At the same time, hundreds of projectiles roared with an unbeatable momentum.

"Hide."

Bang bang bang!

The projectile smashed again, but fortunately, with the experience of dodging the artillery, the casualty rate this time was not large, but more than a dozen people were destroyed under the projectile.

Whoosh!

The cannonball volleyed in the air and smashed down hard.

Rumble!

Two thousand shells fell into the artillery array and exploded.

Suddenly, a deafening sound resounded, and a large area of smoke rose up, mixed with the thief army being blown away, how tragic the scene was.

As a result, the thieves had no time to care about the artillery, and they hid one after another.

"Good bang!" Li Zhao looked at this scene with a telescope and screamed with joy.

"Keep banging me! Completely ruined artillery! ”

Artillery is a siege weapon, if it is not destroyed at the first time, the walls of the eastern city will not be able to withstand a few bombardments, and it will collapse sooner or later, and he cannot see this happening.

What's more, artillery is the main means of attack of the thief army, and destroying it is equivalent to half of the victory.

This is the plan to go out of the city last night, this is the best time, and the anti-aircraft guns have a long range, even if the thieves have more artillery, they can't help them.

It's a sure win!

"Ho ho ho!"

The first attempt at anti-aircraft gun shooting, and the effect was very remarkable, the soldiers were excited, their hands moved faster, and another round of shells was ready.

The artillery shells brought are only 6,000, and one round of fire will consume 2,000, which means that the anti-aircraft artillery attacks are only three rounds, and if three rounds cannot destroy the artillery, then the next situation is very unfavorable.

Luckily, the first shot was very successful, and if nothing goes wrong, the second shot can be destroyed, and then you can clean up the mess.

Just as it was about to be launched, the scout came to report.

"Report to the general, I have found that there is a thief army in the rear, and they are coming this way, and," said the scout, with a look of horror, "they have artillery. ”

"What?" Li Zhao was startled and hurriedly asked, "How many people are there?" How many artillery? ”

"The subordinates don't dare to approach, it is estimated that there are thousands of troops and hundreds of artillery?"

"How many hundreds?" Li Zhao's face changed.

The first few hundred artillery pieces have not been killed, and the next few hundred are coming, which is completely different from what was expected.

A few thousand people are nothing, but a few hundred artillery pieces are different, they are long-range firers, and the slightest mistake can put them in danger.

"Where have they been?"

This is a question that must be known, if the thief army has not yet arrived, you can still retreat, if you get close, there is no possibility of retreat, only desperate.

"I'm stepping into one."

"One mile? It's not good, hurry up. ”

Yili is within the range of the tiger squatting and running, and if he doesn't walk again, he will only face a two-sided attack.

"General, why are you afraid of them, we have weapons, just do it." The previous Commander was on the rise, retorting.

Indeed, the battle was rising in front, and the general called to withdraw, and at this moment it was also rising, and withdrew, and this battle was very aggrieved.

"Don't talk nonsense, get out of here!"

Just as everyone was about to evacuate, another scout suddenly came to report.

"General, there are also a large number of thieves on the left, and they are encircling this side, and there are artillery."

"What?" Li Zhao was shocked again, "How many?" ”

"Thousands of troops, hundreds of artillery."

Hundreds of artillery pieces again.

There were thieves in front, in the rear, on the left, and on the right where the thieves' army was, which means that they were besieged.

Obviously, he came prepared, and he fell for the thief army's plan.

"Zhang Liang, it must be Zhang Liang."

Li Zhao roared, but tried his best to keep himself calm.

During the Eastern Tour, Zhang Liang suffered two losses, and he became shrewd and came up with a way to restrain the machine gun.

While secretly praising Zhang Liang, he became anxious.

At this moment, there are still 4,000 anti-aircraft artillery shells left in the 2,000 army, and they can fire two rounds, and there are 5,000 grenades, which is chicken ribs at such a distance, and the bullets of the machine guns are enough, but it is obvious that the thief army is on guard and will not work for the time being.

In other words, if you can't make a right choice at this moment, you will be embattled, even if you can break through with advanced weapons, you will be very passive, and there will be casualties.

Two thousand elites are rare, and he can't let the elites he has worked so hard to train hurt.

But at this moment, there is no way to avoid casualties, and now the only way is to rush out and break through with the least losses.

"General, what should I do?"

A dozen centurions stood up and stared at Li Zhao tightly.

Li Zhao was stunned and roared: "Since they are playing embattled, come on!" The voice was heroic, and it hit the hearts of the soldiers.

As for what it meant to be embattled, they ignored it, and with this sentence, the hearts of the soldiers boiled.

