Volume 2: Journey to Jianghu Chapter 384: Linglong Cannon

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the well, Ximen Qing smiled as he saw that the exquisite artillery had been set up.  .

    The last time he returned to Liangshan, Ximen Qing found Ling Zhen and discussed with him for a day to let him experiment with casting small artillery, which would be easier for the army to carry.  After receiving the order, Ling Zhen began to experiment and began to think about how to reduce the size of the big cannon without affecting its power and increase the speed of reloading.

    After several days and nights of hard thinking, Ling Zhen finally gained something and worked overnight to cast the first batch of exquisite experimental products.

    Subsequently, after continuous experiments and improvements, the latest exquisite artillery was released.

    The original artillery was made of miscellaneous iron. Because the quality of the miscellaneous iron was not good, a large amount of miscellaneous iron was needed to cast the gun body to support the firing intensity and impact.  The Linglong artillery uses hundreds of smelted iron. The strength of 100-smelted iron is high. A small piece is worth a large pile of miscellaneous iron. Therefore, the size of the artillery is greatly reduced, and the power of the artillery is also increased.  Ling Zhen also made changes to the elixir, changing the original materials such as gunpowder and loose stones into ingredients such as flame, sulfur, and iron filings, which greatly increased its power.

    Today, Ximen Qing will test the power of Linglong Artillery and start the first battle in the era of thermal weapons.

    "I don't know if Ling Zhenzao made a musket. If he did, tsk tsk, it would be great to fight for world domination!" Ximen Qing thought to himself, and then ordered the soldiers around him to play drums and prepare to fire.

    clang clang clang

    The big drum was beaten, and the soldiers hurriedly loaded the ammunition and lit the fuse.

    With a loud noise, more than fifty artillery pieces spit out huge marbles and then withdrew towards the city wall.

    Looking at the densely packed artillery shells flying towards him, Yelvde shouted loudly: "This is artillery, take cover quickly!"

    But as soon as his voice fell, the cannons fell.  *Very

    Boom boom boom boom

    The cannonball hit the wall, dented directly and exploded into a circle of more than one meter. It landed on the city wall and exploded, causing rocks to fly immediately.  The flying stones hit the Liao soldiers, leaving holes in them.  Some of the cannonballs directly hit the human body, immediately exploding into a rain of blood and flesh fragments flying all over the sky.

    After one round of attacks, the Liao army was seriously injured and large holes appeared in the originally flat wall.

    The Liao army wailed, and the Liangshan army outside the city also took a breath of air.

    This artillery is so powerful!

    Guan Sheng was also stunned. He pulled Wu Yong beside him and said, "Pedant, this artillery is so powerful!"

    Wu Yong said: "Now you know why the commander trusts this artillery! But this artillery is only suitable for siege, and it is of no use against cavalry like you. After all, its shooting accuracy is only so much, and your cavalry is so fast  Like the wind!"

    Guan Sheng nodded and said, "That's right! But war is all about conquering cities and territories. With these guys, grandma, what city walls should we be afraid of in the future? Even the city of Tokyo can be conquered even if we want to!"

    Wu Yong said: "Yes! But after it is knocked down, the city wall will need to be rebuilt, hahaha"

    At this time, the second round of artillery strikes began again.

    But this time the Liao army was smart and ran down the city to find a place to hide.  Therefore, the second round of artillery attack did not kill many people, it just made the Liao army afraid to show their faces.

    Then there were three consecutive artillery attacks, which turned the majestic city walls of Jizhou City into a hornet's nest.

    At this time, the drum beat quickly.

    Guan Sheng, Wu Song, Lin Chong and others rushed forward and led the ladder team to rush over aggressively.  They broke through the moat first, then got on the ladder and began to climb the city. The wells also moved one after another, and the soldiers screamed one by one as they climbed towards the city wall.

    As soon as the shells stopped, the Liao soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.

