As the commander of Zhenwu Guard, Yuan Chaoju stood on the city wall with a helmet and armor.

"Can you use cannons to hit the thief cavalry outside the city?" Yuan Chao raised his hand and pointed at the many cavalry outside the city.

A hundred households next to him reached out to the direction of the cavalry outside the city, shook his head and said, "It's hard, the thief cavalry team is too far from the city wall, and our cannons are not reachable."

Almost all the cavalrymen with the tiger flag outside the city were a distance from Daizhou City. Only a few cavalrymen drove away the people under the city and entered the range of cannons on the top of the city.

"The cavalry in the bandit army has arrived outside our Daizhou city. I think the infantry of the bandit army will come soon. I don't know how long it will take to fight in the next battle. The commander might as well take advantage of this time to rest." A general next to him said.

The city walls of Daizhou City are full of soldiers from Zhenwu Guards. The officials and runners in the magistrate's yamen were in charge of public security on the streets, while the magistrate of Daizhou was in charge of the yamen.

Yuan Chao raised his hand and pressed it on the female wall, looked outside the city, and said, "The bandits are coming. As the garrison of Daizhou City, as long as the bandits do not retreat, I will not return to the mansion for a day."

"The subordinates were originally generals who died."

The city guards standing around immediately bowed to Yuan Chao, and several generals and hundreds of households knelt on one knee.

Yuan Chaoju reached out to support the person closest to him and said, "The bandits are coming. I hope you can work together to fight the bandits with me. As long as you defend Daizhou City, I will definitely ask for me."

"We swear to follow the general to the death." The generals around shouted in unison.

"Bandits, the bandits are coming from the north."

On the top of the city, soldiers on the watchtower shouted loudly.

Yuan Chaoju hurriedly looked northward.

In the distance, a big star appeared in the sight of everyone on the city wall.

"I'm afraid there are 30,000 to 40,000 troops!" A thousand households standing beside Yuan Chaoju said with a stunned look on their faces.

After hearing this, Yuan Chao raised his eyes at the other party and said, "You have known how many soldiers there are, you have to repeat it here."

"That's not what the general of the bandit army meant. The general of the general thought that the army of 30,000 to 40,000 people was exaggerated by the defeated soldiers who fled back from Yanmen Pass, but he didn't expect there were so many." Qianhu smiled bitterly.

The bandit army usually has tens of thousands of people and dares to say it is a 100,000 army, and tens of thousands of bandit soldiers dares to say it is a 500,000 army. Once the number of bandit soldiers exceeds 200,000, they will boast about it to be a 100,000 army.

And the army of bandits outside the city in front of me was not a trace of water.

"I ordered the civilians to send the utensils to the city as soon as possible. If the soil, stone and bricks are not enough, they will directly demolish the houses in the city. The big pot of gold and juice will burn them all." Yuan Chaoju looked nervously at the army of bandits outside the city.

The number of bandit soldiers outside the city had reached his expectations. What was even more terrifying was that the bandit army walked from afar to the city of Daizhou City, and the formation was not scattered at all. Even the most elite border troops he had ever seen were far inferior to them.

At this time, he had no luck in his heart.

The bandit army could defeat several border troops in Xuanda in succession, not necessarily as he had thought, but was lucky.

"General, this battle is probably not easy to fight."

It was not only Yuan Chao who saw that the army of bandits was extraordinary, but other generals on the top of the city also discovered that the bandits outside the city were more powerful than they thought.

"If you don't fight, you have to fight. If you can't defend Daizhou City, you and the generals are waiting to be imprisoned and questioned by the court!" Yuan Chaoju was dissatisfied with his generals saying such deflated words.

As the commander of Zhenwu Guard, he had no way out since the day when Da Yanmen Pass was lost.

"The bandits are pushing the cannons up." Someone reminded on the top of the city.

Yuan Chaoju's face looked extremely ugly.

The bandits pushed the cannons to the front of the formation, and he could see clearly on the city wall.

What he never expected was that there were only a few cannons in Daizhou City, but the cannons pushed by the bandits outside the city into front of the formation were densely packed. Without counting it, you could know that there were at least dozens of cannons.

"Why are there so many cannons from the bandits?" A general exclaimed on the city wall.

Cannons are powerful tools in siege and defending the city. Sometimes a few cannons can turn the situation around. If you are not a fool, you will know that it is even more difficult to defend Daizhou City.

"Fire the cannon, fire the cannon, and fight the bandits who use the cannon to push the cannon."

Yuan Chaoju was not sure how many cannons could withstand Daizhou City, so he did not dare to let the cannons with the tiger flag approach the city wall. He could only send his own cannons to attack, and wanted to rely on several cannons on the top of the city to defeat the bandits who were pushing cannons close to the city wall.

On the city wall, several cannon gunners fiddled with their own cannons.

It took a while for the cannon to be filled with gunpowder, and one of the gunners lit the fuse on the tail of the cannon with a torch.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

It was very powerful. Several cannons were fired smoothly, and the cannons inside flew from the top of the city to the tiger-shaped flag cannon formation under the city.

However, these cannons were not in sufficient range and landed one after another halfway.

After seeing the cannon landing, the gunner outside the city continued to push the cannon forward and narrowed the distance with the city wall.

"Break the right point, a bunch of waste." Yuan Chaoju noticed that his cannon failed to cause any damage to the bandits, and was so angry that he cursed.

A hundred households walked up to the gunner who was fighting the artillery, kicked and scolded, "It's all right, I haven't even touched the edge of the bandits, have they not eaten one by one? Put more gunpowder and then beat me."

After some beating and scolding, the gunners on the city hurriedly cleaned the barrel of their respective guns and loaded gunpowder and gunpowder.

In order to fight further and reach the bandits outside the city, each gunner loaded his gun with enough gunpowder.

boom!

On the top of the city, a cannon suddenly exploded, and several gunners on the side were all injured, and one of them was even killed on the spot.

"What's going on?" Yuan Chaoju saw chaos on the top of the city, and hurriedly looked over.

After a while, a hundred households ran over and said with a dark face: "Report to the commander, a cannon just exploded and injured several gunners."

"Waste." Yuan Chao cursed with anger.

The cannons on the city walls were originally fewer than those in the thief army, but now there is one less, so it is even more difficult to threaten the thief to become.

"Why are you still being stunned here? Go and ask your people to fire the cannons. Do you have to wait for the bandits to push the cannons under the city to bombard Daizhou City?"

When Yuan Chaoju saw that the hundred households were still standing in front of him, he couldn't help but scold him.

Baihu ran away hurriedly.

boom!

There was another muffled thunder sound on the top of the city, and the wailing sound echoed above the city.

Yuan Chaoju looked at the chaos on the city wall again, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.

I saw Baihu, who had just left, run over again.

"General, blow up another cannon." As he said that, the hundred-family lowered his head.
Chapter completed!
