"Yang Zhi, Wu Song, Hua Rong, Lu Da, click up the troops of your troops and prepare to attack the city!"

An hour later, before Zhou Run's surrender was waiting, Wang Han just sighed and issued an order.

"Subordinates receive the order."

Hearing this, the few people immediately responded loudly, quite excited. They were not as much as Wang Han thought. For them, this meant that the time for meritorious service was up.

They were all confident about capturing Zhourun City. After all, the weapons and equipment given to them by Wang Han were the best. The soldiers' training was the strictest and most difficult, and even the food was very rich, and there were new training methods provided by Wang Han. It can be said that they were truly strong soldiers and horses, all of whom were elite soldiers and generals with one to ten. It was not difficult to win these anti-army troops with poor equipment, poor training and poor food.

Although the army did not carry large siege equipment or even siege ladders because of the rushing marching, they had a powerful weapon...new artillery.

The Song Dynasty had artillery (the Song Dynasty artillery was the earliest artillery with a range of about a few hundred meters. And the earliest artillery shells were Tiewan and would not explode.), but the artillery in Wang Han's army was very different from the artillery in the Song Dynasty. Their artillery was much smaller than the artillery in the Song Dynasty, and they could be separated and carried. So even if they marched in a hurry, they brought the artillery.

Although the cannons are small, they are powerful and have extremely high accuracy. The range is much further than all the cannons in the Song Dynasty, and the firing frequency is incomparable to the cannons in the Song Dynasty.

Wang Hanguan called this kind of cannon 75mm mountain cannon. People know that this kind of cannon also like to call this kind of cannon mountain cannons, which are used to distinguish the differences between the Song Dynasty artillery and their artillery.

Although there are only ten of these cannons, they can match fifty of the Song Dynasty cannons, and they are confident that they will be able to easily break the city.

(The mountain cannon was bought by Wang Han from Morgan Consortium.)

————————————

With Wang Han's order, the sound of war drums soon rang out among the army. The drum sound was dull, like wind and rain swaying to the city.

Amid the sound of war drums, the 50,000 troops quickly took action, and amid the sound of commands, one by one, a group of 500 infantry formations were quickly lined up. In just a few minutes, the 50,000 people had already arranged the array and the flags were waving.

"Prepare the mountain cannon! Aim at the city gate and the city gate tower!"

Under Hua Rong's order, hundreds of archers pulled the cannons in front of the army formation and began to debug and aim at each other within a kilometer. Boxes of cannonballs were moved from the carriage by the soldiers and placed next to the ten mountain cannons.

As an archer captain, all the ten mountain cannons were classified as Hua Rong's crossbowmen by Wang Han.

"The mountain cannon is ready to be in place."

"The mountain cannon is ready to be in place."

“…….”

With a shout, Shimen Mountain Cannons had aimed at the city gate and city gate tower of Zhourun City. Next to Shimen Mountain Cannons, the messenger had raised the small flag in his hand.

Upon hearing this, Hua Rong looked at Wang Han. This was the first time he used mountain cannons to fight in actual combat, and it was usually only used for training.

Seeing Hua Rong's eyes appear, Wang Han nodded slightly.

"put."

After receiving Wang Han's affirmation, Hua Rong immediately ordered loudly.

"put!"

With Hua Rong's order, the flag bearer next to the Shimen Mountain Cannon immediately waved the small flag in his hand.

"Bang bang bang..."

The next moment, ten consecutive explosions sounded in front of Wang Han's army. Accompanied by the white smoke of gunpowder, ten shells twisted the air and flew rapidly towards the gate of Zhourun City with straight lines.

"Rumbling..."

A second and a half later, the gates of Zhourun City exploded one after another, and the explosion sounded deafening. The city gate tower was blown down in the flames of the explosion, and the city gate hole was covered with the explosion flames and smoke. The soldiers guarding the city walls were also trembling by the sudden explosion, and many soldiers were even scared to throw away the weapons in their hands.

"What's going on?"

After the explosion, the soldiers on the city wall looked at the city gate tower in confusion and horror. They saw that the city gate tower had been blown up, and four large pits were also blown out of the city wall beside the city gate tunnel below. Fortunately, the first round of explosion did not blow up the city gate. However, the suspension bridge of the moat happened to be blown off the iron chain and fell down.

