Chapter five hundred and nineteen bombarding Zhuo County.

It is still the familiar Zhuo County.

The direction of the Qin army's attack was still familiar to Zhuo County.

And, the familiar guard of Zhuo County, Yu Jin.

Nowadays, the Qin Dynasty is the number one enemy of Cao Wei. As the first defensive general of Cao Wei, Yu Jin was naturally sent by Cao Cao to Zhuo County to defend the Qin army.

Originally, the Qin and Wei sides were in the honeymoon period, and there was no war between them, so Yu Jin was naturally happy and leisurely.

However, I never expected that Cao Cao would break the honeymoon period of both sides for no reason and detain the miners of Daqin.

Now, looking at the hundreds of thousands of Qin army outside Zhuo County, Yu Jin's head is getting bigger.

Yu Jin was extremely good at defense, but when facing the Qin army, Yu Jin couldn't help but feel frightened in his heart.

It seems that since the first battle between Qin and Wei, the Wei army has never beaten the Qin army, and has not even fought a small victory.

Moreover, now facing the Qin army, Yu Jin felt panic for no reason.

Yu Jin was struggling, someone outside sent an order that Qin envoy Chen Deng was about to leave the city. Yu Jin didn't know if the King of Wei had agreed with the Qin Dynasty, but he had to send Chen Deng out of the city no matter what.

When the two armies fought and did not kill the envoys, if Chen Deng was detained, the nature would have changed completely. Yu Jin ordered people to open the city gate and sent someone to escort Chen Deng to the Qin army.

Outside Zhuo County.

Qin army camp.

"Ship Chen, fight!" Chen Deng and Chen Qingzhi met with each other, and did not say much. Chen Deng nodded to Chen Qingzhi and said.

Chen Qingzhi understood what Chen Deng meant, and he had not agreed to the King of Wei.

When Chen Qingzhi sent troops, Li Chen had already issued an order. Once Chen Deng did not agree with Cao Cao, there was no need to report and ask for instructions in the future. Chen Qingzhi could launch a direct attack on Zhuo County, and he had to fight Cao Cao in one battle, and he was afraid of it.

The Qin army did not want to launch a full-scale war, and Li Chen did not want a world full of holes. Therefore, the purpose of this battle was not to destroy Cao Cao, but to fight until Cao Cao was willing to hand over the detained Qin army miners.

Qin army camp.

The Central Army’s tent.

"Before dark, I will set up camp in Zhuo County. All the generals are confident!" Chen Qingzhi sat firmly on the position of commander and asked the generals under his command.

"If you have confidence, you will have confidence!" Before anyone could speak, Cheng Yaojin asked, licking his face.

Now, Cheng Yaojin has a new official position and the artillery commander.

Cheng Yaojin likes rare things and is very curious about the artillery of the Qin Dynasty. In the past, artillery was only equipped with a navy. After the development of the Qin Dynasty and the improvement of artillery, the army is also equipped with artillery.

The thing I care about most is that Cheng Yaojin has the lucky buff and this guy is here, the accuracy of the artillery battalion's launch seems to be equipped with GPS navigation.

You know, the first time Cheng Yaojin fired a gun, he killed King Wu Sun Jian. Therefore, the fact that Cheng Yaojin was the leader of the artillery battalion was actually made him the mascot of the artillery battalion.

"Don't worry, Shuai Chen, I will definitely take Zhuo County before dark." Zhang Liao also nodded and responded.

This time when attacking Zhuo County, the head coaches of the Qin army were Chen Qingzhi, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Yuwen Chengdu, Zhao Yun and others as generals.

Just this lineup can be said to be a luxurious group. Even if you count the entire world, few people can compete with it.

"Cheng Yaojin obeyed the order!" At this time, Chen Qingzhi stood up and picked up an arrow from the commander's desk.

"I will obey the order!" Cheng Yaojin bowed his hand and said.

"I ordered your troops to bombard Zhuo County first and burst out a gap for me!" Chen Qingzhi ordered.

"The last general is in charge, Grandmaster, please take a look!" Cheng Yaojin felt a sense of excitement all over his body.

Finally, he was able to shoot a fool. Cheng Yaojin liked shooting a fool the most.

After Cheng Yaojin left, Chen Qingzhi continued to order: "The other generals are on standby and ready to attack the city at any time!"

"Get orders!" A group of Qin generals responded one after another.

Not long after, a "cry, creaking" sound began to come from the rear of the Qin army camp.

I saw that in the Qin army camp, a cannon was pulled by horses, and pushed by people from behind, moving slowly under the city wall.

The Qin army's artillery was first loaded on the ship, but it was actually not suitable for use on land. Because it was too heavy, the artillery was first loaded on the ship weighed about 2,000 pounds.

The smelting level in this era was not high. Even if the cannon was made with bronze with strong ductility, the cannon barrels must be cast extremely thickly to prevent the blasting.

The power of the Qin army artillery is unquestionable, but it also has a fatal disadvantage, that is, it is too heavy. The cannons installed on the ship are about 2,000 pounds per can.

Even after improvement, the cannons specially supplied for the army were weighing more than 800 kilograms. This huge weight destined that the cannons had extremely poor mobility.

The combat effectiveness of artillery is very poor, so when fighting in the field, the artillery is likely to be ordered by the enemy cavalry.

Fortunately, today is a siege battle, which can give the Qin army artillery a chance to perform perfectly.

With the horse-drawn pulling people, the Qin army had thirty cannons arranged neatly under the city of Zhuo County.

Thirty heavy artillery pieces were enough to smash the city wall of Zhuo County.

Looking at the thirty cannons in front of him, Cheng Yaojin was very proud. Now, only these thirty cannons are equipped with, all of them are under his jurisdiction. What an honor.

Having said that, Cheng Yaojin was the only one who could shoot artillery among the entire Qin army.

Moreover, the Qin King gave him Lao Cheng the right to fire in public.

"Boom, give me a hard blow."

"No need to aim, just smash the shells on the city wall." Cheng Yaojin ordered.

The reason why he used a killer weapon like cannon as soon as he started a war with Cao's army is that Li Chen wanted to try the power of this improved cannon, and he wanted to see how lethal this cannon was to the city wall.

In this era, the bulk of artillery was destined to be a weapon that could only play its greatest role in siege warfare.

Therefore, the lethality of artillery to the city walls determines whether the artillery will be placed in the army on a large scale.

With Cheng Yaojin's orders, the Qin army's artillery began to make a deafening roar.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

With loud noises shocked the world, countless laughing shells flew over the heads of Cao Wei soldiers and smashed hard towards the city wall in the sky.

This huge shell hit the city wall with impact force. The strong shock wave destroyed the wooden pavilions on the city wall. Broken wood, tiles, and bricks fell all over the ground.
