Chapter 90 Bombarding the Twin Cities

Thump! Thump! Thump!

A dull sound echoed across the city wall.

Even the brick and stone city walls could not withstand the impact of solid iron bullets weighing up to twenty pounds.

Beneath the huge depressions, some bricks and stones had fallen off, and the rammed earth behind them could even be seen.

At this rate, how long can the walls of Shuangchengfu hold out?

President Hajiron had some doubts.

Originally, he pinned his hopes on the city walls of Shuangchengfu, intending to rely on them to defend Shuangchengfu.

As long as they can hold out until the Khan's reinforcements arrive, Shuangcheng Prefecture will be safe. Moreover, they might even be able to launch a counterattack against the Dongning army.

Taking Dongning City is not impossible.

But now, everything has changed!

When the Grand Commander Hajiron saw solid iron bullets raining down from the sky, he felt a chill run down his spine.

If the walls of Shuangcheng Prefecture are destroyed, the Dongning army outside the city, with the immense power of the thunderbolts, will probably be unable to stop the three or four thousand elite cavalry inside the city!

what to do?

what to do?

For a moment, President Hajirang became somewhat anxious.

"Commander-in-Chief, something terrible has happened!"

Just then, a general rushed over and said, "The south gate wall has collapsed."

"What?"

Grand President Hajiron was completely stunned.

How could it be so fast?

What he didn't know was that Shuangchengfu had experienced war before the new year.

The city walls of Shuangcheng Prefecture were already somewhat damaged at that time, and have not been repaired much since.

Therefore, it began to crack and collapse after several rounds of attacks from the Shenji Battalion's Great General Cannon.

At this rate, it's estimated that the walls of Shuangcheng Prefecture will be...

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Just as Hajilang was thinking, another round of cannonballs fell from the sky, hitting the city wall with a dull thud.

Brick and stone fragments flew everywhere, hitting the grassland bandits and instantly creating a cloud of blood mist.

The broken bricks and stones fell off, and the entire city wall became precarious.

At that moment, the Dongning army on the distant open ground moved.

Captain Zhang Cheng of the Divine Might Battalion led nearly two thousand soldiers of the Divine Might Battalion to surround Shuangcheng Prefecture.

At the same time, the remaining soldiers of the Shenji Battalion pushed the catapults forward.

Once the catapults reached their firing range, the soldiers of the Divine Machine Battalion placed their thunderbolts and hurled them toward the walls of Shuangcheng Prefecture.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The deafening explosions of the thunderclaps continued incessantly.

The metal fragments from the explosion spun at high speed and struck the hiding grassland bandits, instantly splattering a cloud of blood mist.

In an instant, dozens of grassland bandits were mangled and killed on the spot.

This was the first time that Grand Commander Hajiron had seen the power of the Thunderclap Bomb up close!

He was completely stunned.

"Commander-in-Chief, watch out!"

His trusted confidant spoke up to offer a reminder.

President Hajirang turned to look at his trusted confidant beside him, his expression still somewhat dazed.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The dull thuds of impact still echoed on the city walls.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The deafening explosions continued unabated.

In a short period of time, countless cracks appeared in the brick and stone city wall. As the bricks and stones broke and peeled off, the rammed earth inside was exposed.

However, the rammed earth was not solid. Under the impact of a solid iron ball weighing twenty pounds, it fell like fragments.

After an unknown period of time, the southern part of the city finally succumbed to the heavy impact and bombing.

boom!

With a muffled thud, the city wall, over twenty zhang long, collapsed. The grassland bandits on the wall were buried beneath the mound of earth.

Seeing this, President Hajirang was completely dumbfounded.

this……

How long has it been?

The walls of Shuangcheng Prefecture have collapsed just like that?

How long can Shuangchengfu hold out if things continue like this?

"quick!"

The Grand Commander, Hajiron, roared hysterically, "Tell the men to fill the gap!"

We need to act quickly; we can't let the Dongning people take the opportunity to invade!

quick! "

After giving a few instructions, the city's guards obeyed and ran towards the breach with sandbags on their backs.

Sandbags were thrown one by one into the gap.

However, these sandbags were a drop in the ocean for a gap that was more than twenty feet long, and could not completely seal it off.

For a moment, Hajirang also became somewhat anxious.

Fortunately, the Dongning army in the distance did not attack immediately.

Although the infantry did not attack, the Shenji Battalion continued its indiscriminate bombing.

The cannonballs of the General's Cannon, Thunderclap.

These two items, as if they were free, flew into the sky in dense numbers and fell towards Shuangcheng Mansion.

In a short period of time, the breach in the city wall of Shuangchengfu was continuously widened.

The collapsed city walls were as high as thirty or forty feet long.

"Your Highness,"

Shenwei Colonel Zhang Cheng approached Li Xin and said, "The walls of Shuangcheng Prefecture have collapsed. The time is ripe. Shall we attack the city?"

No rush.

Li Xin waved his hand casually and said, "Let's bombard them a little longer!"

Strive for a decisive battle to shatter the will of the grassland bandits within the city to resist!

Let them be terrified!

At that time, it will be much easier for the infantry to attack the city!

Don't be stingy with shells and the like!

The lives of our soldiers are the most important!

"Strive to take down Twin Cities with minimal casualties!"

"clear!"

Captain Zhang Cheng nodded in agreement.
