Plane of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 259 "Cloud Cannon Car"

Han Yuqing said to use siege, fire attack, and earth attack, and Qin Guan agreed very much.

Now the river is frozen and water attack is impossible.It was freezing cold, the plague didn't work at all, and the tunnels couldn't be dug.As for the noise and the infiltration of spies, these are the means of long-term war, and there is no need to worry about it for the time being.

The siege increases the pressure on the enemy's heart.

As for fire attack, this is what Qin Guan is best at.

Qin Guan immediately ordered to set up a trebuchet, and first let the people of Liao Kingdom enjoy the power of the explosive pack.

On the top of the Zhongjing city, the left prime minister Yelu Longyun, the right prime minister Chu Jian, the general Xiao Yilu who commanded the defense of Zhongjing, and a group of ministers and generals all went up to the top of the city to check the situation of the Zhao army.

As the saying goes, if there are [-] people, there will be no boundaries; if there are [-] people, the earth will reach the sky.

10 people gathered outside the city, with flags unfurling and people shouting and neighing. The scene was very shocking, but these people had all seen big scenes before, so naturally they wouldn't be so frightened when they saw such a scene.

The Northern Route Army was already driving away those Liao soldiers, collecting snow and stones.

Qin Guan had people make a lot of wooden boxes, put the snow inside and step on it, or sprinkle some water, and it turned into snow bricks. This trick is very useful.

Yelu Longyun was a little thinner, and his large official uniform was whistling by the wind, but he stood upright, watching Zhao Jun's movements below, and said: "Zhao Jun has captured [-] to [-] soldiers and civilians, and it seems that he is going to drive them away. They filled the soil for roads, and they are all our people."

Right Prime Minister Chu Jian said with a cold face: "When you are fighting Zhao soldiers, you don't know how to fight to the death, and you are willing to be captured. You should have this awareness."

At this time, a general pointed to the distance and shouted: "Look over there, Zhao Jun seems to be assembling a trebuchet."

After the catapults were assembled, the North Route Army began to push these chariots forward, and stopped at a distance of about 500 meters from Zhongjing City. Hundreds of chariots lined up, and the soldiers methodically lit the brazier, mounted the winch, and prepared explosives. Bag.

There was no sense of rush.

However, the ministers and generals of the Liao Kingdom at the top of the city saw the corners of their eyes twitching, and someone said: "Could this be Zhao Jun's explosive siege weapon?"

Someone nodded and said, "Probably so."

"How about we remove the city head, it is said that this thing is very dangerous."

At this time, Prime Minister Zuo Yelu Longyun said: "From now on, we will face this kind of weapon of Zhao Jun. If we don't know how to deal with it, we will observe carefully here, and it is best to find a way to break it."

As soon as Yelu Longyun finished speaking, the North Route Army began shelling.

"The first round of volleys, attacking the defenses of Zhongjing City, launch."

"emission!!!"

Whoosh whoosh, hundreds of round explosive packets flew towards the head of Zhongjing City with sparks like meteors.

The soldiers of the Liao Kingdom watched these explosive packages fly towards their eyes, and suddenly exploded, and countless people died tragically on the spot with blood and flesh splashing.

"Boom~"

It was a coincidence that a shell fell on the place where officials gathered together.

A bang.

The shock wave of the explosion and the iron nails shot from inside immediately became a reminder, knocking down a large area of ​​these Liao ministers.

"My mother."

"I'm dying."

"Hurry up and be the prime minister."

This bomb killed more than a dozen Liao officials, including the Prime Minister of the Right, Chu Jian, and the city was in chaos.

Dare to stand on the top of the city to look at the scenery under shelling, is a model of not afraid of death.

No one thought about any strategy to defeat the enemy anymore, and those who could run, all ran away in a swarm.

"The second round of scattering, aimed at the city, and projected at the longest distance."

"Boom boom boom."

Bombs raged in Zhongjing City.

"The third round of scattered city heads"

The artillery was constantly shelling, and Zhao Jun began to drive away the Liao prisoners, approaching the city wall, throwing snow bricks and stones into the moat with shoulders and hands.

The guard of the Liao Kingdom saw it and immediately ordered: "Shoot arrows, shoot all these people to death."

"whoosh whoosh"

"Whoosh whoosh."

Countless arrows fell from the top of the city, and the river bank was only 50 meters away from the city wall, which was the best range for archers to attack. Immediately, countless Liao prisoners fell to the ground and died miserably from the arrows.

When the prisoners behind saw it, countless people shouted: "We are from the Liao Kingdom, don't kill us."

The soldiers defending the city didn't hesitate at all, because they knew that if they didn't shoot these people, their fate would be worse than these people's when Zhongjing City was breached.

"Shoot, shoot me hard."

Puff puff.

Countless arrows were shot at those Liao soldiers, and a large number of them died in a short time. It is estimated that no less than three to five thousand people were killed. Some Liao soldiers fell directly into the moat and became part of the roadbed.

After the prisoners were shot, they dropped stones and Xue Kuai ran back desperately. Xue Mu's expression darkened, and he asked Xiong Er next to him, "Second General, do you want to kill a group?"

Xiong Er smiled and said: "Don't worry, the young master has already said before that if the guards of the Liao Kingdom shoot and kill the captives, we don't have to punish these captives, let them come back, and always give them a glimmer of hope to live. Well, after a while, big brother will knock down the Liao army defenders at the top of the city, and we'll just drive them over."

Just as I was talking, I saw the trebuchet troops start shelling again.

"boom boom"

With the sound of continuous explosions, hundreds of Liao soldiers were killed at the head of Zhongjing City.

Seeing this scene, Xiong Er said: "You can let them continue."

Xiong Da looked into the distance and said to Qin Guan: "Master, the efficiency of those captives filling the soil is too low."

Qin Guan smiled: "It's all money anyway."

They were all from the Liao Kingdom, and he didn't care if they died or not. Even if they were all dead, no one would feel sorry for them, and would throw their bodies into the moat as a roadbed.

At noon, the North Route Army took a break to light a fire and cook, and the prisoners also received dry food. The soldiers of the North Route Army could drink hot broth.

Continue the attack in the afternoon,

Continue to attack at night.

Two days later, the filling of the three passages leading to the city gate has advanced more than ten meters, and the results are still good. However, tens of thousands of Liao prisoners also died. It is Qin Guan who sympathizes with them and asks the craftsman camp to give them A batch of crude wooden shields were built, which reduced the losses.

But Qin Guan was dissatisfied with some things,

He called the commander of the Craftsmanship Battalion and asked, "Is there a bigger catapult? The current catapult can only reach the outer city. It would be great if there was one that could reach the inner city."

"Marshal, there is indeed a larger trebuchet called "Cloud Cannon Car", and the range can reach about 400 meters." The commander of the craftsman battalion replied.

Qin Guan's eyes lit up, "You guys can make it."

"It will be built, but we didn't bring such a large amount of wood. We need to go into the mountains to find suitable wood. It takes about three days to make a cloud cannon car. I saw it when I came here. There are a few forests. Pine and hazel would be perfect."

Qin Guan immediately ordered to build a "cloud cannon car".
