Chapter 176 Siege (1)

Zhang Shun's subordinates did not receive systematic training, so they are still unfamiliar with more professional things like geotechnology. Fortunately, most of these people are from hardships and doing farm work is also their duty. So when they got shovels made of high-quality pure steel, they still quickly got into their roles.

Because the preparation time was relatively short, Zhang Shun and other craftsmen only made more than 5,000 shovels. However, this was not the common shovels they had, but Zhang Shun was made according to the shape of the engineer shovels in later generations. This kind of thing actually had high requirements for the manufacturing process, but because there was no better equipment and more time, everything could only be simplified.

Fortunately, these are all high-quality steel. After burning them, they are poured into a mud mold to form, and then polish them casually. However, such rough products are ground faster and faster during use, so they do not appear very bad.

This time, Zhang Shun also made great efforts to send all the troops to the battlefield. After it was completely dark, they entered the battlefield and then excavated directly. Since there were not many iron balls, everyone could only divide them into two parts. Half of them excavated, and the other half were responsible for carrying wooden boards and filling baskets, and the most important thing was responsible for the security work.

At this time, it was already dark, and the distance they chose was far, so although the defenders of Ji County heard the sound soon, they did not know what these people were doing, so the soldiers immediately reported the information to Bayantule.

Since Bayantule defeated the last attack, he knew that he and Zhang Zhe had already formed a great revenge. He had been waiting for the revenge that Zhang Shun would come at any time. Now when he heard the soldiers coming up to report that Zhang Zhe had arrived, he immediately jumped up, "Damn, I have been waiting for them for a long time. They still came to the door. Haha, this time I want to kill them all and hang their heads on the top of the city, which can be regarded as avenging Wu Xiu."

But when he walked to the city, he was stunned, because there was only a sound of shoveling soil under the city, but he couldn't see clearly what those people were doing. They were still digging soil at such a long distance without attacking. Could it be that they wanted to dig tunnels into the city? But now they are still facing a problem. The distance between the enemy is too far, let alone bows and arrows, even the Eight Niu Crossbows cannot reach it.

"Come on, order a cavalry team and rush out and kill all the damn rats of these people." Bayantule didn't care much, but directly issued such an order. He thought that a cavalry team was enough to disperse the opposite army.

The city gate of Ji County immediately opened, and a tide of cavalry of thousands of people surged out like a tide. They rushed directly to Zhang Shun's troops who were digging a pit. However, at this time, those people had already dug about half a person deep, and the shovels were getting faster and faster, so the progress was getting faster and faster, but this level of pit could not stop the enemy cavalry.

A thousand people moved forward quickly. They went out of the city gate and entered the blitz mode directly, holding the bow and arrow in their hands, but because it was too dark, they still could not attack. They also wanted to try to close the distance before firing the bow and shooting the arrow.

But things were not that simple, because when they got closer, they suddenly saw some sparks shining in the dark night in front of them.

"What is that?" Many people thought of such a question at this moment, but they didn't know the answer. A Shu had already told all his generals about Zhang Shun's new weapons, but the problem was that Bayantule didn't believe it at all. He felt that when he killed those people, the other party had nothing else except using the thunder in his palm, so he didn't tell his subordinates about these things. Naturally, these people didn't know that the thing was a pine tree cannon.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" At least ten pine cannons sounded at the same time, and the fire illuminated the dark night, as if lightning bolts were lit up on the ground at the same time. The sudden appearance of this lightning immediately flashed everyone's eyes. In such a dark night, they seemed to be blind.

However, the lightning alone made the warriors briefly blind, and the real terrifying thing was the back. The army moving forward in the dark seemed to have been magically immersed in some magic. The screams spread immediately, and death spread in a short time. The hundreds of people running in the front had all fallen into the dust. The people behind also found that they had entered the enemy's terrifying attack range. The enemy already had a brand new terrifying weapon in their hands, so they immediately ran back to the back at a faster speed. Their riding skills were extremely high and their control of war horses was even more exciting. They went around a big circle before Zhang Shun and their pine cannons and rushed back to Jixian, as if they had never come out.

Zhang Shun was watching all this from behind. Zhou Feiyu was already a little ready just now, but Zhang Shun never issued an order to pursue him, which made Zhou Feiyu very anxious, but he did not dare to ask.

But at this moment, Zhang Shun finally spoke, "Longhai, lead the infantry to clean up the battlefield, cut off the heads of the people regardless of their lives, and put them into Jingguan where they died. Since they hung the heads of our brothers on the top of the city, we will use their heads to pay tribute to our brothers! When we captured Jixian, we will also hang the heads of these Tartars on the city tower." When Zhang Shun said these words, his eyes were always on the city tower, where there was a torch lantern.

There were countless heads hanging under the light, and Zhang Shun could not see who was the heads. After so many days of wind and sun, the heads had already become waxed. Where could they tell who was who they were? But at this time, Zhang Shun seemed to hear the heads bursting out with miserable shouts. They were shouting loudly, "Third Brother, Third Brother, take revenge, take revenge!" This made Zhang Shun's heart seem to be burning, burning his internal organs and blood to the boil.

Long Hai responded immediately and rushed out with his subordinates. These people had been impatient for a long time. As soon as they rushed into the battlefield, they began to massacre. Whether they were dead or injured or not dead immediately, their heads were cut off by these people.
