Following.

With the rumbling sound of cannons, everyone also began to wake up from their sleep.

After a week, they also began to adapt to this environment, but today, the cannon sound is particularly dense.

Hearing the sound of the cannon, Duan Ling couldn't help but feel annoyed, and scolded directly: "These bastards, do you just rely on yourself to have artillery? If it weren't for the fact that I didn't have this thing in my hands, I wouldn't have crushed you." ”

Among the Red Phoenix Army, they attach the most importance to the use of firearms, so they are extremely familiar with the use of artillery.

It's a pity that due to the existing conditions, Handan City can't make suitable artillery at all, so Duan Ling had no choice but to choose another method and come up with a rocket car instead of artillery.

And in total, this rocket car is not much cheaper to manufacture than artillery.

But the technology is limited, and now it can only be improvised.

"Gentlemen, go out of the city with me and completely destroy each other. ”

As soon as his hand was raised, Duan Ling took his subordinates out of the city together, preparing to continue to besiege the fort as before, so that it would not always target Handan City.

Of course, the only two remaining rocket cars were also carried by him.

............

"Hmph, has this guy finally left Handan City?"

Seeing Duan Ling leaving, Zhang Jue showed a smug smile.

The strength of that Duan Ling is good, and he naturally knows quite well, if this person continues to stay in Handan City, of course, it is impossible to lead the army to attack, but if the other party leaves Handan City, then he is sure enough to break through Handan and annihilate all the rebels in the city.

"So let's do it now?" Kong Zhen asked.

Zhang Qi replied: "Of course not now. After all, that section of the tomb is not far away, and it is completely possible to take advantage of this time to kill the horse pistol. When the time comes, when I am attacked from behind, how can I support it? You first lead your men and horses and drag this person down. When the time comes, it's my turn. ”

In this battle, we must be able to defeat the opponent with one blow.

Therefore, Zhang Jue did not dare to relax, and wanted to grasp all the changes on the battlefield to ensure his results.

"This, do you have to let me go out in person?"

Kong Zhen looked stunned, but secretly complained.

He was not a general, and he was not familiar with the battle array, and the reason why he supported Zhang Qi was just to use this to set up a line with Mongolia, and he chose to defend the fort just to seek stability and safety.

I didn't expect this so-called Wushou Fort to go out by myself!

Zhang Jue said strangely: "This is natural! You must know that if you defend it for a long time, you will be defeated, and the other party also understands this, don't you understand? Otherwise, why did that Duan Ling attack several times, isn't it just to contain us so that the guards in the city can defend it?"

"Okay. I know. ”

Faced with this situation, Kong Zhenzhi had no choice but to grit his teeth and leave from here, preparing to take his generals and family members to the battlefield to fight with that section of the tomb.

It's just that he recalled the scene of the fierce battle in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

"That guy is no ordinary person, and if I fight him, I'm afraid I won't be able to save my life. I just hope that that person can help me and help me defeat the other party when the time comes. ”

According to patient thinking, Kong Zhen led the generals and the family members to the front of the trench together.

Seeing that the other party had already set up a formation, Kong Zhen drew his long sword, and the long sword pointed at the sky with a proud look: "Everyone listen to my command and attack me!"

The subordinates poured out like a tidal wave, directly towards the rebel army in the distance.

Kong Zhen still stood in place, calmly looking at the battlefield in front of him, examining when he would join it, and then give the other party a fatal blow.

"Oh, I didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to attack?

On the other side, Duan Ling had just set up his position when he saw the army sent by Kong Zhen.

Although he was surprised, he still deployed his subordinates in an orderly manner and began to deal with all this. After such a long battle, his soldiers also knew what they had to do to be able to stop the army in front of them.

The whole army was like a cog, running smoothly, and it also kept the army out of the periphery.

"It's just that why do you think the other party is attacking at this time?" Zheng Qiao felt strange and opened his mouth to ask.

In the quality of a staff officer, he instinctively began to suspect that behind the other party's paradoxical actions, there must be other thoughts.

Duan Ling smiled: "What else can be the reason? Isn't it that the other party can't stay still?"

"Can't stand still?" Zheng Qiao thought about it, and couldn't figure out the meaning behind this action.

