To the south of Bianliang City, outside the Nanxun Gate, a 120,000-strong army of Luoyan soldiers, horsemen, and infantry formed a dense and dense array. Located in the center of the array, in the open space left by the soldiers and horses, ten earthen platforms with a radius of five feet were built at an unknown time. Above the earthen platforms.
, ten Shenwei General cannons are being set up proudly on it, and the huge black cannon barrels are facing the city gate and city wall of Bianliang South City two miles away.
At this moment, the muzzle of the Divine Power Cannon on a fort in the middle was emitting thick blue-black smoke. The people around the Divine Power Cannon were moving away their hands covering their ears. The deafening roar of the launch was still
Echoing in Zi Zi's ears, in the distance, on the tall tower of Nanxun Gate, a cloud of smoke and dust exploded under the gaze of all the Luoyan Army soldiers. Then, a corner of the tower began to collapse, and the defenders above screamed and fled.
, extremely panicked.
"It's hit! It's so powerful, so powerful. One shot destroyed half of the tower. It's incredible."
Liang Qi shouted excitedly and jumped up happily. He ran off the platform and ran straight to Lin Jue, who was riding a horse dozens of steps behind.
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, one shot hit the east corner tower of Nanxunmen City Gate, and it collapsed. Hahahaha." Liang Qi cupped his hands and shouted loudly.
Lin Jue had undisguised joy on his face. He had also seen the launch just now. The roar was earth-shattering, and the whole earth seemed to tremble when it was launched. If earplugs had not been prepared for the horses in advance, this would have been impossible.
One sound can make people and war horses turn their backs on their ears and become breathless. Even if they are prepared, the loud noise still makes everyone's eardrums ring.
This time it was actually a test firing before the official attack. Lin Jue just went to the earth platform to adjust the angle of the muzzle and estimate the distance and scale. If it weren't for the fact that firing the cannon at close range was too dangerous, Lin Jue would have lit it himself.
It is the first shot of a significant siege. Because once the barrel is exploded, all the people around it will be shattered to pieces. After these powerful cannons were cast, they were directly put on the battlefield without any testing, so their stability is unknown. Because of this,
Therefore, Liang Qi and other talents firmly disagreed with the commander taking the risk of firing the cannon. The honor of the first cannon fell on Liang Qi. Sure enough, the cannon was fired, shaking the heaven and the earth, and its power was truly astonishing. Lin Jue was
I used a telescope to observe the gate tower of Nanxun Tower, so what I saw was more shocking than what I saw from a distance with the naked eye. The solid cannonball directly broke through the wall in front of the turret on the east side of the tower and penetrated. The turret wall collapsed
At the same time, the pillars inside also broke in an instant, causing a large-scale collapse. That is to say, the cannonball penetrated the wall and then successively broke the wooden pillars and beams supporting the turret. This power was already
It has achieved the goal that Lin Jue hoped to achieve.
Lin Jue laughed and said: "Okay. General Shenwei has shown great power. Today he will destroy Bianliang City with the force of thunder, so that the world can see the power of General Shenwei. Liang Qi listens to the order!"
"The general is here!" Liang Qi said in a deep voice, cupping his hands.
"Order all Shenwei general cannons to be ready for debugging immediately. Target the direction of the city gate tower. Wait for my order and launch together!" Lin Jue shouted.
"General, I obey!" Liang Qida shouted and saluted, turned around and ran away quickly.
"Shen Tan, Ma Qingshan, and Sun Wanchun obey orders!" Lin Jue shouted.
Shen Tan, Qingshan, Sun Wanchun and others rode out and came to Lin Jue and bowed their hands.
"The three of you will each lead your cavalry forward and be ready to charge. Once the city gate and wall collapse, the cavalry will
The soldiers immediately rushed into the city without giving the opponent a chance to block the gap. Remember, open the gap at all costs, quickly occupy the streets of Nancheng, and completely open the passage. Do the three generals understand?" Lin Jue shouted.
"I obey your orders, humble men!" Shen Tan, Ma Qingshan, Sun Wanchun and the others shouted in unison. If not long ago, someone had ordered these three people to use cavalry to attack the city, these three people would have scolded him for being stupid. But at this moment, Lin Marshal Lin ordered them to lead the cavalry forward and prepare to charge, but the three of them had no objection. Because they had all witnessed the power of the divine cannon, they were all deeply shocked. Marshal Lin proposed to use the divine cannon to blow down the city gate. The tactic of opening a gap in the city wall and charging the cavalry into the city was obviously based on something, and they all believed that it could be done.
Shen Tan, Qingshan, Sun Wanchun and others turned their horses' heads, whipped and galloped away.
"Ma Bin, Lu Yi, Mu Buping, Ruan Ping listen to the order." Lin Jue said again in a deep voice.
"Mo Jiang is here!" Ma Bin and others shouted in unison, bowed and clasped their fists.
"Ma Bin, Lu Yi, and Mu Buping each led their own infantry. After the cavalry rushed into the city, they immediately followed up to support the cavalry troops and occupied the streets of Nancheng. They established a firm foothold before listening to orders."
"I will obey your orders!" Ma Bin and the other three shouted loudly.
"Ruan Ping, you lead three thousand engineers and charge forward with shields. When the city gate is about to be breached, you must quickly build the pontoon bridge into the city. You must not delay the cavalry charge. I don't have much time for you, so you Can it be done?" Lin Jue shouted.
