Chapter 1211 Artillery Attack

Cao Pi and all the soldiers of the Ross army in the Langtou Mountain Fortress were destined to spend a sleepless night.

The next day, the Qin army did not launch an attack on the Langtou Mountain Fortress. For a fortress like Langtou Mountain that has been strictly guarded, the promotion of the attack on the Cang will only cause unnecessary losses to its own side, so what the Qin army needs to do now is rest.

Cao Pi climbed up to the fortress wall and looked at the camp that lasted for several miles outside the city and felt a heavy heart. "Have you sent a letter to His Majesty?" Cao Pi asked.

Xu Chu replied: "It has been sent! Just in case, three batches were sent separately!"

Cao Pi nodded, "Very good!"

Cao Pi led the guards to patrol the city walls. What made Cao Pi feel relieved was that the morale of the soldiers was very good and there was no thing he was worried about.

The day passed peacefully. However, Cao Pi and all the soldiers of Ross knew that the real war was approaching.

The sun rose from the east again, and the golden sunlight reflected a dazzling light on the remaining snow lines. The gates of the three Qin army camps opened almost at the same time; the shocking sound of war drums rang out loud.

The Qin army rushed out of the camp gate like a flood that opened the gate, but it looked very orderly. There was only the neat footsteps that made the earth tremble and the clanging sound of the soldiers colliding, without any noise, with momentum and high fighting spirit. It is worthy of being the Iron Army Brigade of the Qin Empire!

At the same time, the Ross army on the city wall was also mobilizing in an unintentional manner. The swords, shields, crossbowmen, and spearmen were running towards the city wall under the command of the general. The woods, stones, and boiling oil were continuously transported to the front of the city wall. Cannons and crossbows were pushed to the shooting positions on the city wall.

The first, second and third legions of the Qin army set up battle formations outside the south city, outside the west city, and outside the east city. Chen Chu's imperial flag was located under the central army outside the south city, and more than 500 artillery pieces were lined up at the forefront of the military formation. These artillery were all heavy artillery, which was the so-called general artillery. The cannons were heavy and had a range of three miles. They could fire solid bullets and flowering bullets, and were extremely powerful. However, the artillery of the Ross was not inferior, but the number was far inferior to that of the Qin army.

"Your Majesty, the troops are ready!" Zhang He rushed to the Central Army Commander to report.

Chen Chuyuan glanced at the tall city wall, narrowed his eyes, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed. "Attack!!" "Yes!"

The sound of war drums rang out rapidly, causing the flag to dance rapidly on the command tower.

More than 500 artillery outside the south gate roared at the same time, and the shells tore the air and flew towards the city wall. The people standing on the city wall felt a terrifying feeling of the sky falling and the earth sinking. Rumble~! The smoke and dust on the city wall rolled, and the flames soared into the sky, and continued; many Ross soldiers were blown into the air by the explosion and fell into the city wall from a distance; the broken pieces of the crossbow chariot were flying all over the sky; the barrel of a cannon swirled into the air, and hit the wall bricks with a clang, splashing countless sparks and pieces.

The Ross did not sit and wait for death. Their artillery bombarded the Qin army's artillery array almost at the same time. The fireballs rose in the Qin army's artillery array.

The artillery bombardment of both sides lasted for nearly an hour, and the roar of the Qin army's artillery remained the same, while the Ross artillery was basically silent. Most of the Ross artillery were basically destroyed in the brutal barbaric confrontation just now, and the Qin army also lost many artillery, but the number of the Qin army's artillery was several times that of the Ross, so the impact was not great.

The Qin army artillery continued to sweep the city wall of the Ross people. Half an hour later, the front of the Ross city wall was bumpy, all of which were pits smashed by shells. Only half of the city gate tower was left below. In some places, the walls and a small piece of wall below had collapsed.

The red flag on the command tower pointed forward, and the first legion three 10,000 teams shouted loudly, pushing various siege equipment toward the city wall. At this time, there seemed to be no movement on the city wall, as if everyone had died from the previous shelling.

The Qin army advanced to a place only two hundred steps away from the city wall, but there was still no movement on the city wall.

