There was a deafening cheer from the Song army in the distance, and the thunderbolt was indeed the first-rate morale-boosting tool, no matter what the actual effect was, the scene of this stone bullet flying all over the sky alone was enough to raise the morale of the whole army to the maximum instantly!

Just like the cannons of the era of hot weapons, the sound of cannons rumbles, which can bring confidence to soldiers.

What's more, the thunderbolt with a lethality of +10 is also quite powerful today, and it collapsed the city gate tower in such a short period of time, which completely embodies the 'power' of the scene of live ammunition all over the sky. This is the most inspiring motivation for the soldiers.

In the system bar, the morale value is as high as 89, and you can enter the 90 ranks with just one point.

The tremendous 'power' of the thunderbolt inspired all the soldiers and filled them with confidence. The original soldiers' thoughts that the attack on Donglang Pass would inevitably suffer heavy losses dissipated a lot unconsciously, and the army's morale was stable.

Even some soldiers, seeing that the catapults made by the rush were so powerful, had a thought in their hearts, saying that they could not directly defeat the defenders of Guanshang by relying on them alone, as long as the confidence of the prince's army to resist was crushed, this battle would be a success.

On the wall of Donglang Pass, all the defenders and soldiers were also horrified by this, and the collapse of the city gate tower was like a 'mountain' in their hearts.

They are not unfamiliar with this kind of thing, Pei Lun's army carried a lot of this thing when he entered Dong'an, and there were hundreds of them under Cangsong Pass. But the princes' army had never 'experienced' such a siege weapon, many of them had seen and heard of it, but it was the Thunderbolt that had always been on their side. But he never thought that one day such a powerful blow would fall on his head. Today, they have seen it, and they only feel that the power is even more terrifying than the legend. The stone bullet fell from the sky, and the terrifying power was not something that flesh and blood could resist at all.

Some of the middle and low-ranking officers in the city were trying their best to comfort their soldiers, but in the face of this feeling of the sky falling, the effect of speaking with one mouth alone was so pale.

This kind of psychological blow and suppression seems to be facing an invincible existence. It really makes people feel a sense of powerlessness and irresistibility in their hearts.

At the moment when the stone bullets flew, most of the defenders who were standing on the closed city had hurriedly drilled into the Tibetan soldiers cave under the leadership of their respective team leaders, Dubo, Junhou, and Junma, and of course, some of them were left at the head of the city or directly lying under the battlements because they were afraid. The soldiers were unlucky, and the fall of the gate tower cost at least a hundred of their lives. After that, whether these princes' troops were officers or soldiers, they were even more unbearable, and some of them were so frightened that they lay down under the battlements and didn't dare to move.

In the face of the powerful thunderbolts, the battlements are also blocked. Shields, slurs and the like were even more useless, although the defenders at the head of the city had only one or two thousand men, and they were scattered over the city, which was more than a mile long, and did not appear crowded at all. However, in addition to the collapse of the city gate tower, the stones that hit the gate still dealt a heavy blow to the remaining soldiers. The flying rubble struck them mercilessly, causing them to convulse in pain. The unlucky ones will break their heads and bleed. And they themselves did not dare to move even if they were beaten, and the stones in the sky made them feel endless fear, and fools knew that as long as they stood up and left the protection of the battlement wall, and then accidentally hit a stone bullet weighing dozens of pounds, the whole person would instantly turn into a pool of bloody minced meat.

It's not a good idea to just lie under the battlements, and it's not necessarily safe. In that loud bang, there were always a few who happened to hit the battlements.

The surrounding area of Donglang Pass is pure mountains, and all the stones in the construction of the gate are all high-quality bluestone, and the texture is much stronger than the brick walls of the general city. But it was seldom able to survive the bombardment of stone bullets, and each battlement broke open under its burden, and the defenders hiding under it would be smashed into a pulp of flesh by the cracked battlements and broken stones.

The entire fortress groaned under the relentless onslaught of countless stones, and every defender soldier felt like he was riding a boat in the middle of the sea. In the rough waves, trembling forward, every moment has a fatal danger.

Zhu Biao couldn't stop nodding outside the gate, and every battlement on the gate was broken, and he hesitated in his heart. Although the strong city wall of Donglang Pass still stood proudly in the stone bullets, Zhu Biao watched the battle flag of the prince's army on the city wall being smashed, and no one went up to help him up. It can be seen that the guards of Guancheng are really frightened and afraid.

The defenders were suppressed and couldn't move, and the faces of the Song army were all more inspired, and they looked left and right at the soldiers of the Chinese Army's personal guard battalion in the front that had been prepared for a long time. The eager expressions of the soldiers made Zhu Biao feel very satisfied, and he had to have this eagerness. He gestured slightly to the herald behind him and said, "Siege."

After the herald received the order, he immediately rushed out first, standing in front of the Chinese army's formation, his hands tightened the reins, the war horse was in pain, and the middle man stood up, accompanied by the long neighing of the war horse, the herald held the red red flag with one arm and waved it heavily towards Donglang Pass, and shouted: "The whole army obeys the order, attack the city!"

