Chapter 847: Return to the Cannon

The Qingjiao coalition army and the Great Song Dynasty West Route Army cooperated quite well, and the hearty and straightforward nature of the plateau nation made the officers and men of the two armies get along quite harmoniously, and the most important point is that there is no contradiction and conflict between the two sides, and the interests are different.

The relationship between Qingjiao and the Great Song Dynasty is mutually beneficial, the two sides have entered the honeymoon period, and the military formation is also quite harmonious, the two armies have been under the city of the Gansu Army, and only need to attack the city and pull out the village to make the northwest of the Western Xia completely lost, and also make the Great Song Dynasty attack in the Western Xia together.

Outside the city of the Gansu Military Division, the army is ten miles of company camps, this spectacular scene makes people daunting, the two armies combined to the enemy's coercion is very huge, and the power of ten thousand thunderbolts is nothing more than this.

Such a battle made the Western Xia defenders dare not fight, can only shrink into the city to wait for help, at dawn, the army began to attack the city, the four walls of the city instantly suffered from great pressure, at this time the Western Xia people also became extremely tenacious, this is the last rush of the Western Xia in the northwest, once lost not only the Shandan horse farm fell into the hands of the Song people, but also let the entire northwest be connected by Qingjiao and the Great Song Dynasty.

The guard of the Gansu Military Division, Tuoba Hao, has no choice at all, despair spreads in the army, when the Western Xia sent troops to the Western Regions to do things too desperately, now Tuoba Hao has always regretted it, if the city is broken, the people of the Western Regions who joined forces with Qingjiao Tubo will let themselves go?

"General, what shall we do?"

The adjutant general's words made Tuoba Hao laugh, and said with a miserable voice: "How is it good? In addition to serving the country, how else can it be if it falls into the hands of the people of the Western Regions, life is better than death! ”

Tuobahao's words made the lieutenant general tremble, and he had planned to persuade Tuoba Hao to lead his army to break through, but now it seemed unlikely, and the only thing he could do was to fight to the death.

When the two of them came out of the tent, they saw a pair of eyes eager to survive, Tuoba Hao gritted his teeth, and squeezed out the words word by word from his mouth: "Want to live? If you can't fight to the death, there is no hope of life, don't forget that the ancestors of our party members are also fighting in this life and death! Fight to the death! ”

"Fight to the death!" Tuoba Hao's words provoked the blood of the party members, and he beat his chest and let out a roar full of fighting intent.

In the middle of the night, countless torches were lit, and on this bleak night, a tragic battle began, and the Song army's attack was decent, with all kinds of equipment, which was the result of a long preparation.

The military city of Gansu is very different from the capital city of Xixia, the city defense here is the most perfect, the wall as high as ten meters is a towering moat, if there is no equipment, when can you take this rock-solid military city by relying on human life to landfill?

Rushing cars, rushing cars, crashing cars, all kinds of equipment to attack the city wall in front of you, the hot lead water on the city wall, the raging wood poured down, between the two sides is a contest of attack and defense, human life at this time has become despicable, worthless as if to fall into this flesh and blood grinding plate.

The thick eight-ox crossbow made a sharp whistling sound in the night and penetrated deeply into the city wall, a soft ladder slowly hung down, and there were constantly crossbow arrows shot into the city wall, forming a ladder leading to the city wall, and the veterans of the forbidden army bit the horizontal knife in their mouths, and climbed on the soft ladder quickly like a monkey.

The Xixia people swung their knives and slashed at the soft ladder, a metal symphony sounded, the soft ladder did not break in response, but let the long knife in the hands of the Tangut people splash everywhere, and the soft ladder of the Great Song Dynasty used the toughest steel wire to stir together, which was extremely difficult to cut.

The huge chariot was like a huge beast in the night, slowly approaching the city wall, and the Liao people let out a frightened cry, and constantly fired firing crossbow arrows at this behemoth, but unfortunately, the soaked tarpaulin would not burn, and even if it did, it would not burn through the thin layer of iron outside.

When the building car reached the front of the city wall, the soldiers in the car cut the rope that was tied, and the huge door panel fell and smashed into the city wall, and the unlucky Xixia people were crushed under the door panel and vomited blood on the spot.

The forbidden soldiers who drew their swords pounced on the Tanguts, the narrow horizontal knives in their hands were extremely suitable for chopping under the action of the counterweight, and the shield block quickly formed a small killing array, at this time, there were constantly building cars approaching the city wall, and this huge monster also attracted the attention of the Tangut people, and spent more energy on dealing with the chariots.

Soon there was a tug-of-war on the city wall, the Tangut people began to use fire oil to deal with this behemoth, the fire oil is not afraid of water, and can even burn on the water surface, the Great Song Dynasty's chariot was soon burned by the Tangut people in the screams of the soldiers, the raging flames made the soldiers in the car have to cut the rope in advance and jump to the city wall, the distance is a little better, and the far one can only crash to death.

The forbidden army on the city wall soon fell into a state of isolation, even if their blades were sharp, they could not resist the crowd of the Tangut people, everyone knew that the enemy on the city wall was the most difficult and deadly, and should be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise there would be endless troubles.

The people of the Western Regions adopted a very peculiar artillery instrument, a huge stone was tied to the end of the wooden pole, the long arm was a huge soft pocket, more than 100 catties of stones were placed in it, the stones were stirred and hoisted high, when the machine was opened, the boulder would fall quickly with a long arm to throw more than 100 catties of stones into the distance.

Undoubtedly, this thing is quite fatal to the blow of the Tangut people, more than 100 pounds of artillery stone smashed on the city wall often take away the lives of several people or even dozens of people, if it is smashed on the surface of the city wall, it is a period of shaking of the mountain, in the strong city wall can withstand several smashes?

At the same time as the Song people withdrew, they began to learn from the people of the Western Regions the production of this kind of stone machine, the exquisite principle and simple and crude production method made the Song army amazed, and Yang Zhongxian, the general of the Western Route Army, saw that this thing was like a treasure, it should be made by the Hui people and named it the Hui Cannon.

The Song army, who was originally superb in Gewu, looked down on the things of the people of the Western Regions, but in front of this powerful and highly accurate return cannon, they had to learn humbly.

In the Western Route Army's skilled craftsmen under the careful research and judgment, the return cannon was made by the West Route Army, in fact, the principle of this thing is very simple, that is, the principle of counterweight and leverage, the Great Song Dynasty craftsmen who are well versed in the way of the object imitate the return cannon easily, at the same time, they also calculate the counterweight on the basis of the return gun, strengthen the length and hardness of the arm, so as to make the return cannon in the Western Regions become a more efficient siege equipment.

The stones, which could only launch more than 100 catties, have also become hundreds of catties, and their weight has increased several times, which makes the people of the Western Regions admire......
