The smoke of gunpowder spreads outside the southern city, and the sound of cannons roars like a thunderstorm.The siege of the city had retreated to the first line of defense, watching the messy scene of bricks, limes and soil splashing on the city walls.
The shelling stopped after a while.
There is a brief tranquility outside the city wall, but there is a lot of noise inside the city wall. Get the weapons!Line up... The shouts of the generals and the sound of gongs and drums were heard. A large number of Northern Han troops were on standby at the entrance of Shangcheng, and many guardians were also rushed to the top of the city.
However, at this time, the Zhou army did not rush to attack the city as usual.
On the Zhou army camp, Guo Shao rode a horse and personally came to the front and ordered loudly: Pass the order, stop siege on the whole line!
Gao Yanqiu stepped forward and clasped his fists and said: Your Majesty, the Jiannan Army has determined to sacrifice its life for the country, and has not shaken its morale.
Guo Shao said seriously: The less the soldiers are afraid of death, the more I am afraid of them!
...After a while, sporadic rafts of scattered races towards the city walls and ran on the messy battlefield.The soldiers of the Northern Han Army didn’t know what the Zhou army’s cavalry were doing, and the cavalry attacked the city and were still so many people?
The Northern Han defenders on the city fired the crossbows first, and the crossbows were more than 200 steps away!
But the crossbow cannons are bulky and there are not many, and the sparse cannon arrows have no choice but to deal with the high-speed ranger.
The catapults in the city also fired firecrackers, and they still couldn't get the scattered rangers. Dongdongdongdong... The stones hit the mud, not even a single person.
The group of rangers were even far and near, within dozens of steps of approaching the city wall, and bows and arrows also greeted them, and arrows shot into the armor of Zhou cavalry.
Suddenly, a horse neighed, and a Zhou army knight's horse was shot and the person on it fell down, rolling in dust.
But not long after, the rangers retreated.
A general rushed to the banner of the Jiannan Army Central Army, turned over and got off the horse and knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said: Your Majesty, the last general has been found out by orders. There are 18 cannon pits in about fifty steps, six within a hundred steps, and two within a hundred steps!
good.Guo Shao waved his hand.
At this time, forty or fifty generals gathered from all sides, and saluted the emperor who was riding on the tall dark horse.
Guo Shao nodded and said directly: In more than a day in Nancheng, he fired more than 1,500 guns, and only more than 20 missed shots within fifty steps. It takes about 75 guns to be shots outside fifty steps. After shooting incorrectly, he may not be able to damage his own equipment and horses...
Guo Shao's tone was not strong, but he was calm, with clear speech and bright eyes.At such important times, he usually keeps a clear mind and state, and his emotions are calm but sharp.
The generals widened their eyes and listened. Since Guo Shao spoke faster, not everyone would understand the meaning for a while; but Guo Shao could as long as they understood that they were not directing blindly, as long as they believed it.
He continued: Therefore, I decided to stop the method of ants siege. This method suffered too much loss to effectively consume the enemy army.Change the attack tactics and cannot rely on hopes to rush to the city at once. As long as the Northern Han army feels threatened, they will continue to mobilize their troops to defend and consume them.Next, let General Gao assign each command responsibilities in specific orders.
...As of the afternoon, outside a two or three hundred steps wide wall near the Nancheng city, the Zhou army concentrated more than 200 artillery pieces; the fortifications in other places were still there, but the artillery and military supplies were given to the key attack areas.
A large number of soldiers pushing the wheelbarrows rushed towards the city walls in a sparse arrangement, and the car was filled with soil!
The soldiers pushing the cart are soldiers, not the strong people, because the soldiers have armor and defend against bows and arrows very well.
There were also many archers, swords, shields, and large armies accompanying each other among the wheelbarrows, and a large group of people slowly spread towards the city wall like a tide.
The military generals of the Northern Han Dynasty observed it and built soil to attack the city?
The flags swayed on the top of the city, and the soldiers of the Northern Han army rushed to the city wall, carrying crossbows, big pots, and oil barrels. Some strong men rolled up on the carriage with stones. There were much more people on the city wall than before, and there were crowds.
Unexpectedly, the Zhou soldiers who were pushing the cart stopped at about a hundred steps.
Then I heard the sound of drums in the open ground outside the city, and for a while, boom!Boom... The sound of cannons sounded, and rows of white smoke emerged in the cannons' volley.
The general on duty in the Northern Han Army shouted in a deep voice: Oops!Being trapped!
The Zhou army's artillery was probably quite accurate, and they would adjust the angle if they were not fired on the right time.Heavy rolling stones whizzing from the sky!
The Zhou army's catapults that attacked within 200 steps also launched one after another.
Some gunpowder bags tied with stones (increasing weight) flew towards the city. A pack of gunpowder suddenly caught fire in the air, and burst into flames with a loud bang!
The shining fireworks are even more dazzling than fireworks.
Moreover, the rolling stones were still flying with the ignition of gunpowder, and a fire and thick smoke were drawn in the air, like a rainbow!
The defenders were so dazed that they looked up at the sky, but only a stone was left on the city wall. They smashed it and it was finished.
