Guo Hao's roar was drowned by the wanton noise of the Jin army and the roar of the heavy trebuchet.

The second one, the third one, the fourth one, and the fifth one came one after another.

The second one hit the city wall with a loud bang, and the person standing on the city wall clearly felt a slight tremor under his feet.

The third one hit the tower, tore up the thick wood of the tower, rushed inside, crushed everything, broke open the tower and rolled down.

The people below hurriedly scattered in all directions, but some people were still hit. They were smashed to pieces in an instant. The broken armor and flesh were mixed together, and they were scorched in the blazing anger.

The fourth one passed over the city tower and fell on a house. The roof of the house was penetrated like paper, and the sound of everything being crushed came from inside.

Immediately, the boulder easily tore through the wall of the house and rolled forward, tearing everything to pieces wherever it went.

The fifth one hit the street directly.

"Run!"

It was too late, and it fell directly into the formation of the Divine Guards.

There was a huge muffled sound, and a big crater was made in the ground.

In the large pit, at least three soldiers were smashed into shape on the spot. The surrounding soldiers were lifted up by the impact, and at least nearly ten people were affected.

The crowd who reacted immediately used weapons to shovel earth into the burning boulders in the pit.

Unlike the Divine Guards, who were in good order, the Xiang troops were already restless and obviously frightened.

People further away were even more panicked.

For the ancients, such an attack had exceeded the limits of human power and was incomprehensible.

Lu You, who was standing at the top of the city, felt his feet trembling just now. When he saw the soldiers who were beaten to a bloody pulp, he was so shocked that he could no longer speak.

Lu You came from a scholarly family in Zhejiang and Zhejiang. His grandfather was the deputy prime minister and his father was also a high official.

It is no exaggeration to say that Lu You himself was a child prodigy in novels. He started reading at the age of five, and by the age of seven or eight, he had read a lot of books. At the age of eight, he could recite poems and write lyrics.

Some people compare him with Li Qingzhao, but Lu You's ambition is not in poetry, but in the battlefield.

The year Lu You was born was the seventh year of Xuanhe. The maritime alliance between Song and Jin was completely torn to pieces. The Jin army drove forward, leaving the Yanyun and Song army vulnerable. Tong Guan abandoned Taiyuan and fled after hearing the news.

In the midwinter of that year, the defenses of the three towns were torn to pieces under the iron hoofs of the Jin people. Countless civilians were exposed in the wilderness. The war was raging across Hebei and Hedong, and the imperial court had no will to resist.

Maybe it was because he was born in this special year. As he grew up, Lu You kept hearing people talk about the year he was born, the beacon smoke in the north when he was one or two years old, and Zong Ze, a scholar from both Zhejiang provinces.

s story.

This made Lu You, who had read history books and had a strong heart, often mention to others the words of Champion Hou: The Xiongnu are not exterminated, so why do we need to take care of our family?

From that time on, Lu You had always wanted to join the army.

This time, he finally persuaded his father to follow his uncle to this important place.

And he got his wish and stood on the tower.

The books he had read quickly flashed through his mind, including the famous generals who fought on the battlefield.

Li Mu, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Chen Tang, Ban Chao, Dou Xian, Li Jing and so on.

The iron horse and the golden sword emerged from the Dragon City, and there was no royal court in Monan from now on.

What a happy enmity that is.

However, at this moment, he felt a different scene.

He saw the dead people, saw those who were clearly scared but still stood firm in their positions, heard the enemy's wanton shouting, and saw some chaotic people in the city.

He looked up at the gloomy sky, feeling like a speck of dust in the boundless ocean, as if the sea water everywhere rolled up huge waves and hit him.

He felt unable to breathe and felt unprecedentedly depressed.

He felt that the giant pillars supporting him were collapsing, the surrounding mountains were sloping down, and the sky was broken and began to collapse.

A loud bang, like the world reopening, pulled Lu You back.

That was the roar of the Song Army's bronze artillery.

With a loud explosion, the first iron cannon erupted from the muzzle, tearing open the air, and rushed straight towards the Jin army below, passing between the heavy trebuchets, and hitting the enemy fifty meters behind.

Jin Army infantry formation.

It hit the armored infantryman and overturned five people on the spot.

This sudden blow made Jin Jun unable to react.

In just an instant, the second iron cannon, the third iron cannon, and the fourth... successively spurted out from the tongue of flames at the muzzle, appeared in the air, and charged towards the Jin army with the power of tearing everything apart.

go.

Before Lu You could react, he saw dozens of sharp shadows swooping down.

Eight streaks of dust were immediately thrown up from the ground, and more than a dozen of them rushed into the dense formation of the Jin army, flying away dozens of armored soldiers.

In addition, several more pellets passed by the heavy trebuchets in front of the Jin army's formation, and two of them hit the heavy trebuchets.

However, it hit the bottom and caused no damage to the heavy trebuchet itself.

However, Jin Jun, who originally planned to give Song Jun a surprise, received this unexpected surprise first.

After the Jin Army's artillerymen reacted, they looked at the ground next to them and saw long marks made by the iron balls.

Different from the heavy trebuchet's projectile hitting the ground, the Tiger Crouching Cannon's trick is gentler. After hitting the ground, it can bounce up and travel a certain distance.

The traces on the ground are intermittent long strips and long strips.

Of course, the stones thrown by the heavy trebuchet weigh one hundred kilograms, while the iron cannon of the Tiger Crouching Cannon only weighs about five kilograms.

When the ranges of both sides are similar, the power of the heavy trebuchet shells is more than twenty times greater than that of the Crouching Tiger Cannon.

Both sides entered a short preparation stage.

The Jin army began to reload the stone cannons, a process that took time.

The Song army began to cool down the gun barrel.

Guo Hao hurriedly ran to the artilleryman and shouted: "Hit the Jin's trebuchet! Hit the Jin's trebuchet!"

Yu Yunwen came over quickly and shouted loudly: "The Eight Ox Crossbow is ready! The Eight Ox Crossbow is ready!"

Ten eight-oxen crossbows were placed on the tower.

Each eight-niu crossbow requires nearly thirty people to operate.

This is a weapon that is extremely difficult to operate, and it is also one of the weapons commonly used by the Song Army.

This kind of eight-oxen crossbow is expensive to make. One piece costs one thousand guan, which is equivalent to the price of a cargo ship. It is an absolute waste of money.

But the configuration of the Song army is not bad.

Who let the Song Army have a Zhao Guan family who regarded money as dirt?

Of course, in the past, this money might have been used by the officials and clan members for enjoyment, but now it was used by Zhao Ning to make weapons.

"Smash the city wall! Smash it on the city wall!" the officer of the Jin Army's artillery battalion roared loudly.
