The first thousand three hundred and fifty-two chapters: Han flag world (42) cloud movement in all d
With two loud noises, all the engineers who were busy couldn't help but stop their work and followed the two balls of fireballs. Jiang Fu was standing at the position of the smoke rising in front of him. He didn't see clearly that the engineers below were now being curious babies, otherwise he would have jumped and cursed.
Not only the engineers of the Han army, but also the soldiers guarding the city were following the two balls of fireballs, although the first one passed by the city without causing any damage to them, the movement still made almost all the Qin soldiers frightened.
Near, close! With a heart-wrenching scream, the city suddenly became panicked because the two fireballs were approaching and descending quickly, and this time, they would not fall again.
There were two loud noises, and a shell was in the city wall. The entire wall of Tianjiaping Fortress seemed to be shaking with the impact of the shell. A piece of wall battlements disappeared. The shells that penetrated the city wall almost consumed all the kinetic energy. After rushing out of the Tushishi City, they swirled on the ground. The black and round bullet body was like a devil, quietly stopping in front of a group of Qin soldiers. They looked at the now quiet object in front of them in horror. Just now, this guy smashed the city wall not far from them and was regarded as a guarantee.
Another shell did not hit the city wall, but was the city tower on the fortress. The wooden city tower collapsed in an instant with a clamor. Almost half of the buildings fell down, and the raging fire burned instantly. Several soldiers were covered in fire, running out of the ruins, screaming loudly while running, rushing towards the city wall, and rushed out of the gap that had just been blown out. With a snap, the scream stopped, but the flames were still burning. The soldiers on the city silently stared at the burning flames under the city, and the terror on their faces could not be concealed by any means.
Gou Xin was also on the city tower, but he was very lucky. When a beam collapsed, it hit the ground one end and the other end was still on the beam. It accidentally formed a triangular safety zone on his head, which allowed him to escape without any danger. Otherwise, Tian Jiaping would have lost their highest commander here before the enemy's attack was officially launched.
Although he escaped by chance, Gou Xin's current appearance is indeed not very good-looking. Several flames were burning on his body, and he seemed to have just been dug out of the soil. When the sound of fire was rushing out, several personal guards quickly picked up a basin of water from the city, and poured it on him with a rush, which immediately turned him into a chicken.
"Extinguish the fire, put out the fire immediately!" Gou Xin shouted loudly without caring about his current image.
On the city wall, the water tanks and sand used to extinguish fires were all ready-made. However, the Qin army never thought that the enemy's arson method was not the pattern they imagined.
The soldiers rushed up to put out the fire in panic, but Gou Xin stepped onto the city wall and looked at the Han army in the distance. Although his face was quiet, he was extremely worried. What weapon was this? It made a violent explosion like a grenade. But the grenade was thrown by people, but this thing was not. Even if a person had the strength, he could not throw a grenade from the inside. He touched a grenade in his arms. Now Hanguguan's own military workshop can make grenades. There was a pot outside and it was filled with inside.
The gunpowder was lit and the broken porcelain pieces produced after the explosion were thrown out and destroyed. However, the one in his arms was secretly smuggled from the Han Dynasty. It was very small in number and was only equipped for the commander's confidant Eagle. He could have one because his brother Gou Yi is now the leader of the Eagle. The grenade made in the Han Dynasty was iron, and the iron was carved with extremely regular patterns. Gou Xin had heard of his brother's description. The grenade made in the Han Dynasty was several times more powerful than the grenade made in Hangu Pass.
This situation made Quxin very discouraged.
In the distance, two more fire lights flashed. Gouxin subconsciously bent down and hid behind the wall. However, he immediately remembered that if the previous weapon had just hit his position, even if he was hiding behind the wall, he could not protect himself at all. He simply straightened his waist and stared at the two whistling iron sparks in the air.
After two loud bangs, two more pieces of the city wall were crossed.
This is not something that human power can stop.
Gouxin turned his head and ordered loudly: "Apart from the crossbow and the trencher operating soldiers, the other soldiers immediately retreated under the city wall and stood close to the base of the city wall. Without my order, you are not allowed to come up."
Gouxin used the most instinctive reaction of a general and issued the most correct order. The Qin soldiers who were originally waiting for battle in the city fell down the city walls one after another, and the artillery would not threaten them much. Only hundreds of soldiers who manipulate long-range weapons were left in the city.
