Chapter 200 Anti-aircraft guns destroy the enemy

The sun gradually climbed up the branches, and a ray of sunlight penetrated the dense treetops and fell on the city wall. The big birds looking for food did not notice the tense atmosphere here, and flew down to the top of the city one after another, flapping their wings, as if to announce their early rise. .

Cuckoo!

The sweet sound rang out, waking up the morning and the hustle and bustle of the earth.

"Launch!" A sudden shout came from the city wall, and immediately there was a "bang bang" sound, which sounded pleasant, but with a dull tone.

"Hoo ho ho!"

In an instant, the mighty shouts of soldiers rang out from the top of the city, shaking the fields and resounding in all directions, breaking the silence in the air.

Puff puff.

A muffled sound came from the mouth of the cylinder.

Phew! Phew!

The big bird on the city wall was startled, the beasts in the forest were frightened, and the whole world suddenly fell into panic.

"what happened?"

This sentence came from two places, dozens of feet away from the west gate and the south gate.

"Could it be that the military advisor issued the order to launch the artillery?" Jia Xiong guessed.

"Impossible, this is coming from the top of Xianyang City." The commander beside him responded.

He heard it very clearly, it was coming from the top of the city, and even if the military advisor issued an order, it would not be transmitted that far.

As for the muffled sound, it was too small to be caused by the military advisor's artillery.

"Then what are they going to fire? Is it also artillery?" Jia Xiong was confused and shook his head.

When Xiang Gong was practicing the firing of artillery, he said the word "launch", but there are no artillery in Xianyang, how can there be "launch"? At most, the words "defend" and "kill" are used.

He couldn't figure it out.

"Maybe they discovered our existence and just threatened us. It doesn't matter."

Uh-huh!

Jia Xiong nodded.

He focused his eyes on the top of the city, wanting to see what Xianyang was up to.

As he glanced, he saw a black dot flying out from the top of the city. It looked like a stone from a trebuchet in war, but it felt wrong. The stone from a trebuchet was large and heavy, and it didn't look that small. It can't be brisk either.

Moreover, in order to prevent sneak attacks from trebuchets, they deliberately chose to be stationed dozens of feet away.

"What's that black spot?"

Somewhat surprised, but also worried.

The commander also looked up and was very curious, but added, "Not a little, but a lot."

Um!

Jia Xiong also saw it clearly. There were about a dozen black spots, no, it seemed to be more, at least hundreds, no, more. Every time he breathed out, there were hundreds.

"There are thousands of them."

"No, these black spots are all coming towards us. Quickly order the infantry to put up their shields to resist, and everyone else should get under the shields."

Their army has infantry with weapons and shields, as well as artillery, but no cavalry or chariots. It is really difficult for cavalry and chariots to pass through the mountains and ridges from the east.

Therefore, the focus remains on infantry and artillery.

The commander immediately ordered: "Listen to my order and put up your shield to block the black spots."

The thieves also saw the black dots coming, and hurriedly put up their shields to block the attack. The artillerymen abandoned their ready-to-fire cannons and hid under the shields one after another.

"Actually, the general doesn't need to be so nervous. It's just a black spot. It's a small stone at most. It must have been the trebuchet."

"Their idea is very simple. The big rocks can't be thrown far, so they can throw small rocks to hit us. What a pity! Even if the rocks are small, how can they reach such a long distance? It's just a daydream. "

Another commander next to him looked at the black dot flying in the sky and didn't bother to say anything.

It wasn't because he was too naive. He had never seen a trebuchet with such a long range.

"Don't underestimate them." Jia Xiong was a cautious person and reprimanded him. He also felt that it was unrealistic to throw such a long distance, but he had heard about Li Zhao's powerful weapon and did not dare to overestimate it. Moreover, fifty thousand

The inexplicable demise of the army made him a little worried.

"General, you are worrying too much. Your subordinate is a member of the Zhao army and has also used trebuchets. The power of trebuchets is not that terrifying."

