Chapter 189 Cannon
boom--
With the sound of a cannon, Su Chengnan's body swayed along with the city wall, and she almost lost her balance.
Bingsan shouted anxiously, "Miss, be careful!"
Su Chengnan held onto the wall to steady himself, then immediately supported Sun Liangyuan, "Mr. Sun, are you okay?"
"I'm fine," Sun Liangyuan waved his hand, his eyes fixed on the dark antique cannon in front of him. "Come on! Aim at that thing and shoot!"
"Okay, here we come."
The people around responded immediately and morale was high.
The soldiers of the Beiling Army remained fearless in the face of danger and were not intimidated at all in the face of enemy artillery fire. Not only did the team not collapse, but they continued to fight tenaciously.
Whoosh, whoosh whoosh——
Dozens of large crossbows attacked at almost the same time. Coupled with the newly modified firecracker acceleration device, the wooden arrows were like a group of supersonic birds, rushing towards the enemy at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye.
"Ah, damn it."
"Quick! Kill those damn people!"
Su Chengnan looked intently at the situation opposite him, and could barely make out their words through their lip movements and excellent hearing.
The White Bear Country's cavalry was in chaos, some were busy dodging arrows, and some were still giving blind orders.
Their arrows successfully hindered the enemy's reloading of ammunition and luckily hit several people around the cannon. But unfortunately, the wooden arrows did not cause fatal damage to the cannon itself.
Someone jumped onto the artillery vehicle, threw those who had just died off the vehicle, and took their place to continue reloading ammunition.
They were obviously determined to use cannons to blow Su Chengnan and the others' bows and crossbows into ashes!
One shell after another was fired at the city wall!
Every shot made everyone terrified!
Su Chengnan and Sun Liangyuan were covered in dust and coughed repeatedly because of the dust that kept falling from the city wall. But they did not retreat, and they became more and more courageous!
The Beiling Army below was even more so! Li Shanqi led Chen Hao and others, charging in and out on horseback, constantly engaging the enemy. They repeatedly stopped the enemy outside the second line of defense.
However, as time passed, the situation became more and more critical, and the number of casualties upstairs and downstairs continued to increase.
"Everyone, please help relieve the pressure on General Li first!"
"There's about a hundred seconds between each cannon shot. I'll help you count. Just follow my instructions!"
"What's one hundred seconds?" Sun Liangyuan raised his head from the crossbow, glanced at her hurriedly, and continued shooting before waiting for her answer.
Su Chengnan picked up another wooden arrow and knocked it hard against the wall, shouting:
"one two Three……"
She didn't remind everyone until she counted to eighty-five.
"Hurry, be careful! Time is almost up."
"Everyone, be careful!"
This time, with Su Chengnan's advance reminder, everyone was obviously more prepared when facing the attack.
The enemy's cannons looked powerful, but in reality, they were inaccurate! After firing for so long, only half of them actually hit the city wall, and many of them missed.
"Damn it! One day we'll bomb them to death with cannons!" The soldier on the far left slammed the wall and cursed.
But just as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang and the whole person was blown to pieces by the cannon.
Everyone was stunned.
To be precise, I was scared to death!
The comrade who was still talking the previous second turned into a bloody mess the next second. Su Chengnan felt a lump in his nose and felt extremely painful.
But she knew that now was not the time to be sentimental!
"Kill! We must avenge him!"
"Revenge! Revenge!"
Everyone's eyes were red, and they turned their grief and anger into strength!
Lu Chaofeng was watching the situation from the front lines with great anxiety. He knew that this was not a solution. He gritted his teeth, kicked his horse's flank, and rushed towards the enemy.
To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. If you can't kill the enemy general, you must first destroy that damn cannon!
"Oh no! The prince is charging into the battle alone!" Bing San shouted, pointing down.
Su Chengnan looked in the direction of his hand, her heart tightened, and her palms began to sweat.
Tap, tap, tap, footsteps were heard behind me.
Who would go up the city wall at this time?
Su Chengnan grabbed Bingsan's arm, and with his other hand, he produced an electric baton from space and hid it in his sleeve.
"Who?!"
Bingsan rushed to the corner in one step and put his sword against the man's neck. He only needed a little force to take the man's life.
But just when he thought he had it all figured out, the other party raised his hand, and before he could even see the movement, the sword was knocked out of his hand.
"Miss, it's us!" Ah Shun said anxiously.
"Brother Chen?" Su Chengnan and Bingsan were both surprised. They didn't expect that it was A Shun who brought Chen Gang here.
After the soldier behind A Shun carried the wheelchair up, A Shun put Chen Gang down from his back, and there was a bow and arrow on Chen Gang's back.
As soon as he saw this posture, Su Chengnan understood that he wanted to assassinate the enemy general and disrupt the enemy's formation.
Chen Gang: "Let me see if I can take out the enemy general first."
"Great!" Sun Liangyuan interrupted, quickly giving up his seat. "You have good aim. Why don't you try this? It's very powerful!"
"No, I'll use mine. It's convenient."
The large crossbow is very tall, and it is not very convenient for Chen Gang to use it while sitting in a wheelchair. It is indeed not as flexible as using his own bow and arrow.
"It's all right. Anything is fine. As long as we can defeat the opponent, that's the best thing."
Su Chengnan came up with a quick idea and said to Sun Liangyuan, "We will use the crossbow to cover him and disrupt his line of sight."
When Ashun and Chen Gang heard this, their eyes lit up. This method works!
"Everyone get ready!"
"Three, two, one, shoot!"
Su Chengnan's voice echoed on the city wall. Her command was like a war drum, inspiring the morale of the archers. They gripped their bows tightly, aimed, and fired, their movements smooth and seamless.
The arrows were like dense raindrops, piercing through the light goose feather snow, pouring down mercilessly on the enemy's position, disrupting the enemy's formation, and dyeing the ground red with blood.
Chen Gang was looking for the best shooting position in the chaos. His eyes passed through the trajectory of the arrow, looking for his target.
After a while, he locked onto the man who was commanding the troops among the enemy!
He took a deep breath and calmly released the taut bowstring.
"Whoosh-"
Su Chengnan saw with his own eyes that the arrow was like a black lightning, passing through the hustle and bustle of the battlefield, but it brushed past the general's shoulder and shot into the mud beside him.
"Oh, what a pity! It was just a little bit short." She said unconsciously, but she regretted it as soon as she said it and quickly changed her words.
"It's okay. The first arrow was so accurate. Maybe the next one will kill the opponent!"
Chen Gang had no expression, as if Su Chengnan's words had no effect on him.
He continued to raise the bow in his hand, aim, and with almost no hesitation, his fingers loosened again, and the arrow cut through the air and flew straight towards the target.
