Chapter 164 The First Blast in History (Part 2)

"Let it go!" I saw an order on the high wall.

The sound of "puff" continued, whistling through the air, densely packed, falling straight down, only the sound of landing was heard, and the rolling crowds under the city were moving along the track. Although some of them fell down, they were still surging up.

The evening sunset came amid the fireworks of embers.

"The Shu army is still ordering people to fill the river?" Sun Chang's face looked bad when standing on the city tower and looking at the situation below.

"Lord, although they keep sending archers to shoot, the soldiers sent by the Shu army, with this defensive frame, are really shocking. It is really difficult to cause too much damage to the enemy. I am afraid that they will be able to fill out three passable roads in a few days."

Sun Chang said nothing. In the past three months, the Shu army had thought of many tricks to pass through this river and break through the city wall, but there was no big progress. You must know that the counterattack on Xiangyang City was not about eating vegetarian food.

Sun Chang always thought that in these three months, all the offensive strategies of the Shu army had been exhausted, but what he did not expect was that the Shu army suddenly took action more and more fiercely in the past few days.

The frequent attacks, the number of Pili cars increased significantly, and the earth dragon cars below made Sun Chang feel uneasy.

The earth dragon train is a train-like frame, each section is about ten meters, connected, with thick straw and soil layers on it. When the arrow falls, it is mostly ineffective, and people pass by below and throw them out in bags with sandbags on their backs.

"Lord, this new frame is not even afraid of pouring oil or gold juice. It's just that the huge rocks are hit, but there are not many huge rocks in the city."

"Can we send troops to attack?"

"Lord, the enemy is very alert. Besides, this kind of frame is really cheap. It can be supported by just a few beams and wooden boards, but the effect is extremely great." Even if the guard who spoke, even if he was hostile, could not help but show anger, fear, and admiration.

What you say is that this simple frame is very simple to rebuild if it is destroyed.

Sun Changning looked down and found that the earth dragon car was getting closer and closer. The exit was against the sandbag that had been added. The earth dragon car had simple wheels. When the sandbags were filled at the exit, they could push forward hard and start throwing the sandbags again.

The moat outside the city is just a river. Although it is hundreds of meters wide, it is only two to three meters deep. The sandbags thrown can be filled in quickly. If this continues, even the moat will not last long.

Sun Chang stood on the city tower and looked outside from afar.

In the Shu army camp, more than 40,000 troops surrounded Xiangyang under the leadership of Wang Hongyi.

At this time, although less than 20,000 were out, this momentum was still fearful. Sun Chang had experienced many battles and naturally had no fear of it.

However, the rapid filling of the river made his face a little gloomy.

Below the city, another group of Shu troops rushed to the moat under the cover of the earth dragon chariot and threw the filling into the river. The three river channels were gradually filled, only thirty meters away from the city wall.

"It seems that the earth dragon car has a good effect!" Wang Hongyi, who was far away in the army camp, looked at the city wall and said to himself. At the same time, fifty thunder carts kept bombarding a city wall every day, and the city wall was full of cracks. With a thousand-mile mirror, you can naturally see it clearly.

When Wang Hongyi was filling the moat, he found that the locusts that were covering the sky and the sun were shooting. Even with paper armor, the casualties of soldiers filling the river were still relatively serious. With a flash of inspiration, he invented the earth dragon chariot.

This inspiration comes from the earth tank.

The earth tank is placed on a table by a four-wheeled car, covered with quilts and poured with water. When the warrior enters the bottom of the Eight Immortals table, he will be well protected and will not be damaged by ordinary bullets.

Now, it has been modified into a dirt dragon train and adopted a train model, with hook connections in sections of carriages.

Each section of the car is made of the cutting trunk of the tree as a bracket, two meters high, with simple wooden boards nailed to the left and right, and simple wheels underneath. Thick straw and soil are added on the top, and a few layers of water will not burn.

In this way, the front is not afraid of shooting. Whether it is rockets or tiny oil, there is only one layer of wooden boards on the left and right sides, which is a bit of damage when shooting on the side. However, due to the angle, distance, wooden board protection, etc., there are actually not many shots, and even fewer arrows are shot inside, and the casualties have been reduced to less than ten%.

And even if it is destroyed in one section, the hook is broken and the intact carriage is topped up.

The staff kept going back and forth inside, and now they were protecting them and constantly throwing sandbags.

"Order the excavator to prepare!" Wang Hongyi stared at Xiangyang City and ordered.

"yes!"

In fact, in order to protect the foundation of the city wall, a few meters of foundation must be left. When the moat is filled, soil will be dug on these few meters of foundations.

With Wang Hongyi's order, a large number of excavators were waiting with shovels.

On the city tower, Sun Chang glanced at him and saw this situation.

"What's going on?" he asked with a frown: "What are these? What are the tricks?"

Apart from the moving wooden boards, he could not see the figures of the Shu army at all, which made him feel very angry.

"Hurry! Can't let them go to the city! Send arrows! Stop them!"

"Lord, these cars look thick and bows and arrows cannot hurt them!"

