Chapter 472: Heavy Artillery
The thirty-two pounds of iron bullet that easily smashed Ai Xing Ah into a rain of flesh and blood, its momentum was still unabated, and it continued to roar towards the east gate tower of Lushun City.
Lucketthun and the surrounding Qing troops clearly saw that this huge black iron bullet, as if it had eyes, roared towards him.
Luckdehun's face turned pale, and he secretly said badly, just like the Qing army next to him, when he subconsciously lowered his waist, he saw that the huge cannonball, with a sharp whistling sound, swept straight above his head, smashed the rain eaves of the East Gate Tower, and then ran away, I don't know where it fell.
Seeing that this heavy artillery was so powerful and powerful, all the Qing troops at the head of the city were shocked and frightened, and their faces were full of panic at this moment.
And the shock and anger in his heart that was drenched by the falling bricks and rotten trees could not be described in words.
Compared with Ai Xing's tragic death, Luck Dehun and the Qing army were even more shocked by the power of the dragon cannon.
Li Xiao who entered the dog! Unexpectedly, his dragon cannon could hit so far, that is, they could carry out long-range attacks outside the range of their own artillery, so that they could only be beaten and could not fight back, which was simply a wretch.
He quickly thought that if these two hundred dragon strike heavy artillery were bombarded together, would his own Arthur City really be able to withstand it?
Lucked suddenly felt that all the preparations he had made before had suddenly become meaningless.
And at this moment, Sun Yanling, the chief officer of the Han army in the city, this tall and ruthless-looking guy, leaned over with a frown and whispered to him: "Lord Belle, the Tang army's artillery is so strong, if we come to bombard, our Lushun city wall......
“
"Of course you can hold it!" Lucked shouted angrily: "This Lushun city wall is very different from three years ago, but the thickness of the city wall has been specially widened, and more horse surfaces have been repaired on each wall, and the ability to resist earthquakes and attacks has been greatly strengthened. You just have to do your best to defend the city with your own officers, and don't disturb the morale of the army. Seeing that Luck Dehun was so sure, Sun Yanling didn't dare to say much, so he could only reply with a sullen yes, and then retreated to the side.
This Sun Yanling is a member of the Red Banner of the Han Army and a general under Kong Youde. And after Kong Youde's death, he married Kong Sizhen, the daughter of Kong Youde, because Kong Sizhen and Emperor Shunzhi hooked up a lot, Sun Yanling borrowed his wife's crotch scenery, and gradually became favored in the court.
Because his wife is sociable, he is also good at doing things himself, so he is very comfortable in the Qing court.
In the fourth year of Kangxi (1665), he began to go out of Guangxi, and was named Shangzhu Guo and Guanglu Doctor by the Qing court.
Who knew that in the twelfth year of Kangxi (1673), Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, raised troops to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, and Kangxi then ordered Sun Yanling to be the general of Fuman, and guarded Guangxi with Ma Xiongzhen, the governor of Guangxi, and conspired to exterminate Wu Sangui's rebels.
However, Sun Yanling, who was the head of the rat, in order to win greater political interests, threw himself to Wu Sangui in the thirteenth year of Kangxi (1674).
It's just that later, seeing that Wu Sangui was difficult to succeed, this two-faced villain was ready to secretly rebel against the water, and sent his wife Kong Sizhen to beg for surrender on his behalf, and after Kangxi approved, Sun Yanling was ready to rebel against Wu and surrender to the Qing Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, Sun Yanling's plan was noticed by Wu Sangui, so he sent him from Sun Wu Shicong to Guilin, planning to kill Sun Yanling and his only son with Kong Sizhen, and also kill the entire family of Ma Xiongzhen, the governor of Guangxi.
This clown, who was very famous in the history of the late Ming Dynasty, finally hung up. And after his death, his wife Kong Sizhen returned to Jingshi.
According to Ye Shi, after Kong Sizhen returned to Beijing, she secretly hooked up with Kangxi again, and she hooked up with two generations of emperors one after another, but she was also a strange woman.
Speaking of which, the author is also sighing, what "The Legend of Zhen Huan", "The Legend of Ruyi" and other pure fictional Qing palace stories made up by rotten girls can be broadcast like this, if "The Legend of Sizhen" can be filmed with two generations of emperors like father and son, how applaudable and popular it would be.
If you have to reduce the investment, for example, ask a famous Hong Kong director surnamed Wang to remake a ***** such as "The Story of the Two Emperors in the Early Qing Dynasty", which will definitely sell well at home and abroad, which is fascinating.
At this time, Sun Yanling, when his master Gongshun Wang Kong Youde led all his subordinates to attack Jinzhou with Huang Taiji, he was ordered by the Qing court to bring his own 2,000 Han troops to Lushun City to help defend the city.
