This is a weapon they have never seen before. Although it is not heavy, it is much more complicated than a bow and arrow.

It not only has a long and narrow box, but also has a mechanism that can be pulled.

"Have you heard of the miniature bed crossbow?" Wu Chun did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

Solangeji and others couldn't help but stared dumbfounded and looked at the weapon in their hands repeatedly.

Solangeji couldn't believe his ears: "Is this the miniature bed crossbow that frightened the rebels?"

"Exactly. It can hold ten crossbow arrows at one time. To fire, just pull the mechanism below. After firing, re-open the bow and load the arrows. Not only is the speed faster than the bow and arrow, but it is also much more powerful." Wu Chun said. As he spoke, he unstrung the crossbow string for the miniature bed crossbow and loaded it with crossbow arrows. "You follow me and learn how to use it."

"No." Solangdeji, Tsering Rigzin and others agreed while watching Wu Chun and learning to nock the crossbow.

Wu Chun continued to demonstrate and explain: "Although it is equivalent to a three-stone hard bow, it saves most of the effort and does not need to be supported by the hand. It is also easier to aim than a bow and arrow, because it can be aimed easily without effort. It is easier to launch. , just trigger the engine and that’s it.”

Jiancun Pingcuo was Lu Gongche's newly promoted centurion. He looked at the city wall repeatedly.

He rubbed his eyes and was overjoyed to see that only two bare pillars of the majestic winch hammer were left.

Not only that, the two Eight Immortals tables in the table array were also smashed to pieces by their sharp cone hammers.

"Kill the city wall and get a thousand taels of gold." Jiancun Pingcuo held a shield in one hand and a broadsword in the other, quickly passed through the wooden planks and rushed towards the city wall.

Of course the rebels behind him also saw it. The winch and hammer were missing, and the table array was smashed, waiting for them to occupy.

The gold is on the wall, the gold is right in front of you.

The rebels also followed, holding shields and swords, and rushed towards the city wall desperately.

A dark object flew over and emitted black smoke. Jiancun Pingcuo knew it was thunder.

He smiled coldly and swung his shield towards it. This was the method he came up with to deal with it, and it worked well.

Boom, the firearm exploded, but it didn't hit him because it fell under the board and finally exploded in the air under the board.

Jiancun Pingcuo stepped on the city wall, kicked open the already tattered Eight Immortals Table, waved his shield and held a broadsword, and rushed in cautiously.

He has a shield and is not afraid of others' cold arrows.

He has a big sword and is not afraid of sneak attacks.

He was strong and had armor, so he dared to rush forward.

Seeing that there was no one to stop him, Jiancun Pingcuo was overjoyed. He stepped forward and rushed towards the city wall with both feet.

Bang bang, I felt a loud noise not far ahead.

Jiancun Pingcuo looked up and saw a dark round thing in front of him. It had a palm-sized hole and black smoke coming out.

But what he didn't see was that a stone the size of a fist had been shot directly at his head.

Jiancun Phuntsok only felt a heavy blow to his head, severe pain came to his brain, and then the world was spinning.

He fell to the ground with a thud and soon fell unconscious into endless darkness.

Solangeji and others couldn't bear it anymore and vomited all of a sudden.

They could see clearly that a firearm from the security team opened fire, and a stone the size of a fist suddenly appeared.

This stone directly hit Jiancun Pingcuo's forehead. His Tianling Cap was immediately lifted, and the fishy white brain juice splattered everywhere. He immediately vomited out all the food he had eaten the previous night.

Horrible, honestly so terrifying.

They had heard about scars as large as a bowl if the head fell off, and about skinning to make magic weapons.

But they had neither heard nor seen the scene before them.

It's really shocking. It turns out that war is so cruel and disgusting.

"This is a life-and-death war," Wu Chun stepped forward and patted their chests.

The voice expressed comfort: "If they rush in, it will be your heads that fall off."

When a group of bad guys heard this, they agreed and felt better.

War is inherently a killing game, and everyone dies anyway, but the method of death is different.

Solangeji and others were originally worried about the rebel attack, but now they saw that the security group had extremely powerful firearms, and they suddenly felt relieved.

He felt better in his heart, then remembered something and asked quietly: "Master, what kind of weapon is this that is so powerful?"

"This is an iron cannon. It can bend city walls and even hit people." Wu Chun didn't want to answer at first, but he thought that the rebels had not yet posed a fatal threat, so he took the time to answer.

The person who fired the cannon was none other than Wang Qing, the commander of the fourth formation.

He fired the first shot just now and it must hit.

This was a test for him, but it had to be done.

The rebels have already stormed the city wall, which is a blow to Party B's morale.

In order to improve morale, he had to fire the first shot himself.

The reason why his first shot was so accurate was that in addition to the close distance, he also kidnapped the clairvoyant from above.

Through his clairvoyance, he could clearly see every move of the rebels who climbed the city wall.

One characteristic of iron cannon is that it is very powerful, but it takes a long time to prepare. After shooting, you have to refill the gunpowder and prepare a cup of tea for about a while.

Hearing the centurion scream, he knew that something bad had happened to the centurion.

