Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The night passed.  The next day, the sun rises high and shines brightly on the sky and the earth.  The sound of beating drums in the Tang army's camp suddenly sounded, and Tang soldiers came in large numbers and formed a formation under the city.  In front of the Tang army formation, hundreds of soldiers wearing black robes and armor were seen. Every two people had a long black lacquer-shaped strange-shaped instrument with four wheels underneath, which could be moved.  , there is a big mouth, there are more than a hundred statues, lined up in a row.  But it was said that this thunder cannon was made of black iron. It weighed a hundred kilograms and was nine feet long. The diameter of the muzzle was about eight and three inches. The cannon was engraved with the inscription "Thunder Cannon".  There are two square holes in the tail of the gun, which are equipped with trunnions.  An iron anchor is used at the bottom to limit recoil." "Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!"  The production is extremely fine, and it has the power of the "Tiger Crouching Cannon" during the Jiajing Period.

    On the two wings of Zuoyou, there are troops and horses on each side. The general on the left is Zhao Yun, and the general on the right is Zhang Liao.  The flags were flying behind the formation, and on one of the flags there was a big word "ÎÄ" written on it with flying dragons and phoenixes. The general who led the army was none other than the Lord of the Western Tang Dynasty, Wen Hanye.  The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty beat drums in three directions, and all the soldiers shouted in unison, raised their arms and shouted, their swords and guns glowing with cold light, like a row of reeds.  I saw that the Tang army was still four or five miles away from Chengdu.  Seeing that the Tang army was far away, the Shu soldiers suddenly stopped and took up their positions. They were shocked and shocked, and all of them laughed. At such a distance, not to mention that swords and guns were out of reach. Even if they fired arrows, they would not be able to hit them.  The female wall of Wengcheng is about to fall down halfway.  At this time, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, Ma Dai, and Pan Pingping had rushed to the Wengcheng in the north. Zhang Fei frowned and shouted suspiciously when he saw that the Tang soldiers were four or five meters away.

    "These Tang thieves are hiding far away from me, fighting or not. What do they want?"

    "Huh, I think it's because the Tang thieves saw that our Chengdu city was heavily fortified and impregnable, with nowhere to attack. They were afraid of defeat, but they were also afraid of withdrawing and being laughed at by us, so they didn't know what to do!!"

    Ma Dai snorted coldly and scoffed.  Zhang Fei heard this and immediately shouted at the top of his voice.

    "Tang traitor!! You wait for a fight but don't fight, retreat but don't retreat, but why!!!?"

    Zhang Fei roared with a thunderous voice, and it immediately rolled like thunder, resounding for miles around.  As the saying goes, it is disrespectful to come and not reciprocate.  But this gift from the Western Tang Army was extraordinary.

    Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang~~!  !  !  !

    "In front of the Tang army's formation, bursts of flames suddenly rose up, and then like hundreds of thunders crashing down from nine days away, the sound was endless, shaking the heaven and earth.  Zhuge Liang opened his eyes and saw more than a hundred black round objects flying towards him. He suddenly felt endless fear and subconsciously ran back, shouting and retreating.  Zhang Fei, Ma Dai and other generals also recognized these black round objects and retreated in panic.  Sooner or later, more than a hundred cannonballs, like flowers scattered by a goddess, were scattered everywhere on the urn city, either hitting the parapet wall, falling into the crowd of people on the city, or hitting the watchtower.  superior.  In an instant, streaks of flames like raging waves swept crazily and soared into the sky. Countless Shu soldiers were blown up in all directions. Some were blown to pieces on the spot, some were blown away from the city and fell to pieces, and some were blown away and hit on the ground.  The soldiers who had escaped in time earlier were screamed in pain after being hit.  At the same time, the entire Wengcheng shook violently, sand and stones flew wildly, and huge pieces of earth and mud fell from the Wengcheng, hitting the ground with repeated sounds.  Those hundreds of rays of light disappeared as quickly as they came. After disappearing in an instant, all they could see was smoke filled with gunpowder above the barbican city, and bursts of shrill screams could be heard, like a hell on earth.

