Jiang Lei waved the flag in his hand.
There was a rumble of cannons outside the west gate of Muzhou City, and the cannonballs were fired towards the Muzhou City Gate with the power of destroying everything.
The first wave of exploratory bombardments was launched.
The moment the cannon sounded, smoke and dust flew everywhere at the city gate, and screams were heard on the city wall.
At the same time, the cannon fire at the west city gate had just ended, and the thunderous cannon fire was also heard from the other three city gates, and the cannonballs also flew towards the city gates.
When the dust and smoke dispersed, Jiang Lei raised his hand slightly while looking at the dilapidated scene at the city gate with his telescope.
"The ten cannons in the middle were raised by one inch, and the muzzles moved about five inches to the east. The remaining cannons aimed at the city wall and were raised by half an inch. They fired solid bullets at the city gate and explosive shells at the city wall, three rounds and three bursts!"
"fire!"
Following Jiang Lei's order, dozens of artillery fired shells with astonishing lethality again and bombarded Muzhou City.
Liu Mingzhi stopped not far away, looking at the rumbling artillery fire at the city gate in the mirror tube and sighed slowly.
"Jiang Lei's artillery skills are getting better and better. Sixty-seven out of ten of the bombs hit important places in Muzhou City."
"Commander!"
"exist."
"Instruct the soldiers at the remaining three city gates that the sound of cannons has ended and the howling of drums has become zero, to launch a tentative siege!"
"When attacking the city, artillery, catapults, and eight-oxen crossbows cover the defenders on the city wall to prevent them from firing arrows!"
"Tell the generals that we don't carry many shields and cannot prevent the formation of shields to defend against the rain of arrows. This makes it difficult for the brothers to attack the city. After reaching the blind corner of the archers, we gradually gather at the city gate and try to reduce the casualties. to the lowest.”
"Got the order!"
"Cheng Kai!"
"The end will be here."
"Preparing to attack the city, pick out the soldiers with big yellow bows to form a team of archers to suppress the Jin guards who are shooting arrows on the city wall."
"The general will get the order!"
From time to time, amid the sound of artillery, Jin guards were blown off the city wall by artillery shells. Just after the three-round bombardment ended, the 200,000-strong army of infantry and cavalry began to attack the city.
The sound of the war drums became louder and louder, and the four armies slowly marched towards the city gate to meet the drum beats.
At the same time, the artillery and catapults and eight-oxen crossbows adjusted their angles and continued to fire at the city gate without accidentally injuring their comrades. They threw stones and fired crossbows to suppress the defenders on the city wall who were unable to show their faces to fight back. .
"General, the attack of the enemy army of Dalong was too fierce. The brothers were suppressed and could not even raise their heads to fight back."
Muzhen's blood-red eyes looked at the many brothers who had just poked their heads out and were shot through by crossbow arrows: "Instruct the shield soldiers to put their shields on the city wall, leaving a half-foot gap for the archers, and immediately start to fight back, otherwise the enemy will We are about to attack the city wall and break through it."
"Thunder rocks roll wood, gold juice is ready, start throwing at any time!"
"Got the order!"
"The general has the order, shield bearers cover, archers fight back!"
After Muzhen's generals spread the news throughout the city wall, Black Wolf Cavalry began to lead the soldiers to face the enemy under the suppression of artillery fire.
The attacking Dalong soldiers began to suffer casualties.
Liu Mingzhi's face froze as he looked at the mound of earth exposed by the cracked city gate. Unexpectedly, in a short period of time, the guards of Muzhou City packed the earth to seal the city gate.
The soldiers under his command did not slack off in preparations for siege with the siege ladder, which was as fast as the siege ladder. They could only choose to break into the city from the city gate. Closing the city gate with rammed earth would waste too much time and make the soldiers sacrifice their lives in vain.
"Send the order to the soldiers, call for gold and withdraw the troops!"
"Got the order!"
