Half an hour later, the army of thieves marched forward and approached the eastern city, and the crossbowmen, archers, and infantry were marching into a mile.

At the foot of the hill, thousands of artillery moved hundreds of artillery pieces close to the city gate, one and a half miles, one and a half miles, and the distance was getting closer and closer.

On the post, Zhang Liang, who had watched all this, smiled with satisfaction, and then his eyes fell on the dense place behind the artillery, revealing a contemptuous smile.

On the city wall, the Qin soldiers all found out about this scene and became nervous.

"Pass the order, take the battle, be sure to guard the city gate, and there must be no slackness."

Ten thousand generals, Sun Li, stood at the head of the city, looking at the artillerymen who had already seen the figure.

In front of the artillerymen were a number of tall things, this thing had a long cylinder, very strange, under the cylinder, six thieves followed, they carried things in their hands, and looked very heavy.

Looking to the other side, there was a faint movement of the army, slowly approaching.

"Report, the thief army is a mile away."

Sun Li's face was solemn, and his eyes were blazing.

"Report, the thief army has moved something unknown, it's very strange."

The scouts reported.

Sun Li nodded, he also saw it, and suddenly the words of the general when he left echoed in his mind: If you encounter something like a cylinder, remember to be vigilant, do not approach, and let the grenadier prepare.

The general told him that the thing with the handle and the lead was a grenade, and that it could kill the enemy by lighting the fuse and throwing it, but it was not far away, and it could only be used when the thieves were close.

"Reported, the unknown thing has been pushed to within one hundred and fifty feet, and stopped."

Scouts report again.

Sun Li clenched his fists, and his whole heart hung up, but he didn't panic, and hurriedly shouted: "Withdraw, everyone retreats a hundred steps." ”

"Grenade preparation."

"Ho ho ho!"

Tens of thousands of troops shouted loud slogans, and although they avoided the war, they were also extremely loud.

After a few breaths, another scout came to report, "Report, the army of thieves has gathered in a network to this side, and 10,000 troops are missing." ”

When Sun Li heard this, his brows furrowed, and he shouted: "If you probe again, you must find out their whereabouts and report back as soon as possible." ”

"No!" The scout sped away.

Sun Li walked to the head of the city and looked into the distance.

Sure enough, the army of thieves was scattering, a team of 100 people, approaching this side, and estimating its number, there were absolutely no 30,000 troops.

"What are the 10,000 troops going to do? Do you want to raid the North Gate? As soon as he thought of this, his face changed, and he hurriedly looked to the north, where there were many forests, and he couldn't see the real situation, and his eyes couldn't reach it.

"I just received the news that the army of the North Gate has been led to the southwest city by Deputy General Zhang, there must be emptiness, if the thief army sneaks up, the city will be broken."

"No, you have to guard against it."

No matter whether the thief army will attack the north gate or not, he can't let the north gate be empty, the current army is too small, it is impossible to send a large army to garrison the north gate, but Dongcheng still has the terror weapon given by the general, and at this moment, only the terror weapon can hold the north gate.

Sun Li's gaze swept over the 1,000 artillerymen, and then looked at the approaching thief army, and ordered: "A thousand gunners immediately rush to the north gate with anti-aircraft guns, and if the thieves invade, they will bombard me, and be sure to guard the north gate and wait for rescue." ”

"Also, leave the grenades and fire sickles in your hands and give them to the others."

"No!" The gunner listened to the order, took out the grenades from the package and stacked them together, and hurried to the north gate under the leadership of a thousand generals.

Next, Sun Li ordered a hundred people to pick up the grenades, and simply taught them how to operate them, and then fought against them.

"Report, the unknown weapons of the thief army are being prepared, and it is necessary to start attacking the city."

The scout reported as soon as possible.

As soon as he finished speaking, there were several loud noises on the ground, and at the same time as the sound came out, Sun Li, who was still at the head of the city, saw several fires coming out of the place where the thieves were stationed, and suddenly a black object erupted from the cylinder, like a stone in a trebuchet, fired under the projection of the soldiers.

But this black object didn't need any external force, and the black object exploded, and the momentum was terrifying.

"It's really terrifying, if it weren't for the general's reminder, our army would have been at a loss and would have suffered heavy casualties."

Sun Li didn't take a hundred steps back, his eyes were fixed on the place of the artillery, and he couldn't miss the battle situation.

The black object rose into the sky and smashed into it with an irresistible force.

"Bang bang bang!"

The black object smashed against the wall, making a muffled sound, and the city wall also shook, and the place where it was smashed was dented, and the cracks in the surrounding walls were frequent, gradually expanding to all sides.

