Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    These are not chariots, but handcarts. The carts are piled with baggage. You don¡¯t have to think about it. You can tell at a glance that the Song army filled the river. If you don¡¯t fill the moat, you will not be able to attack the city gate and you will never be able to enter the city.  .

    Gao Qingyi squinted his eyes, with a strange light shining in his eyes, and immediately ordered them to shoot with the crossbow once these people entered the range of the crossbow.

    If the Song Army only bombed with revitalizing artillery, then the Jin Army really had nothing to do, because they had lost the ability to charge, and their long-range strike ability was not as far away as the opponent, so they could only shoot and rush over.  The Song soldiers, but as far as the Song army is concerned, although there are many artillery shells, they are not free. Now that the city gate is not visible, it is natural to save some money. It is impossible to bomb there all day long. No matter how many shells there are,  It will also be wiped out by you, so Zongze still focuses on filling the river.

    Their strong crossbows were actually backward versions of the bed crossbows. They were captured when they went south. They were not in large numbers and had been left unused because the Jin Army thought the weapons were too bulky and did not conform to their tactical thinking.  Their technology was not good enough to imitate them. Zeng Jin also built some in the Hebei area for the purpose of attacking cities, but the power was far inferior to the Song army's bed crossbow, so they gave up later.

    The technology of this bed crossbow has always been unique to the Song Dynasty, and no other country can produce it. If Wanyan Zongwang had conquered Bianliang City, then they would have mastered this technology, because the top secrets are all in Bianliang City. It is a pity that he  Unable to break through, the Jin Army was forced to do nothing. They searched for long-range strike weapons everywhere in the weapons depot, and put whatever they could use into use.

    He stood on the top of the city and had a clear view. The opponent was pushing a cart up, but the soldiers below were choked by the smoke and howled like ghosts. They could not see clearly where the Song army was, so they could only fire with their eyes closed.  They hoped to kill the enemy with a dense rain of arrows, but the Song army was well prepared and the vehicles dispersed.  Although some people still fell, Song Jun could fully bear this little damage.  but.  Although this bed crossbow is not as powerful as the Song Army's bed crossbow, it can still destroy some light wooden carts within two hundred steps. But it doesn't matter. Although the cart is gone, the Song Army soldiers directly carry the sacks.  Rush forward.

    "put!"

    Immediately afterwards, the second round of revitalization cannon was fired again, which was different from the one fired just now.  This round of launches was fierce and much faster, and all of them were focused on the opponent's catapult.

    Because the firing frequency of the revitalizing cannon is slow, it is generally fired in batches and cannot be fired at once. Otherwise, there will be a long blank period in between.

    The heavy shells flew and the Jin army dispersed immediately.

    But as soon as the Jin Army soldier moved, he heard a burst of screams.

    Gao Qingyi on the city wall was amazed when he heard such miserable screams.  The enemy's artillery shells haven't even fallen yet. Why are you yelling so much? Isn't it too exaggerated?  But take a closer look.  I saw that almost all the soldiers in the area where the first round of bombing had been carried out were sitting on the ground, holding their feet. The pain was worse than death.

    It turns out that the shells fired in the first round were not live ammunition, but the earliest grenades in the world, which were scattered shells. They were all filled with caltrops and iron flakes, while the crossbow just fired was all smoke arrows.  Why did Gao Qingyi just hear the screams? It was because those soldiers were hit in the face with iron pieces.  At this moment, he couldn't die, and he was still hurting to death.  This is the second thing, the key is those caltrops.

    This caltrop is an obstacle to prevent the enemy from charging. The four protruding iron thorns are more than three inches long. No matter how you place them, there is always one iron thorn pointing upward. The original method of use is to order people to sprinkle it.  On the enemy's path, but now that technology has become increasingly advanced, it can be directly thrown remotely. Once the shell explodes, the caltrops will scatter all over the ground.

    When the second round of artillery shells came, the Jin army was already dizzy and choked. When they saw the Song army's artillery shells coming again, their first reaction must be to dodge in all directions, but their eyes must be focused on  On the cannonball, you have to watch the cannonball and hide. For a moment, you don't pay attention to your feet. When you step on it, it will directly pierce the sole of the foot. There are so many acupuncture points on the foot. It is really painful. Moreover, Song Jun did not  I love being clean so much that most of the thorns will be rusty. If you step on them, you will be disabled or dead.

    This is really not just relying on blindness. There is still a strategy, link by link, to keep it unforgettable for a lifetime.

    "I didn't dare to run now, but if I didn't run, the shells were flying again. The war had just started, and some soldiers who had just joined the army were ready to surrender. Even standing here, they were beaten by the enemy, and even slapped them in the face.

    This round is a real bombing. Although there are not many shells, but combined with the iron caltrops, the power is several times greater.

    Fortunately, the Jin army was already on alert. The catapults and crossbows were all scattered, and they were still? Behind the fortress, therefore, not many catapults were destroyed, except for two or three unlucky ones that were directly hit and destroyed on the spot.

    But it doesn¡¯t matter, this round of bombing is mainly to cover the soldiers filling the river.

    This was a hard-won opportunity. The soldiers of the Song Army pushed the cart crazily and ran towards the river.

