The Three Kingdoms Voyage
Chapter 375
Chapter 375
Sun Feng wrote a letter to Ardashir, ordered people to copy hundreds of copies in Chinese and Kalu, and shot them into the city with arrows.He said to Ardashir, my father, thinking of the people of the world, traveled thousands of miles to Axum and signed a four-nation alliance with the king to ensure peace in the world. Guishuang, hit Rome again, and then surrounded the city of Axum, trying to do more harm to me.My father and son couldn't bear it anymore, and for the sake of the world, they launched an army to attack Sassan.Now the army is in full swing, and the cities are waiting for the wind to fall. The ancient city of Seleu, which the king has prepared for a long time, was captured in only ten days, and only Taixi was left to defend himself.It's not that our father and son can't conquer Taixi Fengcheng, it's just that our father and son don't want to cause innocent casualties to soldiers.Now that the war has been going on for many days, you should also have seen our strength. We can break through Ctesiphon at any time. In order to prevent the soldiers from using the lives of the Sasanians to compensate for the loss after breaking the city, I hope you accept our kindness and put down your weapons. Go out of the city and surrender, otherwise, we will cut off your head just like cutting off the heads of your son Alpha, Shapur and brother Awad, and hang it on the top of the Sassanian city. We will regret it at that time It's too late.
Ardashir dismissed the previous words. When he saw Awad's name, he was taken aback. He got up and walked to the window, staring intently at the distant battlefield and listening to the voices on the battlefield.
It was pitch black in the distance, only a few lights and shadows, like stars in the night sky, the battlefield has become silent, and the sound of fighting can no longer be heard, the silence is suffocating.
Ardasil's heart beat violently. He turned around, looked at the eunuch who had been by his side, opened his mouth, but did not make a sound. He felt an inexplicable fear, and Night Breeze became It was even more bleak, making him involuntarily wrap his clothes tightly.
Could it be that Awad's [-] army has been eaten by Sun Shao?No, even if their strength is not bad, they will not wipe out [-] cavalry in one battle.A few hours ago, Awad sent a message saying that he would attack overnight, trying to break Sun Shao's blocking formation.
"Is there... any news?" Ardashir's voice was hoarse, and it sounded as ugly as a mouse gnawing on wood.
The eunuch looked at the unconcealable panic on Ardashir's face in surprise, and shook his head.
Ardasil's expression was a little stagnant, as if he didn't know what to do. After a while, he didn't realize that he hadn't finished reading the letter until he saw the uneasy interpreter, so he hurried back to the lamp to continue reading.
After persuading him to surrender, Sun Feng finally said, "Although I am young, with Ahura's protection, I have already secured my victory and can defeat Taixifeng at any time. If you are still stubborn, you can wait to accept Ahura." Pull your anger, I will defeat you in front of tens of thousands of people under the protection of Ahura, and become the new King of Persia.
Ardasil laughed wildly, and the almost crazy laughter echoed in the hall. He flipped through the letter, picked up the pen, and wrote a few words on the back of the letter: "Waiting for you to fight!" Then he ordered someone to fetch himself With a hard bow, he walked out of the palace, strode to the top of the city gate, drew the bow, and shot the letter out.
The long arrow flew nearly a hundred steps, and landed on the ground like a demonstration. The camp outside the city soon discovered that a knight came on a horse, but he did not dismount. He just bent down from his horse, picked up the arrow, and flew away. It seems to be gone.
Sun Feng, Lu Xun and others sat around in the big tent, drinking tea while making arrangements for tomorrow's battle.The news that Awad's army has been wiped out has been sent. They have no worries and can focus on dealing with Ardashir in Tessiphon. warm.
After receiving Ardasil's reply, Sun Feng smiled lightly, and showed Ardasil's handwriting to Quintus, Bodiao and others.
"Ardashir doesn't know good from bad. It seems that the only way to solve this battle is to kill him." Lu Xun said calmly.
"Are you confident?" Sun Feng glanced at Quintus and Bodiao while putting away the letter.
Quintus didn't say a word, and continued to drink tea as if he didn't hear it, but Bodiao was a little impatient, and he looked at Quintus uneasily. He just heard that Sun Shao had promised Quintus that after the war, he would meet Quintus. What kind of bank was built in Damascus? Although he didn't know what the bank was for, it was not a bad thing for them to join forces. Quintus had benefited, so he would naturally support Sun Feng with all his strength. There may be a loss in distribution.