The corners of Duan Ling's mouth curled, and he said with mocking words: "It's literal." After such a long stalemate, the opponent could not continue to support it, so he planned to end this battle completely. ”

"What?"

Zheng Qiao was shocked, and his voice became much lower.

"You mean, is the other party going to start a total?"

Thinking of the safety inside Handan City, he felt even more nervous, and said: "If this is the case, then we must hurry back to the city, otherwise we are afraid that it will be bad." ”

Duan Ling replied: "No need. Pointing to the enemy soldiers who were still pestering, he added, "And in this way, do you think we can retreat?" Zheng Qiao was stunned, although he wanted to defend himself, he also understood that retreating at this moment was tantamount to cutting himself off.

Since ancient times, the withdrawal of troops has always been a matter of self-determination.

"Anyway. Let's win the battle in front of us first. As for Handan City, with Zhou Yu here, it will not be lost for a while. Duan Ling patted Zheng Qiao's shoulder and comforted him.

"Okay, I see!"

Zheng Qiao had no choice but to give up the distracting thoughts in his heart, come out of the formation, and began to meet the enemy's attack.

Right now, this is not the time for distraction.

Duan Ling's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Kong Zhen who had not moved in the distance, and muttered: "As for you, do you really think that you can be safe and sound if you are hiding in the rear?" The two rocket cars parked behind him were also shining sharply in the harsh sunlight.

Duan Ling had no doubt that this weapon he had personally created was enough to change the entire battle situation.

............

"Hmm, why hasn't the other side's artillery stopped until now?"

Standing on top of the city, Zhou Yu's eyes were slightly wrinkled, looking at the fort in the distance.

Immediately afterwards, most of the staff, including Wang Shijian, Mao Renfeng, and most of the staff were also here, patrolling the entire city together.

This is Zhou Yu's daily routine, in this way to show his sense of existence, and it can also play a role in stabilizing the morale of the army.

Otherwise, the entire rebel army would have collapsed long ago.

"Boom!"

A cannonball came straight to fat, frightened several people to avoid it, lying on the ground, the cannonball fell ten feet away, although it did not hit directly, but the dust and sand still covered everyone.

But after they stood up and slapped the sand off their bodies, they still looked calm and still stood on the battlefield.

"Alas. Recently, the opponent's firepower has become more and more fierce. If it goes on like this, what should we do?"

"That's right. It's not a way to hide like this, and the fort must be destroyed. Otherwise, there is no way to fight at all. ”

"It's just that I don't know what the hell is going on in that tomb, why hasn't the other party been dealt with yet?

Several people vented their dissatisfaction, which also gave Zhou Yu a headache, knowing that everyone was dissatisfied, and also expressed their opinions.

"If the fort has not been captured by the tomb today, I will personally order him to solve the fort quickly. ”

"If that's the case, that's fine. Someone complained.

Zhou Yu reluctantly comforted: "No matter what, now he is the only candidate, isn't he?"

As he was talking, the distant fort was "bang-bang" again, and it was a shot aimed at the group of people present.

However, it was also a loss that the accuracy of this artillery was not enough, so everyone was lucky to avoid it, and there was no time for casualties.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yu said helplessly: "Let's retreat." After all, the enemy's firepower is too fierce, and if you continue to stay here, you are afraid that there will be danger.

The group did not dare to stay any longer, and hurriedly left the city.

In the distance, the twelve cannons brought by Zhang Qi were firing continuously, and it had been going on for a week.

The power of these shells is not great, at least compared to the capture cannons of the Red Phoenix Army, they are much weaker.

But I can't stand the constant shooting!

At least, the city wall under Zhou Yu was smashed by these cannonballs, and the cracks on it could stuff people's feet in, even in the city, except for the northern corner of the city, most of the houses were collapsed, and sewage flowed everywhere, like a scene of the end of the world.

"If this continues, we'll have no choice but to retreat. ”

Trapped by this situation, Zhou Yu also began to think crankily.

Wang Shiyi shook his head and said helplessly: "Retreat? But right now, apart from Handan, where can we go?"

"No matter what, it's a day to be able to sustain it. We can't be trapped here!" Zhou Yu explained.

Just as he was thinking about it, a loud sound suddenly sounded in the distance, and his feet were also shaken, and he almost fell to the ground.

