The rise of the prince

Chapter 753 Counterattack
"Congratulations, Lord Hexi!"

"Congratulations, General!"

"The general gave birth to a good daughter, I am really envious of others."

"Master Wei has been so successful since then!"

"."

All kinds of flattery and praise continued, Wei Chaoren just nodded his head, his face was serious and calm, but in fact he was also happy in his heart, wishing he could cry three times.

He only received the letter from the prince two days ago, but he did not expect that the news had already spread.

The prince said a lot in his letter, but what excited him the most was the fact that he wanted to marry Yubai.

In the future, his daughter will have the position of concubine at least, and the Wei family has a big backer in the palace, so he is naturally happy. Before that, he was worried about this matter. That stupid daughter of his family always runs around the king of Jin. She is already a human being. As we all know, what will happen if King Jin doesn't want her in the future, how can she marry her.

This time King Jin actually said it directly, and while excited, he was also more determined to defend the city.

Outside the city, the Jin army had been besieging the city for dozens of days. The buildings and cars had been built two days ago, but due to the bad weather, the Jin army did not launch an attack. They were waiting for a good opportunity.

Today, the weather has turned for the better, and the golden army is still not moving. They are waiting for the water to dry up.

Climbing the city is inherently dangerous, and if it is wet and slippery, it is more likely to cause problems. At least the head coach of the Jin Army can hold his breath, which shows that he has experience, but the cannon is fine when the weather is good. The corners of Wei Chaoren's mouth turned up slightly.

Another day passed, the sky was bright and clear early in the morning, and there was no cloud in the entire northern sky.

As soon as the sun rose, the Jinren began to dig wet sand by the stream and smear it on the buildings and ladders.

The defenders at the top of the city saw it and reported it to Wei Chaoren in a hurry. He went to the top of the city to check it himself, and then said: "Send the order, all the generals are ready, the Jin people are going to attack the city."

Then he went to the west section to see the artillery positions in person. The reason why the artillery was located here was that the enemy could not attack from here because of the steep hills below, and it was too far away from the city gate to support the battle at the top of the city.

But that was just an ordinary situation, and the artillery was completely different. If the artillery was set up so far away, it could still attack, and it would not attract the attention of the enemy.

The angle of fire from the side is wide and easy to aim. Wei Chaoren greeted these newly trained artillerymen, and then repeatedly told them to be good at shooting. Everyone nervously nodded in agreement.

These artillerymen were trained from the Guanbei Army. Unlike the New Army, they have experienced actual combat and are skilled in the use of artillery, so nervousness is inevitable.

Wei Chaoren simply asked his deputy to direct the battle from the front, while he stayed on the side of the artillery position.

As soon as the sun rose, the Jin people began to bury pots and cook food. After noon, they began to line up by the stream in the distance, and the tall buildings were slowly pushed down in front of them.

This time there was a building car, and the morale of the Jin army soared. As the Chinese army sounded the horn, the densely packed army began to approach the city.

Just like the large shadows cast by the clouds in the sky, this time the Jin army spread out for several miles, at least tens of thousands of people.

They want to finish their work in one battle!

With the building car, the morale of the Jin army was very high, and they quickly launched an attack, braving the arrow rain to advance to the city, and then the forwards had shields in their hands, and the formation was [-] steps away, and they stopped advancing.

Three tall wooden building cars were slowly pushed out through the crowd.

In order to push the building carts, the Jin Army dispatched a small group of troops to fill up the potholes in the road under the city, and dozens of people died for this.

But they definitely felt that it was worth it. The tall car was like a giant beast, and the top was even higher than the city wall of Yanshan City. Ride on the head of the city.

Below is a folded wooden plank, which is folded and laid layer by layer, so that soldiers can trot from the bottom to the top of the city.

Behind the baffle, there are already a dozen fully armed dead soldiers, followed by elite forwards, as long as the building cars meet the city, they can enter the city like walking on the ground!
Dozens of people tried their best to push the building cart forward, and there was a constant rain of arrows at the top of the city, but most of them were blocked by the building cart. If someone was shot, someone would go on top immediately, and the elite troops in the rear followed closely behind the building cart.

Seeing that the towers were getting closer and closer to the city wall, the defenders could not ignite these towers with rockets, because the surface was covered with wet mud, and the morale of the Jin army was getting higher and higher.

When the trolley was pushed to the front of the city wall, there was a burst of shouts from the Jin army, and everyone's eyes lit up.