"We Guishuang people naturally look up to the crown prince." Botiao patted his chest and said loudly: "As long as the crown prince gives an order, I, Botiao, although I am old, can still carry a knife, and I am willing to be the first to charge up the city wall. "
Quintus raised his head and glanced at him, with the corners of his mouth raised in a half-smile.
Sun Feng cupped his hands gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty. However, how dare I work hard for your Majesty. These days, you have worked hard to attack the city and suffered a lot of losses. I, a young man, have been hiding behind. I am really sorry. Tomorrow I plan to go to battle in person, and I will meet this Ardashir to see how fierce his Immortal Army is."
"The prince wants to fight in person?" Quintus frowned, and said worriedly: "I know that the prince is skilled in martial arts, but the battlefield is dangerous, and the sword and arrow have no eyes. What if..."
"Aldashir is perverted, and the heavens are angry and the people are angry. I have the protection of Ahura, the kindness of all of you, and the guards of countless warriors. Nothing will happen." Sun Feng couldn't help but interrupted Quintus and others' worries, and decided Tomorrow he will fight in person, and he even appointed Lu Xun as tomorrow's commander-in-chief on the spot, responsible for the coordination of the entire battlefield.
Lu Xun bowed and accepted the order.
The Romans and the Guishuang people have lost a lot these days. Neither Quintus nor Bodiao actually want to rush to the front and lose their horses in vain.Now hearing that Sun Feng is going to personally attack the city, it doesn't look like he is pretending, but he is relieved. On the contrary, he is a little worried for Sun Feng, so he persuaded him a few more words, but Sun Feng is full of confidence and must go to battle. , and said with a smile, everyone, get ready when you go back, I will definitely open the city gate, and you will enter the city immediately to control the situation in the city.It's just that General Taixifeng is my city, so please be merciful and don't be too ruthless, or I will spend money to repair it.
Quintus and Bodiao were happy to see that he was full of confidence, and responded with a smile.
Lu Xun immediately explained the order of the siege, what might happen, how to deal with it, and how to coordinate the armies of the three countries. The Romans and Guishuang people listened to it as a joke at first, but later saw that Lu Xun said it seriously , and every sentence made sense, but I didn't dare to take it lightly, I listened carefully, and asked some details, and then they dispersed.
The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, the big camp outside the city began to get busy. Smoke rose from the big camp, and the soldiers were busy cooking. After breakfast, groups of soldiers came from the big camp. He came out and formed an array in front of the city. Thirty siege vehicles that were still intact after several days of fighting were neatly lined up in front of the formation. The slaves pushing the carts and the soldiers holding weapons were all in place. The city is coming.
Ardashir didn't dare to neglect. He saw Sun Feng's battle flag appearing in front of the battle formation, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth instead.He had already estimated that Sun Feng was at the end of his battle. The Romans and the Guishuang people had suffered a lot these days, and they were already powerless to launch an attack alone. Although the losses of the Han army were not too great, their food and grass should be almost exhausted. If Ctesiphon cannot be captured as soon as possible, they will have only one way to retreat.In Aldahill's view, Sun Feng's ultimatum was just a bluff trick, which seemed very arrogant, but actually revealed his inner anxiety.
It's just that Awad's death made him feel very disappointed. Brotherhood is one aspect, and another aspect is worrying about affecting morale. Sun Feng shot hundreds of the same letters in one breath, nothing more than wanting to spread the news to the city To distract the army, it is conceivable that today he will hang up Awad's head, and maybe behead a group of prisoners before the battle.
He used to do this kind of thing often.
Sun Feng sent the main force to the battle, which he had already expected, and he also thought of a possibility, that is the tunnel under the city.
The authentic thing is what he has been most worried about. In contrast, he is not afraid of Sun Feng's attack on the city. As long as there are heavy armored warriors from the Immortal Army, he believes that no one can break through the city gate, but that has not made any progress. The tunnel was a question hanging in his mind, just like the sword hanging above Daxmos's head, he couldn't even sleep, for fear that the sword would suddenly fall down.
Now that it was the last moment, he believed that Sun Feng would definitely use this tunnel. The reason why there was no movement for so long was that Sun Feng hoped that he would be careless, but how could he be careless.
