Zhang Jinshu laughed loudly for a long time, and then he shouted loudly for a long time.
"Cheng Laosan, you are acting in a cunning and cunning manner. You are clearly hiding in Luoyang, but you have been acting like a coward."
"I saw your father coming to support you today, so I dared to take the lead. You actually have the nerve to speak nonsense outside the strongest city in the world."
"Ask your father to come over so that he is qualified to answer this general's question, so get out of here!"
As soon as these words came out, there was an endless stream of laughter and jeers above the city, and all kinds of obscene words came rushing towards us.
Cheng Chubi had a dark look on his face. Unexpectedly, he had good intentions and tried to persuade them to change their ways, but was ridiculed in front of their faces.
Li, Fang, and Zhao all turned to look at Cheng Sanlang subconsciously.
Then he saw a strange and ferocious smile appear on his face as black as the bottom of a pot.
This most evil moth in the Tang Dynasty, whose eyes were smaller than the eye of a needle and extremely vindictive, probably never thought that he would be humiliated by such a naked person in the Tang Dynasty.
Then, I heard Cheng Sanlang's angry shout.
"...It seems that you really want to die. In that case, I will help you."
Zhang Shenji, who was grinning from ear to ear, approached the female wall and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Cheng Laosan, come here, come to your Grandpa Zhang if you can..."
Cheng Chubi ignored the city head again, turned back, walked slowly, and then stood still.
He signaled to Deng Chengxin to take the small red flag, and then plunged it into the soil at his feet.
"Okay, let them bring all twelve thunder cannons over. Each thunder cannon is one foot apart, centered on where I am standing, and arranged on both sides in order."
Cheng Chubi began to direct the imperial guards to get busy. As for the three elders who came to take credit for their achievements.
At this moment, he continued to stand by and watch, chattering.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... It's not good to offend anyone, but I want to offend Brother Chu Bi. Now, he is really angry..."
"The last time I made Brother Chubi angry, I remember it was when I was in Luzhou.
Luge, the younger brother of Xuezhou Luluneng, rebelled and harmed the people doing business.
I immediately pissed off Brother Chu Bi. I heard that Brother Chu Bi was playing with a grenade alone, blowing up a group of hundreds of rebels hiding in the Tibetan Soldier Cave to death..."
"Alone?" Zhao Kun couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and his eyes bulged.
Li Ke on the side nodded in agreement.
"Yes, it's just a person. After that time of suppressing the rebellion, Brother Chu Bi was in Luzhou Bailiu.
Even in the eyes of the Han people in the surrounding states, he is simply a demon-like being who can stop children from crying at night."
"It seems that today's rebels on top of these cities can enjoy the treatment enjoyed by the rebels in Luzhou back then."
"..." Zhao Kun looked at Li Ke and Fang Jun who were quite excited and looking forward to it. Well... to be honest, he was looking forward to it too.
Especially the test firing of the thunder cannon last night, mainly because it was difficult to see clearly at night.
And it was the trees that were blown up, not the enemy troops or the city.
Today, in broad daylight, I can finally appreciate the power of this flying thunder cannon when attacking a city and beating the cold.
#####
Zhang Xuansu looked at the towering Luoyang city wall calmly and said calmly.
"Since the Tang Dynasty moved its capital to Luoyang, the city of Luoyang has been greatly repaired.
In addition, a large amount of weapons and equipment are stored in the city, so it may not be easy to defeat them."
Hearing this, Yu Zhining on the side couldn't help but nodded worriedly.
"Yes, this can be regarded as the most fortified city in our Tang Dynasty."
Although General Cheng on the side did not say anything, his expression was not very good. After all, he had not seen the power of the flying thunder cannon, and he really didn't know what would happen.
However, a lieutenant general under his command couldn't help but make a sound.
"Cheng Sanlang is among the younger generation of my generation in the Tang Dynasty. He is a talented man with both civil and military skills and is the best at attacking cities and demolishing strongholds."
"Yeah, yeah, I think so too."
"I think he might be able to break the most fortified city in the Tang Dynasty."
"The most talented person in the Tang Dynasty who is best at attacking cities and fortresses is facing the most fortified city in the Tang Dynasty. Hey, why do I feel that these words sound familiar?"
"Nonsense, haven't you ever heard of using a child's spear to attack a child's shield?"
"Oh, yes, yes, that's it. If you say it like this, doesn't it mean that we are the spear of the Tang Dynasty attacking the shield of the Tang Dynasty?"
"..." Zhang Xuansu and Yu Zhining's faces turned dark as they listened to those rough guys talking nonsense.
Is it appropriate for you to say this at this time?
I glanced at His Highness the Crown Prince and saw that Crown Prince Li Chengqian was not displeased, but seemed to be listening with great interest.
With bright eyes he looked at Brother Chu Bi who was tinkering with those metal barrels in front of him, as if he wanted to see how the most pointed spear in the Tang Dynasty could break through the most fortified city in the Tang Dynasty.

The movement below the city naturally attracted the attention of the rebels defending the city.
However, this distance is really too far, at least twice the range of a crossbow. Even the most powerful archer using the most powerful bow can't do anything about it.
It is not that there are no long-range weapons with a range beyond this distance, but they are very heavy ballistae.
It is specially used to deal with large siege weapons, especially those tall and slow-moving ladders, carriages and other weapons that can easily pose a huge threat to the city wall.
But using this thing to deal with people below the city is a bit nonsense.
Just to lift the butt of the ballista requires the combined efforts of several people, and you also have to aim at someone a hundred or two hundred steps away.
This is no different from using cannonballs to kill mosquitoes. It's not easy to do at all.
As for other trebuchets and the like, the range of those things is too close, and they are only suitable for dealing with enemy troops that are intensively attacking the city.
After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Jinshu finally just asked the archer on top of the city to shoot a few arrows. He decided that the thief Cheng Sanlang was too far away and gave up the plan.
At this time, under the command and personal operation of Cheng Chubi, the artillery equipment of the twelve flying thunder cannons had been set up.
Cheng Chubi also specially adjusted the angle so that three of the flying thunder cannons were aimed at the city gate building where the laughter was the loudest and loudest just now.
Well, without aiming all twelve thunder cannons there, Cheng Chubi already felt that he was very broad-minded.
Looking at the loaded thunder cannons, Cheng Chubi turned his eyes and saw that the incense stick that had just been inserted on the ground still had a finger-long length left.
Looking back, his father, His Royal Highness and others all looked this way, after seeing the look he cast.
His Royal Highness the Prince also clenched his hands into fists and made an encouraging gesture.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Chubi's heart warmed up, so let's let everyone in the world see it.
Chapter completed!
