Cao Wen and the two lieutenant generals looked at each other for a while, and one of the lieutenant generals, who was anxious, said: "General, with such a defense, the last general really can't see any good way to attack." ”

Cao Wen frowned and did not speak.

Another adjutant general said: "General, in my opinion, if you can't do it, you can use artillery to attack." ”

Cao Wen said: "But this city wall is twice as thick as before, and I am afraid that the cannonballs will not be able to penetrate it!" ”

The lieutenant general said: "Then let the artillery aim at one point at the same time, I don't believe that it can't be penetrated." ”

Cao Wen listened to the lieutenant's words, nodded and said, "Although your method is a bit clumsy, it is not a good one. ”

The adjutant general said: "The last general's method is indeed a bit clumsy, but the last general knows that if this city wall is broken in one place, then our advance team can be killed, and after the killing, as long as the first line of defense is broken, then the remaining second line is easy to attack." ”

"Well, we might as well give it a try. There's no better way to do it now, anyway. Cao Wen said.

The anxious lieutenant general said: "General, since it has been decided, then let's attack quickly!" ”

"Eh, don't you worry!" Cao Wen said, "We need to study this matter further to see where the most appropriate place to attack is possible."

The anxious lieutenant general said, "General, I think this is good. ”

Hearing the words of the deputy general, Cao Wen looked around. This is not directly opposite the city gate, but a corner to the south of the city gate, which means that the gate tower is not visible here. This is indeed a place to attack.

"Well, it's good here. We need to prepare the bridge to cross the river. Cao Wen nodded and said.

Another lieutenant general said: "General, we have this bridge to cross the river, you can rest assured!" ”

Cao Wen nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back and order troops and attack in the afternoon." ”

As soon as he heard Cao Wen say that he had attacked the two lieutenant generals, his spirit also rose, and the two of them looked at each other, and their faces were full of energy. Especially the anxious lieutenant general, his eyes were already shining.

Cao Wen returned to the camp with two lieutenants and began to arrange the attack. Under the research of the three of them, they prepared to use ten cannons to hit a point of the Tarnu army's city wall to see if they could penetrate the city wall. The bridge to cross the river was ready, and the musketeers were ready, and as soon as they had penetrated the walls, they rushed in.

The two lieutenants nodded in agreement, and then went to prepare.

As soon as noon passed, Cao Wenkan ordered the march. Ten guns at the front. Stopped twenty feet away from the moat.

This time, he brought a total of 20,000 horses, and Cao Wen was behind the artillery to command and watch.

Cao Wen first asked ten guns to aim at a point. Then they saw that there were Tarnu archers on the opposite wall, ready to go.

"Get your shield ready." Cao Wen commanded.

The shield was placed in front of the artillery, but it left a window for the soldier firing the cannon to look ahead, and the rest of the place was heavily armed. Even if the Tarnu army's bow and arrow came at it, it would not hurt its own sergeant.

First, their shields are very strong, and secondly, the distance is long, even if the bow and arrow are fired, the power will be reduced.

Therefore, Cao Wen was not afraid of the Tars' bows and arrows at all.

At this time, in Zhangzhou City, the two defenders had already received the news that the Han army was coming to attack, and immediately climbed the city wall to watch according to the location.

"Brother, the Han army only came with 20,000 people!" A guard said.

"20,000 people is not much, but the ten artillery pieces in front are the most important." Another guard said.

"Our walls are thickened, and cannonballs can't penetrate them." This one of the guards said.

"Don't worry, let's take a look at the situation first, let the rocket army get ready, first shoot a wave of bows and arrows without fire, confuse the rockets, and then launch bows and arrows with fire." Another guard said.

"Brother, I've already arranged this. Just wait! The guard said.

"That's good, I want to see how this Han army came to attack." Another guard said.

Outside the city wall, Cao Wen felt that everything was ready, so he ordered an attack.

Then, first a cannon fired a cannonball, and boom, the wall was hit with stone chips, but it was only a small crater.

At this time, Cao Wen discovered that the city wall was not only thickened, but also strengthened. It seems that in order to withstand the artillery bombardment, the Tatar army also took great pains.

The walls are made of stones, and the gaps are filled with gravel blocks, which are naturally extremely hard.

Then, the second shell also bombarded exactly where it was located. Then came the third, fourth, fifth, sixth...... It wasn't until the tenth shot was also hit that half of the wall was not penetrated.

The anxious lieutenant general said in surprise: "My mother, this city wall is really strong, and ten shells have not penetrated it, strong, strong!" ”

Another adjutant general asked, "General, are you still fighting?" ”

Cao Wen pondered for a moment and said, "Keep fighting." ”

"Yes, General." After the lieutenant finished speaking, he ordered to continue the bombardment of that point.

On the city wall, the two Tatar defenders also looked at it with dark and solemn eyes.

One of them said, "Did you see that, brother?" The artillery of the Han army hit one place. ”

Another said: "I saw it, but even if it were, they didn't want to penetrate it." ”

"Yes, brother, there is a pig iron plate in the middle of this wall." Another guard said.

The guard nodded and said, "If it weren't for this, I'm afraid the city wall of Cuiping County could also be transformed." ”

"yes, the cost of such a wall is too high." Another guard said.

"Now, all the cities in Middle-earth are stepping up the construction of such walls, and it won't be long before all the walls can withstand the artillery of the Han army." The guard said.

"For this, the court is really willing to spend money!" Another guard said.

"There is no way to do this, the momentum of the Han army is aggressive, and the imperial court has to do this!" The guard general said with some helplessness.

"Yes, the artillery of this Han army is really powerful, especially in this part of the siege, we can't stop it at all!" Another guard said.

The guard said, "That's fine, you don't have to lose the city all the time." ”

"Actually, it's okay, although the imperial court took the money, but these walls were built by the local cities themselves, and the imperial court didn't spend too much money." Another guard said.

"Yes, that's right, that's it." The guard nodded.
