The Hu people quickly set up cloud ladders, flying ladders and other siege equipment and hung them tightly on the city wall.

Similar to the city wall, the Gaojing Lan chariot was slowly pushed over, and the barbarian archers kept firing rockets to provide cover for the infantry.

These ladders themselves were extremely heavy, had hooks, and were angled so tightly against the city wall that the defenders could not push them away no matter how hard they tried.

More importantly, it is not only foldable, but also covered with cowhide, which not only prevents arrows, but also prevents fire. It is the most important siege weapon.

A barbarian centurion shouted, took a shield and a sword, and climbed up the cloud tower, followed by a group of officers such as captains.

Feng Yongcheng from the gate tower could see it clearly from above, so he took out his whistle and blew it.

A security guard lit the thunderbolt, and Huang Wei stepped on the pedal hard.

Under the rotation of the cyclone cannon, the powerful centrifugal force of Hongtianlei caused it to break away from the cyclone cannon and pass over the Eight Immortals Table.

Just as the barbarian centurion crawled to the middle of the ladder, a black object suddenly fell from the sky.

In a hurry, the barbarian centurion just raised his shield when the thing suddenly exploded with a rumble.

The barbarian and barbarian centurion saw a flash of light, followed by severe pain in his eyes, forehead, and neck.

He felt like something was penetrating into him and his body, but he didn't know it was ceramic shards.

The centurion's vision went dark, he felt top-heavy and rolled down from the cloud tower.

Not only did he fall, but a string of ten captains behind him also fell with him.

The centurion climbed the highest and fell to death on the spot. The centurion behind him was either seriously or slightly injured.

The centurion was almost crippled, if not killed by the fall, and his eyes were shot with ceramic shards, making him blind.

The centurion on the other ladder reacted very quickly and quickly raised his shield.

The thunderous thunder exploded on the shield, allowing him to escape the disaster.

He finally found a way to deal with Nanman's thunderous thunder, which was to hold the shield above his head to protect himself.

He couldn't help being overjoyed and shouted loudly: "Hold the shield above your head to protect yourself from the thunder of the southern barbarians."

Hearing the centurion's cry, the centurion behind him imitated him and hurriedly raised his shield above his head.

This news was immediately learned by the barbarians on other ladders. They all raised their shields above their heads, shouted loudly and climbed on the ladders.

The centurion was full of energy and had just climbed two more stairs when another thunderbolt fell.

But this time he was not so lucky, and the thunderous thunder exploded in the sky behind his head.

He felt as if his head had been hit hard by a hammer, and severe pain shot through his neck, arms, and back.

He suddenly felt his eyes go dark, his hands were weak, and he fell from the ladder on his head and feet.

The moment the centurion fell, his body pressed against the centurion behind him and fell with him.

Another centurion saw a black object falling from the sky and suddenly felt something bad.

He was so anxious that he pushed the object and made it move to the right.

"Boom" the thing exploded in his lower corner. Two of his men raised their shields to resist the explosion above.

The centurion was not so lucky. Pain shot through his thighs.

This was secondary. The key was that a heartbreaking pain came from his lower body.

He couldn't bear the pain anymore. He screamed and fell from the ladder.

When he fell, he hit the captain's shield below heavily.

This centurion is also a sturdy man, weighing nearly two hundred kilograms.

Bang bang, not only his shield was smashed open, but his right arm was also broken, and he rolled down with the centurion.

The Centurion and the Tenthurion rolled down together, taking advantage of the situation and taking the Tenthurion and others down the ladder.

"The attack of the Hu people on the ladders and flying ladders seems to be less fierce than before." Feng Yongcheng looked at the Hu people on the ladders and flying ladders and felt happy.

Song Fei nodded and said happily: "The Hu people were caught off guard by our tornado cannon."

"The barbarians are still behind. Jinglan's chariot and Lu's chariot have slowly moved to the city wall at this time." Tan Xing glanced at Jinglan's chariot and Lu's chariot and said worriedly.

Huang Zhizhao, Huang Wei, Lin Sheng, and Xiao Qiuhan finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from their foreheads, and drank from the water bag, taking big gulps.

