The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 638 637 Secret Weapons
Just as Sun Quan guessed, the Han army did not give the Jiangdong army any chance to breathe. When night fell, torches were erected outside Nanchang City. Tens of thousands of torches formed a constant fire dragon, circling outside Nanchang city .

"Dong dong dong dong..."

The Han army beat the exciting battle drums, the drums sounded like thunder, from the initial loose drums gradually became dense and fast, the sound was exciting, and it could arouse the courage in the bottom of my heart.

Standing on the tower, Sun Quan looked around, and saw a Han army of more than ten thousand men appearing neatly in front of him. There were many swords and guns, and the banner was clear. You can clearly see the face of this person, it is Huang Zhong, the naval commander of the Han army.

Huang Zhong held a Fengzui knife, surrounded by a hundred fine cavalry, and behind him were neatly lined up infantry, some with bows and arrows, some with swords, and some with spears. There were about 1 soldiers. People are around, and everyone is watching.

In addition, on the left side of Huang Zhong, there is an army of about 5000 people. The leader is also known to Sun Quan. He is Wenpin, the deputy governor of the navy. The drumbeat has not stopped, perhaps they are waiting for some order, and then attack Nanchang City together.

Sun Quan turned to the east again, and stood on the watchtower of the city wall. From a distance, he saw a large number of Han troops lined up outside the east gate. The former general of the Han army, Tai Shici, was leading the attack.

Not long after, Han Dang and Sun Ben, the defenders of the west gate and south gate, also sent people to the north gate to tell Sun Quan that the Han army had gathered troops outside the west gate and south gate, and the troops leading the attack were the Han army's soldiers. General Xu Huang on the left and General Gan Ning on the right.

Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, Xu Huang, and Gan Ning are all famous generals in the world, and the army led by their subordinates is definitely the elite of the elite. It seems that Sun Quan is right to worry. Zhang Yan plans to attack with all four , so that the Jiangdong army is overwhelmed and at a loss.

"General Huang!" Sun Quan suddenly shouted at Huang Gai.

Huang Gai clasped his fists and said, "What are your orders, my lord?"

Sun Quan said: "You lead the five thousand of your headquarters to be responsible for guarding this gate. Don't let the enemy approach you. You must keep the enemy away from the Wengcheng. If you are short of troops, send someone to the government office to find me. Send reinforcements."

"Here!"

Sun Quan's plan is very simple. He has a total of 5000 troops, of which 5000 are stationed at each of the four city gates. This is 2 people, and the remaining 5000 people. , they sent troops to support, so that they would not be exhausted.

Sun Quan informed the three generals Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Sun Ben of his plan respectively. Once the Han army took the offensive and the generals could not lower their positions, they would come to him for reinforcements.

As soon as the words fell, Sun Quan walked down the tower, went straight to the government office, and waited patiently in the government office.

"Dong dong dong..."

The battle drums of the Han army were still beating, and when the last drum sound dissipated, the first drum was finished, and then, it was replaced by shouts from all directions at the same time.

"Kill!"

The shouts resounded through the sky and the earth, straight into the night sky, and the Han army outside the city rushed forward stepping on the filled moat.

The densely packed Han army rushed over like ants, and the Jiangdong guards on the city wall began to shoot arrows non-stop, but the Han army was already prepared, and the shield bearers stood in the front, holding the shield high, and protecting the back soldiers.

However, when the Han army moved to half the distance from the city wall, it suddenly stopped. Immediately afterwards, more than 200 people appeared from the rear army, and they were pushing five huge chariots. Under the guard of the guard, move forward slowly.

The Jiangdong defenders on the city wall couldn't see what the Han army was pushing. They could only use the bows and arrows in their hands to stop the enemy's advance.

However, almost all of their arrows were blocked by the shield soldiers, and the Han army hiding behind the shields was fine. As long as they did not move easily, their lives would not be in danger.

There were bursts of tinkling sounds, followed by another burst. This was the sound made by the arrow hitting the shield. To the Han army, this sound was like playing a victory song for them.

Not long after, those huge chariots were pushed to the positions held by the Han army, and then more than 200 soldiers began to busy operate the five chariots. The chariots were covered with a layer of tarpaulin. When the soldiers took off the tarpaulin At that time, a strange-shaped thing appeared in front of everyone, but I saw a long copper cylinder pointing obliquely at the night sky, and there was a huge base under the cylinder, which was also made of brass, and On the side of the base, there is also a mechanism that can adjust the height of the elongated cylinder. As long as the mechanism is pulled, the height of the elongated cylinder can be adjusted.

