Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- Since the mass production of unscrupulous guns, the most investment has been in the Japanese battlefield, because the unscrupulous guns require a very good environment and are best used for ambush. As long as they are attacked, the enemy will be almost the same. The Japanese army is all infantry. It's also more concentrated and more exciting when fried.
But it is a bit too unreliable to use in field battles. The range is short, between 100 and 200 steps, and the rate of fire is slow. In the wide plains, the cavalry can dodge casually, and it also needs to dig. Cave and Yanyun areas have also invested in unscrupulous artillery, but they have not been used on a large scale. The Song army officers prefer to use bed crossbows to attack fortresses, because they have a long range and are easy to operate. Moreover, bed crossbows also carry gunpowder and are very powerful. Mainly The safety factor is still high. After all, the heartless cannon is within the enemy's bow and arrow range.
This can be said to be the first time in history that unscrupulous cannons were used on such a large scale. This was entirely because the Jin Army's fortress gave the Song Army too much headaches, so they used unscrupulous cannons to break the formation.
Gao Qingyi, Wan Yanchang and other soldiers have never seen this heartless cannon. The flames look scary, but they are only about ten feet tall and cannot attack us.
Wow! So many sandbags!
Are they planning to use this to fill the river?
This thought flashed through the minds of Gao Qingyi and others.
I have to say that this is a way. The question is how much gunpowder is needed to fill the moat. The Song army is not so wealthy.
Huh? It doesn¡¯t look like it! All these sandbags flew to our position.
The soldiers holding the position have been battered by artillery in the past few days. The artillery shells are fast and fierce, and they are scary to see. Therefore, the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom who are used to seeing those artillery shells are not very afraid when facing the slowly flying sandbags. In fact, this heartless cannon is a launcher. The sandbag does not fly very fast and crawls across a parabola very slowly.
The soldiers of the Jin Army dodged very calmly, and they also expected that this thing might explode, so they all hid behind the fortress.
but.
Boom boom boom boom boom!
The moment these "sandbags" fell, the explosions could no longer be described as deafening or thunderous. Gao Qingyi on the city wall felt as if the mountains were collapsing and the ground was cracking. He almost fell off the city wall, only to see the Jin Army. A row of positions on the front line, mushroom clouds rise from the ground, straight into the sky, instantly forming a wall of smoke. Of course, this is a bit exaggerated, but at least you can't see the other side standing on the city wall. The smoke is so thick that in the city These days, that's pretty spectacular.
There were no screams because you couldn¡¯t hear them.
Standing far away, Zhao Kai felt a buzzing sound in his ears. In fact, let alone the Jin Army, it was the first time for the soldiers of the Song Army to see such a large-scale release of unscrupulous artillery.
¡°Either you stop this heartless cannon from firing in advance. Once it fires successfully, you will only be pleasantly surprised.
Zongze didn¡¯t care what state the enemy was in. He mobilized his entire army and pushed the front to the river bank.
Gao Qingyi heard the sound of killing from the opposite side, and quickly blew the horn and asked the soldiers on the front line to attack the enemy, but there was no movement. It was deathly quiet under the city, but you couldn't see clearly what was going on below.
Wan Yanchang covered his head and squatted on the ground. He was not afraid of thousands of troops, but this time he almost peed his pants. After a while, he shook his head and rubbed his hands. Shuang Er came back to his senses and stood up, but seeing such a scene again, he was completely panicked and didn't know what to do.
After a while, the smoke gradually dissipated, and we could faintly see that the position was full of corpses, lying upside down in various directions. There were only a few that were directly blown to pieces, and most of them were bleeding from the seven holes. These people were obviously shocked to death, and they were still alive. Some were shot to death by small stones blown away by the explosive force. What is even more surprising is that many others died from bows and arrows. It is understandable if you think about it carefully, because the soldiers all carried arrows. , under the action of the explosive force, the arrows rush randomly, and it is very likely to kill one of your own people, so there are not a few people who are killed by arrows.
Yes, the power of this black gunpowder is far from that of the yellow gunpowder of later generations. However, this is a package made of high purity at the current industrial level and has been extremely compressed and sealed. The explosive power is extremely impressive. Of course, it cannot be said that It razed everything to the ground, but the Jin army was completely unprepared. They didn't know that this thing was so powerful. They didn't consider this when they were avoiding it, and they were all hit.
Especially near the catapult, there were all corpses. It was really horrific.
As for the row of thick fortresses, a very strange phenomenon occurred, that is, the reinforced soil first cracked with cracks, and then began to slowly fall off, and the speed became faster and faster, without exception.
"It would be a bit reluctant for you to use these black powder to blow up the thick city wall, but theseThe fortresses are reinforced with soil. If you want to blow them up directly, you have to bury them under the fortress. If you throw your bag on top, it will be difficult to blow up. But this is impossible. The problem is that the soil is extremely strong. Under a big earthquake, collapse will occur. This is common sense in physics. In fact, Li Qi wanted to use the explosive power of the heartless cannon to collapse the soil outside. In less than a while, all those fortresses were exposed. The bare walls were only used to prevent There are arrows on the stone wall, and there are also various cracks on the stone wall.
