Chapter 118 Start the war!

"Be careful, don't break it."

On the city wall, Su Jin stood beside Liu Jun and stared at the soldiers and lifted the cannons up.

Because a cannon weighs nearly two thousand kilograms, it often takes about ten people to carry it at a time.

Occasionally, a soldier's soles slip, and Su Jin will be particularly nervous.

Who made this thing save life?

Liu Jun was holding a telescope and watching the Fuyu cavalry coming and going outside the city.

After a night of rest, he and Su Jin were busy setting up defenses.

This time, the Fuyu Kingdom sent the capital marshal Jiang Shunchen, which clearly wanted to fight to the end with Jingzhou.

He had no way out, so he could only fight back.

"Your Highness, what are those?" Su Jin was worried about the artillery and then stretched out his head to see the iron barrels on the city wall.

"This is called a conscience-free cannon." Liu Jun said.

This time, in addition to bringing more than 300 artillery pieces, he also transported more than 200 conscience-free cannons and a large number of explosive packs at the same time.

Drawing on the experience of using the unconscience cannon in contemporary times, he asked the soldiers to use sandbags to make a single pit and sit in the unconscience cannon.

This will greatly reduce the impact of recoil.

Su Jin had never heard of this thing before and said in confusion: "It seems that it's not far away when you look at something?"

"It's still available for more than 200 meters." Liu Jun patted a heartless cannon, "Don't look far, it's even more powerful than the cannon, you just wait and see the show."

Su Jin showed an expectant look, and Liu Jun always brought surprises to people.

This time he wants to see how powerful this unconscience-free cannon is.

As the two were talking, a black line suddenly appeared in Liu Jun's vision.

"The Fuyu people's army is here." Liu Jun said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Su Jin immediately picked up his telescope and looked at it.

Unlike the cavalry that had been reconnaissance in the past, this time the Fuyu infantry appeared.

This time, the people of Fuyu really came to the city.

"Quick! Quick! Quick!" Putting down the telescope, Su Jin hurriedly urged the soldiers carrying the cannons.

When the soldiers learned that the Fuyu army was approaching, they became nervous and their steps became much more urgent.

One hour later, all three hundred artillery pieces were transported to the gun position, and the gunners stood on both sides of their artillery, waiting for orders.

In addition to artillery, all the archers in the border army were also transferred.

The sword and shield hand and the spear hand made a horizontal line along the city wall to guard against the soldiers of Fuyu to climb the city wall.

"Look at the two people carrying sedan chairs, the people above should be Tuoba Huo and Jiang Shunchen." Liu Jun asked.

As the Fuyu army got closer, the face of the Fuyu people in the telescope became clearer and clearer.

Among the troops, Liu Jun saw two sedan chairs very conspicuously.

This kind of sedan chair is carried by eight people, with ornate chairs on it.

I sat upright on the chair, squinted my eyes, and felt very enjoyable.

Su Jin looked over Liu Jun's hand and saw two people sitting on the sedan chair.

"It should be right." Su Jin said, putting down the telescope, and he said, "It's great to have a telescope. He's so condescending and know everything. Hehe, wait until they get in and greet them with cannons."

"Don't be impatient, hold it back, don't expose the artillery until necessary." Liu Jun sneered on the corner of his mouth.

After the three hundred cannons were in place, they were still covered with black cloth and some hay was covered.

In addition, the city wall is very high, and there is no artillery presence from the outside.

However, although the two of them looked relaxed on the surface, they felt a little chilled in their hearts.

Because in the marching team, they saw hundreds of artillery pieces.

"The people of Fuyu will not attack the city today. At most, they will use artillery to bombard the city walls. Your Highness will go back to rest and accumulate strength." Su Jin said.

Liu Jun nodded.

An army of more than 100,000 people will last dozens of miles.

Therefore, in ancient times, two armies fought, and the vanguards would not fight immediately when they met.

Instead, they will look for favorable terrain to set up camps and wait for all subsequent troops to arrive.

"General, please go back and rest. Remember, without my orders, you must not use artillery." Liu Jun said.

Taking advantage of the time when the people of Fuyu set up camp, it is a good time to wait for the effort.

Liu Jun and Su Jin went back separately, except for leaving soldiers on shifts to guard the city wall.

He ordered all the soldiers of the border to rest, and at the same time, the kitchens in the military camp ensured daily meat consumption in the past few days so that the soldiers could maintain good physical strength.

Two days later.

The Fuyu people's army has been assembled.

After observing that the Fuyu people had the intention to attack, Liu Jun and Su Jin ascended the city wall.

Xue Shi led the cavalry to stand by under the city wall.

The war was about to break out, and the atmosphere in Jingshan Pass suddenly became solemn.

In the past two days, the Fuyu army gathered at the city has already reached 200,000.

There are only more than 40,000 people in the entire Jingshan Pass. Such a huge gap in military strength has made them lose confidence in the tall city walls of Jingshan Pass.

"Where is General Su?"

The people of Fuyu lined up more than 100 artillery pieces less than 300 meters away from Jingshan Pass.

At this time, a cavalry rode out and shouted at the city wall.

"I am Su Jin."

After looking at Liu Jun, Su Jin spoke out.

"I have seen General Su, and my highness asked me to give the general a message. This time, my Fuyu army is bound to win Jingzhou. The 200,000 troops will break the city in just a moment. As the saying goes, those who know the current affairs are heroes. As long as the general opens the city gate and surrenders, my highness will definitely report to the emperor to protect the general's glory and wealth." The cavalry shouted.

"When I go back, I will tell you that your highness will fight as soon as I want to fight. Don't have these twists and turns. I want me, Su Jin, to surrender and be his daydream." Su Jin said angrily.

"The general is really ignorant of politeness. If you refuse to surrender, it may not be that your family King Jing will not surrender. The general might as well send someone to ask him!" The cavalry sneered.

"No need, I am here, telling Tuoba Huo that if you want to take down Jingshan Pass, you must step over my body, get out!" Liu Jun scolded loudly.

The cavalry looked at Liu Jun in surprise and turned back.

Before the Fuyu State camp was invaded, Tuoba Huo and Jiang Shunchen were waiting.

The cavalry returned and passed the message to him.

"King Jing is here too?" Tuoba Huo laughed, "This child is a little brave. Since that's the case, he will capture him alive today."

Jiang Shunchen looked at the city wall, and many people could vaguely see their heads shaking.

Scan the eyes of Fuyu's sword hand with clear armor and high morale in front of him, and he said, "Fire the cannon."

The order was conveyed, and the gunner in the front row raised a torch to light the fire.

As a burst of fire and smoke emerged, amid the loud "boom...", iron eggs flew towards the city wall of Jingshan Pass.

"Dongdong..."

The iron egg hit the blue bricks heavily, smashing a deep crater, shattering the blue bricks, lifting the smoke and dust that entrained the debris.

More than a hundred shells hit the city wall one after another, as if summer raindrops fell on the dry dust.

For a moment, dust enveloped the city.

"Be careful, Your Highness." Su Jin suddenly pressed Liu Jun under him.

A cannonball flew to the top of the city at this time and barely passed through Liu Jun's head.