The commander retorted, but before he finished speaking, he saw the black dots flying towards this side. He was so shocked that he couldn't believe it, "How is this possible?"

Yes, the black spots at this moment have reached their heads, with a long tail line behind them, and the tail line is made of faint smoke.

"Quick, everyone hide under the shield." Jia Xiong was anxious. Seeing that there were still people who hadn't hidden under the shield, he shouted quickly, and he quickly hid under a shield as well.

Boom!

puff!

Thousands of black dots fell down and hit the shield, making a sound. Some of them hit the ground, making a small crater.

Although the shields were hard, many of them were shattered by such a huge impact, and those that were not broken had large cracks.

Fortunately, most of the momentum of the black spots was resolved by the shield, and some of the people who were hit only suffered minor injuries and were not seriously injured.

"Haha! Even if it can be thrown that far, so what? It still can't hurt us."

"General, since we have been discovered, simply don't wait any longer and launch an attack. Use artillery to blow open the city gates and capture the southern city in one fell swoop."

The commander just now, after panicking, realized that everyone was fine and said arrogantly to Jia Xiong.

Yes, the artillery they brought has a fierce attack power. It is said that the range is more than a hundred feet. This place is dozens of feet away from the city wall, which is enough to reach the city wall.

Jia Xiong did not respond. He looked at the black dots that were still falling, and his eyes fell on one of them. This thing was only as big as a clasped hand, made of iron, and had a tail trailing behind it, and the tail was smoking.

His brows furrowed.

He had never seen anything like this before, and it gave people an ominous feeling.

It's just ominous.

Suddenly, the smoking iron ball not far away suddenly made a loud noise, and the fire shot into the sky. The surrounding trees collapsed inexplicably, and the soldiers behind the shields nearby were inexplicably thrown away, and they all vomited blood and fell to the ground.

, unconscious.

Jia Xiong and the other three were also hit by the intense heat wave and fell to the ground suddenly.

"what happened?"

As soon as he finished speaking, this phenomenon happened again in dozens of places. Large areas of soldiers fell to the ground, blood spurted out, and there was a constant roar, like a flash flood.

"What's going on? What on earth is that?" Jia Xiong panicked and shouted loudly, but no one answered him.

"General. This thing can hurt people. Move quickly." A commander next to him was hit in the chest by debris. He covered the pain and fell with blood.

Bang bang!

Continuous explosions!

Smoke and dust are flying.

There were several loud sounds beside him, and the commander directly received the lunch box, and his limbs were separated.

Jia Xiong also felt a pain in his leg. It turned out that there was blood oozing out, and he was also injured by debris.

"Who can tell me what this is?"

He could no longer suppress his fear, and his face turned extremely pale.

"General, leave quickly. This thing is a terrifying thing. It will fall if touched. Don't stay here for long. Leave quickly." Although one of the commanders was alive, he was also injured and dragged Jia Xiong away.

Jia Xiong dared to stay there, and staggered back while shouting: "Retreat, retreat quickly, stay away from this place."

After saying this, the thieves who had been frightened and overwhelmed seemed to have grasped the life-saving straw and retreated one after another.

"Don't leave the artillery behind, take it with you too."

Jia Xiong saw dozens of their siege weapons abandoned and shouted orders.

Bang bang bang!

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of artillery pieces were blown up. The powerful fire shot into the sky, igniting dead branches and leaves. They fell one after another and ignited the fallen leaves on the ground. In an instant, the nearby area was on fire, and inside, boxes of gunpowder were piled up.

and projectiles.

In an instant, boom! The gunpowder exploded, and the flames shot into the sky and burned many people.

On the city wall.

Zhang Han was horrified and excited when he saw this scene with a telescope.

It was so powerful. One cannonball dropped and it destroyed dozens of bandit troops. Especially those who were surrounded by a group of people, all of them were killed in one shot. It was really satisfying.
