Chapter 257
"boom!"

The first stone throw fell on the head of Yangzhou City, Gu Yigao's heart tightened.

Seeing that the stone is at least fifty catties, it is so powerful that it can already pose a threat to the city wall of Yangzhou.More than half of the troops under the city wore Huaxia military uniforms. No wonder the Jurchens learned the catapults of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The north wall is okay, it should be able to withstand the bombing of the catapult.But the city wall on the south side was smashed by the "Tianmu", and the city wall being repaired now is just a show.

If the Jurchens discovered this fatal weakness, they would be finished with a catapult.

The catapult under the city must find a way to kill it at the north gate.

Gu Yigao also has a trick to press the bottom of the box, but he can't use it yet.Gu Yigao had to wait until the Jurchens actually launched a general attack and could not easily escape from the battle before Gu Yigao could use that big killer weapon.

"boom!!"

Every tens of breaths, a stone bullet fell on the head of Yangzhou city, smashing countless bricks and rocks.

Under the command of Gu Yigao, the Yangzhou garrison endured dormancy and absolutely refused to show their faces.

When the catapults shot a stick of incense indiscriminately under the city, the rumbling drums sounded.

"kill!!"

The siege finally begins!

Gu Yigao squinted his eyes and looked at it, his chest was full of anger.The shouts of killing in the city were resounding, and they were all from the Huaxia Army.

They were wearing thick battle armor, carrying shields, and rushed forward with siege ladders.

In the gap between the military formations, many ordinary people rushed forward with sandbags on their backs.Behind them is the Jurchen holding a long spear. As long as the common people take a step back, the spear will stab them mercilessly.

The Yangzhou army threw rat weapons and did not dare to fire arrows.

"General, what should I do?"

"Dog thief!" Gu Yigao stared angrily, "Get the leopard head ready to fight!"

Then Gu Yigao turned his head and asked He Dana who was beside him: "Old He, is Hong Tianlei ready?"

"General Gu, do you really want to use this thing? Use one shot and one shot less."

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up." Gu Yigao Mao looked to the north from the battlement: "You have Zhang Liang's plan, and I have a wall ladder."

Soon, three tiger-squatting mortars were erected at the head of the city. This thing was a lifelong invention.The range is [-] to [-] steps, and it should be able to hit the catapult when mounted on the city wall.

During a brief stay in Yangzhou, under the guidance of Lu Yuan, Bisheng invented this "Tiger Crouching Cannon" on the basis of the Huaxia Dynasty's firearm "Booming Thunder". through.

Mortars made 1000 years in advance!
I saw nine soldiers from the Tiger Guard Battalion, working in groups of three, first erecting the barrel of the gun and hurriedly completing the loading of gunpowder. Then they flattened the barrel, carefully inserted an iron ball into it, and then slowly raised it. The barrel is fixed with a bracket.

After doing all this, everyone was sweating.This thing kills one thousand enemies and damages itself eight hundred.

That boy Bisheng made such a disaster, but he ran away with Mr. Lu.During the first few days of artillery testing in the Tiger Guard Camp, two of the three tiger squatting cannons were blown up.Gunner Erdonkey was almost killed.

"Listen to my order!" Gu Yigao commanded, "All three groups aim at the catapult."

The three groups of people quickly adjusted the angle, as for the distance, it all depends on feeling.

The second donkey shouted at the top of his voice, "Light it up!"

The three gunners lit the fire together, and the heads of the fire immediately scattered and fell down together.

"collapse!"

"collapse!"

"collapse!"

"boom!"

The three iron balls drew three flames and flew out whistling.The three tiger squatting guns lived up to expectations and blasted one. Due to the experience of the gun crew, only one unlucky guy was slightly injured this time.

All three artillery pieces missed, but the fireball hit the rear of the enemy's formation, directly plowing out three blood paths.

All the Jurchens died.

"Good!!" The artillery team at the top of the city cheered happily.

"boom!"

