It was dusk and before the sky was still bright, the fortifications of the government army were finally almost done.

A person-high wooden chest wall was modified on the top of the earth platform.

With this fortification, the enemy outside the city will no longer be beaten with his head in his arms, but will be able to fight back.

The Mongolian archers outside the city are not weak, and most of the new recruits on their side do not know how to use bows and arrows, but also rely on veterans.

When shooting at each other, you won’t have much advantage on your side.

Suddenly thinking about something, Wang Meng's eyes lit up.

"Let Hu Weiyong come here!"

Hu Weiyong was sweating profusely and walked to Wang Meng.

Wang Meng said, "Please bring over the two thunderbolt cannons built in the military camp."

Before, because this thunderbolt cannon was difficult to mass produce, it was complicated to use, and its power was not too great, it seemed to be nothing but a useless person in Wang Meng's opinion.

It seems that it comes in handy now. If you shoot one shot, the fortifications of the government army are not a problem, it will definitely be a pitfall if you shoot one shot.

When Hu Weiyong heard Wang Meng's words, his eyes lit up.

"Lord, I'll do it right away."

After a while, several small schools dragged two hideous things from a distance, and followed them with two young Taoist priests.

Thunderbolt cannon. This thing was a powerful weapon for siege and defending cities during the Song Dynasty, but it was difficult to produce and operate. The Song Dynasty stayed in front of the imperial court or used in important areas of the border.

However, this power is not great enough in Wang Meng's opinion, and it needs to be further studied.

However, it is now just right.

"Yunde, Yunshan, can use it!"

The young Taoist priest was full of confidence and said, "Don't worry, General, this thing is controlled by both of us every time, no problem."

When Wang Meng heard this, he immediately smiled: "Prepare it and aim it at the government army's earthen platform."

Yunshan and Yunde quickly began to swing the cannon barrel, prepare the gunpowder, and put it in and aim it at the target outside the city.

Sun Xiao and Zhou Yong also surrounded him.

"Little Taoist, fuck him a fuck?" Sun Xiao said excitedly.

Zhou Yong looked at him disdainfully: "Reckless man, there is no fart on it, so I'm shooting an egg? When is there a lot of people standing on it, and when will I take action!"

Sun Xiao was suddenly furious and was about to say something.

Wang Meng immediately glared at the two of them: "I'm just fighting for nothing, shut up!"

"Zhou Yong, prepare your brothers, and when the turbulent stages are in chaos, take your brothers to rush for a while."

"Sun Xiao, so are you, let me go over and prepare for the battle."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yong quickly clasped his fists and said yes.

As the leader of the cavalry, he was not excited when he heard that the opportunity had come.

He showed another proud expression to Sun Xiao.

Sun Xiao gave him a look in anger.

When Wang Meng saw the two of them, he shook his head slightly.

These two people had no hatred, they simply had aura that was not in dealing with, one was an infantry leader and the other was a cavalry leader.

Growing up together since childhood, I always like to argue with each other.

"Official army, we are on the stage!"

Hearing the shouts, Wang Meng immediately lay on the city wall.

Several archers under the city held heavy bows and were wearing leather robes and climbed onto the earthen platform.

There is also a chest wall on the earthen platform, which wraps these archers like a shield.

The earth platform is made of ladders, so the positions of archers cannot be on the same horizontal line.

One of the archers measured the direction of the wind and brushed an arrow, and the arrow branches fell down the city.

"Test shot!"

Wang Meng shouted, the bows and arrows of the ancients actually needed corrections like rifles from later generations.

Wang Meng held the order flag in his hand and shouted loudly on the city wall: "The front row squats under the wall, and the rear row cats are behind the shield!"

The officials on the earthen platform shot a volley, and the rain of arrows was filled with tears.

"Raising the shield!"

The generals on the city wall shouted loudly, although the trained rookies were young, but with the guidance of veterans, a shield formation was quite decent, defending most of the arrow rains.

Only a few dozen arrows penetrated through the gap.

The flag on Wang Meng's hand moved and he shouted loudly: "Tug the shield and shoot!"

A shield wall suddenly scattered, and the veterans hiding behind were all elite soldiers brought out by Wang Meng for several years, most of whom were skilled in bows and horses.

At this time, they all raised their bows and shot the first round of arrows towards the earthen platform.

A rain of arrows immediately headed towards the earthen platform.

Something beyond Wang Meng's surprise happened. The archers on the earthen platform had no sense of blocking them at all, and only some lucky archers were hiding behind the chest wall.

Most of the other archers fell under the rain of arrows, in a pool of blood.

The archer who was lucky enough to die suddenly let out a whimper and a whine.

Ji Rentai slapped the table: "How come the barbarians on the wall have the shield formation, the arrow formation, and so many skilled archers come?"

He has great experience in fighting with these rebellious barbarians.

Usually, bows and arrows suppress and suicide squads attacked by surprise are enough. This is how Dingyuan City was broken before.

The barbarians of Haozhou just occupy a larger city, and in his opinion there is no difference.

But I didn't expect that I would suffer a big loss this time.

Wang Meng laughed: "This Mongolian underestimated me and waited. Do you really think we are refugees and bandits?"

"Continue to shoot!"

"No need to rush Zhou Yong. At this moment, I will keep both of your archers."

The flag on Wang Mengshou's hand suddenly danced.

The alternating archers immediately launched the second round of arrow rain.

This time, the archers on the earthen platform had some experience. They were all under the chest wall, and there were very little casualties.

Ji Rentai also quickly ordered: "Give up the arrow formation, use the earth wall to shoot arrows freely."

After a while, these Mongolian-style archers gave up the arrow formation, and the cat freely attacked the city under the chest wall and shot arrows.

There were really dozens of inexperienced recruits who were hit by the arrow.

Wang Meng immediately curled his lips and looked at the earthen wall outside the city, which was particularly annoying.

"Yunde!"

Wang Meng turned around and shouted, "Aim at the archers on the earthen platform under the city and fuck them for me!"

The thunderbolt cannon had already pointed at the target and was waiting for his order.

Yunde and Yunshan brothers, under the protection of their shields, confirmed again, and then waved their hands behind them.

"boom!"

The huge sound of breaking through the air made people's eardrums hurt, and then a white light flashed in their sight.

This cannon is a paper tube, divided into two sections. Only gunpowder is set in one section, and it explodes after ignition, causing the other section to take off, and lime and sulfur are placed in the other section. After falling, it explodes, and the paper cracks and lime spreads everywhere.

The local wooden chest wall of Guan Jun on the earth platform suddenly exploded.

Immediately afterwards, a blood mist and limbs flew into the air. The shell directly connected the chest wall and bombed the archers hiding behind, shattering heart-wrenching screams.

In the official army's tent, the chief general Ji Rentai stood up with a whisper and said angrily: "Pili Cannon! How can these barbarians use the Pili Cannon?"

Thinking back to the power of this thing described by the ancestors, Ji Rentai suddenly felt cold.

"Damn barbarians, you can't even use kitchen knives for them!"

After all, Ji Rentai suddenly defeated his anger rationally in an instant.

"Send the order and drive the refugees to the Tutai, and our elite archers cannot be left there."

Soon, Wang Meng saw hundreds of refugees crying and crying, as if they were driven to Tutaizi like cattle and sheep.

How could Wang Meng not understand the opponent's coach's idea? He wanted to use these refugees to make him feel afraid.

The other party was able to use the cover of these refugees to replace several elite teams of archers on the earthen platform.

Wang Meng looked at the refugees, and a moment of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and immediately showed his order flag.
