"Ready, light!"

After Li Yongtang adjusted the elevation angle of the launch, this time he no longer overstepped the kitchen to replace him, and directly asked the artillery commander to order him to command the launch.

Li Yongtang himself held a small black book and a small charcoal pen, stood aside, and intently observed the whole process of artillery firing.

This time, Li Yongtang pressed the elevation angle of the launch relatively low. In particular, after the bottom of the artillery was all reinforced, he had reason to believe that at least one out of ten rounds could be hit.

This one does not refer to the destruction of the city gates, but the projectiles that can hit the city walls.

With the actual combat power of the 12-pounder cannon, whether it is the bricks outside the rammed earth of the city wall, or the arrow battlements, as long as they are hit, they will have huge lethality!

According to past experience in actual fire, if you are lucky enough, if five shells hit the same area on the wall, that is, within half a zhang, the city wall will collapse.

If you want to collapse the city wall, you don't need to be too precise at all, as long as the location of the hit is about the same, you can give full play to the huge impact of the iron projectile.

In the era of black powder, artillery attacks on cities or military fortresses mainly rely on the impact of iron projectiles under the blessing of the high initial velocity of the discharge.

However, the thickness of the walls of the Daimyo's Mansion far exceeded that of ordinary castle walls. After decades of reinforcement by the Fu family and his son, the walls of the Daimyo's Mansion are afraid that they need at least ten hits before they can be blown down, right?

This is just Li Yongtang's own speculation, and there is not the slightest evidence to support it. After all, the section of the city wall used for simulation, although it is also sandwiched with rammed earth and covered with blue bricks, it is impossible to build to the thickness of the city wall of Kaifeng City.

In Li Yongtang's impression, since the Daimyo's Mansion is the entire Great Zhou Dynasty Beijing, and it is also an important northern town to resist the Khitans, after so many years of operation by the Fu family father and son, even if the thickness of the city wall is thinner than Kaifeng City, I am afraid that it is very limited, right?

Objectively speaking, Li Yongtang's judgment is basically not wrong. Among the cities of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, the first in thickness was naturally Kaifeng, the capital of the empire, followed by the Daimyo's mansion, which had been repaired for decades.

The city is high, the ditch is deep, there are many soldiers, and there is enough food, this is the root cause of the Fu family's father and son entrenched in the Daimyo's mansion and daring to disobey Li Zhongyi's orders.

Under the logic of great unification, the feudal town that dares not to listen to Li Zhongyi's greeting must be a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh.

What's more, the Fu family army of the Daimyo Mansion still has the support of the Empress Dowager Fu, so it is even more necessary to get rid of it quickly!

The "Boom ......" cannonball, carrying the power of destroying heaven and earth, once again smashed viciously into the walls of the Daimyo's Mansion.

At this moment, Fu Yanqing heard the exclamations from the people around him, and quickly withdrew his gaze from the houses inside the city walls, and turned to look outside the city.

"Knock ......" accompanied by an earth-shattering loud sound, the entire city wall suddenly shook, Fu Yanqing didn't pay attention, and his whole body shook a few times.

If it weren't for the quick eyes of the relatives around him, who helped him, Fu Yanqing almost fell to the ground.

"What the hell is this? How powerful is it? Is it really artillery? After Fu Yanqing stood firmly, he subconsciously blurted out.

The people around Fu Yanqing, no one had seen the power of the artillery after it was fired, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer Fu Yanqing's three consecutive questions.

It's just that after everyone came back to their senses, someone exclaimed: "City wall, city wall, look at the city wall......

Fu Yanqing realized that the situation was different, and he didn't care about the hard persuasion of his relatives, so he directly pushed aside everyone, ran to the person who was shouting and screaming, and leaned down to look at the city.

"Nourish...... On the city wall in front of Fu Yanqing, the blue bricks that were originally only wrapped in rammed earth were inexplicably peeled off, and at first glance, it was about two zhang square.

“…… What a great artillery......"

"Nourishing ......"

"Yike...... How so? ”

"Ah...... Ahh......h

In an exclamation, the mood of the generals of the Daimyo Mansion was unusually heavy, only one shot was hit, and a two-zhang square hole was broken on the city wall.

When the white smoke of the propellant dissipated, the big breach in the wall of the Daimyo's Mansion immediately appeared in front of Li Yongtang's eyes.

Li Yongtang held the monoculars, unwilling to look away for a long time, and the big hole was like a beautiful picture of a beautiful beauty, which firmly attracted his attention.

Standing high and seeing far away, Li Zhongyi in the command car saw the big breach in the city wall a little earlier than Li Yongtang.

"Hehe, such a big gap, even if the old man of the Fu family is not scared to death, he will be afraid!" After Li Zhongyi observed carefully for a while, he put down the monocular in his hand and joked with a smile.

Liao Shanhe, who had already taken over the command of the whole army, grinned and said: "If there were no 6-pounder and 12-pounder guns before, we would have to bury the black powder in the hole of the city gate in the dark at night." As long as the defenders are a little vigilant, it will be a tragic situation of medicine destruction and death. ”

Li Zhongyi nodded with a smile, curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and said, "In terms of range, it is definitely an inch long and an inch strong." There are 12-pounder cannons, and the so-called bull crossbows and divine arm crossbows of the Fu family army are too many to use, all of which can't reach us, so we can only be passively bombarded. ”

In view of the fact that Li Zhongyi was speaking seriously, everyone, including Li Anguo, followed suit.

"Lord, with such an artifact in hand, after destroying the Fu family's army, why don't you directly raise troops to the north and fight to the death with Yelu Xiuge under Youzhou City?"

"Heaven descended from heaven to the Lord and I in China, which is really a blessing for all the people!"

Li Zhongyi glanced at Liao Shanhe, and he secretly wondered in his heart, it had only been a few days, and the level of the sycophants surnamed Liao had improved by leaps and bounds, and he was about to catch up with the speed of the rocket.

In the Li family's army, there are not only the real skills of leading troops to fight, but also the heavy generals who are good at patting sycophants, except for Liao Shanhe, who is more?

Yang Lie's kid is only good at leading troops to fight, but he has always been a stuffy gourd, and he knows everything in his heart, he just doesn't pat on the back!

Song Yunxiang also occasionally patted his ass, but he was always so much worse than Liao Shanhe, that is, he could only understand the unspeakable problem of heat, and Song Yunxiang was slightly inferior.

As for Liu Heyang and Ma Guangda, the level of the two of them is still a gap from Song Yunxiang, let alone catching up with Liao Shanhe.

The sedan chair person carries the person, it depends on whether it will be lifted or not!

"Lao Liao, when the city is broken, remember to let someone know about it." Li Zhongyi originally wanted to hide back in the big tent and make a cup of green tea and take a few sips, but seeing that Li Yongtang's work was fruitful, he was even more relieved.

Liao Shanhe heard Li Zhongyi shout out the word Lao Liao, and immediately understood, Li Zhongyi was in a good mood, and he immediately bowed and said: "Lord, after the class teacher returns to the court, can you please enjoy a thin face and give the dog a well-deserved name?" ”

"Haha, that's right, it's a trivial matter!" Li Zhongyi swaggered away, leaving Liao Shanhe to have nothing to do in the command car.
