The army kept walking outside, and it didn't take long for them all to leave Yangqu County.

But these gathered people had no intention of leaving, they stood still and kept shouting for a long time.

From Yangqu County to Taiyuan Prefecture is about 40 or [-] miles.

Although some of the soldiers that Zhao Wen was leading at this time were infantry, when they were in Xuanzhen, these soldiers did not dare to say that the food was the best, but it was not bad.

With a good diet and frequent training, the bodies of these people are already extremely strong.

Therefore, shortly after leaving the city, Zhao Wen gave the order to march quickly.

When all the soldiers started to run, the smoke and dust on the loess spread from the ground and swept towards the sky.

The distance between Zhao Wen and Taiyuan Mansion is also constantly shrinking.

Finally, after more than an hour of rapid march, Zhao Wen finally came to a place less than ten miles away from Taiyuan Mansion.

"No, the rebels are here."

The soldiers on a watchtower on the city wall of Taiyuan Prefecture looked at the huge puff of smoke and dust that suddenly appeared in front of them, their hearts tightened, and they hurriedly rang the gong on the watchtower.

For a while, the gong on the top of the city kept ringing.

A thousand households in charge of the northern city wall watched the smoke and dust coming towards this side, rushed to the alarm bell installed on the gate tower, and beat the alarm bell desperately.

Wu Tong, who was inspecting the situation behind the northern city wall, suddenly heard the bell from the city wall, his heart tightened, and he shouted: "The rebels are here, everyone go to the city wall."

Wu Zhen was wearing a scarlet official uniform, and he didn't care about anything at this time, leading the people behind him and rushing towards the north wall.

Chen Dehai and Li Tianhe followed Wu Xin, and rushed towards the city wall with nervous expressions on their faces.

It didn't take long for Wu Zhen to stand on the gate tower on the north city wall.

He put his right hand on his forehead, squinted his eyes and looked at the smoke and dust in the distance, his face was gloomy to the bottom of the valley.

"My lord, according to this battle, there are probably nearly 3 people."

With just one glance, Chen Dehai could see the approximate number of people.

Li Tianhe also said: "Yes, Mr. Chen is right, it seems that there are indeed 3 people.

There are 3 rebels. If it is an ordinary soldier, let alone 3, it will be 6. With the city wall and the [-] defenders in the city plus [-] young and strong, I am confident that I will hold the city.

However, if the strength of the rebel army is really what Chen Zongbing said, I am really worried. "

"Shut up, don't talk about such things as boosting others' aspirations and destroying your own prestige."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Xuan began to scold him.

Zhao Wen rode on the horse, getting closer and closer to Taiyuan Mansion.

"Order the whole army to stop advancing!"

When it was about five miles away from Taiyuan Mansion, Zhao Wen stopped.

"They've stopped, they've stopped." Wu Xuan pointed at the people who stopped in front of him and shouted hastily.

Chen Dehai's face changed, "My lord, quickly remove all the defenders on the city wall, and let them all hide in the cave for the soldiers on the back of the city wall.

At that time, when bandit Zhao broke into the Shanxi town, he bombarded it with a powerful artillery about five miles away from the city wall.

This kind of artillery is so powerful that a single shell can cover a distance of more than ten feet.

If the defenders were left on the city wall, the defenders on the city wall would be defeated after a round of shelling by the thief Zhao. "

"Then you mean that we remove the soldiers on the city wall first?

But from ancient times to the present, has there ever been a war like this?What if they don't bombard and attack the city directly? "Li Tianhe has never seen Zhao Wen's appearance when he attacked the city, so now he is a little confused about what Chen Dehai said.

Chen Dehai patted his thigh, and said excitedly: "I dare to guarantee with my head that Bandit Zhao is really extraordinary. Hurry up and withdraw all the soldiers defending the city. If you are worried, you can leave a dozen people on the city wall. If the Zhao thief infantry attacks, it will be fine to send the soldiers to the city wall."

Before Li Tianhe could speak, Wu Tong pointed at Chen Dehai and gave an order, "Everything is based on Chen Zongbing's order. After all, Chen Zongbing fought against Zhao thief in person. What he said should be right, he will not harm we."

While they were talking, Zhao Wen pointed to the city wall ahead and shouted: "Set up artillery positions in front of the army formation and one mile on both sides, and launch an attack in half an hour.

Li Xiaosan, let the first, second... and other thousand households, a total of 1 people go to the east wall, and let the tenth... and other thousand households, a total of 1 people go to the west wall.At the same time, equip them with five of the three types of artillery. "

After the words fell, Li Xiaosan took Zhao Wen's order with the messengers.

