Chapter 84

Chen Gong still had an old face that was as if a man owed him two thousand taels of silver. His majestic black sand crown was meticulously worn on his head, and facing the cold wind blowing from the city gate tower, he looked down at the city with gloomy eyes.

Work has been stopped by the trenches near the city wall, and these hoes that have forgotten to take back were inserted on them. Cao's army, who had been standing on the siege icebergs, occasionally shot a few arrows, disappeared for ten days. Now it is approaching the New Year Festival of the fourth year of Jian'an. Cao's army, who faced Lu's army, seemed to be preparing to celebrate the festival wholeheartedly, as if they had completely stood up against the war to attack Xia Pi.

If others still think this is a good thing, but for Chen Gong, there is only deep anxiety in his heart. Cao Cao, who was assisting him, quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Qingzhou, Yanzhou. He knew Cao Cao too much about it! If he doesn't move, he will definitely be a thunder blow.

And just as he was worried, suddenly several small schools carried two heads full of fear and bloody faces, and trotted past Chen Gong again. Then, their hands were trembling and hung their heads on the city gate. They ran down the city gate without saying a word.

This scene made Chen Gong sigh again. Now he didn't know whether it was right or wrong to follow Lu Bu. Wang Hou's influence in verbal war fourteen days ago has not subsided. Now, as long as someone in the city whispers and says a few words, he can touch Lu Bu's sensitive nerves, making him think that he was laughing at him behind his back, or talking about something about men, and dragging him down and beheading him regardless of it.

Yesterday, he had a big fight with his favorite Mrs. Ren, and even whipped Hou Cheng dozens of whips. Now there is panic in Xia Pi City.

"If I had known, I should have killed that thief Cao as soon as possible!"

He shook his head with a gloomy face, Chen Gong also turned around and planned to go back. Who knew that at this moment, drum beats suddenly appeared behind him rhythmically, and turned around in surprise. The next second, Chen Gong's pupils couldn't help but grow to the extreme in an instant.

In the empty space just now, countless Cao troops suddenly emerged, and rows of Cao's flags were flying in the cold wind. The black-armored Cao army hugged forward like iron blocks just out of the blast furnace. What made Chen Gong's pupils jump violently was that in the middle of the Cao army's infantry formation, there were dozens or hundreds of giant wooden towers as high as the city walls, which were more than six meters high as the city wall, were pulled under the trumpet of the cow and man while shouting horns.

After a few seconds of stunned life, Chen Gong came to his senses, but even so, he was not panicked, but calmly turned his head and hummed coldly at the stunned officer Lu Jun.

"I won't beat the drum yet, fight!!!"

"Here!!!"

…………

The city also whipped drums and shouted, and the clanging military boots were heard in my ears. Standing on the frozen siege iceberg, rows of archers and arrows were placed on the bows, buried densely behind the marches. If it were so tightly protected a few days ago, Cao Cao's face would have been covered with sorrow, but today, a smug laugh suddenly appeared on his handsome old face, holding the whip high, and he shouted out loudly.

"Stop the army!!!"

Woo~Woo~~~

The desolate oxen horn sounded long and with a clamor, tens of thousands of Cao troops were actually neatly like one person, and stopped in an instant, without taking a step more. The next moment, the messenger roamed the army like a jumping current. In the curious eyes of Lu Jun on the city, the two rows of wooden towers were arranged side by side as the army was moving forward heavily. Some soldiers pulled the iron chains under the tower, swung the hammer high, and nailed them to the ground heavily.

After eleven days of preparation, even the most essential mortise and tenon structure of the Chinese woodworking was abandoned. Regardless of whether the shape was beautiful or not, they directly put a big nail on it, and 108 refrigeration cannons were heavily arrayed under Xia Pi City!

This time, Wang Hou himself went on the battle himself, and he was shouting with hissing and shouting orders. As he was shouting, there were more than 100 kilograms of fragments of the building that were following him, and they were carried down by the sergeant and placed in the net pocket of the Huihui cannon in the front row, and the rear row poured the red coals in the stove into the cast iron pot that was used as spoons.

It has to be admitted that in terms of rebuilding machinery, the ancient Chinese were really inferior to the Western barbarians. The Romans' contemporaries used animal tendons as torque and were launched. However, what was passed down from the Chu State was like a poured whip. It needed to pull the whip with human power and drag it backwards to throw the stone out. This required a huge range of motion, occupied a large amount of manpower, and needed to fix the catapult pole on the ground, which was not practical. Therefore, in ancient Chinese wars, the catapult was not used much.

