Gu Mu's eyes were fixed on the actions of Chen Xiao and others. Several groups of archers appeared on the tower and stood all over the edge of the tower.
Chen Xiao, who was below, tilted his head and whispered a few words to the deputy general, "Push the cannon forward, and while handling the trench, fire the cannon into the city."
"yes."
Zhao Jun moved aside on both sides, vacating a passage, and three huge metal lumps were pushed from the middle of the army to the front one after another.
There are five wheels under the base of the metal knob, so it is not too strenuous to push the three metal knobs.
The cannon was pushed forward, and the baffles in front of the wheels were knocked down to prevent the cannon from moving backward due to recoil later.
"What on earth is this?" Gu Mu looked at the three strange metal lumps with a sullen face.
When his eyes fell on the dark entrance of the cave, a little fear arose in his heart.
"Be careful."
Gu Mu held the guardrail on the tower and reminded.
However, everyone understood that since they did not know what this object was, they had no way of being careful and could only prepare themselves mentally.
Even so, when they tasted the power of this metal lump, the soldiers of Lilong Kingdom were still stunned.
Chen Xiao raised his eyelids, looked at the archers on the tower who were preparing to attack, and said loudly: "Get ready!"
The muzzle of the cannon was raised and pointed at the top of the tower. Three soldiers stuffed ammunition into the barrel of the cannon.
Behind each cannon, there was a soldier standing with a fire stick in his hand.
"put!"
Chen Xiao gave the order and the cannons fired towards Gaochang City!
At the same time, a small group of Zhao troops bent down and quickly rushed to the trench.
First, stones were used to smash out the covered trench, and then thick wooden boards were lifted up and quickly laid on them.
Gu Mu's pupils shrank slightly, and he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow!"
But Li Long's army was always a step too late. When Gu Mu opened his mouth, the Zhao army began to move towards the trench, and the ammunition fired from the cannon was about to fall on the tower.
So, before the army of the Long Kingdom let go and fired their arrows, three cannonballs had already exploded on the city tower!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Three consecutive blasts directly stunned the soldiers of Li Long Kingdom.
Before they had time to realize what had happened, their bodies and heads were separated and they became a bloody mess.
The soldiers holding bows and arrows were either frightened and let go of their hands due to the explosion, or were injured and lost strength in their hands, or were killed directly by the explosion.
The arrows were shot down densely from the tower, but they were all twisted and messy. They flew a short distance away from the tower and fell scattered on the ground.
It was able to shoot close to the Zhao army who was building wooden planks above the trench, but less than one out of ten was shot down easily, without even a single Zhao soldier being injured.
A bomb exploded directly next to Gu Mu. Before he could recover from the loud noise, a strong smell of saltpeter swept over him, and then his whole person was thrown away!
"Bang!"
Gu Mu hit the ground hard and felt severe pain all over his body.
Not only the pain caused by being hit on the ground, but also large areas of hot pain.
For a moment, Gu Mu felt nothing but pain.
He lay motionless on the ground, rolling his eyes, trying to see what was going on, but what he saw was a vast expanse of white, filled with dust and mist.
The wailing sound in my ears was endless, and the soldiers of Lilong Kingdom fled in all directions.
"General! It's been set up."
"Qiang!" Chen Xiao drew out his long knife and said with a solemn expression, "Okay!"
"Sons of the State of Zhao." The long sword reflected a sharp cold light in the sunlight. Chen Xiao's eyes were like the light of the sword. "Follow me, General, and capture Gaochang City!"
"rush!"
The Zhao *** team stepped over the two layers of wooden boards laid on the trench in an orderly manner and rushed towards Gaochang City.
For a time, cannon
The sound of fire ceased and the sound of fighting began.
This battle lasted for several hours.
Chen Xiao frowned, and the long knife was filled with blood. Even Chen Xiao's eyebrows were spattered with blood, let alone the armor on his body.
"Hold on! The army of Li Long Kingdom can no longer hold on!" Chen Xiao shouted loudly at the top of his voice.
Because the battlefield was too noisy, Chen Xiao shouted several times in a row, and his voice was hoarse.
Fortunately, Lilong's army was the first to be unable to hold on, and the remaining soldiers either fled in all directions or surrendered.
After Chen Xiao cut off the last resisting soldier with his sword, he pressed the sword against the ground with some weakness, putting most of his body strength on the sword.
The tip of the knife broke through the ground and sank deeply into the soil.
"Keep an eye on them and take over Gaochang City!"
"good!"
The soldiers of Zhao State were both exhausted and uncontrollably excited.
The last time the Lilong army attacked Mucheng, although they fought back the Lilong Kingdom, they could not pursue the Lilong Kingdom.
Because at that time, in addition to external troubles, there were also internal worries, so we had no choice but to withdraw our troops.
Now, everyone is feeling quite angry!
Chen Xiao stood there, rested for a while, and then started busy taking over the affairs of Gaochang City.
Only then did he realize how tiring it was to be the commander-in-chief.
Not only did he have to lead the troops to fight, but after the battle, he also had to arrange and handle the affairs of the city.
If you are not careful, the city that has just been captured may face the possibility of resistance from the people in the city.
By the time Chen Xiao finished dealing with it, it would be two days before Gaochang City settled down.
He was greatly relieved when he rode out of the city gate.
"General, after returning to the fortress, you should have a good rest for a day." Huang Chunhuo advised Chen Xiao when he saw that he didn't look well.
Chen Xiao didn't say whether he agreed or not, but his eyes were a little distracted and he let out a breath, "Next time, I, the general, will not be the commander-in-chief."
Huang Chunhui, who was walking next to him, glanced at Chen Xiao with a strange look on his face and whispered, "I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve what I want."
The deputy general's muttering voice was very low, but the distance between the two of them was close, and martial arts practitioners are particularly sharp-sighted. Chen Xiao listened to the voice of the deputy general next to him.
The veins on his forehead twitched twice. Chen Xiao couldn't hold back and patted Huang Chunhui's left shoulder vigorously.
"Shut up, you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xiao clamped his horse's belly and sped up and ran towards Mucheng.
When the soldiers guarding Mucheng saw Chen Xiao's figure, they were surprised, "General! The general is back!"z.br
After the capture of Gaochang City, Chen Xiao personally delivered the news to Mucheng on the same day.
The army temporarily stayed in Gaochang Town to suppress the city to prevent anyone from causing rebellion. Therefore, the soldiers and people in Mucheng only knew that they had won the battle, but they did not see their own army.
Chen Xiao nodded, held the reins, waved his whip, "Drive!"
The soldiers guarding the city quickly moved out of the way to allow Chen Xiao to move forward unimpeded.
Chen Xiao's horses had just entered the city when they were met by a soldier riding a fast horse.
When the other party saw Chen Xiao, his eyes immediately lit up, "General!"
