Gao Wu Da Xia: The fox demon lady at the beginning

Chapter 105 Siege Weapons
Until now, many people can't help but tremble when they think of yesterday's battle. The salvo of the New Army's Musketeer Battalion, like the scythe of death, ruthlessly harvested their lives.

The defenders of Wanren City really didn't want to face Han Chufan's new army, but they had no choice.

After they escaped back to Wanren City, they were captured by Naqu Liang, the newly appointed general of Wanren City, and asked them, the cowards who escaped, to perform meritorious service and defend the city wall.

These soldiers of Wanren City despised in their hearts, "Damn it, you said I was a coward. Seeing the army defeated, you and the city lord ran faster than us. When I started to run away, you guys had already He ran away without a trace.

You bastard, you still have the nerve to call me a coward. You are even more of a coward. If you hadn't seen you as a general, I would have punched you to death, you bastard. "

Most of the defenders guarded the city wall reluctantly, fearful of Han Chufan's new army.

If they had the choice, they would never choose to fight Han Chufan's new army again, and they would run as far as they could.

It's a pity that they have no choice but to follow the orders of the city lord and the area liang, and use weapons of different standards to defend the city.

"I should have known that following Tu Rui and the others would not return to Wanren City, but would hide in a remote tribal grassland.

This was good, he escaped back to Wanren City, was captured again, and defended the city, continuing to fight against these demons. "

A barbarian warrior from Wanren City complained.

After the army was defeated, he ran away with his friends. His friends told him not to return to the city and that it would be safer to flee directly to the distant tribe.

But he didn't listen, because he still had a lot of money in his family, as well as the human slaves who had been looted before.

Because he was reluctant to part with the money and slaves, he chose to return to Wanren City, thinking of taking the money and slaves before taking refuge in a distant tribe.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he escaped back to Wanren City, the city lord of Wanren City closed the city gate. Later, he was captured by Qu Liang and asked him to defend the city with meritorious deeds.

"You really shouldn't be greedy. It's better now. These red devils are coming to attack the city. It's still unclear whether you can survive." The barbarian soldier said to himself regretfully.

"We, the warriors of Wanren City, don't be afraid. We have tall city walls. It is impossible for this group of human troops to break through Wanren City."

The Lord of Wanren City shouted loudly to boost the morale of the trembling barbarian soldiers.

"Barbarians of Wanren City, our Master Han said that as long as you open the city gate and surrender, we will give you a way to survive.

If you don't surrender now, the day the city is broken will be the day the city is massacred. "

A scout from the New Army rode a war horse to the front of Wanren City and shouted loudly.

If the barbarians in Wanren City could surrender voluntarily, unnecessary casualties could be avoided. Han Chufan would not mind giving some of them a way to survive.

"Bring the bow and arrow." The Lord of Wanren City shouted.

The soldiers around him brought heavy bows, and the Lord of Wanren City, a warrior at the peak of the Body Refining Realm, fully drew the bow and shot at the new army's sentinel.

The arrow flew past the scout's scalp, frightening him into a cold sweat, and hurried towards the new army's camp.

"We, Wanren City, will never surrender. We will attack the city if we can." The Lord of Wanren City shouted loudly.

"Since they choose to seek death, let's attack the city and bring our secret weapon up," Han Chufan said.

The walls of Wanren City are very high. If you really try to attack the city with ladders, many people will be killed or injured.

Han Chufan dragged out his secret weapon, a new type of artillery that was successfully forged not long ago.

There are artillery in Daxia, but the artillery in Daxia's army has a very short range and very little power, similar to the squatting tiger cannon of later generations.It's not very useful when attacking a city, but it's somewhat useful when defending.

In addition, Daxia advocates personal force, and the updating and iteration of artillery has long stopped. It is rare to see artillery in the army.

With the efforts of Liu San and Liu Cui, a new type of artillery was finally developed not long ago, which is very powerful.

The huge projectiles fired by artillery can break through city gates. A certain number of artillery can even break through city walls. It is a powerful weapon for siege.

Before Han Chufan went on the expedition, he brought four new cannons that had just been made.

It has not been used before, just to stay here during the siege and give Wanren City a fatal blow.

"Zhang Yuan, pull out those four cannons for me." Han Chufan shouted, where is my Italian cannon?Pull them out and kill these idiots.

"It's your lord." Zhang Yuan personally led the people and dragged the four artillery pieces to the front line.

The Artillery Corps was temporarily assigned to the Artillery Battalion, and Han Chufan planned to establish a separate Artillery Battalion after the artillery team expanded in the future.

Zhang Yuan personally calibrated these four artillery pieces. He was the first group of people to participate in artillery training and the most proficient in using artillery.

Zhang Yuan has always been very interested in firearms. When he saw this new artillery, he couldn't put it down and took the initiative to participate in artillery training.

The new bronze artillery has a range of one mile and can attack cities from a safe distance. The effective killing range of bows and arrows is only more than 50 steps, which is not a threat to the artillery at all.

"Why don't these red devils attack? Are they just bluffing and don't dare to attack our Wanren City?"

"The walls of our Wanren City are high and steep. Many people will definitely die if we try to attack them. I guess the red demons also have concerns and don't dare to attack the city."

"It's okay not to attack the city, damn it, these red demons are too scary."

The barbarians on the city wall saw that Han Chufan's new army had not made any movement to attack the city, and they discussed happily.

They believed that Han Chufan's new army did not dare to attack easily in the face of the high and steep Wanren City wall.

"What's going on with this group of humans? Why haven't they made any move to attack the city?" the Lord of Wanren City asked in confusion.

It stands to reason that if you want to conquer a large city like Wanren City, you must prepare sufficient ladders to climb up the city tower, or have a large siege vehicle to break open the city gate before you have a chance to enter the city.

But now the human army on the opposite side is very strange. I haven't seen any of their siege weapons. I don't know what they are thinking.

"If you want to attack our Wanren City, you will suffer heavy losses. Maybe the human army gave up the idea of ​​attacking after seeing the walls of our Wanren City."

"I hope so." The Lord of Wanren City whispered.

In the new army's camp, the firing angle of the artillery has been adjusted, aiming at the gate of Wanren City.

This first generation of new artillery has limited power, and four artillery pieces are not enough to break through the thick Wanren City wall.

But there was no problem with four artillery salvos blasting through the wooden gates of Wanren City.

"Sir, the artillery has been debugged." Zhang Yuan shouted.
