During this period, Lin Hu led hundreds of craftsmen to create many such throwing thunders in a row, which is enough for these twenty throwing cars to spend a long time. However, after the throwing cars bombed the Xiangyang city wall for six rounds, there was no Hanzhong army standing on the city wall. Li Xin and Mu Ying watched with a thousand-mile mirror for a while and confirmed that everyone had retreated from the city tower, Li Xin ordered a ceasefire after placing the fire.

The catapult car stopped. After about a stick of incense, someone slowly stretched out his head on the wall of Xiangyang City to watch what happened outside. Just as someone appeared, Li Xin waved his hand again, twenty catapult carts once again exerted firepower, and a large amount of thunder threw on the wall of Xiangyang City, exploding the wall of this heroic city, and smoke and dust rose everywhere!

After several bombings, some of the bricks on the Xiangyang City Tower had been lifted up, and the broken bricks collapsed on the ground, hurting another group of people.

Li Xin has been watching the dynamics in Xiangyang with the Qianli Mirror. After blowing up the three wheels with a catapult, there was no Hanzhong army in the Qianli Mirror dared to climb the city tower. Li Xin put the Qianli Mirror into his sleeve, looked back at the two generals behind him, and slowly spoke: "Two, no one in the imperial army dares to climb the tower to defend the city. As long as he rushes over and sets up a ladder, Xiangyang City will be broken. Who would be the first person to climb?"

Mu Ying was the first to stand out, but as soon as he took a step, he suddenly remembered the affairs of the Mu family in Jincheng. So he lowered his head slightly to Li Xin and said, "General, General Li's Ningzhou Army has never fought with anyone. It's time to see the quality of the Ningzhou Army."

In fact, at this time, Xiangyang City had basically given up defending the city. As long as someone led his troops to rush over, the ready-made contributions were placed in front of him. However, the Mu family's power in the southwest was already huge enough. Even though Mu Ying himself was very jealous of this contribution, at this time, he still did not choose to be the first to be the leader.

After all, after the Southwest Army was reorganized, Li Shuo and his Ningzhou Army had not taken any action. At this time, letting Li Shuo show it appropriately can make the Mu family less conspicuous.

Li Xin could see through Mu Ying's little thoughts at first glance. He looked at Li Shuo with a calm expression and said, "General Li, can the Ningzhou army fight?"

After "returning from Lin Hu after his studies", both Mu Ying and Li Shuo have surged their confidence. He knelt on the ground and bowed to Li Xin and said, "Go back to the general, the last general, Ningzhou army will attack the city. Within three days, he will definitely take Xiangyang!"

"good."

Li Xin nodded slightly and said, "Then you will lead the Ningzhou army to attack the city. You will line up and march forward now. We will use the catapult cart to throw another round of fire thunder to cover you."

Li Shuo bowed respectfully: "I will obey the order!"

The Ningzhou Army was reorganized by the Hanzhou Army and the army, and was also an army led by Li Shuo. There were a total of 50,000 people. According to Li Xin's request, Li Shuo left 10,000 garrisons in Ningzhou and brought 40,000 Ningzhou Army to fight. In other words, the number of troops they left Shu this time was not enough to have 100,000, only 90,000.

Soon, the Ningzhou army began to assemble. Because the Ningzhou army had almost no cavalry, Li Shuo took the lead and led the two people from the Duwei Battalion to rush in the front, guarding five hundred inconspicuous young people in the middle, and rushed towards Xiangyang City.

At this time, due to the catapult, Xiangyang had basically lost the interest in guarding the city wall, or the ability to guard the city wall. Therefore, Li Shuo and others had almost no resistance and arrived under the city wall of Xiangyang City. They did not look at the city wall, but directly mounted a ladder to climb the city tower.

According to the practice of siege in this era, climbing to the city tower is already the first to climb, but this time, the first to climb is too easy.

After Li Shuo climbed the city tower, he found that there was almost no trace of the imperial army in the entire western city wall of Xiangyang except for some corpses and soldiers who were seriously injured and wailing on the ground.

