Chapter 587 The Fall of the Hero

Dozens of Xiangyang cannons stand like giants, and each large trebuchet is operated by hundreds of soldiers, ignited fireballs, and loaded with boulders weighing hundreds of catties!

These dozens of large counterweight trebuchets were aimed at the gap where the Han army and Wusun soldiers fought!

Yelu Dashi personally came to the catapult phalanx, commanded the catapult, and destroyed the defense of Luntai defenders!

"Have you corrected the drop point?"

Yelu Dashi summoned Arab craftsmen and strangers who were good at mathematics and asked them to adjust the landing point of the trebuchet.

Although it is impossible to create large-scale equipment, the giants thrown by the catapult generally conform to the laws of physics.

"It can basically hit the area..."

Arab craftsmen and alien craftsmen are all terrified. Because the weight and shape of the stones used are different, it is actually difficult to accurately judge the distance and landing point of the trebuchet. At this time, experience is often needed.

"If you can't hit the gap correctly, you will all be executed."

Yelu Dashi's words made the craftsmen tremble.

This is how Wo Kuotai, Yelu Dashi and others enslaved servants and craftsmen. If they win, they will be rewarded, but if they lose, they may be divided into five horses.

"Throw boulders and fireballs over there!"

"But General, the soldiers of Wusun Kingdom are still there..."

"Death, or as I command!"

"yes……"

Yelu Dashi drew out his saber and threatened the soldiers operating the trebuchet.

Dozens of Xiangyang guns threw boulders and fireballs at the same time, and dozens of boulders and fireballs fell like meteorites. This time, the target of the bombardment was the collapsed city wall!

The Han army and Wusun soldiers were fighting fiercely here, and both sides suffered casualties. However, Yelu Dashi commanded the trebuchet phalanx, and attacked the two armies indiscriminately!

boom!

A boulder fell and smashed a Wusun soldier who shot Wang Yanzhang with a bow into a pulp!

Hundreds of kilograms of boulders fell down with the help of gravity,

Enough to punch a pit in the ground!

"Crazy, crazy!"

Holding the iron gun, Wang Yanzhang found that the Mongolian army's catapults had killed even his servants.

boom! ! boom! ! !

Boulders and fireballs roared down, and the two spearmen with silver spears were hit by the fireballs and were killed instantly!

The damage of the Xiangyang cannon is enough to destroy the city walls and arrow towers. Once hit by the thrown boulders and fireballs, even generals will be killed in seconds!

At the gap in the city wall, wolf smoke filled the air, and the Mongolian army once again used weapons such as herbs and wolf dung to paralyze the defenders.

"Well……"

Ma Chao half-kneeled on the ground, supporting his body with a spear. Just now a fireball fell to the ground, the gravel burst, and a piece of gravel covered with flames hit Ma Chao's knee, causing Ma Chao's leg to be injured!

Ma Chao's forehead was covered with sweat, and the fireball not only injured his calf, but also had a burning effect, and there was heart-piercing pain from his knee.

"I can't cry out the pain..."

Ma Chao gritted his teeth. Wang Yanzhang taught Ma Chao spear skills, loyalty, and bravery in the past few years. Even if he was about to die in battle, he could not make a sound!

This is the man from Xiliang!

boom!

The Xiangyang cannon threw the second round of boulders and fireballs, and the bolide covered the defenders at the gap again!

A Xiliang soldier was hit by a fireball in front of Ma Chao, his flesh and blood were bloody, and his whole body was directly wiped out! !

In Ma Chao's current state, if he is hit by a large ninth-order siege machine, he will definitely die in battle!

"Super!"

Ma Teng noticed a blazing fireball falling towards the direction where Ma Chao was standing, and shouted hastily!

He wanted to block the scorching fireball for Ma Chao, but he was too far away to do anything!

Ma Chao looked up at the fireball spinning at high speed. He gritted his teeth trying to avoid the fireball, but his injured calf couldn't use his strength.

What made Ma Chao even more powerless was that he found himself temporarily unconscious.

It is said that when people are most afraid, the body can no longer keep up with consciousness.

