More than 80,000 troops completed the assembly at six o'clock in the morning and arrived at the city of Tiandu at seven o'clock.

The defenders of the city noticed the arrival of the army from a long distance, and there was no way not to pay attention.

More than 80,000 troops marched in formation, and the sound was comparable to a monstrous tsunami, the ground shook, and insects and birds flew in fright.

He Yiming personally sat on the defense line in the east of the city, and when he saw that the army was approaching a range of 1,000 meters, he immediately ordered the defenders of the city to release arrows.

The crossbowmen were already ready, and as soon as they received the order, they released the bowstring.

"Woohoo!"

The black-pressed crossbow bolts shot overwhelmingly and fell after flying for nearly a kilometer.

Although there was still a short distance between the army, it still hindered the army's path.

Pan Meng, who was dressed in a red dress, appeared in the city, looking at the black head in the distance, and her pretty face became extremely dignified.

"Madame!"

He Yiming bowed and saluted, then looked at the army outside the city, and said, "He Mou just made a visual inspection, and there are nearly 100,000 troops outside the city!" ”

"One hundred thousand troops!"

These words smashed into Pan Meng's heart like a sledgehammer, and she muttered to herself: "Is this the mobilization of all the soldiers and horses that can be mobilized in Lingzhou?" ”

Last night, she was also curious about why Wang Cheng didn't bring people to raid Tiandu City, but now it seems that she has reorganized the army, and she has no intention of raiding, and wants to use the army to destroy them.

"Madame......"

As soon as the crane was about to speak, he was somewhat uneasy in the face of the attack of 100,000 troops.

After all, he is just a disciple of the sect, even if he has led some people to carry out tasks before, but the number is not many, and the one he brought the most is the last time, but it is also 20,000 horses against 3,000, how have you ever seen an army of 100,000?

Pan Meng looked calm on the surface, but she was actually flustered in her heart.

100,000 troops!

That's an army of 100,000!

Just with these soldiers and horses in Tiandu City, can they really stop it?

At this moment, a cavalryman stepped out of the army, followed by two others.

The two men carried an extra-large brass horn and came to the cavalryman.

The cavalryman cleared his throat, and then began to shout: "Listen, people in the city, I am Wu Erhu, the lieutenant of the Imperial Forest Army, the descendant of the Marquis of Anyuan, and the modern court is talking to you. ”

"We call on you to end the resistance in a peaceful way, a decision that is in your best interest and that of your soldiers. We are ready to forgive you, and we promise to treat you humanely as long as you lay down your arms. ”

Wu Erhu has a loud voice, full of qi and blood, and is a martial artist in the Dacheng realm, and his voice is clearly transmitted to the ears of the people in the city through the copper loudspeaker.

"We know your pain, your struggles. At this time, choosing to surrender will not only give you a respite, but it will also provide you with a path to reunite with your family. Don't let the war continue to ravage your lives......"

When the defenders of the city heard this, they couldn't help but be moved.

Most of them were coerced, and they didn't know the real situation at all, so they became thieves in a daze, and they didn't really insist on rebelling against the court.

Pan Meng saw that everyone's eyes were scattered, and realized that if he shouted from the opposite person like this, the army's morale would be dispersed.

She pushed the crossbowman beside her away, and then personally controlled the Iron Arm Divine Crossbow to aim at Wu Erhu.

Then she let go of her bowstring, and the spear-like bolt burst into a stream of light.

Wu Erhu was shouting vigorously, and he didn't notice that someone was shooting arrows at him hundreds of meters away.

Besides, the speed of the crossbow bolt was too fast, and by the time he found it, it was only a few dozen meters away from him.

"It's over!!"

There was only one thought left in Wu Erhu's mind, and he couldn't move stiffly, more precisely, his thinking had stagnated.

At the last moment, a huge force suddenly came from his body, which directly pulled him off the horse.

"Bell!!"

After the crossbow arrow was shot a hundred and ten meters, a tiger-headed golden spear knocked it away.

Wang Cheng sat on Qinglei's back, holding the tiger-headed Zhan golden gun in his hand, his face expressionless.

Wu Erhu, who had picked up a life, hurriedly got up from the ground, ran to Wang Cheng in a panic, didn't even want a horse, and saluted again and again: "Thank you Junhou for coming to the rescue!" ”

Wang Cheng nodded and said, "Stand down!" ”

In fact, it was originally arranged by him to persuade Wu Erhu to surrender, and he couldn't let Wu Erhu die in vain.

