Forty-nine, the lonely city is broken in one day (middle)
On the artillery positions outside the city of Xuan, the Tukan coalition's siege cannons kept spitting out flames and projecting hot projectiles into the city walls.
After each bombardment, the heavy, thick and short mortar cannon will suddenly retreat backwards, leaving two deep traces of the cannon wheels between the mud and sand.
When the artillery is fired, it will retreat a distance due to reaction force. Since humans have the cannon, until the automatic reset device is invented, it is always a "bang" shot, and the cannon and the cannon carriage will jump up and retreat together. Then,
We need to let those strong gunners drag the cannons back to their original position through human dragging, and continue to load, aim, and bombard... Therefore, there is often a long time to prepare between every two shellings.
However, when the defenders were completely unable to counterattack, even if the firing speed of the mortar cannon was slower, it might not have any hindered the entire artillery position from crowds and smoke everywhere.
Whenever the fire at the muzzle flashed and a huge white smoke column was sprayed out, ant-like artillery immediately swarmed up, slowly regressing due to recoil and even being shaken away from the gun stand, and moved back to its original position with all its hands and feet. Next, it splashed water to cool down, cleaned the cannon chamber, loaded the launching medicine and solid bullet ghosts... and then there was a loud bang in the next round.
In addition to concentrating firepower to bombard the city wall, in order to prevent the defenders from blocking the gap, the artillery of the Tukan coalition also intended to let some projectiles fall into the residential areas behind the city wall "using jumps to kill the defenders. Whenever a new round of artillery attacks begin, gravel splashes everywhere on the streets inside the city wall, rubble and dust rise two or three stories high... and the group of soldiers who were originally hiding in the hidden cave on the inside of the city wall were either trembling with air waves and bleeding from their seven orifices, or buried alive under the collapsed earth and rocks!
Under such circumstances, the defenders had to completely give up the fortifications of the city walls and no longer try to repair the huge holes caused by the shells, but instead find places to avoid shells, trying to find a glimmer of life in this stormy artillery fire.
Behind the artillery position, Prince Heda Huli raised his canopy and flags, and watched the cracks of the city wall with satisfaction. In front of him, more than fifty siege mortars, with thick and short shapes, were spraying out white smoke one after another, making loud noises. The shattered land trembled in the artillery fire, and a faint smoke filled with smoke and dust: around him, the dense infantry soldiers were ready to go, and the first batch of cannon fodder prisoners had already been escorted to the moat, with swords being unsheathed behind them.
In front of him, the scarred Poxuan city wall was trembling and twisting in the smoke and dust that rose, as if it would collapse at any time.
In this magnificent war symphony, the only unharmonious miscellaneous sound was the occasional Jiang Hu and explosion on the artillery position.
As a barbaric and backward nomadic regime, the artillery of the Tukan people is also quite backward. Not only is the old style, the range is close, and the accuracy is poor, but the casting process is serious and various accidents often occur in actual combat.
First, because the barrel is generally uneven in thickness and thin, it is very easy to cause cracking when the gunpowder explodes. Therefore, after each launch, the barrel must be soaked with hot oil to prevent these fine cracks from expanding, but it is still not very effective. After more than ten consecutive rounds of bombardment, it is time to be scrapped.
Prince Heda Huli was not unaware of this, but he had an indifferent attitude and would be scrapped as soon as he was scrapped! Anyway, as long as he destroyed the walls of Yixuan, these heavy and lack accurate antique mortars would be useless.
Finally, a deaf roar shocked the entire battlefield. The scene that His Highness had been waiting for for a long time immediately appeared and the shaking city wall collapsed in an instant, making a huge breakthrough of hundreds of steps wide!
"..., it's time to show our army's courage! Push all the untouchables up to me!"
Suppressing Dongdong's beating heart, Prince Hedahuli calmly raised the scimitar in his hand, waved it hard, and issued the general attack order as calmly as possible. Next, after a rhythmic shaking of the flags, the sound of shocking shouts and drums suddenly rang out.
Under the whip of the supervision team, the prisoners who were captured from the desert tribes nearby, as well as the slaves who were originally under Prince Heda Huli, began to move slowly and move towards the collapsed city walls little by little. Their weapons and equipment were extremely simple, and they could be said to have nothing except a sharpened wooden stick spear and spear and ragged clothes on their bodies.
But I don’t know whether out of complete despair, I still want to please the new masters today, or I heard enough promises that made them work hard. After experiencing the initial hesitation and hesitation, these meat shield cannon fodders quickly became fanatical, shouting various slogans, raising their spears in a mess, and pounced on the wreckage of the collapsed and twisted city walls ahead!
They quickly stepped across the dry moat. In order to make the enemy outside the city thirst, Poxuan City cut off all the light and dark canals leading to the suburbs, but it also caused the moat to dry up. They removed one of their important defenses and then rushed into the collapsed wall gap. Faced with this surging attacker, the remaining sentries on the wall only put a few cold guns sporadically, causing almost no damage.
And behind the city wall that could no longer be defended, on the wide street facing the main city gate, looking at the enemies rushing through the city wall like a tide, Major General Kuroshima Hito slowly pulled out his samurai sword from his sheath.
Following his movement, the sound of swords unsheathed immediately resounded throughout the city!
Then, he visually measured the distance between the enemy and his own front, then waved the sword hard and issued a simple command.
Qi... The first row of infantry soldiers are ready to volley guns and release them!"
The infantry of the Neserel Army, who had already been ready on the street, innovatively pulled the trigger.
In an instant, a piece of fried bean-like noise rang out one after another, and in the smoke of gunpowder, countless hot shots were shot towards the other end of the street. The unprotected prisoners and slaves in front were immediately knocked down a large area, covered with holes, and blood fell into the rubble and dust.
Seeing the tragic situation in the front row, the cannon fodder soldiers following behind immediately burst into restlessness and hesitated and refused to go forward to die. But the Tukans's supervisor also followed suit, and drove them into the city with a whip, a spur and a knife back.
First...the second comes to the infantry, prepare to volley the guns and release them!"
With another order from Kuroshima Hitoshi, the deadly blast rushed towards the attackers again, causing them to suffer from casualties on the uncovered streets. But although these guys were very motivated and equipped, they were crowded after all. Even if they were released into six or seven hundred people within a minute or two, they continued to step on the corpses and pools of blood of their companions, screaming and rushing forward.
Looking at the figure of the enemy getting closer and closer, Major General Kuroshima Hito sighed and had to launch his only ruthless move.
