Chapter 2122 Too many shells anyway

The deafening loud noise covered all the sounds, and Zhu Rong lowered his head and covered his ears tightly. She couldn't hear Zhuge Liang's words at all.

There was really no way, Zhuge Liang pushed her.

After being pushed by Zhuge Liang, Zhu Rong realized that someone was talking to him.

Seeing Zhuge Liang, Zhu Rong covered his ears and asked loudly: "What do you mean by Mr. Kong Ming?"

The two were very close, and Zhuge Liang heard her shout.

After making a gesture, Zhuge Liang signaled her to put down her ear-covered hand.

As soon as he let go of his hands, Zhu Rong was stunned by the sound of bombardment.

Pointing to the direction of the city gate, Zhuge Liang shouted: "The Wei army's cannons are all aiming at our city gate. I'm sure they want to blow up the city gate. The king must send someone to hurry over and block the city gate."

"What are you using to block it!" Zhu Rong asked shouted.

"Let the warriors gather there and prepare to fight with the enemy." Zhuge Liang replied: "They exploded the city gate to rush in through the city gate."

"Okay!" Zhu Rong replied, pulling off the hand that brought the cave owner next to him, covering his ears: "Go quickly, bring enough warriors and block the city gate. Once the city gate is blown up by cannons, immediately prepare to fight the enemy rushing in!"

The owner of the cave agreed and stood up and ran away quickly.

All the artillery of the Wei army was aimed at the city gate.

The city gates were bombed one after another by shells, and shattered with a loud bang.

Behind the artillery array, Huang Zhong saw the city gate being exploded from afar and shouted: "Send the order, stop the artillery fire!"

The guard behind him ran quickly to the officer who was commanding the cannon firing.

Because the cannon fired too loudly, the guard could only shout to the officer: "General Huang has an order to stop the artillery attack immediately!"

After receiving the order to stop the shelling, the officer waved the flag and conveyed the order.

After a moment, the cannons stopped one after another.

The muzzle of each cannon is still emitting green smoke.

The barrels of several cannons were burned red because they even fired too many shells.

The sound of cannons stopped, and Lu Xun, who was by Cao Shuo, said, "Does General Huang plan to attack the city?"

"If he attacked the city now, he would be too stupid." Pointing to the Jiaozhi City Wall, Cao Shu said: "It just blasted open the city gate and did not cause too much damage to the enemy. Once our soldiers attacked the city, as long as the enemy intercepted the city gate, the barbarians on the top of the city could calmly shoot our army with arrows."

"If you can't attack the city, do you have to hit another round?" Lu Xun asked.

"More than one round." Cao Shu curled his lips: "I did tell him last night that he could launch an attack by exploding the city gate. But I also said another sentence to him, that is, there are so many shells that can flatten the entire Jiaozhi City. As the main general, if I were Huang Hansheng, I would never let the soldiers die too early, but wait until the gunbore cools down and another round of artillery attacks!"

"How many shells do you have to be used?" Lu Xun smiled and shook his head: "General Huang doesn't know how to save for his lord."

"What I really need to save is not the artillery shells." Cao Shu said: "What I want to save is the lives of the soldiers. If I take them to fight and kill the enemy, I have to find ways to make more soldiers go back alive. Since we have cannons and enough shells, why should we worry about how many artillery shells were used and let the soldiers rush up to die in vain?"

After hearing what Cao Shu said, Lu Xun probably understood what he meant.

Cao Shu didn't care about how many shells he used or how much money and food he consumed. What he cared most was exactly how many soldiers would die on the battlefield and would never return to his hometown.

The lord has such a mind. If he follows him to fight south and north, who else would refuse to serve his life with all his heart?

Sure enough, the cannon sound ended, and Huang Zhong did not order the soldiers to attack, but waited until the cannon chamber cooled down and ordered the cannon to fire again.

This time, their shelling target was no longer just the city gate, but the barbarians on the top of the city.

With the loud bang, shells roared towards the city.

The barbarians who had previously been hiding behind battlements would not be hit by shells, and soon discovered that even if they were hiding, the shells would still be found on their heads.

Jiaozhi City screamed in tears, and shells fell to the top of the city or flew into the city. Many barbarians were blown to the point where they were flesh and blood and shattered.

After a day of shelling, Huang Zhong ordered someone to keep an eye on the open Jiaozhi City Gate, and he came to Cao Shuo.

"The city gate has been opened, why didn't Han Sheng kill into the city?" Huang Zhong came to him and Cao Shu asked him.

"Although the city gate has been opened, if the soldiers rushed forward, they will definitely be entangled with the barbarians." Huang Zhong replied: "At that time, the barbarians will shoot arrows from the head of the city, and our army will die. I plan to bombard the city for two more days, and it will not be too late to attack again after the city wall is blown up to pieces."

"Aren't you afraid that Zhurong and Zhuge Liang will run away?" Cao Shuo asked.

"They can't run away." Huang Zhong replied: "The barbarians' horses are short and they can't run away from our cavalry at all. It's easier to chase them."

"As long as you don't let them run away, I'll use the shells at will." Cao Shu said: "Actually, I guessed that you wouldn't let the soldiers take risks. If you were the kind of general who was not safe in the soldiers, I wouldn't let you lead troops to attack the city."

Looking at Jiaozhi City, Cao Shu continued: "I want you to make a difference in this battle. As a classic example, I will learn from the generals."

"My lord said this, but I'm so proud." Huang Zhong replied.

Cao Shu and Huang Zhong talked about siege, and spoke in an understatement, as if they were talking about something like playing chess at home.

On the top of Jiaozhi City, Zhurong and Zhuge Liang had a hard time.

The shelling had stopped and the smoke had long since receded, and they could still smell the strong smell of gunpowder.

Except for the first round of artillery attacks, the Wei army's subsequent artillery attacks were all aimed at the city wall.

Occasionally, a few will fly over the top of the city.

The barbarians led by the cave master were waiting behind the city gate and prepared to fight the Wei army.

The shells falling from the sky fell into the crowd and exploded in the place where the barbarians were most concentrated.

Although some barbarians have experienced bombing of shells, they have not summarized ways to avoid shells.

The shells fell into the crowd, and countless barbarians were pushed up by the explosion of air waves.

Before they flew, they were still live barbarian warriors.

After landing, it either became a broken corpse or had fewer arms or legs. It fell to the ground and kept rolling and wailing.

After the shelling was over, there was a mess everywhere on the top of the city and not far from the city wall.
