524. On May 26 of the third year, the smoke opened in Qin and Chu and embraced Chunshan
After the third round of shelling, the city of Xiangyang was completely cleared, and this majestic city, which could withstand the Mongol iron cavalry for a whole decade, gave up resistance after three rounds of shelling in the morning.
The heavily armored foot soldiers covered the earthwork team digging at the foot of the city, while the Vulcan battalion stared at the movement on the city wall.
But there was no movement on the city wall, only the howl of the ghosts in the city, and countless soldiers were delirious and blind and deaf by the explosion just now.
The soldiers who were far away were lucky not to be hurt too much, but they no longer dared to approach the city walls, and one of the surviving generals rushed to the Assassin's Mansion with a crawl, crying and kneeling on the ground, unable to even say a word.
"What are you crying about, what's going on out there? What is that thunder? ”
"Hex! It's witchcraft! My lord! ”
The general began to recall the nightmare that had been thrown at the beginning of the day, with countless paper packets filled with round bullets that exploded and spilled out the gray powder on the wall.
And then, the powder suddenly exploded, and the soldiers couldn't react at all, and when the dazzling ball of fire exploded in front of their eyes, everyone was blown to the ground, and some of them were even pushed several feet away, and many of them crashed directly into the wall or fell down the wall, and died like that.
But the general said that if he died, it was probably a blessing, those who did not die were the worst, explosions, high temperatures can instantly make a person lose their combat effectiveness, and even more terrible after burning, they will be like a ghost pinching people's necks and unable to breathe, many people escaped the fire but could not escape the ghost's throat, and suffocated to death on the city wall.
Some people jumped down from the top and fell a lot, and there were more than 5,000 casualties of varying degrees on this side of the city gate alone.
Aside from the casualties, there was more fear in their hearts, and now the soldiers no longer dared to approach the city walls, let alone go up to the city to fight back.
With the strange weapons and the theory of gods and ghosts, the morale of the defenders of Xiangyang is now unprecedentedly low, and most of them have no intention of fighting again.
"Regroup and continue to defend the city!"
Sun Zewei's eyes were bloodshot and he pointed to the city gate: "The new army in the East China Sea is only 2,000 people? What are you afraid of! ”
"Your Excellency...... They know how to do it! The new army in the East China Sea are all demons! Can't do it? No way! ”
Hearing the general's words, Sun Zewei picked up the saber and cut off the person's head and held it in his hand: "Who else would have imagined this person!" All to the city walls! ”
Although the soldiers still don't want to? But because of Sun Zewei, he climbed the city wall again? When they saw the purgatory-like scene on the city walls, some of the recruits couldn't help but vomit.
There are broken walls everywhere on this? And the man who had been badly burned and died in agony and twisting, with a scorching smell in his nose.
"Someone coming? They have ......"
Someone on the left suddenly shouted? But he didn't even have a complete sentence before he fell straight to the ground, with a fist-sized hole in his neck, bubbling with blood, and his hands scratching meaninglessly? After a while, he stopped moving.
At this time, all the soldiers on the city wall squatted down? Of course, there were also the bold ones who cautiously leaned out and looked down, but almost in an instant the bold man became a lifeless corpse.
This made the soldiers even more panicked, but at this moment, there were also generals and overseers coming, and they had no choice but to bite the bullet and start to find a way to deal with it. Someone down there is already doing strange things? It was supposed to be pouring gold juice, hot oil or stones on the bottom, but now none of this can be done? Because as soon as you show your head, you will be killed by those who seem to have demon magic.
"Brother, how much longer? I don't think it's going to be long before boiling water will be poured down on the top. ”
A heavily armored soldier with a shield fixed to the ground as a protective device is asking his comrades from the earthwork team who are constantly digging into the wall next to him? He had been ordered to finish his homework in a quarter of an hour, but now more than half of the time had passed? What if it was a little more slow? I'm afraid I'm going to be dowed.
What if it's doused with hot water? It's a big deal that it hurts for a while, but if it's doused by the hot gold juice, I'm afraid it's really going to be a small life.
"What's the hurry, I'm more panicked than you." The guy from the earthwork team wiped the sweat on his head: "This Xiangyang City is too hard......