The soldier responsible for transporting these things manipulated this strange thing very skillfully, and adjusted the long cylinder to the city wall of Nanchang, but saw a soldier holding a huge iron ball and stuffing it into the long cylinder. Inside the cylinder, another person used a shovel to dig a shovel of black soil and filled it directly into the bottom of the long cylinder. When the black soil was filled in, someone immediately closed a door of the base, and then the soldiers inserted Put on a long line that extends all the way to your feet.

When everything was ready, a soldier came over with a torch and roared loudly, all the people in front moved away, the soldier ignited the long line with the torch, and then Running away to one side, the rest of the people also hid far away. Except for the shield soldiers, the rest of them blocked their ears with their hands.

The thread quickly ignited, and there was a "chi chi" sound, with sparks burning from one end of the thread, and when all the threads were burned out, there was only a "boom" The loud noise made the ground tremble, and a black iron ball shot out from the long cylinder and flew towards the city wall.

There was a sound of "whoosh" piercing through the air, and almost all the defenders on the city wall saw a huge black iron ball flying over, but the strange thing was that this black iron ball was still emitting sparks, and it was "chi chi chi" ", once it hit the city wall, there was a muffled "boom", and the iron ball sank directly into the wall.

However, the flame on the iron ball has not been extinguished, and it is burning rapidly, still making a "chi chi" sound.

After a while, a slender thread on the iron ball was completely burned, and the flame penetrated into the iron ball. With a loud "boom", the iron ball exploded instantly, and the wall of the city wall was destroyed. It was blown to pieces, stone chips flew around, and the city wall was shaken a few times indiscriminately.

Before the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army could react, the sound of "Boom Boom Boom" sounded from all directions. The loud noise and destructive power produced by the strong explosion made them unheard of, and there was a buzzing in their ears. Don't shout loudly, I'm afraid you won't be able to hear what Fang Fu is saying.

Moreover, at the same time as the explosion, the entire city wall of Nanchang city was trembling slightly, as if it had experienced an earthquake.Not only that, some of the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army were injured, some were bruised by stones, and some were directly killed.

Anyway, the Jiangdong army had never seen the thing launched by the Han army, and had no way of knowing the power of these things.Now, since the Jiangdong army knew the power of this thing, they couldn't help complaining secretly. If the enemy kept launching such things, Nanchang City would be razed to the ground overnight.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..."

The Han army kept firing iron balls onto the city wall. The originally solid city wall was vulnerable to such a powerful weapon of the Han army. In less than half a stick of incense, the city wall had been blasted open a gap. If it continues like this, there will be no need to fight this battle at all, and the defenders will be killed by the bombardment of these weapons.

All of a sudden, rivers of blood flowed on the city wall, and the number of defenders killed suddenly increased. The defenders hid there and did not dare to show their faces, but it was still like this. Maybe an iron ball suddenly fell from the sky, and it would kill everyone. Life is at stake.

The north gate suffered heavy losses, and the guard Huang Gai was even more ashamed. He shouted at the soldiers over there: "Reinforcement, reinforcement, I need reinforcements, go and inform the lord, I need reinforcements here!"

The soldiers immediately rolled down the tower and rushed to the government office to ask for reinforcements.And those who arrived with him were soldiers sent by Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Sun Ben to pray for reinforcements. They all encountered the same attack. .

Sun Quan in the government office also heard such a loud sound. At first, when the first sound sounded, he thought it was a muffled thunder falling from the night sky. He never thought it was an enemy's weapon.But now when he heard that this was the enemy's weapon, he was very surprised. He never expected that the enemy would have such a powerful weapon.

Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, and Sun Ben came to pray for reinforcements at the same time, which shows how urgent the situation is, so Sun Quan immediately divided his army of 5000 men into five, and each went to the four city gates for reinforcements. 3000 people, and the remaining 3000 people will continue to stay by his side. Wherever he goes, these 3000 people will follow. This will also be the last bit of power in the city.

With an order, the army was divided into five, and they went in different directions for reinforcements. Sun Quan also took the 3000 people and went straight to the north gate.

Because the east, south, and west gates were all blocked by him, if he wanted to attack the city, he had to carry a ladder, climb up the city wall with the help of the ladder, and seize the top of the city.And only the north gate has not been completely sealed, the enemy army is definitely not willing to waste this energy on the other three gates.

Isn't the reason why the Han army filled up the moat to be able to attack from land?Therefore, Sun Quan has always believed that the Han army will definitely attack from the north gate, and the attacks from other places are all bluffs.

For this reason, Sun Quan took the remaining [-] soldiers and came to the north gate decisively, preparing to start a shopping battle with the enemy.
