Three days passed quickly, and the weather got colder.
Both sides know that this stalemate will not last long and the balance will be broken at any time.
However, both sides have different thoughts and are making their own calculations.
Just today, a team of troops came secretly from the Dazhou Military Camp and delivered ten carts with giant black tubes.
As soon as these things were delivered, Bai Yutian took Xiao Lijingzhao and a group of people outside to welcome the arrival of these things.
At the same time, these things were sent to an open and secluded place.
At the foot of the vast Tiantai Mountain, this kind of place is hard to find.
"Your Majesty, are these the artillery pieces you are talking about?" Jing Zhao and others looked at these artillery pieces with curiosity on their faces. Even Yuncheng's eyes were full of curiosity.
"That's right!" Bai Yutian nodded, with a smile on his face.
Jing Zhao and others looked carefully, but they didn't see anything surprising. It was just a pipe, although it was very thick and heavy, but it could have any special effect.
Bai Yutian called Li Zhengkang over. Since these people were confused, he would show them the power of this weapon.
At present, artillery has just been developed, and the number of shells is still very small. Each one is very precious, and every one is used less.
Therefore, Bai Yutian simply ordered Li Zhengkang to aim the artillery at a Shannu camp in Tiantai Mountain.
Shan Nu also quickly discovered the strangeness of Bai Yutian and others, but they did not dare to attack rashly and could only report the news.
"A big black pipe?" Cui Shou said loudly in surprise, with a look of confusion on his face.
He looked at the generals below. They all looked at each other and didn't understand what Zhou meant.
Since he didn't know why, Cui Shou simply stopped caring about it.
As for attacking Bai Yutian, Cui Shou didn't have the courage. Now, they just want to wait for reinforcements to arrive.
At the same time, under Bai Yutian's order, Li Zhengkang and others also aimed their artillery in one direction of Tiantai Mountain.
After that, Li Zhengkang began to load the ammunition, and then asked everyone to step back while he personally lit the fuse behind the artillery.
In order to hit the target better, Bai Yutian and others also moved forward a little.
It's just that Shan Nu has always been in a defensive posture. When Bai Yutian and others approached, they just stayed on guard and had no intention of attacking.
"Boom!" Not long after, a loud noise came from the open space, which was deafening and almost shattered everyone's eardrums.
At the same time, a black energy rushed out from the artillery, taking on a spherical shape and hitting the Shanu camp rapidly.
Immediately afterwards, there was another loud noise, and a place on Tiantai Mountain exploded, affecting several miles around, causing the place to shake suddenly, like an earthquake.
It also blew up several feet of soil, mixed with blood and severed limbs.
There were many Shannu soldiers on guard in this place. When the cannon went off, most of them were blown away, and blood and severed limbs were spread all over the ground.
Jing Zhao and others stared blankly at the scene in front of them. A small cannon had such huge power. It was like thunder coming to the world, and it struck down all at once.
Not only Jing Zhao and others were shocked, but even the survivors of Shanu were shocked, staring blankly at the hell scene in front of them.
With just one artillery fire, dozens of people were killed and hundreds of people were injured. The power was astonishing.
"Let the armies of the Zhou Dynasty prepare for the attack. Xiao Li, you immediately arrange a team of people to familiarize themselves with the artillery and use the artillery. Pay attention to the position of the artillery and the army of the Zhou Dynasty, so as not to accidentally injure your own people."
The Zhou army has been in a state of preparation since early this morning, ready to go, and can launch an attack with just one order.
After experiencing the previous victory, it can be said that the morale of the current soldiers has reached its peak, and their confidence is gradually increasing, and they have completely lost their fear of Shanu's army.
When they heard that they were going to attack the mountain, these soldiers rushed up like crazy and attacked Shanu.
After the initial shock, Shanu finally reacted and organized a defense.
Behind the Zhou army, ten artillery pieces were also brought up.
The Shanu army hid behind rocks and trees, but the artillery fire was so powerful that it destroyed all the rocks and trees.
The gravel even became a weapon for snatching away Shannu soldiers, causing considerable casualties to the nearby Shannu.
Shanu looked at this terrifying and unfamiliar monster, completely gave up on resisting, retreated all the way, and fled to the top of the mountain.
Because Dazhou carried artillery, his overall marching speed was relatively slow, but his steps were steady and powerful, forcing Shanu back step by step.
The news quickly reached Cui Shou's ears. In fact, even without the news, Cui Shou and others knew that something bad was going on. From the first shock, they knew that Dazhou was going to attack.
Even after hearing the description of the power of the artillery by their subordinates, Cui Shou and others were dumbfounded. When had they ever heard of such a terrifying weapon? It could cause Shan Nu to lose money from a long distance without even touching it.
Tragic and unable to move forward.
Hearing this, Cui Shou and others almost lost the confidence to resist.
However, Cui Shou was a character after all, and was one of the ten heroes of Shanu. He quickly calmed down, stabilized his mentality, and made the army more dispersed. He completely integrated into the mountains and forests, causing the Zhou army to lose its target.
Bai Yutian and others had long expected this result. When they saw that these Shan Nu were becoming more scattered, they did not take care of them. Instead, they rushed straight to the mountain peak and towards the location where Cui Shou and others were.
Moreover, after Xiao Li's intensive research in the past few days, he invented a brand-new military formation specifically designed to deal with this complex mountain and forest environment.
This kind of military formation is based on nine people forming a square formation. It combines many square formations and can change into several formations at will to deal with attacks from various angles.
This is Xiao Li's first time using military formation, and the effect of fighting Shan Nu is obvious.
Moreover, the Shan Nu army in front could not stop Bai Yutian's advance at all. Artillery opened the way, thunder destroyed the world, and there was a loud bang, and the Shan Nu collapsed and fled.
Finally, Bai Yutian and others saw the camp where Cui Shou and others were. This was the second time Bai Yutian met Cui Shou. Every time they met, Cui Shou was pushed into very dangerous situations.
This time the situation is even more dangerous than the last time. Last time there was at least a way to go, but this time there is no way to escape.
All the roads that can go down the mountain have been blocked by Bai Yutian's people.
"At this moment, the only option is to fight to the death." Cui Shou shouted angrily, already having a death wish in his heart.
He never thought that he would be forced to this point.
Behind him, Shi Chen, Cui Zian and others also looked determined. The matter had reached this point and could not be undone at all.
"Commander, we may not have no chance now. If we break out from the left, we still have a chance to break out." Cui Zian gently reminded Cui Shou.
