Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

"Before dark, this commander will set up camp in Zhuo County, you generals have confidence!" Chen Qingzhi sat firmly on the commander's seat and asked his generals.

"Confidence, the future will have confidence!" Before anyone else could speak, Cheng Yaojin asked, licking his face.

Now, Cheng Yaojin has a new official position, commander of the artillery.

Cheng Yaojin likes rare things, and is very curious about Daqin's artillery.In the past, artillery was only equipped with water troops.After the development of Daqin in the past two years, as well as the improvement of artillery.Today, the army is also equipped with artillery.

The most worrying point is that Cheng Yaojin has a lucky BUFF. With this kid around, the accuracy of the artillery battalion's firing is similar to that of GPS navigation installed.

You know, when Cheng Yaojin fired a cannon for the first time, he killed the king of Wu, Sun Jian.Therefore, on the surface, making Cheng Yaojin the commander of the artillery battalion is actually letting him be the mascot of the artillery battalion.

"Chen Shuai don't worry, Zhuo County will definitely be captured before dark." Zhang Liao also nodded in response.

This time when attacking Zhuojun, the commanders of the Qin army are Chen Qingzhi, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Yuwen Chengdu, Zhao Yun and others.

With this lineup, it can be said to be a luxurious group.Even if you count the whole world, there are few people who can be the enemy.

"Cheng Yaojin listens to the order!" At this moment, Chen Qingzhi stood up and picked up a command arrow from the handsome case.

"The last general obeys orders!" Cheng Yaojin clasped his hands and said.

"Order your department to bombard Zhuojun first, and blow out a gap in Zhuojun!" Chen Qingzhi ordered.

"The last general takes orders, Commander, take a look!" Cheng Yaojin revealed a wave of excitement all over his body.

Finally he was able to have sex, and he, Cheng Yaojin, liked sex the most.

After Cheng Yaojin left, Chen Qingzhi continued to order: "The rest of the generals are on standby and ready to attack the city at any time!"

"Decree!" All Qin generals responded one after another.

Not long after, there was a "creak, creak" sound from behind the Qin Army's camp.

I saw that in the camp of the Qin army, the cannons were pulled by horses and pushed by people behind them, moving slowly under the city wall.

The Qin army's artillery was originally installed on the ship, but it was actually not suitable for use on land.Because it was too heavy, the artillery loaded on the ship at the beginning weighed more than two thousand catties.

The level of smelting in this era is not high. Even if the cannon is made of relatively ductile bronze, the barrel of the cannon must be cast extremely thick to prevent the chamber from exploding.

The power of the Qin army's artillery is beyond doubt, but it also has a fatal flaw, that is, it is too heavy.Each of the cannons installed on the ship weighs about two thousand catties.

Even after the improvement, the artillery specially supplied to the army weighs more than 800 catties.This huge weight is doomed to the extremely poor mobility of the artillery.

The artillery's combat effectiveness is very poor, so in field battles, the artillery is likely to be ordered by the enemy's cavalry.

However, fortunately, today is a siege battle, which can give the artillery of the Qin army a chance to perform perfectly.

Following a burst of horse-drawn people, the Qin Army's thirty cannons were neatly arranged under the city of Zhuo County.

A total of thirty heavy artillery pieces were enough to smash the city wall of Zhuo County to pieces.

Looking at the thirty cannons in front of him, Cheng Yaojin was very proud.Today, the entire Qin army is only equipped with these thirty artillery pieces, all of which are under his old Cheng's management. What an honor it is.

That said, among the entire Qin army, he, Cheng Yaojin, was the only one who could shoot cannons.

Moreover, this public shooting is the right that King Qin gave him to Lao Cheng.

"Boom, give me a hard bang."

"You don't need to aim, just let me smash the cannonballs on the city wall." Cheng Yaojin ordered.

The reason why as soon as the battle with Cao Jun was started, the artillery was used as a big killer.It is also Li Chen who wants to try the power of this improved artillery, and wants to see how lethal this artillery is against the city wall.

In this era, the bulkiness of artillery meant that it was a weapon that could only play its greatest role in siege warfare.

Therefore, how lethal the artillery is to the city wall determines whether the artillery will be installed in the army on a large scale.

Following Cheng Yaojin's order, the Qin army's artillery began to roar deafeningly.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

As the loud noises shocked the world, above the sky, countless laughing shells flew from the heads of Cao Wei soldiers and smashed towards the city wall.

The huge cannonball slammed into the city wall with the force of impact.The strong shock wave destroyed the wooden pavilions on the city wall.Broken wood, tiles, bricks and stones fell to the ground one after another.

