Cultivation of Immortals Begins with Drilling Wood To Make Fire

  Chapter 459 [Excellent and meticulous workmanship]

   Regarding the next action, Lu Ze's thinking is quite clear.

  He organized the language and said to the lord, prime minister, marshal, and benefactor in front of him:

"The guard in charge of the city's defense is named Geng Yongxin. After his meritorious service, his ancestors had a prominent title. In his generation, only the title of third-class male is left. But even so, the few of them eat and wait to die Brothers, in order to fight for the title of Lumi every year, they still argue with each other endlessly and do everything they can."

"According to the investigation, this Geng Yongxin hated this scene very much, so he left home and went to take the martial arts exam and go to high school by himself. Then he got several combat and defense tasks, and even made several meritorious deeds. Not too big and not too small a title. This eased the relationship with the brothers - no one thought he would come to grab food."

"As time passed, Geng Yongxin was gradually promoted based on his ability, and he became a pivotal figure in the city defense with the help of his noble background and clean family background. Now that our army is besieging the city, all the other generals are afraid of fighting and claiming to be sick. Xia Geng Yongxin was alone, so he became the person who took care of the overall situation."

   "That is the goal of our operation."

   This introduction is very clear. Liu Dan, Liu Yuande and Yu Qingling, although they already know the information about the defender on the opposite side, they all nodded at this time to express their encouragement.

   Lu Ze was very encouraged, and he then introduced to Fang Chang:

"The next task we have is simple to say, as long as we find a way to sneak into the city and meet this guard named Geng Yongxin without disturbing any other forces, it will be considered a success. This process must be With some methods such as spells, benefactor Shangxian has a high level of cultivation, so it's no problem."

"After seeing him, just leave it to me. This side has practiced dozens of times, and combined with the information collected during this period, I imagined any kind of reaction that the other party might have, and focused on each reaction. The targeted language has been formulated, and this time it will be successful."

   Liu Dan looked at the time and said to several people:

   "Okay, the outside positions should be almost set up. Let's go out and see if the new guns are suitable. Afterwards, Lu Xianfeng, you and Mr. Fang can go together. You can refer to the information on how to get in, but you must act cheaply according to the specific situation."

  ...

  Outside the camp, two miles away from the city wall, the rebels chose a place to form an army and stationed there.

The two small cities near here, which can support each other with the city, have been besieged by the rebels, unable to contribute. They can only watch helplessly as the soldiers of the rebels begin to set up horses and dig pits and build towers across the moat. I don’t know. I'm messing around with something.

  Besides, many of the defenders on the city couldn't understand the content of the labor of the rebel soldiers.

   But everyone has a unified consensus.

  The things that the rebels are fixing are definitely not harmless things for humans and animals, and they will definitely pose a big threat to the imperial city.

  However, the imperial city has very few means to attack this position.

  The performance of the artillery in the city is very poor, and the bow and crossbow can’t shoot so far. The trebuchet has been outdated and has not been erected. Only the bed crossbow can shoot here. But with the thick soil barrier, and the distance limit of the crossbow on the wall is close to here, so after trying to launch it a few times, I found that the effect was not good, so I stopped.

   After all, the bed crossbow is fine. The price of the arrows used in the bed crossbow is very high, and it cannot be used for suppression. They can only be consumed on the frontal battlefield.

   Soon, the soldiers in the city and the two small cities outside knew what the position was used for.

  Four huge cannons were dragged out of the rebel barracks.

And there are not a few troops in charge of defending these four cannons, which makes the enemy troops inside and outside the city helpless. They can only watch helplessly as the opponent adjusts the slope, and then unloads the cannons from the cannon carts and puts them on the earth platform. , Then insert the vertical ruler into the gun muzzle, measure the elevation angle, and according to the obtained data, use a hammer to smash the thin wood into the gun tail.

   Seeing this scene, the city had to send a force to attack.

  This troop can be considered elite. After all, when the army is besieging the city, those who have the courage to face several times the enemy rushing out are no longer ordinary characters.

  It's a pity that all failed.

   Fang Chang saw with his own eyes that Yu Qingling led his two thousand personal guards, strangling them quickly from the side of the battlefield.

   Then the enemy attacking team in front of them quickly disintegrated.

Some of them slipped out of the battlefield—these were the smartest, because the cavalry of the rebel army had no time to control and arrest them—so they were lucky to stay away from the battlefield; Go to the corner and pretend to be dead; the last part ran back, but the people inside were worried that the rebel cavalry would follow in, and they refused to open the door to respond, but just used the extremely inefficient hanging basket to pull up...

   In this chaos, the rebels fired.

  The four heavy artillery roared one after another, instantly grabbing the attention of all the spectators on the battlefield.

  Everyone looked at the place where the flash happened, and then heard a rumbling sound. At the same time, they could see a black cannonball flying slowly and fast towards the mountain.

   Then they slammed into the walls of the imperial capital.

  The city wall seemed to be picked up in place, and dust was visible to the naked eye, and many bricks and stones collapsed. The defenders above ran back and forth, and were arrested several times. Some of them were decapitated on the spot by the little bosses on the city wall. Only then did they suppress the chaos again and stabilize the situation.

   "Good!" Not far away, Liu Dan praised loudly, he was very satisfied with the effect of these heavy artillery.

   But Fang Chang's attention is not here, he has been looking at the artillery position.

  The heavy artillery that has just been fired requires a lot of cumbersome operations to complete the preparations for firing again, so the soldiers are working hard. They carried a large wooden brush as long as two people, rolled a piece of cloth and dipped it in water to scrub the barrel of the gun to prevent sparks from remaining in it.

  The rebel soldiers who were responsible for the ammunition were running back and forth in the trench to transport the ammunition. The ammunition was wrapped in oiled paper according to the share of each gun, and it was piled in a deep pit not far behind. This pit can effectively avoid attacks from the opponent, and it can also prevent one of the artillery from implicating several other artillery units.

   What attracted Fang Chang's attention the most was the thick smoke when the artillery was fired just now.

  The wind direction is right today, so the gunpowder smoke drifts slowly towards the imperial city according to the direction of the wind.

   So Fang Chang gently pulled Lu Ze next to him, pointed to the smoke and said:

"good chance."

"ah?"

   Lu Ze was a little at a loss, he didn't understand Fang Chang's meaning.

   "A chance to enter the city." Fang Chang shook his head, patted Lu Ze lightly, and then lightly tugged, holding Lu Ming, and dodged into the smoke of gunpowder.

   When both feet stepped on the ground again, they were already in the imperial capital.
