Artillery Battalion Position.

Cheng Tianhu watched everything that happened in front of him with great interest, with a confident smile on his face, and he felt as if he had a cannon in his hand.

At this moment, Cheng Tianhu suddenly saw the tower above the city wall. Xia Wu and An Yong must be hiding there. Thinking that An Yong had dared to curse the cute Xiaofan Xiaoxi before, Cheng Tianhu immediately shouted: "Liu Gang!"

Liu Gang, the leader of the artillery battalion team, came to Cheng Tianhu in one stride and asked, "What are your orders, Major General?"

Cheng Tianhu pointed at the tower on the city wall, "Liu Gang, do you have a way to directly destroy the enemy's tower with artillery?"

"No problem, I promise to complete the task."

Cheng Tianhu's face turned stern, "Give this general a fucking blow right away."

"Yes, General!"

Liu Gang cupped his hands and saluted, turned around and left quickly...

Then, a small group of ten artillery pieces moved forward twenty steps individually, then aimed at the tower and fired. Ten large iron balls flew straight towards the tower.

"Rumble..."

After a loud noise, the tower above the city wall collapsed. Xia Wuanyong, who was discussing countermeasures on the tower, was buried alive in the ruins on the spot. The sergeants standing around the tower were also affected by the collapsed bricks and suffered heavy losses.

Ling Shuai and Gua Lu, who were directing operations on the city wall, immediately led people to search and rescue Xia Wu and An Yong...

A quarter of an hour later.

Ling Shuai and Gua Yong finally rescued Xia Wu and An Yong from the ruins. However, Xia Wu's leg was hit by a beam and he might never be able to stand up again. An Yong's face was cut with a big gash. , the bleeding was very miserable.

Xia Wu and An Yong were carried off the city wall on stretchers by sergeants and sent directly to Fengqiu County Governor's Mansion for treatment.

"Boom boom boom..."

At this moment, three thousand hot air balloons from the Feitian Camp began to appear over Fengqiu City, and intensive explosions began to sound in the city. Countless houses were blown into ruins by bombs falling from the sky.

At this time, Fengqiu City was full of soldiers on the surface. The common people in the city had already hid in their underground secret rooms. When Xia Wu and An Yong arrived at the county governor's house in a carriage, there was only a scene in front of them. Ruins, the military doctors had no choice but to send the two of them to the secret room under him in the Sheriff's Mansion for treatment.

The soldiers of the Feitian Battalion each had a telescope, and bombs were thrown specifically at areas where the enemy was densely populated. After a round of bombing, the defenders in the city suffered heavy casualties.

The artillery battalion kept firing outside the city, and the Feitian battalion's hot air balloons also began to take off in small groups one by one. The explosions in Fengqiu City never stopped.

Time passed little by little, and the sky gradually darkened. Feitian Battalion and Artillery Battalion began to cease fighting. Fengqiu City became especially quiet after nightfall.

The underground secret room of the Sheriff's Mansion.

Xia Wu and An Yong's mental state improved a lot after being treated by military doctors.

"Doctor Mu, when will I be able to stand up?"

Mu Xiang quickly raised his hand and said, "Back to His Highness Prince Chang, your leg bone has been broken by a beam. I have limited medical skills, so please forgive me for your sins."

Xia Wu's face darkened, "You mean, I will never be able to stand up from now on, right?"

Mu Xiang shook his head quickly, "No, no, no! Your Highness, Prince Chang, I have fixed your thigh with a wooden board. As long as the leg bone can heal, the prince can still stand up."

"Doctor Mu, based on your experience, what is the chance that my leg bone will heal? I want you to tell the truth."

"Less than 10%."

Xia Wu waved his hand with a disappointed look on his face, "Okay, you go down first!"

"My lord, resign!"

Mu Xiang cupped his hands, turned and left the secret room.

"His Royal Highness, Prince Chang, now that things have come to this, you also want to be more open-minded." An Yong comforted him.

Xia Wu cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, General An. I'm fine. I just can't stand up. I can command the army even if I'm sitting on a chair. Yan Jun can't even hope to capture Fengqiu City. General An, is your face okay?" ?”

An Yong nodded, "I feel much better after Dr. Mu gave me the medicine. I don't know what the damage will be like today. If there are too many casualties, we may have to ask for help from Tianwu City."

"The destructive power of Tenbei's hot air balloon and bomb combination is too great, and the casualties will definitely be huge. Fortunately, we dug the secret room in advance, otherwise you and I wouldn't even have a place to heal."

At this moment, Captain Xiang Yi of the Imperial City Division hurriedly walked into the secret room, clasped his hands and saluted, "Your Highness, Prince Chang, the results of today's battle damage have been calculated. More than 8,000 of our troops were killed by bombs, and were killed by artillery fire." More than 2,000 people were killed and 20,000 were injured, including more than 6,000 who were seriously injured and disabled."

The battle losses of nearly 20,000 people were still within the range that Xia Wu could bear. "Captain Xiang, do you have any countermeasures against Tianbingwei's hot air balloon and bomb attacks?"

When Xia Wu asked this question, Xiang Yi also looked embarrassed. The hot air balloon was at least three hundred meters above the ground, and bows and arrows were simply out of reach. However, apart from bows and arrows, he could not think of any other way to attack.

"His Royal Highness King Huichang, the hot air balloon flew too high. With the means we currently have, we cannot cause effective damage to the hot air balloon."

Xia Wu shook his head helplessly, "Lieutenant Xiang, you mean we have to continue to be bombed tomorrow, right?"

Xiang Yi bowed his hand again, "Your Highness Prince Chang, although we can't do anything with the hot air balloon, we can find a way to confuse the bomb thrower on the hot air balloon and make the bomb lose its accuracy, so as to reduce the casualties of our army."

Xia Wu's face lit up, "Lieutenant Xiang, have you thought of any good ideas?"

An Yong's eyes lit up, "Captain Xiang, this is a good idea. Please tell me your clever plan. If it is feasible, I will implement it immediately tomorrow morning."

"His Royal Highness, General An, my method is to light bonfires everywhere in the city to generate as much smoke as possible. The smoke will rise and block the sight of the Yan army soldiers. They will not be able to see clearly what is going on in the city, and the lethality of the bomb will naturally be greatly reduced. ”

"Hahaha……"

"What a good plan! Captain Xiang, if your method is effective, I will personally ask for your credit in front of His Majesty. I will leave full authority to your Imperial City Department to light the bonfire. Go and prepare immediately! "

"Yes, His Highness Prince Chang! I will supervise this matter immediately and ensure that nothing goes wrong."

He bowed his hand to Yi, turned around and left quickly...

Finally, there was a way to deal with hot air balloons and bombs. An Yong was very happy, "Your Highness, Prince Chang, it is so frustrating to be beaten passively. We must find a way to fight back as soon as possible, otherwise the number of soldiers will decrease with more attacks." If the morale of the army is unstable and there is another mutiny, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Xia Wu nodded, "General An is right. We really can't go on like this. We must let our soldiers see the hope of victory, otherwise there may be a mutiny."

The two looked at each other, and then the entire underground secret room began to quiet down. Xia Wu and An Yong were both thinking urgently about how to fight back...
