The last three kingdoms

Chapter 884 The devil is one foot tall, and the road is one foot tall

The sudden situation caught the attacking Shu army by surprise. If they hadn't seen the firearms battalion throwing a large number of firearms into Weize pass, the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke had not dissipated. The soldiers of the Shu army would suspect that there was no Received any blow, after all, the number of Hun soldiers who suddenly poured out was so large that they didn't look like they were ravaged by firearms at all.

Due to the tight defense of the Huns, the Shu army had no gaps to take advantage of, and the first wave of offensive soon ended without a problem, and the Shu army, which suffered heavy casualties, could only retreat temporarily.

Both A Jian and Fu Zhu were stunned. They knew the power of gunpowder weapons very well. For example, after a stone mine or a cluster grenade exploded, it could spread within a range of several feet, which is impossible for any flesh and blood. If it can be blocked, even if you wear armor, you can't protect it to this level.

But judging from the current situation, the Xiongnu soldiers seemed to have not suffered any blows, and the dragon, spirit and tiger suddenly appeared on the top of the city again, which is simply unimaginable.

Fu Zhuo's face was ugly. When the Tiger Cavalry Army arrived at Weize Pass as a vanguard, they never launched an attack. The main reason was because Fu Zhuo was not very sure of taking Weize Pass, so he would wait for the Shu army With the arrival of a large group of troops, the most important thing is the artillery support of the firearms battalion, so that the siege operation will not have much resistance.

However, to Fu Zhu's surprise, after a round of artillery strikes, the morale and supply of the Huns did not seem to be damaged at all. It makes sense.

Liu Yin was watching the battle from behind, and couldn't help frowning. Of course Liu Yin knew very well the power of firearms. It was definitely not a display, and the condition of the Huns also proved to be very good. There can only be one result, that is, the Huns avoided Opened the artillery attack of the Shu army.

How did they do it?
Although Liu Yin couldn't go to the top of the city to see what happened at the moment, it didn't hinder Liu Yin's consideration. It must be that the Xiongnu had suffered a lot from firearms many times, so they learned from the pain and came up with a way to curb the firearms' attack.

In order to deal with firearms, the Huns did think of a lot of ways. If they cannot resist the firearm attacks of the Shu army, then the next battle will be very disadvantageous.

After Zhao Gu stayed at Weize Pass, he repeatedly considered how to deal with firearms. If he couldn't come up with a solution, then Weize Pass would definitely not be able to hold.

Zhao Gu inspected the top of the city, and when he saw huge stones, he had an idea. The firearms of the Shu army, the easiest thing to deal with is the rammed earth city wall, which can almost reach the point of being destroyed by one blow. As far as the castle is concerned, the role of firearms is very limited.
So Zhao Gu made some reconstructions on the top of the city, dug out some bunkers, covered with boulders, and had narrow and winding passages below, which could prevent firearms from being thrown in.

In each bunker, dozens of Shu soldiers can be hidden. Anyway, the attack of the Shu army is not synchronized. Corpses lay everywhere, and the Huns hiding in the bunker were completely unscathed.

After the artillery fire of the Shu army stopped and the infantry launched a siege operation, the Huns broke out from the bunkers, thus easily defeating the first round of the Shu army's attack.

However, if the artillery fire of the Shu army is attacking without stopping, Zhao Gu has no worries about this. Those firearms have no eyes. Once the infantry of the Shu army attacks the city, they will also be hit by firearms. Don't worry at all, just do a good job of hiding the Huns. At the same time, there are strict requirements on the timing and speed of the attack to deal with the incoming infantry.

Although Liu Yin couldn't know the situation on the city in detail, he could still roughly judge that the Huns must have added some fortifications on the city to hide the defenders. It didn't blow up a few people.

what to do?Is today's action halfway?
A new problem is placed in front of Liu Yin. In the face of difficulties, Liu Yin has never flinched. Of course Liu Yin will not retreat in spite of difficulties. There is no way to deal with the Huns.

After careful consideration, he believed that the Shu army still had some small problems in the connection between artillery and infantry. The Xiongnu soldiers hid in the fortifications to avoid the attack of firearms. body, if the firearms attack continues, it can suppress the defenders of the Huns.

Now the only thing the Shu army needs to consider is the situation of being accidentally injured by its own artillery fire. As long as this problem can be overcome, all difficulties will naturally be solved.

Liu Yin summoned A Jian and Fu Zhu and re-arranged the attack plan to them. A Jian and Fu Zhu nodded frequently. Obviously Liu Yin's plan was feasible.

The Shu army quickly launched a new round of attack. The more violent artillery fire covered the head of Weize Pass. Zhao Gu ordered the Huns to enter the bunker to hide. It didn't help either, the thick layer of rocks above the bunker couldn't be blown through at all.

Zhao Gu stayed in the bunker with peace of mind, waiting for the artillery fire to end. As soon as the Shu army infantry rushed up, they could break out of the bunker and repel the Shu army's attack.

However, the artillery attack this time was a bit long, and it seemed that there was no sign of stopping. A series of violent explosions suppressed the Xiongnu soldiers, unable to move at all. Zhao Gu couldn't help but feel a little worried.

In fact, when the firearms attacked, the siege of the Shu army had already begun, which required the operator of the catapult to be quite precise, and could not throw any stone mines outside the wall.At this moment, the soldiers of the Tiger Cavalry Army have also climbed on the city wall in groups, and the ladders are covered with soldiers from the Shu army. The top of them is only three or four feet away from the top of the city. Far away, you can feel the air waves of the explosion passing over your head from time to time.

Seeing that the time was right, A Jian ordered to stop the projectile, and Fu Zhuo gave the order for an assault. The Shu army quickly rushed to the top of the city, and at the same time threw out the grenades in their hands.

As soon as they heard the artillery fire stopped, the Huns rushed out, but as soon as they showed their heads, they were bombarded by a round of bombing, as if they had been hit by a sap. When they ran into the bunker again, the Shu army was already rushed to the top of the city.

Once the breakthrough was successful, the Shu army rushed up to the top of the Weizeguan city like a flood that broke the embankment.
