Chapter 18 Two feet 2

Lu Chuang looked at the cannonballs roaring in front of him and were also a little stunned. With the nature of Chu people being afraid of ghosts and gods, he was also afraid of cannonballs.

Two feet! Yesterday, when I went to the head coach's shogunate to discuss the war, the artillery camp told him this number personally.

The artillery is placed horizontally, assuming that everything is correct, then the front and back deviation of the shells minus the width of the city wall can be left with two feet. This is the most ideal estimate. For various reasons, the shells will definitely fly out of the outer female wall. In the past, when the Qin army was bombarded, the shells would hit a blood groove at a time, but now it is my turn. Maybe before climbing to the top of the city, people would be hit in half by the shells and die under the city wall like a halve.

Standing in front of the city protection, Lu Chuang, the more he thought about it, shook his head hard. He hoped that the order to climb the city would be issued, the better. However, God insisted on going against him. Chen Qing, who was extremely demanding on shelling, had not yet set off the banner of preparing.

The twelve fifteen pound cannons, the narrow city wall cannot be opened one by one. In the end, only four accurate cannons aimed at the front side of the southern city wall and fired carefully. The remaining eight cannons were all placed in front of the city wall extension line. Even if the cannons were too large, they would be spread to the inside of the city wall and would not hurt the soldiers who had climbed the city.

Unfortunately, even though there were only four artillery fired on the side of the city wall, the excessive dispersion still caused the shells to fly out of the city wall after the first landing point and land in front of the city wall, without falling on the top of the city or inside the city wall. With a frustrated Shen Qing ran to Cheng Tong and shook his head repeatedly: "It's not feasible! The dispersion is more than two meters."

"Why is this? Are there any differences in the cannon strings?" Cheng Tong understood artillery by shooting, which may not be correct, but it can be used.

"There has been heavy rain in the past few days, and the tide of air affected the gunpowder." Chen Qing could not think of many reasons. "Or it may be more useful for artillery."

"What?" Cheng Tong asked, pointing the horse whip in his hand at the rising sun. "It's already breakfast, and it's tomorrow to drive the city. Every night, the Qin people can install it for a day, and there are dozens of sunken boats in the Han River..."

Cheng Tong was obviously a little excited. Not only did he feel sorry for the gunpowder needed to explode the city, but he was also worried about the sinking boat in the Han River. When he was excited to blame him, the army Sima Dou often said: "Where is there, there..."

Dou Chang's face was full of surprise. In front of the city protection, the soldiers holding shields and short swords in their hands and wearing Mo Xiang armor were already moving. Under the gaze of the workers, the fifth deputy siege ladders were placed on the city protection. Because of the artillery attack just now, Chai Fan on the inside of the city protection had long been broken, and the wood planted under the city that extended outward to block the ladder truck was mostly broken. As the shells were rampant, the soldiers stepped on the cloud ladder and began to climb the city.

"Who is the name of the commander of the soldiers?" There were 30 divisions and 480 soldiers in the Chu army. It would be impossible to remember the name of each commander of the soldiers who were not allowed to recite it specifically. Cheng Tong heard about the name of the commander of the soldiers who climbed the city several times, but he often forgot it.

"Report to the general, his man, Lu Mingqiu, is the last time Lu Zhong." Lu Gao hurriedly spoke, and also talked about the ancestors of the Lu family.

"Lu Chuang..." Cheng Tongfu read the name of Lu Chuang and nodded slightly. He did not question Lu Gao's kind lies - Lu Zhong was the ancestor of the Chu people, but Zhurong's eight surnames did not have the Lu family, nor did Lu family. In this era, Lu family had only two sources: one was Tian Tong, the son of King Xuan of Qi, who was enfeoffed in Luxiang, and his descendants were Lu; the other was Rong, the Yun surname, which was settled in Anlu County. Rong, the Yun surname, had previously established the Lu Hun Kingdom. After the Jin people destroyed the country, the nobles and common people of Lu Hun Kingdom took the country as their clan and called the Lu family.

In Chu, family genealogy is very important. The aura of ancestors will bring refuge to descendants, and the sins of ancestors will also affect future generations. Lu Gao hoped that Lu Chuang would become the general of the Chu army to climb the city. To do this, bravery alone is not enough, and he must have a family background.

The infantry was already climbing the city, but the commander did not stop him. The four gates aimed at the cannon gunman who fired on the side of the city wall. The cannon gunman had goose bumps all over his body, and an inexplicable heat flow was rushing through his body. They knew that if they were not careful, the shells would hit their comrades.

"Let it--!" After correcting the shelling parameters, the cannon leader shouted to let it go. With a "boom", the cannonball flew towards the city under the gaze of the cannon leader and the artillery barracks, then jumped up, then landed on the city head, and then jumped up again, until the less than 600 meters of city wall flew out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and carried out the next loading.

The speed of the shelling slowed down instantly. Lu Zi, who was holding a shield, was already on the ladder, and the iron helmet on his head was close to the lower edge of the city. After all, it was a temporary ladder, and the height of four or five feet was obviously much higher. He either climbed to the top of the ladder and jumped on the top of the city without a female wall, or stepped on the side of the ladder to the city. Neither method was good, especially the latter.

‘Huh…’ The shells flew past the city, with a sharp sound of wind. He did not move immediately, but waited for his subordinates on the other four ladders. According to the details explained by Lu Gao, when he stepped onto the city, it was when the artillery soldiers ceased fire. Without the cover of the artillery soldiers, the Qin people in the city would soon surge up like a tide.

