Chapter 8: Shenwu Cannon
In addition, the 100,000 mountains outside Liangzhou are the territory of the Yi people, and the Yi people are good at making weapons and armor, because there are more mountains, after the collapse of the Wuzhou Dynasty, the great unified dynasty before the Yunguo, they enclosed the land for autonomy, and the Yunguo was too lazy to conquer that wild land, so it exists today, which is why Chen Hengzhi emphasized the reason for closing the door and beating the dog, although Shu is now under the iron-fisted policy of the Yunguo, no one has resisted, but if Wang Tianjun and others unite with the Yi people from time to time behind you to give you such a knife, If it is harmless in normal times, it will make people feel disgusting at most, but in the face of the major event of life and death in the land of Hexi, the knife of the Yi people is undoubtedly a fatal blow!
"Hmph, Chen Hengzhi, you gutless rat can only be entrenched here as a shrinking turtle, or not, the day I capture the three cities of Shangjun will be the time when you enter the grave!" Wang Tianjun said that he commanded the soldiers to enter the palace, they came to bring a lot of siege equipment this time, the original best tactics were to go out of the city to meet the enemy when they were not in the city, but the city of Ningnan was broken, Chen Hengzhi inevitably fought against the enemy in two lines, and to ensure that the grain road was unblocked, only 7,000 men and horses in his hands were used for garrison, so he had to delay the time, and wait until the other corps learned that the grain road was attacked, and he would definitely lead the army to come to the rescue!
"Heh, this old boy is really well prepared, rushing the car, high oars, ladders, arrow towers...... But I'm sorry, times have long since changed! Come on, bring up the two Shenwu cannons transported from the capital, and let Wang Tianjun see what knowledge makes people progress! ”
Chen Hengzhi said that he only saw a few pawns from the arrow towers at both ends of the two Shenwu cannons, which were produced by the Shenji Battalion, because they were still in the experimental stage, and were not assembled to the entire Dayun Army, the Shenwu cannons would sometimes explode, but Yun Xingyan was afraid that Chen Hengzhi would lose, so he used the military department to approve two cannons for use in Shangjun, which was also Chen Hengzhi's biggest reliance!
"The cannon is in place"
"The shells are loaded, may I ask the general if he has opened fire?"
Chen Hengzhi said with a smile: "Don't worry, wait for them to get closer, wait for their soldiers to go up to the nest car well fence, specially give me the equipment to bomb them, the shells save a little bit, and a few of your artillery, after the fight, they will withdraw to the arrow tower, but they are all talents, gold is expensive!" ”
So after a cup of tea, Wang Tianjun under the city has already been deployed, the catapult, the well fence, and the rushing car are all assembled, but he just gave an order, the soldiers rushed up with confidence, and when they were only fifty steps away from the city, they suddenly only heard a deafening roar from the city tower, and then those siege equipment were all shattered by the shells, and a cloud ladder was stacked on top of each other, not to mention that it could carry hundreds of soldiers, but in an instant, the corpses were all over the field......
"Stop, stop!"
Rao is Wang Tianjun reacted in a timely manner, but also let the advance troops damage more than half, the siege equipment was destroyed completely, the cannon range is within two miles, the rapid loading of shells in addition to water cooling cannon barrel and then cleaning the rifling can do a stick of incense and a shot (six minutes, normal Daming artillery can do three minutes a shot, but in the Great Cloud Empire is too advanced others to play what, so change, as for the ancient concept of time words, I here is a popular science, a year has December, January has five weeks, a week has six days, a day has twelve hours, There are four quarters in an hour, three teas in one moment, two pillars of incense in one tea, five points in one pillar of incense, six snaps of fingers in one minute, and ten moments in one snap of fingers. A flash is a second)
It's just that there are a little fewer shells, only twenty rounds, not that Yun Xingyan is stingy, it's just that this kind of dangerous thing is extremely difficult in the transportation process, and a slight carelessness can cause an explosion. Wang Tianjun, have you seen the power of our Dayun Shenwu cannon? You are not qualified enough, quickly call Nangong Ao to come out and die! ”
"You...... You don't want to be rampant, this matter is not over! ”
Wang Tianjun temporarily withdrew from the army and camped on the plain thirty miles away from Shangjun, in the end he is also a veteran of the battlefield, knowing that death is not the last word, as long as he is stationed here, if the wolf clan breaks through several cities at the front of the Hexi Corridor, then Chen Hengzhi will definitely lead the army to retreat, so occupying Shangjun can overlook the fifteen cities of Guanxi, not to mention the land of Hexi, he Wang Tianjun dares to fight directly from Shangjun to the gate of Jiayuguan!
