"The whole army, be prepared. The Chu army is going to bombard the city with gunpowder. Give them some color." Xian Yu Fu shouted at the knife and was very confident.
When the order was lowered, the sound of the Chu army's war drums soared into the sky.
Dongdongdongdongdong~~
The drums rumbled like thunder, and thousands of flags flirted, forming a surging red ocean.
The nerves of the 80,000 soldiers of the Great Chu suddenly tensed up, and they all held the swords and guns in their hands, and their fighting spirit was like fire and ignited wildly.
Yan Liang was calm, looked at the city for a moment, and shouted: "All army, attack!"
Dong! Dong! Dong
The drum battle suddenly became more rapid, and the huge flag danced like the wind in the Central Military.
The emperor's will was given. Huang Zhong shouted loudly in the front military office, pointed his sword forward, and forty thousand people who captured the city broke out like the sky and the earth.
This steel army held up a large shield and attacked the enemy city, approaching the south city of Liangkou as it was everywhere.
On the top of the city, Xian Yufu sneered and shouted in a sarcastic tone: "The whole army will start to fight back, teach these Chu thieves a lesson so that they can know how powerful this general is."
The sound of war drums from the Han army suddenly arose.
On the mountain city, the Han army crossbowmen had already prepared a long time ago. When they heard the order, they shot arrows, thousands of arrows pounced on the Chu army like locusts.
The Chu army was prepared for a long time, and the large shield was raised high above, forming an airtight dome, and bounced the arrows that came like rain and rolled out.
Seeing that the arrow shot was ineffective, Xian Yufu shouted again: "Put the wood and stones to kill the enemy thief."
As the arrow fell, the rest of the Han army on the top of the city hurriedly pushed the large pieces of wood and round huge rocks down the top of the city.
The wood and huge rocks, in their condescending momentum, rolled down the hillside towards the Chu army's formation, whistling down.
"The enemy has a squat. Pay attention to avoiding!" Huang Zhong saw the situation and shouted loudly.
As he shouted, hundreds of squats and huge rocks came towards the Chu army with powerful downward momentum.
The Chu army suicide squad located at the front quickly inserted the lower end of the big shield into the ground as a barrier. The soldiers behind had already prepared wooden pillars to resist the big shield. Seven or eight people worked together to strive to
Reject forward.
Boom boom boom boom!
The huge rocks and mulberry rolling down hit the shield wall one after another. Although the power and momentum were great, they were blocked by the temporary shield wall built by the Chu army.
The Chu army was fully prepared. The first wave of stone and wood attacks by the Han army did not receive much effect, and only killed and injured the Chu army.
Although weapons such as squat and boulders are powerful, they are inconvenient to throw. After the Han army threw a wave, the second round of throwing required a short gap.
The Chu army took advantage of this short time to climb up quickly and formed a shield wall again when the second round of stone wood in the Han army was knocked down.
After such repeated recurrences and full preparation, the Chu army withstood the counterattack of the Han army, and finally climbed up the hillside and rushed to the bottom of Liangkou South City.
The army of the army covered the city wall, and more than 5,000 crossbowmen, with the cover of the big shield, quickly suppressed the Han army on the mountain city.
Tens of thousands of soldiers who climbed the city took the opportunity to erect a ladder and began to attack the enemy city.
At this point, Xian Yufu had no choice but to run back and forth on the front line of the city wall, commanding his elite Han army, and tenaciously blocking the Chu army from entering the city.
The Han army began to shoot arrows down the city frantically, throw Luo Shimu frantically, and fight back against Chu army's climb to the city.
Yan Liangyuan looked at the offensive on the city and nodded slightly: "This Xianyufu is worthy of being an experienced general. Although he is not a famous general, he is somewhat capable."
If you can get Yan Liang's recognition, Xian Yufu is indeed a bit capable.
The ten thousand Han troops he commanded were all elite troops that had followed Liu Bei for a long time. The combat effectiveness was far better than those vulnerable Goguryeo people, and even more comparable to the Chu army.
Such an extremely strong army, coupled with the terrain advantage of Liangkou City, although the Chu army has five times the siege force, judging from the current battlefield situation, it cannot gain the upper hand.
However, the Chu army's combat plan originally did not rely on hand-to-hand combat to forcibly break through Liangkou City.
Just as Huang Zhong was commanding the army to attack the city, veteran Zhang Ren was commanding another special army, and under the cover of the big shield, he began to dig holes down the mountain in Liangkou City Wall.
This is the usual tactic of the Chu army. Using siege as a cover, dig holes under the enemy city, then put the gunpowder barrels into the hole, and with a fire, it can easily blast the enemy city into a gap.
All the fierce attacks on the surface of the Chu army were actually to dig for protection.
In less than half an hour, the five-color flag of the Chu army had already been shaken under the enemy city, which was a signal that the pit had been dug.
Yan Liang did not hesitate, and raised his whip and Jiang Wei led the seven hundred tiger guards imperial guards to protect more than ten powder barrels, and rushed towards the mountain city.
Xian Yufu could see clearly what happened in the Chu army. When he saw the Chu army protecting more than a dozen wooden barrels and approaching the mountain city, he knew that the Chu army was going to use gunpowder to explode the city.