Cao Wei's soldiers had never encountered such a scene before, they all shrank at the base of the city wall, trembling.

5 Chapter Twenty

The soldiers of the Qin Army did not attack the city at all, but chose to suppress the artillery fire first.The shooting of the artillery is far above the bows and arrows of Cao Jun on the city wall. Now Cao Jun on the city wall has no power to fight back at all.

Outside the city, successive cannons roared.Some shells hit the city wall, and after several consecutive shots, the wall stacks collapsed.

Many Cao Jun who were blocked under the city wall were buried by the collapsed rubble.

Although most of the shells hit the city wall, occasionally one or two shells fell right into the crowd.

Once a shell falls among the crowd, it can be said that there will be hardly any living people within a radius of several feet.Those Cao Jun soldiers who were unlucky and were in the center of the explosion were directly blasted into meat.

Qin Jun's artillery was only used when he entered the palace of Soochow.Therefore, this is the first time that the Qin army used artillery against the Cao army.

When he really faced the power of the artillery, Yu Jin realized that the power of the artillery was so terrifying.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Below Zhuo County, more than [-] artillery pieces of the Qin Army were still roaring, firing shells continuously onto the city wall.

Yu Jin lay on the top of the city wall and watched secretly. He wanted to see what kind of weapon had such power.

The more Yu Jin looked at it, the more frightened he became, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.Just thirty cannons are so terrifyingly powerful. If there are three hundred or three thousand cannons, wouldn't the Qin army sweep the world.

"This kind of weapon is so powerful, it must be very expensive to make, and the Qin army may not be able to equip it in large quantities!" Yu Jin thought in his heart.

In fact, Yu Jin's conjecture was really correct. It was really difficult for the Qin army to equip artillery.

Artillery is okay, although the manufacturing process is not simple for this era, but after all, artillery can be used continuously.

As long as you take care of it when you use it and maintain it properly, it can last for a long time.

But cannonballs are different. Cannonballs are one-time consumables, and cannonballs are different from bows and arrows. After the bows and arrows are fired, they can be recycled after winning the battle. Cannonballs cannot be recycled.

As soon as the cannon is fired, ten thousand taels of gold is not just talk. The use of artillery is an extremely great pressure on finances.

Moreover, artillery has another disadvantage, that is, it is overcome by cavalry.Once the cavalry broke into the artillery position, the slow-moving artillery became a target for fire.

Artillery can be said to be very effective in siege, and it can barely be used to deal with infantry, but it cannot be used to deal with cavalry.

If you want to deal with cavalry, you still have to use muskets.And it can't be a relatively primitive front-loading gun, or at least a flintlock gun that fires fixed ammunition.

Today, Li Chen's arsenal, under the leadership of Huang Yueying, has begun intensive research and development of fixed-load ammunition and flintlock guns.

Of course, there are technical barriers to fixed-load ammunition and flintlock guns in this era.If you want to succeed in research and development, you have to overcome this technical barrier bit by bit.

Once the army is equipped with flintlock guns that fire fixed ammunition, the time for Li Chen to rule the world will naturally be ripe.

In this battle, Cao Jun fought with fear. You can't even touch others, and you can only be beaten passively. This is indeed a headache.

Outside the city, the [-] cannons of the Qin army were still roaring, but the city walls of Zhuojun could no longer hold up.

Dozens of gaps were blasted out of the wall on the city wall, and cracks like spider webs appeared on the city wall.

The damage to the city wall is not the most terrible thing. What makes Yu Jin feel powerless is that Cao Jun's generals are scared.

"Thor!"

"Qin Jun invited Thor!"

"The thunder from the sky is helping Qin Jun, we can't win!" Many Cao Jun's mentality has collapsed, and they are crying and howling.

Now, the morale of the soldiers is slackened, which is what Yu Jin is most worried about.Once the artillery fire stops, there is no doubt that it is time for the Qin army to attack. Then, how can these frightened soldiers resist the Qin army's attack?

After another continuous bombardment of a stick of incense, the artillery fire outside the city gradually became thinner.Due to long-term firing, some barrels have already started to heat up, and it is too late to cool them with cold water.

In this case, the already heated artillery can only temporarily stop firing shells.After all, when the barrel is hot, firing the cannonball forcibly is in danger of exploding the chamber.

Hearing the roar of the artillery gradually fade away, Chen Qingzhi immediately issued an order.

"Several generals, attack the city!"

Under the cover of artillery fire, the infantry of the Qin Army began to rush towards the edge of the city carrying the ladder.

