Chapter 164: The First Explosion in History (Part II)

"Put!" I saw an order on the high wall.

"Puff" sound continuously, whistling through the air, dense, straight down, only to hear the sound of continuous landing, the rolling crowd under the city, along the track and forward, although some of the sound and fall, but still surging up.

In the embers of fireworks, the evening sunset was ushered in.

"The Shu army is still ordering people to fill the river?" Standing on the city tower, looking at the situation below, Sun Chang's face was not good-looking.

"Lord, although he keeps sending archers to shoot, the soldiers sent by the Shu army have this defensive frame, which is really dumbfounded. It is really difficult to inflict much damage on the enemy army, and I am afraid that in a few days, they will be able to fill in three passable roads. ”

Sun Chang was silent, in the past three months, the Shu army has thought of many tricks to pass through this river and break through the city wall, but there has been no great progress, you know, the counterattack on Xiangyang City is not vegetarian.

Sun Chang always thought that in these three months, all the offensive strategies of the Shu army had been exhausted, but what he didn't expect was that the Shu army's sudden actions in the past few days had become more and more violent.

The frequent attacks, the large increase in the number of thunderbolts, and the earth dragon cars below all made Sun Chang feel uneasy in his heart.

The earth dragon car, which is the same frame as the train, is about ten meters per section, and is connected, and it is paved with thick straw and soil layers, and the arrows fall down, most of them are ineffective, and people pass underneath, carrying sandbags and throwing them out one by one.

"Lord, this new frame is not even afraid of splashing oil and gold juice, but I am afraid that the boulder will fall, but there are not many boulders prepared in the city. ”

"Can you send troops to attack?"

"My lord, the enemy is very vigilant, and besides, this kind of frame is really cheap, just a few beams and planks can be supported, but the effect is amazing. The defender who spoke, even if he was hostile, could not help but show a mixture of anger, fear, and admiration.

The meaning of the words is that this simple frame is very simple to destroy and rebuild.

Sun Changning looked down and found that the earth dragon car was getting closer and closer, and the exit was leaning on the sandbags that had been added, and the earth dragon car still had simple wheels, and the sandbags at the exit were filled, so he could push forward and start throwing sandbags again.

The moat outside the city is just a river, although it is hundreds of meters wide, but it is only two to three meters deep, and the sandbags that are thrown down can be filled up quickly, and if it goes on like this, even if it is a moat, it will not last long.

Sun Chang stood on the city tower and looked out from afar.

In the Shu army camp, more than 40,000 troops, under the leadership of Wang Hongyi, surrounded Xiangyang.

At this time, although there were less than 20,000 people in the battle, this kind of momentum was still terrifying, and Sun Chang was experienced in a hundred battles, so he naturally had no fear of it.

It's just that the river was filled quickly, which made his face slightly gloomy.

Under the city, another group of Shu troops rushed to the front of the moat under the cover of the earth dragon car, and threw the filling into the river, and the three rivers have gradually filled up, only thirty meters away from the city wall.

"It seems that the effect of the earth dragon car is good!" Wang Hongyi, who was far away in the camp of the army, looked at the city wall and said to himself, at the same time, fifty thunderbolts kept bombarding a city wall every day, and the city wall was full of cracks, and with a clairvoyant mirror, he could naturally see it very clearly.

When Wang Hongyi was filling in the moat, he found that in the locust shooting that covered the sky and closed the sun, even with paper armor, the casualties of the soldiers who filled the river were still relatively large.

This was inspired by the earthen tank.

The earth tank, a table with four wheels, covered with a quilt and watered, the warrior can be well protected from ordinary bullets when he enters the bottom of the table of the eight immortals.

Now, modified into a dragon car, the model of a train has been adopted, with sections of carriages connected by hooks.

Each section of the carriage is supported by the trunk of a shaved tree, two meters high, with simple wooden planks nailed to the top and left and right, and a simple reel underneath, on which the planks are thickly covered with straw and soil, and poured with several layers of water, so that they will not burn.

In this way, the front is not afraid of shooting at all, whether it is a rocket or fire oil, there is only a layer of wooden planks on the left and right sides, and there is some damage when firing from the side, but due to the angle, distance, plank protection, etc., the shooting is actually not much, and the number of arrows in it is even less, and the casualties have been reduced to less than 10 percent.

And even if a section is destroyed, break the hook and put the intact carriage on top.

The personnel kept going back and forth inside, and now they were protecting them from throwing sandbags.

"Order the diggers to prepare!" Wang Hongyi stared at Xiangyang City and ordered to go down.

"Yes!"

The so-called moat, in fact, in order to protect the foundation of the city wall, it is still necessary to set aside a few meters of foundation, and when the moat is filled, the earth is dug on these few meters of foundation.

With Wang Hongyi's order, a large number of excavators waited with shovels.

On the city tower, Sun Chang's eyes swept and he had seen the situation.

"What's going on?" he asked with a frown, "What are these?" and what tricks are they playing?"

Except for those moving planks, he couldn't see the figures of those Shu troops at all, which made him rarely irritable.

"Quick! Don't let them go to the city! Shoot arrows! Stop them!"

"Lord, these cars look thick, and bows and arrows can't hurt them!"