"Hmph, Yan Zhei, I know you're going to use the same trick again. I've been waiting for you for a long time." Xian Yufu snorted coldly and shouted: "Brothers, let's show our secret weapon out, it's for Chu
It's time for the thief to take the initiative."
The order was passed down, and new changes soon took place on the head of Liangkou city. Hundreds of Han soldiers shouted slogans and pushed giant trees to the top of the city.
The countless Chu soldiers under the city saw this scene. The soldiers were surprised, but they also felt that the giant trees pushed out from the enemy city seemed familiar.
On the hillside, Yan Liang also saw what happened on the city. His heroic face was not surprised at all, but instead showed a sneer, as if the changes in the enemy's city were just as he expected.
"Your Majesty, it's the water dragon cannon, that's our water dragon cannon!" Zhou Cang pointed at the enemy city and shouted in surprise.
Yan Liang smiled contemptuously: "Liu Bei, the wolf, suffered from the water dragon cannon. It seems that he has thought a lot over the years and finally figured out some results for him."
The giant trees on the top of the city are indeed the powerful tools of the Chu army's water battle, water dragon cannons.
In fact, the production process of the water dragon cannon is not complicated, far from comparable to precision weapons such as crossbows and crossbows. Moreover, the water dragon cannon is not easy to hide when it is made because of its huge size. If the enemy is determined, spend time to conduct intelligence reconnaissance.
It's not difficult either.
The battle between Liu Bei and Li Yang and Yecheng, and the battle between Liu Bei and Li Yang, had two crucial failures, and the water dragon cannon played a crucial role.
Liu Bei had enough of the pain of the water dragon cannon. After fleeing to Goguryeo, he learned from his mistakes. Over the years, he spent a lot of effort to study it and finally successfully imitated the water dragon cannon for him.
As soon as the water dragon cannon was released, Xian Yufu became even more proud, pointed his sword downward, and shouted loudly: "All the water dragon cannons will aim at the powder barrel of the Chu army and shoot hard."
Chichichi~~
Nearly thirty water dragon cannons were fired almost at the same time, shooting from different directions towards the location of Jiang Wei's gunpowder troops on the hillside.
Facing the flying water cannon, Jiang Wei and the hundreds of tiger guards were not at all ready. They were trapped in a surging water splash, mostly rushing to the ground, and some people were even washed away directly.
Go down the hillside.
People are still like this, and those dozen powder barrels were instantly soaked and useless.
Seeing the Chu armyman's embarrassing look, Xian Yufu sneered proudly: "Yan Zhei, although your gunpowder is powerful, if it is soaked in water, I will see how you can ignite it."
It turned out that over the years, in order to resist Yan Liang's conquest, Liu Bei was also closely monitoring the every move of the Chu army.
When Liu Bei heard that the Chu army used gunpowder to explode the Huguan City, he was shocked, fearing that the Chu army would use gunpowder to break through its strong mountain city in the future.
In order to deal with this threat, Liu Bei sent a detailed investigation from multiple sources. Although he did not find out how to make gunpowder, he found out that the gunpowder must be ignited with fire to explode.
Based on this information, Liu Bei and his ministers analyzed it and found that the gunpowder was afraid of water, so they decided to use water dragon cannons to crack the Chu army's gunpowder tactics.
Today, Xian Yufu finally put this carefully studied tactic into practice and succeeded. It would be strange if he was not proud of it.
"Your Majesty, our gunpowder is wet, I'm afraid we can't blow up the city anymore." Zhou Cang shouted.
Yan Liang nodded slightly: "The enemy was prepared for a long time. It is useless to attack hard. Let's stop the troops by ringing gold."
Dangdangdangdangdang~~
The sound of gold sounded quickly, and the order to withdraw troops spread throughout the four fields.
On the front line of the enemy city, although Huang Zhong and Zhang Ren were unwilling to accept it, they did not dare to disobey the will of the saints and immediately commanded the troops to retreat.
Although the Chu army's attack was frustrated, the elite of the world did not see any chaos at all. They formed a formation in an orderly manner and did not give the enemies in Liangkou City even a little opportunity to take advantage of.
The siege army of 40,000 to 50,000 retreated in part and quickly withdrew from the enemy's arrow range.
On the top of the city, when the Han army forced the Chu army to retreat, they were all excited. They waved their swords and guns and showed their power towards the retreating Chu army, as if they finally felt proud.
Xian Yufu was even more proud and laughed: "Yan Thief, Yan Thief, you are invincible in the world, but you never expected that you would be defeated by my Xian Yufu today, haha~~"
When Xian Yufu and his Han army were proud, the Chu army had already retreated.
Jiang Wei, who was soaked all over, rushed to Yan Liang and said ashamed: "I am incompetent and did not break the enemy city. Please punish him."
"The Han army was prepared for a long time. This battle is not your fault. Don't blame yourself. Get up." Yan Liang said generously.
Jiang Wei then stood up, looked at the buckets of wet gunpowder, and sighed: "I don't know how much national strength these dozen barrels of gunpowder have consumed, but unfortunately it has been ruined by the enemy thief."
"You open the powder barrel first, and it's a pity that's not too late." Yan Liang raised a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.
Jiang Wei was stunned, not understanding Yan Liang's intentions, so he quickly ordered the powder barrels to be opened.
When Jiang Wei saw the opened powder barrel clearly, a look of surprise suddenly surged on his originally gloomy face.