A large shield is protected in front of the battle array, and behind the dense gun forest, there are not crossbowmen, sword players, and knife and axe hands, but siege equipment, which makes the Chinese army's four thousand people phalanx look majestic and full of deterrence.

The thunderbolt was still throwing stones at Donglang Pass, and this suppression did not stop until the soldiers of the pro-military camp approached the gate about thirty paces away. The crossbowmen stood behind their shields, and a dense rain of arrows began to shoot down towards the city, and the defenders were still firmly suppressed and unable to move after the stone bullets stopped, and the slowly advancing Song siege troops brought a creaking sound of gold and wood equipment colliding with each further step, as if it was heralding the defenders' coming thunderous fury.

After the stone bullets stopped, the prince army Zhonglang had already climbed the city from the head of the city along the hidden soldier cave, clinging to the female wall, looking down from the arrow hole, the layers of Song troops were gradually advancing towards the city, slowly approaching their first goal - the moat.

"Prepare for battle!" Zhonglang's heart sank, and he shouted loudly at the soldiers behind him.

Where did the pro-soldiers dare to slack off, they immediately vigorously sounded the gong in their hands. The clear sound of "bell, ........." was heard far away in the rain of arrows, reaching every inch of the entire Guancheng. It reached the ears of the crossbowmen of the Song army under the city. The next moment, the dense arrows under the city like raindrops roared into the sky, and fell towards the place where the soldiers were standing. In the blink of an eye, the sharp arrow penetrated the body of the pro-soldier, and the blood instantly soaked his whole body, and the strength of the strong pro-soldier's whole body flowed in an instant like the flowing blood, and the gong fell to his feet, and the body full of sharp arrows fell to the ground suddenly.

The trumpet of the city sounded loudly. Originally, there were still war drums, but with the collapse of the castle tower, all the war drums were buried in the rubble.

The Song army advanced to the edge of the first moat, and with the wave of the flag, the army came to an abrupt halt. The heavy shield soldiers at the forefront of the battle formation firmly stood on the ground with heavy shields one after another, supporting a shield array that was intermittent but absolutely tight. The spearmen's guns were still there, and their position with the heavy shieldmen had been consolidated here, only twenty paces from the castle.

The drums beat one after another, the middle and tail of the phalanx were constantly changing, and under the control of the command flag and the sound of the drums, the soldiers acted on the basis of 'capital', and quickly adjusted the formation under the leadership of each capital.

The battle formation began to change, only in an instant, the originally tight and seamless phalanx was violently split, the phalanx seemed to Kuncang to open its wings, the people in the middle and tail sections began to expand to the two wings, and the front group of soldiers pushed the trench bridge from the gap left between the spears in the front shield wall, and rushed to the moat with all their might. The bridge was flanked by wheels, flanked by guards, and covered with a thick layer of mud to protect against rockets fired by the defenders who closed it. The soldiers of the assault force behind followed closely behind with a large number of sturdy planks, ready to fill the trench bridge, which had already strengthened the passage to a greater extent.

On the Donglang Pass City, Zhonglang will watch the Song army outside the city continue to advance from the arrow hole, and at this rate, the three moats under the city will soon be filled, and he can't help but feel anxious. In the city defense design of Donglang Pass, moats and moats are important measures for defense. General Zhonglang never expected that the Song army would not only produce thunderbolts overnight, but also produce so many important siege weapons such as moats and bridges. The equipment that was used in Cangsong Pass by them in a different way is now used on their own heads.

Under the threat of the thunderbolt car full of stones, he had no way to prevent the Song army from gaining a foothold under the city, so that the Song army of the two squares became a new threat to the city after the thunderbolt. In this way, under the cover of thunderbolts and a rain of arrows, the two Song armies that had established a firm foothold on the side of the moat quickly bulldozed all the three moats in front of the moat, and the Song army's siege phalanx also approached the moat. This qiē only took a little more than an hour!

There are springs on the mountains on both sides of Donglang Pass, it can be said that the water source is sufficient, and the moat directly attracts the living water on the mountain, which is three zhang wide and more than two zhang deep.

As long as this moat can be filled in again, the breakthrough of Donglang Pass will not be a matter of just words.

Zhu Biao watched the battle on horseback, and was very satisfied with the rapid progress of the siege troops of the personal guard battalion to the side of the moat. "Order the two divisions to stop the offensive and rest on the spot. The follow-up troops were equipped with sand and gravel and rushed to fill the moat. The remaining six infantry archers stepped forward and continued to suppress the city. ”

Donglang Pass is fortified, but the transverse surface and narrow city surface are only about a mile long, which limits its one-time carrying military power. At most, a thousand crossbowmen can be arranged, which is full of stuffing. And Zhu Biao's pro-military camp of tens of thousands of people, not counting crossbowmen but foot archers, there are at least 2,000 people.

The lower two parts, the upper six parts, there are 1,500 archers.

"Yes, Dashuai!" Several heralds from the surrounding area immediately flew away. (To be continued.)