"Quickly, the city gate will be strengthened."

A terrified shout rang out from the city wall. Behind the city wall, immediately anti-army soldiers quickly resisted the wood and rushed into the city gate.

"The second round of volleys, aim at the city gate, prepare and release."

With Hua Rong's order, another ten shells roared in.

"Rumbling..."

Before the anti-army could strengthen the city gate again, accompanied by the violent explosion, the heavy city gate was blown out two large holes, and the city gate was directly exploded. Eight large holes appeared on the edge of the city gate, and even some of them collapsed.

"General, the city gate has exploded."

Putting down the telescope, Hua Rong said loudly to Wang Han.

"Order Yang Zhi to lead the cavalry to charge, seize the city gate, and enter the city."

Upon hearing this, Wang Han immediately ordered the messenger.

"drive!"

With Wang Han's order issued, Yang Zhi immediately led 5,000 cavalry out of the right flank of the army. He rushed towards the exploded city gate amid the rumbling sound of horse hooves.

"Tell Hua Rong to immediately continue to suppress the enemies on the 100-meter city wall around the city gate to cover the cavalry to attack the city." Wang Han ordered again.

With Wang Han's second order, the roar of the mountain cannon sounded again in front of the army formation. After the shells were fired, the soldiers operating the mountain cannon immediately cooperated to withdraw from the shells, reload them, and then fired again. On average, a shell would be fired in five seconds.

For a moment, flames continued to explode on Zhourun's walls, and gravels flew everywhere, and large pits were blown out on the walls. Some shells flew into the city, and even blew up the houses. Amid the explosion, Zhourun's city also became panic.

"Quick, block the city gate."

"Counterattack, counterattack, you must never let the cavalry rush into the city."

During the explosion, watching the cavalry galloping outside the city, the soldiers on the city wall panicked. However, under the suppression of artillery, they even had difficulty in counterattacking. Some timid soldiers were even so scared that they squatted behind the battlements of the city walls and did not dare to get up.

How fast the cavalry charge was? The cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty in later generations was sixteen meters in one second. Although Wang Han's cavalry was not as good as the cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty in later generations, and was half-armored cavalry, there were still ten meters in one second. In less than two minutes, Yang Zhi's cavalry rushed to the city gate, rushed across the suspension bridge, and rushed into the city.

The soldiers behind the city gate wanted to stop it, but Naihe rushed into the city with heavy armored cavalry, and steel armor (the horses of heavy armored cavalry have frontal iron armor to protect the horse's body, and even full armor to protect the horse's body. In the movie, it saves costs, only people have armor), and directly ignores their arrows. Even the spears and spears in their hands were mostly broken, and the impact of the horses was not something they could stop.

"The whole army advances."

Seeing the cavalry starting to rush into the city continuously, Wang Han immediately ordered.

The next moment, the sound of drums turned into a general's order, and the army lined up to move forward in an orderly formation. The soldiers in the front held large shields and spears.

"charge."

Three hundred meters away from the city wall, the sound of the general's drum became rapid. A series of shouts sounded among the square formations in the front. The soldiers in the square formation in the front held a large shield and began to charge towards the city gate under the command of Lu Zhishen.

Scattered arrows began to shoot down the city wall, but the large shields in the hands of Wang Han's large shield soldiers were 1.2 meters long and 60 cm wide (wooden wrapped in iron), completely covering the charge soldiers under the large shield. The scattered arrows shot down the city walls had a very small effect. There was almost no obstacle, and the shield soldiers rushed into the city continuously.

The shield soldiers rushed into the city and immediately dispersed to both sides of the city wall and rushed up to the city wall. The anti-army on the city wall was not an enemy at all when facing the elite troops under Wang Han. In just ten minutes, the city wall was quickly cleaned, and the city wall around the city gate had been cleaned up.

Under the city wall, swordsmen and archers holding round shields have also begun to rush into the city.

"Congratulations to General, Zhouruncheng has been taken."

Seeing this, Wu Yong smiled and congratulated Wang Han. It was inevitable that the army would enter the city and take down Zhourun with the elite troops of Wang Han’s army, even if Zhourun had 60,000 defenders.

"Go into the city!"

Wang Han nodded and walked onto his carriage.
Chapter completed!