"According to the normal tactics, I am afraid that it will be difficult to capture Shangjun, for today's plan, we can only wait for night to fall and use my royal family's secret technique to attack the city and break the enemy!" Wang Tianjun sighed, and finally at night, the bones of the soldiers who had not had time to clean the battlefield during the day got up from the ground one after another, and they were not afraid of death to hit the city gate again and again with wooden stakes......
In Shangjun City, Chen Hengzhi had long expected that Wang Tianjun would not give up, and after hearing that the soldiers came to report that some soldiers had died and came back to life, he did not panic, and ordered the soldiers to shoot rockets to resist the enemy from top to bottom, and there were still 14 shells left in the Shenwu cannon, Chen Hengzhi would not have the luxury of exchanging such treasures for the heads of those dead corpses! delicacies
At this time, in front of the military formation, Wang Tianjun ordered the soldiers to push the coffin made of five stones to the front of the formation, and put down the Yin Demon Soul Refining Array, and when the runes were carved and the Five Elements Banner was erected, the surrounding wind suddenly gusted, making Chen Hengzhi feel numb when he looked at it on the city tower!
"Report, General Qiyu, Wang Tianjun seems to be arranging some kind of formation"
"Report, five ghost corpses suddenly appeared on the battlefield, each riding a ghost fire skeleton horse, and the ordinary rocket pine oil is difficult to hurt in the slightest, general, think of a way!" The scout told Chen Hengzhi the battlefield information over and over again, and Chen Hengzhi said helplessly: "Call the artillery of the Shenji Battalion to come over and bombard him with Shenwu artillery!" ”
A quarter of an hour later......
"Report, General Qiyu, the ghost general is too fast, the cannon misses, and there is a yellow-robed ghost general in the enemy formation who is holding a carved and hundred flowers bow, shooting the artillery of the Shenji battalion, and destroying a Shenwu cannon!"
"What's that?"
Chen Hengzhi immediately couldn't sit still, ran up to the city tower to watch, the Shenwu cannon in the middle of the barrel inserted into a golden wolf arrow, its powerful impact force to the cannon rifling broken, according to the artillery of the Shenji battalion is basically not repaired, looking at the five ghost generals on the battlefield, one is wearing a green robe holding a green dragon sword, one is wearing a yellow robe shoulder anti-gold knife waist across the divine bow, one is wearing white armor and holding a silver spear, one is like a fire, holding a snake spear, and one is in a splendid costume holding a dragon riding spear......
Although I don't know how heroic these five people were, there seems to be some kind of connection between them, just like gold, wood, water, fire and earth, Chen Hengzhi didn't dare to hold it up, he had to know that he was almost killed on the spot in the battle with his grandfather's corpse in Baimaling that day, if it wasn't for Zhao Yan's life for life, the outcome would really be difficult to say, and now the Wang family has taken out five at once, what should he do!?
Just when Chen Hengzhi was stunned, he heard the extremely strong internal force transmission in the distance coming with the yin wind, and only heard Wang Tianjun say: "How about Chen Hengzhi?" The old man's "Five Tigers of the Broken Army" can still be in your eyes? Don't you look down on our royal family? Come down and fight! ”
The five corpses seemed to be in response to Wang Tianjun's call, the five people gathered together, and they hit the city gate with a blow, and then with a bang, the bolt of the city gate was bent a lot, Chen Hengzhi hurriedly asked the soldiers to go down to resist with manpower, and if they continued to play like this, they would basically be broken through the county Xiongguan within five strokes......
Chen Hengzhi: "Damn, you can't let him succeed like this!" And what about artillery? Can't you bombard their Yin Evil Soul Refining Array with Shenwu cannons? ”
"No, general, the range of the cannon is only two miles, not to mention that now it is a headwind, and it can't hit that far at all!"
Perhaps Wang Tianjun was also afraid of the power of the Shenwu cannon, taking advantage of the gap between Chen Hengzhi and the artillery in the observation tower, the yellow-robed ghost would shoot a domineering arrow with a bow, and it was straight to the artillery door!
"Be careful!"
Chen Hengzhi pushed it away, and released the internal force with one hand to try to resolve the power of this domineering arrow, now this artillery is a treasure, if it dies, the Shenwu cannon will basically be useless, but it seems that Chen Hengzhi underestimated the strength of the ghost general, and was forced to be a little unable to support this arrow, in the distance, Wang Tianjun felt that they had fought from the spiritual power, so he began to chant the incantation in his mouth......
