Chapter 1956 Siege

Just as Sun Jing's eyes were on the outside of the city, more than a hundred black shadows tear apart the air roared and leaped through the space between the two sides and appeared in front of her!

Before the defenders could come to their senses, a loud bang of pingping pingping pinging sounded suddenly! More than a hundred solid iron shells hit the city wall, causing broken bricks to shoot!

The unlucky Wu army officers and soldiers and civilians were hit by the sputtered stones and died of blood on the spot! The broken bricks shot out of this kind are not much different from bullets!

The officers and soldiers of Wu army raised their shields one after another, and everyone couldn't help but cat down, allowing their bodies to be protected by the walls in front.

In the past, when the Wu army faced the artillery bombardment of Liu Xian's army, they would always withdraw most of the officers and soldiers under the city wall to reduce casualties.

However, Liu Xianjun once used this to open the road with artillery fire and the commando at the same time launched an attack. He caught Wu's army off guard several times. This was because of this reason.

Since then, the Wu army changed its tactics when facing Liu Xianjun's artillery attack. They no longer withdrew their officers and soldiers. They only used fences and shields to protect themselves, and still guarded the city, without giving their opponents any opportunity to take advantage of!

Liu Xianjun's artillery fire hit the city wall one after another, and the terrifying sound of impact came one after another, even more astonishing than the thunder!

The Wu army officers and soldiers were fine, but the civilians were hiding behind the walls and listening to the terrible loud noises, they were already scared and almost going crazy!

If there were no officers who were supervising the battle among the crowd, those who dared to retreat would be executed immediately, I was afraid that these civilian troops would have collapsed and fled to the city wall long ago!

Sun Jing squatted under the wall, and heard the terrible loud noise around him. He couldn't help but feel frightened and shouted at the messenger next to him: "Immediately send the artillery positions on the city wall, and immediately open fire to suppress the enemy's artillery!"

Lu Meng, who was next to him and hid behind the wall with him, shouted anxiously: "No!..."

Sun Jing turned his head to look at Lu Meng, and asked in confusion: "Deputy Governor, what does this mean? Are we just stubborn?"

Lu Meng frowned and said, "When I was in Wuxi, I used artillery to counterattack the opponent's artillery, but our army's artillery was not powerful enough to reach them at all. Instead, it exposed its position and destroyed most of it by them!..."

Sun Jing's expression changed drastically and she couldn't speak. After a while, she asked, "What should we do? I'm afraid that the civilian army will not be able to withstand it, and it will collapse on its own until the enemy brigade attacks the city!"

Lu Meng shouted: "Don't worry! With the supervision team here, no one dares to escape! Take a step back and say that even if the civilian army escapes, as long as the official army is present, they can still withstand the attack of the enemy brigade!"

Sun Jing felt that what Lu Meng said made sense, nodded, barely calmed down, enduring the terrifying loud noises coming from around him, and felt his heart beating violently with these loud noises!

Liu Xianjun's artillery fire continued to bombard the city, and it did not stop for more than an hour. Iron shells continued to crash into the city wall on the left side of the city gate. However, more than an hour passed, and the city wall still looked unscathed.

Liu Xian ordered the bombardment to stop, and more than 100 vehicle-mounted artillery finally stopped bombarding. The roaring world suddenly returned to peace, which made many people feel at a loss.

Liu Xian put his right hand in his eyes and looked at the city wall that had been bombarded by his own artillery for more than an hour.

I saw that only the surface of the city wall was hit by shells, and some not very obvious traces were found. The entire wall was obviously unscathed. The bombardment of artillery for more than an hour seemed to have become useless!

Liu Xian couldn't help but frown and muttered: "Good guy! I didn't believe the report from Yingfeng before. Now it seems that the strength of this wall is probably much harder than the one in the report!"

After thinking for a while, he turned his head to Zhang Liao on the side and said, "Wenyuan, attack the city wall!"

Zhang Liao clasped his fists and immediately led tens of thousands of infantry under his command to push hundreds of vehicle-mounted siege equipment made in advance from the ordnance field and began to siege the city.

The officers and soldiers on the top of the city discovered this situation and immediately stood up and shouted: "The enemy is coming! The enemy is coming!..."

Upon hearing this, the officers and soldiers of the Wu army quickly stood up and prepared to fight, and the civilian army also entered the battle position under the orders of their respective captains.

These people obviously hadn't come back to their senses from the terrifying power of the cannon just now, and they all seemed a little overwhelmed and at a loss.

Seeing that the opponent's army formed an army, under the cover of the shield, Sun Jing pushed a large number of siege equipment slowly approaching, and couldn't help but say to Lu Meng: "Deputy Governor, can you use artillery to bombard?"

Lu Meng clasped his fists and said, "Governor General clearly understands that artillery is our trump card, and it should not be used easily before the emergency moment! Moreover, with our army's strength and sufficient preparation, I believe that it can disrupt any enemy's offensive!"

Sun Jing felt that what Lu Meng said made sense and nodded.

Lu Meng clasped his fists at Sun Jing and said, "If the Governor trusts the General, the General is willing to command this battle to defend the city."

Sun Jing thought for a while and said with a smile: "The Deputy Governor is a famous general in Jiangdong. Of course, the Deputy Governor should be in charge of this battle!"

Then he untied his sword and handed it to Lu Meng, and said seriously: "I hand over this sword to the deputy governor, and the deputy governor lets go of command! If anyone dares to disobey the order, the deputy governor can kill it with this sword, and there is no need to report it to me!"

Lu Meng was stunned for a moment, and quickly clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your trust in the Governor!"

In fact, Lu Meng has never looked down on this Governor who has become the governor's throne by relying on his blood relationship. However, today he saw that he was willing to hand over the power and his mind was broad. He felt admiration for the Governor for the first time in his heart.

Lu Meng raised the sword given to him by Sun Jing high and shouted: "The Governor General's sword is here. Everyone must obey the orders. Those who violate the orders will use this sword to kill them! Don't say that you are not prepared for what you say!"

When everyone saw the sword he held high in his hand, they couldn't help but feel trembling and bowed together: "Abide by the orders of the Deputy Governor! Abide by the orders of the Deputy Governor!..."

Lu Meng put away his sword and saw that the opponent's army had entered within two hundred steps. He immediately shouted: "All the crossbows were equipped with thunder guns and arrows to shoot the enemy group!"

The Wu army officers and soldiers who were responsible for manipulating more than 200 bed crossbows quickly took out precious thunder guns and loaded them on the bed crossbows, then ignited the leads on the thunder guns and fired them towards the enemy groups outside the city!

More than two hundred thunder guns and arrows flew out, hitting Liu Xianjun's army, making a crackling sound. The shield curtain looked like it was riddled with holes, and many officers and soldiers under the shield curtain were hit by the guns and nailed to the ground, with flesh and blood flying everywhere!

Before it was over, these thunder guns and arrows that fell into Liu Xian's army's formation immediately exploded violently. The shock wave and flames immediately pushed many Liu Xian's officers and soldiers into the sky, and the originally rigorous military formation was shaken!