"This is artillery! The power is really good. ”

"But," Sun Li was shocked.

If the bombardment continues like this, the wall will be cracked, and the wall will collapse, and then the thief army will attack, and the eastern city will be broken.

With such artillery, coupled with their large army, he could not hold it at all.

"I hope the general will win by surprise."

As soon as the thought struck, the loud noise suddenly disappeared, and the shaking of the walls stopped.

He was puzzled, and quickly poked his head out to look, and was immediately overjoyed.

In his blurred vision, he saw a group of people sneaking up from behind, and what they were holding in their hands, he couldn't really see it, but that thing seemed to be very terrifying, just a few 'suddenly' times, and a whole army of thieves fell, how terrifying.

"It's the general, haha! The general finally appeared, and the general set out overnight to ambush their artillery. ”

"Soldiers, hurry up, the thief army has been ambushed by the general, let's be ready for battle and ready to support at any time."

A hundred feet below the city wall, the artillery team of the thief army was really attacked, and it was the 2,000 troops led by Li Zhao who sneaked up from behind.

In fact, after Li Zhao led the people out of the city, he did not get too far from the city wall, but let the elites lurk.

The Hidden Technique is an elite training project, and it is very good to do at the moment, even if the thief army passes not far away, it is not detected, and finally a big assault comes.

With such a weapon of victory as a machine gun, the thief army also suffered heavy losses in thousands of artillery, and under the sneak attack from behind, a large area of the rear fell.

This alarm immediately caused the artillerymen to react, and they immediately lay down and hid behind the artillery.

This is the countermeasure designed by Zhang Liang, which is to deal with Li Zhao's terrorist weapon.

"Put the iron plate down and turn the gun head."

There was an order from the commander, and suddenly, sonorous, a thick iron plate was put down under hundreds of artillery, which covered the thief army behind, and at the same time the gun head was also rotated.

This iron plate has been improved to be so hard that even if a bullet hits it, it will not be able to break through the defense.

"It's not good, they are prepared, they must have come to prevent us from waiting." Li Zhao, who was leading two thousand troops to shoot here, saw this situation, and there was a cold sweat behind his back.

After all, the secret of the machine gun was discovered by the thieves, and there was a countermeasure, so it was not easy to deal with it next, and the gun head was twisted to face this side, even with sharp weapons, it was difficult to prevent artillery attacks.

"Quick, withdraw, withdraw to two hundred zhang away." At this moment, it is only 30 zhang away from the thief army, and judging from their attack on the city wall just now, the artillery attack range is about more than 100 zhang, and 200 zhang is not within the range of fire.

And he also saw clearly that this cannon has a unique shape, and under the barrel of the cannon is a tiger-shaped bracket, which is entrenched on the ground like a tiger, standing tall.

If his guess is correct, this is a tiger squatting run.

Tiger squat running shape is unique, but the power is huge, it is a product of the Ming Dynasty, the historical record is Qi Jiguang to resist the Japanese and made, the range of this cannon is about 500 meters, although the range is not far, but if it is within the range, it will face the blow of destruction.

At this moment, their distance is within the range of the tiger's squatting and running, and if they are really bombarded by it, the casualties must be very heavy.

"No, General, although the guns of the thieves are powerful, the weapons we are waiting for are not bad, since the machine guns can't break through, I will blow them up with grenades."

"Don't miss it!"

There is a centurion suggestion.

"Hugh wants to talk nonsense, hurry up!"

It's not that Li Zhao wants to let go of such a great opportunity, but the distance of the grenade throwing is too close, and the current distance can't reach the thief army at all, and the throwing is in vain, and it will give the thief army a chance to take advantage of.

It's not a good strategy to deal with the enemy.

"What are you afraid of, wait for me to lead a hundred people to rush forward and blow them up." The centurion stood up, his face showing valor, and the grenade in his hand was raised.

"Brothers, come with me and blow up the thief."

"Bastard, get out of here!" Li Zhao pulled the centurion past him, kicked him out hard, and dragged him back.

The centurion's idea was a battle against the thieves, but it was a death-defying strategy. The thieves not only had artillery, but also had firebolts in their hands, and the range of firebolts was about fifty to a hundred paces, but the grenades could not reach this range, and I am afraid that they would be hit by the firecrackers before they could rush into the throwing range.

"Evacuate them all."

Two thousand elite were well-trained and departed quickly after receiving the order.

This place is more than 100 meters away from the thief army, and there is still some distance from the range of artillery.

