The west wall of Jinyang City.

The Youzhou Army General was three-story high and almost level with the city wall, slowly advancing. On the third floor of the building, the car was covered with thick cowhide and iron shields were hung outside. More than a dozen crossbowmen hid behind the car and aimed at the tilted arrows on the city wall.

In order to deal with the densely packed carts of Youzhou Army, the Tang army on the city temporarily built three battle sheds here, and the soldiers hid behind the battle shed and shot against the Youzhou Army.

The crossbow chariots of Youzhou Army under the city, and the stone-throwing chariots kept throwing huge stones and stones onto the city wall, and the Tang army also used stone-throwing chariots to deal with it.

The earth and the city walls are soaked in blood.

"General Yuchi, if he followed this speed, he would probably not be able to break the city immediately."

Yan Yelie talked to Yuchi Gong. In this siege battle, his nearly ten thousand cavalry could not send troops, so he could only wait in the air, so he seemed a little relaxed.

Yuchi Gong glanced at Yan Yelie, his dark face darkened, and he snorted softly, but stopped talking.

Yan Yelie saw Yuchi Gong's expression and continued to speak in a verbal stimulating manner: "There are less than 5,000 defenders in the city, but our army gathers at the city but there are 50,000 troops. If ten times of the troops still cannot capture this Jinyang City, wouldn't it be a loss of our Youzhou Army?"

Yuchi Gong glanced at Yan Yeli and said, "Don't use words to provoke me. Today, let me know and see. Our Youzhou army has built secret weapons under the city for a month."

"Li Shuzuo! Zhou Shuzuo!"

"No!" Two people next to Yuchi Gong were out of the list. These two were the two craftsmen who were promoted from the craftsmanship workshop in Youzhou not long ago to the military commander-in-chief.

Yuchi Gong asked, "Zhou Shuzuo, are your eight-pointed cannon ready?"

"It's ready. There are three gates in total, so please use the general to attack the city!"

Yuchi Gong nodded and said immediately: "Please carry it out."

Zhou Shuzuo heard that his eight-pointed zombie finally had a brave place, and was very happy. After the last time his Zhuge crossbow was rejected by Li Chongjiu, he worked hard to develop another siege weapon.

Yan Yeli was standing aside and saw that Yuchi Gong was like this, and he couldn't help but feel expectant, seeing what kind of weapon he prepared could break the Jinyang Jiancheng.

Then the rain cloth behind was taken off, revealing three huge objects.

This thing looks like the orange steak used by farmers to draw water at that time. A wooden pole is high and low, but in Yan Yeli's eyes, he said in surprise: "Isn't this your stone thrower? But it seems not as big as these three."

Zhou Shuzuo, speaking to Yan Lie, mocked his achievements. He couldn't help but go up to the foreword and said, "The eight-shot cannon is not big enough, otherwise it wouldn't be enough. We will build it in a month."

Yan Yelie showed a sarcastic look. He had seen the Han army's stone throwing machine. Indeed, this kind of siege weapon could throw a big stone out of a hundred steps away and smash it straight on the top of the city. But he still didn't believe it by relying on this object to break through the tall and thick Jinyang City.

Seeing Yan Yeli's expression, Zhou Shuzuo also had the intention of fighting for a sigh of relief, thinking that he would let you see how powerful my eight-pointed cannon is.

The three eight-shot cannons were slowly pushed forward. At this time, Li Chongjiu's banner also moved from the north of the city to the west of the city. Yan Yeli, and Zhou Shuzuo saw that Li Chongjiu was also here to watch the battle, obviously he wanted to see the power of these eight-shot cannons.

Zhou Zuojiang and Li Zuojiang looked at each other. They obviously wanted to extend their hands at Li Chong's nine major exhibitions, showing the achievements of their Zhuojun Dajiangfang over the past few months. In order to repay his huge investment in Zhuojun Jianfang, he has promoted the two.

Next time, Zhou Zuojiang shouted loudly: "Stop!"

The three eight-pin cannons stopped at a distance of two hundred steps from the city.

Yan Yelie asked on the side, "Why is your stone thrower called Batou Cannon?"

Zhou Shuzuo immediately looked like you didn't understand. He said, "It's very simple. This tip is a wooden pole. Look at the other stone throwers in our army, there are only one and two wooden poles as long poles, which are called single-shot cannons or double-shot runs. And my eight-shot cannons have eight wooden poles together."

While speaking, several big men held a half-man-high huge rock and threw it into the nest of the Eight-Tip Cannon.

Yan Yelie said in surprise: "This stone is almost as heavy as a horse."

Zhou Shuzuo showed a proud look and explained to Yan Yelie as if he was showing off: "Not a horse, to be precise, it is a huge rock of 150 kilograms. The single-shot cannons like our stone thrower only put 12 kilograms of stone bullets, which can reach a hundred steps, but these eight-shot cannons can hold 150 kilograms."

Yan Yelie finally looked at the eight-tip cannon with a serious look. Before the cannon tip, there were as many as a hundred hanging ropes, and each rope was pulled by one or two people.

With Zhou Shuzuo's order, the eight-shot cannons aimed at a city tower in the west of the city, and more than 270 Youzhou soldiers pulled the cannon ropes.

"one!"

With the order, all the soldiers tightened the cannon rope and made a gesture to pull it out!

All the generals, soldiers, and Li Chongjiu, who was watching the battle on the mountain, focused their attention here.

