The north wind howled, making the tent rattle! The weather was gloomy in the afternoon and it was probably going to snow. Ning Chen said in a deep voice: "If there is no problem, recharge your batteries tonight and attack the city gate at 9 o'clock tomorrow." Pan Yucheng hesitated and said, "Why not attack in the second half of the night, when people are most tired?" Ning Chen shook his head, "Zhao Bokang has suffered losses at our hands. Moreover, he is a veteran and has rich experience. He will not give us a chance to make a sneak attack." "So, the tricks used to deal with the left prime minister are useless to him... He will definitely make people always wary of our sneak attacks at night." "Besides, we have been marching all the way, and we are tired of men and horses. Let the soldiers have a good night's rest to recharge their batteries." Pan Yucheng nodded. He was good at handling cases, but he didn't know much about things on the battlefield. But he has always been curious, why is Ning Chen, a sixteen-year-old boy, so knowledgeable about things on the battlefield? I'm afraid I can't be so sophisticated just by learning from books? Ning Chen waved his hand, "Let's all go and rest!"
Yuan Long and others bowed and then retreated. In Ning Chen's tent, in addition to a small low table, a few futons, and a small bed. On the bed was a dirty quilt with blood stains on it. In the military, this is considered clean bedding. The bedding of ordinary soldiers has already been stuffed with starch. But that's how it is in the military. Conditions are limited and it's impossible to give you new bedding every day. Being a soldier and fighting a war is not a journey. No one knows when he will die under the enemy's butcher's knife, and who cares whether the bedding is clean? Ning Chen was really tired. After the army set up camp, he even made a trip to the city gate. Not caring about the dirty bedding, he just lay down with his clothes on and went to sleep. But I was pretentious, and I couldn't sleep well. I was half asleep and half awake, as if I was asleep, but my mind never stopped. Until Pan Yucheng came to wake him up. Ning Chen got up, his head was groggy, and he felt more tired than if he hadn't slept. Pan Yucheng brought a bowl of broth. I didn’t even wash my face or brush my teeth. The military didn’t have the conditions to do this. It was common to go without a shower for a month or two. With the hot broth, Ning Chen ate two pieces of dry food. The dry food was rough, and combined with the cold weather, it was as hard as a rock, but Ning Chen ate very deliciously. He was not a hypocritical person... Besides, the war was about to start, how could he not eat enough? After eating and drinking, Ning Chen walked out of the camp. It snowed last night, but it wasn't very thick, but as far as the eye could see, it was completely white.
As soon as the cold wind blew, Ning Chen completely woke up. The army has gathered, the battle flags are fluttering in the wind, and the hunting sound is heard. Ning Chen got on his horse. With an order, the army moved forward and approached the city gate. Zhao Bokang had already received the news from the scouts. He also didn't sleep all night. After learning that Ning Chen led his army straight to the city gate, he urgently boarded the city. There is a vast expanse of white between heaven and earth. Ning Chen's army was like a long dragon with no tail, approaching the city gate with a terrifying momentum. Zhao Bokang urgently mobilized his troops and generals and began to prepare to defend against the enemy. Ning Chen's army stopped. Huge catapults were assembled. The soldiers pushed the siege vehicles and approached the city gate cautiously. On top of the city, when the Grand Master saw this thing, his heart beat. Others' catapults throw huge rocks, but Ning Chen's catapult throws explosive things. His previous 100,000-strong army was defeated by this thing. Catapults were also set up on top of the city. Zhao Bokang ordered, "Aim at their catapult and fire it!" Ning Chen had already clearly seen the movements of the enemy troops on the top of the city. Following Ning Chen's order, artillery pieces were pulled out from behind the catapult. Zhao Bokang tried his best to squint his eyes and see, what is this? Boom boom boom! ! ! Before Zhao Bokang could see clearly, earth-shaking explosions sounded, deafening. Fire spurts out, and gunpowder smoke rises everywhere. The shells fired one after another hit the city. Above the city, people are densely packed. Some cannonballs hit the city wall, directly destroying a large area of the city wall, and the entire city wall was in fierce fighting. Some flew directly to the top of the city. The soldiers at the front of the city wall were shattered on the spot, with flesh and blood flying everywhere.
Boom! ! ! The catapult at the top of the city was directly blown to pieces by the cannonballs. The terrifying sound and terrifying power caused the people on the city top to be frightened on the spot. Zhao Bokang's face turned pale, what on earth is this? The artillery covered the siege vehicles and reached within range. Zhao Bokang suddenly came to his senses and yelled: "Don't mess around, fight back, fight back... The archers are ready. As soon as they get close, they will release arrows immediately." "Catapult, launch!" The huge stone flew through the void with a sound of breaking through the air, and landed in Ning Chen's camp. Boom boom boom! ! ! The power of these boulders is equally terrifying. Many soldiers were smashed into pulp on the spot. Ning Chen roared: "Launch!" Adjust the angle of the catapult. Explosive packets and gunpowder barrels streaked through the void and landed in different places on the city. Boom boom boom! ! ! With the earth-shattering explosion, fire swept across, and gunpowder smoke billowed. The soldiers around them were blown to pieces before they could even react, and their flesh and blood flew everywhere. "Don't save, hit me hard!" "All artillery, aim at the city gate!" "Musketeers get ready!" Following Ning Chen's orders, thirty-two cannons fired at the city gate. With the deafening explosion, shells flew out and hit the heavy city gate. For a moment, wood chips flew, and the heavy gate was riddled with holes. Behind the city gate, there were screams! Many soldiers guarding the city gate were killed by shells. Although the power of the shells was very weak after penetrating the city gate...but this thing is a big iron ball, and it can easily kill people if it falls on them. "Come again!" Ning Chen roared. Boom boom boom!!! The shells rained down on the city gate.
The heavy city gate was ultimately unable to withstand the bombardment of the artillery, and it was shattered and fell down. "Musketeers, charge!" "Others, follow me!" Ning Chen shouted. Under the cover of the Dunjia soldiers, the musketeers began to charge towards the city gate. The infantry followed closely behind. The 100,000-man army rushed towards the city gate like a torrent. "Shoot, shoot..." On the top of the city, Zhao Bokang also shouted at the top of his voice. The dense rain of arrows fell like a swarm of locusts. Many of Ning Chen's men fell. "Don't stop the artillery, shoot at the top of the city." "Catapults, speed up!" "Bow and crossbow camp, shoot!" Although Ning Chen's voice was hoarse, his voice had long been drowned in the sound of fighting. Fortunately, there was a messenger. The messenger ran frantically to convey Ning Chen's order. The rain of arrows was like a waterfall, shooting at the top of the city. With the terrifying explosion, 32 artillery fired at the top of the city. Countless explosive packs and gunpowder barrels flew towards the top of the city. Fires were everywhere, and smoke filled the sky. The sound of fighting and screaming resounded through the sky. "Shoot your arrows, shoot hard..." Zhao Bokang screamed. "Grandmaster, it's bad... the city gate has been breached!" "What are you talking about?" Zhao Bokang's first reaction was that it was impossible, and he didn't even see Ning Chen using a siege vehicle. "It's true, the city gate has been breached... The enemy has already rushed in, they have muskets, we can't resist them, and they are about to rush to the top of the city."
Zhao Bokang's head buzzed, and his old face turned pale. He looked at the big iron ball that smashed a big hole in the ground, and immediately realized that this should be the thing that broke through the city gate? Where did Ning Chen, this little bastard, get such a terrifying thing? The musket is scary enough, what is this thing?
