Chapter 604 Mortar Bombing the City

The Liang army was busy outside the city all night, and the Western army on the city followed him and remained asleep all night.

Sun Kewang first ordered the stone thrower to fire the fireball to observe the movements and stills outside the city, but the stone thrower's range was limited, and after the fireball was fired, it was difficult to see the situation outside clearly.

The Western Army on the city was worried that the Liang army would make any tricks, so Sun Kewang patted the troops and went out to check again, but as soon as he left the city, he was attacked by the Liang army and had to retreat into the city in a hurry.

When it was dawn, Sun Kewang looked at the enemy's situation with red eyes and finally saw clearly the scene outside the city.

Liang Jun spent one night building a wall of earth two hundred steps outside the city.

When Sun Kewang saw the earthen wall, he could only see the figures behind him swaying, and his helmets moved, but he could not see clearly what was behind him.

This made Sun Kewang frown, not understanding Liang Jun’s intentions, but he still shouted in a deep voice: “Everyone is cheered up! Be careful of Gao Huan playing tricks.”

When the Western Army on the city asked the orders, they were all cheered up and stared at the Liang army outside the city, afraid that the Liang army would use any damage.

A few days ago, the Liang army blew up the city wall, which made the Western army still scared. They saw the might of the Liang army, and all the soldiers of the Western army looked serious.

However, the soldiers in the city waited for a long time, but the Liang army outside the city did not react.

Seeing that Liang army was not moving, Sun Kewang was about to go down the city, he saw Gao Huan riding a war horse and leading a group of cavalry to line up outside the city.

"What does it mean? Gao Huan wants to attack the city with cavalry?" Sun Kewang frowned and sneered and punched the wall. "Lu Wang see what new tricks you can play today. No matter what means you use, Gao Huan, both Gu Wang and Wuchang remain unmoved. What can you do?"

Gao Huan rode a horse and stood under the banner of Daqi. He glanced at the city wall with a thousand-mile mirror. Seeing the western troops gathered on the top of the city, he sneered, and then shouted in a deep voice, "Ask if the artillery team is ready!"

A flag bearer behind him immediately stepped forward and waved the order flag and posted information in the flag language.

"King, the artillery team raised the flag and asked if they could test the fire and calibrate the artillery position!" After the flag bearer finished the flag and read the response from the opponent, he saluted and reported.

Gao Huan waved: "Agree!"

The flag bearer immediately turned around and whispered another flag.

The actions of the Liang army under the city made the Western army on the city feel a little uneasy.

"Look!" The real soldiers on the city suddenly exclaimed.

White smoke rose behind the low wall, and a loud bang came.

A black shell rose into the air from the white smoke. At first, it was just a black dot. In the blink of an eye, it had already drawn an arc in the air and smashed towards the city!

"Bang!" With a loud bang, the black shell landed on the moat, fifty or sixty steps away, smashed a deep pit and then bounced again.

"Hahaha" There was a burst of laughter on the top of the city wall.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the Western Army couldn't help but curse secretly, "Damn it, I'm scared!" Why do you think the thing is so far away, and it's enough to achieve the city wall?

Seeing this, Sun Kewang frowned and knew that behind the low wall was a general cannon. Although this cannon was not as long as the Red Barbarian cannon, it could adjust the distance by tilting angle.

Sure enough, after a shot, Liang Jun's gunner tinkered with it behind the low wall, and saw white smoke rising and a loud noise came again.

"Boom!" The second shell rose into the air, attracting countless pairs of eyes from the western army on the top of the city to stare at it, watching it rise and fall down.

Everyone felt that the top of their heads was black and a strong wind was cutting through them.

With a loud "bang", a black iron bomb fell from the sky, jumped over the city top, smashed into the house behind the city wall, and the shells fell from the roof, smashing the entire house through, revealing a huge hole.

Now the soldiers of the western army at the city wall were shocked when they saw this and were silent in an instant.

One shot was too far ahead and the Queen Mother of the City made the Western Army realize that the artillery behind the low wall could bombard the city wall.

"There's fire again!" The soldiers on the city exclaimed, and saw the shells rising from behind the low wall getting bigger and bigger.

"Hide!" The city officer roared wildly and squatted down with his head in his arms, but facing the shells falling from the sky, the city soldiers had nowhere to hide.

At this time, the Western troops on the city wall squatted down one after another, and everyone felt a darkness above their heads, and shells roared over their heads and smashed behind the city wall.

With a loud bang, a stone thrower hit the point where it smashed the huge stone thrower directly, and the wood chips splashed, causing the gunners who operated the stone thrower and the archers behind the city wall to splash.

