The next day.
Wuliangha launched a general attack on Shuozhou City!
Tens of thousands of Tatars came like a tide, and the offensive was unprecedentedly fierce!
Arrows covered the sky, huge siege vehicles rammed the city gates, and countless ladders filled the city walls!
Han Zhong sat in the center, constantly deploying troops and generals. His face was pale and the blood he coughed up stained his clothes red.
Generals such as Tang Yanhai, Xi Sheng, Shi Yong, and Zhong Meng all fought bloody battles on the city walls.
Wu Shangzhi and Guo Luo led a thousand cavalrymen consisting of Wuhuan and Dayin people and waited in the city.
With the help of his men, Wang Tiezhu also pushed his wheelchair to the top of the city wall.
Ma Bao, along with Doctor Liu, Doctor Zhou and other doctors and waiters from the clinic, set up a temporary medical aid point in the city to rescue the wounded.
Even Lao Li, Lao Zhang and Shi Gang brought the people from their restaurant to provide food, water and other supplies to the defenders in the city.
Zhao Wen and Bai Ruolan even organized the civilians in the city to help defend the city.
Yin Yao was not idle either. While urging Xiao Cheyun to join the battle, she also took the initiative to help Zhao Wen and Bai Ruolan.
At this moment, the hearts of everyone in Shuozhou City were twisted together.
However, due to the siege by King Loufan and King Zhelan last time, the defenders of Shuozhou suffered heavy casualties, and the 3,000 soldiers recruited by Zhong Dahu were not well trained.
Faced with the fierce offensive, the soldiers and civilians of Shuozhou fought desperately, blood flowed like a river, and the city defense was in crisis in many places!
Seeing that a section of the city wall at the north gate was about to be breached, a large number of Tartars rushed to the top of the city wall howling!
"Now is the time! Old Tang, it's up to you now!"
A fierce look flashed in Han Zhong's eyes, and he said to Tang Yanhai beside him.
Tang Yanhai nodded: "I've been waiting for you to say this, Old Han. I'm going to let them taste the power of these black guys."
"Deputy Commander Liu! Move!"
Immediately, Liu Yi, the deputy captain of the Shenji Camp, waved his hand and called ten soldiers from the Shenji Camp.
Ten soldiers came running over with backpacks on their backs.
"Light the fire, target the ladders under the city wall and the area where the Tatars are most concentrated!" Liu Yi gave a loud order.
The soldiers took out their fire starters and, following the method Zhao Muyun had taught them in the secret valley, immediately ignited ten huge thunder bombs and threw them with all their might at the area where the Tartars were most concentrated under the city!
Han Zhong and Tang Yanhai held their breath and dared not blink.
Although they had seen the damage that the thunder bomb had done to earth walls, this was the first time they had seen it used to kill or injure people.
In addition, Zhao Muyun also reminded Tang Yanhai and Liu Yi to carefully observe the explosion process of the thunder bomb.
The Tartars, who were as densely packed as ants, looked at the black, smoking objects falling from the sky and thought they were ordinary rocks, so they didn't pay much attention to them.
They were worried that it would hit them on the head, so they just avoided it subconsciously.
But the next moment!
boom!
boom!
boom!
A series of earth-shaking explosions suddenly exploded!
The earth is shaking!
Flames burst out, thick smoke billowed, and broken nails and gravel flew everywhere!
The climbing ladder was blown to pieces!
The densely packed Tatars under the city wall were like being hit hard by an invisible giant hand, and a large number of them fell down in an instant!
Broken limbs and arms flew everywhere, and the screams were even drowned out by the sound of the explosion!
The huge noise and terrifying killing effect stunned all the Tartars!
The momentum of the charge was stagnant!
The Tartars on the city wall were also stunned, frightened out of their wits by this horrific scene they had never seen before!
Then, Tang Yanhai and Liu Yi's eyes lit up when they saw that the thunderbolt had such tremendous power.
Han Zhong opened his mouth wide, looking excited.
Zhao Tou has been lying dormant for so long pretending to be dead, but he is so shocking when he comes out!
"Give them a few dozen more to try!" Han Zhong slapped the city wall and shouted.
Liu Yi took the order and immediately ordered another fifty soldiers from the Shenji Camp to move forward.
Sizzle!
Fifty thunder bombs emitting flames and thick smoke were thrown into the motionless group of Tatars under the city.
Explosions rang out one after another. The thunder bombs had a greater power in the dense crowd, and at least seven or eight Tartars were blown away.
After fifty of them were fired, the Tartars were thrown to the ground on the north gate wall, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.
"Heavenly thunder! It's heavenly thunder!"
Some Tartar screamed in terror.
"The Yin people have the help of immortals! Run!"
Panic spread among the Tartar army like a plague!
The Tatars, who were originally fearless of death, instantly lost their morale when faced with this unknown and terrifying force, and began to retreat in terror!
Even the Wuliangha who was supervising the battle in the rear was stunned by the sudden series of explosions and the chaos in front, and almost fell off his horse!
"What's going on? What is that?"
He roared in horror.
No one could answer him.
Looking at the collapsed soldiers, Wuliangha knew that today's attack might be difficult to sustain.
Although these explosions caused only a few hundred casualties, the unknown power and superstition about gods and monsters brought huge psychological trauma to the soldiers.
If we want to launch another attack, we need to mentally restore the soldiers.
On the top of Shuozhou City, although the defenders were also deafened and dizzy by the loud noise, when they saw the Tartars retreat, they immediately burst into wild cheers of surviving the disaster!
"Divine Thunder! It is the spirit of Lord Zhao in heaven blessing us!"
"Kill! Kill these Tartars!"
Morale boosted!
The defenders took advantage of the situation to counterattack and drove all the remaining Tartars off the city walls!
The first wave of Uriankhai's siege was beaten back in such an incredible way!
The corpses of the Tartars were scattered all over the ground, and the casualties were heavy. More importantly, a fear of heavenly thunder was deeply rooted in their hearts.