What he was curious about was, did Sun Feng want to use tunnels to attack during the day?Or use the fierce fighting during the day to cover up the last section of tunnel excavation, and then launch a surprise attack at night?If this is the case, then Sun Feng's death is coming, how could he forget such an important thing.He couldn't help but want to laugh when he thought of the secret that Sun Feng had hidden for a long time, and the last reliance was a very clear thing to him.He really wanted to see what Sun Feng looked like when he knew the result, and he even wanted to know what Sun Shao's expression would be like after he captured Sun Feng.
He has been looking forward to this day for a long time, even a little impatient.
Maybe there is no need to wait for the authenticity, as long as Sun Feng dares to attack the city in person, he will use the unstoppable power of a heavy armored warrior to kill Sun Feng on the city wall and destroy the morale of the enemy.
Ardashir ordered that all the heavily armored warriors be placed at the gate of the city, and at the same time ordered people to quietly replace the obstacles behind the two side doors so that the light cavalry were ready to attack.
The mighty sound of war drums sounded outside the city, and the huge siege vehicle began to move slowly, with a solemn and murderous aura, slowly approaching the direction of the city gate. On a siege vehicle facing the city gate, a There is a spear with a handle, and a person's head is tied to the spear. Below the head is a broken battle flag.
Ardasil couldn't help crying.He didn't need to look to know that this was Awad's head and Awad's battle flag.
The city was silent, and none of the soldiers spoke, but the eyes they passed revealed the tension in their hearts. The rumors that had been quietly spreading since the night became living facts. Annihilated, Ctesiphon no longer has any reinforcements to rely on, and Ahura may have really abandoned the Sasanian family.
"Fight—" Ardashir suppressed the anger in his heart, and gave the order to fight.
The low sound of the horn awakened the soldiers at the top of the city from their low morale. Whether they wanted to or not, they all clenched their weapons and watched the approaching siege vehicles.These huge siege vehicles are amazingly resistant to blows, and one or two cannon stones are useless at all, and they pose a great threat to the city.Ardasil has now invented a weapon to deal with this kind of siege engine, that is, to use a pole longer than the bridge ladder to support the siege engine and prevent it from approaching the city wall.This tactic seems simple, but it played a very important role. The Romans and Guishan people suffered a lot from it, and finally had to give up the siege.
With the sound of the horn, the top of the city began to get busy, moving the huge poles to the top of the city, adjusting the direction, and preparing to resist the approaching siege vehicles.
The sound of war drums and horns became more and more urgent, echoing each other, making the atmosphere on the battlefield more and more tense.
The ballistas on both sides began to roar, and sporadic oil tank ammunition was caught in more bricks, dragging a long flame, making a thrilling whistle in the air, falling to the ground, and then turning into a mass of fire.It's just that during the many days of attack and defense, both sides' oil tank bombs were almost consumed, and they could no longer be as dense as when they were used for the first time, and the effect of deterrence was greater than actual damage.
Sun Feng took the helmet from Du Yu, put it on his head upright, pulled off his visor, took the order flag from Yang Hu, saluted Lu Xun respectfully, and handed the order flag with both hands come over.Lu Xun took the command flag with both hands, bowed his body to return the salute, and said softly, "Prince, be careful!"
Sun Feng nodded: "Thank you, General." He turned around and got off the podium.Thirteen Teutonic knights were fully armed, standing there quietly, staring at Sun Feng intently.Nicholas was holding a tall snow-white horse in his hand. When he saw Sun Feng coming down, he knelt down on one leg and said, "Prince, please get on the horse."
Sun Feng stepped on Nicholas's back, jumped on the horse, shook the reins, and shouted loudly: "Warriors, follow me on patrol!"
"Here." Yang Hu, Du Yu and the thirteen knights responded loudly and got on their horses. Yang Hu held up the banner of the Han army, and Du Yu held up Sun Feng's battle flag, and followed closely behind Sun Feng. Nicholas and others sat upright on their horses, pointing the halberd in their hands to the sky, and rushed out following Sun Feng.
Sun Fengzong trotted in front of the formation, and wherever he went, there was a thunderous roar. Whether it was the Han army, the Romans, or the Guishuang people, they were all attracted by the heroic Sun Feng. voice, pay homage to Sun Bong.
