Chapter 139 Artillery Attack
These countless Daqin warriors are now panicking and running around in a mess.

But now, right beside them, pieces of ground were suddenly blasted apart like an earth dragon turning over, with flames and iron pieces flying around, turning these soldiers dry one by one.

Seeing this scene, Li Xin was dumbfounded all of a sudden.

"artillery!"

"This is their artillery!"

"And why can their artillery shoot so far?"

Now that Daqin hasn't come up with such a thing, they can only attack with fire, and they can only burn at close range, and they will be easily discovered.

But now, the artillery of Gongga City can be fired at them from a distance, treating them as targets.

Moreover, it was so powerful that it knocked down a large area, a large area of ​​people and horses.

This completely subverts Li Xin's three views!
How the hell did this work out?

How can there be such a powerful thing?
"Impossible? Isn't it right? Why is it like this?"

Li Xin still can't believe what is happening in front of him.

Originally, he was full of confidence and wanted to avenge his shame and take Gongga City in one fell swoop, but this time, his face was cracked again.

"Retreat! Retreat! The whole army retreats thirty miles!"

Seeing that this situation continues, the casualties of the soldiers will become more and more serious, and Li Xin has no choice but to order a retreat.

If things go on like this, there is no need to fight this battle, just these artillery fires can kill all 20 of them here.

………………

Gongga City, thirty miles away.

Li Xin went through hardships to reorganize the 20-strong army.

The shelling just outside Gonggar City caused Li Xin's men to lose more than 6000 men, and the wounded were all gone.

Li Xin's face was icy cold.

In his whole life, he joined the army as a young man, but he made some mistakes in the battle against Chu State, but he was ashamed in the end. He has also experienced hundreds of battles in his life, and he has been trained countless times in the battlefield. He is good at leading soldiers and fighting, and brother Zheng has always loved him so much that he made his two daughters marry brother Zheng's son.

Therefore, over time, a proud and conceited character has long been formed in his heart.

However, starting from Wannian City, he suffered another shadow of failure.

With Li Xin's current personality and conduct, how could he be willing to let it go.

He felt that he would be defeated because they underestimated the strength of Wannian City at the beginning, and their understanding of Wannian City was not comprehensive enough.

But indeed, I have to admit that the power of the crossbow array in Wannian City is indeed great.

So in Li Xin's view, as long as the crossbow array in Wannian City is solved, there is nothing that cannot be taken down.

Therefore, for more than a year, he has been looking for a way to restrain the Wannian City Crossbow Formation.

Then, he found someone to create this kind of rattan card together.

After seeing the defensive ability of the rattan card, Li Xin is full of confidence in going to Wannian City.

And with the permission of His Majesty the First Emperor, he went to the south of Lingnan, where there are many rattans, and a large number of craftsmen were called to make these rattan plaques.

Originally, they thought that with the strong defensive ability of the rattan card, they could take down the grassland and Wannian City in one fell swoop.

But they didn't expect that in the end they would underestimate the strength of the enemy again.

It took him more than a year to find a solution to restrain the crossbow array.

But now, the opponent no longer used the crossbow array, but used artillery instead, and it was still a powerful artillery with a long range.

This time the artillery came down, and the casualties were nothing.

However, this time when the artillery came down, Li Xin was shrouded in a sense of despair. He felt that all his events in the past year seemed to be in vain.

No matter how powerful the defensive ability of the rattan card is, it cannot withstand the power of the artillery.

Li Xin was very unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.

After shaking his head slightly, Li Xin eased his mood, and said to the soldiers on the side: "The enemy has extremely powerful artillery to defend the city, you should send someone to inform the lords and General Meng Tian immediately."

"Here!"

The soldiers around Li Xin immediately took orders and passed over.

After the soldiers left, Li Xin also began to think about countermeasures.

Although Gongga City's artillery is very powerful, it is not impossible.

If he had known that Gongga City would have such powerful artillery, he would definitely not have let the army carry out a full-scale siege on Gongga City, so he was beaten and fled in embarrassment with heavy casualties.

No matter how powerful the artillery is, no matter how far the range is, there will still be a limit.

And looking at the artillery on Gongga City, it is obvious that it is fixed on the city wall, and it can only shoot in coverage, and it is impossible to shoot accurately.

Li Xin decided to arrange a large army, spread out, and began to attack the city with a unit of 500 people.

In this way, no matter how powerful the artillery of Gongga City is, there is a certain limit to the harm it can cause to the soldiers under him.

Thinking of this, Li Xin didn't hesitate at all, and decided to do it directly by ordering.

Half a day later, Li Xin's army was directly divided into many teams of 500 people.

The distance between each team is at least 60 meters.

Li Xin decided to use this method to attack Gongga City.

Just when Li Xin was about to order to continue to attack Gongga City, the soldiers who were sent by Li Xin to deliver the order had also returned.

Li Xin was stunned when he saw his own soldier came back. Before Li Xin could ask what was going on, the soldier rushed to Li Xin anxiously.

"Report! General! Emergency military situation!"

As he said that, he already held five bamboo slips of the military report in his hand.

Li Xin was a little dazed, it only took half a day, and he was holding five bamboo slips of the military report.

What exactly is going on?

Li Xin didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly opened the bamboo slips in the hands of the soldiers to read.

After seeing this, Li Xin was dumbfounded.

Because the contents of the five military newspaper bamboo slips are very clear, just tell Li Xin, be smart and retreat quickly.

Li Xin was a little confused, so he didn't know what the four young masters and Meng Tian wanted to do?
How long has he been here?Are you going to let him withdraw?

What's going on?
Li Xin looked at the soldiers and asked, "Do you know what happened? Where do you get these military reports from?"

There was a trace of anxiety on the face of the soldiers, and he said: "General, the villain met General Meng Tian and some people who sent urgent reports on the road. When it comes to a large group of enemy troops, the number is huge."

"Several lords and General Meng Tian have ordered the entire army to retreat."

Li Xin immediately stared at Da Da's acting skills, "What?? Withdrew??"
