Chapter 1321: Klingzhou
Chapter 1321 Klingzhou
The explosion alarmed Liu Shiheng, who was having lunch, and when he heard the sound of the gun, Liu Shiheng immediately used the magic gun: "All the bayonets, there is a change in the fine jujube bay!" ”
The team reacted quickly, and when Liu Shiheng rushed to Xizao Bay as soon as possible, the sound of fighting, shouting, shooting, and explosions had already resounded chaotically.
Liu Shiheng had a copper whistle in his mouth and blew it suddenly.
The sharp whistle sounded a few short rhythms, and the Song soldiers in front of them, except for those who were still fighting with the Xia people, suddenly fell to their stomachs.
"Bang bang bang bang ......" The platoon guns rang out, knocking down the Xia people who had just shouted for battle.
"Bang ......"
"Bang ......"
The bullets whistled in the air, ruthlessly reaping the lives of the Xia people who broke into the Song army's vehicle formation.
Similarly, it also includes those soldiers of the New Army who fought with the Xia people to the point of forgetfulness.
After five rounds of guns, there was no one standing on this protruding river bay, Liu Shiheng changed the magazine, rushed to an overturned van, and felt two earth-shattering thunderbolts and threw them.
More and more soldiers of the New Army rushed to the gap and began to throw earth-shattering thunder.
The situation was gradually brought back by the new army.
Chongzhen led the cavalry to arrive, and the cavalry, which had not been powerful, began to clear the fleeing Xia army in this area.
The ambush cannon began to exert its might, bombarding the jujube grove opposite.
By the time Su You and Gao Zunyu arrived here, the fighting had stopped, and the car formation in the salient had been re-closed.
The jujube grove on the other side of the canal is full of the corpses of Xia people.
The position was in shambles, and the fighters were busy giving first aid to the wounded robes.
More than a hundred white sheets, covered with the new troops who died here.
Su You's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and Gao Zunyu patted him on the shoulder: "Mingrun, Ci is not in charge of the army, you need to be calm at this time." ”
Su You took a deep breath: "The enemy is becoming more and more cunning. ”
"Originally, I wanted to delay the enemy army as much as possible and give Chongwu some time to arrange calmly, but now it seems that the more it drags on, the greater the variables."
"Break the embankment, divide the enemy army first, wait for the fifth to arrive, let him and Su Lie take advantage of the muddy, and slowly advance in the division."
"Let's turn around and hit Lingzhou!"
The mud and pine wood that were put down from Lanzhou have been piled up at the mouth of the gorge these days, and in just one day, Liang Lingtong, who was guarding Lingzhou, found that countless cowhide rafts were floating on the moat outside Lingzhou City.
Cowhide raft plus pine, outside Lingzhou City, there are five more pontoon bridges overnight.
Lingzhou is surrounded by shrubs, and Liang Lingtong himself only has bows and arrows as guards, where did the Song people get the big pine wood? !
He had thought about the Song people's siege method countless times, but he never thought that the Song people would be able to build bridges over the moat.
However, something even more unbelievable happened to him.
In the middle of the camp of the Song people outside the city, a behemoth rose.
A super huge Kong Ming lantern, with a basket hanging at the bottom and sandbags around it, was carried by several gray-clothed sergeants with some strange equipment, and was carried into the air by the Kong Ming lantern.
A large winch in the camp was connected by a thick rope under the Kong Ming lantern, and Liang Lingtong watched as the basket rose to level with the head of the city, and the sergeant above pointed it at him with a strange cylinder in his eyes.
Liang Lingtong screamed in fright, and ran down the city tower with a rolling belt, running towards the water gate of Lingzhou City.
The Xia people at the head of the city fired their bows and crossbows at the huge monster in vain, but the distance was too far, and the crossbow arrows fell one after another.
The large furnace in the basket spewed flames intermittently, until it rose to the height of the three Lingzhou city walls before it stopped.
Soon, the sketches of the city of Lingzhou and the parameters of the shelling, clamped to iron clips, slipped from the string attached to the basket of the hot air balloon.
The firing range of the thunderbolt cannon is not good, but the ambush cannon that is close to the outside of the moat is not a big problem to cover the small Lingzhou City.
Chongpu took the sheet and sketch from the clip and began to read.
Wait until the soldiers adjust the muzzle: "The first round of test firing, two rapid fires, release!" ”
Forty-five ambush cannons, all in unison let out a dull roar, and threw ninety cannonballs into the city.
Soon, explosions and chaotic shouts rang out in the city.
Iron clips constantly slipped off the balloons, and under the guidance of the balloon observers, the firing direction was constantly corrected.
Looking down from the balloon, Lingzhou City had an unobstructed view, and there were more than 30,000 defenders in the city, who were completely stunned by such a sudden blow.
The explosions became more and more precise, and the key places to take care of were the official offices and military camps.
The stables in the south of the city were blown open, and countless horses escaped, adding to the chaos in the city.
The crowd was completely frightened by the huge monster in the sky and the terrifying explosion on the ground, and the instinct to avoid the horror caused them to rush towards the water gate to the north.