The speed at which the artillery was turned was very fast, and when the thief army saw the Qin army retreating, the heart of the machine gun shock was also relaxed, and the gunpowder was loaded faster.

"Quick, you must leave the range of the artillery within a quarter of an hour, Black Tiger, lead a hundred troops to fire anti-aircraft guns and buy time for everyone."

Li Zhao ordered as he withdrew, and at the same time regretted it in his heart, he was careless.

If the anti-aircraft guns had been fired from a distance of 500 meters at that time, they would not have been passive at this moment, and if it were not for the fact that they could annihilate the artillery at the first time and protect Dongcheng, they would not have faced such a danger.

Of course, he still underestimated the intelligence of the thief army and prepared in advance to deal with machine guns.

But it is useless to regret it, and at this moment I hope that the Black Tiger can buy everyone a quarter of an hour and leave the range of the artillery as soon as possible.

"Swing, load, fire!" The Black Tiger ordered anxiously.

The anti-aircraft guns are all placed in the package behind them, they need to be taken out, and the cannons need to be set up, and the distance is adjusted, this process takes time, and when all this is done, the black tiger finds that the gunners of the thieves have been lit, and they are snoring, and the muzzle of the cannon is facing them.

"It's too late!" The black tiger is in a hurry, and his own cannonballs have not yet been loaded, so if this continues, even if the cannonballs are loaded and fired, even if it will cause losses to the thief army, the hundred armies will definitely be wiped out.

Because at the moment the muzzle of the gun is aimed at them.

"Stop all movement and hide behind a tree."

Rumble!

The artillery made a loud noise, and dozens of terrifying projectiles smashed towards the black tiger and others like thunder, and every angle up and down was black pressure.

"Quick!" The black tiger changed color, rolled over, and landed neatly under a big tree, and quickly lay down.

Whoosh!

The projectile grazed the air, made a thunderous sound, and slammed into the tree, which trembled violently and was in danger of falling.

The black tiger lay on the ground, motionless, but his face was full of boundless anger, because he heard the sound of a cone.

Ahh

Some soldiers were struck and let out a scream.

"Hold on, the general will soon be out of range of the artillery, and then it will be the end of this class of bastards." The black tiger's arms were covered with green tendons, and the blood vessels were swollen due to excessive exertion.

"There is one more round, as long as we survive, we can kill them fiercely, kill them." The Black Tiger heard the rumbling of cannon fire again, followed by more projectiles raining down on him.

The first wave was only dozens, and this wave was hundreds, and the thief army was ruthless to kill them.

Bang bang bang!

There are constantly projectiles smashing on the ground, smashing on tree stumps, continuous attacks, even thick stumps can not resist, and many large trees hiding soldiers have collapsed, revealing their whereabouts.

There were bursts of screams again, and the black tiger bared its teeth, his eyes seemed to be erupting like a volcano, and his pathos came from the bottom of his heart.

"Brothers hold on"

Sweeping hundreds of people, dozens of people have already fallen in a pool of blood, and the tragic gaze looks like despair and pain.

Yes.

The brother died tragically.

The black tiger was like a mad lion, unable to bear the heart-wrenching pain anymore, and suddenly rushed out, looking at the dense artillery shadows in front of him, and hissed: "Kill, kill me, avenge the dead brothers, avenge." ”

"Ahh Adjust the distance, reload the shell, fire. ”

He no longer had any scruples, even if the thieves' artillery was sneering and sparkling.

"Kill!" The remaining dozens of soldiers fiddled angrily, put the cannonball into the chamber, and the next moment the cannonball was fired with a whoosh, heading towards the thief army.

At the same time, the artillery of the thief army rang out, and dozens of projectiles were fired.

"Hide again!" The black tiger was furious, but he could not allow his brothers to be injured any more, and when he shouted, he also threw himself down and rolled under the stump that had already been smashed.

Rumble! Dozens of shells exploded in the camp of the thieves, and the screams were heard one after another, and more than twenty artillery pieces were destroyed, but this was not enough, they still had to bombard.

The general had only three shells to them, and he wanted to destroy as many thieves as possible with the limited number of shells.

"Loaded, fired." Another burst of operations.

The Black Tiger can't care so much anymore, he wants to avenge his brothers, even if he is facing hundreds of artillery.

After speaking, before the shells were fired, he heard a dense whooshing sound from the rear, and he was overjoyed that the general had arrived at the point and launched an attack.

"Brothers, the general has launched an attack, let's withdraw quickly."

This is a wise choice, there is no need for them to hold back the thief army here.

The swishing became denser and denser, and in the air, thousands of black dots soared into the air