    Wanyan Changdu saw this, his face was as calm as water, and he looked calmly at the other side. Seeing that the Song army was about to enter the shooting range, he immediately ordered archers to go to the shore to shoot at the enemy. However, he seemed to have forgotten that the ground was full of caltrops, so  The archers of the Jin Army did not dare to stride forward, but they could not disobey the military order. They could only row with their feet close to the ground. How long did it take for you to row to the shore?

    Wan Yanchang was dumbfounded when he saw this scene, but there was nothing he could do. The soldiers were all scared.

    Hearing the sound of splashing, the soldiers of the Song Army lifted the chariot, and the baggage on the vehicle fell into the river, and there were quite a lot of it. These days, Zongze has been urging the soldiers to collect soil, because he knows the only way to cross the river.  Just fill in the river channel.

    Zhao Kai saw this scene from a distance and saw the Jin Army soldiers running around after being bombed. He couldn't help but feel overjoyed and thought to himself, these Tatars know how to act violently immediately. Once they leave their horses, they are as tired as eggs and vulnerable to a blow!

    When the frontline soldiers returned, the revitalization artillery ushered in a new burst period, so they repeated their old tricks, first firing scatter bombs and smoke arrows. At the same time, the second batch of river filling teams began to attack again.

    At the same time, Zongze ordered the small revitalizing cannon to advance. Although the small cannon was small in power, it could well make up for the firing interval of the cannon and help the army advance. You can't always bomb from long distances. The closer the distance, the revitalizing cannon  It can aim well and destroy the opponent's catapult very well. At such a long distance, it is still difficult to accurately hit the catapult behind the fortress.

    Because this small revitalizing cannon has a shorter range, it is similar to the range of a catapult, which is between 300 and 400 steps.

    This time Jin Jun realized what he was doing. When the scattered bombs were flying, you would be fine if you hid far away. Killing people with iron pieces was much more terrifying than killing people with guns and knives. You had to hide beside obstacles, so Jin Jun  As soon as you see the opponent's artillery shells flying towards you, you quickly huddle next to or behind the fortress.

    Smoke was rising again, and Jin Jun seemed to have been living in the smoke.

    Wan Yanchang broke into a cold sweat when he saw it, and said: "The Song Army's firearms are really powerful, and there are so many tricks that it is hard to guard against them. Fortunately, Zong Han has a plan for us, otherwise they will be defeated soon if they continue like this."  Fill the moat.¡±

    Gao Qingyi looked into the distance and frowned: "We can let them fill the river, but we must make it difficult for them to move forward. We cannot let the Song army easily approach the river bank. The longer we drag it, the higher our chance of winning."

    Seeing that the Song Army's artillery carts had entered the range of the catapults, Wan Yanchang ordered five hundred suicide squads to go to the river bank to shoot at the Song Army who came to fill the river. He also ordered the catapults to concentrate their firepower and bombard the opponent's artillery carts.

    I saw a dense rain of stones flying towards me. The stones were not very big, just about the size of a basketball, because no matter how big they were, the range would be shortened.  However, although this stone is not big, its force is not small under the action of gravity acceleration. Although it is not accurate enough, it is dense enough. The Song Army's iron car cannot escape under such a dense shower.  , so they did not dare to advance rashly and fired artillery fire on the spot to counterattack.

    But it is still beneficial to the Song Army. The small revitalization cannon only needs three people to control it, but the enemy's catapult requires dozens of people, and the Song Army's artillery shells are far more powerful than the Jin Army's stone bullets, so once  It hit near the catapult, and the driver of the catapult also suffered heavy losses.

    The two sides were fighting with each other. Although the momentum was huge, it was far less intense than the previous battle because both sides used long-range weapons, which was not as brutal as naked hand-to-hand combat.

    Zongze saw that there were many trebuchets on the opponent's side, so he ordered to cover the enemy's position with dense crossbows to cover his own artillery carts. This crossbow had five arrows per crossbow, and its range was longer than that of the revitalizing cannon, so it was quite powerful.  , the Song army fired hundreds of crossbows, and the thunderous attack forced the Jin army to huddle behind the fortress and use catapults to fire stone projectiles crazily, hindering the advance of the Song army.

    Although the Fangzi Crossbow and the Revitalizing Cannon have been suppressing the opponent's firepower, the thick and short fortress still allowed the Jin Army to fight back. This resulted in the Song Army's advancement being delayed, and the long-distance river filling was not efficient enough.  .  Zongze put down his clairvoyance and sighed: "If we take out the revitalizing cannon now, we might be able to defeat the defenders of this moat in one fell swoop."

    It was precisely because they had used it before that the Jin army was on guard. The fortress was reinforced and reinforced, and its thickness was more than four or five times the original. It was difficult for the revitalizing cannon to destroy their fortress in an instant. The key was that their catapults were all  They are scattered and arranged in different directions, and the front is protected by a fortress, so it is difficult for you toJust like last time, they blasted the opponent's catapult instantly. Just imagine what the scene would have been like if the Jin army had not prepared for the revitalizing cannon in advance. The fortress that was previously a combination of wood and stone was leveled in one round.

    ???????????????????????????????????????? But there was nothing we could do about it at that time. In short, every step was miscalculated, and every step was difficult!
