Chapter 43 Fighting for the Commanding Heights
As Zhao Xu became fierce, the thunderbolt cannons in the camp fired a series of shells into the city. The landed thunderbolt bombs were concentrated in the city near the main city and under the city. Although the thunderbolt bombs could not blow up those sturdy buildings, they could cause serious damage to the Bosaro soldiers who had already gathered and attacked the city.
In order to regain the urn city, too many soldiers have gathered near the gate of the main city. Then, with one shot, one can blow down one piece.
At this time, under the city, the large convoy led by Gao Lin, the second wave of 5,000 soldiers who had arrived at the city had arrived. However, since there was still a tower that had not been taken down, the city could not accommodate so many.
At this moment, many wooden ladders had been erected to replace the rope ladders that were once. Without the interference from the city, it became much safer here. Zhao Xu asked some soldiers to stand on the ladders, conveying what the city wanted to use. The shells of the coconut-sized thunderbolt cannons were sent, and oil pots were put into the basket and hung from the underworld with ropes.
The most important thing is that the "raindrop cannon" and its ammunition were sent. After hearing the news, Zhao Xu immediately asked someone to set up the "raindrop cannon". He pointed at the tower nearest the main city in the distance.
"Did you see that tower? Bang it hard and knock it down with a single bullet!"
When nearly 20 "raindrop cannons" were mounted, some solid lead warheads were stuffed into the chamber of the "raindrop cannons" by the gunners. With a volley of 20 "raindrop cannons", the tower was immediately skewed. The people inside stopped shooting, and some sharp screams came from the slowly skewed and did not live in the falling tower.
The soldiers on the top of the tower jumped down from the tower for survival probably to escape. Then he took the lengthened place and fell under the city wall.
"Did you see it? Did you see it? He Qi, call the soldiers below, you will take people to seize that tower, and I will take some others to the tower on the left to see it. If it is broken, it will be a big trouble for us!"
Around the time of war, people can always let go of their usual problems. Whether they are alcoholic or lustful, they are all the same. Of course, except for drug users, in a sense, they are no longer considered human.
When Zhao Xu came to the tower on the left, the situation was already quite bad. Some soldiers who came along the city wall were holding a long wooden stake and planning to use it to break the door of the tower. Although the "Sky Thunder" kept exploding from the front and back, the injured fell to the ground with shrill shouts. The arrows shot from the side, causing many people to scream.
But the city wall was too wide, and there were quite a few people who could come. Zhao Xu could no longer feel scared at this moment, because when he stood on the top of the tower, he could see that there seemed to be countless soldiers in the lower city, which became chaotic under the continuous bombardment of his thunderbolt cannons.
The entire city of Bosaro was already revealed before him at this time. A house, a group of civilians who were frightened by the war. This gave him hope, because it represents population, wealth, and his future.
"Come on, find two wooden stakes for Mr. Xu!"
No one knew what he was going to do, but all the soldiers admired him at this moment. After all, he was the commander of the first army. At this critical moment, fighting with them here is enough to make them rely on Zhao Xu.
In the blink of an eye, someone found two wooden pillars as thick as that. Zhao Xu asked them to tie them together and set them obliquely on the top of the tower. Then he picked up a "Pi Li Bull" himself, lit the fuse with the incense in his hand, and then let go, the "Pi Li Bull" rolled out along the slide he made temporarily.
"boom……"
The "thunderbolt bomb" the size of a coconut is much more powerful than the "thunderbolt" the size of a fist. The violent explosion sounded among the dense crowd, not only greatly increased its lethality, but even the explosion's air waves directly caused several soldiers to fly off the city. Faced with such power, the Bosaro soldiers who launched the attack began to be scared.
Not only were they afraid, Zhao Xu on the top of the tower was also startled by the shaking tower. He didn't know that the "Pi Lie Bomb" exploded at close range, with such amazing power. Seeing that the dense Bosaro below was cleared out, Zhao Xu picked up another one. Before the Bosaro soldiers below the city tower escaped, another thunderbolt bomb fell to their feet with Mars.
“Run…”
The soldiers screamed, feeling extremely distressed. This is not something they should fight against, they do not have the ability to deal with such things. The solid armor cannot be blocked, and the beautiful shield is even more useless. The only way is to leave, the farther away from this terrible thing, the better.
Zhao Xu didn't know that his behavior tonight was called occupying the commanding heights. In the hundreds of years of his later generations, the commanding heights were often a place that must be seized even when major casualties were taken. The reason was that when artillery occupied the commanding heights, the coverage would increase a lot. What he was doing at this moment was exactly in line with the requirements of the battle.
With the crisis of the tower on the left side of the city, the tower on the right was also taken down by He Qi under the bombardment of the "Raindrop Cannon". When the "Raindrop Cannon" moved its position and began to bombard the gate tower of the main city, Bershallo Governor Bahayi and his men left there. After all, with the thin wooden board, the lead balls as big as the "Raindrop Cannon" can't stop the lead balls as big as the bowl of "Raindrop Cannon". Although the hardness of the lead balls is smaller, when it hits the target, the bricks and stones will burst directly.
The entire urn city fell into Zhao Xu's hands before dawn. However, the battle was not over at this time, because Zhao Xu conveyed orders to the back.
"It is said that my generals will ask for someone to send thunderbolts. There are also people who are looking for projectiles for ordinary stone throwers in the entire city and stone throwers that can be repaired. Today we want the people of Bosaro to see. If you don't surrender, I will blow the whole city of Bosaro into pieces! In addition, the chefs will make something that can be eaten in their hands, and also set up a pot on the city wall to make strong tea. I want to beat Bosaro before sleeping!"
Although Zhao Xu had red eyes at this moment, he had no intention of dozing. From the order he issued, it can be seen that he did not intend to give the Bersalo people any breathing opportunity today. Today he wanted them to choose their future, either surrender to be a submissive people, or become a prisoner and sold to be a prisoner, otherwise there would be only a dead end.
