Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

But what they didn't expect was that when things came to a close, these people suddenly changed their minds and wanted to take the opportunity to increase the stakes so that Chu Xin would agree to their various requests.

Otherwise, not only will they not help her attack Chu Mo, they may even join forces to help Chu Mo attack the city together.

Chu Xin didn't want to have her planned plan ruined by such a group of unscrupulous people.

So, while she sent people to pretend to agree to those people's requests, she also asked Ying to create a suspicious formation so that Chu Mo could not figure out the situation in the city for the time being and did not dare to attack the city at will.

Sure enough, after several waves of scouts disappeared silently, Li Junxian ordered the pots to be buried and cooked, waiting for dawn and the arrival of the siege equipment from behind.

After this delay, Chu Xin had already negotiated terms with those people again, and all city defense matters had been completely redeployed, waiting for Chu Mo's people to come and die.

At this time, it was bright and the sun was rising.

The siege equipment that Li Junxian was waiting for was all in place, and now he was just waiting for the order to start the offensive.

In order to prevent the enemy from jumping over the wall and dying together with his own side, Li Junxian had people surround the three city walls in the east, west, north and west from the beginning. Only the south gate near the sea was not guarded by troops. Forced Chu Xin to the sea.

As long as the opponent leaves Panzhou City and reaches the sea, Li Junxian is sure to bury him under the sea with the navy he has recruited during this period.

Looking at the approaching siege team, countless people holding fire guns suddenly appeared on the originally empty city head. They were wearing light clothes and their movements were uniform. It was obvious that they were elite people who had been perfectly trained.

Li Junxian was not surprised at all when he saw the figure that suddenly appeared.

Our side has begun to attack. If the opponent is still cowering, it means that the opponent's will to defend the city is not very high and they will abandon the city and flee at any time.

But now, this is considered normal.

Without hesitation, Li Junxian immediately ordered the catapult to launch a wave of attacks first.

He had seen the power of the fire cannons in the hands of the soldiers on the opposite city wall.

Although the range of the fire gun is not as good as the crossbow, the power of the opponent is not comparable to the crossbow.

Ordinary crossbow arrows can only fire one at a time, but the fire stick can spray more than ten or twenty lead bullets at a time, and its power cannot be underestimated.

Because every time a fire gun is fired, it will be accompanied by a puff of smoke, so Li Junxian likes to call it a fire stick.

In a one-on-one situation, Li Junxian was confident that his archers could defeat the opponent's fire sticks.

But in an offensive and defensive battle like this, there is a city wall on the opposite side as a bunker. Sending soldiers to attack the city is simply a matter of death.

Therefore, when Chu Mo warned him to keep an eye on Chu Xin, he had already predicted today. Therefore, he had more than a dozen catapults built. Unexpectedly, they would actually come in handy today.

Following the order, the neatly arranged catapults roared one after another.

Huge boulders filled with flames fell from the sky and hit the walls of Panzhou City one after another.

Hearing the rumble outside and the trembling caused by the boulder falling to the ground and coming into contact with the city wall, Chu Xin looked horrified and rushed out of the command room in a few steps.

Looking at the boulders falling from the sky, she secretly said something bad.

He had calculated everything, but he didn't expect Chu Mo to be so shameless. He had explosives and muskets, and he could even use a catapult.

Without any pause, she shouted to the shadow guard beside her:

"Let the Shenji Battalion push up all the previously forged artillery, and we must defend Panzhou City."

Upon hearing the artillery fire, everyone around them looked at Chu Xin with shocked expressions.

Seeing them like this, Chu Xin didn't know what these people were thinking, so she frowned and said again:

"Each artillery fire should be no more than three times, and it will be withdrawn directly after three times."

Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the preparations to begin.

Chu Mo didn't know why Chu Xin was so scared. He saw so many catapults working together, and the soldiers from Panzhou City could only flee in all directions, with no chance to fight back. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows at Li Junxian. Thumbs up:

"Jun Xian is still very powerful. He beat them like grandsons. I don't think it will take a whole morning. This Panzhou City..."

Before he finished speaking, there was only a roar, and a cannonball directly hit a catapult, smashing it into powder. All the soldiers around him rolled into a ball in mourning.

Hearing this familiar voice, Chu Mo shouted:

"No, the other side has used artillery. Jun Xian, please tell someone to take cover."

As soon as he finished speaking, several more huge roars rang in his ears.

Chu Mo listened carefully and found that there were at least 10 artillery fire from the opposite side at the same time. He was suddenly shocked and angry.

I was shocked that Chu Xin's industry was so developed, and so many artillery pieces were produced without making a fuss.

What makes him angry is that seeing the other party acting like this, he has obviously made enough preparations, but he didn't get any information.

Thinking of this, a coldness appeared at the corner of Chu Mo's mouth. Was his previous method too gentle?As a result, some people are unable to work hard.

The sudden blow left Li Junxian and the soldiers he brought with him at a loss.

Although the opponent's attack did not cause much substantial damage, the huge momentum was more shocking than a catapult.

Just when he was thinking about whether to temporarily withdraw from the opponent's attack range, to rectify his military discipline and then think of a way to attack, a scout rushed over in a panic.

"Sir, we found a group of people of unknown origin behind us, numbering about 1 to [-] people. Please make your decision."

Hearing that there were people behind him, Li Junxian knew without thinking that these must be Chu Xin's reinforcements.

After thinking for a while, he shouted:

"After the generals of the rear army listened to the order, the rear army moved forward to prepare to defend against the enemy. The front army was commanded by Mr. Zhai and slowly withdrew from the enemy's attack range to prevent the enemy from leaving the city for a sneak attack. Anyone who encounters those who are timid or fearful of fighting should stand still. , Anyone who disobeys military orders will be killed on the spot."

After saying that, he directly mounted his horse and rushed towards the back.

Chu Mo also listened briefly.

But he didn't express any opinion, he just stood aside quietly, watching the retreating figures of Zhai Changsun and Li Junxian.

Sure enough, not long after Li Junxian left, the artillery fire on Panzhou City stopped firing, and the originally closed city gates were opened in time. Groups of soldiers holding firecrackers and marching in uniform steps lined up. gushed out.

Seeing the familiar military formation again, Chu Mo had a wry smile on his lips.

Compared to Chu Xin, the universal time traveler, am I really too useless?

Without giving Chu Mo much time to reminisce about the past, it only took a few minutes for the army in Panzhou City to set up their military formations and move quickly towards this side.
