Chapter 309: The cannon roared, and the city gate was broken
In Dahan Mountain City, the guard Chen Zhiyong looked at the south city gate that was blasted out of a big hole by the Shenwei cannon, and only felt that the whole person was stupid.
What kind of weapon did Da Wei use, which could blast out a big hole in the strong gate of Dahan Mountain City five hundred meters away?
The Goguryeo defenders, who were hit by solid iron projectiles, were sent down the city wall and carried to the infirmary for medical treatment, except for a few unlucky ones who died on the spot.
However, the guard general Chen Zhiyong was no longer in the mood to care about the injured Goguryeo soldiers, because he picked up a solid iron projectile under the city gate that had been somewhat deformed and cracked.
"I see, Da Wei was able to hit a solid iron ball as big as a Keju ball from five hundred meters away to the gate of Dahan Mountain City!"
The back of the guard Chen Zhiyong was already covered in cold sweat.
Since Great Wei can blast through the city gate, then the city wall is just a matter of a few more cannons!
As if to confirm the guess of the guard Chen Zhiyong, outside the west, east and north gates of Hanshan Castle, the roar of Shenwei cannons also sounded one after another!
After Cheng Yu observed the results of the battle at the South Gate, he decisively ordered the Shenwei cannons at the other three city gates to start firing.
The soldiers of Great Wei, except for the initial fear of the huge sound of the Shenwei cannon firing, began to cheer when the Shenwei cannon fired next.
Because after the Kamui cannon was fired, they heard a scream from the walls of Daehansanseong.
So after the Shenwei cannon was fired, the defenders on the walls of Daehansan Fortress all squatted under the battlements to avoid being hit by solid iron projectiles.
The Goguryeo defenders who were hit before either died on the spot or had broken tendons, and no Goguryeo defender dared to stand on the city wall when they heard the loud bang of the Shenwei cannon.
The defender Chen Zhiyong soon received a report from his subordinates that the four gates of Dahan Mountain Castle were now damaged to varying degrees and needed to be repaired urgently.
Chen Zhiyong directly ordered to seal the city gate with earth and stones, so as not to give the Great Wei soldiers any chance!
Cheng Yu, who was ordering the bombardment of the city gate outside the city, kept using a clairvoyant mirror to observe the movements of the defenders at the head of Dahan Mountain City.
To say that this clairvoyant mirror was sent to Youzhou by Lin Chuan before the friction between Great Wei and Xianbei and the opening of the mutual market, I didn't expect the debut of the clairvoyant mirror to be not on the prairie, but in Goguryeo.
Cheng Yu began to notice that the defenders of Dahan Mountain Fortress had a riot under the bombardment of the first few rounds of Shenwei artillery, and then found that the defenders of Dahan Mountain Fortress gradually regained calm under the pacification and orders of a general.
Although he knew that the general should be Chen Zhiyong, the defender of Dahan Mountain City, Cheng Yu also knew that although the Shenwei artillery was powerful, it could not accurately hit a general who was constantly running around the city.
Next, Cheng Yu found that a large number of people had gathered at the city gate, and suddenly realized what the guard Chen Zhiyong was going to do!
"They're going to fill the gates! You can't give them time to fill the gates! ”
Cheng Yu said loudly to Jiang Wei beside him.
Then Cheng Yu ordered Jiang Wei: "Mobilize the Shenwei cannons at the east gate and west gate to the south gate and north gate respectively, and then continue to bombard the city gate!" ”
"No!"
After Jiang Weide's order, he quickly began to send troops to assist the Great Wei soldiers at the east and west gates, and transferred the Shenwei cannons to the south and north gates.
What Cheng Yu wants is to break through at least the two gates of Dahan Mountain City in the shortest possible time to prevent the guard Chen Zhiyong from filling all the gates.
"I didn't expect this Chen Zhiyong to be so decisive in the face of the Shenwei cannon to fill the city gate!"
Cheng Yu's evaluation of Chen Zhiyong, the defender of Dahan Mountain City, in his heart, once again increased by three points.
If it weren't for artifacts such as clairvoyant mirrors, a lot of solid iron projectiles would have been wasted and the walls of Daehansanseong would have been destroyed.
After concentrating the firepower of the Shenwei cannon on the south and north gates of Dahan Mountain City, Cheng Yu ordered again to let the Great Wei soldiers start to march towards the south and north gates.
As long as the Shenwei cannon breaks through the city gate, the Great Wei soldiers will rush into the city of Dahan Mountain City in the first time!
So outside the two city gates, 30,000 Great Wei soldiers gathered in each city, brought cloth bags full of earth used to fill the moat, and quickly marched towards the south and north gates of Dahan Mountain City.
At the same time, the Great Wei soldiers also prepared siege shield vehicles for defending against arrow attacks at the head of the city and protecting them with wooden planks on three sides.
In Dahan Mountain City, the guard Chen Zhiyong was ordering his soldiers to urge the people to speed up the blockade of the city gate, and then Chen Zhiyong found that the artillery attack on the south and north city gates had doubled compared with the beginning, and the east and west city gates had stopped artillery attacks.
"Quick, hurry up and fill in the south and north gates, and leave the east and west gates alone!"
Chen Zhiyong grabbed the lieutenant general beside him, and then ordered loudly at the lieutenant general.
Chen Zhiyong then returned to the top of the tower and found that the soldiers of the Great Wei had begun to march towards the south and north gates.
So Chen Zhiyong sat at the head of the city and began to personally command the defenders of Dahan Mountain City, launching a counterattack against the Great Wei soldiers who were gradually approaching the south and north gates.
Jiang Wei led the 30,000 Great Wei infantry under his command and was heading towards the south gate of the Great Han Mountain City.
Soon, the Great Wei infantry led by Jiang Wei entered the range of bows and arrows of the Goguryeo defenders.
Then, on the walls of the Great Han Mountain City, a steady stream of arrows began to pour arrows towards the Great Wei Infantry Soldiers.
However, the Great Wei soldiers not only had shield carts, but also iron armor, except for some very unlucky Great Wei soldiers who were shot by arrows in their limbs and faces, most of the Great Wei soldiers came to the moat of the Great Han Mountain City safe and sound in the rain of arrows.
"Change the rockets and burn their shield cart to me!"
Above the castle tower, the guard Chen Zhiyong shouted an order to the archers.
The archers defending the city of Goguryeo, after replacing the rockets, did cause some damage to the shield cart of the Great Wei, but at this time the shield cart had already come to the front of the moat, and some of the Great Wei soldiers took the opportunity to take water from the moat with their helmets and poured it on the place where the shield cart caught fire.
Next, burlap bags filled with dirt were thrown into the moat of Daehansanseong.
Outside the south city gate, Cheng Yu was using a clairvoyant mirror to observe the progress of Jiang Wei's army to fill the moat, and after a closer look, he found that the defenders on the city wall could not stop the Great Wei soldiers from filling the moat with bows and arrows alone.
So Cheng Yu directly ordered two Shenwei artillery squads to bombard the south city gate by salvo.
After three consecutive salvos of fire from the Shenwei cannon at the South Gate of Dahan Mountain Fortress, the South Gate finally collapsed!
Behind the city gate, the iron solid projectiles fired by the Shenwei cannon, the people who were bombarded with broken bones, the speed of filling the south city gate was not as fast as the bombardment speed of the Shenwei cannon!
"The South Gate is broken! Ditch the shield cart and fill the moat with all your might! ”
Jiang Wei, who was in the middle of the Great Wei soldiers who attacked the South City Gate, after seeing the South City Gate collapse, shouted an order to the Great Wei soldiers who were transporting dirt sacks.
