Chapter 453 Siege Battle 2

After several rounds of artillery fire, the soldiers on the battlefield became more and more skilled, and some of them quickly found some techniques for firing, especially in aiming.

How could Shizhou City withstand such intensive artillery fire? Soon, most of the walls on the city walls that could resist the attack were reduced to broken ruins.

There were almost no cannons left on the city walls. Occasionally, a gun barrel could be seen sticking out, but it had become an isolated battlement with no signs of life on it.

Seeing this, Gaddafi knew that the opportunity to attack the city had come, and without waiting for Gulzar's order, he shouted at the top of his voice:

"Warriors, if we capture the city, you will be the first to achieve great success. You will be given priority in obtaining beauties, slaves, and food!"

When the Hun soldiers heard the command, they rushed towards the city wall, shouting, like wolves smelling blood.

A city wall without artillery fire was like a city wall without resistance. The Hun soldiers ran very fast and soon reached the foot of the city wall.

The injured Qin Zichuan heard the shouts of the Huns at the edge of the city and knew that the army was approaching. He stood up with difficulty and looked at the broken city walls without caring too much and shouted to his own people.

"Brothers, get up, get up, and beat these barbarians down."

In fact, the people on the city wall now are all artillerymen. The archers below have not had time to come up, so the artillerymen can only pick up stones or burning wood and throw them down the city wall.

Many parts of the city walls had collapsed. When the Huns saw something being thrown down, they took the initiative to avoid it, crossed the collapsed walls, and attacked the city.

Chen Yonggui and Wang Tieniu were not on duty today, but upon hearing about the war, they rushed to provide assistance with their troops.

When the archers and infantrymen below the city saw the enemy appear on the sunken city wall, they took the initiative to start shooting.

Chen Yonggui knew that the enemy had begun to attack, so he urged his soldiers, "Charge forward and kill these people."

Some of the soldiers who heard the sound were not Chen Yonggui's subordinates, and they also followed and headed towards the flawed position of the city wall.

Wang Tieniu was originally planning to rush forward, but he saw a Hun man holding a small tiger-barrel cannon in his hand, which was set on the remaining part of the city wall and was about to set fire to it.

"Fuck, I'll kill you first."

While muttering to himself, his hands must have moved quickly as he bent the bow and drew the arrow in one go. In the blink of an eye, an arrow flew towards the person holding the torch.

Elsewhere, a Hun saw Wang Tieniu shooting arrows at him, so he took out the bow and arrow on his back, aimed at Wang Tieniu and planned to shoot him.

Chen Yonggui had already reached the city wall. Seeing this scene, he didn't care who the Hun soldier was going to shoot. He threw the spear in his hand and it pierced the opponent's chest.

Seeing the enemy hit, Chen Yonggui picked up the spear of a soldier whose body was blown to pieces from the side of the road, and followed the soldier who was climbing up and went up.

There were Huns climbing up on the opposite side.

Wang Tieniu ordered the archers to find the commanding heights and suppress the enemy with bows and arrows.

Some of the archers who received the order went to the main building of the city gate, while Wang Tieniu took three people to Chen Yonggui's side, to the single-story city wall with stairs.

The cannons on the city walls were still there, but no one was firing them.

Wang Tieniu took the lead and climbed up the city wall in two steps. The wall was full of corpses and covered in blood.

There were two groups of people facing each other in the gap where Chen Yonggui was, fighting with knives, and there were people following behind.

Seeing this, Wang Tieniu bent his bow and shot arrows at that place, shooting down three people in a row, but it was of no avail.

He saw a few shells still on the ground. He had a rough idea of ​​what such shells were and remembered a joke he had made in the past.

"I dared to light a cannonball with fire and throw it with my hands."

At this time, he didn't care whether these words were really useful, so he picked up one, looked at the burning fuse behind the cannonball, found a torch to light it, and threw it towards the outside of the collapsed part of the city wall.

"boom……"

With a loud bang, seven or eight Huns were blown away, and the flying bricks injured several people.

Seeing this, Wang Tieniu thought this method was good, so he lit another one and threw it out.

Several shells were thrown one after another, blowing the enemies around him into a panic.

Just as Wang Tieniu was about to throw the last cannonball, a Hun soldier aimed a bow and arrow at him and shot.

"Puff!" The arrow penetrated the leather armor and penetrated into Wang Tieniu's shoulder. The bomb in his hand was still smoking.

"Oh no!" Wang Tieniu knew that this arrow would cause trouble, so he endured the severe pain and threw the shell in his hand away.

Qin Zichuan also saw Wang Tieniu throwing the bomb from afar. At first he didn't know what was going on, but later he found that the things he threw out could explode, and he soon realized the reason.

He then ordered the soldiers around him to collect the shells, light them on fire, and throw them at the Hun soldiers under the city.

Upon hearing the news of the collapse of the north gate wall, the garrison commander Qiao Mang sent Zhu Zhanhui and his men to provide support.

The two sides fought a desperate battle in the concave part of the city wall. The blood had flowed into a river and the corpses were about to build a new city wall. They just couldn't let the Huns get out of here.

The sky gradually darkened and the day was about to end.

After a siege that lasted four hours and with both sides losing nearly 10,000 people, the Huns reluctantly retreated.

Qin Zichuan also fainted on the battlefield due to excessive bleeding.

When he woke up, he found himself lying among a pile of patients, surrounded by screams of pain.

In fact, he was in pain too, especially after the war, he found that all parts of his body were experiencing unspeakable tearing pain.

Because there were so many injured and sick people, he could only lie on a door panel outdoors.

It was actually not very cold in June, but from time to time someone would wail and people nearby would talk quietly, and he would then realize that someone had finally given up and had lost their life.

Because of the medical transmission from Luancheng, Shizhou also started alcohol disinfection and other work. Those who can survive the first day will most likely not die later, and only a very small number of them will die due to exceptions.

In Qin Zichuan's opinion, tonight is destined to be a night of fear!

The next day, when Qin Zichuan woke up, he found that he was still there. He was secretly happy in his heart, because it meant that he was still alive.

Zhu Zhanhui took command of the battle at the north gate and adjusted the defensive fortifications of this place last night.

Within a hundred meters behind the gap, fortifications were rebuilt with wood and some stones, and tiger barrel cannons were used for defense.

The cannons on the city walls have also been repaired. They are all integrally cast cannons and can basically be used after being wiped clean, but they can only be used together.
