Live as the emperor

Chapter 83
"I'm going, is this guy so good?" Chen Guang could almost feel the vibration from below him.

Although this city wall is not as majestic as the palace wall, it is at least ten feet thick, and it takes a lot of things to hit it like this.

It must be an illusion.

But the siege thing below is really big, just like the mortar of the later generations. It is a cart with four wooden wheels. The self-weight of the thing is estimated to be one or two tons. Dozens of people pushed it up, and then inertially slammed into the door. It is definitely a heavy weapon in this era.

Although the city gate is thick, it cannot withstand such an impact. Once the city gate is broken, the defenders in the city will definitely not be able to withstand Chen Jun's attack.Don't say that the generals of the country are brave, that's all bullshit, people's strength is limited, maybe there is no problem with one against two, but what about one against ten?One against one hundred?If you can still fight, it is a fantasy world.

Of course Hong Jiang couldn't let them crash down like this, so he asked people to pour oil on them.

The oil can make the siege vehicle very slippery, and it will easily fall apart after being hit a few times. Second, it can make the hands of the cart slippery, making it even more difficult to push the cart.

Third, after pouring out the oil, Hong Jiang threw a torch down.

Although the bumping part of the siege vehicle was covered with iron sheets, the other parts were still made of wood. After being drenched in oil, the moment it came into contact with the torch, it immediately burst into flames. The people who pushed the cart were already greasy. After arriving at Mars, they burned quickly. They screamed, ran, or rolled on the ground, trying to extinguish the fire on their bodies, but the ground was also oily, and when they touched the fire on their bodies, they immediately joined together.

There was a sea of ​​flames in front of the city gate, and there was a smell of scorching in the thick black smoke. The shrill shouts made people's teeth ache, but the voice quickly died down, because these people had already died. Burned to ashes.

Only the siege engine was still burning hot, and Chen Guang seemed to be able to feel the heat even on the tower.

The sea of ​​flames also drove back nearby soldiers.Naturally, the people on the tower would not let go of such an opportunity. Feather arrows shot down like money, and in the process of retreating, an unknown number of corpses fell down.

Chen Guo had no choice but to withdraw his troops without taking down the city gate.

This battle lasted for more than an hour. Looking down from the city tower, it can be said that there are corpses all over the field. I don't know how many troops Chen Jun lost in this battle.

This is what siege warfare is like, and a huge price needs to be paid. After all, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Breaking through the city gate is not an easy task.

Seeing the river of blood flowing down the city, Chen Guang felt a little dizzy, so he quickly stepped back and sat back in his seat.War is so cruel, life on the battlefield is like dust, like ants, worthless.

After a while, Hong Jiang came over and said to Chen Guang: "His Royal Highness, they are retreating."

Chen Guang smiled slightly and said, "Isn't that great?"

However, Hong Jiang couldn't be happy, and said: "This is only their first attack. There must be more elements of testing. Tomorrow's attack may be more violent. We still need to be careful."

He was very cautious, and he didn't get carried away with the victory in front of him, enjoying the demeanor of a veteran.

Chen Guang also knew that Chen Guo would not give up just like this. After all, he came here with great force and force. How could there be such a little movement? What difference does it have from taking off his pants and just peeing.

"Since we can let them withdraw once, we can let them withdraw a second time. You don't have to worry." Chen Guang said easily.

He knows his position in the army of Qian State, just like Chen Bao's position in Chen Jun's heart. It is like a spiritual pillar. As long as he is there, everyone will feel at ease. As long as he is calm, other people will be calm. down.

So whether it is true or false, he has to act very relaxed.

How did Taizu teach us?We must despise the enemy strategically and pay attention to the enemy tactically.

Chen Guang is in charge of strategy, soldiers are in charge of tactics, well, the division of labor is clear.

Hong Jiang said: "They will definitely plan their next attack carefully, and we don't know what conspiracy there will be."

Chen Guang smiled and said: "He has a good plan. I have a wall ladder. What are you afraid of? If you are well prepared, you can deal with them."

After confirming that Chen Jun had retreated, Hong Jiang sent people out to clean up the battlefield. After the battlefield was cleaned up, Chen Guang ordered people to get out of the city loads of things mixed with crushed charcoal, saltpeter powder, and gravel. Evenly spread on the open space outside the city, and then spread a layer of straw.Hong Jiang said he couldn't understand it. Chen Guang explained that it was because he couldn't see blood, so he asked someone to deal with it.

After a day like this, Chen Guang was surprised that Chen Jun did not launch a surprise attack that night.