"Soldiers—" Sun Feng reined in his horse in front of the formation, and raised his right hand. The roaring formation just now fell silent, and everyone turned their attention to Sun Feng.
Sun Feng raised his dantian energy enough, and shouted loudly: "We all have homes and relatives, and we all want to live a stable and happy life, but why now we have traveled thousands of miles to the city of Taixifeng? Because Ardaxi I don't want us to live in peace. Before the handwriting of the Quadruple Alliance was dry, he provoked the war and dragged countless people into the flames of war and blood. We long for peace, but we are not afraid of any enemy. We have courage Defeating any enemy, we will use the weapons in our hands to tell them that the cruel will die of cruelty, and the greedy will die of greed."
He glanced majestically, and everyone held their breath, as if Sun Feng was looking at each of them.
"We are the teachers of justice. We have been protected by the true god. We will be invincible. No matter how cunning the enemy is, they will have no way to escape. Even the strongest city walls cannot resist our anger. Let our Burn all enemies with anger, and reduce all obstacles to ashes."
He raised his hands to the sky and roared with all his strength: "Great Ahura, open your eyes and punish the wicked who blaspheme and bring disaster and death to us."
"Kill Ardashir—" Nicholas raised his arms and shouted.
"Kill Ardashir—" the crowd was excited, and the roar was earth-shattering, rushing towards the top of the city like a huge wave.
Ardashir at the head of the city looked livid, and was very angry at Sun Feng pointing the finger at him alone. He didn't look back. He knew that even if someone would rebel, it wouldn't be the people around him.
Lu Xun waved the command flag in time, and Sun Feng led the Teutonic people to rush to the siege engine facing the city gate first, followed by Chen Hai, Cao Zhang was on the left, Li Yan was on the right, and the three groups of people were like three The giant dragon, braving the Sassanid's cannon stones and arrow rain, rushed into the siege engine and flew up along the escalator of the siege engine.Not long after, Sun Feng stood on top of the siege vehicle.
Ardasil sneered, and immediately ordered the crossbowmen to aim at Sun Feng who was hiding behind the giant shield, and shoot him immediately as soon as he showed his head.With the poles in hand, he is not afraid of these siege engines at all now. Before these poles are cut off, the siege engines are nothing more than shooting platforms.
Under the cover of the guard battalion, Sun Feng had a clear view of the situation at the head of the city. He not only saw Ardashir, but also the Immortal Army surrounded by Ardashir, those elites in heavy armor It looks too conspicuous.He made a rough estimate, and a sinister smile appeared on his handsome face hidden behind the visor.
"Signal to General Lu, you can attack!"
Yang Hu responded, turned around and waved the command flag in the direction of the formation.Lu Xun in the command vehicle had been observing the situation through clairvoyance. When he saw the command flag being waved, he breathed a sigh of relief, put away his clairvoyance, and waved his hand gently.
Luo Tong raised his hand and slammed everything down.
Ardashir looked at Sun Feng on the siege engine and gritted his teeth tightly.Time seemed to have stopped. I don't know if Sun Feng was thinking about the way to attack or what. The siege engine stopped at a distance of [-] paces without moving, showing no intention of moving forward at all.Ardashir got a little impatient with waiting, and wished he could order the crossbowmen to kill Sun Feng now, so as to resolve the battle as quickly as possible.
The siege engine finally started again, and more than a dozen siege engines slowly approached the city gate. Aldashir was elated, and ordered the immortal army to prepare for the battle.
Fifty steps, forty steps, thirty steps, when Ardasil was waiting anxiously, he suddenly felt that the city wall under his feet seemed to move, and the ground seemed to be trembling. He withdrew his fierce gaze in surprise. To the city wall below.
Before he could understand, there was an earth-shattering loud noise, like a thunderbolt in the sky, which shocked the entire battlefield. Almost everyone was scared out of their wits by this loud noise, they covered their ears in unison, and focused their eyes on the loud noise incoming direction.
What unfolded in front of their eyes was a scene that they couldn't believe. The sturdy north gate of Taixifeng suddenly lifted up, one-third higher than before, and became very abrupt, as if a giant beast had suddenly burrowed into it. Under the city gate, the city gate was arched abruptly.
