Arrows rain down and stones fly like thunder.

Forty pounds of flying stones smashed towards the west wall of the city with a whistling sound, and some flying stones crossed the city, dragging the screaming sound and falling in the houses in the city, and in a blink of an eye, they penetrated the roof and smashed out of the big pit; Some flying stones smashed on the head of the city where the defenders were densely packed, and when they landed, they smashed out stumps and broken arms; More stones bombarded the walls, and large bricks of the rammed stone walls were smashed and fell to the ground.

The strong momentum brought a huge shock to the city, and also made the Goguryeo soldiers tremble and hide behind the battlements...... Even if there were only six or seven flying stones that could accurately hit the top of the city, and only about twenty soldiers were injured, hundreds of people waited for an opportunity to dodge, and the arrows thrown from the city were suffocated.

The flying stones that the shield and wooden fence can't stop are no longer something that manpower can compete with, and the shock to the morale of the defenders can be imagined.

The most important thing is that the Goguryeo people have never seen stone cannons...... Regardless of whether it is Goguryeo, Buyeo, or the Hui countries, they do not have large projectile weapons such as stone ballistas, and the siege warfare they are used to is still a battle in which the bows and crossbows of both sides shoot each other, and the soldiers climb the city and fight to the death.

And the battle that discovered the bones of Su Sheng, compared to the past, was definitely different for Yi Yinmo.

The Goguryeo warriors they were proud of were running around in order to avoid the flying stones, and even if the officers raised their swords and shouted hysterically at the head of the city, it was difficult to recover their courage, and before they could regroup, the screaming of the flying stones outside the moat under the city began again, and in the blink of an eye, the officers who had just been jumping around were crushed into pulp.

With screams and wails in his ears, Yi Yinmo pushed away the guards holding the large shield above his head, stumbled on the top of the city, and watched with a blank gaze as the warriors of their country were defeated at the top of the city, shivering behind the battlements or running in all directions towards the city, only to be slashed down by the warlords.

The city wall under his feet from time to time emitted unstable vibrations and shaking, Yi Yin Mo held the battlements and looked down the city, the Han army of ten thousand people on the ground took the lead, it was the twenty huge flying stone carts around the moat, the enemy army was even more unscrupulous after losing the threat of the archers on the city, the hordes of Han warriors did not even take weapons, and filled the moat with a skull, with clothes and armor wrapped in earth and stones, but in a moment filled a few dirt roads in the river one zhang wide and five feet long, and so on, there was another half an hour, The moat had to be filled in by the Han Chinese to allow the ladder to pass through a few roads, and by that time...... Susheng Bone City really can't be saved!

"Fire Arrow, Fire Arrow, burn their stone cart for me!"

The defenders of the city have prepared fire oil, the original intention was to burn the ladder that took the head of the city, but at this moment, who cares about the future, if the stone cannon can't be destroyed now...... Whoosh, boom!

The huge flying stones dragged a huge force and smashed on the battlements in front of Yi Yinmo, the battlements made of masonry were smashed to pieces, and the flying city bricks splashed on Yi Yinmo's body, even if he was wearing thick armor, he still smashed him out, and the smoke and dust flew.

Under the city, Pan Ling commanded a stone cannon to fire another bullet, laughed wantonly and arrogantly, stuck the ring knife on the ground in front of him, drew out the big bow he was carrying and led the arrow to the city, and shouted: "Release the arrow, don't be idle, release the arrow!" ”

The defenders of the city were completely suppressed by the stone cannons, and it was difficult to damage the besieging army when the scattered rain of arrows was thrown, and this was their chance, killing and wounding the defenders at the head of the city as much as possible, so that more robes could survive the relatively tragic siege battle!

Pan Ling struggled to survive in Goguryeo for more than a month, and his subordinates only had more than 3,000 bandits at most, but in just a few battles, there were only more than 2,200 people left when he surrendered to the north gate of Yan, and only because there were hundreds of Goguryeo people under his subordinates, he took on the vanguard of the siege...... In less than half an hour, his subordinates had already suffered more than 800 casualties.

And that's just the casualties at the very beginning of the fighting!

Even if this bandit leader is no longer distressed, where will there be no anger?

"Smash, smash them to death! Smash the walls down! ”

The shock caused by the stone cannon to the Goguryeo defenders was felt more intuitively by Yanbei and Guo Jia on the earthwork. Watching the front of the siege army on their own side of the flying stones fly up, landing on the head of the city of Susheng Bone City with a beautiful parabola, and the dense defenders on the city in a cloud of smoke and dust hugged their heads and scurried, Yan Bei looked excited and clenched his fists, and the bridge of his nose was sour and almost fell into tears.

This stone cannon, if there were these stone cannons in the early years, why did so many brothers die in the attack of many cities in Jizhou!

"The stone cannon is good, good! Bonghyo, did you see that? Those defenders were smashed by the stone cannons and had no will to fight at all, well! "In Yanbei's view, this should be the meaning of the catapult, suppressing the enemy archers with an attack that is beyond the enemy's ability, so that they can't send arrows, and a short period of chaos can give his subordinates a chance to fill the moat!

"General, this cannon...... Isn't it a little weak? Guo Jia was completely puzzled by Yanbei's joy, and asked: "I have read some ancient books, the ancient stone cannon can shoot a hundred catties of boulders, and it can be sent out from a hundred and fifty steps, but the general's stone cannon, the stone is less than fifty catties, and even the city can't be smashed." ”

A full man doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry!

