In addition, I recommend a friend's new two-dimensional book "One of the Pirates is Invincible", and if you like the two-dimensional friend, you can take a look.
"Aim for the return cannon!"
Luo Xin shouted, and every other distance, a soldier repeated his order.
The 500-meter city wall and the 30-meter cannon are almost 10 meters apart, and he needs to convey the orders one by one.
Everything was ready, Xiao Ming nodded to Luo Xin.
"Fire!" Luo Xin shouted.
"Fire!" One voice after another.
Suddenly, "Boom! The sound of "boom" sounded continuously, the cannon sprayed flames, and the black cannonball rushed straight towards the barbarian camp like a black arrow out of its sheath.
The barbarian camp, Bei Shan, and Gurtai are looking at the city of Cangzhou, and Bei Shan is talking about his next siege plan.
Once the cannons are assembled, the large catapults will throw canisters filled with oil onto the city walls, which will shatter and envelop a large area in flames.
At the same time, the slave soldiers will charge again, and a group of slave soldiers will continue to dig a hole under the walls.
Once the pit is complete, another pair of slaves will bury themselves under the walls with a powder keg, eventually igniting the powder keg.
As long as this step is completed, a gap will basically be blown out of the city wall, and then the slave soldiers will pour into Cangzhou City like a tide.
As long as the city gate is captured, the barbarian cavalry will flood Cangzhou City and completely wipe out the defenders in the city.
The two had the same idea, and everything was just waiting for the return cannon to suppress the defenders on the city wall.
At this time, they suddenly saw a fire coming from the city, and then the sound of rolling like thunder came, and then they only heard a "whoosh", and the barbarian cavalry neatly lined up on the right side of Beishan suddenly flew out strangely, and smashed sixteen cavalrymen in a series before stopping.
A scream rang out, and Bei Shan looked at the first brute, who had a bloody hole in his chest.
And the cavalry behind him was equally miserable, with his arms strangely broken and his head directly sparse.
In an instant, Bei Shan broke out in a cold sweat, but this was only the beginning, and then he saw the soldiers near him flying out strangely like this cavalryman.
Thirty rings rang out on the city wall, corpses were already floating all over the camp, and three or four hundred cavalrymen died tragically!
"What's going on?" Beshan looked at Gultai.
And Gurtai looked at Liu Xuan.
The cold sweat on Liu Xuan's forehead flowed down instantly, and he said at this time: "No, this time it is King Qi's secret weapon, we were fooled." ”
"What a secret weapon!" Beshan felt that he had been deceived by Gurtai.
He didn't believe in Gurtai at all, and now it turns out that he was right.
At this time, a cavalryman ran over, handed an iron ball stained red with blood to Bei Shan, and said, "Taiji, this is it!" ”
Bei Shan took the iron ball and looked at it carefully, it was a solid iron ball, and his brow couldn't help but furrow.
"Gultai, you should give me an explanation." Bei Shan looked at Gultai coldly, "You deceived me, and you are responsible for the death of hundreds of soldiers. ”
Gurtai's mouth opened, "Beishan Taiji, this is the Cangzhou defenders are too cunning, it's not my fault, I've tried it with all my might." ”
"Boom ......"
Another round of loud noise came, and at this time, a shell suddenly concentrated the return cannon that was being assembled, and with a loud bang, the entire return cannon was scattered by this shell.
Then black cannonballs bounced on the ground and smashed into the other barbarian cavalry, followed by a series of screams.
At this moment, the cavalry of the barbarians was in chaos, and they were five hundred meters away from Cangzhou City.
And at such a distance, the soldiers of Cangzhou City can still kill and injure them in large numbers, which is an extremely frightening feeling for them.
It feels like a target.
The rumbling sound at the head of the city also made the horses feel uneasy, and they raised their hooves anxiously, and among the barbarian cavalry, only the cavalry of Beishan Taiji did not move, like a sculpture.
At the same time, hundreds of brute soldiers suddenly held shields in front of Bei Shan.
The brutes stood in thirty horizontal formations, their shields stuck diagonally on the ground, and their expressions were solemn.
Looking at the fire at the head of the city, Beshan said to Gultai: "Let your people attack the city with all their might, I want to get this weapon!" ”
"Beishan Taiji!" Gultai hesitated.
"What? Do you want to disobey my orders? This attack on Cangzhou City was the order of my father Khan, and to disobey my order was to disobey my father's order. Bei Shan said sharply.
Not only Gurtai, but also the cavalry under Gurtai were all broken by this strange way of death, they had never seen such a terrifying weapon.
Even if it is a torch in the Great Chongqing Kingdom, the range is only 200 meters, and the shot is still a stone projectile.
But this thing, which was as flaming as a torch, was capable of killing a dozen people at a time from a distance of 500 meters.
Although he did not want to consume his strength, Gurtai still gave the order.
The 20,000 slave soldiers under his command all rushed to Cangzhou City.
The artillery in the city was still roaring, and the return cannon was destroyed one after another under the fire of the artillery, looking at the miserable appearance of the barbarians, Luo Xin couldn't stop laughing, "You barbarians who killed a thousand knives, now you know how powerful we are." ”
Lu Fei held the binoculars and stared at the barbarian camp for a moment, and every time a cannonball hit a row of barbarians, he would shout hello.
When he saw the artillery shells around him hitting the open ground, Lu Fei raised his foot and kicked the soldier who lit the cannon, and scolded: "Stupid, how the hell are you hitting the ground!" ”
The soldier was kicked and staggered, and said aggrievedly: "You aimed at this cannon just now, captain." ”
Lu Fei's face turned red, and he raised his hand to fight, "You dare to say that you can go out and try it." ”
"Your Highness, the old man is really convinced today, with this artillery, this barbarian will not be able to capture Cangzhou City no matter what." Niu Ben stroked his beard and said with relief.
Shells killed the soldiers of the barbarian camp one by one like a string of sugar gourds.
The morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted, and all of them had excited smiles on their faces.
But soon the tide of slave soldiers made their faces tense again.
The return cannon was all broken into broken parts, and then Xiao Ming said: "Free fire!" ”
After receiving the order, Luo Xin said: "Keep an eye on them all, and hit me wherever there are many people." ”
"Yes!" The artillery was ordered to take aim at the place where the slave soldiers were most concentrated.
At this time, in the eyes of the soldiers, all those who attacked Cangzhou City were their enemies, and defending Cangzhou City was their only belief.
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
“……”
Dozens of solid rounds were fired, bringing up strings of blood mist on the ground, while half of the artillery still fired at the barbarian camp, and these barbarians did not want to watch the show quietly.
The thunderous noise terrified the slave soldiers.
Eventually, the first slave soldiers broke up before they could reach the city walls......
