I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 436, Puyang offensive and defensive battle
Yanzhou, Puyang!
Gao Lan's helpless Huanglong built the camp under the city of Puyang, but he could do nothing. Originally, the remnants of Ma Yan and Lu Kuang were placed under the city of Puyang by him, trying to form a horn.

But he was soon taught to be a man by Huanglong's artillery.Hundreds of artillery salvoes were fired, and the power shook the sky and the earth.The camp below the city was easily smashed by the artillery, and the remnant soldiers even fled to Puyang City crying like their father and mother.

But Gao Lan wanted to fight back, but found that his trebuchet with the farthest range was only 300 steps away, which was less than half of the range of Dagan's artillery, and the trebuchet couldn't reach people at all.

So Gao Lan could only watch helplessly as Huanglong demolished the camp under the city and surrounded Puyang on three sides.

Although he still left the south side for him to escape, Gao Lan didn't even dare to send Tanma out because he saw tens of thousands of cavalry roaring past with his own eyes. Sending Tanma to the wild can only be courting death now. A lonely city has been formed!

"General, the enemy's artillery battalion has come up!" Ma Yan pointed to the moving artillery not far below the city wall with a terrified tone.

The muzzle of Heidongdong has already aimed at the city wall of Puyang, and Ma Yan is panicked after seeing the power of the artillery!

Seeing hundreds of cannons pointing at this place, Gao Lan's face was also solemn. He had seen the power of cannons in Jizhou before, but the cannons at that time were mostly supporting, and he was under the city of Puyang a day ago.Once again, I saw the power of artillery.

Hundreds of artillery were fired, and a single bombing destroyed a battalion of soldiers. This power is completely different from Jizhou back then!

"General, why don't we just rush out of the city and destroy these cannons, as long as there are these cannons, we can only be beaten passively!" Lu Kuang said excitedly!He was still unconvinced by his defeat. He was defeated twice, but the enemy was never encountered, and his soldiers were scattered by the artillery.

Gao Lan shook his head and said: "The most important thing for us now is to defend Puyang City and buy time for the lord and the others to gather soldiers. Rushing out of the city is sacrificing the lives of soldiers in vain! If Puyang City is captured by Huanglong, we will die without redemption Already!"

At this time, the city became quiet!Gao Lan and the others looked strange!
"Artillery Battalion, fire!" All of a sudden, the war drums thundered and the artillery roared!

"Hey, hey, hey!" Hundreds of roars came, and Gao Lan's frightened face changed drastically: "Hurry up and hide in the city!"

"Boom boom boom!" Hundreds of shells either hit the city wall and bounced off, or hit the soldiers on the city wall, smashing people to pieces, leaving only a pool of blood, or hitting the towers in the city, smashing It's turned upside down.There are also a small number of directly plunged into the moat, setting off spring waves.

Gao Lan and the others under the city were not injured, but they were also frightened by the shells fired into the city. The power of the shells was astonishing. Anything that stood in front of it would be smashed to pieces by him.Gao Lan and the others saw with their own eyes that several houses close to the city wall were directly smashed down by artillery shells.

Gao Lan said solemnly: "You two are guarding the east and west walls, and you must not let the big army break through the walls!"

Ma Yan and Lu Kuang nodded and said, "No!"

Then the two left with their guards.

Gao Lan ordered again: "Leave a group of soldiers on the city wall to monitor every move of the main army, and the rest of the soldiers all withdraw from the city wall and hide in the corner!"

This is the experience he gained in the battle of Jizhou.Even if the artillery can attack in an arc, it can't hit the corner of the wall. It can be said that the safest place is at the foot of the city wall.

The messenger will deliver Gao Lan's order immediately!The soldiers on the city wall also retreated quickly!

But at this time, a new round of artillery continued to bombard, and facing the artillery high view felt that even the city walls were trembling.

He saw the trembling soldiers one by one, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

This won't be his last battle, will it?Will Puyang City become his burial place?

Although Gao Lan was also experienced in many battles, but comparing the strength, equipment and types of troops of the two sides, he found that he could not escape even if he wanted to.

The only way out is for Yuan Shao to lead troops to support Puyang, but he also knows that there are tens of thousands of cavalry in the outskirts of Puyang, and it is very difficult for Yuan Shao to support him!
Gao Lan built Puyang City very solidly. Huanglong bombed Puyang City for a long time, but apart from smashing some archery towers, female walls and city wall bricks, the rest did not have much success. Even if the city wall of Puyang was hit by thousands of shells, The shells did not damage the main structure of the city wall except for smashing the Puyang city into potholes, and the Puyang city still stood upright.

When the bombing was over, Gao Lan climbed up the city wall, inspected the defense facilities on the city wall, and found that the main structure of the city wall was not damaged, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief.Although the artillery of the Dagan Army is powerful, it still can't hurt the city wall of Puyang. Judging from the level of bombing today, the city wall of Puyang can hold for at least a month.

But Huang Long, who was watching the artillery battle with a telescope, was not in a good mood.

Although he knew that Yuan Shaoxiu's fortresses were strong, he didn't expect them to be so strong that the bombing of thousands of shells only shattered some city wall bricks.

And he could see from the binoculars that Gao Lan had retreated the soldiers down the city wall in advance, that is to say, he didn't even kill a few soldiers with these thousands of shells.This result is too ugly!

But in the face of Gao Lan's tactics, Huanglong didn't have a good solution. There is no such thing as infantry coordination in this era.Even the big army dare not stand in front of the artillery!
Although there is no one on the city wall at this time, if he dares to command the army to charge up, the city wall will soon be full of Yuan Shao's soldiers. According to their experience, a Wubao stationed with 5000 people, as long as the equipment is complete, is enough. Prevent the attack of 10 people.

Without artillery support, even if all the 5 soldiers under his command were wiped out, they might not be able to break through Puyang City.

The school captain Fuyun said: "General, we can bombard the soldiers on the city wall with flying thunder cannons. The flying thunder cannons have a range of 200 steps, which is beyond the range of the crossbow arrows of the Puyang defenders. We can lead the army to guard 200 steps away. , and then bombarded the soldiers on the Puyang city wall with flying thunder cannons. If Gao Lan dared to lead the soldiers away from the city wall, we would send soldiers to set up ladders to attack the city. At a distance of 200 steps, Gao Lan would have no time to react! If he placed the soldiers in Under the city, there is no way to stop our attack."

"And if he leaves the soldiers on the city wall, we will continue to bombard his soldiers with flying thunder cannons to see if Gao Lan has more soldiers or we have more flying thunder cannons!"

Huanglong was overjoyed, Fuyun's tactics had solved Gao Lan's tactics of resisting their artillery!
The shell of Feilei Cannon has 10 catties of black powder, and everyone within 10 steps of the shell will be killed, even if it is 20 steps away, it can be affected.It can be said that the lethality of thousands of thunder cannon shells is far stronger than that of thousands of shells.
