When they went out of the door, they ran into Li Guang who was equally panicked. They just realized that it was already noon and there was no one else in the alley. They were the only two who had not yet gotten up, and both had bloodshot eyes, as if the other had been daydreaming like them last night.

The two men smiled awkwardly, bowed hurriedly, and then went together to look for their respective donkeys - this was the standard equipment for civil servants in the city, horses were to be used by the army, mules were to be used to transport supplies, and only donkeys were available for civil servants to ride around.

The two men rode their donkeys out of the town, and before they had taken a few steps, they realized what was going on, because along the way, hundreds of new artillery carts that had been prepared in the city began to start up and adjust their positions.

Obviously, the Jin army's artillery vehicles were arranged in formation outside the city, and what happened just now should have been the Jin army testing the artillery.

At this point in the battle, the most difficult and also the most critical stage of defending the city, namely the artillery battle stage, finally arrived.

"Are you ready?" Still on the north city wall, through the ground in front that had long been flattened by the war, Emperor Zhao squinted at the general platform opposite, then suddenly turned around and asked.

"We have already adjusted the direction and force according to the observations from the top of the city wall." Chen Gui was sweating profusely in the winter. "Your Majesty, please go to the temporary palace to take shelter. I will take care of it on the top of the city wall..."

"No problem." Zhao Jiu shook his head and laughed. "Didn't you say that? Your city walls are the best at defending against artillery fire. I can just go down to the city and take shelter there."

"Your Majesty, please go down now!" Chen Gui tried to persuade him again. "The enemy troops set up their positions overnight. Two hundred artillery vehicles are divided into four battalions facing each other. The gun test has been completed and they can fire at any time..."

"No need to wait for them!" Zhao Jiu continued to laugh, pointing at the general platform in the north. "I'm on the city wall, waiting for you to fire the first round of cannonballs, and then go down!"

Chen Gui understood what the other party meant, so he stopped trying to persuade him, and simply turned back to pass on the order. In a moment, flags were waving everywhere on the top of the city wall, signaling the various artillery vehicles that had already been prepared in the city to prepare to fire in volleys according to the already prepared trajectory, taking the initiative!

"I don't believe it!" On the Jin army's platform, Wanyan Wushu finally smiled again. "In this situation today, can he still hold back from ejaculating?"

"That's right!" Chi Zhanhui echoed, twirling his beard. "I also want to see what's so strange about the artillery carts in Nanyang City? How could they have been able to hold back until today!"

"fire!"

Just as Wanyan Wushu and others were eagerly waiting, Emperor Zhao on the city wall heard Chen Gui's words, but he used an incredible word to give the final military order.

However, everyone can understand it below the old rules.

"Fire!" Chen Gui raised his voice and ordered the messenger beside him.

The herald officer said nothing, but waved a flag that had not been moved for half a month. There were countless flags on the top of the city, and after seeing the flag waved here, they also waved at the same time. When the civilians in the artillery bases of the Song army saw the flag, they did not use more than a dozen people to pull it like outside the city. Instead, they just sent a strong civilian to carry a big wooden hammer and hit the strange "crotch" of the artillery cart they were responsible for!

With just one blow, the mechanism on the crotch of the artillery vehicle opened, and a large basket filled with counterweight stones fell straight down, and then the projection module at the rear loaded with different "ammunition" was raised high.

Next, hundreds of bullets flew out of Nanyang City together. Some were big, some were small, some were made of polished stones, and some were even made of mud. It was truly spectacular... When Li Guang and Wanqi Xie saw this, they simply stopped their donkeys and watched.

However, the two of them only felt it was spectacular, but they didn't know that after the projectiles flew out of the city... the former, that is, stone projectiles, most of them went straight to the corresponding Jin army's artillery positions, while the latter, that is, mud projectiles the size of a human head, there were only about dozens of them, all fired from the high platform close to the city wall, but they flew high over the city wall, and with an incredible range, directly hit the Jin army general platform to the north.

Over there, under the warm winter sunshine, the words of the veteran general of the Jin army, Wanhu Chizhanhui, had just fallen, and were being echoed by countless Meng'ans and Moukes.
