Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 275 The Astounding Power of Gunpowder

An hour later, the city's garrison from the Bearman Kingdom had just finished breakfast.

Everyone strolled along the city wall as usual, looking rather lazy.

It was nominally a patrol, but the soldiers wouldn't even glance at the outside.

In their eyes, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty had probably already been captured by the leader of the Tongtian Divine Sect.

With the assistance of their own country's two warriors, Xiong Da and Xiong Er, capturing the emperor of Daxia would be a piece of cake.

Therefore, in their hearts, this northern city is now part of their own country's territory.

While everyone was listlessly going through the motions.

Suddenly, a soldier pointed in the direction outside the city and was speechless for a moment.

"Brother... Brother, brother, look what's that in the snow outside?"

The young soldier grabbed the hand of the veteran beside him, pointed outside with a look of terror, and asked.

The veteran looked in the direction the soldier was pointing, and his testicles jumped up and down in fright.

He quickly ran to the back and rushed to Gou Qiang, who was doing his routine morning training: "Report... General, enemy attack!"

Gou Qiang frowned upon hearing this: "What did you say? Enemy attack? Where!"

The veteran pointed in the direction outside, and Gou Qiang immediately understood.

I ran towards the city wall, climbed it, and looked out at the dark mass of people.

Gou Qiang immediately shouted to his followers, "Everyone, climb the city wall, light the smoke signals, and prepare to meet the enemy!"

At Gou Qiang's command, all the soldiers on the city wall got to work.

The beacon tower immediately lit up with smoke signals, and the soldiers inside the main hall, seeing the smoke, quickly donned their leather armor, picked up their weapons, and marched in an orderly fashion toward the city wall.

The sound of running woke Chu Chen from his sleep. He looked up and saw that all the soldiers were running towards the city wall.

He picked up the binoculars and saw a large group of Xia soldiers charging towards the city wall on the snow outside the city.

Seeing this, Chu Chen smiled and deftly set up the grenade launcher, aiming it at the city gate.

"Archers, prepare...fire!"

As Zhou Heng led his men into the range of the Bear People's arrows, a barrage of arrows was unleashed from the city walls, heading straight for him.

Zhou Heng sat in the SUV, coldly watching all of this.

Fang Shuzhen shouted loudly at the soldiers, "Shields, raise!"

The moment the shields were raised, a dense swarm of arrows hurtled towards the crowd.

Gou Qiang watched as the dark mass of arrows hurtled towards the army outside, a disdainful smile appearing on his lips.

He thought to himself that with such a small force, they thought they could attack the city? He could easily defeat them with three volleys of arrows.

It should be noted that the soldiers of the Bear People Kingdom possessed astonishing strength, and the bows they used were many times more powerful than those of the Great Xia Kingdom.

But after a volley of arrows fell, Gou Qiang was instantly dumbfounded.

"They blocked it? They actually blocked it! What kind of shield do they have?"

Gou Qiang shouted at his deputy beside him.

"General, it's too far away, we can't see clearly!"

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers of the Great Xia stood up and charged towards this side again.

"Quickly...fire the arrows!"

Gou Qiang was somewhat incredulous at this moment, so he quickly ordered his men to continue firing arrows to kill the enemy.

After three volleys of arrows, the attacking force remained unchanged, seemingly having suffered very few casualties.

Gou Qiang waved his hand to stop the archers: "Don't panic, are they attacking the city? They haven't even brought any siege engines. Do they think they can build a staircase with just a few people and corpses?"

In fact, Fang Shuzhen and his group brought a ladder to the city gate, but Chu Chen said that it could be blown open, and it would be inconvenient to carry it in the snow.

Ultimately, Zhou Heng ordered the siege vehicle to be abandoned at the camp.

This trip is merely a test. If Chu Chen really manages to breach the city gate, then we'll charge in in one go. If he doesn't breach it, then we can retreat and use the city ladder later.

As long as the two armies do not clash, Zhou Heng is confident that he can retreat unscathed with minimal losses.

Shortly after, Chu Chen put down the binoculars in his hand.

Estimating the approximate distance, the Great Xia siege army was currently only about 500 meters away from the city gate.

"It's my turn to make a move."

Chu Chen smiled slightly, and with a thud, a grenade flew straight toward the city gate.

Several soldiers guarding the city were chatting leisurely at the city gate when they suddenly saw a dark shape coming towards them.

"Hey, big brother, what's this?"

Before they could even exchange a word, they heard a deafening roar.

The wooden city gate was instantly blasted open, along with the soldiers who were chatting at the gate.

Immediately afterwards, a series of thumping sounds rang out.

The wooden city gate was instantly blown to smithereens.

"General, something terrible has happened! The city gate... the city gate has been smashed by lightning!"

Gou Qiang was watching the Xia soldiers who were charging forward recklessly.

Suddenly, he heard his deputy behind him urgently reporting to him.

"What did you say? The city gate was... blown open by lightning? Where did this lightning come from?"

Immediately afterwards, Chu Chen adjusted the direction of the grenade launcher, aiming it at the explosives made of gunpowder that he had buried at the base of the city wall yesterday.

Chu Chen had used this grenade launcher many times, and such a huge target was a piece of cake for him.

With a muffled thud, a grenade flew straight toward the gunpowder.

Just as Gou Qiang was rushing towards the city gate.

Suddenly, a deafening sound rang out, as if the entire earth trembled.

Then, Gou Qiang stared wide-eyed as the thick city wall was suddenly blown apart.

In an instant, clods of earth and stones flew everywhere.

After the explosion, a large gap appeared in the thick city wall instantly.

Fang Shuzhen shouted loudly to the soldiers behind him, "Warriors of Great Xia! The city gates are open, the walls are destroyed! Charge! Enter the northern frontier and kill the bear-men..."

"The Divine Machine Army will lead the way, followed by the infantry. Charge with me!"

After Fang Shuzhen finished speaking, he spurred his horse, raised the crossbow with one hand, and headed towards the city wall.

Immediately afterwards, nearly 10,000 soldiers, armed with crossbows, charged toward the breach in the city wall.

Chen Qingxuan stepped on the gas, and with Zhou Heng in tow, they charged ahead towards the bear-men who had come out to meet them.

At that moment, Gou Qiang saw a red box rushing towards them and quickly organized his cavalry to meet it.

"Take down that red tent and capture their general alive."

But these people had never seen this off-road vehicle before, and they foolishly rushed up to it.

Meanwhile, Chu Chen in the main hall was not idle for a moment.

The grenade launcher fired two boxes of grenades at the Bearman soldiers on the city wall.

At this moment, Chu Chen dropped the grenade launcher and set up the Type 95 machine gun.