The expressions of the two people changed, and it turned out that the Han people had already prepared.

The deputy centurion and the two chiefs behind looked at each other, and the deputy centurion suddenly had an idea.

He said to the two chiefs: "We will protect each other. I will protect the front, and you will protect the two sides. This way we won't be afraid of sneak attacks by the Han people."

"No." The two chiefs agreed, thinking it was reasonable, and immediately came to both sides of the deputy centurion.

The deputy centurion's shield was held in front, and two long shields protected the sides.

The three of them shouted, waved their swords, encouraged each other, and marched towards the city wall.

The deputy centurion's face showed excitement and confidence.

The three of them are all very strong, otherwise they would not be able to rush ahead.

Seeing that the formation commander Wang Qing was still preparing gunpowder and three more generals came in to attack, Solangeji and others couldn't help but become worried.

Bang bang, bang bang, three more cannons went off.

The frontal shot was naturally aimed at the rebel's forehead, and another rebel's head splashed open like a watermelon.

The front is easy to fight, but the rebels on the two sides are difficult to fight.

Not only were they moving sideways, they were also extremely fast.

Bang bang, bang bang, chief clerk Liu Yishou and deputy commander Li Yuan also opened fire with their iron cannons.

They did not hit the rebels on the forehead, but on their shields.

The two rebels felt a heavy blow from the boulder. Not only did their wooden shields break, they also turned half of their bodies involuntarily.

The impact force from the shield was transmitted to the arm, almost breaking it.

Their bodies felt as if they had been struck by a shield, the pain in their ribs and abdomen was unbearable, and tears flowed out involuntarily.

But the two rebels were still tenacious and rushed towards the security group with swords in their hands.

"Launch." Wu Chun gave the order, but he didn't expect that Sonamdeji and Tsering Rigzen were still hesitating.

At this time, the miniature crossbows in the hands of Wu Chun and Wang Min shot out, hitting the chests of the two rebels.

Since the distance was extremely close, less than three feet between the two sides, most of the crossbow arrows had already entered the opponent's body.

The two rebels screamed, unable to believe themselves, then dropped their weapons, covered the crossbows with both hands, and slowly fell down.

The rebels outside heard the screams of three rebels holding shields, and knew that the warriors inside had been killed.

The Han people were indeed well-defended, but they were only one step away from success.

The table array has been breached by them, and the winch and hammer have also been burned down.

The only thing to do now is to capture the city wall.

As long as they capture the city wall, they can get a thousand taels of gold.

In front of Golden Thousand Liang, no one can resist its temptation.

The three chiefs looked at each other, and one of them said: "If we wave our spears, we won't be afraid of sneak attacks."

"Swinging is fine, but how to attack?" A commander thought for a while and asked.

The chief made a quick decision and said in a deep voice, "I'll charge forward, and you two will protect both sides."

As far as one side is concerned, the front side has the highest risk, followed by both sides.

But since it was him who proposed it, of course he took the initiative to rush to the front.

Of course, this can only be said to be relative.

After all, inside the city wall, the people who entered have died, and no rebel knows the specific situation.

After the three chiefs negotiated, they roared, each waved their spears, and rushed in together.

Seeing three more chiefs rushing in, Solangeji and others were frightened again.

Their worries were not unreasonable. The iron cannons of the formation commander, deputy commander, and chief clerk had just been fired and were now being filled with gunpowder.

Bang bang, a cannon fired.

What surprised Solangeji was that the cannon was not an iron cannon because it did not fire rocks.

They had just seen the power of the iron cannon. Not only could it break a person's skull, but Meng Tie's shield could also be shattered into pieces.

But now there is a very powerful iron cannon that is not in use. Instead, a less powerful firearm is used.

Sonamdeji and Tsering Rigzin, the Chapa officers, felt anger burning in their hearts.

If they were Han people, they would definitely grab the iron cannon and fire at the rebels.

But they are a bunch of bad guys and don't understand how to use firearms at all.

Thinking of this, they drew their swords and prepared for the worst.

Just as Solangeji and others were thinking about this, the three rebels let out a scream.

The three of them threw away the spears in their hands, screamed while holding their heads, and kept rolling on the ground of the city wall.

Especially the rebel who was attacking from the front, desperately grabbing his eyes with both hands, shouting miserably: "My eyes, my eyes."

"Master, what happened to these three rebels?" Solangeji asked in shock and fear.

Wu Chun looked at the three rebels who were still rolling on the ground, felt sympathy in his heart, and said lightly: "They were hit in the head and body by iron sand, and one was hit in the eye."

"Master, what kind of weapon is this and how powerful is it?" Solangeji did not expect that this weapon was more powerful than the one just now.

The one just now could only hit one person, but this one knocked down three rebels.

Although Wu Chun's tone was calm, Solangeji could also hear his pride: "This is a shadowless cannon. Because the iron sand it emits is difficult to see with the naked eye, it is called a shadowless cannon."

"The security team is indeed the heavenly soldiers and generals of Manjusri Bodhisattva." Solangeji and others clasped their hands and bowed in the direction of Chengdu.

