At this time, Chen Dehai, the commander-in-chief of Shanxi Town, was patrolling the city wall. When he heard these voices, his expression darkened instantly.
He walked up to the top of the gate of the city wall, exerted all his strength, and cursed, "You rebels go back and tell Zhao Wen that he is just a dog with a broken spine, who has no eyes on his father, and wants me to surrender. It is simply an impossible thing, you tell him that if you want me to surrender, then wait for the next life."
"These things that don't get in, dare to insult the commander-in-chief, just wait." A soldier said harshly at the top of the city, then turned around and headed towards the barracks.
The other soldiers who heard Chen Dehai's voice also looked angry, "You wait, when the time comes, I hope your bones will be as strong as your mouth."
"Haha, Dog with Broken Back, go back quickly."
"Get out, stepmother's child, get out quickly."
Instigated by Chen Dehai, the soldiers on the city wall cursed at these Xuanzhen soldiers who came to persuade them to surrender.
The soldiers who came to persuade them to surrender walked towards the barracks with gloomy faces.
"My lord, these people don't know how to live or die. They openly insulted you on the city wall. They say you are a dog with a broken spine." The soldiers who went to persuade Zhao Wen to surrender stood in front of Zhao Wen with a look of resentment.
Zhao Wen looked at the town of Shanxi Town in front of him, and couldn't help laughing, "I didn't realize that the chief soldier of Shanxi Town is a man. I just don't know whether you are just being stubborn or my cannon."
Zhao Wen stood in front of the barracks for a short time, then walked back to the big tent of the Chinese army, "Bring me Song Hu, Zhao Daniu and Liu Wu, I have something to give to them."
When Zhao Wen returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, Song Hu, Liu Wu and Zhao Daniu were already standing outside the big tent of the Chinese army.
Zhao Wen pointed to the big tent of the Chinese Army, and said to the three of them, "Go, let's go in."
The three followed behind Zhao Wen and walked in.
As soon as he sat down, Zhao Wen said: "Tomorrow when we attack the city, we will follow the previous tactics, encircle three and miss one, and leave the west gate.
I led the Chinese army to attack the east gate, and Zhao Daniu assisted me.
Song Hu and Liu Wu, you two led your respective troops to attack the north and south gates. Remember, tomorrow's battle must be fast, and within an hour, Shanxi Town must be completely pacified.
I will share some of the artillery carried by the Chinese army with you, and strive to break through the towns and cities of Shanxi in the shortest possible time.
Listen to the sound of the cannon from my side tomorrow. Once the cannon is fired from my side, you will attack me immediately and try to break through the city wall in the shortest possible time.
It has been more than half a month since we set off, and we have only arrived in Shanxi Town now, which is a bit slow.There must be speed. "
"Our speed is actually not too slow. If it were an ordinary army, it would take a lot of time to waste just passing the Yanmen Pass." Song Hu didn't think the speed was slow, but rather fast.
"Compared with ordinary troops, our speed is indeed very fast. But in my opinion, our speed is still a bit slow. I want to take all of Shanxi into my hands within three months. Now you go down and make arrangements .” Zhao Wen waved his hand at several people.
"Follow your orders!"
The three stood up, clasped their fists at Zhao Wen, and walked out.
When leaving Zhao Wen's Chinese army camp, Zhao Wen sent almost five 152mm cannon howitzers to Song Hu and Liu Wu respectively. As for mortars and 107 rockets, Zhao Wen also sent five respectively.
When Song Hu and Liu Wu brought these cannons to the barracks, they began to lead their subordinates, and according to Zhao Wen's instructions, moved their camp to the location arranged by Zhao Wen.
After the transfer, the two also began to build artillery positions.
When everything was done, it was already late at night.
Fortunately, tonight is a clear night, the moonlight in the sky is very bright, and now the nutrition in Xuanzhen soldiers and horses is also keeping up, night blindness is almost extinct, otherwise, it is impossible to complete it in such a short time so many things.
"My lord, the rebels outside the city have made moves."
When Song Hu and Liu Wu started to form troops, Liu Yu, who had been patrolling the city wall, detected them immediately.
Liu Yu hurriedly led several personal guards to the yamen of the general army.
When Chen Dehai heard Liu Yu's words, he jumped up from his chair.
