The vanguard of the Han army repelled the Wei army on the top of the mountain. They did not take advantage of the situation to chase the retreating Wei army. Instead, they lined up where they were, waiting for the Han army on the west bank to cross the river.
Hongnongchengtou.
Guanqiu Jian looked at Wen Yang, who looked childish but heroic, nodded in approval and said, "Young man Ciqian is brave, and we, the great Wei, have gained another tiger general." After saying that, he slightly bowed his hand to Wen Qin.
He smiled and said: "Congratulations Zhongruo, congratulations Zhongruo."
Wen Qin was briefly polite and asked Wen Yang to salute Guanqiu Jian. Then everyone turned around and looked at the wilderness outside the city.
At this time, Han soldiers continued to climb to the top of the mountain and then formed formations in the wilderness.
Ten minutes at noon.
Nearly 30,000 Han troops crossed the Hongnong River and formed a formation outside Hongnong City.
In front of the Chinese army formation,
Liu Chan wears golden battle armor,
He sneered and looked at Hongnong City ahead,
Then he smiled at the Prime Minister beside him and said: "Father, let's fight quickly!"
Zhuge Liang nodded slightly: "Your Majesty is wise!"
"Siege the city!"
With Zhuge Liang waving his feather fan, Wu Yi, the cavalry general, took the lead and led thousands of Han troops towards Hongnong City.
"Let it go!"
"Let it go!"
The crossbowman yelled loudly, and more than a hundred rocket launchers immediately fired a salvo, flying straight towards the top of Hongnong City.
Hongnong City!
Haha!
After two days of offensive, Liu Chan seemed to feel that Hongnong City was within his grasp.
We received news more than two months ago that Cao Wei has developed gunpowder, and they have begun developing rocket launchers in the past two months.
However, Liu Chan felt that according to the previous production progress of the Han Dynasty, Cao Wei should not have mass production at this moment, and he needed to attack Cao Wei in one fell swoop before the mass production of Cao Wei's firearms began.
The two days of fighting revealed that the weapons used by the Wei army were still single-shot powerful crossbows.
It seems that they haven't built a rocket launcher yet.
The Wei army had no firearms, so for the Han army, Hongnong City was naturally within easy reach.
The siege has just begun,
Fire coverage first.
In an instant, the top of Hongnong City was filled with flames and explosions.
The Han army was naturally overjoyed.
With the use of these firearms, siege warfare is no longer a difficult task for the Han army, because the enemy does not know what it is. Perhaps after the explosion, they were frightened to death, so what else?
What courage do you have to resist?
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Come with me!"
Wu Yi led thousands of people to 300 steps outside Hongnong City. After the first round of rocket attack, he launched the attack order.
Wu Yi was already old, and he knew that he did not have much time. After all, time is not forgiving, so he went out to attack Wei this time with sincerity and a lot of good words before he persuaded Emperor Liu Chan and Prime Minister Zhuge Liang to agree.
Let him be the pioneer.
The Han Dynasty actually has no shortage of young generals now.
In the past ten years, the imperial examination and martial arts examination,
Many young talents were selected for the big man, but Wu Yi was unwilling.
If you don’t seize the opportunity,
In this life, I will never have the opportunity to serve the Han Dynasty on the battlefield.
What's more, this is a war to destroy Wei.
So at this time, when he saw Hongnong City ablaze, he was of course very happy.
"Attack!"
Following Wu Yi's general order, five thousand Han troops immediately charged forward. They carried ladders and pushed them into collisions.
The Wei army was bombarded by this artillery fire, so it was difficult for them to effectively block it, so they took advantage of this opportunity to attack the city, and perhaps they could quickly break through the city.
What's more, twenty special explosive packets were placed on top of the crashed car.
Wu Yi's idea was very simple, which was to push the crash car to the city gate, then pile explosive bags under the city gate and blow open the city gate.
As for the crash car, its main function now is no longer to hit the city gate, but to confuse the Wei army.