In other words, the imperial court had given up defending the city and put them in directly without being able to deal with the catapult.

Li Shuo soon arrived at the city gate, and the group moved the bluestone that blocked the door and opened the city gate. The entire Ningzhou army had about four or five thousand people, and they were the first to enter Xiangyang City.

Li Shuo walked in front with two Duwei camps and five hundred young men.

Xiangyang is an important town in the court. The court would rather withdraw from Hanzhong and Ankang than withdraw from Xiangyang, which shows the importance of this place to the court. In other words, the court's army may be forced to throw away the city walls by throwing stones, but they will never abandon Xiangyang.

Li Shuo looked solemn and pulled out the long sword from his waist. Thousands of people behind him were prepared for battle at the same time, and slowly advanced from the west wall of Xiangyang City to the east wall.

They walked on the widest street in Xiangyang City. This street was not only wide, but also allowed eight horses to run in parallel, but also ran through the entire Xiangyang from the east to the west.

At first, there was no trace of the imperial army near a mile. Even because of the war, the nearby people had been evacuated in advance and no one could be seen around.

But after walking for more than a mile, Li Shuo finally realized something was wrong. He frowned and ordered: "Don't move for the time being, retreat."

The subordinates immediately took the order, and thousands of Ningzhou troops were preparing to take a few steps back slowly. However, at this time, there were shouts of killing in the alleys around!

Thousands of Hanzhong troops from the imperial court rushed out from all sides, waving their weapons to fight closely with these enemies rushing into Xiangyang City!

Many of the Hanzhong army were transferred from the imperial guards back then. Even if they were not imperial guards, they had been trained according to the standards of imperial guards over the years, and were all rare elite troops. They suddenly rushed out from all around, with a terrifying momentum.

Li Shuo was not afraid at all when he saw this scene. He waved his hand and set up a formation, revealing the five hundred young men they had been protecting.

Although these young men were covered in armor, they had no bows or crossbows or swords and guns on their bodies, but they all carried a bag on their bodies, and there was a straight iron pipe hanging behind them, which looked quite funny.

With Li Shuo's order, the young people were immediately divided into three directions, each direction intertwined forward and backward, and divided into three rows.

The people in the first row were lying on the ground, the people in the second row were squatting, and the people in the last row stood straight.

Then they took out the fire fold and started igniting it.

First of all, the group of people lying on the ground lifted the iron pipe in their hands a little, and aimed very seriously at these imperial troops rushing over.

As the leads burned, the muskets in the hands of these young men also made a big noise. Then the muskets trembled violently and a lead bullet flew out. The person who was shot had no iron armor and was close to each other. They were directly hit by the lead beads. Although they were not in danger of life, they also lost their combat power and lying on the ground in pain and rolled back and forth.

After the first row of people lying on their lying side, they began to fill in ammunition in an orderly manner. At the same time, the muskets in the second row of people squatting also sounded.

Then there is the third row.

After the third row of bullets was shot, the first row of soldiers lying on the ground had already filled the ammunition and began to ignite.

This tactic has somewhat made up for some of the shortcomings of the slow filling time of muskets, causing our side to lose its flaws.

Li Shuo and Mu Ying each took five hundred muskets from Lin Hu and also trained five hundred musketmen. After working hard for several months, it was finally the first time to show their power on the battlefield!

Lead bullets flew towards the Hanzhong soldiers who were rushing towards him. Then, after loud noises, these soldiers fell softly into the dust, and blood flowed!

Such a way of dying may be fine, but large-scale death soon made the Hanzhong army very frightened.

After all, my robes fell to the ground for no reason, and I had no idea how to deal with them!

The morale of the army will soon be in chaos!

The three generals of the court who stood on a high building not far away saw all this with the Qianli Mirror. The three of them put down the Qianli Mirror, their faces were quite complicated.

Xie Jing's face was full of bitterness, and he spoke in a stern voice: "Two..."
