Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 107 1 Leyang City Attack and Defense

"Haha, I've been waiting for several days, just waiting for this moment."

When the order was passed to Zhang Wen, the captain of the Paoying Camp, Zhang Wen finally laughed.

He was originally a supervisor of the cannon casting workshop of the military factory. This time he brought a group of gunners to support Leyang City urgently.

There were not many cannons transported to Leyang City this time, only a dozen or so.

But in Zhang Wen's opinion, a dozen artillery pieces are enough to deal with these siege vehicles.

After receiving Cao Hong's order to attack, Zhang Wen even operated a cannon himself.

Charge, reload, then tool to measure distance, then aim.

boom!
There was a deafening shelling sound.

The next moment, a chain bomb was quickly discharged, spinning towards a siege ladder 200 meters away.

"Hit."

The next moment, there was a burst of cheers on the city wall.

A siege ladder in the distance was immediately broken up after being hit by a chain bullet, and it was obviously useless.

A man who looked like a general was also watching by the cannon. Seeing that the cannon hit the ladder, he immediately said, "I didn't expect to hit it with one shot."

"Just kidding, at such a short distance, and after aiming for a long time, how could it miss." A gunner said.

As the first cannon fired, a dozen other cannons on the city wall also fired one after another.

Some of these cannons hit the siege vehicles, some missed them, and some even hit the people pushing the carts, causing heavy casualties to the people pushing the carts.

On the other side, on a watchtower, Gongsun Kang saw the roar of the city wall not far away, and then his siege vehicle was smashed by a frame, which made him open his mouth in shock.

"This, this, this, what is this?"

Compared with Ma Chao in Guanzhong, Sun Quan in Jiangnan, Gongsun Kang is the third warlord of the Three Kingdoms to see the power of artillery.

Like everyone else, Gongsun Kang was stunned as soon as the artillery attacked.

Under the city wall, as the artillery continued to fire, more and more siege vehicles were hit by artillery shells and fell apart.

Many people pushing carts abandoned their carts and ran away when they saw the power of the artillery.

Terrible, terrifying!

This is the thought that haunts everyone.

Many people were frightened by the power of the artillery, and they began to run away in a panic.

Although if we really wanted to count, the artillery did not actually kill many people, but the sound of the artillery firing and the power of the shells hitting the siege vehicles or hitting people frightened them.

First one ran away alone, and then the people nearby saw someone running away, and immediately followed suit.

In the end, it was like a herd effect, all the soldiers pushing the carts ran away frantically, and then left the siege carts in place.

With the continuous firing of guns on the city wall, the gunners became more and more accurate in attacking the siege vehicles. More than 100 siege vehicles were destroyed in just a few rounds of shooting.

"The people pushing the carts in front have all fled. I'm afraid we won't be able to keep our siege carts. How can this be good?"

Seeing the siege equipment being destroyed, all the generals on Gongsun Kang's side showed anxious expressions.

"My lord, we can't let them continue to destroy the siege engines, or we won't be able to attack the city." Someone said anxiously to Gongsun Kang.

"Then what should we do? The enemy has weapons capable of destroying siege vehicles." Gongsun Kang said a little discouraged.

"Princess, the news of our attack on Youzhou may have reached Cao Cao's ears. If it takes a few more months, we will be passive when Cao Cao's reinforcements arrive." Someone said to Gongsun Kang.

"Then what should we do?" Gongsun Kang was a little annoyed.

"My lord, for the current plan, we can only forcibly attack the city. Let the supervising team go up. Anyone who dares to take a step back will be killed on the spot." A general suggested to Gongsun Kang.

In the past few days, Gongsun Kang has not only prepared hundreds of siege engines, he has also prepared a large number of ordinary siege ladders.

It is the kind of TV that leans against the wall and then the soldiers climb up. This kind of ordinary siege ladder is mostly used with large siege equipment, which can quickly invest more troops to attack the city wall.

Hearing the words of his generals, Gongsun Kang thought about it, finally nodded, and said: "Pass my order, attack the city with all your strength, whoever dares to take a step back, behead!"

dong dong dong dong dong!

The fierce battle drums sounded, and soon, there was a sky-shattering shout in Gongsun Kang's army formation.

Outside the three walls of Leyang City, countless Liaodong soldiers rushed towards Leyang City like waves of ants.

Under the remaining siege vehicles, more strong men gathered again, and they slowly approached the city wall pushing the siege vehicles.

The number of people attacking the city this time was almost 5. If Leyang City was not too small and the city wall was not long enough, Gongsun Kang could have invested more troops.

"Don't worry about the attackers, the Artillery Battalion will continue to attack the city." Cao Hong shouted on the city wall.

"Bows and crossbows are ready! Zhentianlei is ready! Sword and shield soldiers are ready."

Amid the deafening shouts, the distance between the two sides got closer and closer.

Just when the Liaodong soldiers reached a distance of more than 200 meters, Gongsun Kang issued the order again.

"Crossbow arrows thrown."

As the order was issued, countless crossbow arrows shot towards the dense siege crowd in the distance like rain.

Dododododododo!

This is the sound of crossbow arrows hitting wooden shields.

Puff puff puff puff!

This is the sound made when the crossbow bolt hits the human body. The sound is very soft, and it can't be heard if you don't pay attention to the loud shouts.

At this moment, at least more than [-] crossbow arrows were fired, and more than hundreds of people were hit by the crossbow arrows. Some were hit in vital parts and died directly, but more people were shot in less fatal places. The screams continued.

Some people did not die after being shot down, and it is reasonable to say that they could be rescued, but in the charge of tens of thousands of people, these injured people were trampled on countless feet, and they could only die in the end.

"Archers, shoot."

Just when the besiegers rushed to a distance of more than 100 meters, Cao Hong gave the order to shoot again.

As the archers started shooting, countless arrows began to rain towards the Liaodong army.

Although most of the siege troops were equipped with wooden shields, in the face of so many arrows, some of them could hit people.

The soldiers of Gongsun Kang in Liaodong rushed very fast. Before the archers had time to shoot a few rounds of arrow rain, the besiegers had already arrived at the city.

Moreover, at a distance of [-] meters outside the city, many archers from Liaodong began to shoot back and fight back, trying to suppress the archers on the city wall.

Fortunately, the Leyang city wall has a roof to prevent arrow rain, and with some baffles on the front, bows and arrows outside the city do not pose much of a threat to the soldiers on the wall.

In siege, the most important thing is to look at the infantry.

As Gongsun Kang's soldiers rushed to the bottom of the city, countless siege ladders were erected and leaned against the city wall.

Countless Liaodong soldiers began to climb up the siege ladder.

"Sword and shield soldier, defend the city wall for me, and don't let the enemy come up."

Soon, Cao Hong issued another order.

"Zhen Tianlei, throw it under the city for me."