Hongnongchengtou——
The Wei army soldiers all hid under their shields. The tremors caused by the explosion of rocket launchers made the soldiers' heads buzz. This weapon was so penetrating.
Guanqiu Jian, Wen Qin and others took advantage of the city wall to stamp their feet and watch what was going on outside the city.
The Han army has already begun to attack the city.
However, the number of people attacking is still too small, only a few thousand people.
"Zhong Gong!" Wen Qin said: "When will we fight back?"
Because the Wei army now also has rocket launchers, it is still a bit frustrating to hide like this. Moreover, Guan Qiujian deliberately lured the Han army to the city, with the purpose of naturally giving the Han army a fatal blow.
"Wait!"
Guanqiu Jian said, looking at the Han army crashing outside the city, he was stunned for a moment: "What is that?"
Wen Qin and Wen Yang also looked at Crash Car with confused expressions on their faces. Is the Han army's brain broken? What's the use of putting a bunch of cloth bags on Crash Car?
"Rocket attack!"
Guanqiu Jian immediately ordered. He didn't know what the cloth bag on the crashed car was, but now that the Han army had rocket launchers, gunpowder was no longer a secret, so the best way to deal with these strange things was to keep them away.
When the nearby archers heard the promise, they immediately lit their rockets and fired randomly, but the target of the shooting was just to hit the car.
"Not good!"
As the rockets came like raindrops, the Han soldiers screamed in panic. They tried their best to block the rockets, but they were not foolproof. Some of the Wei army's rockets still fell on the cloth bag.
p>
The Wei army didn't know what was in the cloth bag, but all the Han soldiers knew.
As soon as the rocket landed on the cloth bag, the soldiers nearby rushed to put out the fire. Explosive bags were most afraid of fire. At this point, all of them would die.
The car that crashed was not far from the city gate, at most forty or fifty steps away, so Guanqiu Jian at the top of the city could see it clearly.
"Keep shooting and crash the car!" Guanqiu Jian shouted loudly.
He discovered a problem. There might be gunpowder in the car.
With another round of rocket fire, the crash car that was advancing suddenly made a loud bang. The crash car was blown to pieces, and the nearby Han troops were blown away.
"What a risk!"
Wen Qin touched the cold sweat on his forehead.
On the other side, Liu Chan, Zhuge Liang and others also saw the car crash and be bombed. It seems that the Wei army already knew what the Han army meant, because they had also developed gunpowder.
"Tu Lianhu!" Liu Chan said loudly.
"The general will be here!" Tu Lianhu responded and came out.
"Attack!" Liu Chan pointed his sword and shouted: "Go and assist the old general in attacking the city."
"No!"
The five thousand men Wu Yi started with were just the first troops. Now the front troops have arrived at the city, and they have begun to build ladders and prepare to climb the city.
After the Wei army withstood two rounds of rocket launchers, they seemed to have just reacted and were using rolling logs, rocks, and arrows to block the Han army from ascending the city.
The Han army's rocket launchers are still roaring, which can slow down the Wei army's blocking ability.
But Wu Yi only had 5,000 men in hand, so Liu Chan sent Tu Lianhu and 10,000 infantry to attack quickly, which was Liu Chan's favorite method.
Seeing a large group of people rushing out from behind, Guanqiu Jian at the top of the city was overjoyed.
It looked like there were about 10,000 people, but Guanqiu Jian was already very satisfied. When the rear column of the Han army had rushed over, they were almost 300 steps away from Hongnong City.
"Prepare the thunderbolts!" Guanqiu Jian shouted loudly.
"No!"
The crossbowmen who had been waiting for a long time had high morale at this moment. They also wanted to see the power of this thunder cannon on the battlefield.
After all, before setting off from Luoyang, they only watched the master craftsman's demonstration, and they had not launched it themselves.
And the demonstration just shows them how to operate it, and their range.
Battlefield——
The Thunderbolt Cannon appeared on the battlefield for the first time today.
What will its power be like?
