The city-breaking artillery bombardment on the first day lasted for two full hours.
The power of fifty city-breaking cannons was not enough to knock down the Fenyin city wall, but it was enough to ravage the entire line of the city wall until it was reduced to nothing.
In the next few days, nearly a hundred more broken artillery pieces arrived at the front line one after another, and Yan Liang began a non-stop bombardment.
From the initial bombardment of the city wall, Yan Liang ordered the adjustment of the range and expanded the bombardment range to include the city.
The rain of stones from the sky rained down mercilessly on the city, ruthlessly killing the frightened Huns, old and young.
Anyway, Yan Liang also planned to wipe out the five Xiongnu tribes. Killing them after breaking the city would be no different from killing them with stone bullets now.
Under the bombardment of stone bullets, more than 3,000 Huns were killed or injured in the city in just a few days.
The frightened Huns had no choice but to abandon their houses and tents along the city wall. Seventy or eighty thousand people crowded into a narrow area around the center of the city.
After seven days of continuous bombardment, the fighting spirit of the Fenyin Huns had been basically destroyed.
At the same time, as the siege continued, the Huns had slaughtered almost all of their thousands of cattle and sheep, and even their war horses had to begin to be slaughtered.
As a people on horseback, if they lost their horses, the Huns would lose everything. But when they were at the end of their rope, Liu Bao had no choice but to linger on.
Liu Bao was still holding on, but Yan Liang no longer planned to play with him any longer. After one month of siege, it was time to close the siege.
That morning, when the sun rose in the east, one hundred thousand Chu troops had already marched out.
Wen Chou, Zhang Liao, and Gan Ning each led 20,000 troops and assembled at the west, north, and east gates. Yan Liang himself led 40,000 elite troops. Huang Zhong was the vanguard and assembled at the south gate.
One hundred thousand Chu troops have all boarded the city. Today, Yan Liang will use all his strength to launch the final attack on Fenyin City.
Yan Liang holds a green dragon sword in his hand and sits on a red rabbit horse. He is as tall as a tower and his stern gaze is directed towards the top of the city.
Above the head, the red flag of the King of Chu is flying. Surrounding the king's flag are overwhelming flags and a forest of swords and halberds.
The rumble of the horn sounded, as if it came from hell.
Amidst the sound of the trumpet, Huang Zhong reined in his horse and advanced slowly. Twenty thousand front troops, in dozens of square formations of different sizes, slowly advanced with thundering steps, approaching two hundred steps away from the enemy city.
Immediately afterwards, giant city-busting cannons began to be slowly dragged towards the battle front.
Half an hour later, more than 300 city-breaking cannons were lined up densely on a front line that stretched hundreds of steps from west to east.
On the top of the city, the Huns' nerves were extremely tense, and the word terror was written on every ugly face.
Those are more than 300 city-breaking cannons. What a terrifying force it would be if fired in such a salvo.
Liu Bao was also stunned, gasping for air, and his legs were even trembling faintly.
Many days of violent bombings have completely shattered Liu Bao's fighting spirit. As a great Chanyu, not to mention inspiring his own soldiers, even he himself has been overwhelmed by the momentum of the Chu army.
To the point where I lost my sense of proportion.
The armies have been assembled, the sun is rising in the east, and the sky is clear. It is a good time to start a battle.
Yan Liang's blade-like eyes were filled with murderous intent. He watched the enemy for a long time, raised his whip and shouted sharply: "Blast the city!"
Wuwuwu~~
The exciting horn sounded again, and the order to bombard had been issued.
A few seconds later, the buzzing sound of tearing the air suddenly became louder, and more than 300 giant stone bullets rose into the sky, like falling stars, and rained down on the city head.
Rumble~~
Kakakaka!!
Rumbles, shattering sounds, screams, and all kinds of loud noises converged into a terrifying movement from the underworld.
At the top of the city, dust is flying, the walls are crumbling, broken limbs are flying, and blood is flying.
The soldiers of the Chu army who were fighting outside the city, even though they had witnessed the tragic scene of the battle to break the city in Luoyang, when they saw the old scene again today, everyone still gasped and was secretly shocked by it.
Yan Liang crossed his arms across his chest, admiring the magnificent scene with great interest.
The bombardment continued, and hundreds of stone bullets continued to fall towards the city, as densely as rain, without stopping for a moment.
In just half an hour, the Chu army fired nearly 10,000 boulders towards Fenyin South City.
Finally, at a certain moment, a loud noise was heard. On the left wing of the city gate, a large area of the city wall could not withstand the impact and collapsed.
In the dust that filled the sky, a gap seven to eight feet wide suddenly appeared.
Immediately afterwards, several city walls collapsed along the city line. The entire Fenyin South City was like a crumbling construction city. With just a slight push, the entire city wall could be overthrown.
The time has come, there is no need to bombard anymore.
Yan Liang raised his whip and ordered to stop shooting.
The buzzing gradually subsided, the vibrations of the heaven and earth gradually returned to calm, and the dust and mist shrouding the city head slowly fell.
Most of Fenyin's southern city line has been turned into rubbish, and the remaining Huns are lying on the rubble, struggling in fear.
Seeing the enemy's miserable appearance, the Chu soldiers in front of the formation could not restrain their bloodthirsty rage, and all of them were eager to kill.
There is nothing left to hesitate!
