At this moment, the war drums of both sides were beating loudly.
It can be said that they are comparable in terms of drum sound and momentum.
Under Jiang Hong's order, the imperial army began to charge forward with shields against the sparse arrow rain on the city wall.
Eunuch Bai and Jiang Hong were standing on the watchtower of the camp. Although there was no telescope on the watchtower of Zhao State, Jiang Hong's eyesight was still very good. Although the situation on the battlefield could not be seen clearly in detail, the basic battle situation was still the same.
All in sight.
Eunuch Bai, who was standing next to Jiang Hong, couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw such a scene, "The enemy's resistance is so weak. It seems that the general is going to annihilate all these rebels these days. We look at them as a mob."
There is nothing I can do to resist."
Jiang Hong said with a smile: "You see, Eunuch Bai, we are at the West City Gate at this time, and the one attacking from the west is our main force, and it must be their main force as well. If the West City Wall is like this, I am afraid that the other two walls will be even worse.
"
Eunuch Bai nodded and said, "The general's analysis is reasonable. According to our opinion, it will take two months to destroy the city. I am afraid that in just ten days, the general will be able to pull out all the rebels in the city."
Already."
Jiang Hong cupped his fists and said, "Thank you very much, Eunuch Bai, for your kind words."
Eunuch Bai came here and made a lot of money, so he smiled and said, "You're welcome."
Jiang Hong immediately issued an order: "Quick! Beat the war drum faster. If we can attack the city tower in one go, pigs and sheep will be slaughtered tonight! Pass the order! Whoever climbs the city tower first will receive a reward of ten thousand taels of silver from your majesty!"
After receiving Jiang Hong's order, the messenger immediately went to deliver the message.
After receiving the order, the soldiers in front began to rush forward desperately.
It can be said that the enemy's resistance in this battle is extremely weak, and it is almost the best battle in decades! The first person to climb the flag and capture the flag will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver! For these small soldiers, ten thousand taels of silver will last a lifetime.
It’s endless! There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, and we must rush!
The battles these days are so easy to fight, it can be said that they cannot be called a war at all. The merits and rewards are just a quick glance away.
In their daily drills, very few of them could maintain a good formation when they first entered the battlefield, but now that ten thousand taels of silver has sounded in their minds several times, the formation has long been forgotten!
There were even many people who came after them who ran faster than the others and overtook those in front, all wanting to be the first to cross the moat and climb the ladder to unlock their own 10,000 taels of silver.
The people carrying the ladder are even faster. Who can compare with them in climbing the flag first?
No matter who is closest to the ladder.
At this moment, the Zhao soldiers had long abandoned their original formation, and everyone wanted to rush forward. The Zhao soldiers on the ground were becoming more and more dense, and were about to cross the moat.
At this moment, the guard on the west city wall began to give an order: "Stop all the catapults immediately, and prepare the thunder and kerosene! Don't stop shooting arrows! Don't go too fast! Keep up this speed! Everyone in the firearms camp
Listen! Once they cross the moat, launch the Thunderbolt immediately!"
Everyone who was guarding the city said yes.
At this moment, Eunuch Bai and Jiang Hong were still immersed in the dream that the imperial army was getting closer and closer to the city wall of Shuzhou.
It seems as if as long as you get close to the city wall, the entire Shuzhou can be breached instantly.
Originally, Jiang Hong was not like this. After all, he had been a lieutenant general for several years, so he still had the basic judgments he should have.
Even if the rebels were short of everything, they should have gradually exhausted their supplies after resisting for several rounds. How could they resist with such intensity from the beginning?
But it is a pity that the arrival of Eunuch Bai has made Jiang Hong, a man who is so happy about success, completely forget about all this. He only thinks that I have an army of 200,000, and the rebels are definitely no match!
All I wanted to do was show my face well in front of Eunuch Bai. If Eunuch Bai saw it, it would be equivalent to His Majesty seeing it!
Finally, when Zhao's army crossed the moat and approached the city wall and was about to erect a ladder, the guard of the west city wall waved his hand and said in a cold voice: "Let go!"
The thunderbolt on the catapult was immediately ignited by the fire, and then the catapult threw the thunderbolt out. Not only the catapult, but also the crossbowmen hidden on the city wall also got up one after another. The real battle had just begun.
start.
The enemy troops who were the first to rush below also received the warmest reception. Several ignited thunderbolts were directly thrown down, and the terrifying roar suddenly thundered across the entire battlefield, as if the god of death was charging.
The horn is average.
Wherever the roar passed, there was a sound of wailing.
I have to admit that Zhao State is rich, and even the armor of ordinary soldiers is more luxurious than that of other countries, but this original advantage has turned into a disadvantage in the face of firearms.
Think about what it feels like to be hit by fragments of a firearm and your limbs bleed miserably but you still can't die.
After being hit by a firearm, a person will instinctively fall to the ground. But later, the person does not know it and will only surge forward and be killed by the firearm?
nonexistent!
You will only be trampled to death bit by bit by those who come after you!
This is a process in which you feel dizzy and wake up from pain, wake up from pain and feel dizzy again, and finally lose consciousness completely.
The soldiers closest to the city wall are the worst in martial arts. Those who hit other places have to aim their catapults, but there is no need to hit them, because the thundering thunder is thrown down manually, and it is guaranteed to explode to the desired level.
Explosive people.
All of a sudden, screams were heard one after another on the battlefield, and the Zhao army, which had just wanted to make a great contribution and capture the flag first, was suddenly in disarray.
After witnessing the cruelty of war, they no longer have the lightness they had yesterday.
The Zhao army, which had not seen blood for a long time, had just been bombarded by firearms and was already in chaos. For a moment, the army seemed to have turned into headless flies. The army trampled on each other and suffered numerous casualties.
Some people even jumped into the moat to avoid the bombardment of firearms. Firearms can't resist water!
Although these soldiers did not know how the other party had firearms, since Chu's firearms showed their power in Zhou, grassland and even Shezhao, Zhao people had already had a deep-rooted idea in their hearts.
Firearms are as irresistible as the wrath of God. The party with firearms is absolutely unbeatable!
These people must either run away or die!
The two people who were still chatting and laughing on the watchtower were suddenly dumbfounded and froze in place. What made no sense about the business just now was that they now had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
firearm……
Why does this rebel who claims to be King Xiao Ming have such things as firearms?!