After the huge city wall was arched for a while, it suddenly sank again, and a puff of smoke rose into the sky, covering the entire city gate, like a giant beast rushing out of the ground, shaking off the dust on its body, flying up to the sky.
The lingering sound of the loud noise lingered for a long time, but many people's ears had been temporarily deafened by the first sound. They could not hear these sounds, nor could they hear the screams hidden in the sound. He just stared at the unbelievable scene in front of him foolishly.
The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and the originally tall and solid city wall was much shorter, and it had already collapsed into a mound of dirt. Countless people were rolling and struggling in the mound. They were crying and desperately trying to get out of the mound. , but these mounds are no longer solid city walls, and they can't find a stable point of force when they step on them.
Countless soldiers of the Immortal Army struggled in this mass of soil, howling in despair, like lumps of meat tumbling in boiling soup. The Sasanian soldiers on the walls on both sides stared at everything in front of them and froze there. , the weapons in the hands of many people fell to the ground.
Sun Feng was also stunned for a moment. Although he knew that the gunpowder was powerful, he didn't expect it to be so powerful. He only hoped that the city gate could be knocked down. Completely turned into dust.
"Prince, attack the city immediately!" Yang Hu pushed Sun Feng and shouted loudly.Although he was prepared and covered his ears in advance, he was still so shaken that his ears buzzed and he didn't know how loud he was.Fortunately, Sun Feng was also a little deaf at this time, and he really couldn't hear clearly if he didn't yell so much.
"Attack!" Sun Feng raised his sword and screamed.
The generals and soldiers of the Han army suddenly woke up, and immediately became murderous.
……
Ten miles away, Sun Shao was sitting by the river, holding the fishing rod in his hand, and turned his head to look at Wei Boyang: "How much gunpowder did you bury? Why is it so loud?"
Wei Boyang smiled triumphantly: "Not a single grain of the ten gunpowder brought in was left, and all of them were buried under the city gate. I reckoned that even if the city gate was not blown to powder, it would definitely be more than enough to collapse the city gate."
"Hiss—" Sun Shao sucked in a breath of air as if he had a toothache, "Did you spend money so slippery all these years that you buried all ten boats of gunpowder? Did you leave any?"
"Not at all."
"Then I think it's impossible to blow it up again?"
"Why do we need to blow it up again?" Wei Boyang curled his lips proudly: "I can assure you that no one will dare to fight against me in 30 years. Not to mention Tai Xifeng, even if the king wants to enter the city of Rome, Quintus will not do it now." Dare to squeak."
"Besides, it's only about technology!" Sun Shao shook his head, and pointed at the triumphant Wei Boyang: "You probably really think of yourself as a god."

Sun Feng wrote a letter to Ardashir, ordered people to copy hundreds of copies in Chinese and Kalu, and shot them into the city with arrows.He said to Ardashir, my father, thinking of the people of the world, traveled thousands of miles to Axum and signed a four-nation alliance with the king to ensure peace in the world.

On a siege vehicle facing the city gate, a There is a spear with a handle, and a person's head is tied to the spear. Below the head is a broken battle flag.
Ardasil couldn't help crying.He didn't need to look to know that this was Awad's head and Awad's battle flag.
The city was silent, and none of the soldiers spoke, but the eyes they passed revealed the tension in their hearts. The rumors that had been quietly spreading since the night became living facts. Annihilated, Ctesiphon no longer has any reinforcements to rely on, and Ahura may have really abandoned the Sasanian family.
"Fight—" Ardashir suppressed the anger in his heart, and gave the order to fight.
The low sound of the horn awakened the soldiers at the top of the city from their low morale. Whether they wanted to or not, they all clenched their weapons and watched the approaching siege vehicles.These huge siege vehicles are amazingly resistant to blows, and one or two cannon stones are useless at all, and they pose a great threat to the city.Ardasil has now invented a weapon to deal with this kind of siege engine, that is, to use a pole longer than the bridge ladder to support the siege engine and prevent it from approaching the city wall.This tactic seems simple, but it played a very important role. The Romans and Guishan people suffered a lot from it, and finally had to give up the siege.
With the sound of the horn, the top of the city began to get busy, moving the huge poles to the top of the city, adjusting the direction, and preparing to resist the approaching siege vehicles.
The sound of war drums and horns became more and more urgent, echoing each other, making the atmosphere on the battlefield more and more tense.
