I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 250 Heavy artillery siege!

At this time, Pan Zhu and Ganchang were inspecting the city defense.

Looking at the rolling Shu army camp outside the city, Ganchang was a little anxious. He said to Pan Zhu: "The envoy has been killed. The Shu army has no room for negotiation. It seems to be a hard battle!"

"You can rest assured that the Shu army's killing of our envoys has aroused the fighting spirit of our defenders. Jiangling City is impregnable and the Shu army cannot break in!" Pan Zhu said calmly, "Let's wait for the return of the general (Zhuge Jin). .”

As soon as Pan Zhu finished speaking, a stone suddenly flew from the front.

With a crash, it landed on the grass below the city. After making a shallow pit, it rolled on the grass for a distance and finally stopped at the foot of the city.

The people on the tower were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

Even Gan Chang laughed.

Pan Zhu laughed and said: "Hahaha, this kind of trebuchet can't even hit the city wall. I'll see how the Shu army attacks the city!"

Then some more stones flew and still hit the grass in front of the city wall.

The laughter on the top of the city was even louder.

Everyone in the Han camp was silent for a while, and Xue Liang said awkwardly: "General, maybe..."

Li Heng smiled and said: "Hahaha, I know, you need to adjust the counterweight, just keep adjusting. Also, these stones are too small. Are there any larger stones?"

"Yes, there are enough stones."

Li Heng looked at the top of the city and said, "There is no need to adjust now. We will attack directly tomorrow morning."

"Here!"

That night, everything was fine.

Pan Zhu and Ganchang continued drinking.

Early in the morning of March 19th, it was still dark. The guards at the top of the city were taking a nap, and some of the guards were patrolling.

Suddenly, a stone fell from the sky.

With a bang, it hit the city wall. The city wall trembled slightly, waking up the soldiers above.

"What happened!" someone shouted.

People looked around in horror.

"It hit, the ratio is correct!" Xue Liang said with great joy.

Li Heng said: "Let all 100 units move!"

The hearts of the Han soldiers were lifted.

Three artillerymen lifted a stone and placed it in the trough under the trebuchet. The other soldiers immediately dispersed to both sides, several meters away.

When the artilleryman pulled the rope below and the counterweight lost its traction, the bearing wrapped around the rope pulling the lever instantly lost force and rotated rapidly, and the lever jumped suddenly.

The entire trebuchet made a dull mechanical sound.

The stone cannon in the cannon trough was pulled out by a huge force, drew an arc in the air, and rushed towards the city wall.

boom……

This stone cannon, which weighed dozens of kilograms, once again hit the earthen wall of Jiangling City.

After leaving a crater in the wall, the stone cannon crashed to the ground.

Before the soldiers at the top of the city could react, they saw countless dense stone cannons flying towards the city wall.

Like a meteor falling from the sky!

bang bang bang...

Wu Jun suddenly felt the city wall under his feet shaking violently.

"Go and report quickly..."

A chief shouted, but before his voice fell, a stone cannon suddenly flew over and hit him on the head.

The head exploded instantly, splashing red and white all over the face of the person next to him, but it was still warm.

The stone cannon was covered with brains and rolled over the city wall, then fell behind the city wall. Finally, it hit the ground and rolled down a distance, leaving a thick blood mark.

On the top of the city, everyone's eyes widened, and they were stunned when they saw that the chief who had been talking to them before had lost his head.

"Get down quickly!"

Someone shouted, and a group of people immediately instinctively fell to the ground.

Stone cannons drew arcs in the air and flew towards the city wall.

When it hit the city wall, dirt flew and the city wall shook.

The soldiers felt the vibrations of the city wall getting stronger and stronger. They were so frightened that they lay on the ground covering their heads and screamed in fear.

In the early morning, there were just pedestrians on the streets of Jiangling City. They heard a series of dense rumblings coming from the direction of the South City Gate, and they all looked in that direction. There was also horror on their faces.

The dull sounds were as if there was a giant outside the city who was hitting the city wall in turn with his huge and hard fist.

An overwhelming feeling of suffocation came over me.

Soon, more people were alarmed by the sounds. They walked to the streets in panic and looked at the direction from which the sounds came.

The patrolling government officials hurried to the county government office.

"Something bad has happened! Something bad has happened!" The official rushed in and saw Pan Zhu and Gan Chang still sleeping soundly at the wine table.

"Junhou! Something bad has happened!"

"Why are you panicking!" Pan Zhu woke up angrily.

"The Shu army is attacking the city!"

"If you attack the city, you will attack the city. How can we still attack it?"

"There was a shaking sound outside, like God was angry!"

"Nonsense! Be careful, I will cut off your tongue!" Pan Zhu was furious.

Ganchang on the side also woke up in a daze: "What's the matter?"

"Huh?" Gan Chang rubbed his head, "What's the sound outside?"

"It's the sound of the Shu army attacking the city!"

Pan Zhu suddenly became more awake, raised his ears, and heard the sound.

The two looked at each other, immediately packed up and ran outside.

At this time, Li Heng stood on the coaching stage.

The military flag fluttered in the spring breeze under the rising sun.

Li Heng stared at the city head calmly.

One hundred heavy trebuchets began to fully operate, like a hundred beasts crawling outside the moat, roaring angrily.

This so-called indestructible fortress in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River has begun to tremble under his feet!

At this scene, even the Han army's own people were so shocked that they stared blankly at this scene.

Especially Du Yu, his mouth was slightly open and his eyes were unblinking.

"This cannon is extremely powerful!" Lu Zhi said blankly.

Du Yu murmured: "Not only is it extremely powerful, I'm afraid all the rules of war in the world will have to change in the future!"

After speaking, he raised his head and glanced at Li Heng on the stage, his eyes becoming complicated.

Pan Zhu and Gan Chang had just arrived at the city. When they looked up, they saw a stone cannon smashing down a Wu soldier.

There was no time to dodge, and the stone cannon came down, hitting half a meter next to Pan Zhu, and continued to roll back for a while with a pool of blood.

The soldier who was hit was like a kite with its string broken. It fell from the top of the city, hit the ground, rolled forward for a distance, and stopped just at Pan Zhu's feet.

The structure of the soldier's head and body has been distorted. The body is facing upward, but the face is facing downward.

The stone cannon hit the chest area, which was bloody and bloody.

The broken internal organs followed the tumbling just now and were all over the floor.

Pan Zhu was so frightened by the stone cannon that his mind went blank. When he came to his senses and saw the scene at his feet, he immediately began to feel nauseated.

Everything I ate and drank last night was vomited all over the floor.

Gan Chang on the other side collapsed on the ground and couldn't help vomiting.

These are the second and third generations of the Wu Kingdom, and their parents and ancestors are all famous generals of the Wu Kingdom.

But they no longer have that blood.

Everyone who followed around was also stunned.

However, the battlefield will not give them time to be shocked.

The stone cannon crossed the wide moat and continued to smash the city wall.

Some continued to fly over the city wall and smashed into the city.

Jiangling City will probably never forget this day, the feeling of despair dominated by fear.
