Chapter 66

"Boom-" "Bang-"

"Boom-" "Bang-"

"Boom-" "Bang-"

The roar of the giant cannons is very different from other cannons, and it is always accompanied by the trembling of the earth. The Han army could not fall asleep at the beginning. At the request of the officers, except for the soldiers on duty, the rest of the people were lying to rest. Gradually, more and more people fell asleep in fatigue.

Zhou Yu's eyes were red and staring at the shiny flames in the distance. Every time after flashing, the city walls would shake. "Boom" "Bang" "Bao!" Zhou Yu's face turned pale and his fists were clenched. Zhou Yu, who had always been happy and angry, hit the pile with his fist and cursed: "This turtle grandson! I have a kind of rushing up!" It was dark on all sides, and the wind was whistling, as if he was mocking loudly.

Zhao Xingde's armor was not untied, so he was in the enemy Taichung with Yi Su. Ma Rui wanted to lead the cavalry out of the city at night to destroy the giant cannon, but he refused. The Liao army seemed to have no other big moves besides the shelling of the city wall, but in fact, it was a 200,000 army waiting for the battle, and it was like a tight bowstring. The principle of the Han cavalry attacking was to attack him unprepared. And beside the giant cannon, there were countless ambushers waiting for the Han army to go out. Even if it was unthinkable for the time being, he would not let his subordinates die like this!

"Boom-" "Bang-"

"Boom-" "Bang-"

"Boom-" "Bang-"

The sound of cannons is like the sound of the tide of the sea, and the slow bombardment of the giant cannon is so boring that it is desperate. Zhao Xingde's disadvantage is that there is no real cannon. Gradually, his forehead is already hot, and there seems to be some hope in the hazy dimness that can penetrate the giant shield car like a "turtle shell", but he is always in a daze and inconspicuous. "What is the solution?" Zhao Xingde lowered his head and pondered, traveling from the enemy platform to the fortress, from the fortress to the clean room, from the clean room to the Nanshan City

The factory, swords, spears and other weapons are easily broken, and they need to be repaired in time by craftsmen. When the craftsman saw Zhao Xingde coming in, he smiled and nodded, "General Zhao is here." However, the work in his hand was not stopped. A red-burning weapon was placed on the iron platform, and the room was filled with the familiar smell of charcoal burning steel. Zhao Xingde simply sat down and watched the craftsman's hammer hit the red-burning iron one after another. His brows stretched a little, and he was still thinking about how to destroy the enemy's giant shield chariot?

The blacksmith was unable to get the job, so he planned to open another furnace and said to the side: "Give it a fire."

"Okay—" the blacksmith agreed readily. He wore thick gloves to pick up the iron knife that was burning red on the stove. The hot red knife was still emitting a slight heat, and inserted it into the wood that caused the fire to the stove next to it. "The iron bar burned dark red, the surface temperature was as high as 600 degrees Celsius. When the surface of the iron bar turned orange-red, the surface temperature reached 800 degrees Celsius and when it turned bright yellow, the temperature reached more than 900 degrees Celsius. Continue to heat to 1,500 degrees Celsius and melt into iron..." Zhao Xingde couldn't help but recall these numbers in his mind, remembering the color in the blast furnace to judge the temperature of the fire, but his eyes looked at the iron bar inserted into the fire to the fire. The ignition point of ordinary firewood was no more than 300 degrees Celsius, and soon it started to burn. The flames burned more and more vigorously in his pupils. Suddenly, a brighter flame burned.

"Red Hot Bomb," Zhao Xingde suddenly stood up, "Red Hot Bomb!" shouted excitedly: "Use Red Hot Bomb!"

"General Zhao." Several craftsmen around him looked at him with disheveled faces. "It's okay," Zhao Xingde pointed to the iron-thrusting charcoal furnaces and said in a deep voice: "Move these furnaces to Zhenyuantai. Get it fast!"

"General Zhao, there are still weapons to be repaired..." The blacksmith was a little embarrassed, someone came to take them early in the morning.

"Don't worry about it for now, listen to me," Zhao Xingde said without hesitation. He turned around twice, pondered and said again: "You still need gauze and wet soil, go and prepare immediately!" His eyes were red, his eyes wide open, and his whole body looked very different from the usual words when he spoke. The craftsmen did not dare to neglect and prepared separately as they were told. Zhao Xingde and these craftsmen personally moved the stove to Zhenyuantai, and were still on the stairs of the enemytai. Suddenly, he felt a shaking swaying and the stove almost overturned.

The oil lamp hanging on the stairs kept shaking, and the flames were bright and dark. "Be careful--" Zhao Xingde didn't care about the hot hands, and tried hard to hold the stove firmly, shouting, "What's going on?" No one answered in the narrow stairs, and the enemy station was also filled with noise. People were shouting in panic, shouting, and running. "The city wall collapsed!" Zhao Xingde finally heard a sentence clearly. In an instant, his scorching eyes became as if frozen. He bit his teeth sorely, forcing himself to calm down. Looking at the terrified craftsmen, he said in a deep voice: "Come with me and bring the stove to the enemy station."

