"What kind of hidden weapon is this barbarian using?"
"They've already inexplicably taken down three people from their horses,"
"If you're a true hero, fight openly and honestly."
"Pooh!"
A soldier watched as one of his generals had just taken up his post.
Before even getting close to the enemy general,
He was inexplicably dismissed from his post.
He couldn't help but start cursing.
Not satisfied with just cursing,
He spat again down towards the city walls.
With that lowered head
Then they saw a small boat rapidly approaching the city wall on the river.
He hurriedly shouted, "There's a boat!"
Upon hearing this, the Western Xia people on the city wall
They all looked towards the river.
Sure enough, a small boat was already getting close to the city wall.
The catapults were no longer usable.
The barbarian general defending the city remembered gunpowder.
He cried out in a panic.
"Fire arrows."
The archers on the city wall drew their bows and nocked their arrows.
It shot at the small boat on the river.
Unfortunately, the rowers were hiding in the cabin.
They could only aim at the hull and fire.
"Tuk-tuk!"
A dull thud,
The arrows, however, were all stuck in the ship's hull.
Even the cabin windows couldn't let in the light.
It's obvious that the ship's planks were reinforced inside.
Just a moment,
The ship then anchored against the city wall.
The barbarian general on the city wall saw this.
He shouted in a panic.
"Throw stones at it, sink the ship."
While the people on the city wall were searching for stones,
Suddenly, a person emerged from the cabin.
He jumped into the water.
Several men watching the small boat hurriedly drew their bows and arrows and shot at the man.
Unfortunately, when the city was built,
The moat was dug very deep.
Dozens of arrows were shot down.
It immediately floated up.
No blood floated up.
It was clear that the shot missed the man.
Zhang Shun, the White Streak in the Waves, jumped into the water.
It quickly dived to the bottom of the water.
Swim forward with the current.
Having swum out more than ten zhang,
Then I felt a huge wave slam into my back.
Then came a loud bang.
Although Zhang Shun's ears were already plugged with something.
But we still heard a loud bang.
He was immediately knocked unconscious.
It floated to the surface of the water.
Drifting forward with the current.
The barbarians on the city wall had just thrown two stones.
Smash open the ship's hold.
Then I felt a wave of air rushing towards the city wall.
The city wall began to shake.
Then came a deafening roar.
There was a loud noise,
Flames shot out.
The entire city wall began to twist and shake.
A huge spray of water suddenly rose from the site of the explosion.
Zhao Yuan's eardrums were throbbing painfully even from more than a mile away.
The warhorse he rode was even worse.
He collapsed to the ground.
Xiao Heda's five thousand men were closer to the city wall.
This loud noise
Almost all the warhorses collapsed to the ground.
Those who were close to the city wall bled from all seven orifices.
.....
The city wall twisted a few times.
It collapsed with a crash.
Everyone on the battlefield was stunned.
Li Jun and his men feared attacks from the catapults on the city wall.
They were all hiding more than a mile away.
Each of them was experiencing severe eardrum pain.
Zhang Heng watched as the city wall collapsed with a deafening roar.
Gravel splashes,
He was extremely anxious.
He hastily ordered his naval forces to sail large ships toward the moat.
The floodgates between the Tanglai Canal and the moat have been opened.
The fleet then entered the moat without any hindrance.
Zhang Heng sailed his boat to find his brother Zhang Shun.
Zhao Yuan saw that the fleet had already started moving.
He shook his head vigorously and shouted.
"Li Kui slaughtered all those Western Xia people,"
"The rest of you attack the city."
Everyone's ears were ringing loudly at this moment.
They couldn't hear Zhao Yuan's orders at all.
Zhao Yuan heard no response from behind him.
Turning around, I saw everyone rubbing their ears.
He had no choice but to point at Xiao Heda and the others who were lying on the ground and make a chopping gesture to Li Kui.
Then he pointed to the collapsed city wall at Zhang Qing, Ou Peng, Ma Lin, and Tao Zongwang.
Everyone understood Zhao Yuan's gesture.
Li Kui immediately led his men straight to Xiao Heda and his group.
The rest of the people followed Zhao Yuan and ran towards the moat.
Li Jun and his group sailed downstream.
However, they were a bit faster than Zhao Yuan and his group who were running away unsteadily.
Arrived at the place where the city wall collapsed,
Only then did they realize that the city walls, under the impact of gunpowder,
But it tilted and fell inwards, crookedly.
The city wall, three zhang high and one zhang thick, collapsed.
It remains difficult for ordinary soldiers to climb.
Only the place where the gunpowder exploded created a gap more than ten feet wide.
Li Jun directed two large ships to anchor side-by-side across the gap.
Then connect them with wooden boards.
A simple floating bridge was formed.
During this time, no one was attacked in the slightest.
Those on the nearby city wall, even if they didn't die, were stunned into mentally impaired by the shockwave.
The Western Xia people on the distant city wall heard that earth-shattering sound.
Seeing the city wall collapse with a crash, as if it were made of paper.
They all wished they could escape to the ends of the earth.
Who would dare come to this devil's land to die?
The pontoon bridge was built.
Li Jun immediately led the naval forces on the ships into the city.
Protect the sides of the breach.
