Behind him is the little saint, and he must not be harmed in the slightest.
Without any hesitation, Huang Xiaoniu pounced on Zhao Ping.
Others couldn't help but be stunned, and then heard the sound of thunder coming from the distance: "Boom, boom, boom."
"The barbarians' iron artillery." Feng Yongcheng shouted, "Run away, run away."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a banging sound. The gate tower seemed to be continuously hit by huge rocks, shaking constantly, and the tiles on the roof began to fall down.
When Feng Yongcheng and others saw the table and the Eight Immortals table, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately stepped forward to move the Eight Immortals table: "It is the safest place under the Eight Immortals table."
Yang Yun, Zhao Yun, Cao Ke and others also moved forward to carry the cases, placed them on Zhao Ping and Huang Xiaoniu, and then placed them on the Eight Immortals table.
"The general is going to fight the barbarians." Feng Yongcheng quickly took the clairvoyant from Huang Xiaoniu, and he, Song Fei, Tan Xing, and Ran Liyuan covered their heads with their hands while rushing out of the gate with all their strength.
Yang Yun, Zhao Yun, Cao Ke and others covered their heads before running out with Feng Yongcheng and others.
Wang Guo'er, Zhao Long and Zhao Hu looked at Zhao Ping lying on the ground and were about to pounce on him.
Cao Ke looked at the creaking roof and said: "The little saint is protected by tables and cases. There is no problem. You run away."
Wang Guo'er, Zhao Long and others still wanted to hide under the Eight Immortals Table, but were pulled out by Cao Ke, Yang Yun and Zhao Yun.
"The Eight Immortals Table can hide at most two people. Run quickly." He and Yang Yun each pulled one person and ran as they spoke.
Yang Yun and Cao Ke ran out and shouted: "Save people, save people, the little saint is inside."
After saying that, they went around to find the Eight Immortals Table and the ladder, and tried to support the pillars outside the gate tower as much as possible.
When Feng Yongcheng and the others came outside, they couldn't help but be stunned. The Hu people seemed to be even crazier today than yesterday.
Tens of thousands of rockets flew from the barbarian positions, and meteor showers fell across the sky;
Dozens of returning artillery pieces abandoned the giant cottage and blasted the sky with thunder, flying towards the city gate one after another.
Hundreds of barbarian iron cannons flashed with lightning and thunder, and after black smoke emitted, hundreds of stone bullets weighing twenty to thirty kilograms flew towards Hetan Pass.
Thousands of barbarians, protected by Huihui artillery, iron artillery, and rockets, attacked them with siege equipment such as trench bridges, cloud ladders, flying ladders, Lu Gong chariots, dust chariots, crash chariots, trains, and nest chariots.
The Hu people knew that important officers were at the gate tower and the arrow tower, so the iron artillery took the lead in attacking the gate tower and the arrow tower.
After seeing the table array and gate tower fall, the iron artillery changed its target.
They then attacked the table formation, which was the biggest obstacle to the barbarians' attack on the city wall.
In order to prevent the attack of the shadowless cannon, the Hu people's returning cannons were also equipped with a protective device, which was a wooden baffle.
After the Hui people installed baffles on the Huihui artillery, the defensive power was greatly increased.
Everything has its own gains and losses. Its accuracy has been greatly reduced. Not only can it not reach the city gate, it can even blow up one's own people or the city wall.
But the Hu people didn't seem to care. There were so many of them anyway. Even if the explosion hit one of their own people, they could only blame them for their bad luck.
Even so, it is still very threatening at times, after all, it can detect the giant copycat thunder of 150 pounds.
As long as it finds out that it has reached the city wall, seven or eight table arrays will be exploded. If it is serious, the tables will be exploded on the spot.
After the explosion of the giant copycat thunder, a huge shock wave will be formed. The tight table array will be exploded instantly, and the people behind the table array will be at least slightly injured or even seriously injured.
"First destroy the return cannon and the iron artillery. The rest is a trivial matter." Feng Yongcheng said as he ran.
Song Fei nodded and said as he ran: "Now the biggest threat from the Hu people to the pass is the iron artillery and the return artillery. It will be easy to deal with it."
There are now more than twenty Shadowless Cannons at Hetan Pass, and their main target is still the return cannon.
Feng Yongcheng, Song Fei, and Ran Liyuan came to the iron cannon array. There were dozens of iron cannons (iron artillery) in front of them, and hundreds of soldiers were firing.
The Huihui artillery was three hundred paces away, further than the barbarian iron artillery.
The range of the Hu Rentie artillery is not as good as that of the security regiment, about 200 steps, and the furthest will not exceed 250 steps.
The stone bullets from the Hu's iron artillery destroyed the gate tower. The threat was greater than the returning artillery, and the iron artillery must be destroyed.