Everyone looked at it together, but it was the Yuhua Gate that finally couldn't support it under the continuous shelling of the other party, so it collapsed directly, turning into a pile of ruins that couldn't see anything.

"The gates are collapsing?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, although they were under the scorching sun, they felt cold.

If there is no city gate protection, it is convenient to drive straight in.

Zhou Yu was also shocked, and said in a loud voice: "Immediately send an order to the whole army and let the soldiers retreat to the second front." Everyone is on first level alert and ready to fight!"

"Why?"

Others were puzzled, not knowing why a city wall had collapsed, making Zhou Yu like this.

Zhou Yu explained: "The other party's purpose is to break through the city wall and completely annihilate us. Now that the city gate has collapsed, it is equivalent to the door being wide open, and if I were the other party, I would naturally take advantage of this time to attack. ”

As if in response to him, the roaring cannon in the distance suddenly became dense, and meteors streaked across the sky and fell on the city like a torrential rain.

Someone couldn't dodge and was smashed into meat sauce on the spot.

"Yes. First, the opponent was suppressed by a long and large-scale artillery bombardment, and then took advantage of this time to send soldiers to attack, and it seems that the other side also knows how to use artillery to fight. ”

Zhou Yu's whole person became nervous, and ordered: "Wang Shijian, Mao Renfeng, the two of you immediately send an order to the whole city and let all the people hide in the north of the city." The rest of you, come with me to the Yuhua Gate, drag the enemy to me, and buy enough time for the others to retreat. Got it?"

"I'll understand!"

Wang Shili and Mao Renfeng did not dare to slack off, and immediately left.

The rest of the people followed behind Zhou Yu and ran towards the Yuhua Gate together.

As soon as everyone came here, they saw that from the ruins, dozens of people were killing towards the city, and without the slightest hesitation, they immediately took off their weapons and fought with each other.

For a while, blood splattered and corpses were strewn, which was really miserable.

However, the strength of the staff group was good, but it blocked the opponent's first round of attacks and barely established a defensive line here.

Zhou Yu was a little relieved, and secretly thought: "As long as you survive this round and come back from that section of the mausoleum, it's fine." When he raised his eyes, he saw a sharp light in the distance quickly inserting into the battlefield, and all the soldiers who stood in front of this sharp light fell to the ground one after another.

"Who is it?"

Zhou Yu was shocked, seeing that the sharp light was actually running directly towards him, and the long sword on his waist clanged, and it was already in the palm of his hand.

A true element has never been retained, and all of them are included in the long sword.

"Brush!"

The sword qi was vertical and horizontal, and the sharp light that immediately hit shook for a while, and with a "bang", the whole shattered, revealing Zhang Qi inside.

"Is that you?"

Zhou Yu was stunned, his five fingers were already clenched on the hilt of the sword, and he was trembling a little at this moment.

"That's right. Since you saw me coming, do you plan to continue to resist?" Zhang Qi smiled confidently, and with a slight shake of the spear in his hand, the incomparable spear had already swept out.

The breath of everyone was stagnant, and they actually felt suffocated, and when their feet were soft and they were about to fall, a ray of light spontaneously appeared, incorporating into their bodies.

Receiving this glorious image, everyone supported their bodies and looked at Zhou Yu who was blocking them with a grateful face.

If it weren't for Zhou Yu's action, I'm afraid they would all be planted here!

"Do you think that I, the Red Phoenix Army, are all greedy for life and afraid of death?"

Zhou Yu held the long sword in his hand and shouted loudly.

Zhang Qi chuckled and said, "Oh? In just a few days, you have already reached this level?" Under the urging of Zhenyuan, the silver spear in his hand seemed to be possessed by a swimming dragon, and there was a burst of dragon groaning.

"In that case, I can't leave you today!"

The loud words show Zhang Jue's arrogance.

"Oh, then, let me see, what are you capable of releasing such wild words?"

Zhou Yu was also nervous, but he thought of his comrades-in-arms behind him and the people in the city, and knew that if he retreated, these people would all turn into ashes.

The sword roared for a long time, and the holy light swept the world.

At this critical time, Zhou Yu knew in his heart that if he wanted to win this battle, he had to do everything he could to break through the encirclement.