    And in the Tang army formation, all the soldiers had a look of horror on their faces.  This was the first time for the whole army to see hundreds of thunder cannons firing in unison. This devastating power, which could move mountains and seas, was like a miracle.  Wen Han looked cold and gave an order, and one hundred and twenty-eight thunder cannons were fired together again.  In an instant, the gunpowder smoke that filled the surroundings of Wengcheng was swept away by pieces of flames, and the sound of roaring, shattering, and screams could not be heard without stopping.  Zhuge Liang hurriedly ordered the soldiers to withdraw. Zhang Fei and other generals protected Zhuge Liang and rushed to the North Gate City. The Shu soldiers on the Weng City fled in panic and trampled on each other, killing countless people.  The urn city was constantly shaking and crumbling, looking like it would collapse at any moment.  Zhuge Liang and his generals rushed into the enemy tower at the north gate to take shelter. The juli¨¨ vibrations coming from the Wengcheng side also shook this side.  Zhuge Liang's face was extremely solemn, his brows were furrowed, and although he was panicked, he spoke in a condensed voice.

    "The power of that army's weapons is astonishing. If this continues, I'm afraid the barbican city will collapse in three hours!"

    When Zhang Fei heard this, his expression changed drastically, and he asked Zhuge Liang anxiously.

    "If this is the case, I'm afraid Chengdu City will not be able to survive for a long time. Does the military advisor have any plans!?"

    Zhuge Liang's eyes were bright. At this time, another huge earthquake came, and many people were almost knocked upside down.  Zhuge Liang was extremely weak, but fortunately Ma Dai helped him in time.  Zhuge Liang steadied his body, his mind whirled, and he spoke sharply.

    "I just saw that their army has more than a hundred weapons, which can be fired from a long distance. If our army wants to defend Chengdu, we must destroy those weapons first!! But I saw that their army's formation was well prepared."However, I have a plan that can teach the Tang thieves to focus on one thing and lose the other, but it requires all the generals to fight hard and never shrink back from fighting!  !  I don¡¯t know who dares to go there!  ?  "

    When Zhang Fei heard this, without thinking, his eyes widened and he shouted sternly.

    "Don't worry too much, military advisor, I'm willing to go!!"

    As soon as Zhang Fei drank it, Ma Dai, Pan Pingping and other generals also shouted loudly, and they were all willing to fight.  Zhuge Liang's face darkened, his eyes shone brightly, and he quickly gave instructions to everyone.

    "All the princes are loyal and righteous men, and they are indeed the lucky ones of our country of Shu! That army has powerful weapons and aims to conquer Chengdu. Tanzhi, Bozhan and others can quickly lead an army and horses from the east and west.  But after hearing the order, they immediately rushed out of the city and prepared to attack the other army's formation. At this time, Yide led a group of soldiers and horses to go out from the south gate, and took a detour to get there.  The army's stronghold was empty, and when Yide saw Tanzhi and Bozhan fighting with the Tang army, he quickly led troops to attack and set fire to the Tang bandit's supplies.  Seeing that the rear stronghold has been lost, we will immediately rush to the rescue. Bozhan, Tanzhi, and others will attack with all their might, destroying the rebels' weapons as much as possible! I will wait and see the situation in the city, but when the opportunity comes, I will immediately send troops to respond.  , attack the other army in a big way!"

    Zhuge Liang's plan was unparalleled.  The three generals Zhang Fei, Ma Dai, and Pan Ping were all shocked and raised their hands in unison to accept the order.  Zhuge Liang gave his orders again, and the three generals listened and retreated quickly.  At this time, the Tang army was still bombarding the Wengcheng with thunder cannons. The Wengcheng was covered with dust and smoke. The Shu soldiers who were originally guarding the Wengcheng had already retreated to the north gate to take shelter.  Half an hour later, under the continuous violent attacks of thunder cannons, the urn city shrouded in gunpowder smoke continued to make crackling sounds, and it seemed that it would collapse in a short time.  Wen Han looked grim, and first ordered the sergeant to rest and recuperate. The thunder cannon should not be fired repeatedly, otherwise it would be easily damaged.  Wen Han ordered the troops to rest for a while, then look forward to Chengdu and step up their offensive.

    Then, the roar, like thunder exploding, gradually disappeared.  The people in the city were so frightened that they hid in their homes and did not dare to go out.  In the hearts of every Chengdu citizen, the rumor that Wen Han was the son of destiny and could control the divine thunder gradually changed from half-doubt to belief.

    Inside and outside the city, it suddenly became deathly silent.  Most of the Shu soldiers on the North Gate City looked desperate.  The Tang army has such powerful weapons, which cannot be resisted by manpower!  !

    At this moment, two bursts of drums suddenly sounded, breaking the calm.  In the east gate and west gate, two Shu soldiers rushed out. One was led by Ma Dai and rushed out from the east gate. The other was led by Pan Ping and rushed out from the west gate.  In an instant, shouts of killing were heard, shaking the heaven and the earth.  When Wen Han heard the shouts of killing suddenly, his face tightened, and he quickly instructed Zhao Yun and Zhang Liaohou Bei, and at the same time ordered Fei Yuan and his soldiers to move the thunder cannon to the rear to guard them.

