The gunpowder outside South City was filled with smoke, and the sound of artillery roared like a thunderstorm. The attackers had retreated to the first line of defense, watching the messy scene of the brick limestone splashing on the wall.

The shelling stopped after a while. There was a brief silence outside the city wall, but inside the city wall was noisy, "Take your weapons! Lined up..." The generals shouted, the gongs and drums were screaming, a large number of North Han army troops stood by at the opening of the upper city, and many defense equipment rushed. Go to the top of the city.

However, at this time, Zhou Jun did not rush to attack the city like the original tactics.

On the ground of Zhou Jun’s camp, Guo Shao came to the front on horseback in person, and ordered loudly: "Proclaim the decree, stop siege on the whole line!"

Gao Yanjian stepped forward and clasped his fist: "Your Majesty, the Jiannan Army has made the determination to sacrifice their lives for the country and did not shake their morale."

Guo Shao said sternly: "The more soldiers are not afraid of death, the more I am afraid of them!"

...In a short while, sporadic wanderers rushed towards the city wall and raced on the messy battlefield. The soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty didn't know what Zhou Jun rangers were doing. The cavalry attacked the city and there were so many people?

The North Han garrison in the city set off the ballista first, which has a range of more than two hundred steps! However, there are not many heavy ballistas, and the sparse shots have no way to deal with the high-speed ranger. The catapults in the city also fired their guns, and they still couldn't take the sporadic wandering. "Boom, dong, ......" The stones were smashed into the mud one after another, not even one person hit.

A group of rangers suddenly went far and near, and within dozens of steps close to the city wall, their bows and arrows greeted them, and the arrows shot at the armor of the Zhou army cavalry. Suddenly a horse hissed, a Zhou Jun knight's horse was shot, and the man on it fell off and the dust rolled.

But it didn't take long for the rangers to withdraw.

A member of the generals rushed to the banner of the Central Army of the Jiannan Army, rolled over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the general has been ordered to find out. There are 18 cannon pits around fifty steps. , Six within a hundred steps, two outside a hundred steps!"

"Okay." Guo Shao waved his hand.

At this time, forty or fifty generals gathered from all sides one after another on horses, and one after another, they saluted the emperor who was riding on a tall black horse. Guo Shao nodded, and then said directly: "In Nancheng over a day, more than 1,500 shots have been fired, and there are only more than 20 missed shots within 50 steps. It is probably 75 shots before the missed shot reaches five. Ten steps away; after a missed shot, it may not be able to just damage one's own weapons and horses..."

Guo Shao's tone is not strong, but he is calm, articulate, and his eyes are sharp. At such important times, he usually maintains a clear mind and state, and his emotions are calm but sharp.

The generals listened with wide-eyed eyes. Because Guo Shao's speech speed is relatively fast, not everyone can understand the meaning at a time; but Guo Shao as long as they understand that he is not blindly commanding, as long as they believe it. .

He continued: "Therefore, I decided to stop the method of ant attachment to the city. These methods are too costly to effectively consume the enemy. Change the attack tactics. You can't hope to rush to the top of the city in one fell swoop. Feeling the threat, the North Han Army constantly mobilizes troops to defend and consume. Now let General Gao assign specific command responsibilities."

...In the afternoon, outside a two- to three-hundred-step-wide city wall in Nancheng near Wengcheng, Zhou Jun gathered more than two hundred artillery pieces; the siege fortifications in other places remained the same, but the artillery and munitions were left to the key attackers. area.

A large number of soldiers pushing a wheelbarrow rushed past the city wall in a sparse arrangement. The cart was filled with dirt! The pawns are the soldiers, not the people, because the soldiers have armor to defend against bows and arrows. There were many archers, swordsmen, and large ordnance between the wheelbarrows, and a large group of people slowly spread to the city wall like a tide.

The military commander of the Northern Han Dynasty observed and attacked the city?

The banner on the city’s head was swaying, and the Northern Han army soldiers in line rushed up to the city wall, carrying ballistas, cauldrons, and oil barrels. Some strong men came up with stones and rolling logs on their backs. There were more people on the city wall than before. A lot, a crowd.

Unexpectedly, the Sergeant Zhou who was pushing the cart stopped at about a hundred paces. Then I heard the loud drums on the open ground outside the city. After a while, the sound of "Boom! Boom..." guns sounded, and rows of white smoke came out from the salvo of artillery.

The military commander on duty in the North Han Army screamed in a deep voice: "Oops! In the count!"

Zhou Jun’s artillery is probably fairly accurate, and they will adjust the angle when they are not on time. The heavy rolling stones roared from the sky!

The Zhoujun catapults that attacked within two hundred paces were also launched. Some gunpowder bags tied with stones (increasing weight) flew towards the head of the city. A bag of gunpowder suddenly caught fire in the air and burst into flames with a "bang"! The sparkling fire is more dazzling than fireworks. And the tumbling stone is still flying with explosive gunpowder, and an arc of fire and smoke is drawn in the air, like a rainbow! It was so bright that the defender looked up at the sky and was dumbfounded, but there was only one stone left on the wall, and it was over with a bang.