Yan Liang slashed forward with his long sword and said sternly: "Beat the drum, the whole army attacks"
Dong dong dong~~
The loud sound of war drums roared, and the red royal flag pointed directly at the shattered enemy city.
In front of the formation, Huang Zhong roared violently and galloped out.
Tens of thousands of soldiers from the Chu army in the front army surged towards Fenyin South City like the tide of a collapsing embankment.
On the top of the city, Liu Bao climbed up from the ruins. If Zuoyou's soldiers had not protected him with a large shield, he would have died in the violent bombardment just now.
Before Liu Bao, who was covered in gray, could take a breath, he was horrified to find that the Chu troops outside the city had surged up and climbed to the top of the city from various gaps.
"Hold on, warriors of the Great Huns, hold on to this Chanyu!" Liu Bao drew out his sword and shouted with a trembling voice.
Those surviving Huns soldiers, with their remaining thoughts of survival, climbed up from the ground and reluctantly waved their swords to fight, trying to prevent the Chu army from breaking through the city.
However, the collapsed city wall and the gaps that were broken everywhere could not be sealed at all. Hundreds of Chu army soldiers rushed up to the remaining city walls regardless of their own safety.
"Kill all the Hulu!"
"Kill!"
These passionate athletes, wielding swords and spears, mercilessly attacked the frightened Huns.
In the eyes of the Chu army officers and soldiers, the ugly heads of the Huns were just bargaining chips in exchange for merit and rewards and promotions. They only saw their eyes gleaming as they killed like demons.
In a moment, the city was covered with blood.
At the same time, the remaining three sides of Fenyin City were also shouting and killing, and Zhang Liao and other three generals also launched an attack on the city at the same time.
One hundred thousand troops attacked Fenyin together, and the momentum was so huge.
The number of Xiongnu on the front line of the southern city was less than 5,000. After the bombardment of city-breaking artillery, nearly 1,000 people were killed on the spot, and the survivors were less than 4,000.
How could four thousand Xiongnu soldiers, relying on this collapsed city wall, withstand ten times the violent attack of the Chu army?
In less than half an hour, the Xiongnu soldiers were almost dead or wounded, the city gate had been broken open, and large groups of Chu troops were rushing into the city and heading towards the city.
At the top of the city, Liu Bao was still resisting with his sword. Liu Bao, who was wounded several times, was still struggling to his death while waving his saber.
Liu Bao's stubborn resistance had already angered Huang Zhong. The veteran general gave a loud shout, drove away the troops, and charged at him with swords and arrows.
"Hugou, you still dare to dare my great Chu Tianwei, you really don't know whether to live or die."
Amidst the loud shouts, Huang Zhong jumped up, and using the force of his fall, he slashed the sword in his hand in the air, slashing Liu Bao's face straight.
In the chaotic battle, Liu Bao didn't think much and raised his saber high and tried his best to block it.
Bang~~
In the excitement of hunting, Huang Zhong flew to the ground, and the heavy knife in his hand slammed down with a huge force.
The force of this sword was so fierce that Liu Bao's martial arts skills could not stop it.
There was only a "pop" sound, Liu Bao couldn't support his feet, and Nuo Da's body was forced to his knees by the huge force.
His arms were unable to support him, and they were bent down. The frightened Liu Bao instinctively turned his head to avoid the blade that Huang Zhong was cutting on his head.
But Liu Bao avoided his head, but the force of the sword in Huang Zhong's hand did not cut it. It actually chopped his armor into pieces and cut into his shoulder bone several inches deep.
"Ah~~" Liu Bao howled like a slaughtered pig in pain that penetrated his bones.
Huang Zhong moved his right foot and kicked Liu Bao in the chest like the wind.
Liu Bao screamed again, and he fell down and flew two feet away, falling heavily to the ground. The saber in his hand also fell from his hand.
Liu Bao, who was seriously injured and almost vomiting blood, was still struggling to get up when Huang Zhong strode forward and stepped on his head hard.
"Hugou, you still dare to go against my king, you are really overestimating your own capabilities." In the midst of the curse, Huang Zhong swung his long sword down.
Blood spattered and one of Liu Bao's arms was cut off instantly.
Liu Bao was in agony and his screams were even worse than killing a pig.
Huang Zhong kicked the broken-armed Liu Bao into the wall again, and shouted coldly: "Tie this bastard up and present it to the king for disposal."
Zuoyou soldiers rushed forward, tied up Liu Bao who was screaming in pain, stepped on his broken arm, and dragged the Xiongnu chanyu down to the city.
Liu Bao was captured, and the Huns' last resistance had failed.
The five thousand Xiongnu soldiers on the front line of the southern city were all killed in the blink of an eye. Regardless of whether they surrendered or not, the Chu army would kill them without mercy.
At noon, the battle ended, the other three gates were captured, and a total of fifteen thousand Huns soldiers were killed.
The flag of Dachu was hung high on the city wall. Yan Liang rode his horse and raised his sword, stepping on the bones of the Huns, and walked into Fenyin City with his head held high.
Wen Chou rode his horse forward to greet him and shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty, we have killed all the more than 10,000 Huns soldiers, and there are more than 70,000 Huns, old, weak, women and children, all of whom have been captured. Please tell me what to do, Your Majesty."
Disposal."
"Seventy thousand Huns are a lot of people." Yan Liang sneered, his stern face filled with seriousness. (To be continued...)
