Chapter 719: The Fall of Fancheng
"What kind of monster is this?"
“It looks like a trencher.”
"How could there be such a catapult in the world?"
"No, the walls of Fancheng may not be able to block the opponent's catapult!"
When the defenders of Fancheng saw that outside the horse-blocking wall, the Xia army built a catapult position, and hundreds of giant Hui guns stood in front of Fancheng's wall.
In order to protect these Hui artillery, the Xia army deployed 200,000 soldiers and built wooden fences and earthen bases overnight to prevent the defenders from leaving the city to destroy Hui artillery.
Now the Hui Hui artillery position has been formed and has become the absolute means of siege for the Xia army. Tan Daoji, Wen Pin, Huang Zu, Gao Aocao and other defenders had a blood-faced face.
If it is a normal siege, the city wall cannot be destroyed in a short time. Even if it causes damage to the city wall, the defenders can repair it in time. However, the siege monsters used by the siege party have exceeded their cognition.
Each giant revolver cannon is sixteen meters high, equipped with hundreds of gears, iron chains, and requires hundreds of people to operate. It is simply a siege beast specially invented for siege.
"How should I defend this?"
As the lord general of Fan City, Tan Daoji looked pale and sweat kept oozing out of his palms.
He was ordered to defend Fancheng, which had blocked Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Xie Xuan and others for more than a month, but Tan Daoji really had no choice in the face of the huge Hui cannon of the Gongshu squad.
The only way is to go out of the city to burn these Hui cannons, but the problem is that Zhang Xutuo, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Han Qinhu, He Ruobi, and Shi Wansui were eyeing each other.
If you go out of the city to fight, you will definitely be trampled by the iron hooves of Zhang Xutuo's army.
The power of Jingzhou has not many war horses, and the cavalry is far less powerful than the power in the north. If you leave the city, you will definitely be a dead end.
"Let's see if the other party's trencher is bluffing. In addition, make sure to abandon Fancheng. Once Fancheng falls, pass the floating bridge and retreat to Xiangyang."
Tan Daoji is worthy of being a long-time general on the battlefield. He has seen that the opponent used the Hui Hui cannon, an attacking beast, almost close to Fancheng. He knew that Fancheng could not hold on, so he secretly ordered everyone and prepared to cut off his arm.
"This is the domineering mechanism of the Gongshu squad!"
"The Huihui Cannon is really a powerful tool."
"I finally have a way to break through the Xiangfan defense line."
Unlike the panic of the defenders of Fancheng, the Xia army generals such as Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, and Han Qinhu looked up at the towering giant Hui cannons, and were shocked by the great efforts of the Gongshu squad.
The Gongshu Ban, Qin Huali and other craftsmen greatly strengthened the combat effectiveness of the Xia army.
"Start throwing stones!"
The Gongshu class was furious in his eyes, and he could finally see the role of the improved Huihui cannon in actual combat!
"one two three!"
Accompanied by the soldiers' loud shouts, hundreds of giant revolving cannons were exerted. With the blessing of domineering mechanisms and extremely terrifying counterweights, thousands of kilograms of huge rocks were thrown into the air and ruthlessly bombarded the walls of Fancheng!
A thousand kilogram of huge rocks and terrifying speed, waves of terrifying impact shocked the city walls of Fancheng, and countless cracks appeared in the city walls, shaking violently!
The 300,000 defenders in Fancheng were in panic, as if an earthquake occurred in the city!
The power of the modified Hui Cannon is too terrible!
boom!
A defender of Fancheng was hit by thousands of kilograms of huge rocks and turned into a ball of meat paste!
The arrow tower carefully built by the Fancheng defenders could not withstand the power of a thousand kilograms of huge rocks. The moment it was hit by a thousand kilograms of huge rocks, the arrow tower cracked and the gravel rolled down!
The archers on the arrow tower can't die anymore!
The power of the modified Hui Cannon is even more terrifying than hail, causing Fancheng to shake.
These are hundreds of giant Hui cannons bombarding the walls of Fancheng!
Even if the craftsmen in Fancheng are repairing it, they cannot keep up with the destruction speed of so many Huihuans!
Moreover, when repairing the city wall, if a craftsman is hit by a thousand kilograms of huge rocks, it will instantly turn into a pool of mud!
"It's over now."
Tan Daoji sighed, the Fancheng wall could not resist the bombardment of Huihui cannons within a short distance.
The other party is not sieging the city, but demolishing it!
If you cannot break through the wall of Fancheng, then razed it to the ground directly!
The giant Huihuan constantly demolished the walls of Fancheng, Wengcheng and arrow towers, and flattened Fancheng one after another.
Although this method looks a bit clumsy and has no tactics at all, the victory lies in stability. The defenders have no choice but to watch Wengcheng and the outer city walls turn into ruins.
Hui cannons bombarded Fancheng for three days and nights. When Fancheng was broken, the defenders had to crowd on the floating bridge between Fancheng and Xiangyang City, pushing each other. A large number of soldiers were in Luoshui, and countless corpses were floating on the water.
On the surface of the Han River, a large number of warships appeared, and flags were covered with flags. Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Gan Ning, Ling Cao, Ling Tong, Jiang Qin, Huang Gai and other naval generals commanded the navy, attacked the floating bridge between Xiangyang City and Fan City, cut off the retreat of the Fan City defenders, and cooperated with the offensive launched by Zhang Xutuo and Gongshu Ban on land.
"Gan Xingba, Huang Gongfu, Ling Gongji, you lead the fireboat and use the wind to attack the floating bridge!"
"Abide by the order!"
Gan Ning, Huang Gai and Ling Tong each led a team of fireboats, and took advantage of the wind to set fire to the floating bridge between Xiangyang City and Fan City.
War is a treacherous way.
Zhou Yu and Xie Xuan did nothing and did not give Fancheng defenders a way out.
The Xia Navy attacked the floating bridge with fire. Gan Ning took the Jinfan thief and manipulated the turrets, broke through continuously, and then ignited the turret, rags, and hay piled on the turret!
For a moment, the flames swelled and crashed into the floating bridge!
Plop.
After igniting the fireboat, Gan Ning and Jinfan thieves immediately jumped into the river. They were proficient in water and could swim back to their own warships, or seize enemy ships.
Dozens of tumbling warships hit the floating bridge, and the flames spread to the floating bridge, and the floating bridge also began to catch fire, and the fires soared into the sky and thick smoke rolled.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
The Song soldiers crowded on the floating bridge fell into the water one after another and were washed away by the river, and their lives and death were unknown.
The remaining soldiers of Fancheng who were about to retreat to Xiangyang City were burned by fireboats because the pontoon bridge that was used as a back road was burned to death.
Fancheng was the only lonely city north of the Song army. Fancheng was destroyed by the improved Hui artillery of Gongshu Ban. They could not advance or retreat and became an isolated army.
"Surrender and not kill!"
"Surrender and not kill!"
On land, Zhang Xutuo's 200,000 soldiers of the Sui army shouted in unison, shaking the sky and the earth.
On the water surface, Zhou Yu and Xie Xuan's navy also shouted together, and the Han River shook.
The defenders of Fancheng were like they were trapped in a dilemma of being surrounded by enemies, and their hearts were floating.
Clang.
I don’t know which soldier’s weapon fell, and then more and more soldiers abandoned the weapon.
There is no way to advance or retreat, and morale has been lost.
"The situation is over."
Faced with such a situation, the defenders of Fancheng were unable to turn the world back and had to surrender in an established manner.
