…… I'm looking forward to your immortal feats!

…… The fathers and elders of my hometown look forward to you creating a beautiful life for them that will be peaceful forever!

…… The fathers and fathers of heaven also look forward to you avenging their shame!

After today, as long as you tell others that you have liberated Liaoshen, people will definitely say:

Yes! What a hero!

In the fifth Chinese New Year's Eve year of Longdao, under the city of Liaoyang, Sun Sheng, the commander of the Second Route Army and the Shangshu Gong of the Qi State Military Department, stood on a temporary podium made of ammunition boxes, with his back to the curious eyes of countless Tartars on Liaoyang City, facing the Qi army and a row of loudspeakers in a strict array, and read out Xu Shiyang's letter to the front-line soldiers aloud to the whole army - but also to the Tartar defenders.

When the last word in Xu Shiyang's letter was still floating in mid-air, Qi Jun, who had been quiet when he heard the letter just now, suddenly erupted into a volcanic eruption-like roar:

"Hooray!"

"Long live Daqi!!"

"Long live His Royal Highness!!

Nearly 100,000 soldiers of the Second Route Army cheered at the same time, and it began to snow again on this day, but the cold weather was ignited by the excitement of the soldiers of the Qi army, as if the entire Liaoyang City was trembling slightly in this earth-shattering cheer.

Military Heart is available.

"Siege!"

Gongsun Sheng shouted at the horn:

"Today, I want to sacrifice Liaoyang City to the ancestors of Huaxia!"

……

"Get out of town and fight back!"

Zhou Ning anxiously yelled in Wanyan Zongbi's ear:

"You can't just wait to be shot! Let them test shoot casually, find the benchmark and we're done! This wall can't stop anything! ”

"There are at least 100,000 troops down there!"

After Yan Zongbi roared back:

"Lao Tzu only has 6,000 armor soldiers! The field battle is not enough to fill the artillery array! ”

"How can you spare human life at this time? If you don't fight back, it's not a problem of 6,000 armor soldiers! ”

Zhou Ning shouted with red eyes:

"Lao Tzu can't fall into the hands of Xu Shiyang and be humiliated! If you're afraid of the dead, I'm not afraid! ”

"Attack from the east gate, there is no heavy artillery over there, the pressure is lighter, I will take the heavy troops to the front, you take the armored cavalry to follow, and break through the defense line of the Qi army and detour to the south gate!"

"As long as we can take out those cannons, we still have a chance! Otherwise, I won't be able to get over today! ”

Wanyan Zongbi looked at Zhou Ning, gritted his teeth and didn't speak, making this traitor so anxious that he jumped to his feet.

"What are you hesitating about? Waiting to die? I've built so many gun carriages, and that's when I use them, I have to try them! ”

The Jin Army's focus on developing shotguns with a low technical level was Zhou Ning's idea. The advantage of this was that the light artillery could more easily keep up with the movements of the large army, which was very useful against the Mughal light cavalry.

The disadvantage is that these guns do not have counter-battery capabilities, and if the enemy also has artillery - such as the Qi army under the city now, the opponent can use the range advantage to slowly cut the Jin army.

In order to compensate for this shortcoming, Zhou Ning combined the shield cart commonly used by the Jin army with a lighter shotgun to form a new type of gun carriage.

The gun carriage front shield consisted of two layers of wooden planks six inches thick each, with soaked earth sandwiched between them.

This thickness is twice the thickness of the shield car guards most commonly used by the Jin army in the past, so Zhou Ning guessed that they can withstand the most common 4 catties of artillery shells in the Qi army, and it is estimated that they can also withstand 8 catties of shells at a long distance (no live ammunition experiments have been done).

Moreover, the gun carriage as a whole is two feet lower, and although the person pushing the cart must bend down to protect himself, it also reduces the area of the bullet, making it more difficult for the gun carriage to be hit.