"It's hard, this is the first pass of the Yangtze River, can it not be hard. I said brother, I'm shaking a lot ...... Hurry up. ”
The people below stopped talking nonsense, and chiseled harder. The walls of Xiangyang City were much harder than any kind of masonry they had practiced before, and it took a lot of effort to make a small crack in the root of the wall, but this crack was not enough to make the city wall collapse, so ...... Time was of the essence.
Soon, they could smell the foul smell coming from the city walls, and without thinking much about it, they knew that the golden juice was boiling on it, and that thing had been taken out of the dung pit, and if it had been burned, they would not have survived for a few days......
"Hurry, hurry! Retreated. The heavily armored foot soldier shouted at his comrades: "The flag is being raised in the rear!" Let's withdraw, they're going to start the second round of bombing. ”
"Wait! That's it! ”
The earthworkers looked up and saw that time was running out, for the big iron pots were already set up at the head of the city, and if they waited for that thing to fall, they would all be doomed.
"Boss, I'm done!"
Suddenly, a soldier shouted, and the big black bull also responded: "I'm done!" ”
At this last moment, seventy or eighty of the more than 100 members of the earthwork team said that they had completed it.
"Withdraw!"
Because there had been a drill before, the earthwork team had to advance and retreat together, so when the big black bull gave the order, all the earthwork soldiers turned around and ran towards the rear, while the heavily armored and shield-holding soldiers raised their shields backwards to protect their retreating companions until they evacuated to a safe point thirty meters away.
When I came to a safe point, the city wall suddenly began to pour down a rain of swords frantically, because it was a projectile, so it didn't have much power, although it could still stab the human body, but if you wore armor, you couldn't be hurt by these things at all.
The heavily armored foot soldiers raised their shields diagonally, and the sword rain fell on their shields with a clanging sound, and the arrows scattered all around, and occasionally stray arrows hit the armor of the heavy armor foot soldiers, but they were also like mud cows entering the sea without waves.
After they set up a battle to protect the baby bump of the earthwork team, the big black bull slowly walked over with the lead.
Speaking of which, how is this big black bull a talent, this guy is the only man in the entire Great Song Dynasty who can wear forty-two pounds of heavy armor, and he is also the only one in the earthwork team who wears heavy armor, plus he likes to pretend to be so handy, so he never needs someone to protect him.
"Dogs." The big black bull led the lead to the back of the array: "Let you taste what it means to shake the earth and shake the mountains." ”
After he finished speaking, he did not stop and continued to release the line, until he crossed the pontoon bridge and entered the safe area, he threw down the stuffy helmet on his head, turned back to the people in the battle array, gave a thumbs up, and then stripped the copper enameled wire off the outer lacquer and wrapped it in a strange device, and then shook a handle on the outside of the box vigorously.
"What's that for?"
Zuo Rou asked Song Beiyun curiously, but Song Beiyun just smiled: "Generate electricity, and then detonate the bomb by instantaneous current." ”
Zuo Rou: "??? ”
At this time, the big black bull in front of him silently counted one hundred and forty-five circles in his heart, and pressed the handle above in a very windy posture.
But this time nothing seems to have happened......
"It's too slow! Hurry up again. Song Beiyun shouted behind him: "The power retention time here is less than a second, are you still waiting for you to be handsome?" ”
When the big black bull heard his voice, he immediately craned his neck, and honestly began to shake the pole in the way in the tutorial, and then put one hand on the handle, and after a full hundred and fifty turns, he pressed the lever violently.
Suddenly there was a loud rumbling sound in front of me, and although it was not as loud as the previous flour explosion, it caused tremors ten times or even a hundred times.
Zuo Rou felt that she hadn't stood firm at that time, if it weren't for Song Beiyun holding her waist behind her, she was afraid that she would fall to the ground.
After standing firmly, she looked ahead, only to see smoke and dust billowing in the direction of Xiangyang City, and the dust covering the sky and the sun made Xiangyang's figure hidden in it layer by layer, and she couldn't see her true face at all.
And they can't see, but Xiangyang City is clear to see, when the roar, they saw a flood of air rushing to the face, followed by the dust in the air, and then saw the towering Xiangyang City's east city wall was cut down nearly half, a large amount of dust, masonry and debris rose into the air, if the rain was thrown in the city, the soldiers and people were all holding their heads and running around.
By the time the smoke and dust cleared, the outside could already see the scene inside directly through the gap, and where were the defenders on the city wall, countless people were lying around, and the scene was extremely tragic.
