Zhou Xian nodded and said, "A single Hongyi cannon is naturally not successful, but what if a hundred cannons are fired in a salvo together?" Last night, I already transferred all the red cannons at the other city gates, you can go and calibrate it now, just aim at that handsome flag, and kill the arrogance of the thieves! ”

The cannons of this era are just like firecrackers, and the accuracy is simply touching.

But in the same way, the firearm can rely on the dense firepower network to improve the hit rate, and the Hongyi cannon can naturally also do it, as long as the hundred cannons are fired at once, and the firepower is covered, the lethality is also amazing.

Zhao Laofu looked suddenly enlightened, and said in surprise: "Okay! This method is good, a hundred shots are fired, it is Meng, there will always be a few hits! ”

As he spoke, he rushed to proofread, and even forgot to return the clairvoyant mirror to Zhou Xian.

Zhou Xian didn't mean to stop him, after all, the clairvoyant mirror was more useful in his hands, but he still laughed and scolded, "You cunning one-eyed old man, take my clairvoyant mirror, if you can't hit, go back and dig out the feces for me!" Dig up the city's dung! ”

"Hehe, just wait and see, my colt!"

Zhao Laofu laughed and walked away without looking back.

The scene of the two frolicking made the atmosphere in the city a lot easier, and the soldiers defending the city grinned one by one.

Chongzhen on the side had been holding a clairglass mirror to observe the movements outside the city, and his face was very bitter: "I see that those thieves have begun to fill in the trenches, shall I wait...... Should a few shots be fired to stop the speed at which they fill the trenches? ”

"Your Majesty is not in a hurry, it is better to wait for them to get close to the city wall, and I will use the trebuchet later."

Zhou Xian shook his head, and then explained: "I just discussed with General Li and General Wang, and came up with a new set of strategies for defending the city, and those gunpowder are used for other purposes, if it is not necessary, it should not be wasted. ”

As he spoke, he said aloud to the soldiers and people around him: "You are all hidden, and the army will definitely set fire and arrows first...... I'll hide first, wait for them to get close to the wall, and then give them a great deal of suffering!" ”

"Yes."

The hearts of the people were reassured, and they answered loudly.

Chokew-

Zhou Xian calculated the siege equipment that was getting closer and closer, and finally pulled out the saber on his waist and shouted: "Listen to my orders, No. 1 catapult, put ~!" ”

Under the head of the city, it is a simple catapult made after dismantling countless beams in the city overnight, and there are hundreds of them after being lined up, and there are catapults in the back.

Squeaks—

Whew-

The counterweight arm was rubbing in a sound, and the net pocket was thrown out from the bottom, and in an instant, a stone of more than forty catties quickly crossed the city and flew out of the city.

Tang Tong took the Ming army and brought the equipment, and carefully pressed to a hundred meters away from the moat.

Suddenly, there was a whistling sound overhead, which frightened everyone to the ground quickly.

These people, not long ago, were still eating imperial food and enjoying the treatment of the Ming army, and after they voted for Li Zicheng, they immediately became brave and rushed to the forefront.

Boom –

The stone hit the ground, splashing a cloud of dirt, and then rolled to the side with great momentum, hitting a large patch, but there were no casualties.

Tang Tong got up and patted the dirt on his body, raised his sword and scolded: "Get up the damn for me and keep going"

Huhuhuhu-

Huhuhuhu-

Huhuhuhu-

But then there was another dense whistling sound, and this time the stones flew out of the city like locusts.

The stone bullets rained down, smashing in the middle of the surrendering army without any drop.

After the trebuchets were adjusted, the accuracy of the projectiles was not to mention, but the landing point of each stone projectile was no more than two meters, which was much better than the accuracy of those guns.

Boom Boom Boom –

Crackling -

In an instant, more than a dozen marrying instruments in the army were smashed to pieces.

As for the troops around them, before they could get up, they were swept away by debris, killing and wounding dozens of people, and even worse, they were hit by stones and turned into a ball of flesh.

This time, without Tang Tong's angry scolding, he jumped up one by one, threw away his damn armor and shield, and ran back desperately.

When Tang Tong saw this, he immediately became angry.

Catching up with a few of these soldiers, swinging a knife is slashing, and scolding in his mouth: "Li Laiheng is behind Lao Tzu to supervise the battle, and if you flee back now, you will be sent to death, if you want to live, you will rush to Lao Tzu, as long as the city is broken, you will have your life!" ”

Whew-

Poof-

Tang Tong wanted to continue slashing and killing the deserters, but at this moment, a cold arrow shot from the city, piercing his head, and blood gushed out.

Puff –

Tang Tong's pupils dilated, he knelt on his knees, and fell completely.

The soldiers were so frightened that their souls flew away, and they fled faster one by one.

At the head of the city, Chongzhen looked at Zhou Xian, who had just put down the iron bow, and couldn't help but praise: "The archery skills of the virtuous son-in-law are really amazing!" ”

The morale of the other soldiers was also greatly boosted, and they cheered one after another: "The horse master is mighty~!! ”

At the same time, the west gate where Li Ruolian was sitting seemed to have made achievements, and there was a shout of mountains and tsunamis, "Wansheng!" Wansheng! ……”

When Chongzhen heard this, he immediately picked up the clairvoyant mirror and looked towards the west gate.

However, he saw that Wang Chengyun and his troops were also accurately projected by trebuchets, and the end was the same as Tang Tong, they were all beaten and scattered and fled.

However, these two teams of fleeing troops encountered Li Laiheng's battalion, which pushed the artillery.

The old men under Li Laiheng's hands used to coerce ordinary people to take the lead, and now they have become veterans, but now when they saw the soldiers scattering and fleeing, they immediately ordered the bow battalion to release arrows without Li Laiheng's command.

"All back!"

"Death to those who trespass~!"

Seeing that Li Laiheng's men were so ruthless, the two surrendered troops panicked, so they could only retreat, risking their lives to push the equipment forward.

I was afraid that I had scolded the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of Tang Tong and Wang Chengyun.

Fortunately, Li Laiheng didn't want them all to die, and after the veteran pushed the artillery to the position, he immediately opened fire to cover their trenches.

At the same time, thousands of crossbows and firebolts followed, constantly firing at the city.

"Hurry up, fire the cannon as soon as you set it up!"

"The one who fires first will be rewarded with ten taels of silver!"

Li Laiheng rode his horse around the artillery battalion, urging the gunners to drive the cannons, and even did not hesitate to set rewards and incentives.

The veterans riveted their strength one by one, and in a rush of chaos, they finally opened the first shot.

Boom –

With a loud bang, the fire bomb was like a fireball, hitting the city at a terrifying speed.

The two surrendering armies, which were still frightened, heard this artillery bombardment, and their morale was greatly shaken, and the speed of their advance was much faster.

The crossbow fire bolt in the back was even more powerless, and at the same time shouted: "Kill!" Kill!! Kill~!!! ”

Bang –

The artillery hit the city wall impartially in the loud sound that shook the sky, although the city head was still far away, and the soldiers at the city head shrank their necks one by one.

Even Chongzhen was taken aback.

This is the power of the Hongyi cannon, which not only has a long range, but also has a terrifying momentum, which can not only boost morale, but also deter the enemy.
