"What we have is gunpowder!" Song Jirong sneered.

The [-] defenders of Yunzhou City have been able to defend until now, which has a lot to do with Song Jirong's maturity.Different from Zhang Yu's strategy when he was in Jincheng, Zhang Yu thought of waiting for the reinforcements to go north when facing the attack of Sathorn, so he scattered his soldiers and horses in various cities in order to seek perfection and fight for more In time, guard Jincheng and those food and supplies.But Song Jirong was different. Although there were [-] Shatuo people in Niupi Pass in the north of Yunzhou, he never trusted those Hu people.

From the very beginning, he had no intention of defending the outer cities of Yunzhou. After resisting the Hu people's vanguard for a while and successfully withdrawing all the people and supplies in the outer cities to Datong, Song Jirong ordered to abandon the cities and retreat into Yunzhou. up.At the same time, he recruited a large number of people to help defend the city, and divided the [-] Qin troops into five divisions. In the first few days, there were actually only [-] Qin troops guarding the city. It's just the people.Qin Jun took turns to rest and has been recharging his energy.

With excellent battlefield experience, Song Jirong defended Yunzhou like a fortress, and the casualties were not too large.In addition to the large amount of equipment, food and grass stored in Yunzhou City, as well as the firearms and equipment they brought in, the key point is that Song Jirong and the generals are not comparable to the auxiliary officers in Jincheng.In Jincheng, only Zhang Yu, a young general, has rich battle experience.But in Yunzhou, there are a group of old fried dough sticks here.

Even their 1 soldiers are not the low-strength logistics auxiliary soldiers in Jincheng. They are all elite united soldiers from various states.Twenty battalions of 3000 people are united as elites. Except that they are not soldiers in name, they are not weaker than soldiers at all. They even have [-] light cavalry, real cavalry, not mounted infantry.

In addition to the [-] light cavalry, they also had four full artillery battalions, which were originally allocated to Zhang Ziyi to recover Daibei and attack important towns such as Shuozhou and Yanmen.As a result, the situation changed, Zhang Zimian hurried south, and the four artillery battalions, the artillery carts, ballistas and gunpowder all stayed in Yunzhou.

"The artillerymen can come out and fuck!" Cui Decheng had a chicken leg dangling from his mouth, and he was still eating it deliciously at this time.While eating the chicken legs, he stared at the catapults of the three barbarians outside the city.It can be said that these three artillery formations pose a great threat, although the inclined walls modified by the Qin Army can weaken the lethality of the artillery formations.But at the moment when the enemy is aggressively attacking, if the Qin army wants to establish a flying thunder cannon position on the city wall, it must first eradicate these three catapult positions that pose a great threat to the flying thunder cannon position.

Get rid of the remote first!

"Let our general bombard the three catapult formations, then let the artillery battalion's heavy ballista formation destroy the barbarian's moving buildings, and then use the flying thunder artillery formation to deal with their archer formation!"

Song Jirong's voice was still cold and steady, without any fluctuations.

An incomparably sharp piercing whistle resounded over the battlefield.

Yelv Shilu's face changed, damn it, the Qin army's generals were fired.He knew that the full fire of the three artillery formations would attract retaliation from the general's artillery formation.

boom.

boom.

A series of eight violent bangs came out, shaking the entire battlefield, and then, on the original three catapult positions, the original two hundred catapults and thousands of soldiers almost disappeared.Eight huge pits appeared on the spot, and then there were fragments of corpses and catapults all over the place.One blow almost wiped out all the catapults, and many of the remaining ones were damaged by the shock, and some were directly buried in the soil.What's even more frightening is that the shelling by the Qin army added Greek fire bullets to the shells. As a result, there were dots of Greek fire burning everywhere in that area, and whatever stuck to it burned.Many barbarians who were just stunned, and those catapults that were still intact, were scrapped under the second fire attack.

Yelu Shilu shook his head, looking at the place covered by white smoke and black fire, his face was pale and pale, the effect of Qin Jun's retaliation far exceeded his expectations.His artillery array was reported to be gone, and the remaining dozens of them were considered good, and they couldn't make any threat for a while. The most important thing was that his gunners were gone.

"**!" Yelu Fugu only picked out his ears, but there was still only a buzzing in his ears. He cursed loudly, and then shouted loudly at Yelu Shilu: "Fortunately, we still have a hand. Damn."

With a dark face, Yelu Shilu waved for the messenger, and also shouted: "Did you see the positions of the Qin people's eight giant cannons just now? Fuck, they fought well just now, this time it's our turn .Tell the gunners, where the guns are, the fireballs cover them, shit."

