Chapter 579
That night, it seemed quite calm and stable. The Han army flag in Jinzhou was doing its best to strengthen the city wall and using all means to make its city wall stronger.
And the enemy on the opposite side, the thousand cannons, never spoke again, just stared at Jinzhou City.
However, the barracks behind the artillery positions were like the Han army flag soldiers in Jinzhou City, and there was no real stability.
Cut down trees overnight, create ladders after clouds, and create one necessary equipment for siege after another.
Behind them, from Nanguan to the military camp, in the snow and ice, countless people and men braved the bitter cold wind and the cold that was hard to see in a century, transporting the materials needed for the front line continuously.
During this period, I don’t know how many people and men were frostbite and frozen to death.
However, no one complained that everyone silently devoted their efforts.
Because everyone knows that only by opening Jinzhou can we open the passage to southern Liaoning and save our hometown.
The night was over, and the young Mao Kexi was still under the light, carefully observing the map. None of his 20 captains were sleepy and stared at his coach.
"You go and have a rest, because at this time, there is no trick at this battle. Our only way is to attack fiercely." Then we looked at the twenty captains and said in a deep voice: "It is to fill it with human lives."
All the captains remained silent.
On the second day, before the skylight was bright, the unique sound of trumpets in Dongjiang Town began to ring in the military camp.
With the sound of horns, teams of soldiers began to get up and began to face a cruel battle.
In this era, siege is the most cruel battle. Often, three or five hundred defenders can block the attack of thousands of people. If these thousands of people attack, it would almost cost the entire army to kill if they wanted to seize the city guarded by three or five hundred people.
All the soldiers knew that they would be the corpse in front of that city, but none of them showed depression and despair, but were full of confidence.
War is different from before. When cannons became the dominant battlefield, the city opposite was no longer an obstacle to the army's progress.
Especially the cannons in Dongjiang Town have become the sharpest firearm in the world, and those that block in front of them will become powder.
A sure victory has become the confidence of all soldiers.
However, when the sky was really bright, the scene presented to all the soldiers and the most important scene in front of Mao Kexi completely shocked everyone.
The Jinzhou City in front of me is no longer what everyone saw last night, but has become an indestructible ice city covered in silver.
In the south, people may not understand the strength of ice. But people in the north know that a thick layer of ice is an indestructible existence.
The 10,000 teams that attacked in advance later were helpless in the face of such a strong city.
Mao Kexi, who was standing at the front of the team, had a gloomy face. In the hesitant gaze of Captain Twenty, he slowly pulled out the sword from his waist.
The sword is cold, reflecting the cold sunshine without a trace of heating.
"My warriors, even if they are solid in front of them, even if they are so-called indestructible, they must be destroyed in front of our Dongjiang Town soldiers."
Then he took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "No one can stop us from moving forward in order to rescue our home. Even if the fortress in front of us is forged by the gods, we must use our lives and blood to destroy it."
All the soldiers were excited and raised their arms and shouted: "Destroy, destroy."
"Brothers of artillery, use all your abilities to open a passage for our infantry brothers."
Ten thousand artillery brothers remained silent, and they silently loaded shells.
Facing the Ice City wearing armor, flowering bullets were simply a waste, so all 1,000 cannons were loaded with live ammunition.
Mao Kexi swung his sword, and 1,000 cannons spit out flames and hit the huge and fiery bullets at the opposite city wall.
When Liu Zhijin saw the enemy cannons roaring, he immediately shouted loudly: "Let's go down, all lie down." Then he was the first one, covered his head, rolled under the female wall, and hid in a dead corner. Then he prayed to the gods and Buddhas all over the sky, "Don't hit me, don't hit me."
The sound of cannons was earth-shaking, and the projectiles roared and hit Jinzhou City accurately in a blink of an eye.
However, there is no flowering bullet that people fear, just some solid bullets.
But the power of these shells was not exerted on the thick ice wall that was frozen overnight. It was just that one crater after another was smashed on the surface of the city wall, and pieces of ice chips flew up.
The enemy's cannons kept roaring, but the threat was not great. Even the female wall around them did not cause much damage.
Liu Zhijin's courage became stronger. Without the original fear, he let go of his hands holding his head, and slowly raised his head and looked outward from the battlements of the city wall.
A cannonball flew over his head whistling, and he felt the heat brought by the cannonball, which made his face hurt.
However, he discovered again that as long as it was not a flowering bullet, the enemy's artillery would be almost in danger to him.
So his courage became stronger, he straightened his body, took out the general's momentum, and faced the enemy's howling shells, showing that he was not afraid of danger.
With his leadership, the Han soldiers around him stood up from the shelter, straightened their bodies, and stood at the top of the city.
Looking at the revived momentum of the soldiers around him, supervising Oboi, he said to Liu Zhijin with approval: "You Han people are right. Generals are the courage of soldiers. In this world, there are only generals who are afraid of death, and no soldiers who are afraid of death. Then he sneered: "From now on, as the supervisor, I actually have no need to supervise those slaves, but as long as you supervise the battle well, you can do it. As long as you, the general, are brave, our Jinzhou City will become an indestructible fortress."
After being praised by his master, Liu Zhijin felt very honored, "Master, don't worry, as long as I am here, Jinzhou City will be as solid as a soup."
Then he looked outside the city, and the confidence just now faded instantly.
Just outside the city, 10,000 well-equipped Dongjiang Town soldiers began to advance here like dark clouds.
Their weapons and their equipment are enough to make people scared. But what makes people scared is their momentum and their determination.
