My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 1373 National War IX

Jiang Lei gently waved the command flag in his hand.

There was a rumbling sound of artillery shells outside the west gate of Muzhou City, and the shells shot towards the gate of Muzhou City with the power to destroy everything.

The first wave of tentative shelling was launched.

The moment the cannon sounded, gunpowder smoke rose from the city gate, dust flew up, and screams rang out from the city wall.

At the same time, the sound of the cannons at the west gate had just ended, and thunderous cannons were also heard from the other three gates, and the shells also flew towards the gates.

As the dust and smoke dissipated, Jiang Lei held up the binoculars and looked at the dilapidated scene at the city gate and slightly raised his hand.

"The ten cannons in the middle are raised by one inch, and the muzzles are moved about five inches to the east. The rest of the cannons are aimed at the city wall and adjusted by half a foot. The solid bullets at the city gate and the flowering bullets on the city wall are fired three times in three bursts!"

"fire!"

Following Jiang Lei's order, dozens of artillery shells fired shockingly lethal shells towards Muzhou City again.

Liu Mingzhi stopped not far away, looking at the scene of the rumbling gunfire at the city gate in the mirror tube, and let out a sigh of relief.

"Jiang Lei's ability to fire artillery is getting better and better. Six to seven out of ten shells landed on important places in Muzhou City."

"The messenger!"

"exist."

"Order the soldiers at the other three city gates to stop the sound of cannons and the howling of drums to zero, and launch a tentative siege!"

"When besieging the city, artillery, catapults, and eight-ox 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 we can't stop the shield array to guard against the rain of arrows. It will make it difficult for the brothers to attack the city. After reaching the blind corner of the archers, they will gradually gather at the city gate to minimize casualties. to the bottom."

"Order!"

"Cheng Kai!"

"The end is here."

"Prepare to attack the city, pick out the big yellow bow soldiers to form a team of archers, and suppress the Jin Kingdom defenders shooting arrows on the city wall."

"The end will be ordered!"

From time to time, amidst the sound of cannons, guards of the Kingdom of Jin were blown out of the city wall by shells. The three-shot and three-shot bombardment had just ended, and the 20 army of infantry and cavalry began to attack the city.

The sound of the war drums became more and more heavy, and the army of the four sects slowly moved towards the city gate to meet the drumbeat.

At the same time, the artillery, the catapult and the eight-ox crossbow adjusted their angles, and continued to fire at the city gate without accidentally injuring their comrades, throwing stones, firing crossbow arrows to suppress the defenders on the city wall, unable to show their heads and fight back. .

"General, the attack of Dalong's enemy army is too fierce, and the brothers are so suppressed that they can't reach out and fight back."

Mu Zhen's bloody eyes looked at many brothers who had been pierced by crossbow arrows just as they poked their heads out: "Order the shield soldiers to place their shields on the city wall, revealing a gap of half a foot for the archers, and immediately start fighting back, otherwise the enemy will die." We are going to attack below the city wall and break into the city."

"Thunderstone rolls wood, golden juice is ready, start throwing at any time!"

"Order!"

"The general has an order, the shield hand covers, and the archer fights back!"

After the generals of Muzhen spread the word across the city wall, the Black Wolf Riders began to lead the soldiers to meet the enemy under the suppression of artillery fire.

The attacking dragon soldiers began to suffer casualties.

Liu Mingzhi's expression froze as he looked at the mound of dirt exposed by the cracked city gate. Unexpectedly, within a short period of time, the guards of Muzhou City rammed earth to seal the city gate.

The soldiers under his command did not slack off the speed-consuming siege preparations of the siege ladder, so they could only choose to break into the city through the city gate. Sealing the city gate with rammed earth would delay too much time and make the soldiers sacrifice their lives in vain.

"Soldier, Ming Jin retreats!"

"Order!"

During the time of cupping tea, the sound of gold foil resounded from everywhere outside Muzhou City. Although the soldiers of the Dalong Four Guards Army who were about to attack the city were puzzled, they still ordered and prohibited them. The front team changed to the rear team and began to slowly withdraw from the Muzhou city wall.

