Summon players, rebuild Dawei

Jiang Shu's premonition came true.

Five days later, he received intelligence from the spies, and the king of Chu decided to go to the north to fight.

At that time, Wei Jun had just arrived and set up camp near Fulong County. The news undoubtedly added a sense of urgency to their siege plan.

Although it will take some time for the king of Chu to gather the food and grass for his own conquest, this is after all within the territory of Chu State, and the Chu army has an absolute advantage in territory.

If Xing Sang didn't play his cards according to common sense, and led his army northward first, and then requisitioned food and grass along the way, once the enemy's army approached and his own side had not conquered Fulong City, he might be attacked by two sides.

That night, in the Chinese military tent, when Jiang Shu shared the information from Wolong Pavilion, everyone felt a strong sense of threat.

"So, I need to change the plan." After a moment of silence, Xie Feng spoke first, glanced at Bu Jingyun, then looked at Jiang Shu, "To be conservative, I suggest withdrawing first."

As soon as this remark came out, the rest of them frowned.

Jiang Shu nodded, did not respond to whether it is necessary or not, and looked at Lu Qing calmly: "How does Lu Canjun feel?"

Lu Qing thought for a while, then murmured: "If Fulong County can be conquered within half a month, it would be a good idea to face it head-on."

Xie Feng frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

When he said this, he didn't intend to sing a different tune or bad-mouth his own side, but a reasonable judgment based on his knowledge.

Jiang Shu could understand his concerns. Even his modern soul was surprised for a while when he knew the city defense situation in Fulong County.

In this era when the city walls were all made of earth, Fulong City, an ordinary city, had already covered the walls with bricks and stones, and even built urns and horse faces outside.

The so-called horse face refers to the narrow and long enemy platform that protrudes from the wall, and there is a watch tower above it for observation and stationing troops. It can not only observe the enemy's situation, store weapons and troops, but also snipe the enemy from three sides, eliminating the visual blind spots at the bottom of the city wall. .

As for Wengcheng, it is a small city surrounded by city gates outside the city walls.

Most of the urns are arc-shaped, with the same height and thickness as the city walls. Its existence is undoubtedly to protect the relatively fragile city gates. Such a layer of barriers can greatly delay the enemy's offensive.

And thanks to the narrow terrain in the urn city and the high walls surrounding it on all sides, once the enemy army goes deep, it is difficult to launch an offensive, and if you are not careful, you will become a turtle in the urn.

Both of these are fortifications that have not really appeared in this era. Xie Feng has never seen these, so it is normal for him to worry about them.

Jiang Shu suspected that the reason why Xing Sang made these city defense designs was likely to be aimed at their previous thunderbolt offensive.

After all, according to the news that the scouts learned, the top of the urn city is about 50 meters wide, and the top of the city wall is eight meters thick. If it is attacked with a thunderbolt cannon, it is basically impossible to throw the shells on the inner wall given the range and height of the trebuchet.

Such a solid defense would take a lot of time even if it was advanced with a tiger cannon.

If Xing Sang is not ready to fight head-on, they use the tiger cannon to attack the city. Even if it takes some time, it doesn't matter. A dangerous situation surrounded by pincers.

"General Bu." Jiang Shu looked at Bu Jingyun, "What do you think?"

Bu Jingyun didn't answer, but asked: "My lord, do you have the city defense map of Fulong City?"

Jiang Shu paused and said, "You can get it."

In fact, they had already learned about the city defense deployment of Fulong County through the information of Wolong Pavilion, and the original attack plan was designed based on this.

However, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. After the high-profile appearance of the Tiger Cannon and the Flying Eagles forcing the [-] reinforcements back to Fulong City, the enemy's defense center is likely to change.

"If I can get the city defense map, I want to activate the Flying Poison Cannon and the General Cannon in advance." Bu Jingyun said.

The Flying Poison Cannon's ammunition reserves are relatively small, and it was originally planned to be hidden in Wulie City for use. After all, Wulie City is surrounded by moats and has two urns. The city walls are far stronger and wider than Fulong City. It is extremely difficult to attack. If you have weapons that exceed the enemy's expectations, you can catch the enemy by surprise.

But now that the situation has changed, the king of Chu personally led the army to fight, and it is not so important to capture Wulie City.

Therefore, Bu Jingyun is going to change his strategy and use two shells in advance.

"With the city defense map, you can know the enemy's military concentration points and material storage points.

"The Flying Poison Cannon has a long range and high accuracy. It can be used to target and attack the two, and even kill the main general. The Brave and Invincible General Cannon is powerful and has a wide attack radiation area, which can be used to break the enemy's solid defense.

"The two are like a combination of long-distance attack and melee combat. The artillery fire opens the way, and both approaches are used. Let alone attacking the city in half a month, it is not difficult to attack the city within ten days."

Bu Jingyun spoke out his thoughts slowly, and everyone listened with expressions of approval.

Xie Feng was apprehensive at first, but he was gradually persuaded later.

He didn't know the specific functions of the Flying Poison Cannon and the Great General's Cannon, but since Bu Jingyun valued them so much, they must be more powerful weapons than the Tiger Cannon.

After the Taiqingguan battle, Xie Feng no longer underestimated the power of these unfamiliar weapons.

Jiang Shu was more inclined to continue attacking the city from the very beginning, and the reason was very simple. They needed a safe house in the enemy camp that could accommodate a hundred thousand troops, and Fulong City was the most suitable choice because it could advance or retreat.

After hearing that Bu Jingyun proposed a plan with the same idea as his, Jiang Shu nodded and asked everyone's opinion, but the result was unanimous, and everyone agreed.