The ballistas on both sides began to roar, and sporadic oil tank ammunition was caught in more bricks, dragging a long flame, making a thrilling whistle in the air, falling to the ground, and then turning into a mass of fire.It's just that during the many days of attack and defense, both sides' oil tank bombs were almost consumed, and they could no longer be as dense as when they were used for the first time, and the effect of deterrence was greater than actual damage.
Sun Feng took the helmet from Du Yu, put it on his head upright, pulled off his visor, took the order flag from Yang Hu, saluted Lu Xun respectfully, and handed the order flag with both hands come over.Lu Xun took the command flag with both hands, bowed his body to return the salute, and said softly, "Prince, be careful!"
Sun Feng nodded: "Thank you, General." He turned around and got off the podium.Thirteen Teutonic knights were fully armed, standing there quietly, staring at Sun Feng intently.Nicholas was holding a tall snow-white horse in his hand. When he saw Sun Feng coming down, he knelt down on one leg and said, "Prince, please get on the horse."
Sun Feng stepped on Nicholas's back, jumped on the horse, shook the reins, and shouted loudly: "Warriors, follow me on patrol!"
"Here." Yang Hu, Du Yu and the thirteen knights responded loudly and got on their horses. Yang Hu held up the banner of the Han army, and Du Yu held up Sun Feng's battle flag, and followed closely behind Sun Feng. Nicholas and others sat upright on their horses, pointing the halberd in their hands to the sky, and rushed out following Sun Feng.
Sun Fengzong trotted in front of the formation, and wherever he went, there was a thunderous roar. Whether it was the Han army, the Romans, or the Guishuang people, they were all attracted by the heroic Sun Feng. voice, pay homage to Sun Bong.
"Soldiers—" Sun Feng reined in his horse in front of the formation, and raised his right hand. The roaring formation just now fell silent, and everyone turned their attention to Sun Feng.
Sun Feng raised his dantian energy enough, and shouted loudly: "We all have homes and relatives, and we all want to live a stable and happy life, but why now we have traveled thousands of miles to the city of Taixifeng? Because Ardaxi I don't want us to live in peace. Before the handwriting of the Quadruple Alliance was dry, he provoked the war and dragged countless people into the flames of war and blood. We long for peace, but we are not afraid of any enemy. We have courage Defeating any enemy, we will use the weapons in our hands to tell them that the cruel will die of cruelty, and the greedy will die of greed."
He glanced majestically, and everyone held their breath, as if Sun Feng was looking at each of them.
"We are the teachers of justice. We have been protected by the true god. We will be invincible. No matter how cunning the enemy is, they will have no way to escape. Even the strongest city walls cannot resist our anger. Let our Burn all enemies with anger, and reduce all obstacles to ashes."
He raised his hands to the sky and roared with all his strength: "Great Ahura, open your eyes and punish the wicked who blaspheme and bring disaster and death to us."
"Kill Ardashir—" Nicholas raised his arms and shouted.
"Kill Ardashir—" the crowd was excited, and the roar was earth-shattering, rushing towards the top of the city like a huge wave.
Ardashir at the head of the city looked livid, and was very angry at Sun Feng pointing the finger at him alone. He didn't look back. He knew that even if someone would rebel, it wouldn't be the people around him.
Lu Xun waved the command flag in time, and Sun Feng led the Teutonic people to rush to the siege engine facing the city gate first, followed by Chen Hai, Cao Zhang was on the left, Li Yan was on the right, and the three groups of people were like three The giant dragon, braving the Sassanid's cannon stones and arrow rain, rushed into the siege engine and flew up along the escalator of the siege engine.Not long after, Sun Feng stood on top of the siege vehicle.
Ardasil sneered, and immediately ordered the crossbowmen to aim at Sun Feng who was hiding behind the giant shield, and shoot him immediately as soon as he showed his head.With the poles in hand, he is not afraid of these siege engines at all now. Before these poles are cut off, the siege engines are nothing more than shooting platforms.
Under the cover of the guard battalion, Sun Feng had a clear view of the situation at the head of the city. He not only saw Ardashir, but also the Immortal Army surrounded by Ardashir, those elites in heavy armor It looks too conspicuous.He made a rough estimate, and a sinister smile appeared on his handsome face hidden behind the visor.