Does this guy know how to fight or sneak attack? So what's the difference between him and a salted fish?
The next morning, Chen Jun began to gather, as if it was a replica of yesterday.This made Chen Guang speechless. What is it all about? Do you know how to fight?

This time, Chen Jun did not call for formation, but went straight to the strong point. He held up his shield and ladder and started to rush towards the city wall. This was because he wanted to go up to the city wall head-on.

The tens of thousands of people rushing up is still very spectacular. They held their shields high, pointed at the feather arrows of the soldiers of the Qian State, shouted to cheer themselves up, and approached the city wall.

Sure enough, today's attack was much faster than yesterday's.

After sacrificing an unknown number of soldiers, someone finally got close to the city wall, and they put the ladder on the city wall.

The ladder is said to have been invented by Lu Ban, and it was specially used to attack cities.

However, Hong Jiang was not a vegetarian, so of course he couldn't just let these ladders be erected like this. He ordered the soldiers to throw down the stones that had been prepared.

When a stone hits the ladder, the ladder will be broken, and if it hits a person, the brain will burst and die on the spot. The effect is quite obvious.

A ladder happened to stand in front of Chen Guang, and the soldiers in charge of protecting Chen Guang rushed up and pushed the ladder away.The ladder frame was so high that it was inherently unstable, but when pushed, it immediately fell to the side.

The deafening shouts of killing came from below, which sounded blood-boiling-but it was of no use, and Chen Jun fell down one after another.

Chen Guang asked someone to bring a torch, and he threw the torch down.

The torch ignited the dry grass on the ground, and then the clothes of Chen Jun's soldiers.But this was not Chen Guang's intention, at most it was an extra gain.

Burning straw, then ignited charcoal powder, followed by saltpeter.

"Boom..."

A loud bang sounded without warning.Immediately afterwards, the explosions seemed to have a chain reaction, becoming more and more numerous and dense.There is still a bright sun hanging in the golden sky, but the light of the flame still makes people dare not look directly.

boom……

There was a loud noise from the ground, and immediately countless flying sand splashed in all directions, and a thick gunpowder smoke rose up, and the nearby bandits were immediately blown away.

Then, one explosion after another exploded like a string of pearls.

boom……

boom……

boom……

what is this……

Whether it was Chen Guo's army or Qian Guo's army watching this scene from the tower, they all had the same question.

In this era when firecrackers have not yet appeared, it is obvious that this sudden loud noise, as well as the flames and flying sand and stones raised by the loud noise, are enough to make people dumbfounded.

The charging Chen Jun had already turned his back on his back. The explosion came from under their feet. The thick shield in their hands was useless at all. Instead, it became a burden when they ran away. The flames rose and the blasted flying sand was enough at this time. fatal.

There is also the huge thick smoke, which makes people unable to tell the direction at all. People are crying in the smoke, suffocating, some people squat down directly, and some run away with their heads in their hands.

The sky is falling...

The ground has fallen...

People in this era, their cognition, I'm afraid that's all there is to it.

In their view, it was more like God's anger, or the anger of the gods on the nearby mountains.

In any case, this is not something that human beings can resist.

As a result, Chen's army was in chaos, and there were countless people who fled and trampled on each other.

Although Chen Bao in the distance was not the victim of this series of explosions, the rising flames and thick black smoke, as well as the continuous screams that came into his ears, made him understand that today's self, It seems to have lost again.

Although I don't know what kind of demons Qianguo's army used, but now is obviously not the time to explore this. The explosion is still going on, and the burning trend is still expanding. Chen Guo's army was forced to retreat from the city wall, and it never happened again opportunity close.

Chen Bao looked angrily at the shadow of the Qianguo army on the tower in the distance, his teeth almost bleeding.In the end, I had to order Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

"Run away, God is angry." Someone shouted, and the words spread like a plague, even faster than the burning hay on the ground.

The sky was the most revered by ancient people. If the Lord of Heaven is angry, no one can afford to offend him. As a mortal body, the only thing he can do other than offering sacrifices to appease the Lord of Heaven is to escape, as far away as possible.

This kind of chaos, I'm afraid it may not be the lethality of these things in front of us. This is the instinct of human beings, the fear of the unknown.

It is conceivable that the ancestors of human beings would be terrified when they saw the thunder rolling in the sky, and the lightning struck the forest and ignited the flames produced by the trees.

And now... it's the same thing. When thunder explodes and smoke fills the air, even if these things have limited damage, they are enough to cause panic for most people.

Panic spread, followed by fleeing, followed by trampling each other.

This time, Chen Jun retreated quickly and ran away with his head in his arms.The sound of the explosion was still continuous, and it took a quarter of an hour before it gradually dissipated.Outside the city, there was a mess.