The messenger left quickly, and after a while, he arrived at the other end of the catapult formation that had just been destroyed, and shouted loudly at a group of barbarians.Then, those barbarian leaders turned their heads and yelled a few times, and saw that there was a sudden burst of dust on the ground that was originally a flat land, and then a huge camouflage belt was lifted, revealing the hidden under it. There are many catapults, and these catapults are more than the previous two hundred, and they are taller.

This is the killer mirror that the barbarians used to deal with the general's cannon. There were a total of [-] catapults, which were rushed to work day and night, and then they were hidden on the battlefield, and they were never taken out.Yelu Shilu was very aware of the power of the General's artillery. The biggest purpose of his previous two hundred projectiles was to lure the Qin army to counterattack, and then expose the position, so that they could destroy the powerful artillery formation of the General.

"Have you seen the location of Qin's cannon clearly?" A tall man with blond hair and blue eyes shouted at his gunners.

"See clearly."

"Very good, then give me a hard fight and burn them all into a pile of charcoal!"

"Yes!"

shhhhhh!

Three hundred catapults, which were one size larger than the original catapults, launched a salvo, and what they projected was no longer just stone bombs, but replaced by a hundred catapults, and a hundred catapulted large fireballs. There are a hundred of them, although they are far less powerful than the Qin army, they are also very powerful machine-fired flying fires, that is, gunpowder cans.

This was a long-planned counterattack, the purpose of which was to destroy the eight super general cannons that the Qin army possessed to deter the entire battlefield.

With these eight giant cannons, it is really too much of a threat to the tribal army.

boom.

Rumble.

The gunners of the barbarians were not as accurate as those of the Qin army, but the mass projection of three hundred gun carriages still changed the entire battlefield. The location was covered, and it was blown up beyond recognition.

Cui Decheng stood on the tower, looking back, the chicken leg bone fell silently from his mouth.

"****, Gouyue's Hu Chou can still play such dirty tricks!"

Song Jirong and the others were also taken aback. Limited by their strength, they hadn't sent anyone out of the city these days, so naturally they didn't know that the Hu people had hidden such a force on the battlefield.This sudden blow really shocked everyone.

"Check the status of the general's cannon immediately!"

The artillery battalion quickly reported, "Five of the eight general cannons were severely damaged, two were only slightly damaged, and one was basically fine."

"How long will it take to fix it?"

"It will take two or three hours for the two doors that are light, and it will take at least several days for the five doors that are severely damaged to be repaired."

Cui Decheng sighed: "Fortunately, our ammunition has been stored strictly separately. Otherwise, it is estimated that there will be no one left. But these dogs know how to hide a hand, don't we have it? Let the artillery battalion send the other ten generals All the cannons are rolled out, this time, we will also take all the remaining [-] catapults. Damn, I don’t believe that you can still make a cannon formation!”

The artillery battalion received the order and executed it immediately.

On the barbarian's slingshot cluster, the blond man was laughing, pointing to the black smoke rising from Yunzhou City, and said: "If I, Reinhardt, make a move, who can be the enemy!"

Before the words fell, there was already a familiar whistling sound in his ears.

His face changed, "The general bombarded, how is this possible?"

In an instant, several [-]-jin heavy bullets had already hit the catapult formation, the first one missed the catapult formation, but landed in the shield guarding in front of the catapult formation, suddenly, there was a loud thunder In the middle, the flames were soaring into the sky, flesh and blood flew across the sky, screaming again and again, and half of the entire shield array was directly smashed.

Immediately afterwards, there were ten loud bangs, and several heavy bombs fell from the catapult position one after another. Suddenly, the tall catapult made of countless pieces of wood was destroyed and turned into a mess.

The killer mirror that Yelu Shilu had carefully prepared was vulnerable and completely destroyed again!

"This is the power of the general's cannon. It's really pleasing to the eye. Damn, it's cool!" Cui Decheng looked at the destroyed barbarian catapult positions far below the city, and laughed proudly.

Song Jirong raised his brows twice, with a little joy on his face, he said in a deep voice, "The barbarian's catapult array has been destroyed, pass on the order to let the heavy crossbow catapults fire with all their strength, and target the enemy's moving chariots of all kinds. Yunche, destroy them, and never allow them to get close to the city wall. After the general cannon is ready, he will immediately go into battle together. There is no need to save ammunition, load shotguns and magic fire bombs, and teach these mustaches a hard lesson. yes."

"Yes!"

"The orderly sent out with the order.

"The general has an order to order the Heavy Crossbow Battalion and the Great General Pao Battalion to kill those moving tortoises and kill those bastards hiding below!"

"The general has an order. Whoever kills a cloud chariot will be rewarded five guns by each member of the artillery team, and all soldiers will be promoted to the first rank!" (To be continued.)
