Chapter 42: The Bombardment of Chang'an 3
Although everyone is an enemy country, there are many legends about Liu Shengzhi that have been introduced to Later Qin.
If it was before, I thought of Liu Shengzhi's various magical powers, what kind of life and death human flesh and bones, what can drive away ghost soldiers, and transport food out of thin air. What can summon thunder......
Everyone has heard of these things, and no one will take them to heart. At most, he was only skeptical, and he felt that he had a national teacher here, and his mana should be higher than Liu Shengzhi.
But the shelling that has just been experienced has made everyone lose their souls. At this time, when I heard that Liu Shengzhi was coming, all the legends about Liu Shengzhi that I had heard before couldn't help but come to mind!
"This Han King Liu Shengzhi seems to be more powerful than the national teacher...... Could it have been that he had attracted the thunder just now? Otherwise, how could it be so powerful?"
But I don't know how many people are so suspicious in their hearts, watching Kumarosh and his own family flee downstairs in embarrassment, naturally this kind of thought will be born in their hearts.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
There was another thunderclap, and the entire city wall behind him seemed to tremble.
"No, it's the city gate, the city gate ......," someone shouted in horror as he changed his voice.
Everyone looked over, and the iron-clad city gate, which had already been locked, seemed to have been hit by a piece of wood, and now it had begun to deform, as if it was about to break open in the next moment.
Everyone sighed in their hearts, and looked at the city gate, and their minds were full of thoughts of impending disaster......
"Hurry up, go and block the gates......"
In normal times, the gates were strong, but they were not the same as they were when they were re-strengthened in a state of war.
Under a state of war. The gates will be fortified by many means. In particular, the main attack of the enemy will be at the city gate, and heavy objects will be piled up behind the gate. Or even directly block the ......
However, Liu Shengzhi came too quickly. No one would have thought that such a scene would appear.
So at this time, the city gate was still in an ordinary state. At close range, a salvo of shells. It's not broken yet, and it can already be praised, and the quality is good......
At this time, a general finally reacted and ran over with his soldiers, and when he was about to lower the second city gate, it was already too late.
As soon as a group of soldiers ran past, the city gate exploded open. The whistling shells and shattered fragments of the door panels seemed to envelop it like a violent storm.
Immediately, more than half of the dozens of soldiers were lying in pools of blood.
Yang Pi saw such a scene. His eyes suddenly turned red. He was a famous fierce general in the Later Qin, and immediately regrouped his army and rushed towards the city gate, no matter what, he had to hide this city gate back......
At this time, Liu Shengzhi looked at the power of the artillery fire with satisfaction.
The Chang'an city in front of you is 12 meters high, the base is 10 meters wide, and there is an 8-meter-wide moat outside the wall.
If it was just these dozens of small cannons in his hands, where could it be a sensation?
Even if he used a larger caliber gun. I'm afraid that it will take ten days and a half to bomb before the city wall can collapse.
However, any epoch-making new weapon is also the most shocking when it first appears. It is also the most powerful. Because no one knows what to do.
It's like now......
Although Liu Shengzhi's small cannon can't hit the city wall, it can make a splash.
Now. Liu Shengzhi faced the team of Zhangchengmen, and there was no one enemy. They were all frightened and hid......
And how strong the city is. What if the fortifications were not defended?
It's like this. Let Liu Shengzhi unscrupulously push the artillery to the front of the trench, aiming at the city gate is bombarding indiscriminately.
Moreover, the artillery was divided into three groups, and the three doorways of Zhangchengmen were not spared at all.
Although Liu Shengzhi's artillery is not the first time it has been used, it has been small in scale and has not been spread before. This is the time when it's really used on a large scale.
Only this time can these cannons really exert their power, which no one dares to imagine.
After a while, if the enemy eases up, there will be no more shock.
Therefore, this is the reason why Liu Shengzhi is holding back his strength to come to this Chang'an City and blast out this round.
Looking at the effect at this moment, it is really much better than I imagined. Especially at this time, the accuracy of shooting at the city gate is much higher, but more than ten shells have been bombarded, and the city gate has been blown open.
It was only at this time that Liu Shengzhi breathed a sigh of relief. The enemy is not stupid, and he will soon react from the shock just now.
When the time comes, if you want to open the city gate, it will not be easy to break in.
Fortunately, this artillery was really sharp, and it was almost only a quarter of an hour's effort, and it had already blown up the left doorway of Zhangcheng Gate.
Seeing that the soldiers under his command had already built a temporary wooden plank to cross the bridge on the moat, Liu Shengyi clenched his fists, and the situation was much smoother than he imagined!
"The city gate is open, the city gate is open...... the Han army cheered, eager to kill and make meritorious deeds immediately.
Liu Shengzhi was not in a hurry: "Replace it with scattered bullets and advance to fight ......"
Seeing that there was a figure shaking on the city wall, knowing that the soldiers and horses of Hou Qin had already begun to react, they were tentatively trying to defend. Immediately gave the order: "Divide a few cannons and suppress the ...... of the city"
"Yes!"
Under the command of Liu Shengzhi, more than a dozen three-inch guns that had not yet fired were replaced with scattered shells. It's nothing more than those broken stone and iron nails and stuff......
Then he was pushed over a makeshift wooden bridge and across the moat.
"Hold the ......"
Yang Pi's red eyes shouted, and he heard a rumbling sound in the city. The rammed earth built of the city was blown up, and the people who were sent to the head of the city were all like earth, squatting on the ground, not to mention firing arrows to suppress the city.
He was bitter in his heart, the biggest advantage of defending the city was the condescending suppression of arrows, rolling stones, sasswood, hot water, and all kinds of defensive tools.
However, as soon as this powerful weapon came out, no one dared to stand on the city, but how could it defend it?
At this moment, he could only concentrate all the manpower in his hands behind the city gate, arrange it into a formation, and wait for the Han army to rush in, and launch a desperate hand-to-hand fight......
A platoon of soldiers raised their shields, hoping to withstand the enemy's weapons of terror.
However, it was not the flesh and blood of the Han army that rushed in first, but the storm fired by the Han artillery.
The so-called scattered bullets are those gravel and iron blocks, under the powerful driving force of gunpowder, exert a force that is 100 times more terrifying than any rain of arrows. (To be continued.) )