The waiting time was very short, but Lu Chuang felt like a century had passed. His mind was full of fragmented memories and imaginations. He thought of the Battle of Jucheng, the Mi Lu seen under the lights when the Great Li in Yingdu, and the Qin Palace with overlapping towers. He also thought of the ** who would be cut open by the medical Yin after he died in the battle. A strange witch who had never met would reproduce his descendants...

"Master!Master..." Shengri, who was on the ladder next to him, shouted, "Whoosh", the shells rushed past, cutting half of his head, and the shells continued to speed, hitting the chest of the Yushi on the other ladder. When he finally left, he cut Yushi on the outermost ladder in half, and his colorful intestines suddenly fell from the air, and the soldiers on the ladder screamed.

"Go up--" Lu Chui, who took back all his thoughts, shouted. He quickly climbed to the top of the ladder, and then jumped heavily on the top of the city. After this action, the cannon stopped.

The city was empty, more than 400 steps long. Lu Chui, who was standing at the top of the city, naturally saw the Qin army in Yunyang City. They were all on the low wall behind the deep trench below the city wall. After the rumbling and fearful sound of cannons stopped, a Chu soldiers suddenly appeared on the top of the city, and thousands of people did not respond for a long time. It was not until more and more Chu soldiers climbed to the city and made it overnight. The "Lu" flag with a skewed font was floating on the city wall that they finally reacted and pointed at the Chu soldiers and shouted and beat the drums.

"Good! Great Good!" Lu Chuang climbed up to the top of the city and followed him, more and more Chu soldiers climbed up to the top of the city. The Chu soldiers outside the city were extremely excited. Cheng Tong waved his whip and stamped his feet. In addition to repeatedly saying goodness, he also recited "Lu Chuang, Lu Chuang". He finally remembered the name of this unknown leader.

"Shoot!" The Chu army outside the city was in full swing. The Qin army in the city not only sounded the war drum, but the crossbowman who was originally behind the low wall of the deep trench quickly moved to the city, and under the command of the crossbow general, aimed at the Chu army at the top of the city to shoot.

The rain of arrows came like locusts, but unfortunately because of the angle, they were blocked by the shields in the hands of the Chu army. With the experience of fighting, Lu Chuang was worried about the soldiers who quickly approached, wearing bronze helmets and bronze armor. They also held a large shield and round shield in their left hand, and a short spear slightly higher than the man in their right hand. This was obviously not the Qin people, but the barbarians.

"Climb the city! Climb the city! Climb quickly..." Lu Qi turned around and shouted outside the city. At this time, the worker's pass was already on the city protection, and the ten ladders were all over the city. However, the armored weapons were extremely heavy, and the soldiers had never trained to climb the city. In half a quarter of an hour, there were only 30 or 40 soldiers who climbed the city.

The most important thing about taking the city is to climb to the top of the city. Ant support, Ancheng, Linches, Cloud Ladder... Everything is to send soldiers to the top of the city. The first soldiers who climbed to the top of the city are named Xiandeng, which is the most honorable title. Even if the Qin army was beheaded and earned, the soldiers who first climbed can still be promoted to a doctor.

The Chu army had already climbed to the top of the city. All they had to do was to defend the city and let more soldiers go to the city. Lu Chuang was anxious that the soldiers were so slow that they were still shouting "speed". The barbarians jumping up to the city had already come to kill.

"Array! Array..." Thirty and forty Chu soldiers occupied the city head more than 60 meters long, and were in the west, while Lu Cang was in the east. The 18-foot-wide sword and shield guard could only stand two people. He stood at the west with a Yu Shi and a Yu Shi and a Yu Shi and a Yu Shi. Behind them were not only the sword and shield guards, but also the archers.

Lu Qi raised his shield with his left hand and his body was low. When he wanted to talk to the fellow Pai Yushi, the crossbow arrow flew across the head helmet and made a sound. The arrows could not penetrate the iron helmet. Then, when the two of them were slightly distracted by the arrows, the "Ah" sound in front of him, the barbarian in bronze armor rushed to the front of him for a few steps and jumped high towards the gap between them.

‘Refute…’ The archers in the back row quickly fired their bows, and then most of the arrows were shot on the barbarian’s round shield. The arrows were blocked by the round shield. Lu Chuang was about to wait for the barbarian to land and raise the shield and push it hard. With a "bang", the square shield shook a huge shock, and a copper spearhead came out through the shield. A cold sweat suddenly appeared on his back. Fortunately, the shield was solid, and the spearhead was only two inches wide, so he could never stab it in again.

Lu Chuang's square shield was pierced by a copper spear, but the square shield beside him, who was known as a scholar, was slapped hard by the barbarians. With this kick, the barbarian in the air actually jumped back and landed safely several feet away.

The Chu army had never seen the jumping and jumping style of fighting before. Lu Chuang at the top of the city was a little confused, and Lu Gao from the city was shocked and said, "This is a Ba man!"

The Ba people are people from the mountains and forests, jumping continuously, and they have been like this since childhood. Even if they are wearing heavy copper armor, it will not affect their constantly jumping figure. The width of the city can only stand two swords and shields, which is equivalent to fighting alone and the military formation cannot be played. Instead, the archers behind the Chu soldiers kept firing arrows to the barbarians, delaying their sharp attack.