The appearance of this iron artillery is somewhat similar to the flashlight of later generations, but it is hundreds of times larger than it, about four feet long, and its caliber is about two or three inches.
What it fired was not explosives or iron bullets, but stone bullets.
It is equipped with a round stone bullet in the front, explosives in the back, and a fuse at the tail.
It can be carried on a long wooden cart, and iron chains are placed on the ground piles to prevent the reaction force of the launch.
However, since the security team was on top of the city tower, they did not install a wooden bar car, but directly erected it on the city wall.
The Hu people also had iron artillery, but there were more of them because the space was wider.
Compared with the Hu Rentie artillery, the security regiment has a longer range and greater power.
Although the Hu Rentie Artillery is not as powerful as the Security Group, it is easy to move and can easily take cover behind trees.
After the barbarians and security groups shelled each other, they learned a lot of experience.
First, they fought for a while and then retreated. Next time, they would change the place to bombard, and they also had to choose a hiding place.
Secondly, they also added a baffle in front of the iron artillery to prevent lead bullets from the shadowless cannon.
Third, they usually hide half a mile away, making it difficult for the security team to aim and fight back.
Fourth, they shelled the city wall, the table array, the archery tower, and the bed crossbow, which caused a lot of psychological pressure on the security team.
The security group's iron cannon immediately fired back. Since the Hu's iron cannon was half a mile away and covered by woods, although it was accurate, the hit rate was not high.
This made the security team appear very passive, and the table array at Chengguan was often beaten.
Although the Eight Immortals Table in the table formation was covered with steel bars and iron sheets, it would still break after a long time. The Hu people's ladders and flying ladders took the opportunity to attack. This was also the reason why Hetanguan suffered more casualties than other opponents.
After Yang Yun, Zhao Yun, and Cao Ke came out, they saw the iron artillery of the security regiment firing back.
Song Fei and Ran Liyuan also found their iron cannons and looked at Feng Yongcheng.
He has clairvoyance in his hand, and now it’s time to see it.
Feng Yongcheng held a telescope on one side and pointed half a mile away.
There were iron artillery emplacements where the barbarians were stationed, and black smoke and fire were constantly coming out.
He pointed there and yelled: "East, east, no, right, right, up, up, fire."
Song Fei, Ran Liyuan and others were overjoyed when they heard this. They adjusted the tapping angle and started to light the fuse.
"Boom, boom, boom." The security team's iron cannon roared amid the flashes of lightning and fire.
Half a mile away from the river beach, there is a small hill.
There is a forest on the hill, which is not only suitable for hiding, but also can block the lead bullets of the shadowless cannon to the greatest extent.
The barbarian iron artillery array is here, and their iron artillery is constantly emitting black smoke and fire.
Captain Tielei couldn't help laughing when he saw the gate tower suddenly collapse, and he was very happy.
"Warriors, you knocked down the Nanman Gate Tower. Each of you will be credited with one merit." Tie Lei saw that the table formation was as stable as Mount Tai and couldn't help but became furious. "Now shell the table formation and let our warriors capture Hetan Pass."
The barbarian gunner couldn't help but be overjoyed and lit the iron cannon again.
A barbarian lit the iron cannon, looked up and saw the sky in front of him, and saw a sudden rain of stone bullets.
"Run, run." He hurriedly threw down the huozhe and shouted as he ran.
Tielei, the barbarian commander, was furious. He drew his sword and slashed at him, shouting loudly: "Move, move."
"It's a hit, it's a hit." Feng Yongcheng looked through the binoculars and couldn't help but rejoiced: "Son, you too have today, where are you going this time?"
After saying that, he shouted to adjust the angle because he saw the barbarians starting to move the iron cannon.
"Boom, boom, boom." The security team's iron cannon burst into anger again.
Feng Yongcheng almost jumped up: "It's hit, it's hit, most of them are hit. The little saint's clairvoyance has made a contribution."
Under the swords of the Hu commander and his soldiers, the Hu braved the rain of stones and bullets to rescue 30% of the iron artillery.
Although 30% of the artillery was rescued, Hu Rentie's artillery and gunners suffered heavy losses.
Thirty percent of the Hu artillerymen died, 30% were seriously injured, and 30% were slightly injured. Even Tielei's left arm was seriously injured. His left arm was almost broken by the security team, and several soldiers involved in the rescue also died.
All the soldiers in the security group also shouted excitedly, and the grievances they had felt for many days were finally gone.
But their mission is not completed yet, there are still shots to be fired back.
Ma Yin, commander of Hui Hui Pao, watched Tielei's iron artillery being destroyed by the security group, shook his head and sneered.
There is also competition between the Huihui artillery and the iron artillery, but the iron artillery almost looks down on the Hui artillery.
The shells fired by the Huihui Cannon are far more powerful than those of the Iron Artillery, and their weight is almost ten times that of the Iron Artillery.
