    Just blast it and I'll throw it away.  The two sides fought from morning to afternoon before the Song army retreated. The key is that this revitalizing gun has another major shortcoming, that is, it cannot fire continuously for a long time, because long-term continuous firing will heat up the barrel and increase the chance of bursting.  , Therefore, in the secret report of the Ordnance Supervisor, this point was emphasized, and the gunners of the Shenji Battalion were warned not to fire unlimited cannons.  This long-range bombing caused damage to both sides, but the losses of the Jin army were much higher than those of the Song army, almost ten times that of the Song army, because the soldiers killed by the Song army were all soldiers filling the river, and the main force did not move.  It is a thousand steps away from the Jin Army, but the Jin Army suffered heavy casualties in the first round of bombing. However, this is the Jin Army's tactics, using human sea tactics to resist the Song Army's long-range bombing. These people have just been recruited from the city.  Yes, as Wanyan Zonghan said, there are hundreds of thousands of people in Yunzhou City. It may be a bit reluctant for you to let them go into battle, but if you let them throw stones and shoot arrows, it is more than enough.  From this point of view, the Jin Army also completed their strategic intention, which was to hinder the Song Army's advancement. The dense catapults made Zongze dare not let the army advance. In the end, they were still wandering around the edge of the catapult range.  Therefore, although the Jin Army suffered huge losses, from a strategic perspective, the Jin Army was slightly better.  However, the Song Army was not too aggressive and still had reservations. After all, this was only the first day, and both sides were tentative and did not use their full strength.  The Chinese military tent.  Zhao Kai took a sip of tea and said with a slight regret: "We still have a few revitalizing guns. If there are hundreds of them, the enemy will be unable to raise their heads." Hundreds of guns, you really dare to say that!  Although Da Song can get this amount, the problem is that you can't bring them all here at once.  You also have to prevent the Jin army from counterattacking. Yanshan Prefecture, Yuzhou Prefecture, and Taiyuan Prefecture are all equipped with revitalizing cannons, and these revitalizing cannons are not mortars.  It requires many people to transport it, and it is very difficult to cross mountains and rivers.  As a logistics officer, Master Li was confused: "Your Majesty, although our country has mass-produced revitalizing guns, the output is still not enough to meet the needs of hundreds of guns on one battlefield, and there are only three or four hundred guns in the entire Yanyun area. However, I have asked  People have arrived from Yingzhou to transport revitalizing artillery, but it will still take some time." Because they did not suppress the Jin army in the early stage, they did not dare to send supplies to the front line. After all, the cavalry's mobility advantage was too strong and they could be robbed accidentally.  .  The revitalizing artillery is the top secret of the Song Dynasty's military. Li Qi would not dare to send the revitalizing artillery unless it was absolutely safe. As for the artillery carriage, one hundred vehicles is already the limit. If it were hundreds of vehicles, it would require a large number of vehicles.  It requires manpower, seriously affects the speed of the convoy, and affects the formation, because the artillery car only has the function of firing cannons.  Soldiers may not fight around gun carriages.  The most important thing is that Zongze originally thought that Yunzhou had more than 10,000 troops at most, and this fleet was enough to destroy the enemy.  Who knew that Wanyan Zonghan had some tricks up his sleeve here?  Zongze said: "No matter what, we must find a way to destroy the enemy's catapults. Otherwise, the enemy's stone rain will make it difficult for us to move forward. As long as our artillery can push it to the shore, then we can accurately hit the opponent."  All defensive measures under the city will be able to protect us from filling the river." In the final analysis, we still have to cross the moat first, otherwise.  Your artillery cannot hit the opponent's walls.  Zhao Kai nodded and said with a hint of sadness: "Actually, the opponent's catapults are all made of wood. As long as they are concentrated, they will be destroyed. The most important thing is the enemy's thick fortresses. It is obvious that these fortresses are aimed at us.  Revitalizing the cannon, after today's battle, they only need to fill it with soil, so we must first find a way to destroy those fortresses. If we don't destroy the fortresses, we will not be able to destroy their catapults." "Dirt?" Li Qi squinted his eyes.  After thinking for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "Actually, there is no way to destroy the opponent's fortress." Zongze asked hurriedly: "What's your clever idea?" On the battlefield, Li Qi rarely made blind ideas.  , but once he opens his mouth, it's almost doable.  Li Qi smiled and said, "Did Zong Zhifu forget that we still have a big weapon in our formation?" "Heartless cannons?" "Exactly." Li Qi said, "We still have a hundred heartless cannons in our formation, and Hunyuan County  The three hundred unscrupulous cannons are already on the way and will be reached in a few days. The four hundred unscrupulous cannons will fire a salvo to protect the position that can destroy the enemy." Zongze questioned: "Even the revitalizing cannon  Even heavy artillery shells can't destroy the enemy's fortress, so can unscrupulous cannons? Moreover, the range of unscrupulous cannons is relatively short, so they must be placed on the river bank to attack the opponent's position, and to place unscrupulous cannons, holes must be dug first.  The enemy can use bows and arrows to stop us from digging holes if we stand on the shore. The enemy will never let us get close to the shore easily. If we forcefully dig a hole, I'm afraid we will have to pay a high price?" "Don't worry, we will definitely be able to do it.  ." Li Qi smiled evilly and said, "Leave this matter to me, the logistics officer." Zhao Kai chuckled and said, "Zong Aiqing, since our logistics officer says so, then he will definitely not let us  Disappointed." In the evening, both sides began to clean up the battlefield. This was the rule on the battlefield, because corpses are a very scary thing, and if left unchecked, they may cause plague.  Actually in frontOn the same day, some people talked about throwing corpses into the rivers to create a plague, but Zongze rejected it, because once the plague occurred, the Song army would be unable to avoid it. The rivers here extend in all directions, and you have no way of knowing where the water is virus-free.  