"Quick, let the arrows go, let the arrows go!" Yu Jin saw the soldiers of the Qin Army approaching the city carrying ladders, and immediately shouted to order Cao Jun to release arrows to prevent the infantry of the Qin Army from approaching the city.

However, at this time, many soldiers of the Cao army had been scared out of their wits, and only a few soldiers responded to the ban. Most of the soldiers of the Cao army were hiding under the wall, not daring to show their faces.

This is the power of long-range fire suppression, I can hit you, but you can only stare at it.The most critical point is that under the suppression of long-range firepower, the infantry of the Qin Army can easily approach the city wall.

"Kill, kill, kill."

Under the cover of artillery fire, during the time of the Qin Army, the ladders of the Qin Army's infantry had already set up on the city wall of Zhuo County.

Today, the entire Zhuo County can be said to be in jeopardy.

The ladder was put on the city wall, and the soldiers of the Qin army climbed up the ladder one by one.

At this time, Cheng Yaojin's artillery outside the city had also turned off.At this time, it is no longer possible to fire shells, otherwise one bad one may hurt one's own people.

"Get up, get up."

"Stop the enemy, stop the enemy!" Yu Jin yelled, waving the sword in his hand.

However, even though the artillery fire of the Qin Army had stopped, many soldiers of the Cao Army still felt "buzzing" in their ears, and many people's heads were shaken like a ball of paste by the explosion.

General Cao Jun looked at these ordinary soldiers who were stunned in place, one by one, they kicked everyone with their big feet, and abruptly kicked these people who were huddled under the wall.

However, such a delay is already completely late.

At this time, all the soldiers of the Qin army rushed up densely on the city wall, and they were still rushing up like a tide.

Qin Jun's ladders were built very cleverly, and they were all placed at the mouth of the bombed city wall. In this way, it was more convenient for Qin Jun to climb.

These soldiers of the Cao family are not the opponents of Qin Jun under normal circumstances, let alone the fact that they are dispirited now, they are even less opponents of Qin Jun.

When the soldiers and horses of Qin and Wei came together, the generals of the Cao family could be said to be broken at the first touch, and they were no match for the generals of the Qin army.

Chapter 521 I'm Not Here

The Qin army's attack was fierce, and Chen Qingzhi had already issued an order to stay overnight in the city tonight.Therefore, the Qin army must not dare to slow down the rhythm of the attack.

"Hold on, brothers, hold on!" Yu Jin waved the sword in his hand and shouted.

You know, it hasn't been long since the Qin army started shelling. If Yu Jin loses the city wall in just one or two hours, how can Yu Jin have face in the future?

However, at this time, the Qin army had already rushed up in an all-round way, such as ladders, battering rams, etc., in short, all engineering weapons had been used.

In addition, the morale of Cao Jun on the city wall was weak, and the city wall was also in danger. It didn't take long for Cao Jun to show the color of defeat.

As more and more Qin troops rushed up the city wall, the city gate was also breached by the Qin army's battering hammer.Ever since, more soldiers of the Qin army rushed into the city wall.

For a time, this offensive and defensive battle entered a feverish stage, and the two sides began a full-scale hand-to-hand combat.

However, in such a high-intensity battle, Cao Jun's soldiers were no match for Qin Jun at all. Many Cao Jun's soldiers had already dropped their weapons and surrendered on their knees.

"Surrender to avoid death, surrender without killing!"

"Surrender to avoid death, surrender without killing!"

"Surrender to avoid death, surrender without killing!"

With the loud shouts of the soldiers of the Qin Army, more and more Cao Wei soldiers and horses began to drop their weapons and surrender to the Qin Army.

"General Yu, brothers can't stand it anymore."

"Let's go, General Yu!"

"Hurry up and take General Yu away, I'll come to the rear!"

A loyal general of the Cao army led hundreds of Yu Jin's cavalry to stop the Qin army, and motioned for Yu Jin to go first.

Although Yu Jin couldn't bear to leave his brother behind, he thought about it, if he was captured, who would tell King Wei what he saw today?

No, no matter what, we must let King Wei know what happened in Zhuo County today.Qin Jun is equipped with such powerful weapons, so he has to tell King Wei no matter what, otherwise our country Wei will suffer a lot.

Thinking of this, Yu Jin gritted his teeth and withdrew to the rear with more than a hundred soldiers, trying to escape from Zhuojun.

Just when Yu Jin got on his horse and withdrew from the battlefield, Yu Wencheng also noticed Yu Jin's movements and hurriedly chased after Yu Jin.

Yu Jin finally escaped from Zhuo County, and galloped on the official road outside Zhuo County. However, at this moment, Yu Jin suddenly discovered that there was a person on the official road standing in front of him with a horse.