Under the cover of the shield hand, the auxiliary soldiers quickly transported the comrade who was hit by the arrow out of the battlefield on a pallet.

"Marshal, why did you call for money to withdraw?"

Cheng Kai walked quickly towards First Young Master Liu with a puzzled look on his face.

The momentum of the soldiers attacking the city is fierce, and the sudden retreat of the troops will lower the morale.

Liu Mingzhi didn't say much, and handed the binoculars to Cheng Kai: "Look at the city gate."

Cheng Kai took the binoculars and looked at it, his face changed in surprise: "The gate of the city is sealed with rammed earth!"

Liu Mingzhi glanced at the scene of thick smoke billowing above the city wall of Muzhou, which was blown out by shells.

"We don't have a siege ladder, so we can only rush in from 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 by the appearance of the rammed earth, it is easy to dig a way out after it has just been sealed. It is not a big problem."

Liu Mingzhi slowly eased off the cloak and threw it to the guards: "Our sword energy and sword energy can easily break through these rammed earth, and order the brothers in the other three sects to organize a team of 50 vanguards with skills above the fifth rank Team, break through the rammed earth with all your strength."

"As the cover of the artillery, we must not let the thunder, rocks and logs on the city wall hurt the brothers!"

"Order!"

"The commander of the West City Gate will personally lead the team to break open the rammed earth!"

"The other three gates are also led by the master to break through Kaifeng soil."

"No way!"

Cheng Kai subconsciously wanted to shout, so that Ling reacted instantly and hurriedly shook his head and stretched out his hand to stop Young Master Liu: "Marshal, you are the backbone of the soldiers of the three armies, how can you take risks yourself? To put it bluntly, if you go out Even if you die in a humble position, you won’t be able to explain to your brothers.”

"It is enough for Ximen to teach the last general and Han Peng to lead the team."

Liu Mingzhi looked at Cheng Kai quietly: "A handsome man should take the lead. Is there anyone in the army who has more internal strength than this commander?"

"Marshal, this is just some loose rammed earth. General and Han Peng's seventh-rank strength is enough, and there is no need for you to do it yourself."

"Marshal, don't make it difficult for the last general. You are the backbone of the soldiers of the three armies, and you can't come out of any danger."

"This is a matter of principle, not someone's skill."

Liu Mingzhi pondered for a while and nodded silently: "Be careful! This commander leads the brothers to sweep the formation for you, and retreat immediately if there is a sudden change."

"Order!"

"Han Peng!"

"The end is here!"

"Arrange [-] kung fu masters above the school lieutenant, and follow this general to break the Kaifeng soil."

"Order!"

Liu Mingzhi looked at Cheng Kai and 50 people holding up shields, and gently waved to the figure who was attacking the city gate with a flexible figure.

"Suppression of artillery fire, buy time for the brothers!"

"Order!"

With the suppression of the artillery fire, the defenders on the city wall began to face the enemy weakly, but found that they couldn't help the vanguard soldiers like Dalong!

Half a stick of incense time, following the report of the order from the four city gates, the four city gates have been broken open and rammed earth.

Liu Mingzhi looked at the dug city gate and put away the binoculars, and suddenly waved the command flag in his hand.

"The infantry mounted their horses, and the whole army attacked the city."

Following Young Master Liu's commander-in-chief, the infantry once again got on their horses and charged towards the wide-open city gate brandishing their weapons.

All of a sudden, there was a shocking and thorough charge in Muzhou City.

Liu Mingzhi quietly looked at the city wall of Muzhou.

Finally, about half an hour later, the banner of the Kingdom of Jin on the city wall of Muzhou was slowly lowered, and replaced with the banner of the Great Dragon and the Flag of Liu Zishuai.

Liu Mingzhi knew that in half a day, Muzhou City, which was defended by only [-] elites, had already fallen.
