Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 962: The earth collapsed, the rocks cracked, and my heart trembled.

Whoa!
The red and white thing splashed directly into Murong Xin's face. This sudden change made even this Xianbei Chanyu, who had experienced all kinds of battles, freeze on the spot for a moment.

"How...how..."

The loud noise was like thunder, and the sound was like an arrow. It seemed to pierce into his ears, making his ears ring. His mind was even more confused. He was dizzy, and his feet were shaking, and he didn't feel like he was standing on the ground. , but on the plywood.

With a stagger, Murong Xian almost fell down, but the martial arts foundation gained from childhood still came into play at this time, allowing him to maintain his balance at the critical moment.

But this Murong Chanyu stared blankly at the bloody corpse on the ground, opening his mouth to speak, but unable to speak.

After all, the brother who had just been chatting and laughing with him and showing off his talents was so shocked that he died in the blink of an eye. Moreover, Murong Xin had fought all his life and had never seen others die in front of his eyes, but this sudden explosion of death, It's really unheard of.

But before his thoughts calmed down, and before he even had time to understand what was happening in front of him, the panic in his heart emerged instinctively. The reason was that this seemingly solid wall bunker collapsed with the loud noise. , the stone fell down and hit Murong Xin's shoulder directly, causing severe pain!

Whoa!
Stones fell like rain, one after another, screams were heard all around, and the aura of panic filled and spread.

In order to be strong, the surrounding walls of this tower have been specially processed. They are much thicker than the city walls, and most of them are even made of stone. The main parts of many current city walls are not actually made of carved stone. Instead of being built up in blocks, clay, glutinous rice, and earth blocks were repeatedly tamped to form a city wall. Most of the time, if you were stronger, you could penetrate with a knife.

However, in the expansion of Murong Jicheng, many stone structures were added to support the tower on the wall. Although this tower is not very tall, it is only one and a half floors, but it uses a lot of stone. It is actually very heavy. Those walls that are not strong enough, have no solid foundation, and have shapes that are not wide at the bottom and narrow at the top cannot stand up at all.

As a result, the thick wall now became a deadly thing. It cracked after a loud noise, and the stones immediately scattered in all directions. The small ones were as big as fists, and the big ones were a few points bigger than a human head. Just like that. When it hits the body, the muscles and bones are injured immediately. When it hits the sharp point of the stone, the flesh and blood are directly cut, and the scarlet muscles and bones are seen.

Under this stone, regardless of high or low, Murong Yun fell, but the messengers who were around him earlier were affected because they were closest. Most of them were suppressed by the stone at the moment, and the rest It was not easy for him, he was hit and bruised all over his body.

However, at such a critical moment, several soldiers from the surrounding area rushed in, pelted him with rocks, and guarded Murong Xin to protect him.

These are complicated to say, but in fact they are nothing more than a flash of lightning. In such a short period of time, Murong Xuan's body has been hit with many wounds by stones. If the soldiers had not arrived in time, I am afraid that he would have been directly crushed by several stones. Living.

But even now, the situation is not optimistic. As soon as several soldiers arrived and protected Murong Xin as he walked outside, a stone as big as his chest fell directly and hit one of the soldiers on the head. It exploded like a watermelon, and then the stone rolled onto the leg of the person next to him. After a scream, the person fell to the ground. Although he struggled, he could not get up.

When other soldiers around him saw it, they were inevitably afraid, but they still suppressed their fear, walked and hid, held their breath, and finally took Murong Xin out of the originally safe "fortress".

"What exactly is going on?"

At this time, Murong Xuan took a deep breath and suppressed the fear and horror in his heart. When he asked, his body was covered with bruises. He looked back at the collapsed tower with complicated expressions on his face, but no one answered his question at all. The problem was that many soldiers on the city wall outside were also screaming, roaring, and wailing. Murong Xuan looked over and saw that a large section of the specially reinforced city wall had collapsed, and the broken mud blocks , many people can be seen among the stones.In addition, there are many people at the gaps in the city wall, but they are not trying to fight, but are escaping towards the city.

"Fleeing without fighting? These people..."

The ringing in Murong Xuan's ears had not dissipated, and his eyesight went black for a while, but his thoughts gradually calmed down, and he finally realized what had just happened.

"The sound just now was like thunder, could it be..."

Suddenly, his son Murong Ren's words flashed through his mind, recalling Murong Ren's face twisted with fear, and even remembered the bizarre remarks in his words, about the falling thunder and the demon soldiers of Daijun. .

"Is what Ren'er said true? Are there really demon soldiers?"

Just as this thought flashed through his mind, there was an explosion below, and then the earth shook. Murong Xuan clearly felt the ground under his feet shaking violently. Wherever he looked, he saw a section of the ground in front of him. The extremely strong city wall suddenly twisted, deformed, and then broke apart!
Different from the walls made of stones, these city walls made of rammed clay are simpler in structure. The reason why they can be supported up and down depends on the broad and thick foundation below. Some are similar to the gravity dams of later generations, but they are not evenly distributed. In the face of violent bombardment, after the structure broke in the middle, even if the wall below was still intact, the wall walkway above could not remain intact and immediately collapsed and disintegrated, causing people on the walkway to fall down, or bury or fall. fall.

With the collapse of the city wall, the soldiers and horses who were on standby in the city were also affected, and the battle formation became chaotic. Not only that, even the army soldiers and horses who were gathering outside the city were also shocked after seeing the scene of the city wall collapsing. Caught in chaos, some seemed to be coming to help, some seemed to be afraid and stayed where they were, and some simply started to retreat.

After all, these soldiers and horses are not trained, but belong to the leaders of various tribes. They have not been fully controlled by Murong's tribe. To a large extent, they can only be regarded as private soldiers. Let's not talk about their courage, but their direct tendencies. Influenced by the leading generals.

"Is it really a thunder? Is there such a truth?"

Murong Xuan looked at the scenes inside and outside the city. Thinking of his brother who died tragically, he couldn't calm down at all. His mind was trembling, but he forced himself to calm down. He followed the explosion and looked in the direction of the sound. Going over, the goal is a few strange shelves, with a few iron barrels on them, slanting at an angle, aiming at the city wall of their own house.

Boom!

Just as he looked over, there was a loud noise, and one of the iron barrels shook suddenly, and a shadow erupted from it, across the sky, and fell on the city wall, causing another collapse!
For a moment, Murong Xin was in a trance, and he seemed to be in hell for an instant, feeling that it was difficult to compete with the general trend.

But then, the scream of a soldier beside him brought him back to his senses. He suddenly realized the situation and immediately shouted: "Send the order, let the soldiers and horses outside the city attack Youzhou soldiers and horses immediately!"

After shouting these words, Murong Xin clenched his fists, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He wants to reverse this situation!