After Ruan Ping defected to Luoyan Valley from Beishan Dazhai, he was put into great use by Lin Jue. He was a prudent man and had some brains. He was appointed by Lin Jue as the commander-in-chief in charge of building siege walls in the village. Luoyan Valley He was involved in the construction of the dam, as well as the development of Luoyan Valley and the construction of villages and other large-scale projects, and his opinions were also appreciated by Lin Jue. Since the Luoyan Army had a swarm of rocket launchers, Ruan Ping has also become this A kind of firearms commander who needs to operate and assemble. At the same time, he also used his advantage of being good at construction and actively designed various equipment and equipment for the Luoyan Army. Now he is the deputy commander of the infantry of the Luoyan Army and the deputy commander of the Firearms Battalion. In addition, the commander of the infantry engineer battalion. Today's attack on Bianliang City is not only to open a gap in the city wall and gate, but also to break through the wide Bianliang moat. The key step for the cavalry to attack the city is to establish a channel for the cavalry charge first, and This important task can only be undertaken by Ruan Ping.
Ruan Ping laughed and said: "Commander, don't worry. The sliding pontoon vehicle designed by the general to be laid quickly has not been put to use yet. Today, it will be displayed under Bianliang City. If it cannot be laid within a stick of incense, The floating bridge is used for cavalry to charge, and Ruan Ping comes to see him with his head raised."
Lin Jue nodded and shouted: "Okay, I don't want your head either, I just want you to do good things. One stick of incense time is a bit harsh, I will give you two sticks of incense time, and send three thousand shield soldiers to protect your engineers. You What do you think?"
Ruan Ping laughed and said, "That's nothing to say. Marshal is so helpful. If he can't do this, will Ruan Ping still have any shame? Marshal, I will go and prepare now."
Lin Jue nodded and said: "You can all go and prepare. Everyone must be safe. As I said, you must not only win the battle, but also stay alive."
Ma Bin laughed loudly and said: "Don't worry, I don't want to die yet. The days of promotion and wealth are still to come."
Ma Bin and others took the order and left. Lin Jue breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak. Sun Da beside him
Yong said: "Commander, what about us? Where should we go?"
Gao Muqing also said: "Yeah, what are we doing? Watch from behind?"
Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "After you and I take control of Nancheng, when we enter the city, you will not only protect me, but you will also protect the emperor. The emperor has said that he does not want to stay outside the city and wait, and he will follow
The attacking soldiers enter the city together. Therefore, you can't go anywhere. All the guards of the firearms cavalry battalion, Mu Qingbing'er, you must shoulder the responsibility of guarding. After all, once the city is attacked, chaos and danger will be everywhere, and you need to protect me.
and the Emperor."
When Lin Jue said this, Gao Muqing Baibing and Sun Dayong were speechless. In fact, they all knew that Lin Jue's temperament was always to rush forward. This time, they were willing to follow behind for the sake of the emperor.
Safety is of great importance. Therefore, they actually have a heavy responsibility and continue to do a good job in protection.
After everything was arranged, Lin Jue raised his eyes and looked at the ten high platforms. Groups of soldiers were busy adjusting the muzzles of the cannons, loading ammunition, and preparing for launch. At this moment, everything was ready, all that was needed was the east wind.
…
On the top of the city, the cannon came and destroyed half of the city towers and turrets. A commander of the Imperial Army guarding the South Xun Gate was so frightened that he was stunned. Early this morning, the Luoyan Army suddenly formed an array under the city. This man
The commander was indeed nervous for a while, but he soon dismissed it.
During this period of time, as to why the Luoyan Army outside the city had not attacked the city, several meetings of middle and senior officers were held within the defenders to speculate on the reasons. In the end, the words of a deputy general made everyone suddenly realize. That deputy general
He said that according to intelligence, there were no siege equipment in the Luoyan Army. Except for some carts for transporting supplies, there were no siege equipment such as catapults and cloud carts in the entire army. So in fact, it was not that they did not want to attack, but that they did not want to attack.
There is no way to attack the city. To attack the city is to die.
This statement was quickly confirmed. The scouts sent out to conduct reconnaissance confirmed that there were no siege equipment in the opponent's camp. Therefore, the adjutant's words were obviously correct. Without siege equipment, he wanted to attack Bianliang City.
?That’s simply wishful thinking.
In the past few days, the top brass of the city's defenders are most concerned about whether the opponent's army begins to build or transport siege equipment. This has become a barometer of whether the opponent will launch an attack. If the opponent wants to attack, they must first siege the city.
The equipment is in place. Because of this, until this morning, or to be precise, until half of the turret was destroyed by artillery shells fired by the opponent's unknown equipment, the defenders from top to bottom did not believe that the Luoyan Army would be able to attack the city in the short term.
possible.
Therefore, the deputy commander guarding Nanxunmen quickly lost interest in sending the opponent's cavalry and infantry to the city, but not even half of the siege equipment appeared in sight. He believed that the opponent was bluffing and they were not qualified to attack.
. Chen Bin and other generals are attending the coronation ceremony of Prime Minister Lu at the palace today. The Luoyan Army may just use this to disgust people.
However, the deputy commander's indifference was shattered by the earth-shaking loud noise. After witnessing a large area of the turret being overturned, he finally understood that the other party was not joking and was really going to attack.
, and the method was something I had never seen before.
"Quick! Hurry and report to Commander Chen and Commander Wang and Commander Yuan that the Luoyan Army is going to launch an attack on the city and ask them to come to Nancheng to take charge of the overall situation. Hurry! Hurry!" the deputy commander who defended the city.
