Outside the Byzantine city, the previous state was restored again. Thirty artillery continued to bombard the Byzantine walls. The interval between each round of artillery reloading. The Liang army and Alexander's infantry had to hold up large shields to resist the arrows flying down from the city, but picked up the projectiles cast in lead and iron for the gunners to reuse them.

Another round of artillery was over. Although the Byzantine walls had been bombarded with uneven potholes, there was no sign of collapse. Several groups of coalition infantry formed a turtle shell formation again and walked quickly under the city. Their eyes were scanning back and forth on the ground, hoping to find as many projectiles as possible. When they entered less than twenty battles away from the city wall, the arrows fired by the scorpion crossbows poured down as expected, making a sound of plump rain falling to the ground.

At this time, Zhao Yun heard a noise behind his army. He turned his head and saw that it seemed that the soldiers of the Liang army had a conflict with Alexander's subordinates. He hurriedly turned his head and came to the scene of the incident.

I saw some Liang soldiers and some Roman soldiers pushing each other on the scene. The translator was not beside him, and he couldn't understand the words of the Roman army, but he could hear them clearly.

"You don't get close to this place, go!"

"You don't understand human words, don't get close to this place. Go forward again, don't blame us for being polite!"

"They don't understand our words, but they should know the knife. Brothers draw the knife, and they will kill you without mercy if they get closer."

Zhao Yun was about to speak, but heard a loud shout: "Stop, what are you going to do!" Hearing this loud shout, Liang army and the Roman army stopped pushing. When Zhao Yun saw that the person shouting turned out to be Ma Chao.

When Liang Jun saw that Zhao Yun and Ma Chao had arrived, he hurriedly explained: "Report to the two generals, the emperor established two iron military rules when he formed our special army. One is that gunpowder is not allowed to be leaked to outsiders at any time, otherwise the crime of dereliction of duty should be killed according to military law. The other is that no one is allowed to approach these fired drugs at any time, otherwise we have the right to kill without mercy. Even the important ministers of the Liang State, even those with the identities of two generals are not allowed. Moreover, when the emperor personally sent to help the two generals break through the city, he specially instructed these two military rules. But now these Roman soldiers are unreasonable and have to approach dozens of cars of gunpowder. That is why such a fight happened."

Zhao Yun nodded suddenly and said, "So that's it!" But Ma Chao was already yelling at the Roman soldiers: "Get out quickly. If you don't have the thief killed you, I'll do it now if you don't have the face of your Emperor Alexander!"

The Roman soldier naturally couldn't understand his words, but he knew that the other party had warned him. Zhao Yun pulled Ma Chao's sleeve and signaled him to calm down. Just then, an interpreter ran over panting. Zhao Yun said to the translator: "Tell these friendly soldiers quickly. These things are secrets of our army. No one is allowed to approach them, otherwise they will be killed without mercy."

The translator said to these Roman soldiers in Latin, but they still had no intention of retreating. They exchanged eyes with each other, obviously to reach a tacit understanding of the next move. At this time, Alexander walked over in a stairs and said with a haha: "My soldiers are just very curious, so they want to see what rare objects this powerful thing of your army is. But they have no malice. They don't want to offend you, please don't blame them, don't blame them."

Although Zhao Yun knew that Alexander must have thought about gunpowder and sent someone to make some samples, he did not want to be discovered by the soldiers who were guarding gunpowder in his artillery team, so the conflict broke out. But he could not point out this point childishly and responded with a haha: "Your Majesty, it's not your fault for your generals. The so-called ignorant person is not guilty. So since it's a misunderstanding, it's better to let the soldiers leave each of them."

Alexander then waved his hand and said a few Latin words. The Roman soldiers retreated immediately and returned to their team.

But Alexander himself was unwilling to give up and said to Zhao Yun and Ma Chao: "I am a very curious person and really want to see this powerful item in person. Can the two generals be convenient? But don't worry, the two generals, I know this is your military secret and I promise not to take this thing away at all. I just want to watch it up close with my own eyes."

Zhao Yun smiled and declined, "It's useless for your Majesty to ask me and you both. Maybe your Majesty didn't hear what our artillery battalion commander just now. He said that even if you are General Ma Chao, you cannot touch this item. This is a military order issued by our emperor. Our military order is like a mountain, not to mention that it is a military order issued by the emperor. No one can touch these items. I hope Your Majesty will forgive you."

When Alexander heard this, he had to make a few more polite words and left without any worries. At this time, the sound of cannons like thunder sounded again. The cannons in front had been loaded, and a new round of cannonage began.

Suddenly, after a loud bang different from the previous cannon sound, a burst of screams and noises broke out in the military formation. At the same time, Zhao Yun felt a trembling on the earth, much greater than the shock when the cannon was fired. He was happy and thought that the Byzantine city wall had collapsed. But then he saw that the city still stood in its original place. Then he saw that a cannon had fallen off the base and flew to more than ten battles behind, and the barrel was lying on the ground like a cracked rotten bamboo tube.

"What happened? Summon the chief lieutenant of the artillery team to ask." Zhao Yun asked.

After a while, the captain of the artillery team ran away and said, "General, our artillery exploded."

"Fry?"

The commander said with a frown: "It's just that the cannon tube will explode after being used for a long time. The first batch of cannons can last for more than two hours, and it's considered qualified if it fires more than ten cannons. But I didn't expect that this city is so strong that it needs to be bombarded for two or three days to be destroyed. Just now... when the general asked me, I... I forgot this again..." His voice became smaller and smaller, like a child who did something wrong.

Zhao Yun then suddenly realized why every time they set off firecrackers, they hid behind dozens of battles and lay on the ground. It turned out that the quality of the cannon barrels could not be guaranteed at all.

At this moment, two unusual loud noises came, and two more artillery bombarded one after another. Zhao Yun hurriedly shouted: "It seems that the lifespan of these artillery barrels has reached. Don't continue bombarding, otherwise all artillery will be destroyed."

The rumbling sound of cannons stopped abruptly, and Zhao Yun's eyebrows were twisted into lumps. Ma Chao and Alexander also rushed over after hearing the news, and they both sighed mournfully after learning about the situation.