"Is there a move? What move? Are they attacking?" Chen Dehai stared at Liu Yu nervously.
Liu Yu looked gloomy and shook his head, "My lord, the enemy hasn't started attacking yet, it's just that they have divided their forces.
The rebels have surrounded the east, south, and north city gates, and it seems that they will be surrounded by three gates.It is getting late now, and it is estimated that an attack will be launched tomorrow. "
Chen Dehai walked back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back.
"Hurry up and lead your troops, and recruit three thousand young men in the city to prevent accidents." Chen Dehai stopped, pointed at Liu Yu, and said anxiously.
"Obey!" Liu Yu clasped his fist at Chen Dehai, and hurriedly led the guards behind him into the city.
……
"Woooooo!"
Outside the city, Zhao Wen's camp sounded the sound of getting up horns. Although the sun had not yet risen and the sky was still dark, under the sound of the horns, the soldiers in the camp dressed neatly and walked out of their tents.
The first thing to do after waking up is to eat, because it is canned food, so the time to eat is very fast, and it didn't take long for it to be over.
Apart from Zhao Wen's camp, the soldiers in Liu Wu's and Song Hu's camps also began to gather at this time.
A ray of sunlight appeared on the eastern horizon, and the sky suddenly lit up.
Zhao Wen stood behind the artillery position. He held up the binoculars and looked at the city wall in front of him, and shouted loudly, "The artillery is ready, and it will start firing in a quarter of an hour."
After Zhao Wen finished speaking, the messenger behind him hurriedly passed on Zhao Wen's order.
Liu Yu stood on the east wall facing Zhao Wen with dark circles under his eyes.
Last night, Liu Yu was recruiting young men in the city, and Liu Yu stayed up all night. Now he is very sleepy, and he looks out of the city with all his energy.
"It looks like the attack is about to start. Pass the order, everyone cheer me up, and if the enemy rushes over, hit me hard."
The city wall that Liu Yu was defending was the east wall. There were 500 defenders on this section of the city wall, and there were more than 700 young and strong, totaling more than 2000 to two hundred people.
After Liu Yu's order was conveyed, the defenders on the city wall became tense.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the front, and they held the weapons in their hands tightly.
The soldiers who were in charge of throwing the rolling wood and rocks also hurriedly carried these things to their side, so that it would be more convenient for them to throw them later.
Zhao Wen looked at the sun that had completely passed the horizon, put down the binoculars in his hand, drew out the long knife at his waist, and shouted loudly: "Fire!!!"
Not long after the words fell, the five 152mm cannon howitzers at the forefront of the artillery position opened fire first.
"Bang bang bang bang bang!"
Five gunshots sounded one after another, and five high-explosive bombs weighing nearly [-] kilograms flew towards the city wall with a whistling sound.
Liu Yu on the city wall changed his face when he heard the whistling sound, "What is this sound?"
As soon as the voice fell, five high-explosive bombs fell on the city wall.
"Bang bang bang!"
The moment the high-explosive bomb fell on the city wall, the high-energy explosive in the shell was ignited by the fuze.
Flames rose directly from the city wall, and huge flames enveloped the location where the shells landed.
The heat wave and shrapnel generated by the explosion swept away in all directions.
The eyes of the defenders near the landing point suddenly lit up, and then they lost consciousness.
The defenders at the landing point were instantly enveloped in explosions and flames, and their lives were taken away without even a scream.
The powerful explosion blasted the city wall into big pits, and the original green bricks on the city wall were shattered by the explosion.
Fragments of blue bricks and shrapnel flew around in a circle with a howling sound.
Shrapnel and brick fragments easily penetrated the bodies of nearby soldiers, and the soldiers who were shot fell to the ground screaming.
Just five high-explosive bombs took the lives of many people.
"What is this?" Liu Yu looked at the scene in front of him, his face changed drastically.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
"Chi la chi la!"
At this moment, 120 mortar shells and 107 rocket shells fell on the city wall.
The 107 rocket launcher has a very fast rate of fire, and within a few breaths, it can shoot out all twelve rockets in the launcher.
The rocket launchers on the five launchers add up to a total of sixty rocket launchers.
These shells, together with the 120mm mortar shells, enveloped the city walls like raindrops.