He glanced at Pan Meng, who was dressed in red on the city, waved his hand, and said, "Siege!" ”

With his order, the ten catapults in the rear were pushed to the front by a group of armor soldiers.

Behind the ten catapults there were twenty flatbed caraps, each of which was very long, almost twenty meters, with a smooth groove in the middle.

General Zhu, who was standing in the city, saw this thing, and his whole face changed.

These flatbeds are not sideways, they are the lathes he built single-handedly!

Behind the lathe, there are two-wheeled carts, on which are placed a tube shelf composed of bamboo tubes, and spears are inserted in the tube shelf.

There are a huge number of these two wheeled cars, at least thousands, neatly arranged.

Behind these carts were the cavalry that was ready to charge, and after the cavalry was a dense mass of infantry.

Siegers, pikemen, heavy shieldmen, axemen...... All classes have arrived.

Among these infantry, there are also a large number of siege equipment such as ladders, rushing carts, and nest carts.

The previous formation was not expanded, and the distance was so far away, the people in the city could not see it very clearly, but now after the formation was arranged, the strong sense of oppression made the people in the city breathe faster.

"The day before yesterday, I attacked Anping County, and there were no ladders and rushing cars, but today I brought them all!"

General Zhu's expression was solemn, and he realized that Wang Cheng had really decided to attack the city.

When attacking Anping County before, these siege equipment did not appear on the battlefield, but these things have always been in the hands of the Lingzhou army.

The Tiger Hill Battalion is a complete battalion, like armor and siege equipment, ready at all times.

After Pan Meng saw the formation that was set up, he could no longer maintain his calm, and directly ordered the arrows to be released.

"Woohoo!"

A large number of crossbow arrows flew out of the city, truly overwhelming, and shot at the army outside the city.

Wang Cheng also ordered: "Release!" ”

The catapult was the first to be launched, and the large stones weighing dozens of catties flew over thousands of kilometers and headed straight for the defenders of the city.

The second was the gunpowder jar fired by the lathe, which shot like a cannonball at the city.

Then there were the soldiers standing behind the carts, all of whom lit the fuses in the bamboo tubes.

"Whoosh!"

As the fuse burned out, spears strapped to gunpowder flew out.

This is the "rocket", which is the result of Wang Cheng and Wu Feilong with a group of craftsmen for half a day.

Although it was 108,000 miles worse than the rocket artillery he was familiar with, it was a dimensionality reduction attack on this battlefield.

These rockets were obviously launched later, but they arrived at their destination a few steps ahead of the iron-armed crossbow on the opposite side.

After all, the Iron Arm Divine Crossbow only gained an initial velocity, but the rocket had a lot of time to accelerate, so that the average speed of the rocket was much faster than that of the Iron Arm Divine Crossbow, and the same distance was naturally the rocket to reach the end first.

"Doot toot!"

"Bang bang bang!"

……

The first wave of rockets numbered in thousands, some of which hit the city without touching the fur of the city walls, and some of which flew high and flew out of the city.

There were also some that shot to the city impartially, but not many.

A few of the defenders of the city were unlucky, and they did not dodge in time, and were passed through the chest by rockets, and everyone was carried into the air, and finally smashed down the city.

General Zhu and several martial arts powerhouses dodged in time and were not hit by rockets.

However, when they saw that these rockets were actually inserted into the city tower behind them, their faces changed in unison.

General Zhu looked at the spear nailed to the city wall and exclaimed, "What is this?" How can it be so powerful? ”

There is a distance of thousands of meters from the city to the Lingzhou army outside the city, and the lethality of the Iron Arm Divine Crossbow is much weaker, and this thing has such a strong lethality after flying thousands of meters.

In his impression, the range of the Iron Arm Crossbow was the largest, a little farther than the catapult, and only the lathe he created could match it.

Where did this thing come from?

At that moment, several spherical jars flew over their heads and smashed straight into the tower.

General Zhu immediately changed color and shouted, "Hide!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, several spherical jars filled with gunpowder smashed on the tower.

"Boom, boom!"

The city wall was blown out of large craters in an instant, and the entire city tower shook, as if it was about to collapse.

The ears of everyone around were "buzzing" and nothing could be heard.

"Brush, brush!"

This was followed by a large number of crockpot fragments shooting in all directions, like throwing knives.

Many of the guards on the tower were hit by splinters and died on the spot.

Only General Zhu and a few martial arts sects had a protective body true element, and they were not injured after being hit, and other first-class masters such as martial artists were more or less injured.

