    A full hundred mortars were set up row by row, and all the artillerymen were quickly in position, all ready.  As the order to fire was given, the roar of cannons resounded.

    The deafening sound echoed in the air, and amid the smoke, cannonballs flew out one by one, drawing an arc in the air and heading towards the tower of Longguan.

    Boom!  !

    A loud noise rang from the city tower.

    In an instant, rocks were flying and even clanging sounds were heard.

    After the cannonball exploded, iron pieces and steel needles flew out from the cannonball.  Even many soldiers who were hiding were affected by the flying needles and iron pieces. Many people were directly injured, and screams could be heard.

    ???????????????????? Boom!  !

    ? Continuous shells continue to fall.

    The entire Longguan tower trembled violently, and countless fireworks were lingering.  That is to say, the Longguan city is strong, so it can withstand the bombardment.

    "It was just the bombardment of too many artillery shells. The iron pieces and steel needles on the tower kept passing around. Many Wei soldiers hiding on the tower were injured or died tragically.

    Cao Xuan has now retreated from the Longguan City Tower.

    He was originally going to supervise the battle on the tower, but when he saw the power of the shell explosion, a steel needle even passed by his ear, and he was almost injured. Cao Xuan was too frightened to retreat and did not dare to go to the battlefield in person.

    Cao Xuan stood inside the pass. Even though he was on the ground, he could feel the vibrations on the ground and the tremors when the towers were bombed.

    The power of the cannon is too strong!

    The other officials under Cao Xuan's command all looked horrified, and many of them were trembling slightly.

    The cannon opened their eyes.

    There is such a weapon in the world.

    Cao Xuan looked bitter and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Cheng, although we have already predicted the power of the cannon and have a certain tolerance in our hearts. Now that we really see it, we realize that we are really a frog in the well. In my heart, I can't bear it.  I can't help but feel frightened. The bombardment of this artillery shell is really too strong."

    Cheng Lin sighed and said with emotion: "The power of the cannon is indeed very strong. Once there is a head-on fight, if the charging party is bombarded like this, there will be countless casualties."

    "The most insidious thing is that the veteran noticed that there were countless steel needles, iron pieces, etc. in the shells. They flew out when they exploded, killing countless people. It was extremely cruel."

    "Fortunately, we have the rifles sold by Awell in advance, and the army is equipped with rifles. Once the soldiers of Qi attack, the soldiers on the city tower and the soldiers on both sides of the mountain can suppress fire."

    "Without this step, this battle would have been impossible to defend at all. It was correct to say that defense should be used as offense. Under such circumstances, putting Wang Qi in Longguan with the intention of closing the door and beating the dog is asking for death.  road."

    At this time, Cheng Lin was grateful for Cao Xuan's choice. If Wang Qi's army was allowed to enter, the consequences would be disastrous.

    Cao Xuan nodded and said: "We can only hold on to the current situation. When Awell's artillery arrives, we will bombard Wang Qi. Even if his army wants to attack, we will bomb him one after another. It's just that  I don¡¯t know when Awell¡¯s cannon will be delivered, which is really worrying.¡±

    Cheng Lin said: "Your Majesty, we can only endure it. If we persist for one more month or one more day, maybe it will be different."

    Cao Xuan nodded.

    He raised his head and looked at the tower of Longguan. There was a trace of worry on his face, but it was gradually replaced by determination.

    At this point, he can only wait.

    The rumbling bombings are still ringing.

    The city tower and the mountains on both sides were being bombarded continuously, and the sound of artillery fire continued.  Just the sound of bombing gradually became sparse from morning to afternoon, and the troops were withdrawn near evening.

    The army retreated a certain distance and camped about six centimeters away from Longguan.

    In this camp, the two sides faced each other.

    Wang Qi followed the original plan and sent artillery bombardments from time to time, but did not launch a fierce attack.  Under such bombing, Cao Xuan sat in the pass, and he noticed the strange atmosphere.

    If Wang Qi wants to bomb, he should concentrate his firepower on the bombing. Today's sparse bombing is really a waste of time and pills.

    Since there is such a bombing, there must be a reason.

    This day in the evening.

    After the artillery bombardment outside the pass ended, Cao Xuan came to the tower and urged the soldiers to repair the tower at Longguan.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT OFFIt is extremely strong and has not been fundamentally affected yet. Cao Xuan is able to stabilize Longguan.

    While urging, Cao Xuan looked at Cheng Lin and said, "Mr. Cheng, I always think that there are some problems with the current situation. You said that Wang Qi only bombarded but did not attack. What might Wang Qi have planned?  "

    There was deep worry on Cao Xuan's face.

    He was worried that the current situation was unfavorable.

    I am more worried about the current predicament.

    There was a trace of contemplation on Cheng Lin's weathered face. After thinking for a while, Cheng Lin said: "Your Majesty, given the current situation, I think Wang Qi's purpose is to delay time."

    A flash of light flashed in Cao Xuan's mind and he analyzed: "You mean, although Wang Qi said that the main force is still at Longguan, he has already divided his troops to attack? Just like in the past, when our Wei and Chu countries attacked Qi together, Zhuge  The team led by Feng has been stalling for time, waiting for Wang Qi to defeat Chu, and the army led by Zhuge Feng, Xiao Qingzhi and others directly attacked. Now, Wang Qi is also dividing his troops to attack. Do you want to get a breakthrough from other places? "

    Cheng Lin said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

    Cao Xuan had a thoughtful look in his eyes and said: "According to this idea, what other battlefields will we have in our next battle?"

    Cheng Lin ordered: "Come here and get the map."

    Not long after, the soldiers brought a map of Liangzhou, and the surrounding counties were clearly displayed.

    Cheng Lin squatted down directly on the city tower. He looked at the Wudu County, Hanyang County and Beidi County on the map of Liangzhou, which bordered Qi State. He said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, if we leave Hanyang County where we are.  The next battlefields can only be Wudu County and Beidi County. However, there has been no news that Wang Qi has divided his troops before. The number of Wang Qi's army is still about 50,000, and this number has not decreased. It seems that  It won¡¯t come out.¡±

    Cao Xuandao: "Qi's weapons are different. They have cannons and rifles. Even if they send fewer troops, they can still gain an advantage. Moreover, the troops transferred are small, so naturally there will be nothing. I think we should be cautious.  More, be more prepared.¡±

    Cheng Lin said: "What your Majesty said is true. We will send an order to Wudu County and Beidi County and ask the prefects of the two counties to carefully monitor the borders. It's just that there are insufficient weapons in the local area. After all, all rifles are temporarily supplied to the army."

    Cao Xuandao: "It seems that this is the only way."

    Cheng Lin added: "Your Majesty, why not send 10,000 more elite troops to Wudu County and Beidi County respectively? After all, we have a hundred thousand people, so sending a group of soldiers to leave will not affect anything."

    Cao Xuan asked: "If the army goes there, will it be too late?"

    Cheng Lin said: "No matter what, this is the best arrangement. If we don't send troops, there will be no way to stop the two places from being attacked. Now that we are sending troops, there is still a chance to help and defend. If the place is attacked, the place will be attacked."  If the officials guard it, they can still guard it for a long time. I believe that it is not too late to make up for the situation."

    Cao Xuandao: "Then make arrangements."

    "Old minister, I obey!"

    Cheng Lin got Cao Xuan¡¯s permission and quickly made arrangements. After all, at the moment, he made arrangements overnight. First, he asked the soldiers to pass the order, and then the army under his command rushed over night and headed over as quickly as possible. It could always play a role in providing relief.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