Gouxin rushed to a trencher a few steps, pointed to the two places in the distance where smoke was coming from time to time, and shouted: "Aim at that place, hit me, and smash them."
"General, you can't beat me. The distance is too far, and our catapult can't reach the longest range!" The soldier's voice was filled with crying. Only others beat me up, but he couldn't fight back. Such things are extremely cowardly on anyone.
There is no need to mention the crossbow when the catapult cannot be smashed. At this time, Gouxin suddenly felt a little resentful of the general. In the past two years, the general has brought a lot of weapons they eliminated from the Han Dynasty through some smuggling channels. The crossbow is one of them. Because of its bulky and limited power, it has long been eliminated in the Han army. However, for the Qin army, the range of the crossbow produced from the Han Dynasty is one third longer than that produced by the Qin State. If there were a few units here, it might even pose a threat to the strange weapons of the Han army, but the general did not allocate one of these good things to the Lubin Fortress.
Gouxin couldn't figure it out. After all, this place was also the front line against the Han army and was the most important place. If Lu Bin was lost, the Han army would be able to move in directly and directly threaten Hangu Pass.
From the brother's vague meaning, Gouxin also knew that the strategic focus of the Marshal's strategic focus is not on the Han army opposite, but on Xianyang, the best armor and the best weapons are all equipped on the troops in that direction. Thinking of the man the Marshal was about to deal with, Gouxin couldn't help but shivered. There, the king of Qin!
But Gouxin has no way out. As my brother said, everything about Gou is tied to the Grand Marshal, and everyone regards Gou as the Grand Marshal's most confidant. If the Grand Marshal collapses, Gou will definitely not survive. It will be a serious crime to kill the nine clans. Now only beg the Grand Marshal to succeed. In this way, Gou may usher in a prosperous and prosperous world.
The range could not attack the opponent's killing weapons, and used them to deal with the scattered engineers. It was completely useless. Not only did they hit the target, but they also wasted weapons in vain. Gouxin finally stopped this meaningless work and watched the Han army engineers under the city slowly carry out civil engineering work, clearing the obstacles he had worked hard to set up little by little.
A strange scene appeared above the Tianjiaping Fortress. Under the city, the Han army engineers slowly advanced, but there was silence on the city. Occasionally, the Han army soldiers in the distance would fire a few shots, but they would also shoot and take a break.
Jiang Fu was also very dissatisfied. He originally thought that he could use cannons to cause major damage to the enemy, but the guards on the city were obviously an extremely smart person. He could have seen the crowded heads on the city before, but now, there are almost no figures. Obviously, the other party is hiding.
"Can they kill their catapults and crossbows?" Jiang Fu asked the cannon leader in front of him.
The cannon leader had already become a big face. After hearing Jiang Fu's question, he shook his head in embarrassment, "Battery Commander, this cannon cannot be accurately aimed at. Whether it can hit it depends on luck."
"Depending on luck? Fuck it!" Jiang Fu shook his head helplessly, "Stop shooting, waste all the shells. We only have a little configuration, and we have to leave a little to hit Hangu Pass in the future. We can't hit the left and right."
The sound of artillery fell silent. At this moment, the gate of Tianjiaping Fortress suddenly opened, and hundreds of Qin soldiers rushed out shouting. The Gouxin on the city could not bear such a passive situation and launched a counterattack. His target was the engineers working.
Gouxin was not clear about the military configuration of the Han army. In his opinion, the enemy's engineers were just some auxiliary soldiers. The auxiliary soldiers were always slags with only five combat power, causing a lot of damage to them. On the one hand, they could boost their morale and on the other hand, they could also deter their opponents. Of course, he did not know that the Han army's engineers were completely an independent group of troops, but when they had to set foot on the battlefield, they were not unable to fight independently.
Seeing the Qin army rushing out, Jiang Fu finally became excited.
"I'll tell you, the Qin people are not always cowards, they're here." He screamed in excitement. A company soldier who had already prepared quickly came forward, and the engineers working in front quickly gathered their sparse formations. They did not bring knives or guns, but the engineer shovel in their hands was a sharp weapon. The engineer shovel made of steel was round and fox-shaped, and a metal bayonet was inlaid with a two-foot-long wooden tail. Seeing the Qin army approaching, the engineers quickly took a stick from their belts and closed it on the bayonet. With a click, the engineer shovel became more than one meter long and could be used as a machete.