Damn in the land of Youzhou, not to mention the ballista stone cannon, even the skill of forging armor is more than ten years worse than Nanyang, and it is already a blessing of God to be able to make such a stone cannon.

Yan Bei glared at Guo Jia, who splashed cold water, angrily, and laughed again when he looked at Susheng Bone City. Fortunately, in terms of siege ordnance skills, Goguryeo and our Liaodong are also more than ten years apart!

In the past, everyone was the same, since Liaodong had a male lord like Yanbei, he rode on a wild horse of development and galloped in the northeast of the empire.

Such an opportunity, Goguryeo is afraid that it cannot be compared.

"Fengxiao, will you do it, a big stone cannon, can hit a hundred catties of stones for one hundred and fifty steps, and smash a section of the city wall to collapse?" Yan Bei asked, Guo Jia's eyes widened, of course he wouldn't do it, and then he heard Yan Bei sigh and say: "What we can make in Liaodong is this kind of stone cannon, this is because the original craftsman apprentice groped to do it, and forty catties of stone bullets can hit seventy-five steps...... When I return to Xiangping, I want the craftsmen to think more about how to improve, with such a stone cannon, how many fewer people can die in the siege! ”

Not to mention, the most profound siege in Yanbei's heart was in Handan, Jizhou, which was a water city, and under the frustration of the stubborn defense, nearly 5,000 soldiers under his command were killed and wounded, and at most they relied on the cooperation of the inside and outside to deceive the city gate.

Otherwise, I am afraid that even if his soldiers are dead, he will not be able to capture any city.

In just half an hour, more than 200 stone cannons under the city threw more than 200 stones, and many holes were smashed out of the female wall of the city. The stone cannons were still roaring, the rain of arrows thrown at the city from below the city was still continuing, and the protection of the head of the city without the female wall against the rain of arrows had dropped again, and the Goguryeo soldiers could only put their big shields on the head of the city and return fire with arrows.

Yi Yinmo was hit by the flying bricks, half of his cheeks were red with blood, and he fell unconscious, and was robbed of the city by Goguryeo soldiers. Although the lord was wounded, the soldiers of the city still fought...... Their morale has reached a certain level, and as long as the fighting does not stop, they can only continue to fight.

The order before the coma of the prince worked, the Goguryeo archers dipped the fire oil on the arrows and threw them at the stone cannons under the city, even across the wide moat, ten arrows could always hit one or two arrows, and those flickering flames expanded along the fire oil on the stone cannon wooden frame, and Pan Ling remembered that he shouted, "Scoop up the water, scoop the water from the moat to extinguish the fire!" ”

The soldiers scrambled to the moat, braving the rain of arrows to scoop out the water and splash it on the stone cannon, but the fire did not decrease but increased, which made Pan Ling so anxious that he even raised his knife to cut the flames on the stone cannon.

All anger was of no avail, the wind under the city fueled the fire, not to mention the continuous stream of arrows from the city, but it only took a few dozen breaths to teach the three stone cannons to rise into smoke.

Lu Yi, who was sitting in the Chinese army, saw that the siege battle that was originally in a good situation had changed, and hurriedly summoned the cavalry and asked, "What's wrong with the stone cannon in front?" ”

"General, Pan Sima reported that the stone cannon was hit by enemy fire arrows and could not be extinguished when it encountered water...... Pan Sima said that he had fallen for witchcraft! ”

"Fucking sorcery, quickly send an order to tell that fool, use soil to extinguish, use soil, that's fire oil, you can't use water!" Lu Yi was in a hurry, there were only twenty stone cannons, once they were burned down, they would be gone, this was all the hard work of Xiangping craftsmen, and it would not work to burn one! Seeing the arrows constantly thrown on the city, he knew that the front army was not prepared this time, and he was afraid that he would suffer a loss if he continued to fight, so he hurriedly ordered: "Mingjin collects the troops, and the whole army retreats two miles!" ”

The sound of the golden sound, the army retreated like a tide, and Pan Lingbu, who had suffered heavy losses, pushed the stone cannon away from the range of the moat and the rain of arrows of the defenders of the city, and looked back at the cheering defenders of the city with hatred, and the hatred in his eyes was self-evident.

Just now, an order came from Lu Yi to use earth to extinguish the flames on the stone cannon, but the news came back slowly, and the wooden frame of a stone cannon was burned. Although it can be repaired, it will take at least four or five days for the people to clean it up, and the stone cannon will not be used for a few days.

"General, tonight, send troops to smuggle across the moat, Pan is willing to be the vanguard!"

Lu Yi waved his hand, signaling Pan Ling not to worry too much and said: "Your subordinates have done a good job in this battle, they have been fighting for almost an hour, and the soldiers are tired, so they should have withdrawn." Just guard the camp tonight, and you can send someone to tell the people of the valley to rest the ordnance, dig and smash rocks, and prepare military supplies. ”

The siege of the city is to carry the baggage, the arrows of the bow, the stone bullets of the cannon, and of course, the necessary things such as food, and the reckless raising of the horsewhip and said: "Tomorrow to attack the city again, prepare more earth and stones next to the stone cannon, prepare to extinguish the fire, and apply mud on the side of the stone cannon...... At most, in ten years, the Bone City will fall! ”

On the other side of the earthwork, Guo Jia also replied to Yanbei in the same words: "The general does not need to let General Koji attack the city too quickly, the morale of the defenders in the city is low, and they may be defeated without a fight in a few days...... The subordinates thought that the defenders in the city should have escaped tonight! ”