The Battalion showed its power for the first time, and Zhou Shuzuo showed a somewhat complacent smile on his face.

"Two, let it go!"

After a loud shout, everyone exerted force, but only heard a click!

Zhou Shuzuo's face suddenly changed. He saw that because he could not bear this force, the tip of the eight-stop cannon suddenly broke, and the 150-pound stone bullet had already shot out of the stone nest for more than ten feet, half of which fell to the ground, smashing a shrimp cart from the front army to pieces.

More than a dozen people were corpses in the shrimp-touching cart.

"fool!"

The commander of the front immediately stepped forward and shouted, and the attacking front army was also stunned.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Shuzuo's face turned pale and he immediately sat down.

"I want to kill you." The commander of the former army general rode his horse back from the front line. He was extremely angry when he saw his soldiers die at his own hands.

Zhou Shuzuo, who was originally proud, hurriedly said, "General, please spare me, I deserve to die, but it doesn't mean that these eight-shot cannons cannot be used. This stone bullet is too heavy. I will exchange it for 120 kilograms and will definitely succeed."

"Damn it, do you have to risk my brothers' lives?"

"If this time doesn't work, I'm willing to pay the blame." Zhou Shuzuo immediately knelt down and kowtowed. He knew that all his future prospects would be placed on these eight-shot cannons. If the eight-shot cannons fail, he would have no face to take responsibility for the position of military officials. If the future is so dark, it would be better to die.

"I am willing to be a guarantee, please give me a chance." The old Li Zuojiang also knelt down.

"I'll give you another chance, and if you don't work, you'll die!" Yuchi Gong showed a black face in front of Zhou Shuzuo.

"Thank you, General, thank you." Zhou Shuzuo and Li Shuzuo both thanked each other for their kindness.

At this time, Zhou Shuzuo and Li Shuzuo survived and went back to order and replaced the 150-pound stone bullets that were originally placed on the other two eight-point cannon stone nests. This time, they replaced the slightly smaller 120-pound stone bullets.

Knowing that his life is here, Zhou Shuzuo also showed some ruthlessness. Being able to become an official from a craftsman was something he had never thought about in his life. Now his future is here. If it fails, he will blame him for his bad luck and he will die here.

The soldiers of the craftsman's workshop also felt the murderous aura on Zhou Shuzuo's face and immediately did not dare to neglect.

"The stone bullet is ready."

"Prepare!"

"one."

"Two, let it go!"

With the efforts of everyone, the cannon rope was pulled hard, and the 120-pound huge rock flew 200 steps away, drawing an arc in the air. Everyone raised their heads together, looked at the stone bullet and smashed straight onto the Ximen Tower.

With a bang, the beam broke and half of the city tower collapsed!

"good!"

Yan Yeli was shouting when everyone saw it.

"Second shot, prepare!" Zhou Shuzuo's face narrowed. He was not affected by the successful second shot, and his mentality relaxed and continued to yell.

"one!"

"Two, let it go!"

In a moment, a huge stone bullet cut through the sky.

With a loud bang, sand and gravel flew across the city tower.

"It's done!" Zhou Shuzuo was in a crazy state and danced with his hands and feet.

And with his shout, the cheers of the Youzhou army broke out like a tsunami on the entire battlefield.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

The three armies shouted together.

I saw that the three-level high Xicheng City Tower split and collapsed after hitting two stone bombs.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Hundreds of giant drums were beating, and thousands of flags gathered toward the city. Twenty thousand Youzhou foreign cavalry, under the rhythm of the war drums, pressed under the walls of Jinyang City.

In the blink of an eye, the flags swayed, and the sky darkened, the crossbow chariot threw stones, and three thousand crossbowmen fired thousands of arrows, which immediately covered the sky and the sun.

As the arrow rain fell, a large number of enemy troops fell on the top of Jinyang City.

"What city tower has been knocked down!"

Upon receiving the news from the guards, King Li Yuanji of Qi suddenly felt weak and he was on the ground.

The guards looked at Li Yuanji's face from both sides and said bravely: "Your Highness, under the army of Li Chongji, Yin Kaishan fled without fighting. Jinyang City will definitely be out of order. Instead of this, Your Highness, Your Highness, would rather stay with the green mountains and go back to Xijing, and then fight the lawsuit to the emperor."

Seeing that Li Yuanji did not speak, everyone looked happy. It was obvious that His Highness of the King of Qi did not object to escape at the last battle.

Another said, "Yes, Jinyang's mistake was not the crime of King Qi, but the despicable villain Yin Kaishan. The emperor will not blame His Highness King Qi."

Li Yuanji heard the words and said, "Now the enemy is full of heavy troops, can we get rid of it?"

Another said: "How can we not walk? The enemy only has infantry and cavalry, but no navy. We can walk along the Fen River and take a boat south. By then, Li Chongjiu will definitely not be able to intercept it."

Li Yuanji heard the words and said, "Just listen to you, and immediately inform Liu Shaoqing and Li Hujun, and let them go with us."

After hearing this, his subordinates said, "But once the King of Qi leaves, the morale of the army in the city will be in chaos. If there is no general left behind, it will definitely be taken by the enemy."

Li Yuanji said, "I am confused. Yin Kaishan escaped at the fortitude. I also need Liu Shaoqing, Li Hujun and others to testify for me, otherwise my father would not believe me."