Although the cyclone cannon looks simple, it requires five people to operate it, which is exactly the strength of a corps.

Moreover, the cyclone cannon cannot be forward, but must be in the back position, because the enemy fires rockets.

What Hong Tianlei fears most is rocket fire.

As long as the rocket is fired here, the thunderbolt will not hit the enemy, but will hit itself after the explosion.

This cyclone cannon is used by five people, one takes out the thunder, one lights the thunder, one places the thunder, one steps on the cyclone, and the other is an observer.

The first four people don't have any technical skills. At most, they are strong and clever.

But the observer is as much a test of skill as the craftsman.

In view of the low accuracy of the radiation in the last attack on Xi County, Zhao Ping improved the cyclone cannon and added a ruler.

Observers must come from Zhaojiazhuang Academy, because the numbers they report are often the number of degrees left, right, up and down.

They must be able to do arithmetic and calculate angles, and report the best shooting angle based on their observations.

The pedal player only needs to constantly adjust the angle and launch based on the numbers reported by the observer.

When some barbarians attacked through ladders just now, they found that they could resist the thunder from the sky with shields.

After this situation was seen by the observer on the ladder, the angle was calculated so that the blasting thunder would explode behind the barbarians on the ladder, which shocked the barbarians' arrogance.

The observer can do the work of the other four people, but the other four people often do not do the work of the observer.

Therefore, the observer is usually the corps leader, and the other four people have to be convinced.

The Hu people's attack just now was fierce. They were busy and never rested.

Huang Zhizhao and others finally had time to rest. After this battle, the Hu people they had always feared did not win so easily.

Huang Wei took a sip of water and said to Huang Zhizhao: "Father, this cyclone cannon is really powerful. The barbarians were beaten down before they could reach the city wall. Although some of the defenders were injured, there are no deaths yet."

"Don't be careless, Zhijie (Huang Weizi). There are many traitors among the Hu people now. They are helping the Hu people with suggestions, so be careful." Huang Zhizhao thought for a while and reminded his son.

Huang Wei shook his head and said in a very relaxed and cheerful tone: "The greatest strength of the Song Dynasty is to defend the city, not to attack the city. If we continue to fight like this, we will soon make achievements."

"It's just the beginning. I heard that there are many barbarians in this attack, so ammunition must be used sparingly." Huang Zhizhao reminded his son.

Huang Zhizhao and Huang Wei were originally from the Eternal Village. One of them was the village leader and the other was the young village master.

The Eternal Village was built by Huang Zhizhao and his son to be impregnable, claiming that even if the barbarians came, they would not be afraid.

What they never expected was that in less than a day, they would be easily captured by Zhao Ping's personal formation.

In the face of Zhao Ping's Cyclone Cannon and Eight Immortals Table tactics, the father and son finally understood that being impregnable was a lie.

After the Eternal Village was taken down by Zhao Ping, the father and son finally realized that only by following Zhao Ping could they truly make achievements.

Seeing the majesty of the cyclone cannon, the father and son's biggest wish is to join the cyclone cannon team.

The father and son are also considered brave and resourceful. After a period of training, they joined the cyclone cannon.

After some hard work and under the guidance of Feng Yongcheng, the father and son finally turned the one hundred original copycat soldiers they brought into cyclone artillery.

Together with the observers sent by the security group, there is a formation of people.

The father and son were originally men who had done meritorious deeds and had no chance to become officers such as formation commanders.

Yu Mohua received a letter from her father and asked him to deliver the letter to Zhao Ping.

There is a jealous lady beside Zhao Ping. This jealous lady is none other than Cuizhu.

Cuizhu was surprised at first when she heard others say she was a jealous lady, and then said: "The Nu family is originally a jealous lady, just to drive away those vixens." "

Yumohua was stunned when she saw that Cuizhu was not ashamed of it, but rather proud of it.

She thought to herself, even though you think so, you should at least act like it.

Cuizhu saw Yu Mohua's expression and asked Yu Mohua strangely: "Does my sister hope that the official will have more ladies around him?"

