Chapter 118: Battle of Fengxiang Mansion (3)
The Jiudang Mountain army is seriously unstable!
That day and night, the Dang captivity army attacked again at night, but instead of bombing the city with gunpowder, it sent a large army to the city directly, and it only took two hours for Jiudang Mountain to be lost.
The emotions in Fengxiang's mansion are already a little out of control!
In just two days, the Fengxiang Mansion city defense system he arranged completely collapsed, and Fengxiang Mansion completely became an isolated city.
Although there are still tens of thousands of troops in the city, whether they can defend Fengxiang Mansion or not, I don't know whether I can ask for it.
Jigong Mountain, Jiudang Mountain, Yuanding Fort, the three fortresses fell too quickly!
Zhe Keqiu feels a little desperate, is it really so much worse than the army of thieves? !
He didn't believe it!
He couldn't believe it!
……
In Kangzhuang, inside the Gao family's mansion, the generals of the Dang Capture Army gathered together to discuss ways to attack Fengxiang Mansion.
"Night attack, if you want me to say it's still a night attack."
"No, the night attack alone has been used several times, the Song army must be prepared, let's attack head-on, the metropolitan governor please send our department as the first troops."
"Metropolitan Governor, my department is willing to be the first!"
"If you want me to say that it is better to dig a tunnel and prepare for blasting, directly blow up a section of the city wall, and when the army enters the city, the Song army will definitely collapse at the touch of a button."
“……”
A large group of high-ranking generals of the Dang Capture Army were clamoring and shouting, and Chen Yan sat at the top and frowned in contemplation.
In front of them, the huge sand table clearly described the landform around the entire Fengxiang Mansion City.
"Stop!"
Chen Yan said softly, although the voice was very soft, but no one dared to disobey, and everyone closed their mouths almost at the same time and quieted down.
Chen Yan's eyes swept around and spoke.
"How many artillery pieces do we have in our army now?"
"Report to the Governor, now there are 137 large and small artillery pieces in our army, including 10 2,000-pound heavy artillery, 20 1,000-pound heavy artillery, 40 500-pound cannons, and the rest are all light mortars."
Hua Zhongxin, the logistics officer of the Dangling Army, stood up and said that he was one of the deputy directors of the logistics department of the Dangling Army, and he was responsible for the preparation of materials for these Dangling Army's expeditions, and his position could be said to be extremely important.
"What about gunpowder and cannons?"
"Report to the Metropolitan Governor, our army has 5,000 stone of gunpowder, 600 2,000 catties of heavy artillery, 1,300 1,000 catties of heavy artillery, and 3,000 500 catties of cannons."
As for the mortar cannon, it is actually a shotgun, and the operation is simpler than that of ordinary cannons, as long as the gunpowder is loaded, and then the gravel, iron nails and other things are stuffed into the barrel and ignited, and there is no need to make a cannon for use.
It has the advantages of fast rate of fire, wide coverage, light weight and ease of use.
But its shortcomings are also very obvious, the power and range are very touching, it is okay to fight a dozen cavalry and infantry, and if it is used to siege the city, it will be dwarfed.
Chen Yan bowed slightly, and pointed his finger at the position of Jigong Mountain on the sand table.
"Jigong Mountain, the high ground outside Fengxiang Mansion, the terrain is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, we set up artillery on the top of the mountain, the artillery can directly enter the city of Fengxiang Mansion, and the entire west gate of Fengxiang Mansion is all exposed to the range of our artillery."
……
The next day, as soon as the sun rose, the artillery of the Swingers began to fire.
Bang! Thundered!
As if the sound of thunder exploded, one cannon after another bombarded the Fengxiang Mansion City, and even some of the cannons crossed the city wall and smashed into the Fengxiang Mansion City.
A cannon smashed straight into the Song army camp, and several guys who were cooking were hit by the cannon, their bodies were broken into several sections, and their intestines and internal organs were spilled everywhere.
A large cauldron that was still boiling was also knocked to the ground, and a large pot of rice porridge was spilled, mixed with the soil, and it was inedible.
The sound of the explosion, the firelight reflected half of the unlit sky, and the entire Fengxiang Mansion became quiet.
The roar of the artillery rang out for a full quarter of an hour before it stopped, and the entire Fengxiang Mansion was filled with wails.
Innocent people affected by the fighting fled their houses and towards the center of the city.
A rumor quietly spread in Fengxiang Mansion.
In a refugee camp, thousands of refugees gathered, all of whom had suffered as a result of their houses near the city walls.
On the one hand, it is the artillery threat of the Dang Captive Army, and on the other hand, it is the scourge of the Zhejia Army, which wants to defend the city, and rolling wood and stones are indispensable.
And they couldn't get out of the city, so they set their sights on the houses near the city walls, and if the houses were demolished, wouldn't there be all the rocks and rolling logs?
Also, the houses have been demolished, so it's not bad to grab some food, right?
The food is all grabbed, it's not too much to grab some money, right?
Then the people of the city were unlucky.
Countless people have become refugees, and they have been driven out of their homes by the soldiers who have broken their families.
The people had no choice but to ask the government for help, and the government only set up a few refugee camps in a perfunctory manner.
I found a vacant lot, built a few shacks, and set up two porridge shacks, which was even a refugee camp.
In fact, it is just to bring together the people who have become refugees, so that they do not cause trouble.
But they didn't expect that a message would indeed spread quietly in the refugee camp.
"Did you hear that? The thieves are about to break the city. ”
"Really? I don't think the soldiers of the imperial court are very powerful, how can they not defeat the thieves? ”
"Hey, you know a fart, the officials and soldiers of the imperial court are powerful, but the army of anti-thieves is not bad, it's only been a few days, and the three forts outside Fengxiang Mansion have all been lost."
A scrawny, ragged old man said.
"Really?"
A man who looked a little honest asked.
"Old man, why am I lying to you, have you heard the thunder that has been ringing continuously for the past few days?"
The old man asked.
The people around nodded their heads, and these people, who had never seen a weapon like artillery, regarded the movement of the artillery as thunder.
"This is a thief attacking the city."
The old man said.
"Uncle, what does the anti-thief siege have to do with thunder?"
A middle-aged man in the crowd asked.
"Thunder, who can thunder?"
The old man asked rhetorically.
"I know, I know! Thunder male and electric mother. ”
A child accosted innocently.
"Who is Lei Gongdian's mother?"
"Heavenly immortals!"
The old man touched his sparse beard and said, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth.
"The anti-thieves attacked the city with the help of the heavenly immortals, what does this mean? The thief...... Ahh ”
The old man slapped himself in the mouth and said.
Everyone showed a thoughtful expression and nodded in unison, feeling that what the old man said made sense.
"Old man, do you think the thief can enter the city?"
A thief-eyed guy asked.
"That ironclad can, how could the emperor Lao Tzu, who has the mandate of heaven, not be able to enter the city."
The old man glared at the thief-eyed guy and said.
The eyebrowning creature rolled his eyes, then withdrew from the crowd and walked to his shack.