During the tea time, the sound of gold foil rang out from everywhere outside Muzhou City. Although the officers and soldiers of Dalong's Four Guards Army who were about to attack the city were puzzled, they still followed the orders and prohibited them. The front team changed to the rear team and began to slowly evacuate the Muzhou City Wall.
Under the cover of the shield bearers, the auxiliary soldiers quickly carried the comrades who were shot out of the battlefield on stretchers.
"Commander, why do you want to withdraw your troops?"
Cheng Kai walked quickly towards Young Master Liu, with a puzzled look on his face.
The soldiers are attacking the city with great momentum. If they suddenly withdraw their troops, their morale will be low.
Liu Mingzhi didn't say much and handed the telescope to Cheng Kai: "Look at the city gate."
Cheng Kai took the telescope and looked at it, his face changed with shock: "The city gate is sealed with rammed earth!"
Liu Mingzhi glanced at the scene of thick smoke billowing above the Muzhou city wall, which was blown up by artillery shells.
"We don't have a siege ladder, so we can only sneak in through the city gate. If we don't clean up the rammed earth, the soldiers who stay below the city will become living targets for the guards on the city wall."
"The general understands that we must find a way to clean up the rammed earth. Judging from the appearance of the rammed earth, it has just been sealed and a way out can be easily dug. It is not a big problem."
Liu Mingzhi slowly untied his cloak and threw it to his guards: "Our sword energy and sword energy can easily break through the rammed earth. He ordered the brothers from the other three sects to organize a team of fifty people with skills above the fifth level. Vanguard, use all your strength to break through these rammed earth."
"Artillery cover, we must not let the thundering rocks and rolling trees on the city wall hurt our brothers!"
"Got the order!"
"I will personally lead the team to break open the rammed earth at the West City Gate!"
"The other three sects will also lead the team to break through the seal."
"No...no!"
Cheng Kai subconsciously wanted to shout, but Ling instantly reacted and hurriedly shook his head and stretched out his hand to stop Liu Dashao: "Commander, you are the backbone of the soldiers of the three armies. How can you personally take risks? To put it bluntly, if you If something happened, even if you die in such a humble position, you can't explain it to your brothers."
"It's enough for Ximen to teach the junior general and Han Peng to lead the team."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Cheng Kai quietly: "A commander should take the lead. Is there anyone in the whole army who has deeper internal strength than this commander?"
"Commander, this is just some loose rammed earth. The strength of Mo General and Han Peng at the seventh level is enough, so there is no need for you to take action yourself."
"Commander, don't make it difficult for the last general. You are the backbone of the soldiers of the three armies. You must not be exposed to the slightest danger."
"This is a matter of principle, not a question of whose skill is advanced."
Liu Mingzhi pondered for a while and nodded silently: "Be careful! I will lead my brothers to raid the formation for you, and retreat immediately if there is a sudden change."
"Got the order!"
"Han Peng!"
"The general is here!"
"Assemble fifty kung fu masters above the rank of captain, and follow my general to break the seal."
"Got the order!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Cheng Kai and fifty people holding shields and flexibly waving to the figure charging towards the city gate.
"Suppress with artillery fire and buy time for the brothers!"
"Got the order!"
With the suppression of artillery fire, the defenders on the city wall began to fight the enemy powerlessly, but found that there was nothing they could do about the vanguard soldiers like Dalong!
After half a stick of incense, as the orders from the four city gates were reported, the four city gates had already broken through the rammed earth.
Liu Mingzhi looked at the dug city gate, put away his telescope, and waved the flag in his hand suddenly.
"Mount the infantry and attack the city with the whole army."
Following Young Master Liu's command, the infantry once again got on their horses and rushed toward the open city gate, brandishing their weapons.
Suddenly, the sound of a shocking and complete charge was heard in Muzhou City.
Liu Mingzhi looked at the Muzhou city wall quietly.
Finally, about half an hour later, the Jin State flag on the Muzhou city wall slowly lowered and was replaced by the Dalong Dragon Flag and the Liuzi Shuai Flag.
Liu Mingzhi knew that in half a day, Muzhou City, which was only defended by eight thousand elite troops, had been captured.