The personal soldiers around him kept passing the news.

Sun Chang's face was extremely blue, and he stared at the city. Many archers and arrows were heading down like rain.

Unfortunately, the Shu army still relied on the earth dragon cart and kept moving forward, filling the river channel, and coming to the city.

"What are they going to do?" Sun Chang tried hard to calm himself down and thought.

Under such a dense rain of arrows, even if the Shu army reached the city, it was impossible for them to climb up.

Moreover, no ladder was being carried over.

What kind of conspiracy did the Shu army have?

Soon a scream from a personal soldier gave him the answer.

"Lord, the moat near the south gate has been filled, and a team came from there. Ah, they were holding shovels! No! The Shu army is going to be authentic, they want to enter the city from the authentic tunnel!"

So that's it! Sun Chang suddenly understood, filled the river, and sent people to come, not climbing into the city from above, but relying on the protection of the ground dragon cart to dig the tunnel.

Sun Chang was quite confident that the walls of Xiangyang City were solid. In this case, he showed a hint of sneer.

The offensive on the city became more and more fierce. Not only were the arrows fired at once, but a batch of huge rocks were also transported and pushed down.

From time to time, huge rocks fell down, smashing the earth dragon car sent by the Shu army, but then a new earth dragon car was pushed up.

Not only one place, but three places desperately rushed to a city wall, digging a hole!

The development of the matter made Sun Chang stunned, but after experiencing the initial panic, he quickly issued an order: "Send additional personnel to monitor the tunnel, dig over and pour water, and collapse their tunnel!"

"Yes! Lord!"

The officials who were taking orders around him immediately summoned people to cause trouble for the Shu army's operations.

The Shu army closely monitored the progress.

Wang Hongyi and Zhang Youzhi stood side by side, standing on a high slope, with attendants leading their war horses, and around them were a continuous camp.

"Report!"

A personal soldier ran over and turned over and bowed to Wang Hongyi.

"Tell me." Wang Hongyi said briefly.

"Report to the Lord, the deep pit has been dug under the city, just waiting for the Lord's order!" The personal soldiers quickly reported.

"Have you dug it?"

Wang Hongyi looked at Xiangyang City in the distance and ordered: "Send the order, the thunder chariot will bomb the city wall continuously, clear out the space, and put it down through the earth dragon chariot!"

"Yes!" The personal soldiers ran away quickly and went to the camp not far away to convey Wang Hongyi's orders.

At present, a large number of Shu troops, through the earth dragon chariot, sent batches of Tao Lei to the earth pit. Almost at the same time, fifty Thunderbolt chariots showed their power almost at the same time, constantly cleaning up a city wall above.

"Boom" sounds endlessly, and people can hardly stand on this city wall.

"Zhang Qing, you said, if Sun Chang knew that Gu's plan was like this at the beginning, would he regret it?"

Zhang Youzhi replied: "Lord, he just didn't know Tao Lei's information."

Without Tao Lei, even with the earth dragon chariot and the thunder chariot, it would be unlikely that the Shu army would want to break the city wall in a short period of time.

From this point of view, Sun Chang did not underestimate his opponent. He just lacked enough information and trusted too much in Xiangyang City's defense.

Wang Hongyi said lightly: "Tao Lei can do what Pili Car cannot do. Pili Car, earth dragon car, Tao Lei is now the three magic weapons - Chengpo is here today. Can you continue to deploy street fighting?"

"I have already given orders. All the generals have been waiting for this moment for a long time, and I am looking forward to it." Zhang Youzhi said with a smile.

After a while, news came one after another, and Wang Hongyi listened carefully and made an analysis.

Zhang Youzhi said: "Even most of our generals did not know about the information sent by Tao Lei before. Sun Chang would never know about the existence of this thing, so..."

"So they won't be too alert. It seems that you and I should go there too." Wang Hongyi continued.

As long as the city wall is blasted out of the gap, the siege will turn into street fighting!

Under the protection of their personal soldiers, the two began to move towards the formation.

At this time, half an hour had passed since the beginning of transporting Tao Lei. Thousands of kilograms of Tao Lei were sent into the dug deep pit.

Since this is the first time to use Tao Lei, the defenders are not too wary of this.

"Report to the lord, thousands of kilograms of Tao Lei have been buried in. Please give the order!" The general in charge of this matter reported to Wang Hongyi.

Wang Hongyi looked at the big city in front of him coldly, without saying a word, and made a move!

ignition!

"No!" immediately responded.

At this time, the defenders on the city suddenly discovered that the Shu army that had originally gathered under the city were evacuating quickly.

"Lord, the Shu army under the city is retreating!" a guard said in surprise.

Sun Chang's face turned pale and stared at the Shu army's retreat. When he looked down on the city, he saw the crowds of people withdrawing. He suddenly felt a wave of ominousness in his heart and whispered: "What conspiracy does the Shu army have?"

Inside the earth dragon car, a fuse that cost hundreds of meters was ignited by someone. The fuse was burning crackling and rushed into the pit at an extremely fast speed.
