Chapter 491: Comprehensive Siege

"Boom, boom, boom"

Nine loud explosions exploded on the east gate of Bingcheng.

The sound was like thunder, and it could be heard for miles. The whole city could hear it. Nine flames were like meteors falling from the sky, accompanied by thick smoke. In the shocked eyes of the Jinxia soldiers, several large gaps were broken at the battlements, smoke and dust rolled, and gravel flew. Several people were unable to dodge and were bloody on the spot.

Hundreds of Jinxia defenders around them ran away and scattered to avoid.

Yesterday they saw the horror of Chen Jun's "strange thunder", which was beyond human resistance and made them panic all day. Now it came again, how dare they stand on the city wall as a live target, squatting and lying down.

If it weren't for Gar's death order to hold on, I'm afraid they would all flee under the city wall.

Just when they thought they would be fine after resisting one round like yesterday.

So when they heard the sound stop, they had to stick to their posts again.

As a result, at this moment.

"Boom boom. Boom."

Nine more fire pythons fell on the wall of the east gate of Bingcheng. Shrapnel exploded, and broken iron pieces and gravel flew with the smoke. Many Jinxia defenders were injured by iron pieces and gravel, and lay on the ground and wailed.

This scene frightened the Jinxia defenders who were also preparing to return to their posts and retreated again.

It was during this gap that Chen Mo ordered the soldiers besieging the city to advance towards the east gate.

Tuoba Zhu and Gar were standing on the top of the city, with a strong innate spiritual energy all over their bodies. They did not avoid Chen Jun's "strange thunder".

After noticing the advance of Chen Jun, Gar immediately realized that Chen Jun might be attacking the city, and hurriedly ordered the defenders to meet the enemy.

However, the defenders on the city wall were suppressed by the artillery fire and could not raise their heads. Unlike Tuoba Zhu and Gar, they could not mobilize the innate spiritual energy to protect their bodies. In the roaring sound, they were afraid to move forward.

At this time, Chen Jun outside the east gate had advanced to the moat.

The Chen army in the front row set up iron shields and built the first line of defense.

Then the catapults were transported forward and placed behind this line of defense.

At this time, the shrapnel and solid iron balls had been fired.

The East Gate of Bingcheng, which was originally solid, is now in ruins.

The pungent smell of gunpowder and sulfur filled the wall, and wailing sounded one after another.

It was not until the loud noise stopped for about half a minute that the Jinxia defenders on the East Gate dared to look up, and with panic on their faces, they approached the battlement and looked outside the city.

The next moment, their pupils dilated instantly, and they saw an "iron wall" standing beside the moat, and behind the iron wall, there were hundreds of catapults.

Chang En waved the flag in his hand with excitement: "Fire."

Behind each catapult, there stood a thrower, who quickly ignited the "pottery bomb" in the bomb basket after receiving the order.

"Hoo, hoo, hoo"

Instantly, hundreds of catapults responded and threw the ignited pottery bombs at the defenders on the city wall.

"Boom boom."

The broken pottery pieces and the nails and wood chips inside them flew on the city wall with the explosion, and countless Jinxia defenders holding swords and guns screamed in pain.

The wall was cleared in an instant.

At this moment, Gar, who was standing on the top of the city, changed his face and said, "Why is this strange thunder different from the previous one?"

"Not good, Chen Jun has crossed the river." Tuoba Zhu raised his eyebrows.

Under the cover of the pottery bombs dropped by the catapults, the first line of defense established by Chen Jun opened several gaps. A team of four strong men with bare upper bodies carried a boat the size of an ordinary fishing boat down the moat.

There were dozens of such teams.

After they went down the moat, they lined up the boats in a row, laid wooden boards on them, and connected all the dozens of boats.

"The Chen army is building a floating bridge, quickly give orders to stop them." Tuoba Zhu said in a hurry.

Gar's heart also trembled when he saw this.

In order to better defend Bingcheng, they not only widened the moat, but also destroyed all the bridges across the river.

In Gar's mind, even if the Chen army's "strange thunder" was powerful, it would be useless as long as they could not cross the moat.

"Quickly shoot arrows, shoot arrows."

Gar hurriedly ordered.

However, under the suppression of running fire, there were few archers who could counterattack.

Not only that, ordinary bows and arrows could not shoot so far.

And some large baggage such as Jinxia's catapults had long been taken away by Timur when he went south.

With the demise of Timur, these baggage were naturally destroyed and seized by the Chen army.

"Where is the crossbow, quickly use the crossbow to shoot"

Tuoba Zhu watched the arrows that flew off the string fly to the middle of the moat and fell into the water, which could not cause any casualties at all, and hurriedly urged Gar to order the use of the crossbow.

But Gar's personal soldiers said: "Our bed crossbow was just destroyed by Chen Jun's strange thunder."

Just when Gar's face changed drastically and he was thinking about how to deal with it, bad things happened one after another, and his subordinates reported it.

The south gate and north gate of Bingcheng were also attacked by Chen Jun.

Although Bingcheng had more than 30,000 Jinxia soldiers, after Chen Mo besieged the city, Gar was dispersed to four gates for defense. In addition, people were needed to maintain order in the city and guard the granary, so the number of defenders on each wall was relatively small.

Now that the three gates were attacked at the same time, it undoubtedly brought great pressure to Gar.

"Hold on, hold on, no matter what method you use, you can't let Chen Jun cross the moat." Gar said anxiously.

Unlike the siege but not attack in the previous days, the Chen army today attacked the city fiercely.

On the moat, there were many bodies of Chen army soldiers floating.

As the pontoon bridge was built close to the city wall, the archers on the city wall could shoot.

But these did not stop the Chen army, but continued to move forward bravely.

The pontoon bridge will soon be completed.

On this day, the setting sun in the evening was like blood, and the sunset glow dyed the sky, a blood-red, just like the tragic battlefield with blood flowing below, bright red and dazzling.

The pontoon bridge outside the East City Gate was successfully built.

"Let the Xianzhen Guard withdraw, and let the Shenwu Guard and Jiangdong Army attack the city."

The construction of the pontoon bridge caused some casualties to the Xianzhen Guard, but Chen Mo's face did not change much.

After all, in a siege, even if there is artillery cover, facing such a wide moat, there will be more or less casualties, as long as the casualties are not large, it is acceptable.

The reason why Chen Mo did not attack the city in the past few days, in addition to attacking the heart, was that he also asked the Cavalry Guards and the Imperial Guards to cut down trees and build boats to build a floating bridge.

"Woo woo woo"

The sharp and long horn sounded, and the Shenwu Guards and Jiangdong Army outside the East City Gate, holding round shields, swords and guns, and some carrying ladders, rushed towards the East City Gate through the floating bridge.

"Catapult Cover"

The pottery bombs are gone, and now they are dropping stone bombs.

ps: I'm a little stuck.