However, the Hui Hui cannon that appeared here is the pinnacle of the Western Region Alao Wading, a native of the Western Regions under the Yuan Dynasty. As soon as it was born, it helped the Mongolian cavalry to defeat the Xiangfan defense line on which the Southern Song Empire relied for survival. Just a few years later, the Southern Song Dynasty collapsed with a roar of Hui Hui cannon.

In the Crusader, this heavy trencher also roared overwhelmingly in the holy city of Jerusalem. In the era of cold weapons, this was considered the most peak giant device. Although this thing was not very well-known, Wang Hou was full of confidence in these giant guys.

"Brothers, are you cold?"

"cold!!!"

Amid the neat shouts of his subordinates, the sword pointed straight at Xia Pi City, and Wang Hou roared with great passion.

"Then I will light the biggest torch for you! Put it!"

Before the sound fell, the temporary artillery soldiers who were already ready to go suddenly pulled the rope tied with the counterweight. As the creaking wood moaned, the stone-wood counterweight of the slapped and dropped the stone with coal in the back row and threw it out. In the air, it was like a meteor shower. In the stunned gaze of Lu Jun on the city, the red coal block dragging the black smoke hit their faces hard.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The shrill scream suddenly became noisy, and the surface temperature of the burnt coal was thousands of degrees. The Danyang soldiers were basically light infantry, and the coal that weighed one or two pounds and fell on their skin. The barbecue sound suddenly came out terriblely and fell on their backs. The clothes were fine, but they threw it off, but they hit the face and eyes. The screams of despair even seemed to be crazy.

This is not over yet. The buildings of this era are basically made of wood. The red coals spread more than 300 meters behind and fell into the snow pile. They were wiped out with a torn sound, but fell on the corridors of wood, on the windows, and on the piles of forage. In less than a moment, the blazing fire started to roar.

The water is gone! The shrill screams of extinguishing the fire sounded from behind, and he pushed away the shield in front of him. Chen Gong looked down worriedly again. These were just appetizers. The larger reel cannons with a thicker rock arm in the front row were the highlights. The coal-block reel cannons in the back row had already pulled the rope and reeled the cannon. The hundreds of kilograms of shells in the front row had just been put on. Chen Gong's scalp was numb, and once again, a sharp whistling sound suddenly pierced into his ears.

Boom~

The impact was no less than some early artillery pieces. They hit the city wall one by one. The ice armor poured outside immediately broke and fell off hard. The bricks inside also cracked instantly. Some broken bricks were even stuck by ice. Two pieces of fragments hit the beams of the arrow tower on the city gate tower. With a click, the beams were directly broken, and half of the building collapsed directly. Lu Jun below disappeared into the pile of rubble without even humming.

This time, even Chen Gong could not be so calm. He was retreated aside by the impact and was covered in dust and held the Duokou in a mess before he got up. But before he could stand firm, there was a sudden bang under him.

It was a stroke of genius. A triangular piece of Pengcheng hit the city gate. With a crackling sound, the door bolt broke from the middle. The heavy city gate suddenly slammed on both sides of the door hole. The gate guard who had not had time to run disappeared directly behind the door panel, and a stream of blood splattered out.

"Clog the door! Block the door!!!"

The dead souls were rising and could no longer be calm. Chen Gong shouted with all his might, and he didn't care about the burning fire nearby. Zhang Liao pushed half of the door full of sticky blood in his sweat, and closed it with a bang.

The Danyang soldiers behind him were also in a panic and closed the other side, then demolished the nearby houses, and stuffed the wood and stones on them to the city gate regardless of the matter.

This shot was a piece of cake that Cao Jun himself did not expect. Before the cavalry rushed out, Zhang Liao blocked the city gate again. Looking at this scene, Guo Jia slapped his thighs with a pity, and then grinned in pain. He put down the telescope. Cao Cao shook his head a pity, but then his smile returned to his face.

"I sent an order to Che Zhou, the remaining guard of Pengcheng, and asked him to step up the demolition of the house! The beams and woods and fragments were transported to the front line of Xia Pi. If there was not enough, the city wall would be demolished! I would send him another 10,000 people to the Sishui embankment and ditches to the original minister completely stopped the work of the original minister, and all the people supported Chen Deng, the prefect of Guangling, and also stepped up the transportation of carbon and iron. I also sent someone to tell Wang Tuqiu that he would give him whatever he lacked!!!"

Wang Hou is naturally not polite to such a generous boss. Again, another stove of childish coal was loaded. In his hoarse voice, the artillery once again suddenly loosened the thick rope tied to the Huihui cannon. In the sound of a rustling sound, another gorgeous meteor came to the top of Xia Pi City!