Ma Chao closed his eyes and could only wait for the fireball to fall!

Boom!

A burly figure stood in front of Ma Chao, forcibly blocking the huge fireball with a hundred-jin iron spear!

"puff……"

Wang Yanzhang's body flew backwards, hitting heavily on the collapsed ruins, spitting blood!

Wang Yanzhang's battle robe was burned by the flames splashed by the fireball, and the flames even spread to his beard, and shocking cracks appeared on the breastplate on his chest!

"Wang Tieqiang!"

Xu Fengnian led a team of soldiers to come to support, and saw Wang Yanzhang, who was fighting bloody, being hit by a fireball thrown by the ninth-order siege equipment Xiangyang Cannon, his eyes were red!

Wang Tieqiang, in the second year, has been following Xu Fengnian around, fighting in all directions for Xu Fengnian.

And at this time...

"My lord...this place...dangerous...dangerous..."

Wang Yanzhang's sternum has been broken, and the look in his eyes is rapidly disappearing.

"Quick, carry Wang Tieqiang to a safe place, doctor! Doctor!"

Xu Fengnian was hysterical!

Although he was prepared for casualties, he never thought that Wang Tieqiang would be damaged!

Ma Teng went up and took away the injured Ma Chao.

In order to capture Luntai City, Yelu Dashi has frantically and indiscriminately bombarded the Han army and Wusun soldiers with trebuchets, completely treating Wusun soldiers as cannon fodder!

If the Han army wants to hold the gap, it has to bear the frontal bombardment of Xiangyang artillery!

Without a city wall as a fortification, the defenders suffered heavy losses in the face of the boulders and fireballs projected by the Xiangyang artillery. No one could block the trebuchet head-on, except Wang Yanzhang.

But Wang Yanzhang also paid a huge price.

"master!"

Ma Chao realized what had happened, dragged his injured leg and crawled to Wang Yanzhang's side, his eyes were red, and tears flowed down.

Ma Chao is still too young after all.

"In the future, I can't rush... impulsively..."

Wang Yanzhang looked at Ma Chao, and before the vitality in his eyes was about to disappear, he seemed to have fulfilled the harsh hidden conditions and transferred part of his abilities to Ma Chao.

"Successor... someone... lord... Wang Tieqiang can no longer serve... for you..."

Blood kept pouring into his throat, and another mouthful of blood was spit out, Wang Yanzhang's eyes were completely dimmed.

All Xiliang soldiers present were dead silent, only the sound of Ma Chao crying.

Xu Fengnian did not shed tears, but a nameless anger filled his chest.

Xu Fengnian really wants to start a killing spree now, and his anger and violent emotions are suppressed!

"kill!"

Xu Fengnian took away Yang Shihou's silver gun Xiao Jiedu, fought with Wusun soldiers in the gap, and personally stabbed more than ten Wusun soldiers to death!

Blood splashed onto Xu Fengnian's white robe, but the anger in Xu Fengnian's chest still couldn't be relieved!

Boulders and fireballs fell from time to time, killing the Han army or Wusun soldiers at the gap. The fire spread and black smoke billowed, turning this place into a purgatory.

"Take the lord!"

Yang Shihou, the commander of the Silver Gun Effect Festival, was worried that Xu Fengnian would be killed by the Xiangyang artillery, so he ordered the Silver Gun Effect Festival to take the out-of-control Xu Fengnian off the battlefield!

No one is closer than Xu Fengnian to Wang Yanzhang, one of Xu Fengnian's earliest generals.

Even in normal times, Xu Fengnian only called Wang Yanzhang Wang Tieqiang, not Wang Yanzhang!

But now, the military general who has been fighting on the battlefield has died in front of his eyes. This feeling of despair makes people collapse.

Xu Fengnian was forcibly taken off the battlefield by Yin Gun Xiaojie. Xu Fengnian was still struggling hysterically, wanting to avenge Wang Yanzhang.

"I'm going to kill Wo Kuotai and Yelu Dashi!"

Ma Chao wiped away his tears, dragged his injured leg, grabbed Wang Yanzhang's iron gun, and limped towards the gap.