The artillery in the army was also pushed out by the artillery, and began to go to the position Zhao Wen said.

Those thousands of households mentioned by Zhao Wen also rushed towards the east and west gates with cannons.

The tactics used by Zhao Wen this time are still encircling three and missing one.

The defenders on the city wall also began to retreat below the city wall against Wu Sheng's order.

Although the defenders didn't know why they were evacuating, they didn't ask.

When evacuating, Li Tianhe left about fifty soldiers on each section of the city wall to monitor the movement of Zhao Wen's soldiers and horses outside the city.

For a moment, the atmosphere on the city wall became depressed, and everyone breathed heavily, constantly relieving the tension in their hearts.

The mountain rain was about to come and the wind filled the building, so Wu Tong retreated to the open space behind the city wall under the protection of a dozen personal guards.

Looking at the city wall and the sandbags used for reinforcement behind the city wall, Wu Xin felt a lot more at ease.

These sandbags were neatly stacked, and for more stability, a lot of water was poured on them.

The current city wall has been reinforced by these soldiers with sandbags, and it has been wet with water to increase its strength.

Zhao Wen, who was outside the city, looked at the city wall in front of him quietly. The two armies he sent to the east and west gates were also advancing rapidly.

Not long after, the two teams had arrived at the place Zhao Wen had reserved.

The messenger who delivered the news came back to Zhao Wen, "My lord, the east side is already in place and can launch shelling!"

"The west side is already in place and can launch shelling!"

Zhao Wen nodded, and said to these messengers: "When I fire from this side, the east and the west will fire immediately. Remember, don't let the shells fly into the city, and hit me with firepower to bomb the city wall, so as not to hurt anyone. innocent!"

"As ordered!"

Several people clasped their fists at Zhao Wen and roared, then rode their horses and galloped towards the east and west walls.

As time passed bit by bit, Zhao Wen looked at the city wall ahead and drew out the long knife from his waist.

"Dang!"

There was a crisp sound from the friction between the blade and the scabbard. Apart from this sound, the entire battlefield was silent.

"The city wall in front of the target, fire!"

The long knife in Zhao Wen's hand pointed at the sky obliquely, and he shouted angrily.

Li Xiaosan led the messengers into the artillery position and passed on Zhao Wen's orders.

The 152mm cannon howitzer at the forefront had already loaded its ammunition. After hearing the order, they fired directly without saying a word.

"Bang bang bang!"

Five cannons rang out, and the barrel of the cannon suddenly retreated, and the smoke and dust on the ground were shaken like waves, spreading out.

The five 120mm artillery shells on the left front and the five 107mm rocket launchers on the right front also fired at this moment.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

High-explosive shells fired by five 152mm cannon howitzers flew across the sky with a howling sound and fell towards the city wall.

Wu Zhen and others who were in the cave for hiding soldiers on the back of the city wall were at a loss for a moment when they heard the strange cry.

They didn't know what the sound was, it sounded like ghosts crying and wolves howling.

After all, Chen Dehai had fought Zhao Wen face to face. Although he was defeated, he had a lot of experience.

"Zhao thief is firing, Zhao thief is firing, everyone get ready, cover your ears quickly, Zhao thief's artillery is powerful, everyone be careful!" Chen Dehai hurriedly squatted in the corner of the cave, and pressed his body tightly against the On the wall, he covered his ears and shouted loudly.

Before the words were finished, five rounds of 152mm high-explosive bombs fell on the city wall.

"Boom bang bang!!!"

In an instant, five shells exploded one after the other.The huge explosion made the city walls tremble, and the fragments from the explosion hit the crenels on the city wall, making a dull crackling sound.

The sandbags used for reinforcement on the city wall were blown up in an instant, and the sand inside was blown everywhere.

"Is this Zhao thief's cannon? It's so powerful." Although Wu Zhen covered his ears, he could still hear the huge explosion.

The Cangbing Cave also began to tremble under the explosion. Although the trembling range was not large, it was shocking.

Before Wu Xin finished speaking, shells from the 120mm mortar and 107mm rocket launcher also fell on the city wall.

The sound of explosions rang out one after another, just like the firecrackers set off during the New Year, the sounds were almost connected together.

The sandbags set up on the city walls were blown everywhere, and the forts of the red cannons and the Francois machine forts reinforced with sandbags were destroyed by these explosions.

The heavy barrel of the red-clothed cannon was blown into the sky, and then landed on the city wall again, making the teeth-stinging sound produced by the collision of gold and stone.

