On the east city wall, just now, Luo Zhang successfully lit an artillery fire and fired a round of ammunition with steel balls.
After the artillery was fired, the ammunition exploded among the Koguryo people. The Koguryo people in that area were shot and fell to the ground. A rough estimate was that there were at least a hundred people.
This is just one artillery shell. If ten artillery fire a salvo, wouldn't it mean that thousands of people can no longer fight?
As long as there are a few rounds, how can the Gaoguli people attack the city? I was afraid that no matter how many people came, they would fall under the cannon.
Luo Zhang had no choice but to use artillery. With so many soldiers fallen on the city wall, how could the city be defended? It was completely impossible to defend it. If the artillery was not used at this time, when would it be used again?
Jian'an City is a very critical place. As long as Jian'an City is occupied, it is equivalent to having a springboard to attack Gaoguli. If Jian'an City fails, although they can take it again, they will not be able to delay that long.
After being delayed for a month, they had to retreat and return to the DPRK.
You know, the winter in Goguli is colder than that in the Turkic territory. That is the Liaodong Peninsula, where water turns into ice in winter.
After a month's delay, even if they reached the Liaodong Peninsula and captured Liaodong County, they would not have time to cross the Liao River and march into Pyongyang.
Luo Zhang's shot not only frightened Cheng Yaojin and others, but for some reason it also frightened the Gaoguli people, especially the Gaoguli people here at the East City Gate. .
Seeing their companions falling to the ground for no reason, covered in blood and moaning in pain, they felt as if they had seen a ghost.
Some of them were timid and even knelt on the ground and prayed to God to calm down his anger.
In their opinion, the loud noise just now was because the gods were angry and came to punish them and warned them not to attack Jian'an City.
While everyone was looking for the source of the loud noise, Luo Zhang's order had been issued. This time it was not one artillery, but ten artillery fires.
Just listen, boom, boom, boom, ten loud noises were heard. Outside the east city wall, the Gaoguli people who were originally preparing to carry the ladder to attack the city wall suddenly fell down in large pieces.
This was just the beginning. After the second round of artillery salvos, the Gaoguli people outside the east city wall finally became afraid. Looking at the fallen Gaoguli people, it would be a lie to say that they were not afraid. I don’t know what’s going on, but my own people are falling down in large areas, so how can we fight?
Immediately, the frightened Gaoguli people retreated back one after another. No matter how their generals shouted, it was of no avail. This was really terrible. Attacking Jian'an City would actually anger the gods and make the gods punish them. Who would dare to attack? If the gods bring harm to their family, they will have no place to cry.
On the north city wall, after Luo Zhang bombarded the first round of artillery, Cheng Yaojin and others discovered the source of the loud noise.
"The east city gate is Luo Zhang's defense. What did Luo Zhang do?" Cheng Yaojin exclaimed.
But no one could answer his questions, and everyone was confused.
Before they could go to find out what happened to Luo Zhang, at the north city gate, groups of soldiers pushed the covered cannons to the city and pushed the cannons to the city wall.
Luo Yi was in charge of firing these artillery pieces. At his order, all ten artillery pieces were loaded and bombarded the Gaoguli people outside the city.
His own north city wall also made a loud noise. Cheng Yaojin and the generals almost stumbled to the ground. Although their ears were not buzzing, it was not much better.
After seeing the ten artillery pieces brought by Luo Yi, Cheng Yaojin and a group of people hurried forward to inquire.
However, Luo Yi knew little about artillery. He only knew how to fire the artillery and how to adjust the angle. As for what artillery was and why it was so powerful, he had no idea at all.
Naturally, you have to ask Luo Zhang for such a matter, but the war is still going on right now and there is no time to go to Luo Zhang. The only top priority is to deal with the Gaoguli people outside the city first.
Luo Zhang brought a total of forty artillery pieces this time, exactly ten on each city wall. After the loud noises were heard from the East City Gate and the North City Gate, deafening noises were also heard from the South City Gate and the West City Gate.
For a time, the besieging Gaoguli people outside Jian'an City had over 10,000 casualties. They had lost so much in just a moment. If they continued to attack the city, they were afraid that everyone would be killed here.
