At the command, the soldiers loaded their shells and fired. The same operation was carried out at Wang Fa's southern gate.
"Boom boom boom..." Two waves of shells flew towards the west and south gates of Wucheng...
On the city gate, two guards were talking excitedly.
The city guard said, "Let me tell you, that widow Li in the south of the city, tsk tsk tsk, she's really... Hey, is there thunder?"
Soldier B: "Who cares if there's thunder or not? Tell me what happened to Widow Li."
The city guard said: "Oh, Widow Li... Ah, how can I fly?"
"Boom..." The bombing began, and the area near the city gate was filled with artillery fire.
The blast from the exploding shells blew away many of the guards on the city gates, who were blown directly off the city wall and fell to the ground outside the city. They twitched twice and then died.
Among them were the soldiers guarding the city who were still muttering about Widow Li.
Wucheng was in chaos in an instant, and the people in the city were frightened and ran away.
However, the defenders of the city were confused about the appearance of this first-time hot weapon and thought it was a divine thunder from the sky.
After a round of artillery fire, Jiang Hai stopped and took out a telescope to observe the situation at the city gate.
As expected, the defenders did not realize they were under attack.
A moment later, new defenders were seen carrying the bodies of the first wave of victims.
"Hehe, a bunch of little cuties." Jiang Hai let out a wicked smile, "Keep firing. Now take turns. After three rounds, adjust the muzzle and continue inside."
"Yes." The artilleryman responded.
Shells flew out one after another, landing and exploding near the west gate of Wucheng.
The movements at the South Gate were basically synchronized with those at the West Gate. After the first round of Wang Fa, he ordered the artillery to wait for any movement at the West Gate, and they would bombard the West Gate as soon as they started.
The continuous bombardment made Dugu Qiu's eyes twitch, "This..."
Seeing that he was almost speechless, Jiang Hai patted the old man's shoulder, wiped his hands, and said happily,
"Senior, how do you feel? Is it exciting?"
Dugu Qiu was still in shock, not realizing that his clothes had been damaged by Jiang Hai and were covered in dirt.
Only Dugu Qiu had never seen such a scene before. Yuchi Ziling and Cai'er had seen it before at sea. Dugu Qiu nodded and said,
"Amazing! You guys even managed to bring out the heavenly thunder! This is too brutal."
"There's nothing much to say about these barbarians. Their army has already reached Donggu Pass. If the pass is breached, they will be even more brutal to our people."
Jiang Hai spoke lightly, looking deeply at Wucheng, where flowers were still blooming everywhere.
Dugu Qiu thought for a moment and nodded, "This is the true behavior of a hero."
"Old Qiu, you've finally figured it out. How about joining our new city? We'll teach you how to show off and fly."
Jiang Hai reached out again and prepared to pat Dugu Qiu's shoulder.
This time his intention was discovered, and Dugu Qiu raised his one arm to push away his dirty hands.
"What is pretentious?"
“It’s what you enjoy doing.”
"What do I like to do?"
“Ask your heart.”
"All right."
Dugu Qiu responded with an "OK". Seeing that Jiang Hai was still looking through the telescope, he became curious and asked Jiang Hai what he was doing.
Jiang Hai handed him the telescope, allowing him to experience the baptism of a new era again.
The artillery bombarded for a while. Seeing that it had almost finished, Jiang Hai raised his hand to signal to stop.
"Done. Stop."
Raising the telescope, Jiang Hai continued to look towards Wucheng.
In Wucheng, the south and west parts of the city were bombed into pieces, with broken walls everywhere.
The defenders fled in panic, shouting "Enemy attack, enemy attack", but there was no sign of the enemy.
Originally, there were more defenders in Wucheng on both sides of the West Gate and the South Gate, which were the two gates closest to Darong.
After the smoke cleared, after such a bombardment by the Xincheng Corps, Wucheng’s combat power was probably less than 30% left.
The effect was much better than expected. Before, Jiang Hai was worried that they would send cavalry to search.
After watching for a long time, I didn't see a single soldier coming out. They must have been stunned by the panic.
So the question arises. Jiang Hai was thinking, should he just leave or go into the city to take a look.
At this time, the team led by Wang Fa made a detour and joined Jiang Hai's team.
"Master, what should we do next? Go into the city?"
"Let me think about it..." Jiang Hai thought for a while.
According to our observation just now, there are not many defenders in this city. We can go in to get horses and quickly meet up with Wu Gong and the others.
Jiang Hai was about to say yes when Yuchi Ziling spoke first, "Let's go, let's go into the city and kill the barbarian dogs."
“…”
The corners of Jiang Hai's mouth twitched, as if he discovered the terrifying side of Miss Yuchi, a warmonger.
"Okay, let's go. Be careful and try not to cause any casualties." Jiang Hai said.
The soldiers of the Xincheng Corps put down the extra artillery shells and other items, lined up lightly and prepared to enter the city to clean up the battlefield.
Dugu Qiu walked beside Jiang Hai. Before anyone else could react, he drew Cai'er's sword and said,
"I'll keep you safe."
"Thank you, Lao Qiu." Jiang Hai grinned, "That's right."
Cai'er stared at the scabbard with wide eyes. She had no idea when this person drew her sword.
The west gate had collapsed, the city wall was in ruins, and there were few defenders to be seen.
The team quickly approached the west city gate, and the soldiers in the front row held shields to guard against possible hidden arrows.
No resistance was found until the west gate, so the team went straight into the city through the smoke.
According to the goal set earlier, they searched for horses and killed any Hu Can defenders they encountered.
At this time, there was a figure on the city wall staring at the team entering the city below. Blood was dripping from his body, and he looked unwillingly in the direction of Jiang Hai and the others.
He pulled the bowstring and aimed at Dugu Qiu who was not wearing armor.
The defenders thought that Dugu Qiu was the leader because he was dressed differently from the others.
"Swish." The arrow flew away, and the defender breathed his last and fell on the city wall.
When the arrow flew out, Dugu Qiu noticed something strange, turned around and wanted to raise his sword to block it.
Unfortunately, he was a little slow, and the arrow hit his injured leg directly.
The old man was sweating coldly, thinking to himself, "Oh no!"
"Damn it."
With a "bang", the arrow hit the leg armor given to him by Jiang Hai and bounced off.
Everyone reacted at once and turned around to see that the person who shot the arrow had fallen down.
Still feeling frightened, Dugu Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.
"See, I told you to wear armor but you didn't. It's easy to dodge a spear, but hard to guard against an arrow." Jiang Hai curled his lips.
I feel like this old man doesn't seem very reliable.
Dugu Qiu still wanted to pretend, but this time it was thanks to the leg armor given by Jiang Hai, otherwise his leg would have been injured twice.
"There won't be a next time." Dugu Qiu finally pretended to be calm.
"Okay, I tell you, sooner or later you'll be struck by lightning."
After a search, it was found that the defenders were almost all killed or wounded, and the few who resisted stubbornly were all killed.
When they were almost searching the south of the city, they heard the sound of horse hooves.
"Reinforcements from the other two gates should be arriving. Prepare to meet the enemy." Jiang Hai ordered.