The horrific cannonballs chased the fleeing crowd from south to north into the streets and houses.
Sergeant Xiaren, who didn't think about packing up his weapons at all, ran away crying and shouting, and every explosion of a bomb would take away a wave of lives.
Regardless of the courage of the generals and the quality of the sergeants, the Xia State and the Great Song Dynasty, in fact, every country has the same problem - from the border area to the central government, it is decreasing one by one.
Gunsmoke was everywhere in the city, and several fire and fire oil depots used for city defense were ignited, and black smoke rose from them.
The observer on the balloon waved the red flag, and Guo Huai looked at the Lingzhou City Tower with a telescope in his hand: "General attack!" ”
The thunderbolt cannon, which had been silent for a long time, began to wield, and a few shells first landed on the tower of Lingzhou City.
The huge explosion directly blasted the tower into several sections, and countless stones, mud bricks, wood, and the human body of the Xia army defending the city fell from the city like a torrential rain.
In the quiet moat, a dense ripple suddenly appeared, which was thrown into the river a hundred meters away from the city by the explosion.
The commander who defended the city was still a bit of a soldier, and he still insisted on guarding the city when the commander fled before fighting.
However, in this wave of bombardment, he died directly.
The Xia army, which had lost its command, completely lost its fighting spirit under such a heavenly authority, and fled from the city wall one after another, following those comrades who had long been terrified, and fled towards the northern city.
The muzzle of the cannon gradually moved down, and a cannonball flew towards the south gate of Lingzhou City, and the huge momentum caused it to directly penetrate the wooden and iron-inlaid gate, and submerged into the mud and stone behind the door that blocked the entire section of the doorway, and then exploded suddenly.
Countless mud and stones gushed out from both sides of the city gate like a flood, and the city gate that the Xia people worked hard to block, the Song army only used one cannon to completely open the hole.
Gao Zunyu waved his hand, and Li Wenzhao led 20,000 troops to cross the pontoon bridge, braving the bricks, tiles, mud and stones that were still falling, and rushed towards the city.
After all 20,000 men entered the city, Chongzhen's cavalry slowly followed, and then the new army entered the city, occupied the city wall and various high places in the city, and followed the city wall all the way to the north gate.
At the north gate of Lingzhou, Lujiadu, the crying and shouting shook the sky.
Liang Lingtong had already boarded the big boat, holding the mast and shouting hoarsely: "Start the boat!" Hurry up and get on the boat! ”
Liang Lingtong has no ability, let alone a general, he is a gentleman in the family.
Talking about money and playing with girls is a good hand, until there is a queen aunt and queen sister in the family, which mixed into the political arena and became the Lingzhou Taishou.
Even when Liang Yongneng and Renduo Lingding were fighting bloodily for the country, he was still looking for beauties for himself in Lingzhou City.
Even the military rations of the two of them were deducted a lot by this short-sighted and incompetent guy, and they were ready to fill their own pockets, so that Liang Yongneng finally had to kill on the oasis.
The ferry was already densely packed with people, and from time to time there would be the kind of jet-black guy falling from the sky constantly bursting in the crowd, and each time it exploded, it would clear a clearing and a sea of blood, and then be refilled by the chaotic crowd.
Countless sergeants jumped into the icy water, grabbed the ropes and rudder tips, and climbed the boat with all their might.
The captain had already fled, and the guards slashed at the sergeants who were about to board the ship, chopping the ropes, and clumsily propping the ship away from the harbor with the iron head of the pole, regardless of whether the iron tip was aimed at the cornerstone of the port or the body of the robe.
Louder exclamations and cries erupted from the back of the port, and countless people rushed towards the port, squeezing the people on the stone steps of the port into the water.
A big banner appeared on the head of the North Gate City - Tiandu Recruitment!
Li Wenzhao led his subordinates through the city at the fastest speed and went directly to the north gate.
After following the army for half a month and seeing the terrifying firepower of the Song army several times, he was already very clear about his future.
There is no way out except to show his loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty.
Merit! He has to get a big credit!
It's not even a credit, even a big fault!
What's more, he has long had a bitter hatred for the back party of the Xia Kingdom, and this country was finally destroyed in their hands.
Wearing a red Song army jacket and holding the excellent cavalry sword of the Song Kingdom in his hand, from now on, he is the most ferocious dog in the Great Song Dynasty!
"Kill!" Li Wenzhao gritted his teeth, held his riding knife high, and slashed at the panicked and defenseless compatriots on the dock.
Compatriots slaughter their compatriots, more ferociously than the army of the enemy country!
On the side of the Yellow River, a small half of the more than 20,000 Xia people were squeezed into the floating ice water by their comrades-in-arms, and the heavy leather jackets instantly turned into heavy burdens, ruthlessly leading them to the deep water.
More than half of the remaining corpses, under the frenzied killing of Li Wenzhao and his subordinates, lay down the Yellow River for a full five miles.
In Lujiagang, there are all the corpses of Lingzhou guards floating densely, and even the turbid Yellow River water has turned into a strange orange.