Originally, he was full of hope that he could follow his future father-in-law and make a good fortune, but when he heard this order, he suddenly felt like a deflated ball.
It's just that Sun Yanling certainly didn't have the courage to resist the order, and after receiving the will of the Qing court, he could only obediently take his 2,000 soldiers and go to Jinzhou all the way to Jinzhou.
Because Sun Yanling has just arrived, and his identity is the surrendered Han Nikan, so Lucked and Aixing Ah are not waiting to see him, and his subordinates have been arranged to patrol and explore outside Lushun City, which can be regarded as a dispensable existence.
For these Manchu clans and magnates to despise him like this, Sun Yanling was furious in his heart, but he had no choice but to obediently obey his fate.
It's just that because the Tang army suddenly attacked, Sun Yanling was urgently summoned from outside the city to help defend the city.
Three years ago, when the Tang army raided Lushun last time, Xu Erxian, the general of the Han army, secretly opened the west gate of Lushun and let the Tang army into it in order to save his life and wealth, so that the main general Wanyan Yechen suffered from the enemy, and finally the whole army was destroyed and Lushun was occupied.
This incident made Luckd deeply alarmed. Therefore, this time, he ordered that all the 2,000 Han troops of Sun Yanling's department be mixed with 1,000 Manchurian soldiers, all of whom should be stationed at the east gate and directly under his own control.
Luckedhun hopes that in this way, he can secretly control them and prevent these shameless Han dogs, when the situation is urgent, betray the Qing Dynasty and take the lives of all the defenders to ask the Tang army for merit and reward.
Sun Yanling was very dissatisfied with Luck Beihun's arrangement, but he had to obey his orders respectfully.
Of course, he knew that his 2,000 soldiers and horses wanted to fight against as many as 8,000 Manchu and Mongolian soldiers in the city, and he would simply bring about his own destruction.
If you don't have enough strength, you can only be a dog. Therefore, when he saw that Ai Xing, the deputy general of Lushun City, was tied to the muzzle of the cannon by the Tang Army and blown away, he did not have the slightest sympathy or regret for this person in his heart, but had an indescribable pleasure.
Hmph, it's fucking cool to shoot the living! You Tartars, all of you who look like bulls, how can you also be defeated under the Tang Army, and the deputy general of Lushun City, who loves Xing'a, has been killed by the Tang Army, and what is there to brag about in front of our Han Army.
It's just that Sun Yanling, who was standing in the East Gate Tower with a gloomy face, looked at the Tang army formation in the distance, straight as a straight line, and 200 huge silver-gray stainless steel cannons in the twilight, his face gradually turned pale.
The originally relaxed and slightly happy mood suddenly tightened again. He saw that these Tang Army artillery pieces were so huge in size and caliber, but they were much larger than the largest Hongyi cannon he had ever seen before.
He immediately thought in fear in his heart that these Tang Army artillery were so majestic and huge, and their true power was probably much stronger than the most powerful Hongyi artillery he had ever seen before.
If so, wasn't it wrong from the beginning to defend the city? An unprecedented panic surged uncontrollably from Sun Yanling's heart, making him irritable and uncontrollable, but helpless.
When Sun Yanling on the tower of the city gate was thinking nonsense, the dragon cannon that bombarded Ai Xing'a had slowly retreated into the Tang army's artillery array, and at this time, the 200 heavy dragon guns of the Tang army in a straight row began to have a new movement.
Sun Yanling saw that these Tang Army gunners, under the afterglow like blood, began to be extremely skillful, filling the fixed gunpowder on the spot, measuring the spacing with a gun gauge, and adjusting the angle of fire.
Seeing Tang Jun acting like this, Luck Dehun and Sun Yanling were extremely nervous in their hearts. Both of them understood that the battle plan they had just made might be completely wrong.
Because, they all thought that these Tang troops did not have enough siege equipment because they came in a hurry, so they could not launch an attack immediately.
Obviously, in the eyes of Luck Dehun and Sun Yanling, the longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it will only be to themselves.
If you have a night's time, you can deploy defenses more calmly, and you can also grab young people from the city to defend the city, and even set troops to plunder the people in the city, and the Han women in the city to improve morale.
Unexpectedly, when the sun had not set, the Tang army seized the time to start attacking the city, and the rapid action of the Tang army made it too late to implement this cruel and ferocious plan of Luckedhun.
At this time, they heard faint shouts from a distance in the Tang army's formation.
"Ready!"
"Put!" With a shout from a person who looked like an officer, 70 steel dragon bombers with huge calibers immediately fired in unison.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!" 。。。。。。 In the continuous huge cannon sound that shattered the eardrums, the muzzles of the 200 heavy dragon bombers immediately floated crimson afterburners, flashing with dazzling golden fire, and in the dense billowing white smoke, 200 huge black iron bullets weighing 32 pounds, with the whistle of death, slammed into the eastern wall of Lushun City.
