Chapter 2290: The beacon fire even Jiang Ming's horn bow
In the end, they simply stopped going down to the city and simply escorted the people to sleep on the top of the city... Of course, every twenty or thirty minutes, a shell hitting the city wall was squeezing, and a loud bang made them unable to sleep.
All night was chaotic, and all the Jin army had been red with their eyes!...As for the Jin army commander Hei Han, he was extremely nervous, feeling dry eyes, sore joints, and tired.
Finally, he finally ended this morning. Heihan was on the top of the city and looked down at the darkness of the faint light. He was suddenly shocked! He saw a huge monster appearing about thirty feet away from the city, which was in the middle of Huizhou Chengtou and the river bank! When he looked down carefully, as the brightness around him became higher and higher, he slowly saw clearly.
It turned out that this thing turned out to be a ship! It was obvious that this was a medium-sized cargo ship, about two feet, six or seven feet long from beginning to end.
As soon as he saw its mottled and old appearance, Heihan knew that it was not a Tongzhou warship at all, but a merchant ship that he didn't know where the enemy was brought from.
Now, the boat was somehow brought to the shore by them, and its belly was buckled to the ground, like a dead fish belly hanging on the river bank.
What the hell is this?
Heihan looked at this thing, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong! He summoned his archers and asked them to use rockets to shoot at this thing under the city.
The distance of thirty feet is approximately equivalent to ninety meters in later generations.
At this distance, only archers with strong abilities can shoot the target.
So the Golden Arrowers lit rockets wrapped in oilcloths on the arrows on the bonfire, and pulled their bows together and shot towards the ship.
Heihan thought to himself: No matter what the enemy army on the other side had, he burned the ship in the end, and the Tongzhou army would have no choice! At this time, Heihan was still waiting for the ship to be ignited under the rocket's shooting, but then he found that the feather arrow with fire had hit the hull until the entire shaft was burned to pieces.
The fire slowly went out, and the boat did not burn! Heihan suddenly remembered something: after a long time, the boat was facing up, and the rocket shot the bottom of the boat that had been soaked by the river.
Those extremely wet boat boards are probably not even lit with torches, let alone the little flames of the Rockets?
Since this was the case, he had no choice but to curse and had to give up his plan to destroy the ship.
...Then, just as the sky was bright, the Song army under the city actually pulled off the attacking side again! In this day and night, the Jin army had been tossed countless times, so when the Jin army watched these Tongzhou soldiers come and go, they no longer felt anything.
However, in order to prevent the other party's surprise attack, under Heihan's order, they once again whipped the people on the city wall with their guns, allowing them to stand up and block in front of them.
As for the other side, at the broken wall.
The people of Huizhou were also driven away and blocked the gap, so as not to be raided by Tongzhou soldiers.
Now all of these people are tied upside down with their hands, and they are kneeling in rows of large areas on the valley slope.
At the same time, there were hundreds of Jin soldiers beside them, holding spears and sharp blades to guard these people, so as not to escape.
At this moment, all of these people were so scared that their faces were pale, and their eyes were looking around with fear.
They knew very well that as long as the opposite army began to attack the city, before the Jin army suffered casualties, they would die first!... At this moment, the Jin army in the city was still thinking about when the Tongzhou army's feint attack would be removed, so they could rest for a while... But at this moment, they suddenly saw the cannons on the ship, and once again let out a shocking roar! This time the cannons were fired, which immediately scared Heihan on the city! Heihan thought to himself: This was a volley of nearly a hundred cannons, what was the opposite?
Do they want the lives of these people?
But what he didn't expect was that after the artillery on the ship emitted flames and white smoke, the line of shells fired was very low.
I saw that these shells almost flew to the broken ship on the river bank and fell to the ground with a jingle.
I saw a large number of shells rolling and jumping on the ground, like a group of jumping rabbits, starting to jump around! Some of them were on the spot where the shells were caught, and were bounced high by the stones on the ground, and then fell back to the ground.
Some people roll around and run everywhere.
Several of them even rolled all the way to the base of Huizhou City.
When they approached, Heihan suddenly realized that the shells were not round solid iron balls like they did yesterday, but were extremely strange cylindrical.
At the same time, when Heihan was secretly frightened.
Then the cylindrical shells suddenly made a "puff" sound and began to spray smoke outwards!... Heihan saw the closest jar clearly. The guy seemed to be made of iron sheet, with holes as thick as fingers on it. The smoke came out of the hole! "Be careful of the enemy's attack on the city!"
Heihan suddenly shouted! Then, the Jin army on the entire city wall was shocked and they all picked up the weapons in their hands.
Especially the Jin army at the gap in the city wall, they all knew that once the enemy began to charge, the first target was the earth slope that could directly cross the city wall.
So they all stared at the smoke in the distance.
He was about to wait for the enemy to appear on the other side to slaughter the people of Huizhou in his hands! At this moment, Heihan was extremely nervous. His right hand holding the long sword was sweating! In fact, the smoke was not heavy now, and Heihan could still see the shadows of the enemy fleet on the river.
Moreover, if the Tongzhou army rushed over, Heihan could see the Tongzhou soldiers on the top of the city.
So Heihan looked into the smoke without blinking, just waiting for the other side to approach!... But at this moment, suddenly, at the gap in the city wall, among the people who were being detained, a figure in white jumped up! Suddenly, he saw this man shouting loudly: "My fellow villagers! Isn't it going to die sooner or later if this continues?