The pro-soldiers around him kept passing on the news.

Sun Chang's face was extremely pale, staring at the city, many archers, arrows like rain, heading down.

It's a pity that the Shu army still relied on the Tulong car, kept moving forward, filled in the river, and came to the city.

"What are they going to do here?" Sun Chang thought as he tried to calm himself.

Under such a dense rain of arrows, even if the Shu army reached the city, it was impossible to climb up.

Moreover, no ladders were seen being carried over.

What kind of conspiracy does the Shu army have?

Soon the screams of a pro-soldier gave him the answer.

"Lord, the moat near the south gate has been filled, and a team has come from there, ah, they are holding shovels!

I see! Sun Chang suddenly understood, filled up the river, and sent people over, not climbing into the city from above, but relying on the protection of the dragon cart to dig the tunnel.

The walls of Xiangyang City were strong, and Sun Chang was quite confident, and in this situation, he showed a sneer.

The offensive on the city became more and more awe-inspiring, not only with random arrows, but also with a batch of boulders and pushed down.

From time to time, boulders fell, smashing the earth dragon cart sent by the Shu army, but then a new earth dragon cart was pushed up.

Not just one, but all three are desperately rushing under a city wall, digging pits!

The development of the matter made Sun Chang dumbfounded, but after experiencing the initial panic, he quickly issued an order: "Send more manpower, listen to the tunnels, dig back to irrigate the water, and collapse their tunnels!"

"Yes, my lord!"

The officials who received the order around him immediately went to gather people and make trouble for this operation of the Shu army.

The Shu army closely followed the progress.

Wang Hongyi and Zhang Youzhi stood side by side, standing on a high slope, with attendants leading their war horses, and around them, there was a continuous camp.

"Report!"

A pro-soldier ran over and turned over in front of Wang Hongyi and bowed down.

Hongyi said with a brief command.

"Report to the Lord, the city has already dug a deep pit, just waiting for the Lord's orders!" said the soldiers.

"Have you already dug it?"

Wang Hongyi looked at Xiangyang City in the distance and ordered to go down: "Pass the order, the thunderbolt car will bombard this city wall continuously, clear the space, and quickly put down the Tao Lei through the earth dragon car!"

"Yes!" the soldiers quickly ran away, going to the camp not far away, to convey Wang Hongyi's order.

At present, a large number of Shu troops sent batches of Taolei to the bottom of the earth pit through the earth dragon carts as planned, and almost at the same time, fifty thunderbolt cars almost simultaneously launched their might, constantly sweeping a city wall above.

The sound of "boom" was endless, and there were almost no people standing on this wall.

"Zhang Qing, you say, if Sun Chang knew that Gu had planned like this at the beginning, would he regret it?"

Zhang Youzhi replied: "Lord, he just didn't know Tao Lei's information. ”

Without Tao Lei, even with the Earth Dragon Car and the Thunderbolt Car, it is unlikely that the Shu army would want to break through the city wall in a short time.

From this point of view, Sun Chang did not despise his opponent, he just did not get enough information and trusted the defense of Xiangyang City too much.

Wang Hongyi said lightly: "What the thunderbolt can't do, Tao Lei can do, the thunderbolt car, the earth dragon car, Tao Lei is now the three magic weapons - the city is broken today, the deployment of street battles, can you order it to go down?"

"I have already ordered it to go down, and all the generals have been waiting for this moment for a long time, and they are looking forward to it. Zhang Youzhi said with a smile.

After a while, news came one after another, and Wang Hongyi listened carefully and analyzed.

Zhang Youzhi said: "The information delivered by Tao Lei, even most of the generals of our army, did not know before this, Sun Chang would never know about the existence of this thing, so ......"

"So they won't be too wary, and it seems that you and I should pass. Wang Hongyi answered.

As long as the walls are blasted out, the siege will turn into street fighting!

The two, under the protection of their own soldiers, began to move towards the front of the formation.

At this time, under the city of Xiangyang, half an hour has passed since the beginning of transporting Tao Lei. Thousands of kilograms of torlei were sent into the deep pit that had been dug.

Since this was the first time Tauree had been used, the defenders were not too wary of it at all.

"Enlighten the lord, thousands of catties of terrault have been buried in it, please give the lord an order!" said the general in charge of this matter in front of Wang Hongyi.

Wang Hongyi looked at the big city in front of him coldly, didn't speak, and made a move!

Ignition!

"No!" immediately responded.

At this time, the defenders of the city suddenly found that the Shu army that had originally gathered under the city was rapidly withdrawing.

"Lord, the Shu army under the city is retreating!" said one of the guards in surprise.

Sun Chang's face was pale, staring at the retreat of the Shu army, looking down on the city, only to see the crowd of people retreating, he suddenly felt a burst of ominousness in his heart, and whispered: "What conspiracy and tricks does the Shu army have?"

Inside the Tulong car, a fuse of more than 100 meters was ignited, and the fuse crackled and burned, rushing into the pit at a very fast speed.

"Boom!" There was a loud bang that shook the earth, and a huge mushroom cloud appeared, and the scarred city wall in the south of the city, which had been bombed, fell down with a bang in the dusty and rubble, and a gap ten meters wide appeared. RO！~！
