The attack surface opposite to Wuguan is narrow, just such a small area, which makes it impossible for the attacking Wuguan side to deploy too many troops. If you want to attack, you can only attack from this narrow attack surface. This is also the most important reason why Wuguan is easy to defend and difficult. For the defense, the focus and purpose of the defense are extremely clear. Just by squeezing this area, the enemy can sigh.

It is precisely for this reason that the large-scale long-range weapons of Wuguan are not set on the city wall, but on the open space behind the city wall. Rows of modified throwing machines are arranged, and the range has been determined long ago. Several rows of throwing machines completely cover this area from far to near. The soldiers who operate the throwing machines do not need to see the enemy. They only need to use the commands issued on the city wall to throw explosive packs to the place they want to throw.

Another advantage of this arrangement is to avoid the throwing aircraft being suppressed and hit by enemy long-range weapons, and minimize the damage to your own long-range heavy weapons as much as possible. Because of the obstruction of the city wall, the opponent cannot see the setting of your own throwing weapons, so he can only fight blindly, and the hit rate can be imagined.

But after the Han army occupied Shaoxi Mountain, this problem was solved. On the top of the mountain, the Han artillery soldiers clearly saw the position of the throwing aircraft. For them, this was just a targeted target shooting.

Zhang Qian quickly realized how painful it was to throw away Shao Xi.

The Han army on the opposite side did not launch an attack for a long time. The Han army on Shaoxi Mountain was the first to launch an attack. With a loud bang, smoke rose up on the top of the mountain, and a cannonball mixed with flames erupted, falling from top to bottom like a meteor. The shell did not hit the throwing machine position of Wuguan, and deviated about dozens of meters. With a loud bang, it landed in a nearby area where sandbags were piled up. These sandbags were originally set up to prevent the attackers from using fire attack. In the explosion, the sandbags weighing dozens of kilograms were thrown into the air like toys, and then fell to the ground with a slap.

The soldiers on the city turned their eyes behind them, and Zhang Qian was no exception. His face turned pale in an instant. Although the first shell attack did not hit the target, he immediately understood the other party's intention. On the throwing machine position, the Chu army throwing soldiers stopped their movements in their hands, looking at the chaos on one side.

Suddenly, these throwing soldiers understood a truth. It turned out that their position was not only not a safe place, but was the enemy's first target of attack.

Everyone's eyes turned to Shaoxishan's direction for the next moment. Zhang Qian's fists suddenly clenched into a slight choking, and his face turned pale.

On the top of the mountain, Long Bin flattened his mouth in dissatisfaction and looked at the artillery battalion commander: "Ball. This shot is ridiculously biased."

"This first shot is to correct ballistics!" The artillery battalion commander chuckled: "Now I figured it out, Commander Long, look at it!"

"The No. 1 gun position, ballistic correction has been completed and loading has been completed!"

"The second gun position, ballistic correction has been completed and loading has been completed!"

As the small red flags were raised, powerful reports came from the dozen cannon positions.

"Image positions 1 to 15 are fired one by one!" The smile on the artillery battalion commander's face shrank and ordered loudly.

"Call No. 1. Launch!" The cannon leader's voice rang out, and a loud noise was filled with smoke from the No. 1 gun position, and the lingering sound of the cannon had not yet fallen. The second cannon rang out immediately.

Long Bin covered his ears tightly, took a few steps back, and whispered: "Damn it, it's so loud. No wonder the artillery guys spoke loudly one by one. I've been in the artillery battalion for a long time. I have to become deaf!"

He covered his ears and stretched his neck to see the effect of this round of shelling, but the smoke in front of him was filled with smoke and he couldn't see anything clearly.

The second round of shooting from Shaoxi Mountain covered the throwing soldiers' positions in Wuguan City. The rows of neatly arranged throwing machines were like woods. They were so majestic before, but now they were like being swept by the strong wind and became chaotic. The flying wood residues and the components of the throwing machines, as well as the throwing soldiers who didn't have time to run away, indicate the heavy losses of the Wuguan defenders. It would be fine if it was just a shelling on Shaoxi Mountain. The key was that the throwing machines had already loaded explosive packs to be launched. These things were ignited by the fire caused by the shelling and exploded. The power of the explosion was no less than the attack from Shaoxi Mountain, and it also increased the effect of this attack.

The explosion finally stopped. Zhang Qian stared blankly at the formerly mighty throwing machine position. At this moment, dozens of throwing machines turned into residues on the ground. At this time, only one left was standing alone in the corner. On its side were several frightened Chu throwing soldiers.

