he sent had already been killed by the musketeer squad that had been going north along the counties of Jingzhou.

So much so that now except for Nanyang County, Nanyang County and Sun Jian and others don't know anything about Liu Hong's army.

But this is not to blame Zhu Zhi.

After all, who would have thought that a team that didn't belong to them would pop up in their big rear?

And almost all messages were blocked.

It's not just Liu Hong who deliberately blocked the news.

Those princely forces also helped Liu Hong to blockade and prevent Sun Jian and others from knowing that Liu Hong's army was on the march.

And so on.

Caught off guard.

can consume Sun Jian's troops to the greatest extent.

In this way, Liu Hong can not only be prevented from being swallowed by Sun Jian alone, but also exterminate Sun Jian's vital force.

Looking at Liu Hong's army, which was unwilling to attack the city.

Zhu Zhi knew that it was very easy for the other party to conquer his own city.

So far, there has been no siege, and he is just waiting for him to open the city and surrender.

It's just that...

Zhu Zhi looked in the direction of Wuling County again, still a little hesitant.

He was always reluctant to believe that Sun Jian and others would give up Nanyang County.

It's a pity that this hope has been completely eroded with time.

Zhu Zhi was desperate.

He didn't want to wait any longer.

Obviously.

Sun Jian and others have completely abandoned Nanyang County.

"The whole army obeys the order!"

"Open the gates, surrender!"

Zhu Zhi shouted weakly.