With advanced weapons but to cringe, they are very aggrieved, at this moment, they want to vent out, they are not aggrieved, they want to fight, let the thief army see their horror.

"Keep bombarding these artillery men under the city walls for me, break through from here."

"No!" A dozen centurions shouted in agreement, one by one as if they were at home, and their eyes were directed into the distance.

"Boom, boom."

Suddenly, a thousand cannons roared, with an unrivaled momentum to the front.

Rumble!

A violent explosion sounded ahead, and the sound shook the hearts of the soldiers.

"Rush forward."

At the same time, the artillery in the rear and on the left also roared, and the projectiles were fired, and the impact was very terrifying, smashing large craters one after another where the two thousand elites were standing.

Fortunately, two thousand elites had already rushed out, leaving only a cloud of dust.

"Kill!"

Two thousand elites rushed forward, ignoring the sporadic projectiles fired by the thief army.

On the city wall, Sun Li saw this scene and his heart fluttered.

After two rounds of bombardment, the place where the artillery was located was full of holes, most of the artillery was blown up and could no longer be used, and the thieves also killed a lot, but there were still a small number of thieves resisting in the corner.

But when I saw the general's elite rushing over, I was overjoyed.

The general's outstanding performance in the eastern tour has shocked everyone, and at this moment, the thief army will definitely be destroyed, and the crisis in Xianyang can be resolved, but his joy only lasts for a moment, and he immediately screams in fright.

In the middle of the forest, behind and to the left of the elite army, he saw the trees swaying, and a continuous loud noise came from them.

"Not good, the general is besieged, and the two sides must be the artillery of the thief army."

There are hundreds of artillery under the city, and if the other two sides pass by a few hundred, even if the general has a terrifying weapon, he will be in danger.

"Find out where the 20,000 troops of the thief army are stationed at once?"

"Commander, the scouts are always keeping an eye on the movements of the 20,000 thief army, they are still stationed, and they have no intention of launching a large army."

When Sun Li heard this, he looked into the distance fiercely, then moved to the city, and said fiercely: "A hundred grenadiers are ready, gather immediately, and support the general." ”

"Open the gates."

Sun Li personally led a hundred soldiers and rushed out of the city gate with a grenade in his hand.

"Regardless of life or death, we must destroy the remnants of the thief army as soon as possible and welcome the general into the city."

This is the only way to save the general.

"No!"

The 100th Army looked at death as if it were home, clenching the grenade tightly in his hand, and his eyes were full of fierceness.

"Kill!"

A hundred troops rushed over and ran a hundred feet.

The artillery of the thief army is only more than 100 zhang away from the city gate, and it can be thrown into the thief army when it rushes here.

At this moment, the remnants of the thief army were hiding under the iron plate to dodge the two thousand elite bullets, and they couldn't even raise their heads, and they couldn't care about the sneak attack behind them.

"Throw me hard, aim and throw."

The centurion let out a roar, and suddenly a hundred ignited grenades were thrown out, rumbling.

The power of the grenade was not inferior to that of the cannonball, and it immediately blew up the remnants of the thief army.

At this time, two thousand elites also rushed in.

"General, we're here for help."

Li Zhao looked at the hundred people, nodded affirmatively, and swept his eyes over hundreds of artillery pieces, some of which had been blown up, but some of which were usable.

"Are you going to shoot?"

Ask for the first time.

The thief army was destroyed, and a small number of artillery pieces were left, and there were a hundred people in it at the moment, and it was wasted if it was not needed.

However, after asking, they felt that it was redundant, and it was impossible for them to open fire when they saw artillery for the first time.

Just as they were about to return to the city, a man suddenly stood up and said, "General, I might." ”

This man's name is Ah Niu, a young man, his eyesight is better than ordinary people, and at the moment when he saw the thief army firing the cannon, he deeply remembered the operation of the cannon.

Li Zhao glanced at Ah Niu in surprise, showing joy, "Very good, you immediately teach everyone how to fire the cannon, fire at the thief army as soon as possible, and be sure to stop them for an hour." ”

"No!" Ah Niu nodded, and under the leadership of the centurion, a hundred people rushed to the artillery.

Ah Niu relied on his superb memory to explain the method of firing the cannon of the thief army to everyone, and then they each found a usable cannon and operated it.

"General, what about us?"

Li Zhao stared at the dense forest that was constantly bombarded by the thief army, pointed to the other side and said, "Since they have an iron plate to block the machine gun, let's copy it from the back!" Let's see how fast they turn the artillery or how fast our bullets are. ”

"Good!" The twenty centurions applauded in unison.