To him, Wang Yanzhang was both a teacher and a friend, passing on his spear skills and the way of being a man. However, he died in battle protecting Ma Chao.

The anger in Ma Chao's heart was no worse than Xu Fengnian's.

The main generals of the Mongolian army who besieged Luntai City were Wo Kuotai and Yelu Dashi!

"They must die!"

There was endless hatred in Ma Chao's eyes, and anger filled his chest.

"Chao'er, no! If you go out now, you are going to die!"

Ma Teng held down Ma Chao, not allowing him to step forward.

Outside the city, more than 100,000 Mongolian cavalry assembled. Ma Chao went forward in his current state, and a centurion could lead his troops to capture Ma Chao alive.

"Father, I'm not reconciled..."

Ma Chao fell into despair.

Seeing the collapse of the Xiliang army, Huo An ordered Chen Tang to lead his troops to replace the Xiliang army and defend the gap.

Yelu Dashi used dozens of Xiangyang cannons to bombard the gap. This tactic was a bit frenzied, and few generals could hold the gap under the bombardment of Xiangyang cannons.

Huo An changed his defensive tactics. In order to avoid the frontal bombardment of Xiangyang artillery, Huo An sent some Wusun soldiers into the city, and then shot them with a strong crossbow, no longer sticking to the dangerous gap.

The simple earth barriers and wooden fences built by Chen Tang at the rear were completed, and a simple urn structure was formed at the gaps. Even if Wusun soldiers invaded the city, they would still face semicircular fortifications. A crossbowman who will shoot enemy soldiers who enter the gap.

Xu Fengnian was restrained by the silver spear effect, and after calming down a little, he leaned against the back of the earth barrier and remained silent.

Huo An came over to comfort the ally.

"The general died in a hundred battles. No one dares to say that he can go through a hundred battles and survive. Gan Yanshou, Jian Mi, and King Loulan, they are all my generals, but now they have all died in battle, I can understand you feeling."

Huo An sat down, and handed a bag of cowhide water bag to Xu Fengnian.

Xu Fengnian couldn't bear such a loss, and Huo An could somewhat understand Xu Fengnian's feelings.

The Mongol Empire is an unprecedentedly powerful enemy. The war with the Mongol Empire has already resulted in the death of too many famous generals, and the Mongol Empire has also lost a number of famous generals, thousands of households, and thousands of households.

"After this expedition to the Western Regions, I plan to quit the ranks of the princes and become a civil servant, or live in seclusion in a rear city..."

Xu Fengnian was disheartened after Wang Yanzhang's death in battle.

The failure to compete with Lao Qin for Liangzhou had little effect on Xu Fengnian, but this time, Wang Yanzhang's death made Xu Fengnian plan to give up his status as a prince.

"How about killing Wokuotai and Yelu Dashi and avenging Wang Tieqiang before giving up the status of Bingzhou Mu? At that time, I can lend you the soldiers and horses of the Protectorate of the Western Regions. I think Chu Zimou should do the same." I will borrow soldiers to avenge you."

Huo An persuaded Xu Fengnian.

Xu Fengnian still has a group of generals under his command, and they can be the key to defeating Wo Kuotai and Yelu Dashi.

"Kill Wokuotai and Yelu Dashi!"

Because of Huo An's words, Xu Fengnian's heart was turbulent again, and his chest was filled with anger.

Wang Yanzhang died under the attack of Wo Kuotai and Yelu Dashi, so Wo Kuotai and Yelu Dashi must pay a heavy price for him!

Huo An took out a special recruitment order: "The cooldown period of this recruitment order will end soon, I can recruit a general, join forces with your general, lead troops out of the city, attack Wokuotai and Yelu Dashi, and kill In short, to avenge Wang Tieqiang."

Xu Fengnian's eyes sparkled: "I promise you!"

Outside the city, Yelu Dashi was still commanding Xiangyang artillery to bombard Luntai City, but he didn't know that his tactics killed a fierce general of the Han Empire and angered Xu Fengnian and his Xiliang army.
