Chapter 530

The time is getting closer to noon. In the west of the city, the east gate is indeed closed. There is a great sense that I will stand still in spite of your storm. But if you can walk behind the east gate and have a look, you can see that many Jiaozhi troops have gathered here.

Among them, there are elephant soldiers riding on elephants, black soldiers with dark skin, soldiers directly under the prince who look uniform and have a good mental outlook, and the king's guard.

Hundreds of thousands of people focused on the east gate. Because of the large number of people, this team has been lined up ten miles in the city. This was originally the tactics of the Jiaozhi army, that is, once a war begins, it will attack with a sea of people. As long as it can rush to the mercenaries, it is tantamount to seeing the hope of victory.

As for the nearly 150000 Jiaozhi troops, 50000 people were left in the city to protect the catapults made overnight and public security in the city. 100000 people came to the north and South gates respectively, waiting for them to detour from the side once the elite main force of Jiaozhi rushed out.

In a word, they want to use the most superior number of troops and mercenaries to catch the dead.

At the inner gate of the east city, ten thousand soldiers directly under the crown prince with iron shield have been ready to rush. However, Luo Po, the leader of the cold front second regiment, was a little puzzled. That is, the sixth young master didn't give them an order to attack the city, but asked them to stay two miles in front of the city gate and completely surround it in a fan.

"Commander, what does the sixth young master mean? If we keep it like this, can they take the initiative to rush out?" Kong Quanxin, the third battalion commander, came to Luo Po with a puzzled face. Obviously, he was also confused about the formation.

Luo Po certainly wouldn't say, and he didn't know how the sixth young master arranged it. As his superior, he stared at Kong wholeheartedly, "go back to your command position and obey the command. Do you need our commander to say more?"

After closing the door, Kong wholeheartedly reluctantly returned to his position, and then made a posture of looking up at the sky. He seemed to be watching the sun rise to the sky to see if it was noon.

While he was inadvertently doing this action, several huge fire lights suddenly crossed his pupils. He vowed that the fire light immediately attracted all his attention, and his sight moved instinctively. Then he saw that the fire light fell in an arc in the West City, and then there was a loud sound that made his whole person confused and the whole earth tremble.

Boom, boom, boom!

The power of mortars was completely highlighted at this moment. Especially when those shells fall into the long adjusted coordinates, that is, in the West and east of the city, the lethality and destructive power are very amazing.

At this time, the streets and even alleys were full of elite soldiers. They were waiting for the mercenaries to approach to a certain extent, they opened the city gate and rushed out. Although such an impact will inevitably lead to many deaths and injuries, where can there be undead people in war?

And the generals above said that once they can really rush to the mercenaries, the scale of victory will completely move towards them. It also says that whoever grabs an advanced firearm in the hands of a mercenary can exchange 200 liang of silver on it.

Two hundred taels of silver, compared with the Jiaozhi soldiers whose monthly salary is only about two taels of silver, that is their income in recent ten years. How can such a reward not stimulate them one by one?

Even some people with urgent personality can't help but want to open the city gate and rush out. This point of man-made financial death was expressed incisively and vividly at this time.

This is also why there are so many Jiaozhi soldiers in the east gate, but there is still no disorder, and there is no struggle between soldiers. Maybe everyone's attention is outside the city, on the battlefield, thinking about how to make meritorious service and earn money. Who is willing to make trouble in front of us?

It is precisely because these people gathered together intensively. When the mortar shells fell into the east city, the destructive power and lethality caused and produced were also very amazing.

Many soldiers didn't look up. Naturally, they didn't know where the shells would fall. Of course, even if they go to see it, they also don't know where is the safest.

Based on the fact that the propagation speed of sound is the fastest, the roaring sound sounded first, but then, in less than a second, the shell that was enough to deafen the ears and burn people fell to the ground and showed its powerful power.

The falling shells often become the most dangerous area within about 30 meters around when they fall. In particular, as the center of the shell, it is about three meters around, which directly becomes a big pit. No matter who and what buildings are in this place, it will become a scorching fire in an instant. Then there is the area of about ten meters. Anyone standing here is almost divided into corpses in an instant. It's really fried. Even his parents can't recognize it.

Even in the periphery, about 30 meters away, there are still a lot of shell fragments flying around. If anyone has bad luck, once he is stained with such fragments, even if it is only one piece, it is enough to make him fall to the ground and shout, completely losing his fighting power. At the same time, the sad cry also greatly affected the morale of the surrounding soldiers.

The five mortars fired five shells in five different directions in a very short time. The lethality and destructive power caused by the shells when they landed could not be described in words.

For some cross toed soldiers, death is death. There is nothing terrible, or do not know what is terrible. But for those who are still alive, it is a great shock. That feeling can really be described as life is better than death, because they don't know where that thing like God's anger will fall next time and whether it will fall on their heads?

You know, this is a mortar from Dachang. Even the shell is also produced by Dachang. This makes them both accurate and powerful. These are also developed by the modern army of later generations after countless efforts and experiments. They should be equipped to the grass-roots army, and their ease of use is not generally strong.

Twenty five shells fell, which was equivalent to the anger of twenty-five gods, which had scared Jiaozhi from the top. Jiaozhi King Riley was stunned at this moment. He didn't know what to say, let alone how to describe his current mood.

Maybe you must say that King Riley will swear at his mother. You have such a powerful weapon but don't say it. You've only used it now. What a fart in this battle. If such gods were more angry, maybe there would be no need to fight this war. Xiyu city would be blown into ruins, and all of them would become fertilizer and be buried in this land forever.

"Father, what should I do?" Prince Li Yuanlong was also lost his temper and lost his square inch by the anger of the God. There was only endless fear and fear in his eyes.

"Open the city gate and rush out. Anyway, we can't just admit defeat. In addition, try to leave some elite. We... We go out from the west gate to Duwei city." with an ugly face, King Riley had to prepare for the worst.

Giving up Xiyu city and going to Duwei city was originally a move prepared by Li Li, but he thought it might not be necessary to go, maybe it would take some time. But now it seems that it has to be used in advance.

"Yes." Prince Li Yuanlong felt a little calm because of his father's words, and then went down to convey the order.

West of the city, mercenaries were also frightened by the great power of mortars.

In fact, some of them have not seen the power of shells for the first time, and even the power of shells they have seen in the past is far greater than that of mortars. Only because I didn't receive any news before, I was frightened by this sudden change.

"Look, the city gate is open, and the Jiaozhi soldiers want to rush out." I don't know which cold front suddenly shouted and turned everyone's attention away.

As a commander, Luo Po, head of the second Lengfeng regiment, still has a sense of buzzing in his ears. But anyway, being competent for the post of the head of the regiment is enough to prove his high psychological quality. Therefore, when he saw the city gate open from the inside, he began to shout loudly. At the same time, he also issued an order and said, "everyone is ready. The opportunity for us to show is coming. Check the guns and prepare the grenades."
