The glorious achievements of the navy soon spread among the military camp.
All the soldiers became excited all of a sudden. At this time, there was actually no need for any further mobilization.
The record of the navy is the best mobilization. If they don't show their name here, I'm afraid it won't take long for the boatmen to take the credit for destroying the country.
Early the next morning, the genius had just dawned.
Cui Xiushi, who had not slept all night, had just laid down when someone woke her up from her deep sleep.
"General, the Han people have begun to attack!"
"What did you say? Are you starting to attack now?"
Cui Xiushi's whole body jumped up and she jumped up from the bed.
Although their first line of defense had been built a few years ago and had undergone large-scale repairs these days, this was, after all, the first battle they had fought against the Han people in these years.
Although they had learned a lot of information about each other before, these things were just talk on paper after all.
After all, war is not a game. How this war will turn out will only be known after it is fought.
"Send the order and prepare the entire army for war!"
People were already knocking on the door, and Cui Xiushi had no choice but to fight.
"promise!"
At this time, he couldn't care less about sleeping. He quickly asked the soldiers waiting nearby to help him put on his armor, and then he made his way to the front lines of both sides.
When he arrived, 60,000 Han troops were already rushing towards their defense line in a mighty manner.
"Tell the soldiers that the time has come to serve our country with loyalty!"
Looking at the fine armors on those Han soldiers, the gleaming steel knives in their hands, and then looking at the disheveled soldiers around him, Cui Xiushi felt sad in her heart at this moment.
Apart from being loyal to his country, he really couldn't think of anything else to say.
At this time, their only advantage is the newly built rammed earth wall.
It's just that even he himself doesn't know how useful this thing can be.
"Tell the brothers in the firearms camp to let them have free reign."
Yuan Qing didn't take this rammed earth city wall seriously at all. This thing was simply vulnerable to gunpowder.
"promise!"
Following his order, the Han army immediately made way from the middle.
Dozens of strange carriages, driven by soldiers, arrived in front of the two armies' formations.
"What are they going to do?"
Cui Xiushi was stunned. She didn't quite understand what these Han troops were going to do.
The bows and arrows in their hands had a range of less than 80 steps, so looking at the Han soldiers stopped 300 steps away, Cui Xiushi couldn't figure out what these Han soldiers were going to do.
"ignition!"
A Han military captain shouted, and the Modao soldiers standing near them immediately blocked their ears.
Although the soldiers of Yan State didn't know what these veterans were doing, they quickly learned to follow their example.
"General, are they pretending to be gods? We have already reached this point. Do they still want to sacrifice to heaven? General, please agree. I will lead the army to fight."
Cui Xiushi's deputy general, Jin Xiuxian, pointed at the Han troops and said disapprovingly.
"Shut up! Watch and then talk!"
Choi Soo-sil is a cautious person by nature, and never takes credit for anything he doesn't understand.
He had also been on a mission to the Han Dynasty, and he knew something about the customs and customs of the Han Dynasty. Although the Han Dynasty had the habit of divination before going on an expedition, weren't the things they divined a little too strange?
"boom--"
"boom--"
"boom--"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately heard a thunderous sound, and then felt the city wall shaking under his feet.
"No! This is a siege weapon of the Han army."
Cui Xiushi understood it immediately, but even if he understood it now, what could he do?
The artillerymen of the Han army are still 300 steps away, and there is no way they can reach them with their bows and arrows.
"Pull the trebuchet up for me and kill them first!"
Although Cui Xiushi didn't know how the Han army made such a big noise, he was really frightened at this moment.
It was just a volley of fire, but this section of the city wall that they had placed so much emphasis on had actually begun to show large cracks.
Without this wall, what awaits them will only be a more brutal war.
Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, this city wall should not be able to stop these Han Dynasty armies, but in his heart, this city wall should be able to drag on for at least ten days and a half.
Now the war has just begun, and the city wall is already crumbling.
This huge gap was really hard for him to accept. Are these Han troops really that strong?
At this time, the only weapons he could reach the Han soldiers were the heavy trebuchets.
However, Cui Xiushi's trebuchet was still halfway there, and the Han army's trebuchet had already begun to show its power.
This time they were not firing solid projectiles, but explosive packets that were constantly smoking.
After the transformation of the weapons supervisor and the extensive use of springs, the Han army's trebuchets can now roughly determine the throwing distance.
Although it cannot be as accurate to within a few meters as the artillery of later generations, it is still possible to be accurate to more than ten meters.
The Han army's trebuchets were smaller and more convenient to operate, especially on such a large-scale battlefield.
The trebuchet can be quickly wound up by simply using livestock as power to drive the winch.
After a round of mounted fire, dozens of smoking explosive packets fell within the rammed earth city wall.
After all, this was the first time to shoot, and the Han soldiers were still relatively conservative when controlling the lead.
So much so that these explosive packets have fallen into the crowd, and the fuses have not yet been burned out.
Dozens of explosive packs only knocked down a dozen unlucky guys, not even scratching the oily skin on their bodies.
"What is this? This thing can hurt people? The Han army just likes to make these fancy things, it is better to pick up a stone."
Jin Xiuxian's words immediately made the soldiers around him burst into laughter.
After all, this was their first time facing gunpowder weapons, and it was clear that the God of Death was already standing by their side.
But they still stood there, pointing at the explosive packets thrown by the Han army one by one as if nothing had happened, and talking about the incompetence of the Han army.
"Did you smell anything? It felt like sulfur?"
Cui Xiushi finally felt that something was not quite right.
