The soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty had already begun to retreat very skillfully.
They knew that the Han army's trebuchets were about to roar again, and since they had no effective countermeasures on their side, they just stayed in hiding.
Liang Rui stood on the city gate, which was also the commanding heights of the entire battlefield.
Seeing that the Han army's thunder chariot had stabilized, he took a deep breath.
"General, let's go." Yin Shou beside him said in a deep voice.
As the commander-in-chief of an army, Liang Rui could not take risks by standing on it. The Han army's rocks did not recognize people.
"Luo Yun (Yin Shou), I always feel something is wrong." Liang Rui said in a low voice.
Yin Shou frowned: "Is this the Nanman's attack method? This time the Nanman didn't even retreat from the city, something is indeed wrong."
"The momentum of their attack this time is indeed not as good as yesterday." Liang Rui said carefully, "So Han Qinhu is anxious to use the trebuchet to hit us again to improve morale. It is reasonable, but I don't know why.
I always feel like something is wrong.”
Yin Shou didn't know how to answer, let alone whether he should attribute these to the old general's unfounded conjectures.
As he walked down the city gate, he whispered: "God bless the Great Zhou."
And behind him, the familiar whistling sound sounded again.
However, this time what was thrown by the trebuchet landed on the city top, but it was no longer the muffled sound of stone bullets that Liang Rui and others were familiar with before.
"Bang!" The explosion roared, sending up smoke and dust.
The soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who stayed behind in twos and threes on the city wall were swept up by the waves of air and were thrown down heavily from the city wall!
Liang Rui stood on the walkway to the city and watched helplessly as a soldier fell in front of him, bleeding from his orifices.
What kind of weapon is this?
Liang Rui could guarantee that he had never received such news from any deserter or scout.
Explosions undulated one after another. The city wall made of rammed earth could not support such an explosion. The entire wall was shaking violently. The panicked soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty ran out from the hidden cave under the city wall. Everyone was covered with dust.
, from the looks of it, dust should have been falling downwards in the cave of hiding soldiers at this time.
The disgraced soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty had no time and no desire to look back and see what happened. In their opinion, if the sound and power of the muskets before could be understood and accepted, then the thing in front of them was really beyond their understanding.
.
The sound of the explosion and the fire that erupted, really only the gods descending to earth can have such power. These Han people must have the sky behind them!
Liang Rui frowned. He could see a black thing falling from the sky and landing on the parapet at the top of the city. The black thing exploded and a gap was suddenly blown out of the parapet.
He didn't know when the Han army had such weapons, but he was certain that there was no need to hold on to the city today.
The catapults of the Han army must still be moving forward, because these objects are thrown more and more loudly in the city, and these objects keep falling among the people running around, and when they fall on the top of the city, they just shake a little.
The dust is different. When it falls among the crowd, this thing shows its ferocious side. The broken iron sheets are rolled up in the wind and flutter at people, and the human body looks so fragile and fragile under such a powerful weapon.
helpless.
Either the iron piece was directly inserted into the body, or the shock caused by the explosion directly knocked the person to the ground, and these people basically had no chance of survival.
Liang Rui felt that his heart was getting colder. He was leaning at the foot of the city wall and did not leave. Rather than being directly blown to death by the weird iron ball falling from the sky, he was more likely to be crushed to death by the falling city wall.
.
But at least from now on, the city wall is just shaking. Liang Rui has almost concluded that this new weapon of the Han army is obviously an enlarged version of the previous one that can also explode, but it requires the use of a wooden pole
From Liang Rui's perspective, a musket looks like a wooden pole, but this type can be directly thrown by a trebuchet.
Liang Rui didn't know how many tricks the Han army had yet to use, but he just felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Even if you build the copper and iron walls of this era, you will not be able to resist the Han army, which is almost from another era. It is like the soldiers of the ancient Yanhuang tribe wearing animal skins fighting against the current whole body.
Just like the elite cavalry.
This is not a fight on the same level at all.
"General, let's break out of the encirclement." Yin Shou's expression was uncertain.
Obviously, this new weapon of the Han army also attacked his inner bottom line again and again. Instead of sitting here and waiting for death, it is better to break out and fight out. It is a truth to keep the green hills and not be afraid of running out of firewood. The key is to
Tell His Highness the King of Sui about this weapon.
Even if there is no countermeasure, at least you must be mentally prepared.
This is the only thing they can do as ministers now.
Liang Rui smiled bitterly: "Breaking through, where can we break out now?"
As soon as he said these words, Yin Shou himself felt a little embarrassed. The key to siegeing a city is to surround three without one. Han Qinhu did not send troops to attack from the north gate, and if the defenders in the city left themselves a rear
If there is a road, when blocking the city gate, naturally the side of the city gate that is not attacked by the enemy will not be blocked.
But Yin Shou was in the city and had prepared to live or die with Shuo Fang. Under his insistence, even the north gate without fighting was blocked. So now if the Northern Zhou army wants to break through, it must at least
First clean up the debris at the city gate.
At this time, the Han army had already begun to climb the city. The Northern Zhou army, which had lost its fighting spirit, did not have the courage to rush forward and drive them off the city. Therefore, time was simply not enough.
No matter how you look at Yin Shou, you feel like you are shooting yourself in the foot. So how can Yin Shou not be embarrassed when facing the gazes of Liang Rui and other Northern Zhou generals?
"Capture Liang Rui alive!" We don't know where the Han troops are, but their voices have already been heard from the city wall.
Liang Rui looked back with a wry smile.
The red flag had appeared on the city wall. A large group of Han soldiers rushed down from the city wall and crossed the streets strewn with corpses to pursue the frightened Northern Zhou army.
Liang Rui ignored Yin Shou and walked towards the government office: "Close the door of the government office and we will fight the enemy to the death!"
Yin Shou stamped his feet and could only follow Liang Rui.
Do you have any other choices at this time?
The gate of the government office was closed. At this time, there were only two personal guards left in the government office. Everyone held their breath and stared at the gate of the government office.
They knew very well that when the gate was breached, they could only repay the old general for his support over the years by dying in battle.