    But at this time, Yelu De shouted loudly: "Hurry up to the city wall to defend, the enemy is attacking, hurry up, hurry up, don't hide if you move! The artillery will not attack!"

    Only then did the Liao troops react, and they immediately rushed towards the city wall with their weapons in hand.

    ¡°When there are many people and there is a rush, a tragic crowding occurs.  After finally climbing up the city wall, the Liangshan army had also climbed up.  The bows, arrows, kerosene, rolling stones, etc. prepared in advance were not used, and hand-to-hand combat began directly.

    The Liao army had just been frightened out of their wits. Now facing the brave and fierce Liangshan soldiers, they could not defeat them at all. They were either killed or seriously wounded lying on the ground wailing. For a time, the Liao army retreated steadily and retreated towards the city.

    Seeing that the defeat was certain, Yelu had a bitter look on his face.

    We still have to defend the city. In less than half an hour, the enemy has attacked and captured the city wall. The overall situation is decided!  Yelu Dezhong felt uncomfortable in his heart.It¡¯s over.

    Seeing the city gate open and the Liangshan army pouring in like wasps, Yelv Dezhong, Kangli Ding'an and He Shanlu looked at each other, and then led some of their soldiers to quickly retreat towards the north gate.

    Seeing Yelv De running away, Ximen Qing led Lin Chong and the Leopard Camp soldiers to pursue him.

    Seeing Yelv De¡¯s large army running towards Youzhou, Ximen Qing quickly took a path and led the Leopard Battalion to stop them at full speed.

    After chasing for more than fifty miles, Ximen Qing's army stopped Yelu Dezhong.

    "Yel¨¹ son, I let you escape last time, let me see how you escape this time!" Ximen Qing shouted sharply, then clapped his horse and went to kill him.

    Yelv Dezhong was forced to blush, and then he stood up to fight with his spear.

    The two quickly fought together.

    Ximen Qing held the Tianlong city-breaking halberd like a god descending to earth. With a swing and a shovel, Yelu was defeated and he was about to die under the halberd soon.  At this time, He Shanlu, holding a heavy ax, also came to fight Ximen Qing.

    As for Kangli Ding'an, he was fighting with Lin Chong.

    Faced with the siege of Yelv Dezhong and He Shanlu, Ximen Qing not only did not fall behind, but became more courageous as he fought, completely suppressing both sides.

    In the end, Ximen Qing cut off Yelu Dezhong¡¯s arm with a halberd, and penetrated He Shanlu¡¯s chest with a halberd.

    Kangli Ding'an was also defeated by Lin Chong and was stabbed through the shoulder and seriously injured.

    As for their personal guards, they were also killed to pieces by the Leopard Battalion soldiers, and they were miserable.

    Afterwards, Yelu Dezhong and Kangli Ding'an continued to escape with their guards on horseback, but were bitten by Ximen Qing for dozens of miles before Ximen Qing stopped the pursuit and returned to Jizhou City with his troops.

    When we returned to Jizhou City, the Liao army in the city had been put down. Those who surrendered were imprisoned, and those who resisted were shot to death.

    Afterwards, Ximen Qing ordered the army to clean up the battlefield and ordered the soldiers to repair the city wall.

    After struggling for most of the day, Jizhou City returned to stability, and Ximen Qing came to the Prince's Mansion to have a good rest.

    But it was said that Yelv Dezhong and Kangli Ding'an fled madly, and met the support army sent by Chu Jian halfway.

    After learning that Jizhou City had been lost, the supporting army had no choice but to lead Yelv Dezhong and Kangli Ding'an back to Youzhou.  When they arrived in Youzhou, the two of them did not dare to delay and hurriedly met with Master Lang.

    With such powerful artillery in the hands of the enemy to attack the city, Youzhou will be difficult to stop even behind the high walls of the city!  This situation is so important that we must report it to Master Lang as soon as possible and let him make the decision.