Zhou Yu felt the ground move for a while, but he had not seen it yet. The city wall that had just hit the shell had cracked a crack, and the rammed earth was falling down "puff puff puff puff puff puff puff" many times. The inner layer of rammed earth had long been shaken loose. The rammed earth kept falling, and suddenly, with a "wow" sound, the city wall collapsed a large hole.

"The wall collapses!" Zhou Yu, who almost fell in, was the first to shout loudly, "Fix the city wall!"

"Who said the wall collapsed!" Du Chujiao jumped up in half a dream and half awake. When he looked left and right, he opened his mouth wide in surprise. The smoke and dust filled the city wall, and a gap had broken out. "Come with me!" Du Chujiao stood up and was the first to run towards the soil bag that had been prepared. Han army soldiers followed him, regardless of the rammed earth being collapsed, and desperately rushed towards the damaged wall. "Hurry, hurry--" Zhang Liu carried a wooden stake and climbed up the collapsed city pile. Repairing the city wall was similar to repairing the river embankment. It is best to first lay down the wooden stakes in the collapsed earth pile, and then pile up the cuffs between the wooden stakes. Now it is cold, so you can pour some water on it to freeze the soil and wood, so you can barely resist the enemy.

Tong Yunjie looked out with a thousand-mile mirror. Not far outside the city, almost in a moment, the number of lit torches suddenly increased. Then, the torches rushed towards the city like a tide. It was actually cavalry, the palace tent army that had never directly attacked the city. Everyone held a pine open torch in his hand, without any siege equipment, and rushed straight towards the gap in the city wall. Behind the palace tent army, more and more torches were gathering, rushing towards the city wall in a hurry, as if the tide of the sea was surging, and in a flash it into the damaged sea wall, sweeping all the creatures behind it.

"Each gun position uses shotgun and fire with all its might!" Tong Yunjie ordered in a deep voice. As he spoke, he walked to the gun position and patted the shoulders of the pale gunners, "Sacrifice yourself to revive the man, just today, we will stay here!" The wooden leg walked on the ground and made a "pa" sound. Because the city wall collapsed, many gunners felt that it was almost the same as the sky collapsed. The general was not afraid of danger, and everyone calmed down. "Damn, when we arrived here, we were fighting hard with Liaogou!" "At this time, grandpa had already made a profit!" "Ammunition, ammunition!"

"Boom--" "Boom---" The cannons on the top of the city began to roar, sprinkling clusters of violent flickerballs in front of the city wall, forming a death zone. The Han army gunners began to work in an orderly manner, as if there was no such thing as the city wall collapsed. In an instant, a large number of Liao army cavalry had rushed to the front of the city wall in the rain of bullets. With the sound of "puff", cavalry kept getting shot and falling to the ground. However, these palace cavalry did not stop and rushed straight towards the gap without any hesitation. The vanguard cavalry actually rushed up along the collapsed pile of soil and fought with the Han army musketeers guarding the gap.

"The first team opened fire-" "Retreat-"

"The second team opened fire-" "Retreat-"

Du Chujiao shouted a command loudly. Relying on the wooden stakes and earth bags that were quickly arranged, more than a thousand Han army musketeers divided into five teams. Each team immediately retreated after firing the musketeers. The second team continued to come up. Originally, the musketeers received training to fight with guns and stabbed them with guns at the same time. However, in the battle to defend the city in Nanshan City, in order to get more firepower, Zhao Xingde used Xia Guo soldiers as officers and trained the musketeers in the city for five-stage shooting.

However, the collapse of the city wall was only more than ten feet long, and the firepower density of more than a thousand Han army musketeers was not enough to completely prevent the palace cavalry from approaching. Many palace cavalry rushed to the front of the city wall. Han army musketeers stabbed the guns one after another, using the musketeers as short spears, and guarded the gap without retreating. These cavalry were the pride of the Khitans. Yelu Dashi could even call out the names of each person. They risked their lives to rush through the battlefield where the shotguns flew across the battlefield, rode their horses onto the mounds, and stepped on the mounds of the Han army musketeers. After the war horses were knocked down by the musketeers, as long as the cavalry did not die, they drew out scimitars and raised their defense lines. Soon they fought with the Han army musketeers who were stabbed with the gun. On this short mound, both sides desperately chopped and assassinated each other.

"Sir, Sir,"

Xiao Tachi was woken up from his sleep. In order to seize the gap in the city wall, the 20,000 Liao troops were not allowed to return to the camp, but camped directly behind the Liao army artillery tower that was only 500 steps away from the city wall. Xiao Tachi stayed in the front peak camp himself. He had just woken up, and before his personal soldiers could answer, he asked sternly: "Is the city wall collapsed?"

"yes!"

"The vanguard battalion will all be pressed up and conquered Nanshan City without leaving any surrenders!"
