256 The shells are gone

In early April of the fifteenth year of Daye, outside Handan City.

Woo woo woo woo woo!

A low trumpet sounded, and a large number of Sui troops gathered outside the city, surrounding the city of Handan.

"Kill!"

Fierce shouts of killing sounded, and the Sui army had launched a two-day strong attack on Handan City.

This time, the Xia army in Handan City defended extremely tenaciously and conservatively.

No matter how Xu Feng sent Dian Wei, Li Cunxiao and others to provoke and insult outside the city, the Xia generals Wu Qingsuo and Yang Yu in Handan City just avoided the battle.

During the battle of Yaocheng, they had a clear understanding of the strength of the Sui army and no longer dared to be arrogant.

This time, Wu Qingsuo and Yang Yu made up their minds to defend Handan City to the death and no longer leave the city to fight the Sui army in the field.

The two of them took turns to command day and night, mobilizing more than 200,000 soldiers and civilians, and indeed defending Handan as solid as an iron barrel.

Anyway, the Sui army attacked for two days without any progress.

This made Xu Feng realize that if they still use traditional cold weapons to siege the city, they would not only have to suffer heavy casualties, but also take a long time to conquer Handan.

"Send the order and stop siege."

Xu Feng looked at the Sui soldiers attacking Handan City in front of him, with a cold face and gave an order.

Dangdangdang!

The Sui army was singing gold in the rear, and the Sui army soldiers who were sieging the city in front were stunned. Unexpectedly, the sound of golden gongs would sound at this time.

It shouldn't be so, it's been less than half a day since the city was sieged.

However, these Sui soldiers were elite soldiers and were prohibited.

Afterwards, they then retreated quickly and gave up the attack.

"Well? Why did the Sui army withdraw its troops?"

On the top of Handan City, the Xia army general Yang Yu personally sat in the top of the city to command. At this time, he looked at the retreating Sui soldiers, and was also confused.

"If something goes wrong, there will be a demon.

Pass the orders and let the soldiers be more vigilant and beware of the Sui army attacking the city."

Yang Yu couldn't understand why the Sui army suddenly withdrew its troops, but to be cautious, he still issued such an order.

On the Sui army, after withdrawing its troops, Xu Feng immediately summoned the generals to discuss matters.

"Your Majesty, why did you withdraw your troops?"

Luo Shixin asked in confusion.

"If you continue to fight like this, you will not be able to defeat Handan City.

Although the city defense of Handan is not as good as that of Dongdu and Chang'an, it is also tall and strong. If you continue to attack like this, the soldiers will suffer too many casualties."

Xu Feng shook his head.

"Your Majesty, are you going to use Thunder Cannon again?"

Xu Chu, who was beside him, his eyes lit up at this time and he spoke.

Xu Chu said "Thunder God Cannon", and the eyes of Li Cunxiao, Lin Chong and others around him also looked over.

Obviously, even Li Cunxiao and others attached great importance to Thunder God Cannon.

The so-called "Thunder God Cannon" is actually the ten siege mortars that Xu Feng obtained from the system.

Because Xu Feng made a fool of himself before, he told Dian Wei that the siege mortars were divine objects.

After the war in Dongdu, it was no secret that the siege cannon was siege, and the soldiers of the Sui army all saw its power with their own eyes.

In addition, after the war, Xu Feng probably spread rumors that he could attract the Nine Heavens Thunder God. In the end, Xu Feng simply named these mortars "Thunder God Cannon".

When Xu Feng saw everyone looking over, he nodded slightly: "Well, you can use the Thunder God Cannon.

However, there are only thirty-four shells of Thunder Cannon, so we cannot fully count on Thunder Cannon in this battle, and we will eventually have to rely on the soldiers."

During the battle between Xu Feng's attack on Dongdu, ten mortar cannons fired a total of 66 solid shells before it collapsed a section of the city wall in Dongdu.

Therefore, after the war, Xu Feng had thirty-four shells left in his hand.

After the war, Xu Feng also asked craftsmen to imitate these mortars and shells, but they would not be used in a short period of time.

After all, artillery appeared in this era and was regarded as a divine object. People and craftsmen had never seen this thing before.

Even if those craftsmen want to imitate, it will not happen overnight.

Therefore, once the ten siege mortars in Xu Feng's hand were used up, they would probably become a pile of scrap iron lumps.

‘It was just used on the blade’.

Although Xu Feng only had the last thirty-four mortar shells left in his hand, as long as this battle could help him break through Handan City, destroy the Xia army, and destroy Dou Jiande.

It is definitely worth using these mortar shells.

"In addition to Thunder Cannon, I have also prepared more fun things for the rebels."

Xu Feng said with a sneer,

"Your Majesty, when will you attack the city again?"

When Dian Wei heard Xu Feng say this, he became excited and asked.

"Don't worry, everything is ready now, it's really just a tide.

Wait."

The next two days, the Sui army outside Handan City had no movement and did not attack the city, which surprised Yang Yu and Wu Qingsuo in the city.

"Yang Yu, what are you doing now that foolish lord Yang Guang outside the city?"

In Handan City, the two commanders of the Xia army met, and Wu Qingsuo said.

"Who knows, the Sui army has not sieged the city for two days. Could it be that Yang Guang saw that our defense was so easy to leak, and the casualties in the siege were too great, and he really wanted to withdraw his troops?"

Yang Yu said,

However, when he finished speaking, he began to shake his head, and he himself didn't really believe this statement.

"By the way, will the foolish lord Yang Guang be in the sacrifice? He wants to attract the thunder of heaven, and blast the walls of our Handan like he did when he captured Dongdu?"

Suddenly, Yang Yu thought of something, stood up suddenly, widened his eyes, and said to Wu Qingsuo beside him.

"Tsk, you believe this."

Wu Qingsuo disagreed.

"This kind of words will just deceive those foolish people. If the foolish lord Yang Guang had the help of heaven, he could really lead the Nine Heavens Thunder, which would have been used long ago and would have allowed us to block Handan City."

Wu Qingsuo sneered and said.

“That’s right.”

Hearing Wu Qingsuo say this, Yang Yu was convinced and nodded slightly.

"Okay, I'll go and rest. I'll replace you to defend the city tomorrow."

Wu Qingsuo patted Yang Yu on the shoulder and left immediately.

After three consecutive days, the Sui army outside Handan City was silent and no more soldiers attacked the city, which made Wu Qingsuo and Yang Yu even more confused.

"It's really evil."

When both of them dare not act rashly and the Sui army does not attack the city, it is good news for them.

"The enemy does not move, I do not move."

It was not until three days later that the Sui army outside the city finally used movement.

"General, look, the Sui army has sent troops."

On April 10, the Sui army launched a large-scale move and surrounded Handan City again.

"Your Majesty, the artillery battalion is ready."

Zhou Qing came to Xu Feng and shouted with admiration.

At this time, Xu Feng had already turned the Sui soldiers under Zhou Qing's command, who could control the cannon, into a battalion alone, and Zhou Qing became the general of the camp.

Although the artillery battalion under Zhou Qing was only 100 people at this time, it was promoted to Zhou Qing's position several levels in a row.

"Yeah, let's start."

Xu Feng looked at Zhou Qing and Bai Qi beside him and nodded slightly.

"As for your order, your Majesty."

Immediately, Bai Qi dispatched Sui army infantry, while Zhou Qing returned to his artillery battalion and commanded his artillery soldiers to push ten mortar cannons to the front of Handan City.
