Chapter 92 Attack

After standing on the hillside and measuring the distance, Xiao Tianjian laughed, pointed to the mountain in the southwest corner of Xiangyang City, and ordered, "The key to breaking Xiangyang is here!" It was rumored to Huang Shengqiang to concentrate all the heavy artillery on this mountain, arrange them one after another, build a solid artillery array, concentrate the firepower in the southwest corner of Xiangyang City, and concentrate the fire to bombard Xiangyang! ......”

At this time, on a corner building in the southwest corner of Xiangyang City, there were also some people who saw the group of Xingtian army people appearing on the hillside outside the city from afar. Among them, an officer and soldier with excellent eyesight immediately shouted, "They are all thieves!" Maybe the thief chief surnamed Xiao is also here! They are looking at the terrain there!"

A thousand generals of officers and soldiers also held the city disc in the distance. It was indeed seen that a group of generals of the Xing Tianjun were looking at the city on the hillside outside the city. The armor on their bodies were polished and shiny. At a glance, they knew that they were not ordinary soldiers, and it seemed that they were surrounded by a person like stars and the moon. He immediately got a little excited.

"Come on! Come on, let me take a closer look! Blow him up! If you are lucky, kill a few thieves and let them know how powerful we are!" The Mr. Qian, who was patrolling the city, immediately ordered to go down.

Before long, a group of gunners of officers and soldiers were called up to the wall. One of them was an old gunner. It was said that he was the most accurate gunner in the army, so he was ordered to be responsible for aiming. A group of officers and soldiers immediately surrounded a red cannon on the wall. After aiming carefully, they immediately Ordered to ignite...

However, as soon as Xiao Tianjian's words fell, he saw a fire flashing on the wall of Xiangyang. In an instant, everyone heard a roar. A shell flew straight over and fell near Xiao Tianjian. The upper half of a guard's body was blown away, and the lower half of the body was still standing on the ground. After a while, it took a while to fall down. The surrounding generals even splashed a lot of blood on Xiao Tian's face. After smashing the guard's body, the cannonballs continued to lose momentum. It hit far away and fell into the mountain. If it was a little more biased, I guess it would hit Xiao Tianjian and others. In the group, it can be seen that this shot is accurate and fierce, and will never be done by ordinary officer gunners.

"Lord, be careful! ..." Tietou and other guards and generals rushed over one after another, stopped Xiao Tianjian and ran down the mountain.

Xiao Tianjian was also shocked by the sudden shelling. After shaking off everyone's arms, he said angrily, "What is this? Don't be nervous! The cannonball that killed my surname is Xiao hasn't been created by the officers and soldiers! Damn, I won't hit you, but you stared at me first! Do it according to my instructions, and bring all the heavy artillery here in one day! Give me a mother-of-law!" Seeing that one of his guards died so miserably, Xiao Tianjian was really angry this time.

This accidental shot also woke up to Xiao Tianjian. The officers and soldiers defending the city were not powerless. There were also several Hongyi guns in the city, which was a great threat to the Xing Tianjun. According to Luo Rucai, some time ago, they tentatively attacked Xiangyang City. Under the bombardment of these red cannons by the officers, the soldiers would be damaged. The loss is very heavy, so it is necessary to be prepared for protection in this siege.

So after Xiao Tianjian went down the mountain, Huang Shengqiang, Liu Xiyao and the drill gopher led the soldiers and engineers to build thick earthen walls for the artillery on the hillside outside the city. As soon as the provincial artillery opened, the Hongyi cannons in the city injured the artillery array of the Xing Tianjun.

After the night, a large number of engineers, soldiers and artillerymen drove to this hillside one after another. Huang Shengqiang sat down in person and chose the artillery position, while Liu Xiyao, the gopher, Li Fusheng and others commanded their soldiers and engineers separately to help the artillery build artillery arrays. In order to prevent artillery, they found a lot of bamboo baskets. Things like baskets, or find straw bags to put them in earth and pile them up in front of the gun position, leaving only a gap for the cannon mouth to reach out. Although there are explosive grenades in this era, because they are unreliable, the fire rate is very low, and the danger is relatively large, so the officers and army's Hongyi cannons are rarely equipped, even the Xing Tianjun himself, It is also rarely used, so the main defense gun is solid bullets, and the power of solid bullets mainly depends on jump bullets. As long as the bullets can't jump up, it can play a good role in anti-guns.

After a day and a night of intense construction, these people not only built a number of solid gun positions on the hillside in the southwest corner of Xiangyang City, but also opened several staggered passages on the hillside.

Of course, the defenders in the city were not blind. They saw it clearly. The experienced generals immediately realized what Xing Tianjun was going to do, and quickly reported the situation to the generals stationed in Xiangyang City. They were as fierce as tigers, so they hurried to the southern corner of the city and looked at the hills outside the city. Even if they were shocked, they were old like him. For the man in the army, he could see at a glance what the criminal thieves outside the city wanted to do, so he hurriedly ordered to transport several Hongyi cannons in the city to the south of the city, shelling the hillsides outside the city, and preventing the criminal thieves from continuing to work on the hillside.

At the same time, he also ordered Liu Shijie to immediately organize a man from the west gate of the city to fight with the Xingtian thief on the hillside to prevent them from continuing the construction on the hillside.

There is no problem in judgment and command. It can be said that this is the most correct choice he can make at present, but his efforts have not played much role for Xing Tianjun. After having the staff and brainstorming, the current combat deployment of Xing Tianjun is quite perfect. After Xiao Tianjian's order, Li Xin and other staff officers naturally expected the reaction of the officers and soldiers in the city. Outside all the gates in advance, they were prepared to prevent the officers and soldiers from counterattacking out of the city.

Although the tiger mobilized a few Hongyi cannons to bombard the hillside, after all, the number is small. As soon as the cannons sounded in the city, the construction personnel immediately found a place to lie down to hide the cannons. The continuous shooting of the Hongyi cannon is easy to cause spontaneous combustion or explosion at high temperature. It always takes a break to shoot a few shots, so although the Hongyi cannon is not small, but For the Xingtian army who are decentralized in construction and pay attention to the anti-artillery, the killing is not very serious. Even if it affects the construction speed, it is not very big.

Therefore, after the construction of the artillery array, Huang Shengqiang dragged a large number of heavy artillery brought by the army to the hillside at night and arranged them to the position overnight. A batch of ammunition was also transported to the hillside, stored in several strong bunkers, and prepared for the shelling of Xiangyang City.
