Chapter 595 Hulao Pass Collapses

Under Yuan Tan's restraint, Wang Yu quickly captured Li Yang, and Ji Ling was beheaded by Long Li, the deputy general, in the midst of the chaos.

The engineering battalion quickly landed, and immediately began to lay the railway. Subsequent supplies were also transported to Liyang on the south bank through the navy, and hoarded.On the second day, Wang Yubu marched mightily towards Yecheng.

At the same time, at Hulao Pass, Chen Heng's siege battalion had already set up the thunderbolt cannon.Ten heavy catapults were ready to be thrown, and the catapults were also put in place one after another.

The soldiers had already woken up from their dreams, and many old soldiers had gotten used to these big winds and waves, and slept soundly.Some recruits were a little panicked, tossing and turning all night, unable to sleep.

"Get ready for the enemy's surprise attack, and the siege battalion will start throwing stones!" Seeing that the soldiers had assembled, Li Ming formally issued an order.As the order was issued, the soldiers also made preparations one after another.

"Throwing stones!" Chen Heng shouted, and the Thunderbolt Cannon immediately carried out its first test firing at Hulao Pass.However, for the siege battalion, there is actually no need for test firing. They already know where the specific landing point is.

Under the requirements of the assembly line and standardization, the damaged parts can be replaced immediately, and the production cost is reduced. Therefore, Chen Heng asked them to contact the stone throwers frequently, and even stipulated how many stones must be thrown in a day to complete the training.For the soldiers of the siege battalion, whether it is the eight-ox crossbow or the catapult, they have already been played with by them.Many soldiers now feel a little sick when they see the eight-ox crossbow and the catapult. They are really drilled hard.

The stones were quickly thrown towards the city wall. The soldiers did not choose the city gate. After all, according to the order above, this checkpoint was to be destroyed, so there was no need to waste time on the city gate.

They have already aimed at the weakest part of the city wall. I remember that during the previous training, Li Ming even asked people to build many structures similar to the city wall, and asked them to smash them to see where they were more likely to collapse.

The stone bomb hit the city wall directly, and the bombardment several times in a row made the city wall continue to howl.Looking at the trembling but helpless enemy soldiers on the city wall, the soldiers of the siege battalion felt a sense of relief... It seemed that the sufferings suffered these days were not in vain.

"The second round of stone throwing, get ready!" Chen Heng nodded, watching from the side for a long time, he knew very well that the soldiers of the siege battalion had dropped the stone bullets at the most ideal place.However, he didn't praise them, lest they be proud, he just ordered silently.

The sling arm was quickly bent, and immediately there were soldiers loading stone bullets into the sling pocket.The soldiers made final adjustments to the shooting angles, and following Chen Heng's order, the stone bullets were shot out again.

What is amazing is that the second landing point is exactly the same as the first one, and there is not even a slight deviation.

After being bombarded several times in a row, cracks finally appeared on the originally solid city wall, but it was only at the angle of the city wall that they obviously didn't notice it.However, Chen Heng, who already had an artifact like a telescope, could see clearly.

"Very good, prepare for the third stone throwing, and blow Hulao Pass down in one breath!" Chen Heng nodded and shouted back.

"Here!" The soldiers were immediately full of energy, and quickly began to prepare for the third throwing of stones.You must know that in daily training, it is not easy to get a compliment from Chen Heng.

"Your Majesty, we have to go down the city wall...the situation is not right!" Shen Ye suddenly realized something and shouted hastily.Liu Ting was taken aback when he heard this, and then went down the tower under the cover of the guards.

"Third stone throwing, throw!" Chen Heng gave the order for the third time, and the Thunderbolt Cannon made the third throw.The landing points were exactly the same three times. The city wall that had already had cracks couldn't hold it anymore this time, and a large piece of wall bricks and composite soil were smashed down.

"Do it again, completely destroy it!" Chen Heng had already seen that the entire Hulao Pass was already crumbling, and he turned around and shouted again. The soldiers below did not dare to neglect, and quickly began to prepare.

"The whole army, get ready for the assault!" Li Ming shouted, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and Zhang Mo were ready for the assault.

"The fourth throwing stone, throw!" Chen Heng gave the order for the fourth time, and the Thunderbolt Cannon made the fourth throw.The landing point this time is still exactly the same as before, and the stone bomb was directly embedded in the earth wall, causing a burst of dust.

Even Hulao Pass, which was second only to Hangu Pass, could not bear it at this moment and collapsed.Fortunately, Liu Ting quickly got down the city wall under Shen Ye's suggestion, otherwise it would be hard to say what would have happened.

"It's hard to imagine that although Hulao Pass is not the most powerful pass in the world like Hangu Pass, it was built with great effort by the big man... In the past, this mighty pass stopped the princes from attacking Dong Zhuo, but I didn't expect it to be so vulnerable now. !" Liu Ting covered his mouth and nose, now with the collapse of the Hulao pass, hundreds of meters around are shrouded in dust.

"Now...ahem...the biggest problem is that they have such a powerful siege weapon. I am afraid that Hangu Pass and even Chang'an City will be difficult to resist...cough...we must build a stronger one in the future. The city wall can only destroy their siege equipment before the other party uses it... Cough cough!" Shen Ye said while coughing.

Not to mention Liu Ting at this moment, Lu Bu, who was watching everything happening, was also in a very complicated mood.

"Your Majesty, why don't you configure a batch of such catapults for your ministers?" Lu Bu immediately complained. If he had such a configuration in the past, Hulaoguan would be able to kill them directly. , losing streak?

"General Lu..." Zhang Mo knew that the atmosphere was embarrassing, and hurried forward, "The thunderbolt gun was only developed at the beginning of this year. First, it was equipped for the siege battalion to operate skillfully, and there was also a test to see if there was room for improvement. Until the last It was finalized only a month ago, so it has not been equipped for each army."

"Hmph..." Lu Bu didn't say anything anymore after hearing the words, but he never had a good look at Zhang Mo.

"Your Majesty, Hulao Pass has collapsed, should we continue throwing stones into the pass?" Chen Heng stepped forward and asked.

"Continue, three rounds of throwing stones, let's see if they plan to be quail, or they will come over!" Li Ming said with great interest, since Hulao Pass is gone, he wants to see how Liu Ting and the others plan to defend.

It has to be said that the collapsed ruins are still an obstacle, but compared to the previous height, this obstacle is really nothing, at most it is not convenient for the cavalry to raid.

"Here!" Chen Heng didn't talk nonsense, and immediately turned around to arrange, and the soldiers immediately began to adjust the angle after receiving the order.

"Cast!" Chen Heng shouted, and the stone bullet was thrown out again.The difference is that the stone bombs the size of a pumpkin were used before, but now they are fist-sized stones. Ten catapults threw these stones out, and immediately turned into a shower of meteors, directly hitting the enemy's position. down.

After three consecutive bombardments, there was no movement on the other side. Li Ming originally thought that Liu Ting had taken someone away.Unexpectedly, when the dust settled, a series of earthen walls were exposed.Liu Ting actually used jade talismans to directly create several earthen walls, just to block and avoid the stones falling from the sky. This behavior can be summed up as 'luxury'.

 Don’t use artillery or guns, this is the bottom line of the Three Kingdoms, or in other words, except after the Ming Dynasty, using guns and artillery is somewhat…