But its weaknesses are very obvious. The cannon is tall, heavy, and has poor accuracy. It often hits its own people.
Especially in the past few days, due to lack of protection, hundreds of returning artillery pieces were destroyed by the security group's shadowless artillery.
The iron artillery made great contributions in shelling the table formation and archery tower of the security regiment. The commanders and artillerymen of the iron artillery raised their tails to the sky. Some people even called the huihui artillery a living target and a dead coffin.
Iron Artillery called the Huihui Cannon this way, and the Huihui Cannon was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Once they were shouted at by iron artillery in public, but they were not convinced by the iron artillery.
The two sides disagreed and ended up fighting.
Not only were the men of both sides fighting, but the two commanders Tielei and Ma Yin also fought against the generals.
The other barbarians saw it in disbelief and hurriedly reported it to their superiors. The incident finally alerted the captain of ten thousand men.
Although Wanfu Chang Deke finally came out to stop the fight between the two parties, he took credit for the iron artillery in public.
Tie Lei and Ma Yin were also beaten with bruises and bruises, but he took the reward and looked at Ma Yin proudly.
Ma Yin looked at Tie Lei's proud look and wished he could knock the gold out of his hand.
In Ma Yin's view, if both parties record merit when they fight, isn't that just going sideways?
Now the iron artillery has suffered heavy casualties, and most of the weapons it relies on for survival have been lost.
One of the hui cannon gunners couldn't help laughing: "Why did you see a real live target today?"
"That's right, aren't these coffins?" Another Huihui gunner also laughed.
A centurion pointed at the wooden cart pulling the iron cannon, laughed loudly, and said, "Look, don't these carts look like coffins?"
As soon as he finished speaking, one of the artillery pieces was hit by dozens of stone bullets and fell apart immediately. The artilleryman was also injured or even died.
The gunners of the Huihui artillery were so frightened that they abandoned and ran away. Several were hacked to death by Ma Yin and his own soldiers, and they were forced to hold on.
The Hui Hui Cannon seemed to have answered the words of the living target, because it could not move like the iron artillery, and was beaten to pieces by the security team one after another.
"Don't be proud, it's your turn this time." Tie Lei said bitterly, his face red with anger.
After saying that, he and his men sneered, and saw that the returning artillery pieces were hit by stone bullets one by one.
"A crow's mouth." Ma Yin was so angry that he almost vomited blood, so he could only say these words bitterly, "Retreat, retreat."
Most of his gunners had already taken cover, and only a few were still firing.
Ma Yin also hurriedly retreated until he no longer saw the opponent's iron artillery shells.
He looked at the returning artillery that was still standing at 400 steps, and suddenly realized: "It turns out that the effective range of the Nanman iron artillery is less than 400 steps."
After saying that, he looked provocatively at Tie Lei who was watching the battle.
"Four hundred steps is your limit, and there is almost no accuracy. The Nanman was not killed by the explosion. He killed his own people first." Tielei's left arm was hung with a white cloth. The pain made him sweat, but his mouth was still unforgiving.
But Ma Yin did not argue with Tie Lei at this time, but asked: "Nanman has changed today. I wonder if General Tie has noticed?"
"Of course it has changed. It's all caused heavy losses." Tie Lei didn't have anything nice to say and replied angrily.
"Of course," Ma Yin thought for a moment and replied thoughtfully. "But have you ever thought about why the security team was not so powerful yesterday, but today it is so powerful, as if they have eyes."
After Ma Yin reminded him, Tie Lei looked at his remaining defeated soldiers and iron artillery, and suddenly realized: "Do they have any new weapons?"
"That's right, otherwise today would be completely different from yesterday. It's not that we don't work hard, it can only be said that Nanman is too powerful." Ma Yin looked at the broken back artillery one after another with a wry smile on his face.
Tielei and Ma Yin exchanged glances and nodded: "This is the only way to report to the Captain that the Southern Barbarians have new weapons, which will cause us heavy losses."
"Exactly, only the Chief of Ten Thousands or the Marshal can think of a way to do this." Ma Yin nodded, looking at the iron artillery and the Huihui cannon, thoughtfully.
River Beach Gate Tower.
Except for Huang Xiaoniu and Zhao Ping, everyone else has escaped.
In less than ten breaths, the gate tower finally couldn't bear the blow and finally collapsed.
The soldiers outside hurriedly opened the gate tower, and soon rescued Zhao Ping and Huang Xiaoniu from under the Eight Immortals Table.
Zhao Ping and Huang Xiaoniu were covered in dust and looked a little embarrassed.
There's just a little skin injury on the yellow calf's back, but it's nothing serious.
Zhao Ping frowned as he watched the nurse bandaging his wounds.
He thought for a while and finally asked: "How should I call you?"
