Chapter 491 All-out siege
"Boom, boom, boom"

Nine loud bangs exploded on the east gate of Bingcheng.

The sound was like thunder from the sky, and it could be heard for miles. The entire city could hear its sound. The nine flames were like meteors falling from the sky. Along with the thick smoke, in the shocked eyes of the defender Jinxia soldiers, several large gaps were opened in the battlements. , smoke and dust billowed, gravel flew, several people were unable to dodge, and their flesh and blood were covered with blood on the spot.

Hundreds of Jinxia defenders around them scurried away with their heads in their hands and spread out to avoid.

Yesterday they saw the terrifying power of Chen Jun's "strange thunder", which no one could resist, which made them panic all day. Now that it was coming again, how could they dare to stand on the city wall as a living target, squatting or lying down? Get down.

If Gar hadn't given the death order to hold on, everyone would have fled under the city wall.

Just when they thought they would be fine after fighting for one round just like yesterday.

So when you hear the noise stop, stick to your post again.

The result is here.

"Boom boom. Boom."

"Boom boom."

After noticing Chen Jun's advance, Gar immediately realized that Chen Jun might be about to attack the city, and quickly ordered the defenders to meet the enemy.

This scene scared the Jinxia defenders next to them who were also preparing to come back and stick to their posts. They retreated again.

Behind each catapult stood a launcher. After receiving the order, he quickly ignited the "clay bomb" in the bomb delivery basket.

The next moment, their pupils dilated instantly, and they saw an "iron wall" standing beside the moat. Behind the iron wall, there were hundreds of catapults.

By this time, all the explosive shells and solid iron pellets had been fired.

It was during this gap that Chen Mo asked the soldiers and horses besieging the city to advance towards the east gate.

The city wall was suddenly cleared.

It wasn't until the loud noise stopped for about half a quarter of an hour that the Jinxia defenders on the east city gate dared to raise their heads, approached the battlements with panic on their faces, and looked outside the city.

Chang En waved the flag in his hand with excitement on his face: "Let go."

"huhuhuhu"

In an instant, hundreds of catapults moved in response, throwing lit clay bombs at the defenders on the city wall.

Another nine fire pythons landed on the wall of the east gate of Bingcheng. The explosive bombs exploded. Broken iron pieces and gravel flew everywhere along with the smoke. Many Jinxia defenders were injured by the iron pieces and gravel. Lying on the ground writhing and wailing.

Then the catapults were transported forward and placed behind this line of defense.

Chen Jun in the front row set up iron shields one after another, forming the first line of defense.

The east gate of Bingcheng, which was originally solid, is now in ruins.

At this time, Chen Jun outside the East City Gate had already advanced to the moat.

However, the defenders on the city wall were so overwhelmed by the artillery fire that they could not even lift their heads. Unlike Tuoba Zhu and Gar, they could mobilize their innate spiritual energy to protect their bodies. Amidst the loud noises, they were too timid to raise their heads. Come forward.

The city walls were filled with the acrid smell of gunpowder smoke and sulfur, and wails could be heard one after another.

Tuoba Zhu and Gar stood on the top of the city, their bodies filled with thick innate spiritual energy. They did not avoid Chen Jun's "strange thunder".

Broken pottery fragments and the iron nails and sawdust contained in them flew on the city wall with the explosion, and countless Jinxia defenders with swords and guns in their hands screamed.

At this moment, Gar, who was standing on the top of the city, suddenly changed his expression and said, "Why is this strange thunder different from the previous ones?"

"No, Chen Jun has crossed the river." Tuoba Zhu raised his eyebrows.

Under the cover of the clay pot bombs dropped by catapults, the first line of defense established by Chen Jun opened several gaps. Each team of four bare-chested strong men carried a boat the size of an ordinary fishing boat out. moat.

There are dozens of such teams.

After they got off the moat, they lined up the boats, laid planks on them, and connected all the dozens of boats.

"Chen Jun is building a pontoon bridge, please give the order to stop them." Tuoba Zhu said anxiously. Gar's heart skipped a beat when he saw this.

In order to better defend the city, they not only widened the moat, but also destroyed all the bridges crossing the river.

In Gar's mind, even if Chen Jun's "strange thunder" was powerful, it would be of no use as long as they could not cross the moat.

"Quickly release the arrow, release the arrow."

Gar quickly ordered.

However, under the pressure of running fire, there were very few archers who could fight back.

Not only that, ordinary bows and arrows cannot shoot this far.

Some large baggage such as Jinxia's catapults had long been taken away by Tamerlane when he went south.

With the fall of Tamerlane, these baggage were naturally destroyed and captured by Chen's army.

"Where's the bed crossbow? Quickly shoot with the bed crossbow"

Tuoba Zhu watched the unstrung arrow fly halfway to the moat and then fall into the water, causing no damage at all. He quickly urged Gar to order the crossbow to be used.

But Gar's soldiers said: "Our bed crossbow was just destroyed by Chen Jun's strange thunder."

Just when Gar's face changed drastically and he was thinking about how to deal with it, bad things happened one after another, and the people below came to take revenge.

The south gate and north gate of the merged city were also attacked by Chen's army.

Although there were more than 30,000 Jinxia soldiers in the annexation of the city, after Chen Mo besieged the city, the Gars were dispersed to four city gates for defense. In addition, people needed to maintain order in the city and guard the granaries. The defenders of each city wall Not much, relatively speaking.

Now that the three city gates were attacked at the same time, it undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on Gar.

"Hold it, hold it back, no matter what method you use, you can't let Chen Jun cross the moat." Gar said urgently.

Different from the siege but not attack a few days ago, today's Chen army attacked the city very fiercely.

On the moat, there were many corpses of Sergeant Chen floating.

As the pontoon bridge is built closer to the city wall, the archers on the city wall can shoot.

But these did not stop Chen Jun. Instead, he continued to move forward bravely.

The floating bridge will be built soon.

On this day, the setting sun in the evening was like blood, and the sunset stained the sky with blood red, just like the tragic battlefield with blood flowing below, which was bright and dazzling.

The pontoon outside the East City Gate was successfully built.

"Let the trapped guards withdraw and let the Shenwu Guards and Jiangdong Army attack the city."

The construction of the pontoon caused certain casualties to the trapped guards. Regarding this, Chen Mo's expression did not change much.

After all, in a siege battle, even if there is artillery cover and facing such a wide moat, there will be some casualties. As long as the casualties are not very large, it is acceptable.

The reason why Chen Mo did not attack the city in the past few days was that, in addition to attacking the city's heart, he also asked the knight guards and personal guards to cut down trees and build ships to build pontoon bridges.

"woooooo"

The screams and long trumpets sounded, and the Shenwu Guards and Jiangdong Army outside the East City Gate, armed with bucklers, swords and guns, and some carrying ladders, rushed toward the East City Gate through the pontoon.

"Catapult Cover"

There are no more clay bombs, now stone bombs are dropped.

ps: There are some glitches.