"Signal to General Lu, you can attack!"
Yang Hu responded, turned around and waved the command flag in the direction of the formation.Lu Xun in the command vehicle had been observing the situation through clairvoyance. When he saw the command flag being waved, he breathed a sigh of relief, put away his clairvoyance, and waved his hand gently.
Luo Tong raised his hand and slammed everything down.
Ardashir looked at Sun Feng on the siege engine and gritted his teeth tightly.Time seemed to have stopped. I don't know if Sun Feng was thinking about the way to attack or what. The siege engine stopped at a distance of [-] paces without moving, showing no intention of moving forward at all.Ardashir got a little impatient with waiting, and wished he could order the crossbowmen to kill Sun Feng now, so as to resolve the battle as quickly as possible.
The siege engine finally started again, and more than a dozen siege engines slowly approached the city gate. Aldashir was elated, and ordered the immortal army to prepare for the battle.
Fifty steps, forty steps, thirty steps, when Ardasil was waiting anxiously, he suddenly felt that the city wall under his feet seemed to move, and the ground seemed to be trembling. He withdrew his fierce gaze in surprise. To the city wall below.
Before he could understand, there was an earth-shattering loud noise, like a thunderbolt in the sky, which shocked the entire battlefield. Almost everyone was scared out of their wits by this loud noise, they covered their ears in unison, and focused their eyes on the loud noise incoming direction.
What unfolded in front of their eyes was a scene that they couldn't believe. The sturdy north gate of Taixifeng suddenly lifted up, one-third higher than before, and became very abrupt, as if a giant beast had suddenly burrowed into it. Under the city gate, the city gate was arched abruptly.
After the huge city wall was arched for a while, it suddenly sank again, and a puff of smoke rose into the sky, covering the entire city gate, like a giant beast rushing out of the ground, shaking off the dust on its body, flying up to the sky.
The lingering sound of the loud noise lingered for a long time, but many people's ears had been temporarily deafened by the first sound. They could not hear these sounds, nor could they hear the screams hidden in the sound. He just stared at the unbelievable scene in front of him foolishly.
The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and the originally tall and solid city wall was much shorter, and it had already collapsed into a mound of dirt. Countless people were rolling and struggling in the mound. They were crying and desperately trying to get out of the mound. , but these mounds are no longer solid city walls, and they can't find a stable point of force when they step on them.
Countless soldiers of the Immortal Army struggled in this mass of soil, howling in despair, like lumps of meat tumbling in boiling soup. The Sasanian soldiers on the walls on both sides stared at everything in front of them and froze there. , the weapons in the hands of many people fell to the ground.
Sun Feng was also stunned for a moment. Although he knew that the gunpowder was powerful, he didn't expect it to be so powerful. He only hoped that the city gate could be knocked down. Completely turned into dust.
"Prince, attack the city immediately!" Yang Hu pushed Sun Feng and shouted loudly.Although he was prepared and covered his ears in advance, he was still so shaken that his ears buzzed and he didn't know how loud he was.Fortunately, Sun Feng was also a little deaf at this time, and he really couldn't hear clearly if he didn't yell so much.
"Attack!" Sun Feng raised his sword and screamed.
The generals and soldiers of the Han army suddenly woke up, and immediately became murderous.
……
Ten miles away, Sun Shao was sitting by the river, holding the fishing rod in his hand, and turned his head to look at Wei Boyang: "How much gunpowder did you bury? Why is it so loud?"
Wei Boyang smiled triumphantly: "Not a single grain of the ten gunpowder brought in was left, and all of them were buried under the city gate. I reckoned that even if the city gate was not blown to powder, it would definitely be more than enough to collapse the city gate."
"Hiss—" Sun Shao sucked in a breath of air as if he had a toothache, "Did you spend money so slippery all these years that you buried all ten boats of gunpowder? Did you leave any?"
"Not at all."
"Then I think it's impossible to blow it up again?"
"Why do we need to blow it up again?" Wei Boyang curled his lips proudly: "I can assure you that no one will dare to fight against me in 30 years. Not to mention Tai Xifeng, even if the king wants to enter the city of Rome, Quintus will not do it now." Dare to squeak."
"Besides, it's only about technology!" Sun Shao shook his head, and pointed at the triumphant Wei Boyang: "You probably really think of yourself as a god."