A general of the Golden Army in gorgeous armor rode to the front to boost morale. He was not in the front position, and the crossbow at the top of the city could not harm him. He said loudly as if to boost morale.

The soldiers of the Golden Army followed suit and shouted, becoming more and more excited.

At a certain moment, Wei Chaoren on the top of the wall suddenly said: "Fire!"

The soldiers had been waiting for a long time, and quickly lit the fuse.

Boom!

There was a loud noise from the top of the city, and blue smoke rose and filled the top of the city, blocking Wei Chaoren's sight.

But Jin Jun's side was different. Everyone was excited and ready to rush to the top of the city. Suddenly there was a piercing scream, and the tall building car in front exploded instantly, sawdust flying everywhere, and then amidst the whistling sound, the building car exploded directly up!
Yes, it exploded!
The wood was broken and shattered, the people at the top were blown away, screamed and fell from a height of several feet, the rightmost tower fell to the ground with a bang, and the golden army who was pressing close was crying and howling.

The upper end of the tower in the middle is also like a tree stump blown off by a strong wind. The upper floor has been smashed to pieces, and the dozen or so people on the top are either half-dead or have only mutilated limbs.
The rightmost tower did not fall, but the right rear load-bearing wood was discounted and crumbling.

The entire frontier was in a state of distress, wailing, but more people looked at each other, at a loss, and even the general of the Jin army who came up to boost morale was stunned for a while, he stared blankly at the top of Gao Gao Yanshan Mansion, trying to find out what happened .

The Jin Army on the right side of the army formation wanted to go forward to rush to repair the building car, but there was no way, because such a big guy was too big, and there was no way to rush to repair it temporarily.

The entire Golden Army forward was in chaos and noisy.

Moreover, the Jin army suddenly fell into a dilemma. Three buildings and cars were destroyed, two were destroyed, and one was in danger. Should the city be attacked or not?
Attack, two building vehicles were inexplicably destroyed, and the rest were about to fall. If they didn't attack, the morale was boosted for a long time, and they cheered for a long time. If they didn't attack suddenly, it would be embarrassing and damage morale.
But they didn't have to worry about it soon, and the second round of shelling began immediately. The only remaining building car was smashed to pieces by the screaming iron balls, and this time, many shells hit the Jin army formation directly, and the top of the city was crackling. The sound of muskets sounded, and blue smoke floated up. The defenders used guns instead of bows and crossbows.

The golden army exploded in an instant. They had seen muskets before, and the defenders had used them before, but there were not so many of them, but they had never felt such a thing as artillery.

The naked eye can only vaguely see the shadow of the iron ball, flying and rolling unscrupulously in the crowd, really knocked to death, bumped and injured, the unprepared forward was beaten, fear dominated the majority, and there was no one left. How many, but they all ran back in fear.

But at this time, the camp in the rear exploded everywhere!

The camp was hit by an unknown attack, but they didn't know where the enemy was at all. They could only hear the faint sound of explosions in the distance.

Wei Chaoren watched the Jin army's camp explode from a distance from the top of the city, and he was also horrified. He couldn't see where the artillery came from, but his daughter had already told him that it was a new artillery from the new army, and the prince was afraid. There was a mistake in the war in the north, so she was specially asked to bring twenty gates to the north.

Her artillery position is arranged behind the southeast side of Jinren, separated by a forest five miles away!As long as the Jin people lose in front, she will bombard the Jin people's camp to further damage the Jin people's morale.

At that time, he couldn't believe it when he heard it, there was a Jinren camp four or five miles away in the woods?

But seeing it now is even more like a dream. He can only vaguely see the shells falling in a big arc in the distance, and then those shells are different from their iron balls, and they will explode immediately , Destroyed.

In fact, it seems that not many people were killed. He saw that about 30 to [-] people were killed, and a section of the horse-rejecting fence and several tents were blown up, because his daughter's artillery did not know the layout of the Jin Army's camp, and only fired according to the general location. .

But even so, the thunderbolt that fell from the sky made the golden man feel puzzled by the shelling, which still frightened the golden man to abandon his account and flee north.

Seeing this, the enemies below the city collapsed even faster, and in less than half an hour, they also retreated in a mighty manner, retreating desperately to the north, and continued to attack the top of the city with guns.

But the Jin army was indeed brave. Even so, when they retreated, they rarely dropped their helmets and armor, and Wei Chaoren did not dare to attack rashly.

At the foot of Yanshan City, the Jin people dropped their siege equipment, at least thousands of corpses, and the buildings they painstakingly built turned into a pile of rotten wood