All in all, under this round of fierce bombing, the Jin Army's position was completely wiped out, and in a moment, the death toll exceeded 2,000.
The key is that the Jin army was completely unprepared for this.
Since the Jin army had been completely wiped out, there was no need to fire a second round of heartless cannons. Zongze personally led the army to the rear of the heartless cannons fifty meters away without any damage. However, the Jin army's The position is exposed within the optimal range of the revitalization cannon. In the past few days, the revitalization cannon could not be aimed accurately. After all, the distance was relatively far and it was difficult to accurately hit the core of the enemy. But it is different now. Now the revitalization cannon can Highly aimed shooting.
Wanyanchang was frightened. He still dared to dispatch soldiers to the front. In fact, it was useless because the soldiers at the rear had shrunk to the corner. Anyway, the farther away from the shore, the better. Everything that happened in front of him had already They were frightened.
Bang bang bang!
Boom boom boom!
Fifty large revitalizing cannons and fifty small revitalizing cannons were fired at the same time. These were all stone bombs. The fortress without the protection of the earth seemed vulnerable to the extremely powerful shells and was directly destroyed. , because the previous fortresses were all designed to protect against arrows, and the thickest ones were also designed to protect against crossbows. Currently, there are no fortresses to protect against artillery shells, resulting in insufficient thickness. However, I believe that after this war, countries other than the Song Dynasty will build defense revitalization cannons. fortress.
This round of bombing was a high-precision bombing. The fragile fortresses began to collapse one after another, and the catapults behind it also began to be bombed one after another. Some catapults did not require the revitalization cannon to be fired, and the crossbows The car was directly destroyed.
Facing all this, the Jin Army could only watch helplessly. Fortunately, Gao Qingyi reacted quickly and quickly sent people to rescue the catapults. Although dozens of catapults were recovered, more than a hundred catapults were still scrapped.
Under the devastating blow of the heartless artillery, the Song Army finally established a foothold on the river bank, which forced the Jin Army to retreat to the city. This was the second line of defense, because the Jin Army's purpose was to delay time, and they built it here. The purpose of the second line of defense is to give itself a room to launch an attack when the Song Army crosses the river. If you retreat to the top of the city now, you will completely lose the ability to take the initiative to attack, and the Song Army crossing the river is actually very difficult. The key point is that this must be a tough battle, because you can't fill up the whole river. You still have to use people to occupy the other side so that the convoy can cross the river. This is a good opportunity for the Jin Army to attack. However, they still have to face The power of artillery.
After occupying the river bank, Zongze immediately organized a large number of soldiers to fill the river. This was much easier. They could fill the river day and night, which greatly accelerated the speed of filling the river. If it was like the previous few days, it would have to wait until what year and month!
Jin Jun could only watch as the opponent dumped bags of soil into the river, and had no choice at all.
And all Song Jun has to do is wait.
"Report ¡ª¡ª, report to the Emperor that there is an urgent message from General Zhang and General Zhe."
Zhao Kai was stunned for a moment and then said happily: "Could it be that they have already conquered Guizhou, Ruzhou and other prefectures and counties? Bring it quickly."
But when he opened the letter and looked at it, Zhao Kai suddenly frowned.
Zongze asked hurriedly: "Your Majesty, what happened?"
Zhao Kaicuo said in astonishment: "The Jin Army¡ª¡ªthe Jin Army has withdrawn."
"Withdraw troops?"
Zongze, Li Qi and others were all shocked.
Zhao Kai handed the letter to Zongze. After Zongze read it, he handed it to Li Qi, "It seems that the other party wants to protect Yunzhou with all his strength."
Zongze suddenly shook his head and said: "If they try their best to protect Yunzhou, then they should not withdraw their troops. Once they concentrate their forces in Yunzhou, then all our armies can arrive in Yunzhou and besiege them. If they want to protect Yunzhou, Yunzhou should contain the armies of our various ministries instead of bringing in several times the army to attack Yunzhou City."
When Zhao Kai heard this, he made some sense and said, "Are they planning to withdraw from Yanyun?"
Li Qi said confused: "If they really plan to withdraw their troops, why do they insist on holding on to Yunzhou so much? They can just retreat to the north. We haven't controlled the Great Wall there yet."
Zongze shook his head and said: "This matter is not that simple. That Wanyan Zonghan is definitely not in vain. There is no way he would do this."
?Zhao Kai's analysis made some sense, but it made him even more confused. "Then this is too strange. The Jin Army is neither withdrawing its troops nor returning to aid Yunzhou. So what is the Jin Army planning to do?"
Li Qi frowned and said, "Do you think it is possible for the Jin Army to see through our strategic intentions, abandon the city, and then concentrate its superior forces to launch a massive counterattack?"
Zongze's eyes widened when he heard this, and an ominous premonition suddenly arose, "Yes, it must be like this." After saying that, he immediately shouted outside the tent, "Here comes someone."
Someone walked in, and before he could speak, Zongze hurriedly said: "Send someone quickly to inform General Zhe and the others, and tell him not to take it lightly. Be careful of the Jin army's counterattack. You must be quick, otherwise it will be too late."