You also need to drink water, and Yunzhou occupies the upper reaches of the waters in the Yanyun area. This moat is not dead, but living water. Maybe the plague will plunder the entire Yanyun area. If all these people die, then this castle still has  Use p.  In fact, there are unwritten rules on the battlefield, that is, it is strictly forbidden to create plague, because both sides are afraid, and you can't leave after the fight, so no one can guarantee that they will not be infected. Once the plague breaks out, no one can stop it.  , there is no way to hide, only extremely shameless people will use this trick, such as the Huns during the Han Dynasty. It is said that Huo Qubing died of this plague, but it was a desert area, and the possibility of a plague outbreak was relatively high.  Not to mention the Jin Army.  However, the Song army burned them on the spot, while the Jin army buried them.  Because the Song Army came from afar, the body will rot if you send it back, and the Jin Army's words.  Especially the people who died this time were almost all people in the city.  Therefore, their families naturally transported them back for burial.  During the cleaning process, the Song Army included a large number of engineering regiments among the cleaning personnel. These people began to measure on the river bank. To put it simply, they drew circles, because unscrupulous cannons were not buried casually, but also to be buried.  After measurement, the distance between the two guns must be guaranteed.  Because once a heartless cannon explodes, it will be too powerful.  Since the Song Army was very covert, the Jin Army didn't pay much attention.  But the Song Army cannot carry out large-scale construction. If the Song Army starts digging, the Jin Army will definitely attack. Although they don't know that they have no conscience, they may be digging to fill the river. This is an offensive action and violates the law.  If you break the rules, I will definitely attack you.  certainly.  This rule cannot be broken, but.  At the third watch, the moon is dark and the wind is high.  A group of men in black quietly came to the shore, groped for the marks made in the evening, and started digging holes with shovels, because there must be Jin troops patrolling on the other side, lighting torches to prevent the Song troops from crossing the river at night, you have to crawl on your knees  Digging on the ground. If these dozens of people stand up and dig, they are likely to be noticed by the enemy.  Li Qi hoped to give Jin Jun a surprise, so he repeatedly told them to be careful.  Be sure not to be discovered by the enemy.  The excavated soil will be transported directly back.  Tomorrow we will prepare to fill the river. It is really a double kill. You have to dig the soil anyway. After digging, you put wooden boards on it and retreat immediately before dawn.  The Jin army was completely kept in the dark.  On the second day, the Song Army continued to bombard the Jin Army from a distance, but it reduced the number of people filling the river. After all, this kind of long-distance filling of the river was inefficient and caused heavy damage, so Li Qi did not recommend doing such a completely inefficient thing.  .  At the same time, news came from the southwest and northwest. As expected, the Jin army sent elite troops to guard Zuoyun County, Changqing County and other places. The two armies of Liu Qi and Yang Zaixing failed to achieve obvious results, making it impossible for the Song army to reach the siege.  The purpose of closing the border has further increased the pressure on Zongze and others. All their hopes are pinned on the heartless cannon.  For three days in a row, the Song army carried out crazy bombings. Although it did not achieve its strategic intention, it still let out a fierce breath. It was the nomads who treated them like this before, but now they finally besieged them once, and they have not fought back yet.  In terms of ability, the Jin Army also suffered heavy losses, but they still retained their elite troops. The people on the front line were all civilians recruited temporarily.  The only regrettable thing is that three of the revitalizer cannons burst, killing one person and injuring five others, but only one was seriously injured.  The conscienceless cannon from Hunyuan County finally arrived, and after days of excavation, the hole to house the conscienceless cannon was ready.  However, if you want to place so many unscrupulous cannons in one night, it is obvious that the movement will not be small, so it is very likely to be discovered by the enemy, so Li Qi repeated his old trick and placed ten revitalizing cannons and ten bed crossbows on the edges of both sides.  , as soon as midnight arrived, they immediately launched an artillery attack on the Jin Army's position. As a result, the Jin Army's attention was all on both sides, and the soldiers in the middle quickly placed unscrupulous cannons.  When the engineering regiment in the middle was settled, Li Qi stopped attacking. The Jin army was tired. Seeing that the Song army retreated, they breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the Song army would not come again. The engineering regiment began to quietly place the heartless cannons on both sides.  .  At the break of dawn.  The Engineer Regiment used the first ray of dawn to complete the last few steps of the Heartless Cannon, because it was night after all, and it was inconvenient to handle some things if you couldn't see them clearly. Moreover, this was gunpowder, so you had to do everything right.  Prepare.  At dawn, Wan Yanchang and Gao Qingyi came to the city wall on time to supervise the battle, because the Song army usually launched attacks at this time.  At the top of this city, I suddenly found that the other side was densely packed with holes. Although each heartless cannon was far away from each other, they were relatively far away.  A small black hole.  Just before they recovered, Zongze had already issued the order to attack.  The engineers who were lying on the ground immediately lit the fuse, and then immediately ran towards the ground, jumped up, and lay on the ground. If they had enough time, they usually used the double pit method, but now there was no time for them to do it again.  Dig a hole, justIf you can make do with it, you can only blame God if you get blown up.  In less than a moment, only a whirring sound was heard, and four hundred flames rushed out of the iron barrel. Gao Qingyi, who was standing in the distance, was stunned when he saw it.  Li Qi smiled softly and said: "It's really exciting!" ps: It's delivered in the middle of the night. Please vote for me, recommend me, and reward me.  .  .  .  (To be continued)
