Chapter 2724 Luoyang city head shrouded by artillery fire
In Luoyang City, at the entrance to Fangshi, which is closest to the east gate of Luoyang, Cheng Jie is currently looking at the city gate building, which is about three hundred steps away in a straight line.
If you want to get to the city gate tower from here, you also need to kill nearly a hundred armored defenders below the city gate.
For these five hundred elites who don't even have iron armor, it is definitely a very difficult test.
Fortunately, the Third Young Master provided him with over a hundred square bamboo grenades.
The destructive power of this thing made Cheng Jie feel that the chance of breaking through the city gate by himself and others had increased by at least 50%.
With this thing, it really means that you can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat.
Although I can faintly hear the noise coming from outside the city, I still haven't been able to wait for the signal.
Cheng Jie could only endure it and continue to stay here, looking over there eagerly, hoping to wait for the signal from the Third Young Master.
The third young master said that he must wait until he sends a signal, and then he can decide whether to attack the city.
As for the signal that Third Young Master mentioned, it was a roar that was far more terrifying than a grenade explosion.
Cheng Jie understood the description of the Third Young Master, and he must have been preparing to lead a group of young grenades to join the siege team.
Thinking of this, Cheng Jie turned his head and looked behind him at the brothers hiding in the narrow alley.
I just hope that today's battle will go smoothly and that Pao Ze will have fewer casualties.
Cheng Jie smacked his mouth and continued to turn his gaze back to the direction of the city gate tower, continuing to follow.
At this moment, Cheng Sanlang finally picked up a lit incense stick, stood on the spot, and roared fiercely.
"I'll count down to ten, and if I don't put down my weapon and open the city gate..."
Before he could finish his words, he was instantly cut off by the obscene words spouted by the rebels above the city.
Seeing the arrogant energy of those bastards on top of the city, Cheng Chubi said nothing, raised his hand, and spread out all five fingers.
Li Ke and Zhao Kun, who were standing nearby to watch the excitement, turned around and ran away like two rabbits, one old and one young.
Fang Jun stood there with a confused look on his face. Fortunately, after he reacted, he immediately followed Li Ke's footsteps.
And all the Ouchi guards who had just come to help were rolling and crawling towards the back.
This scene directly confused the rebels on the city and the Tang army below.
Zhang Shen was dumbfounded as he watched His Highness the King of Wu thrust out his belly and run wildly into the distance regardless of his manners.
There were other people waiting, and they also ran away in a panic, and they were all confused.
What kind of outrageous thing did Cheng Sanlang do to scare his own people like that?
Zhang Jinshu sucked in air with toothache and couldn't help but utter something.
"What's going on? Is this demon moth trying to do something evil?"
#####
"Ah, what...what's going on?" Li Chengqian, who was staring at the tall and burly figure of Brother Chu Bi with a look of anticipation on his face, was also confused.
I don't understand why when Brother He Bi raised his hand, everyone seemed to be scared to death and jumped away all the way.
General Cheng looked at the scene in front of him blankly, and his mind was in a mess. What on earth is going on?
Then I saw Cheng Sanlang slowly starting to curl his fingers, and waited until he finished curling his five fingers.
I took the incense stick and lit the fuse of the first thunder cannon, and then after three or five steps I came to the second one, and the third one...
It's like a hard-working old farmer, strolling around in his own field, randomly pulling weeds in the field.
Twelve thunder cannons, bent back twelve times, after igniting the last thunder cannon.
Everyone saw that Cheng Sanlang threw away the incense stick in his hand, twisted his butt and ran away. His hasty steps and flying figure were no different from Li Ke and others just now.
Seeing this, Prince Zhan Shiyu Zhining murmured with crooked eyes.
"...This, this thing, could it even blow up my own people?"
General Cheng saw his San Lang running away in embarrassment and couldn't help but murmured in fear.
"Is this thing very unsafe?"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a series of sounds like muffled thunder roaring from the flying thunder cannon position in front.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
By the time the sound reached a hundred steps away, it didn't feel much shocking anymore.
However, the battlefield suddenly became densely filled with smoke and fire, causing everyone to subconsciously hold their breath.
Everyone above and below the city looked at the place with flames and thick smoke in surprise.
But soon, everyone's eyes were attracted by the black spot flying into the sky.
The reason why it is a black spot is because it is really not small, rolling in the sky and flying high into the sky.
Even the height has far exceeded the city gate tower, until everyone squinted their eyes and looked at the increasingly smaller black spots.
Gradually, the black spots began to grow slowly again...
#####
Zhang Jinshu on top of the city, Zhang Shenji beside him, and several rebel generals were all looking at him with great curiosity.
They were very confused in their hearts as to what the hell that thing was, until they started to zoom in on it.
Zhang Jinshu finally saw clearly what that thing was. It was actually a ball-shaped object wrapped in linen or silk.
At this moment, Zhang Jinshu immediately fell down, raised his finger, pointed to the sky and was about to speak.
Everyone felt their eyes light up, as if the sun hanging high in the sky dimmed for a moment, and then returned to brightness instantly.
Everyone felt as if their eyes were darkened, and then they saw the sky above the wall of Luoyang City.
A ball of blazing white with orange-red flames expanded exaggeratedly to several feet in diameter, then suddenly shrunk.
Then thick smoke suddenly took the place of the flame ball.
When the second blazing white flame with a hint of orange-red bloomed in the sky above the city wall.
Everyone felt as if their ears were pricked by a needle, then again, and again...
Even the heart seemed to have been frightened to stop beating at this moment, but it could still be felt.
The huge roar of the flying thunder cannon made his internal organs tremble.
At the foot of the city, the elite Zuotun Guards, who were more than 300 steps away from the city wall, were all frowning and squinting in pain, subconsciously raising their hands to cover their ears.
But their eyes were still fixed on the city head.
The area near the city gate tower was completely covered by the explosion's flames and thick smoke.
But you can still see things flying out from the thick smoke, and some of them directly hit the bottom of the city wall.
Some fell into the moat, even crossed the moat that was several feet wide, and flew for several feet before falling to the ground...