In the dull and heavy sound of huge impact, these 200 jet-black 32-pound iron bullets, as if they had eyes, hit the entire eastern city wall fiercely in an evenly distributed state.
Nearly 200 big holes appeared on the east wall of the entire Lushun City in an instant, and at the edge of each big hole, the thick and cracked lines were as dense as spider webs, and they spread unscrupulously to the siege, and the bricks of the city wall were splashed and cracked, and a piece of dust and mist was filled, and the entire east city wall was trembling violently as if it had asthma.
On the city wall, a large number of Qing soldiers who were shocked to the ears, eyes, nostrils and mouths bleeding together, everyone was shocked to the blood surged, and the eyes were shrouded in the dust and fog that choked their noses, and the city wall under their feet shook violently like a pendulum, and nearly 100 Qing soldiers who stood unsteadily on their feet fell from the city wall screaming like broken leaves blown by the wind, and then fell into meat pies.
The Tang army's fierce heavy artillery salvo this time actually caused the eastern city wall of Arthur City to fall into a lot of chaos in an instant.
A large number of Qing soldiers who were shocked to the point of bleeding from their mouths and noses, and their faces were covered with dust, they screamed in horror, turned around and fled from the road of the city wall.
"Don't run! Come back to Lao Tzu and continue to defend the city wall! Those who violate military orders will be killed! "Hit by the surging waves of sand and dust, the dusty and hair-scattered Luckdehun looked as if he had just come out of the desert, and he looked extremely embarrassed.
He coughed violently, stood up against the battlements of the city wall, and roared at the fleeing Qing troops.
It was only in this confusion, although he shouted hoarsely, but it had little effect, and a Han soldier who had been deaf in both ears was shocked and ran past Lucked with a wail, completely ignoring the warning of the supreme commander of the Qing army.
"Damn Han dog, what are you panicking about?!" Lucked was so angry and angry that he drew his sharp sword from the ground, shouted angrily, and stabbed the fleeing guy from the back to the chest, and stabbed the fleeing Han infantryman, whose body shook and fell to the ground.
Sun Yanling, who also had ashes on his head and face, saw that his soldiers were stabbed and killed on the spot by Luckdehun, so he could only dare to be angry but not speak.
Finally, after Luckedhun and his guards slashed and killed seven or eight people one after another, these beaten Qing troops re-stabilized, the escapees returned to their posts in fear, and the situation on the entire eastern city wall was slightly stabilized.
At this time, the gunners of the Tang Army, who had just finished the first round of salvo fire, were already clearing, charging, and reloading ammunition in preparation for the next round of shooting.
Luckard gritted his teeth, but Sun Yanling turned pale with a pale face. The commander of the Tang Army's artillery, the red flag in his hand, was raised high again. "Ready!
"Put!
“
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!" 。。。。。。 Another 200 jet-black 32-pound iron bullets roared, and in the deafening sound of cannons, the broken bricks on the city wall flew like rain, and the choking dust and mist flew up all over the sky.
The entire eastern wall was covered with dense cobweb cracks, and the damage to the entire wall reached a shocking level, like a dying patient.
All the defending Qing troops, including Luck Dehun, felt that the city wall under their feet was shaking back and forth more violently, and as many as hundreds of Qing soldiers who had no time to lie down or hold on to it fell from the city wall screaming.
A large number of collapsed pheasant moats were also shaken down from under the city wall, falling apart, these quakes were smashed down from such a high position, and immediately scattered into fragments, burying those Qing troops who were shaken down, whether dead or alive.
And all kinds of artillery placed on the city, like toys that have been shaken away, are thrown around, and they fall off the city walls, and then they fall into a pile of scrap copper and iron on the ground.
Under the heavy bombardment of the Tang army's heavy dragon artillery, the so-called fortified city walls of the Qing army did not show any stronger state than before.
The only advantage is that because the Qing army strengthened the design of the horse face of the city wall, making the wall more three-dimensional, it did not collapse easily.
After being hit hard for the second time, the Qing defenders suddenly fell into a greater degree of chaos. Under such a fierce and violent force, in the face of such an absolute death that no manpower could resist at all, all the Qing troops on the eastern city wall, who had been fighting for a long time, were also seriously damaged in confidence, and the morale that was not high in the first place suddenly dropped to the level of almost impossible.
There was no need for mobilization at all, and I don't know who shouted, and many of the guys who had already been frightened immediately lost their posts, howled and rushed down the city wall and road, and fled frantically for their lives.
When the furious Le Dek Hun was about to kill again, Sun Yanling on the side rushed over in a panic and shouted at him: "Lord Belle, this city wall can't be defended!" ”