"General, you can go up." Song Beiyun said with a smile: "Today I promised the general to have a banquet for all of you Liao comrades in Xiangyang City in the evening, and Song will not break his promise." ”
General Wu was watching the battle from beginning to end, and he was already frightened at this time, and he was thinking about how to break this Xiangyang City all the time in the past few days, this is no longer a difficult bone to describe, it is simply a stone that cannot be gnawed at all.
From morning to now, only four hours later, a gap appeared in Xiangyang City, which was enough for his soldiers to pass through without hindrance.
He had just flashed the idea of taking Xiangyang City in one fell swoop and then taking it to His Majesty to invite merit, but when he saw the thunderous methods of the Song army, he was a little scared...... Even if he is in the battle now, it is difficult for him to say whether his tens of thousands of people can get close to this strange group of new troops in the East China Sea.
According to what was said before, the Song army was responsible for breaking the city, while the Liao army led by General Wu was responsible for entering the city and clearing it.
They are not ambiguous, since the new army in the East China Sea has blocked his tired mind, then he might as well make a contribution, and maybe he can be praised by His Majesty at that time, which is not bad.
However, the defenders of the city naturally did not sit still, they attacked through the gap, the city gates were opened, and countless soldiers surrounded them from all sides.
But before Song Beiyun could give an order, the sound of muskets and artillery had already resounded one after another.
The artillery was replaced with a chain of bullets made up of many iron balls in chains, and I swept through it with a single shot, and anyone who touched it would become fragmented, let alone cut off. And the muskets are even more powerful at such times, and a salvo is a fall, and they don't even have to aim......
When the soldiers in the city are killed by the pontoon, the bows and arrows, crossbow arrows and other conventional weapons are aroused, and the semi-automatic receiver for ammunition and crossbow arrows reminds people of the legendary Zhuge repeater, and the long-stroke compound bow fixed on the shelf and uses ultra-long arrows is a string of grasshoppers that can be strung with a bow.
After General Wu saw these equipment that were so sophisticated that they didn't seem to be the equipment of this era, he drooled with envy...... He desperately hoped that His Majesty could make it whole, if there was this guy, the Liao Kingdom would be invincible in the world!
The Xiangyang soldiers who failed in the first round of counter-breakthrough began to scatter and flee, but at this time, it was the turn of the Liao army to go out.
When it comes to siege, the Liao State is indeed a little weaker than the Song State. If you want to talk about bow shooting, then they are a little weaker than the Jin country. If you want to talk about riding and chopping, then they are indeed a little weaker than the grassland.
But if you want to talk about the flat land and the wilderness, the Liao people can pat their chests, raise a finger, laugh wildly, and ask the people of several surrounding countries: "How much is this?" ”。
No, the Liao reinforcements, who had been aggrieved for several days, crossed the river along the pontoon bridge like wolves, and it was really a car for the pawns to cross the river, and Song Beiyun was addicted to the rampage.
"Look at other people's battle formations, look at other people's coordination!" Xiao Song pointed at Yang Wenguang and said, "How did your uncle teach you?" ”
Yang Wenguang scratched his head: "You can't blame me, I was only a few years old when they were gone......"
And Xiao Song just smiled, continued to observe the dynamics ahead, and muttered to himself: "The infantry of the Liao State is indeed powerful, although it is said that the Xiangyang defenders have lost their morale, but the battle loss ratio is close to thirty to one, who can withstand this." ”
The battle of the Liao State is indeed beautiful, no wonder even the Yang family has not been able to win the Liao State several times in the legend, these people have good physical fitness, fast reaction, high coordination rate, and more importantly, their comprehensive quality of foot soldiers is really high, and they all have kung fu in their hands, which is really far superior to the Song State.
It seems that if you have time, you have to talk to Xiaohuya about this thing, but you can't come out of the entire United Military Academy.
And as the Liao army entered the city, Xiao Song also waved his hand: "Soldiers at all levels of the New Army in the East China Sea enter the city and prepare to surrender!" ”
"Wait, wait, wait." Zuo Rou jumped out at this time and pointed to a vacant lot not far away: "Soil team, dig a pit for me there, thirty zhang long and five zhang deep...... Well...... Ten zhang, ten zhang is enough. ”