At this time, a soldier from the security group ran over panting, and saluted Wang Qing with his hands raised: "Commander Wang, two more winch hammers are about to burn out."

When Solangeji and others heard this, they were suddenly shocked.

"Ziyu, Zijin, I'll leave the other two loopholes to you. I'll defend here." Now that there were more and more loopholes in the table formation, Wang Qing had to break up and make arrangements with the chief clerk and deputy commander.

The two of them bowed their hands, agreed, and left with their troops.

In the rebel position in front of the city wall, Captain Deji Phuntsok felt that he had never felt so good.

The city wall was under their continuous attack, and ten winches and sledgehammers had been burned by them.

"Congratulations, general, the Han table formation is finished." Jie Ding looked at the city wall and bowed to Deji Phuntsok.

"Your plan is good." Deji Phuntsok saw it and couldn't help laughing: "Han people, the city is about to be broken."

today. Now I officially appoint you as military advisor. "

After saying that, Deji Phuntsok patted Jie Ding on the shoulder again.

In his opinion, Jieding should be grateful.

Unexpectedly, Jie Ding's face was pale and his body was shaky.

He helped the horse beside him to prevent himself from falling.

Jieding saluted Deji Phuntsok with a wry smile on his face: "Thank you, General. General, please don't pat the student's shoulder next time. The student is indeed weak."

"You are weak. I happen to have Cordyceps. I will supplement it for you and your body will get better." Seeing that he was about to succeed, Deji Phuntsog rewarded Jieding with the Cordyceps that he had been reluctant to part with.

I had been trying to expose the slanderous Cordyceps for a long time, but I didn’t expect Deji Phuntsog to finally agree.

His body has always been weak, but he heard that Cordyceps was very effective from a Tibetan doctor. He had been thinking about Cordyceps for a long time, hoping to make up for it.

Although Deji Phuntsok was happy, some people were not too happy.

This person is none other than his master Laga.

Lajia looked at the pile of corpses in front of the city wall and said in a very serious tone: "Ziwen, I lost almost three thousand soldiers and horses to destroy the ten winches and hammers of the Han people and break through their table formation. Is it worth it?"

"Master, you should be happy. The Dharma King lost five thousand soldiers and horses. As a result, he failed to break through the Han table formation, but had to retreat. From this point of view, the master's results are far better than the Dharma King, and he has gained great prestige in Tubo. ." Jinshi knew that he felt sorry for the soldiers and horses, so he picked them up and said.

Lajia still shook his head: "Of course I know this, but my soldiers and horses are not as good as the King of France."

After saying this, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Every loss must be a gain. My master, although you have lost a small number of soldiers and horses, your prestige cannot be bought with soldiers and horses." Jinshi said solemnly after hearing that Laga was still heartbroken about the soldiers and horses.

"Although the Dharma King also lost more troops and horses, his troops and horses are still higher than mine." Lajia became worried. "Now that I have surpassed him in battle record, isn't it that I have become a thorn in his side?"

"Master, no matter whether your results exceed him or not, you have already become a thorn in his side. This is determined by your strength." Jinshi hurriedly comforted La Jia.

Lajia thought for a while and continued to smile bitterly: "I was originally not as strong as him, but now my results exceed him. This is a dilemma."

"Master, what's the dilemma? It's a rare opportunity. Why don't you take advantage of the surge in morale to capture Qingtang City in one go and unify Tibet." Seeing Lajia worrying about gains and losses, Jinshi cheered him up directly.

Lajia smiled bitterly and shook his head, then sighed again: "Things have reached this point, and it's too late to regret. We can only go all the way until dark."

On the mountain, the Dharma King’s base camp.

"Lajia wants to take over Qingtang City, let's see if Lao Ne agrees." Seeing that Lajia actually broke through the security group's table formation, Jialuo couldn't hold on any longer and stood up from his seat.

The captains of ten thousand, Dele and Quli, and the heavy cavalry commander Ciji were overjoyed. The opportunity finally came.

The three subordinates looked at each other, bowed to Jialuo, and said excitedly: "Please give the order to the Dharma King."

"Dele, Qu Li, you lead your own troops and attack from the city wall and the city gate respectively." Jia Luo smashed the tea cup and gave an order loudly.

The two of them were extremely happy, and neither of them knew how to pick up the missing items.

Zhaojiazhuang's table array has been breached, and now it's time to add insult to injury.

Zhaojiazhuang is already struggling to deal with the Lajia soldiers and horses. Now that they have a group of fresh troops, Qingtang City will be destroyed.

Unlike the tired soldiers and horses who had fought in Laga for several days and nights, they were fully rested.

The mantis stalks the cicada, followed by the oriole.

They are the oriole of Tubo, the ones who truly laugh in the end.

As long as they attack, they will be the first to break the city.

No matter how powerful Raga is, he is just a dowry for others.

Dele and Quli were extremely happy, while Ciji was extremely painful.

Ciji heard that without him,

Unhappiness was evident on his face.

Jialuo looked at him and said in a deep voice: "You were just waiting for an opportunity to leave. Lao Ne's life is still with you."