When the Qin army advanced to a place only fifty steps away from the city wall, countless Ross crossbowmen seemed to emerge out of thin air, and suddenly released a dense rain of arrows. Fortunately, the soldiers of the First Legion did not take it lightly before, and the tower shield and sword shield hands protected the entire assault force step by step.

The rain of arrows hit the shield with crackling sounds, just like rain hitting banana leaves; occasionally, Qin soldiers were shot to the ground by arrows passing through the gaps in the shield.

Then the tower shields lined up by the Qin army retreated, and thousands of powerful Qin crossbowmen showed their bodies. With a strong tremor, an arrow flew towards the city. Nearly a hundred Ross crossbowmen who had no time to dodge were shot to the ground.

The moment before the Ross crossbowman took revenge, the Qin army's powerful crossbowman quickly retreated into the protection of the tower shield. From appearance, attack, to hiding again, the whole movement was like flowing water. It can be seen that these Qin troops were not only well-trained, but also experienced a long battle formation. They were definitely the iron-blooded elites that the Qin army was proud of.

The Rain of the Ross people came down again, but it turned out to be no different from the initial wave of attacks. Most of the arrows hit the Qin army's shields, and only a few were favored by the goddess of luck and passed through the gaps between the shields and captured them. This made the Ross soldiers a little crazy.

The Qin army approached the city wall. They climbed the city ladder and flew to the city one after another. Then the warriors with swords crossed and roared their hands rushed towards the city wall.

A bucket of boiling oil poured down, and the stones were like a waterfall. In this case, the Qin army soldiers could only force themselves. A Qin army soldier was about to climb to the top of the city, but was smashed down by a slug that fell head-on. When a warrior climbed into the middle of the ladder, he was suddenly poured from his head to his feet. He couldn't help but scream, and his whole body sat to the side. At the critical moment, he grabbed the foot of the ladder with his left hand, but he only held on for a moment before falling down.

A warrior with half of his face burned with oil and flesh finally climbed up to the top of the city. Several spears stabbed him almost at the same time. A flash of blood, two spears pierced through his body. He actually held the gun bar tightly and shouted. The spears suddenly cut off the two spears that pierced through his body. Then he flew over and pounced on it. The spears pierced through the body of a Ross soldier. He pushed the Ross soldier out of the encirclement and fell from the other side of the city wall.

The Qin soldiers who rushed up the city wall fell one by one in a fierce battle, and finally dozens of warriors with horizontal swords set up a bridgehead position on the western section of the city wall near the city gate.

The Qin soldiers immediately gathered here, but the strong attacks in other directions did not weaken.

"God of General, it's not good! The Qin army occupied a bridgehead!" An officer covered in blood rushed to Cao Pi to report.

Cao Pi was surprised, "How is that possible!"

The officer showed a hint of fear, "They are not afraid of death! I have never seen anyone like this before!"

Cao Pi frowned and shouted, "I just occupied a bridgehead, why are you panic! I'm sending a hidden artillery team to bombard me!" "Yes!!"

A moment later, "Your Majesty, look!!" Ma Chao pointed to the launching position on the city wall.

Chen Chu looked in the direction Ma Chao pointed, and saw more than a dozen cannons appear on the shooting position. This shooting position protruded five to ten meters above the city wall, so the cannons and powerful crossbows above can bombard the enemy troops attacking the city wall under the city wall.

Chen Chu frowned, "Hurry up! Let the artillery team knock them out for me!!"

However, as soon as Chen Chu's voice fell, the Luosi's artillery began to sound. The whistling shells fell into the Qin army's cluster under the city, and a dozen Qin soldiers were immediately blown away by the explosion.

The shells continued to fall into the Qin army's troops, and in a blink of an eye more than a hundred Qin soldiers fell down. However, in this case, the Qin army was not panicked. They immediately dispersed. At the same time, the powerful crossbowmen changed direction and suppressed and shot at the shooting positions on the city wall. The Qin army that was hitting the city wall still hit the city wall, but the attack momentum was obviously affected. In this case, the general army was probably in chaos!