Now that the general direction has been determined, what is needed next is the city defense map of Fulong City.

Without this thing, a more specific attack plan could not be formulated.

So as soon as the meeting was over, Jiang Shu assigned tasks to Wolong Pavilion.

After two days of waiting, in the early morning of the third day, the members of Crouching Dragon Pavilion who followed Jiang Shu put a secret letter on his desk.

Opened the secret letter and glanced at it, and found that it was the city defense deployment of Fulong City that he wanted, Jiang Shu immediately sent someone to invite Bu Jingyun to come over.

Bu Jingyun came very quickly, and when Jiang Shuqi met his eyes, he sighed and said, "After this battle, the difficulty of collecting the enemy's military information may increase greatly."

The attack plan they formulated was so precise, Xing Sang must have realized that there are many secrets hidden in his army.

Bu Jingyun still said the same words: "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover up."

Jiang Shu raised his eyebrows slightly, and handed him the secret letter in his hand.

·

Three days later, in the middle of the corner, Bu Jingyun led [-] troops out of the camp and lined up outside Fulong City.

Under the blue sky and scorching sun, the armor of the soldiers was shining brightly. The Shenji Battalion and the Doctor Battalion were lined up on both sides, with their faces upturned and energetic.

The orderly soldiers raised the command flag, and the attack drums were beaten on the high platform. Under the escort of a group of black-robed soldiers, the Shenji Battalion pushed five flying poisonous cannons to the front of the formation.

Seeing the huge and dangerous unfamiliar weapon, the defenders on the city wall suddenly became vigilant. Although they were defenders, they held shields, leaned against the outer wall and hid under the wall, blocking the shields above their heads.

This is the evasion method proposed by Wu Chi against the attack of the Tiger Cannon, which can protect the soldiers from being harmed by the enemy's mysterious weapon attack to the greatest extent.

However, the next attack was beyond their expectations.

Cannonballs were fired from below the city, but the artillery fire did not fall on the city wall. The shells either flew over the urn city and flew into the city, or hit the enemy towers and towers with precision.

Accompanied by violent vibrations, shells exploded one after another, fragments splashed in the flames, and screams of soldiers came from various garrison points.

All of a sudden, the walls and soil collapsed, smoke and dust rose everywhere, countless soldiers were crushed under the rubble of the beams, and only sharp explosions and mournful wailing were heard around the city walls.

The Flying Poison Cannon fired a full eight rounds, and by the time the forty explosive bombs were projected, the enemy towers and towers on the city wall had been damaged to dilapidated condition.

A big fire was ignited at a corner of the tower, gray smoke filled the air, heat waves billowed, and the air was suffocatingly hot, and it was hard to tell whether it was the fierceness of the sun or the scorching flames.

However, this was not over yet. Before the defenders in the city could catch their breath, another five rounds of bombardment by the General's cannon followed.

This time the artillery fire focused on attacking the Wengcheng, and the huge impact force of the mortar and the super-wide range of attack intensity caused great damage to the city wall.

By the time the fifteen shells were fired, not to mention the gates on both sides, even the city walls were almost destroyed.

The ashes blown down by the wind floated on the ruined walls, and the soldiers hiding in the urn and the guards on the walls were all in panic and chaos.

For the first time, they experienced such a horrible war, which was beyond what they could accept.

What they are facing is not the enemy's sword, but the invisible artillery fire, the unknown fear and the confusion of not knowing when it will end.

Under rounds of bombing, the defenders had lost their will to fight and just wanted to flee and hide. Those who had this consciousness were lucky. Many soldiers witnessed the scene where their comrades around them were blown to pieces. Has been emotionally broken.

Mo Yanzhi, the general who commanded this battle, was originally the chief of a tribe in the Southwestern Yi.

When the first shell fell on the city tower, he withdrew to the inner city wall with his own soldiers. Relying on the protection of the city wall, he escaped the bombardment by luck.

After the artillery fire ended, news came to his ears one after another. After hearing that the arsenal, barracks, and multiple storage points for food and supplies had been destroyed, Mo Yanzhi fell into a state of sluggish panic.

They don't understand why there are weapons with such a large range and powerful lethality in the world, nor do they understand how those weapons are accurately positioned to their garrison points and arsenals.

The sudden incident made it difficult for him to sort it out, but one thing he knew was that they would not be able to hold this Fulong City today.

From the state of the soldiers around him, it is not difficult to see that the soldiers under him have completely lost their fighting spirit.

Mo Yanzhi never imagined that such a day would come to him. He was surrounded by experienced veterans. In the past, they attacked the cities of Wei State wantonly, and the soldiers and people of Wei State were weak under their sharp swords. Now it is their turn. They were tinnitus and dazzled by the artillery bombardment, and they had no power to fight back.

King Wei has such a powerful weapon, is it possible for the Hu people to win?

This thought flashed through Mo Yanzhi's mind, and he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, but soon, he put aside these thoughts, and under the watchful eyes of his own soldiers, he gritted his teeth and gave the order to retreat.

He thought, regardless of whether he could win or not, the situation of the enemy army should be reported to the king as soon as possible.

·

Outside the city, looking at the raging fire in the distance, the Wei army was solemn and solemn.

After learning from the scout's report that the soldiers in the Wengcheng were broken up, Bu Jingyun handed out the command flag to the messengers around him.

The messengers immediately got on their horses and galloped across the battalions with the command flag held high. Amid the increasingly fierce sound of war drums, they shouted a message: "General's order, attack!"