With a snap, a round thing fell from the sky and landed on the edge of the base of the trencher. The bones were spinning, and the eyes of several soldiers were mechanically rotating with its rotation. It was not a shell, but a head that was collapsed into the sky. The part below the head had long disappeared.

Finally stopped and turned. The wide-open eyes on the blood-stained head were staring straight at a soldier directly opposite him. The soldier's dull gaze finally had a trace of spirituality. His soul seemed to have returned to his body, but in an instant, it was like a cat who had been stepped on its tail. It screamed and jumped three feet high in place. It fell to the ground and ran away with howling. The shrill howling had been with his figure disappearing, still echoing in the air.

With a loud bang, another loud bang on Shaoxi Mountain, an iron ball with fire fell from the sky. This time, it accurately hit the only intact throwing machine on the field. The loud bang, accompanied by a clamor, and this throwing machine disappeared.

"Perfect!" On Shaoxin Mountain, the artillery battalion commander watched happily as the last throwing machine disappeared from his sight. This last shot was operated by him personally.

"Not bad!" Although Long Bin's ears were buzzing, he still couldn't help but exclaim loudly. During the exercises, he had only seen a single gun fire. This was the first time he had seen a scene of shooting at more than a dozen guns at the same time. "It's so powerful. With this thing, any peerless general in the world will disappear from now on. No matter who you are, you will have nothing after one shot."

Long Bin felt a little regretful. With this thing, if you have a hundred enemies or a thousand kills in the future, it may only exist in the legend of the storyteller.

"Adjust the cannon position and prepare to attack the city wall. The division commander's general attack is about to begin." Long Bin ordered loudly. The loss of consciousness was only brief, and his thoughts were immediately pulled back to the battle in front of him.

"Adjust the artillery position, change the flowering bullets, prepare to kill the resistance forces above the city walls, and open the passage for the army!" the artillery battalion commander shouted.

One cannon began to slowly turn the black hole muzzle.

On the Shaoxi Mountain, a firework flew into the air. With a bang, it exploded into countless bright red flowers, scattered into meteors. Seeing these scattered fiery red Han stars, opposite Wuguan, under the Han army's central army, a big drum suddenly pounded, and the sound of attacking war horns immediately rang out among the square formations.

With the sound of the sound of the siege car, which had just been spliced, slowly moved forward by the soldiers' push. The Han siege car did not temporarily cut down trees when it was approaching the siege, but was done in advance, split into pieces and put them on the carriage and transported to the battlefield. When the battle was about to be fought, the parts were assembled. The basic skeleton of the entire siege car was made of steel and was installed at the bottom. It did not take much effort to push it. More importantly, this siege car that was several meters high and could almost be level with the city wall also had considerable attack power. On the top, several magic crossbows were the death sickle that harvested life for the soldiers guarding the city on the city.

The latest siege car like Han has iron plates hanging on the entire outside. The iron plates about the thick fingers can not only resist the attack of crossbow arrows, but also have a stone cannon at most. In the eyes of the soldiers guarding the city, this thing is a steel monster. If he is afraid of anything, it is that he is afraid of artillery like Han, or the explosives throwing bags in Wuguan City that could have been used to fight against him. This is why Mei Hua destroyed all the throwing machines in the city as soon as possible.

In addition to siege vehicles, the New First Division also equipped another siege weapon. This thing is similar to a long siege deck with a long siege deck. The front is extremely high and almost as high as the siege vehicle. The second half is close to the ground. The entire equipment is dozens of meters long, and there are twelve tires on each side of the bottom. The Han army called it a trestle. After he was pushed to the edge of the city, the front end was directly above the city wall. The cavalry of the siege troops could directly rush up the city wall along the trestle, and infantry could also rush up from it.

These two weapons that made the Chu army helpless were of course not expensive. The price of each one was shocking. Now they are only equipped with the Young Guards, but other troops are still not affordable.

Zhang Qian stared at the monster slowly approaching. He had seen similar weapons before, but they were all made with a forest head. There were too many things to destroy him. But now the things that appeared in front of him were helpless. The fired crossbow hit the target and made him shake at most a few times. However, the Shenji crossbow that followed was enough to make no living life near the crossbow.

How to defend? I can't hold on anymore! Zhang Qian shouted in his heart.

"Prepare to join the formation and fight hand-to-hand!" He pulled out the sword at his waist. The only way to defend the city wall now was to have the soldiers fight hand-to-hand with the Han soldiers who were about to climb the city.