"And." Li Zhao pulled a soldier over, "You go back to the city and let Sun Li prepare anti-aircraft guns, and when the time comes, you will bombard me with all my might." ”

"Tell them that there are only 20,000 thieves in the army, and 10,000 are the artillerymen who are surrounding us."

That's his guess.

At that time, I really saw that there were 30,000 thieves in the city, and just now two teams of thousands of people appeared at once, and they must have sent 10,000 people to control the artillery.

That is, the biggest trouble at the moment is artillery, not 20 thousand troops.

In fact, as long as the artillery is eliminated, 20,000 troops are not afraid, and 20,000 people will not be able to capture Dongcheng at all.

"No!"

The soldier immediately ran to the city gates.

"Fire!" Seeing that the 100th Army was almost operational, Li Zhao ordered them to open fire.

The 100th Army immediately lit the fuse, and after a loud bang, the projectile was fired.

"At this moment, while their attention is on the artillery, we immediately outflank them from the left."

"Spread out, make sure they can't eat and walk around."

The twenty-hundred-captain nodded, and led the people away quietly.

On the city wall, the soldiers came to Sun Li and reported: "Commander, the general order, immediately prepare anti-aircraft guns, suitable for cooperating with the general to blow up the attack of the thief army." ”

"Anti-aircraft guns?" Sun Li was shocked, he had already transferred the anti-aircraft gunners away, how could he blow up the thief army.

"Immediately inform the general that his subordinates have found that the 10,000 troops of the thief army have disappeared, lest they attack the north gate."

The soldier smiled and said the general's words.

Sun Li suddenly ordered someone to go to the north gate to transfer back a thousand gunners.

At this moment, in the dense forest, two armies are outflanking this side, and the artillery is bombarding without money, and how many big trees are being destroyed.

The leader is none other than Wu Guang and another commander, Zhao Ke.

It was Zhang Liang's strategy for them to lead the army to secretly appear in the rear, so to prevent Li Zhao's appearance, and sure enough, as Zhang Liang predicted, Li Zhao really made people sneak attack in the back, so there was the scene just now.

At this moment, the two armies were in a division, and the troops were two miles away, and in front of them was their own artillery, but the artillery bombarded them without mercy at all.

"Brother Wu, presumably the vanguard artillery has been destroyed."

Zhao Ke stared and said regretfully, but he couldn't see a trace of anger.

"Hmm!" Wu Guang nodded, pinched his sleeves and found a place to sit down, looking very grinning, "It's a pity, the military advisor's plan is good, but Li Zhao's big killer weapon is too powerful, and he still escaped." ”

Zhao Ke nodded.

Since the vanguard artillery was destroyed, Li Zhao must have fled back to the city, and it would be difficult to destroy it.

However, they didn't pity it for long, originally the military division's approach was just a precaution, at this moment Li Zhao was driven away, and there was no threat in the future, so they could boldly attack the city.

With almost a thousand cannons, they didn't believe they couldn't knock down the walls.

"It's fine!" Zhao Ke waved his hand indifferently and laughed, "Let's attack at the same time, blast through the city wall, and catch Li Zhao again at that time, the result will not be the same." ”

"Haha! What Brother Zhao said is that we will break through the city wall and take Xianyang as soon as possible. ”

The two armies moved and advanced towards Xianyang.

"But blast those eyesores first."

The thing that Zhao Ke said was the one hundred troops that were bombarding here.

"Don't worry, let them do useless work first, and when the artillery is exhausted, we can break it with one more shot."

Zhao Ke walked out, waved his hand and said disdainfully.

This is one of the arrangements of the military division, the vanguard artillery only attracts the attention of the Qin army, and there is not much gunpowder equipped, which is also to prevent the artillery from being robbed, but to attack themselves.

And the focus is on their two armies, they are the main force in the bombardment of Xianyang.

As long as the gunpowder of the looted artillery is exhausted, they can break it without much effort.

"That's it! It doesn't hurt to wait. ”

The artillery firing of the 100th Army was still going on, and they knew that there was no way to take the thief army with such a bombardment, but their task was not to destroy the thief, but to delay time, and as long as the general was bought enough time, their task was completed.

Half an hour later, the artillery bombardment in front became more and more sparse, from dozens to dozens, and then to a few sporadic ones, and the gunpowder was consumed quickly.

"Haha! Presumably it's time. Zhao Ke smiled evilly, and then ordered his hundreds of artillery pieces to move forward, and then fired.

"Oh no, they're going to shoot." Seeing the actions of the thief army, Ah Niu hurriedly found the centurion, and the centurion hurriedly asked everyone to retreat.

The artillery was almost exhausted, and there was only so much time they could delay.

"General, the last general has done his best, I hope you can succeed."
