The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 679
The flag commander of the Tianbing Battalion scratched his head in embarrassment, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Peng is a bit high on our Tianbing Battalion. The accuracy rate of throwing from the air is very low. I really can't guarantee that the thrown explosives will not hurt people." own people."

"No, no, Commander Shao misunderstood what I meant." Master Peng smiled, "What I mean is that the Tianbing Battalion does not need to throw accurately, it only needs to put pressure on the Cao army below and cause certain damage around it. There is a sharp knife hanging above Cao Jun's head. No one knows whether the explosives on his head will fall by his side. There is fear in his heart, so he has no intention of fighting. The pressure our army faces will be Much less."

"So that's the case. If that's the case, I'm willing to give it a try." Shao Qichang immediately said seriously.

Luo Yi pondered for a moment, "It's worth a try. In this case, Commander Peng, Commander Lu and Commander Shao Qi, you three will be in charge of this battle. This commander will also mobilize artillery and divisions to fight for you."

"The general obeys orders." The three of them stood up abruptly, excitedly accepting orders.In the next few days, engineers rushed to make ladders and fender vehicles in large numbers, thinking that they would be used in the siege of the city.

A few days later, outside the east of the city, more than 500 cannons were concentrated here, and the soldiers and horses of Peng Lu were also ready.

At this time, the three hot air balloons floated into the air again, and slowly floated over the city.

Wearing the leather armor of an ordinary soldier, Gan Zongwang looked up at the hot air balloon, with a trace of worry in his eyes.What will the Tianhua Army plan to do this time?
Not long after, [-] artillery pieces began to show their power, sweeping away the entire wall section on the right side of the south city.Cao Jun hid under the thick wall, listening to the booming cannon and the shaking from under his feet, he didn't dare to show half of his head at all.

At this moment, the [-] infantry division began to mobilize, pushing the baffle cart and carrying the ladder, and charged towards the city wall.

"Quick, quick counterattack!" Cao Jun's gunner quickly began to load ammunition, and after the enemy rushed into the land of one mile, he immediately blasted the shells and smashed them into the charging crowd.

Many Tianhua soldiers were hit by shells, and their flesh and blood were bloody.But more continue to move forward, and the distance is constantly shrinking.

When it is close to 300 meters from the city wall, the artillery will not be able to exert its power.The shells could only suddenly pass over their heads and fall to the rear.

"The enemy army is coming, hurry up, get on the crossbow, and prepare to fight back!"

Cao Jun's generals were forced to stand up and operate the giant crossbow tremblingly.There were roaring artillery all around, hitting the wall stacks, and the sputtered gravel was astonishingly lethal. Many Cao Jun soldiers were smashed by the gravel and screamed incessantly.

The giant crossbows shot into the city sparsely, unable to cause many casualties to the Tianhua Army.

At this moment, a group of baffled vehicles from the Tianhua Army stopped, and the soldiers removed the front baffles.A set of weapons resembling bed crossbows was revealed.

Insert a giant crossbow into the groove, and pull the trigger fiercely, and the giant crossbow flies out, falling into the inside and outside of the city wall.There was a loud bang, and dozens of giant crossbows exploded on the city wall. The entire wall was filled with smoke and flames.

Cao Jun was stunned by the huge explosion. They were 300 meters away from each other. How could the Tianhua Army use explosives?
Gan Zongwang was also taken aback. The information sent back from Tianhua suddenly appeared in his mind. When the Tianhua army inspected the army at the founding of the country, they had demonstrated a weapon called a cannonball. When it touched an obstacle, it could explode.

"Quick, order the giant crossbow to destroy those stopped carts!" Gan Zongwang immediately ordered anxiously.

However, at this time, the south wall had been completely destroyed, and the defenders suffered heavy casualties. In a short period of time, it was impossible to stop the forces from counterattacking.

Cao Jun had no choice but to rush up a group of reinforcements, while putting out the fire, while transporting new city defense weapons to deploy.At this time, the Tianhua Army had entered within 200 meters.

Just as Cao Jun hastily deployed some city defenses, another group of soldiers among the vanguard of the Tianhua Army set up small cannons on the ground.After the erection was completed, an operator forced a conical shell into the muzzle, and heard a "bang!", and the smoke filled the air.At this time, the shells roared and fell into the top of the city, and exploded on the top of the city again.Afterwards, the rest of the small cannons started firing, and the city was once again engulfed in flames.

"This, this mortar." Gan Zongwang looked at the powerful weapon under the city with a livid face, and his eyes showed fear.These weapons are too powerful, far beyond his imagination.The Tianhua army can use explosives hundreds of meters away. In the future, if the two armies confront each other, who will win in a head-to-head confrontation?

At this time, under the bombardment of artillery crossbows and mortars, there was no place to stand on the south wall, and Cao Jun was suppressed and huddled together, not daring to climb the wall again.

Gan Zongwang looked up at the big ball suspended in mid-air, and thought to himself with a gloomy face: "Since the Tianhua army can take advantage of long-range, our army can only gain the advantage in close combat. Let the Tianhua army approach the city wall, Then the opponent's artillery, crossbows, mortars and other sharp weapons will not be able to play a role. At that time, it will be time for us to counterattack."

In this way, under Cao Jun's deliberate indulgence, the Tianhua Army quickly approached the city wall.Sure enough, the artillery stopped bombarding at this time, and the giant crossbow and mortar gradually loosened up.

When the Tianhua army set up the ladder, the counterattack on the opposite side finally stopped, and countless Tianhua soldiers climbed up in a swarm.

At this time, Cao Jun finally moved, and countless people rushed to the top of the city, throwing down all the explosives, arrows, rolling stones, etc. in their hands.

The Tianhua army was suppressed by this frantic counterattack, and for a while, the momentum of the attack slowed down.

The archers in the city tried their best to stop Cao Jun's counterattack, but there were too many Cao soldiers, no matter how they tried to stop them, they couldn't be stopped.

At this moment, the hot air balloon in the sky moved.Three balloons slowly floated towards the south wall, a pack of explosives was thrown from them, and fell into the city. Then there was a loud bang, and the dense crowd was immediately emptied.Immediately afterwards, explosives were dropped on the other two hot air balloons, which exploded around the city wall.

Cao Jun looked at the explosives falling from the sky, and his heart suddenly panicked. He looked at the sky worriedly from time to time, for fear that the explosives would fall beside them.Affected by this, the strength of Cao Jun's counterattack suddenly weakened a lot.

Gan Zongwang finally understood the role of those big balls at this time, and couldn't help but curse.But facing the big ball in the sky, he has nothing to do.He had no choice but to order the soldiers not to look up at the sky, and to deal with the enemies under the city with all their strength.

But a deadly explosive will fall from the head at any time, and there is no way to ignore it.Despite Gan Zongwang's strict orders, the soldiers were still unable to concentrate on dealing with the Tianhua Army.

Finally, after a fierce fight, the Tianhua army finally climbed up the wall.As one grenade was thrown into the enemy group, a space was immediately exploded.Not to be outdone, Cao Jun threw explosives one after another to fight back.For a moment, there was an explosion on the entire city wall, and both sides suffered heavy losses.

There are too many Cao troops. Even if the troops on the other three walls are restrained, the defenders on the south wall alone exceed 4 horses.A steady stream of fresh troops continued to pour in, and for a while, the two sides were at a stalemate, making it difficult to further expand their advantages.