There is a square opening in the middle of the shield, and a tiger squat cannon is directly mounted on the chassis of the shield car, Zhou Ning's idea is: this kind of gun car uses strong protection to cover the tiger squat cannon to the effective firing distance, and then fires shotguns to destroy the Qi army field artillery.

The biggest flaw of this new shield car and artillery combination is that it is too heavy, it requires much more manpower to propel it than the previous "light" shield cars, and there is no shock absorption, and the chassis carries a much heavier superstructure than before, which is somewhat fragile.

However, this is already the best way that Jin Jun can think of under the existing technical conditions.

Rumble!

There was a bang under the city, the first test shot of the Qi army with the cannonball flew out of the barrel, the 8-pound iron ball smashed directly into the moat, bounced up and fell on the frozen river surface, after jumping continuously, the kinetic energy was exhausted, and slowly rolled to the root of the Liaoyang city wall.

"They're attacking!" Zhou Ning's eyes widened angrily: "If you hesitate, you won't have a chance!" ”

Wanyan Zongbi looked at the menacing Qi army under the city, and finally made up his mind:

"Baddie! You take the armor soldiers of the headquarters and follow Zhou Ning to attack! ”

"Huh!"

A young Jurchen general took the order and turned to leave the tower.

Zhou Ning won the opportunity to attack, and he didn't say anything more, he simply arched his hand towards Yan Zongbi, and turned his head to gather the soldiers and horses of his headquarters.

Wanyan Zongbi looked at their departing backs, his hands clenched into fists.

He could only secretly pray now that before he was turned into powder by the Qi army, Zhou Ning and Wanyan Xiaodie would be able to create a miracle and make a breakthrough against the Qi army under the city.

However, what he didn't know was that as soon as he got out of the city, Zhou Ning found the Jurchen Meng'an Jiagu Hura, who was in charge of supervising the battle in the Aha heavy army, and said to him bluntly:

"Liaoyang can't hold it, I plan to lead the army to break through."

Jiagu Hu Ra looked at him with wolf-like eyes, but he did not carry out his duty of supervising the army and pulled out his knife to cut him, but quietly waited for Zhou Ning to explain.

"There are 100,000 Qi troops under the city and hundreds of cannons, even if my shield artillery truck can be exchanged for one, it will definitely not be able to replace the Qi army."

When Zhou Ning served in the Qi Army's artillery team, he learned many useful things, one of which was to quickly distinguish the battle situation - Qi Army officers learned this mainly to find opportunities to defeat the enemy, and Zhou Ning used this skill to decide when to escape.

"But I think that if we cooperate with each other, we should be able to find a way to open a gap, and then let Wanyan Xiaodie go to the south of the city to die, let's take our cronies and run north for a while, and then turn west, and go to the territory of the Muguls to find a way to survive."

"You're on the run! Lao Tzu can cut you now! Jiagu Hu Ra said viciously: "Lao Tzu is not going to be a slave to the Mughus!" ”

"Is it okay not to be a slave to the Mughals?" Zhou Ning sneered: "That's right, I don't want to take refuge in Zamuhe's waste, let's go directly across the grassland, or go south to the Great Zhou, or continue to go west to the Western Regions, where the land is vast and sparsely populated, we may be able to lay down our own country!" ”

"Anyway, I will never give Jin Guo a funeral! What about you? Do you really want to fight to the death? ”

Zhou Ning took refuge in Jin Guo in order to oppose Xu Shiyang, not because he had any special feelings for the Jurchens, so there was no psychological burden to abandon Jin Guo at this time.

He thought that there should be at least a thousand soldiers willing to follow him among the Aha heavy troops in Liaoyang, and if he could persuade Jiagu Hura to take another thousand Jurchen armor soldiers with him, then they would have something to do whether they went to the Great Zhou or the Western Regions.

Moreover, it is not difficult to convince Jiagu Hura, because this person is not Wanyan Jurchen, in the final analysis, he is also a slave of the Wanyan family, and now he has the opportunity to create a career for himself, and smart people know how to choose.