"How could my sister have such thoughts?" After saying this, she seemed to have turned into a jealous woman. She felt a little embarrassed and had to lower her head.

Except for Lan'er, whom Cuizhu grew up with, her best relationship is with Yu Mohua.

Xi Erniang, Wang Jiuniang, and Zhang Xiaoniang have always had a bad relationship with her.

These people look down upon Cuizhu maid's background, and more importantly, their family background is not simple.

Although Yu Mohua also has a certain background, he has always lowered his eyebrows and tried to please Cuizhu.

Cuizhu looked at the letter in her hand and couldn't help but glance at her suspiciously and asked, "What kind of letter is this?"

"This is a letter from my father, asking my sister to bring it to the officials." After saying that, she carefully showed the letter to Cuizhu for a look.

Cuizhu took a look and saw that it was indeed Yu Qishi and nodded.

She made full use of her status as a personal maid and guarded Zhao Ping very closely. Not only did she resolutely refuse those people to send women to Zhao Ping, but she also refused to send letters.

This was a letter from Yu Mohua's father. Obviously he would not recommend other young ladies to his uncle. He waved his hand and agreed to Yu Mohua's entry.

In the study, Zhao Ping was reading official documents. When he saw Yu Mohua coming in, he nodded and told her to sit down.

Zhao Ping opened it and looked at Yu Mohua. Yu Mohua said a little embarrassedly: "This is a letter from the father of the slave family."

Zhao Ping tore off the paint and opened the letter. He saw that Yu Qishi was a pleading letter, with the following content.

Huang Zhizhao and his son hated the Hu people extremely, otherwise they would not have built a mountain stronghold on Longquan Mountain, thus preventing five thousand Song people from being harmed by the Hu people.

When they came to Xixian County, one of them wanted to kill the Hu people, and the other was to make great achievements.

Zhao Ping felt a little strange, wondering why Yu Qishi wrote such a letter.

"Who is your leader Huang Village?" Zhao Ping asked curiously, looking at Yumohua.

Yu Mohua was not a fool. She immediately understood her father's intention and said sheepishly, "He is the uncle of the slave family."

Zhao Ping finally understood that Huang Zhizhao wanted to take a shortcut through Yu Qishi.

Yu Qishi couldn't explain it clearly, so he pretended to be his daughter.

Zhao Ping thought about it and found out that Huang Zhizhao and his son were originally the leader of the village and the son of the village. They were also good at martial arts and strategy.

As long as the father and son are indeed capable, Zhao Ping will not hesitate to give them a future.

"It turns out he's your uncle. It seems he's also my uncle." Zhao Ping said to Yu Mohua with a smile.

Yu Mohua was still worried because after all, this was such a disgraceful thing.

Not only did the officials help my father's brother become an official, but he also helped his brother's father-in-law get promoted. Now the family wants officials to help his uncle.

She knelt down, bowed deeply, and said happily: "Thank you, officer."

Cuizhu saw clearly from the side and snorted, then her eyes turned red and her eyes bulged out of her eyes.

They all have relatives, so why are they an orphan without relatives?

Zhao Ping hurriedly stepped forward and took her soft, slender hand, and said, "Cui Zhu, you should still have relatives. I will definitely find your relatives in the future."

"Is what the official said true?" Cuizhu's eyes shone with dazzling light.

"Of course." Zhao Ping nodded, but thought in his heart, there is only a box as a clue, how to find her relatives?

But no matter how difficult it is, her relatives must be found.

In this way, driven by Zhao Ping and with his own efforts, Huang Zhizhao finally achieved his initial goal.

Huang Zhizhao is now a formation commander of the Tornado Cannon, and his son is a Wu Shi Commander.

Even Lin Sheng, Xiao Qiuhan, and Peng Qilang, who were originally from the village, are also very good.

The soldiers of the security group stared closely at the Hu people's Lugong car and Jinglan car. Suddenly they felt a cough coming from their throats, and their breathing was a little uncomfortable.

Feng Yongcheng couldn't help being shocked and said: "No, the barbarians are using poisonous smoke."
