When the alarm sounded, Yang Chengbo was completely stunned.
He strode up to the city wall and froze when he saw the dark mass of grassland bandits rushing towards Cloud City.
A moment later, Yang Chengbo smirked and said coldly, "Heh! These grassland bandits are really looking for death! Do they think that with the main force of my Great Gan Army heading north, Yunzhong City is so easy to bully?"
"They don't even realize that Cloud City has an artillery battalion and a machine gun battalion in addition to our militia!"
Yang Chengbo sneered, looked at his attendants, and ordered, "Yunzhong City is a crucial logistical base for our Great Gan Army's northern expedition against the grassland bandits. It cannot be lost! We must do everything in our power to protect the safety of Yunzhong City!"
"Tell the Yunzhong Militia Corps to go all out to fight!"
"Also, instruct the militia in the city to keep a close eye on those captured grassland bandits!"
Upon hearing Yang Chengbo's words, his attendants immediately began relaying orders.
Meanwhile, the artillery and machine gun battalions on the city wall of Yunzhong also became highly tense.
The soldiers under the artillery battalion immediately went to the city wall and lifted the cannon covers. The dark muzzles were revealed, aimed at the grassland bandits in the open field outside.
Shumu Taiji also saw this scene when it first occurred.
He frowned slightly, a sense of unease creeping into his heart: What were those things on the city wall? Something felt off!
However, before Shumutaiji could figure it out, strange lights flashed across the city wall.
A flash of light appeared, and then visible black dots appeared in the air.
A moment later, a sharp whistling sound came from over.
Upon hearing this voice, Shumu Taiji's expression changed drastically.
not good!
The moment that thought crossed my mind, a barrage of shells rained down on the open field and into the bandit ranks of the grasslands.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A deafening explosion echoed across the open field. Shrapnel from the blast spun rapidly through the air, instantly wounding dozens, even hundreds, of grassland bandits.
The bandits charging in dense formation clearly hadn't expected this scene to unfold.
After the explosion, the smoke dissipated, but a strong, unpleasant smell of blood filled the air.
Some of the grassland bandits and herders were completely stunned. They had never seen such a scene before, and never imagined that they would suffer such a blow so far from Cloud City.
this……
The herdsman trembled slightly as he looked at the scattered limbs and mangled flesh in the open fields around him. He was horrified and couldn't help but tremble.
The surrounding grassland bandits and cavalry were also stunned.
Although they had heard before that the Da Gan Army had an explosive weapon that was very powerful, this was the first time they had ever seen it!
The horrific scene turned everyone's faces pale.
Shumu Taiji, in particular, stood there stunned, speechless for a long time.
However, once again, a chilling, piercing shriek echoed through the air.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
In the sky, countless black dots flew towards us.
Looking up, I saw countless black dots gradually enlarging and falling down.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A devastating explosion rang out, sending countless shrapnel fragments swirling through the air and scattering in a perfect 360-degree arc. In an instant, dozens, even hundreds, of grassland bandits were struck by the shrapnel, their blood flowing freely, limbs severed, lying strewn across the ground!
The mournful cries and shouts were incessant.
In a short period of time, hundreds of grassland bandits were killed or seriously injured on the spot.
Seeing this, Shumu Taiji's heart was bleeding.
I never expected that Cloud City would have such powerful weapons and equipment!
Looking back at the grassland bandits behind him, Shumu Taiji took a deep breath, a serious expression on his face, and shouted in a deep voice, "Charge! Charge through! Kill all these damned dogs!"
He knew that they had reached the outskirts of Cloud City.
Only by giving it your all can you win!
At Shumu Taiji's command, more than 30,000 grassland bandits continued their charge towards Yunzhong City.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A deafening explosion rang out across the open field.
The grassland bandits charged forward, leaving behind a large number of corpses.
After suffering heavy casualties, the grassland bandits were getting closer and closer to Yunzhong City.
At that moment, the machine gunners on the city wall in the clouds released the safety.
Belts of ammunition were already loaded onto the machine guns. The gunner aimed at the grassland bandits who had entered his firing range in the open field and pulled the trigger.
Da da da!
Da da da!
Dozens of machine guns from the machine gun battalion spat out long tongues of fire, and bursts of bullets, like hail falling from the sky, covered the grassland bandits.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
In an instant, the grassland bandits who had just entered the firing range, before they could even recover from the bombardment, were hit by bullets fired from afar.
The grassland bandits groaned, a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of their mouths, and they fell heavily off their horses.
This is……
The army's newest weapon!
Some grassland bandit cavalrymen who had experienced battles between tribal kings and cavalrymen felt their scalps tingle upon hearing these sounds.
How... is this possible?
Didn't they say that the main force of the Da Gan Army had already moved north?
How can they still have such powerful firepower?
These grassland bandits couldn't understand it, and neither could Shumutaiji.
Squinting at the machine guns spewing orange-red flames on the Cloud City Wall, Shumu Taiji's heart bled.
"Charge! Charge!"
Shumutaiji roared hysterically.
At this moment, his only hope is to capture Cloud City.
Only by charging to the city walls might we be able to incite a rebellion among the captured grassland bandits inside the city. With their combined efforts from within and without, there is still hope of taking over Cloud City.
Thinking it over, Shumu Taiji shouted in a deep voice, "Keep charging!"
The surrounding grassland bandits continued charging forward.
Shells rained down from the sky.
A burst of bullets also came flying over.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Da da da!
The sounds of exploding shells and whistling machine guns mingled in the air, creating a unique symphony.
This is a symphony that is soul-crushing and life-stealing!
Each time it rings out, it can take the lives of dozens or even hundreds of grassland bandits!
However, at this moment, the grassland bandits were completely blinded by rage and charged forward recklessly.
With each step forward, countless corpses were left in the wilderness.
Finally, the vanguard of the grassland bandits was approaching the trench defense positions.
Once we cross this trench, we'll be able to get close to Cloud City!
Thinking of this, the grassland bandits charged forward even more fiercely.
Seeing this, the militia members in the trenches shouted, "Fire! Give them a good beating!"