Another medicine packet fell on the wall, and the fuse in the bamboo tube was still "chichi" burning. Everyone looked at the horror and avoided them. After a while, they burst with a "bang", as if There was a sudden fire on the wall, and the smoke was very heavy.

When another medicine packet fell, a soldier picked up a scoop and poured a scoop of "golden juice" on the medicine packet, but there was no movement.

But those hundred catties of rolling stones came whizzing, hitting the female wall, and the earth and rocks flying on the brick floor. They were very powerful! The dense crowd caused a catastrophic end, and screams rang everywhere. "Kah!" Suddenly a rolling stone violently smashed the iron pan, and even the stove and firewood below flew up. The "golden juice" in the iron pan splashed, and the soldiers around covered their faces and screamed "Wow". , A foul smell diffused.

The rolling stones fired by the artillery are very heavy, flying obliquely from mid-air, as if they are invincible! With a "boom", the floor tiles on the city wall were directly crushed, and the stones and soil splashed like arrows! If the personnel are too close, there are several people injured by the gravel alone. Even the hard soil below will be broken through a big hole! The most feared thing for the soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty was this thing. The battles alone were very scary.

"Boom boom boom..." The flames and white smoke in the wilderness flashed in rows, and after each round of salvo, there would be terrifying stones whizzing down from the heights! A hundred kilograms of heavy objects fell from mid-air with great force. If it happened to hit the female wall, that part of the female wall would burst and collapse!

The ghosts and wolves howled on the walls, many people retreated along the ramp of the upper city, and the weapons were damaged.

Amid the sound of cannons, the large weekly soldiers under the city continued to advance. The huge cloud carts behind have been slowly being pushed closer, and one of them has slowly approached the city wall within a hundred steps. It was a large tank that was four feet tall!

The huge cloud cart is like a tower. There are many thick wooden wheels installed underneath. Oil drips on the wooden shafts. It needs dozens of people to push it. It moves very slowly and has almost no maneuverability. It is easy to become a big target and be damaged; Trouble and labor-intensive. But it is still considered a relatively strong ordnance when attacking the city. The three-story arrow tower on it is higher than the city wall. Moreover, the defensive conditions on the wall can be clearly observed from above.

Three rows of bows and arrows stick out of the arrow holes, and "swish..." shoot arrows at the wall. The smoke on the wall is filled with smoke. The smoke is like a faint cloud, and the black arrows in the "cloud" fly randomly. The huge shouts penetrated the gunpowder smoke, as if rushing into the sky.

Spots of rockets poured from the wall, "cracking" into the thick plank above the clouds, and the tarp on the arrowhead was still on fire. But the wooden board in front of the cloud car was covered with a thick layer of mud, and the rocket was useless to it. The walls were also in a mess, so they didn't attack much.

After a long time, I saw burning fireballs flying out of the city, and black smoke was drawn in the air. Blaze thrown by a catapult. Most of them fell on the ground, but they were all near the cloud cart, obviously coming for this thing. In the second time, many fireballs flew out, and a fireball covered with oil cloth hit the top of the cloud cart, and it suddenly cracked, and the dark oil spread out and the fire became more vigorous. Not long after, another fireball hit the cloud car.

A soldier rushed out of the arrow tower carrying a bucket of water, stood outside, and poured water on it. Unexpectedly, there was a "boom" of fire and boiling oil splashing. The soldier immediately dropped what he was holding and held his head. The call was piercing.

The archer on the arrow tower hurriedly ran down the stairs. Everyone yelled. The cloud cart was pushed back by the people below. The flames and black smoke spread from above, and the battle was very big.

However, the Northern Han sergeants on the city wall evacuated most of them, but the catapult inside the city wall was still throwing stones outside the city.

The large crowds of Zhou Jun spent about fifty steps on the city wall, and one after another they inserted flagpoles along a line! It seems to be marking the approximate distance. At this time, a cyan flag swayed from side to side, and the sound of cannons in the back quickly ceased.

A group of soldiers pushed the soil down to the corner of the wall. There was not much soil in a truck, but Zhou Jun's earth-moving truck was endless, digging a hole a hundred steps away. Some people even rammed the earth under the corner with a wooden chandelier!

From time to time, people were hit by stones from catapults, but compared to the constant stream of people, the casualties were very small, and they could not stop Zhou Jun from working in the city.

Finally, there was a noise on the city wall, and more soldiers from the Northern Han Dynasty were driven to the city again, and new equipment was also carried to the city. The movement was observed by the cloud cart with more than two hundred steps, and the gold was ringing in unison from the rear. The generals on horseback yelled among the people, "Go! Back! It's going to fire..." The crowd under the city wall dropped the wheelbarrow and all kinds of things. Something, turn around and run away.

The crowd just retreated fifty steps beyond where the flag was planted, and there was a high red flag waving. The prepared artillery array immediately "boom boom boom..." suddenly roared, and the massive bombardment resounded through the world again. Although the lethality was still limited, it was enough for the people of the Northern Han Army to bear another loss! r1058