The catapult under the city launched a counterattack, and a stone bomb fell a few meters beside the gun crew, and everyone hurriedly got down.

"What a fart!" Gu Yigao's purpose was to bomb the catapult, "Let it go again!"

The artillery crew hurriedly packed the barrel.The second donkey didn't care about the hot barrel of the gun, so he wrapped his hands in his clothes and held the muzzle of the gun to facilitate the filling of the gun.

Soon, the two tiger squat guns were reloaded again.The distance was not enough just now, so I added more gunpowder this time.

"Aim~aim!" Gu Yigao was very nervous.

Erluzi recalled the trick of firing the cannon that Bisheng told him before he left. The point on the barrel of the cannon must overlap the target to hit it accurately.No, no, we have squinted eyes, we have to turn a little to the left.

Aimed!Ready!

The two donkeys just felt that they were right, but found that the bracket of the cannon barrel was broken, and the barrel would shake as soon as he let go.

Life, you swindler, don’t you dare make something stronger!
Anyone who cheats can join the Flying Tigers!The second donkey said in his heart, we have chicken breasts, and we still have a little squint, so what.I can't be a big shot like Mr. Lu, nor can I join the Flying Tigers like I did all my life. As long as I hit this shot, I will be a hero!

"Get ready~ let go!"

Gu Yigao gave an order, and another group of gunners lit the fire, and then fell down.

The second donkey also ignited the fire, but he didn't move at all. He held the barrel with both hands, just like cast iron.

He Dana found out, and he yelled, "Er Donkey, you are crazy, lie down!!"

The second donkey didn't turn his head and grinned: "Hit!"

"Boom! Boom!"

The two squatting tiger cannons exploded at the same time, and the two donkeys instantly became bloody men.

Two fireballs roared out, one still hit the crowd, and the other, like a precision-guided missile, drew a perfect parabola and hit the base of the catapult.

"collapse!"

The catapult crashed to pieces.

"Beautiful!!" Gu Yigao turned his head excitedly, and found Erluzi lying on his back in a pool of blood, the smile on his face had froze.

"I hate you grandma!" Gu Yigao roared angrily, "Brothers, kill these sons of bitches."

The Tiger Guards camp dormant under the city wall showed their heads one after another, pouring their anger down the city with various firearms, bows and arrows.

The traitor army and the Jurchens under the city suffered heavy casualties, as did the northern civilians who were driven to fill the river.

The Jurchens had no intention of letting those people live.People who were lucky enough to rush to the moat and throw sandbags would be stabbed to death by the Jurchens behind them and kicked into the moat.

After half an hour of fierce fighting, the traitor army, with their shields on their backs, insisted on using sandbags and the dead bodies of the common people as a base to build a siege ladder to the other side of the moat, and quickly built a simple bridge to get out.

"Woo~!"

The horns of the Jurchen clan rang out, and a dozen Jurchen warriors with gnarled muscles and wild beasts rushed out from the rear. They wore steel helmets and thick leather armor, and hugged a huge ram, stepping bravely on the ground. The bridge rushed to the city gate.

At the same time, the strong bows and crossbows in the Jurchen formation were firing at random to cover them.

There is no ready-made hot oil in the city of Yangzhou, and there is no way to take the Jurchen "human flesh siege vehicle" for a while.

"Quick! Hold against the city gate!"

"boom!"

The bumper hit the wooden city gate, dust and broken wood scattered all over.

The inner door of Yangzhou City Gate opened, and hundreds of soldiers from the Tiger Guard Battalion rushed in and blocked the outer door with their bodies.

Lu Shuang and Lu Quan were also dragged in and pressed against the wooden door.

"boom!!"

Every time the wooden door trembled, everyone felt that their internal organs were displaced.

"Father!! Here we come!!"

The strong men from the north and south courtyards of the Lu family also rushed into the city gate.Of course they are afraid of death, but their relatives are on the front line, how dare they not come?

Lu Shuang and Lu Quan burst into tears. In fact, they really wanted to leave, but they didn't want to stay!