    It was too late, but it was fast, just before the Tang army changed its formation.  Ma Dai and Pan Ping led troops to the left and right, and they suddenly arrived.  Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao shouted loudly, each raised their weapons and rushed out to meet him.  The two young generals, Ma Dai and Pan Ping, both had cold expressions on their faces, and their eyes were like burning flames, filled with the determination to fight to the death and never give up!  !

    In the midst of the lightning and flint, Zhao Yun rode the jade lion that shines at night like a thunderbolt, and suddenly killed in front of Ma Dai. The bright silver spear of gentian suddenly rose, and the spear stabbed as fast as lightning.  Ma Dai roared loudly, his lion eyes widened, danced his spear, and fought to the death with Zhao Yun.  On the other side, Zhang Liao raised his halberd and rushed to the front of Pan Ping. Fang Tian's painted halberd suddenly had a bloody aura and slashed towards Pan Ping's door with a sharp stroke.  Pan Ping hurriedly raised his knife to block it, and with a loud bang, the two weapons suddenly swung apart.  Zhang Liao stopped his attack and started to attack wildly with his halberd. He danced so tightly that Pan Ping gritted his teeth and suddenly launched the Pangu Kaitian Eight Styles to fight Zhang Liao desperately.  At the same time, the Shu soldiers and the Tang soldiers were already fighting together. On the battlefield, the sun was covered with smoke and dust, and the sound of killing was loud.  The soldiers of the two armies fought more and more fiercely, and the mountains shook and the earth shook, and the sky and the earth turned pale.

    Pang Tong looked at the melee between the two armies, and suddenly his expression changed, and he hurriedly spoke to Wen Han.

    "No! Most of our troops are fighting here, and there is no strength in the stronghold. If the other army sends a surprise attack on our stronghold and burns the baggage. Although our army has the advantage of weapons, it will have no food to survive.  We have to withdraw our troops!¡±

    After hearing this, Wenhan felt as if he had received an electric shock. His heart trembled. Without saying a word, he rode his horse forward and ran straight into the rebel army. He happened to see Zhao Yun's back and shouted loudly.

    "Zilong!! You quickly lead a group of troops back to the camp and prepare for a surprise attack!!!"

    I saw Zhao Yun, and danced the dragon's liquid silver gun as Ziji's limbs, and recruited the heart.  Suddenly, Zhao Yun heard a shout from behind, and his expression suddenly changed. After sweeping Ma Dai away with a shot, he reined in his horse, galloped back, and quickly exchanged glances with Wen Han.  Wen Han had an urgent need, and his face was full of anxiety. The attack on Chengdu was just around the corner. If anything happened, his success would be in vain.  The war between the Western Tang Dynasty and Shu Kingdom cost a lot of money.With so few manpower and financial resources, how many brave soldiers died, and how many people in the Western Tang Dynasty were separated from their brothers and families because of this!  If his success failed, how could Wen Han have the face to face his fellow villagers in the Western Tang Dynasty!  !  Zhao Yun and Wen Han looked at each other as if they had a clear understanding of each other. They galloped their horses wildly, and more than a thousand cavalry quickly followed Zhao Yun, rushing toward the camp.

    ¡°Zhao Zilong, don¡¯t even think about escaping, please give my brother his life!!!¡±

    When Ma Dai saw Zhao Yun retreating, he was unwilling to give up. He roared fiercely, and his whole body was full of momentum, like a wild lion, and he suddenly galloped to catch up.  Wen Han's expression condensed, and he suddenly shot three flying knives from his hand. The flying knives came through the air, and there was a sudden sound.  When Ma Dai heard the sound, his heart tightened. He hurriedly picked up the gun and stabbed it quickly. There were three loud bangs and the three flying knives fell.  Between the lightning and flints, a horse hooted. Ma Dai saw a black shadow approaching in front of him. It turned out to be a black and shiny horse with an extremely handsome horse. At this time, Wuzui was still as majestic as it was back then.  The hoof jumped high and fell suddenly.  Wen Han was condescending, his sword eyes were sharp and threatening, and the pear blossom spear danced suddenly, as fast as a torrent, and stabbed violently, killing Ma Dai by surprise with one shiji¨¡n.  Ma Dai hurriedly resisted, anger welling up in his lion eyes. It was the man in front of him who had turned the Ma family from the aloof overlords of Xiliang into bereaved dogs who had to be taken care of!

    "Wen Bufan, please accept your fate!!!"