Seeing this, Sun Kewang pulled the corner of his mouth and shouted loudly: "Don't be scared, get close to the corner of the wall to hide!"

The archers and gunners on the back of the city wall quickly abandoned the cannon carts and squeezed into the corner of the wall, entering the dead corner of the mortar shooting.

Sun Ke's face was as deep as water, it was not good! Gao Huan's artillery range was so long that the rock-throwing machine group behind the Wuchang city wall could not reach Gao Huan's artillery array at all.

The artillery shells on the city wall were blocked by the low walls. The shells were hit on the sandbags and could not counteract the mortars located in the cannon pit behind the low walls.

I had no choice but to let Gao Huan burst into a wild blow!

Fortunately, there are dead corners for cannon shooting, and soldiers hiding in the corner, you can't hit them at all.

At this time, after the test firing of the Liang army's artillery array, it had found a suitable elevation angle.

Behind the low wall, Chen Yujie observed the landing points of the three shells, got off the ladder, and ordered the artillery team in the trench: "It's the elevation angle just now, the artillery fired volley!"

"Here's here!" The general of the Western Army at the city exclaimed loudly, reminding the defenders at the city.

Sun Kewang saw balls of white smoke rising behind the low wall, and loud noises connected into a circle. Sixty General Weiyuan cannons opened fire at the same time, presenting a spectacular scene.

Sixty huge iron bombs rose into the air, drew arcs in the sky, landed at an extremely fast speed, and hit the top of Wuchang city!

The shells fell into the moat, splashing water columns and landed behind the city walls. Houses and stone throwers were destroyed and smashed on the top of the city walls, directly sank the city walls.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Western Army on Wuchang City suddenly felt fearful.

Not to mention anything else, just the soldiers who were hit by the shells were smashed into a ball of meat paste, which would make anyone frightened.

"Your Highness, hurry up and go down the city!" Bai Wenxuan took advantage of the artillery attack and hurriedly took Sun Kewang down the city, hiding in the shooting dead corner on the back of the city wall.

At this time, outside the city, General Weiyuan's cannons kept roaring, and shells roared and fell like meteorites in the sky, smashing the stone throwers behind the city wall one by one.

Sun Kewang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said calmly: "Don't panic, hide in the corner, Liang Jun's artillery will not be able to hit!"

At this time, under the Liang army's flag, Gao Huan saw the shelling and the Western Army could no longer be seen on the city wall, so he ordered in a deep voice: "Start an iron shell bomb!"

In the cannon pit, Song Yingxing received a military order and led the craftsmen to personally direct the soldiers. He first filled the gunpowder into the medicine room, then placed a wooden board to isolate it, added a little soil to seal it, then put the shells into the front chamber, separated a layer of wet soil, and finally sealed the muzzle with wax.

At this time, the three cannons were loaded, and Song Yingxing and the craftsmen retreated, leaving only six soldiers to launch the three general Weiyuan cannons.

"Let's start!" Song Yingxing said in a deep voice.

The six soldiers each held torches, first lit the shells from the muzzle, then quickly ignited the fuze on the fire door, and then rolled into the deep pit next to them.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Three loud noises came one after another, and three cannons fired at the same time, and white smoke rose.

Gao Huan heard the sound of cannons and looked nervous. While praying in his heart, he would never explode, and hope that the shells could fall into the city and explode again.

Before Gao Huan could finish reciting the words of praying in his heart, a shell exploded with a "boom". The other two rose into the air, and then drew an arc in the air and landed towards the top of the city.

Gao Huan was about to be overjoyed when a loud "boom" sounded, and another one exploded in the air.

This made Gao Huan's heart suddenly rise, but the last one fell quickly and fell into the city.

No movement!

Behind the city wall, the sound of the first two shells exploded in advance was covered by the roar of other artillery.

Sun Kewang hid behind the city wall and did not see the scene of the first two shells exploding.

At this time, he saw a shell falling down not far away and smashing a stone thrower.

At first he thought it was an ordinary iron bullet, but a soldier exclaimed: "Look, smoke again!"

"Boom!" Before he finished speaking, the smoked shell suddenly exploded.

The white light burst out and a strong wind blew up instantly. The shock wave generated by the explosion wrapped in fragments, iron nails, and surrounding gravel and shattered wood, sweeping all the people and objects around.

The Western Army soldiers hiding behind the city wall were instantly overturned by the air waves, scratched by iron sheets, and their bodies hit the city wall heavily, and their blood was spit out.

Sun Kewang's helmet was lifted off and sat on the ground with horror on his face. Seeing the scene after the explosion, his eyes were filled with fear.