Another medicine bag fell on the city wall, and the leads in the bamboo tube were still burning. Everyone was shocked to see it and dodged. After a moment, it exploded with a loud bang, as if a ball of fire suddenly set off on the wall, and the smoke was very strong.
When another medicine bag came up, a soldier picked up the scoop and scooped a scoop of gold juice on the medicine bag, and there was no movement.
However, those hundreds of pounds of rolling stones roared, hitting the women's walls and the bricks and floors, with great power!
The dense crowd caused a catastrophic ending, and screams rang everywhere.
Bang!Suddenly, a rolling stone violently smashed the iron pot, and even the stove and firewood below flew up. The gold juice in the iron pot splashed, and the soldiers around him covered their faces and screamed, and a foul stench spread.
The rolling stones fired by the cannon were very heavy and flew down from mid-air, as if invincible!
With a bang, the tiles on the city wall were directly shattered, and stones and soil splashed like arrows!
If the personnel are too dense, there are several people who are injured by gravel alone.
Even the hard soil below will be broken into a big pit!
What the soldiers of the Northern Han army feared the most was this thing, and the formation alone was very scary.
Boom boom boom... The fire and white smoke in the wilderness flashed in rows. After each volley, terrifying stones would fly down from a high place whistling and rapid!
A thing weighing hundreds of pounds fell from mid-air, with a very strong force. If it happened to hit the female wall, the female wall would burst and collapse directly!
The city walls were howling, and many people retreated along the ramps of the upper city, and the arms were damaged.
Amid the sound of cannons, the large number of Zhou soldiers under the city continued to advance.
Several huge cloud cars behind were slowly being pushed closer, and one of them was slowly approaching the city wall within a hundred steps.
It was a large chariot as high as four feet tall!
The huge cloud car is like a tower, with many thick wooden wheels installed under it, and oil is dripping on the wooden shaft, which requires dozens of people to push it. It moves very slowly and has almost no maneuvering, making it easy to become a big target and be damaged. It is also troublesome to build and consumes huge manpower.
However, it is still a relatively strong piece of armor when siegeing the city. The three-layer arrow tower above is higher than the city wall. When it is close, it can siege the city wall in reverse!
Moreover, the defense conditions on the city wall can be clearly observed.
Three rows of bows and arrows stretched out the arrow holes, and whizzed... The ground shot arrows onto the city wall. The smoke filled the city wall, and the smoke was like a faint cloud, and the black arrows flew around in the clouds.
The huge shouts penetrated the smoke, as if they were rushing into the sky.
Starry rockets poured from the city wall, nailed into the thick wooden board above the clouds, and the oil cloth on the arrowheads was still on fire.
But a thick layer of mud was pasted on the wooden board in front of the cloud car, and the rocket was useless to it.
The city walls were also in chaos and there was no attack.
After a long time, a ball of burning fireballs flew out of the city, and black smoke drew out of the air.
Burning objects thrown by catapults.
Most of them fell to the ground, but they were all near the cloud car, obviously coming for this thing.
The second time, many fireballs flew out, and a fireball wrapped in an oil cloth hit the top of the cloud car. There was a sudden crackling sound, and the black oil spread out and the fire became stronger.
Soon another fireball hit the cloud car.
A soldier ran out of the arrow tower with a bucket of water, stood outside, scooped water and poured it on it. Unexpectedly, a bang of fire and boiling oil splashed, and the soldier immediately threw away the things in his hand, holding his head and screaming heart-wrenchingly.
The archers on the archery tower ran down the stairs quickly, and everyone shouted, the cloud car was pushed back by the people below, and the flames and black smoke above spread, with a very large formation.
However, the Northern Han soldiers on the city wall withdrew most of them to avoid them, but the catapults inside the city wall were still shooting stones outside the city.
Zhou Jun used a large crowd of people to reach the city wall about fifty steps, and they all inserted flagpoles along a line!
It seems to be marking the approximate distance.
At this time, a blue flag swayed from left to right, and the sound of cannons behind quickly subsided.
Groups of soldiers pushed the soil down to the corner of the wall, and there was not much soil in a truck, but the Zhou army's earth transport trucks were endless, and they dug a hole a hundred steps away to get the soil.Some people even carried the wood and pounded the rammed earth under the corner of the wall!
From time to time, stones from catapults hit people, but compared with the endless crowd, the casualties were very small, and it was completely impossible to stop Zhou's army from working under the city.
Finally, there was a noise on the city wall, and more soldiers of the Northern Han army were driven to the city again, and new equipment was also transported to the city.
The movement was observed by the cloud car with more than 200 steps. The gold was clamoring in unison in the rear, and the generals riding horses shouted loudly among the people. Go quickly!Back!The crowd under the city walls threw down wheelbarrows and various things, turned around and ran away.
As the crowd had just retreated fifty steps to the place where the flag was inserted, a high red flag was shaking.
The artillery array prepared immediately boomed... A sudden roar, and the huge shelling resounded through the world again. Although the lethality was still limited, it was enough for the people of the Northern Han army to suffer another loss!
The shelling stopped after a while.
There is a brief tranquility outside the city wall, but there is a lot of noise inside the city wall. Get the weapons!Line up... The shouts of the generals and the sound of gongs and drums were heard.