However, before they could come to their senses, several large rocks smashed at them.

The catapult attack has arrived!

After dozens of catties of boulders flew in a parabola, they contained huge kinetic energy, hitting the city and smashing the brick walls to pieces.

At this point, the offensive finally stopped, and General Zhu and others finally had a chance to breathe.

General Zhu was discouraged, angry and annoyed, and regretted that he had no chance to use the siege weapons he made, because he couldn't use them in the city.

Now, damn it, all this stuff is used to beat their own people.

On the other side, the defenders of Lingzhou, who were standing at the forefront, also died dozens of people and were shot by the iron-armed divine crossbow.

When it comes to the number of Iron Arm Divine Crossbows, Ninghou Mansion has more control, and there are thousands of them on the east city alone, and there are also on the other three cities.

In fact, the people on both sides were just trying to fight, and it was not a full-scale battle.

After all, long-range siege equipment such as iron-armed crossbows, catapults, lathes, etc., need to be calibrated.

Wang Cheng waved the command flag, ordered ten catapults and twenty lathes to aim at the city tower, and then ordered the "rocket artillery" behind to scatter and aim at the parapet wall on the city.

"Put!!"

With his order, the catapult and the lathe launched an attack on the tower.

With this adjustment, catapults and lathes finally have a higher level of accuracy.

First spherical jars filled with gunpowder bombarded the towers, and then large boulders smashed down on them.

With a history of hundreds of years, this tower is not unfortunate, but it cannot withstand such a wild and indiscriminate bombardment, and it is still gunpowder that blows it up.

"Boom, boom!"

"Bang bang bang!"

This tower, which has not experienced any war, suddenly became "stormy" and crumbling.

Soon there was no one on the city tower, and Pan Meng, He Yiming, and General Zhu all hid behind the daughter wall.

Feeling the vibration of the city, Pan Meng hurriedly ordered everyone: "Release the arrows!" ”

So all the bows and crossbows in the city loosened their bowstrings, and thousands of crossbow arrows were overwhelmingly shot at the Lingzhou army.

Wang Cheng also no longer kept it, and ordered all the rocketeers to light the fuse.

With a whistling sound, thousands of spears shot out first, followed by a second wave, then a third...... Wave after wave, not even a second between the front and back.

Originally, the Lingzhou army was worried about the lack of firepower, but after seeing the spears in the sky shoot out, everyone was so shocked that their mouths couldn't close.

"This ......"

Wu Feilong's face was shocked, in fact, he knew the details of rockets better than anyone else, because he was one of the makers of these rockets.

Yesterday, Wang Cheng asked him to leave with a team of people and horses to go to Tongling Town, and pulled out all the saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal in Tongling Town, as well as those craftsmen, who were busy making this thing in the middle of the night.

So he knew something about the rocket, but it was precisely because he knew something that he was even more shocked.

"This is really a big killing weapon, ten or a hundred times more powerful than all siege weapons!"

He now finally understood what Wang Cheng had told him before, and why he had asked him to keep it strictly a secret.

This thing is placed on the battlefield, what Black Hawk Army, what Condor Shooter, what Golden Sword Guard, how many kills.

It really came to that point, under the Martial Sect, whether you are a Zhou Tian Realm martial artist or a Qi and Blood Realm martial artist, there is no difference, anyway, it is death.

A game-changing thing has appeared, and this thing must not be in the hands of the enemy.

Of course, the enemy can imitate, but definitely not up to the power of these rockets. Because only Wang Cheng knows the secret recipe of gunpowder for propelling the rocket, it is far from being comparable to ordinary black powder.

It was too late, it was fast, in just a few seconds, more than 20,000 rockets had already been launched, and they had hit the city earlier than the Iron Arm Divine Crossbow, and the number was still surging.

Even though some of the rockets were close or far away, many of them still hit the city.

A large number of defenders were shot, and even the iron-armed crossbows that were mounted on the city were destroyed.

Pan Meng and the others were so suppressed that they didn't dare to raise their heads, and curled up behind the daughter wall, for fear of being shot.

"Again?"

General Zhu suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, the last time Wang Cheng used this method to suppress the defenders of Anping County, they couldn't raise their heads, and then Wang Cheng personally led the cavalry to charge.

If Qinglong hadn't dragged Wang Cheng and freed him up, the three thousand heavy cavalry would have been killed by Wang Cheng.

Is the same thing going to happen again?

Sure enough, as soon as this thought came to him, a sound of horses' hooves sounded in his ears.

……