The flames from the explosion ignited the gunpowder used by the red-clothed cannon and the Frang cannon, a white light lit up, and then exploded.

At the same time that Zhao Wen fired, the east and west sides also fired.

The shells fell on the city wall like raindrops, and then exploded on the city wall like thunder.

The soldiers squatting in the cave covered their ears in horror, their hearts were beating violently when they heard the terrifying sound.

The soldiers that Li Tianhe used to monitor Zhao Wen's movements on the city wall were frightened by the artillery fire.

They also didn't care about monitoring Zhao Wen's movements, they just threw the weapons in their hands, let go and rushed down the city wall.

Because of the small number of these soldiers and their scattered distribution, the probability of being hit by the northern artillery fire is relatively small. Except for some unlucky ones who were hit by shrapnel and broken bricks and tiles, the others are basically alive escaped.

"What did this Zhao Wen do before, who is he, and why does he have such a powerful cannon? If the imperial court had such a powerful cannon, who would dare to make trouble in the whole world?" Wu Zhen heard the constant ringing in his ears. There was an explosion, and he yelled coldly.

"My lord, I don't know about this either. The origin of this Zhao Wen is mysterious, and no one knows where he came from. The court records say that he was the son of a rich man in a village below Xuan Town, and was plundered by the Tartars on the grassland at that time." , and was rescued by the frontier army who happened to rush over.

But there are too many flaws in it, and it can't explain where the artillery in Zhao Wen's hands came from.Zhao Wen's origin has always been mysterious in Xuan Town. Some people say that Zhao Wen is a god in the sky, who is specially here to rescue the people in the world. "Although Chen Dehai has never dealt with Zhao Wen, they are all one of the Nine Sides, so Chen Dehai has heard a little about Zhao Wen's origin.

Wu Xuan covered his ears, chopped his foot fiercely, and roared: "This is simply farting. There are no gods in this world. This Zhao Wen is simply hateful. He used such despicable methods to confuse these fools and fools." woman."

The shelling continued, and the explosions on the top of the city showed no sign of stopping.

The people in the city were terrified when they heard the explosion sound from the city wall.

Everyone hid in their homes and looked in the direction of the city wall.

Jin Wang Shizi Zhu Shenxuan stayed in the study, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

"What kind of weapon is this? Why has the sound of explosions never stopped? What kind of weapon is Zhao thief using? Is this the magic technique of the gods mentioned in the scriptures? What's going on here?" Prince Jin Holding a pillow in his arms, his face was full of panic.

Every time the explosion sounded, Zhu Shenxuan's body trembled.

The head of the royal residence stood beside Zhu Shenxuan, his body trembling constantly.

Because he didn't have that thing, he was much worse at controlling his pee.

When the sound of rumbling guns rang out non-stop, his crotch quickly became wet, and yellow liquid kept dripping down.

"Your Highness, this is probably the divine soldier invited by Bandit Zhao. Otherwise, how could there be such a big commotion? Even if it is a cannon in red, it is impossible to make such a big commotion. Your Highness, every time this explosion goes off , The windows of the palace trembled once, this power is really great.

I am afraid that the explosion of Wanggong factory during the Tianqi period was not as big as it was. At the beginning, some people said that the explosion of Wanggong factory was caused by the gods in the sky. Others did not believe it, but I believed it.Only immortals in this world can have this ability.

Now Zhao Wen doesn't know what his origin is, but it's really scary to be able to invite the immortals in the sky.Maybe the big explosion at Wanggong Factory was related to Zhao Wen. "

The manager's hands were covered with sweat, he clamped his legs tightly, and stood beside Zhu Shenxuan with a panicked expression, tremblingly expressing his views.

After losing that thing, the chief eunuch lacks Yang energy and is very timid.As soon as I heard the explosion from the city wall, I couldn't help but connect it with the country stories I had seen before or heard.

The more connected the more terrifying, the more connected the scarier.If it wasn't for Zhu Shenxuan, he might have gone to a small space to hide.

It was good that Zhu Shenxuan didn't listen, but after hearing the eunuch's random explanation, he became even more nervous.

His body was trembling, cold sweat kept coming out, and his whole body was wet as if he had just been fished out of the water.

His upper teeth and lower teeth kept colliding due to the trembling of his body, making a rattling sound.

He huddled his body as close as possible, terrified.

"Quickly, quickly, call me all the guards in the palace, and let them surround the study for me."

Although the chief eunuch had 1 reluctances in his heart, under Zhu Shenxuan's order, he couldn't help it.