Explosions continued to appear on the city wall, and the entire city wall was like a sea of fire, bursting with black smoke.
"I said a long time ago that I'm not an opponent, but I didn't listen. How can I fight? How can I fight? How can I fight?" Liu Yu hid in the gate of the city. He watched the constant explosions and flames on the city wall, and his body was shaking. Stop trembling.
"My lord, what shall we do?" A guard crouched behind Liu Yu, tremblingly asking.
"What should I do? What else can I do? Run, if you don't run, it will be too late."

Chapter 384 What are you waiting for if you don't run?
"Run, what are you waiting for if you don't run? Are you waiting to die?"
Liu Yu howled at the guard behind him, stood up directly from the ground, rushed out of the gate tower at the fastest speed in his life, and rushed down the stairs behind the gate tower.
The personal guards behind him were not to be outdone, and hurriedly followed behind Liu Yu, speeding up constantly.
Just as they rushed down from the gate tower, a 152 mm caliber high-explosive bomb fell on the gate tower.
"Oh!"
With a loud noise, the city gate building was instantly collapsed by the 152mm caliber high-explosive bomb.
The bricks and tiles on the city gate tower and the wooden beams supporting the city gate were torn apart by the violent explosion.
Liu Yu stood at the bottom of the city wall, looking at the bombed-out city gate building, with cold sweat streaming down his forehead.
"Run, run!" Liu Yu wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead, yelled, and led the guards behind him into the city without hesitation.
Under this level of attack, any resistance is pale.
The defenders on the east wall began to collapse. Looking at their companions who were constantly being bombed to death, they screamed and threw away the weapons in their hands, and fled down the city wall.
From the beginning to the end, these defenders were bombarded by artillery fire without even seeing the shadow of the enemy, and the defense lines on the city wall were also crumbled layer by layer.
Especially those young and strong, under the first round of artillery fire, they were already so frightened that they squatted under the crenels of the city wall, trying to escape with their lives, but their bodies were too weak to move.
"Run, we are not opponents, run."
A defender dropped the weapon in his hand and fled down the city in panic.
He had just taken a few steps when he was hit by a 120mm mortar that fell from the sky.
His body was exploded in an instant, and he disappeared in place.
"Run, run quickly, or you will die if you don't run."
At this time, the soldiers on the city wall began to flee under the city wall regardless.
Now they don't want to stop the enemy at all, they just want to survive.
Chen Dehai, the commander-in-chief of Shanxi Town, stood at a line of defense inside the eastern city wall.
Hearing the constant explosions in his ears and the constant flames on the east wall, his expression changed.
From gloominess at the beginning to surprise, it turned into fear in the end.
"This, this, is this the strength of Zhao thief? Zhao thief has such powerful firepower, so why didn't he attack the capital? Instead, he came to attack my Shanxi town? Why is that?"
Chen Dehai led nearly 1000 soldiers to form the second line of defense.
This line of defense was originally used by Chen Dehai to stop the enemy in order to prevent the east wall from being breached.
He looked at the sandbags piled up on this line of defense to stop the cavalry, and his whole face was distorted out of shape as if he had eaten bitter melon.
"This line of defense is useless!" Chen Dehai kicked a sandbag in front of him, yelling angrily.
"My lord, we can't stop it at all, we can't stop it at all, run away."
At this moment, Liu Yu led his personal guards and ran towards Chen Dehai with the soldiers who escaped from the city wall.
Liu Yuchong was at the front, shouting while running.
"My lord, hurry up, this city can't be defended anymore, let's run away quickly, keep the green hills here, don't worry about running out of firewood. If we don't run away, we might all be lost here." Liu Yu turned over the second The sandbags on the first line of defense rushed in front of Chen Dehai, yelling loudly at Chen Dehai with a look of horror on his face.
Chen Dehai's expression was extremely ugly, "If we run away at this time, His Majesty will not spare us. From the time we defended the city until now, we haven't lasted even an hour. If we run away like this, how can we be worthy of the court and Your Majesty?"
"My lord, when is it now, don't worry about whether you are worthy of the court or your majesty, your life is at stake.
With our current strength, there is no way to stop Zhao thief. If we stick to this place, we will only be blown to death by these terrifying weapons, which is useless at all. "Liu Yu became anxious, pointing at the city wall behind, shouting loudly.
