Chapter 357: A Great Victory

Han Dong and Zu Kefa led more than 100 cavalry under their command to the east of the Houjin camp and traveled all the way east along the road that Houjin took when he retreated.

Along the way, they carefully observed the traces and checked the dryness and wetness of the horse manure until they entered the boundary of Houjin Xiping Fort, and only returned to their military camp for fear of being besieged by Houjin soldiers.

Zu Kefa and Han Dong saw Zu Dashou, so they said: "Marshal, the last general and others have traveled all the way east, and it has been checked clearly, and the Jiannu army has indeed retreated. ”

It was only at this time that Zu Dashou was completely convinced that the Jiannu army had all retreated.

At this time, two hours had passed since the Ming army sent troops from Dalinghe City, and it was not until this stage that he confirmed that the Houjin army had indeed retreated, and the battle had been completely won.

It was only at this time that Zu Dashou looked around and shouted: "Jiannu has been repelled by our army and fled back to their hometown, our army has won a complete victory in this battle, and Dalinghe City has also been preserved, sons, we have won." ”

Zu Dashou's voice fluttered over the heads of the Ming army, spreading into the distance.

When a group of Ming officers and soldiers heard this, they were silent for about a second or two before they burst into earth-shattering cheers.

The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty all took off the helmets they were wearing on their heads, threw them into the air, and shouted: "We have won Jiannu, we have won." ”

"Long live the Ming Dynasty."

"God bless the Ming."

Zhang Chun, Song Wei and Wu Xiang were only deeply relieved at this time, and their faces immediately bloomed with gorgeous smiles.

"Mr. Zu, since this battle has been fought, we have also won a big victory, and then we have to write a good report, write an excerpt for merit, this matter, according to the rules, we will write our own, what do you think?" Zhang Chun said to Zu Dashou with a smile.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, let's go back to Dalinghe City first, and this matter can be done slowly. Do you remember that General Liu said that he would bombard the city wall with artillery? Let's take a look at this excitement first, how about it? Zu Dashou smiled.

"Well, how can you not look at such a strange thing. Let's go. Zhang Chun smiled and readily agreed.

"The class teacher returns to the army." Zu Dashou ordered loudly.

"Yes."

When the Ming army got the order, they followed Zu Dashou together, majestic and high-spirited, and returned to Dalinghe City.

Before the brigade returned to Dalinghe City, the news that the Ming army had won a complete victory reached the city, and the officers and soldiers who stayed in the city were naturally rejoicing, and all went out of the city to meet the army.

Liu Tianlu, who was ordered to stay in the city, stood outside the city, waiting to welcome his army, and according to Zu Dashou's arrangement, he transferred a Hongyi cannon from the city and placed it in front of the city wall.

After a short time, Zu Dashou, He Kegang, Zhang Chun, Song Wei, Wu Xiang and Liu Renyu all returned to the outside of Dalinghe City with their men.

When they returned to Dalinghe City, in addition to seeing their own robes welcomed outside Dalinghe City, there was also a huge Hongyi cannon.

"General Liu, you said earlier that the reinforced concrete city wall can withstand artillery bombardment, but is it?" Zu Dashou asked.

"Exactly." Liu Renyu said firmly.

"The town is really bombarded with artillery." Zu Dashou said with a smile.

"The handsome man just opened the artillery bombardment, today Zhang Bingbei, Song Zongzhen and Wu Zongzhen are here, just to see with your own eyes how the steel and cement of the last general is." Liu Renyu is extremely confident.

"Okay, then let's see together whether this reinforced concrete city wall is really impregnable." Zu Dashou smiled slightly, and then ordered: "Open the cannon and bombard the city wall." ”

As soon as Zu Dashou's order was issued, all the Ming officers and soldiers naturally stretched their necks to see the excitement that they might not be able to see in their lifetime, while the Ming army on the city wall facing the cannon hurriedly ran away.

The artillery bombardment of the city wall is no joke, if the cannon collapses the city wall, the officers and soldiers fighting on the city wall will definitely be unlucky, so they hide aside, hide in a safe place and continue to watch the excitement.

"General Liu, this town has given the order to open fire." Zu Dashou confirmed again.

"Marshal, let's get started." Liu Renyu replied confidently.

"Okay, open fire and shell the walls." Zu Dashou waved his hand and ordered the bombardment of the city wall.

As soon as Zu Dashou's order was issued, tens of thousands of people were silent in the blink of an eye, and everyone held their breath and stared at the cannon, waiting for an earth-shattering loud bang, and then seeing if the city wall was still safe!

The Ming army didn't wait long.

With a loud bang, a huge iron projectile hit the city wall directly at a distance of twenty paces, if it was an ordinary city wall, if it was an ordinary city wall, if it suffered such a heavy blow, it would not collapse immediately, at least it would be hit by the masonry flying sideways, breaking a big hole.

But the reality is that the strong force of the spherical iron projectile is absorbed by the steel bars in the cement and dispersed, and the projectile itself is ejected, and there is not much damage on the city wall except for some white marks.

Oh my God, this is a real wall!

Shock, written on the faces of everyone at the scene, all could barely believe their eyes.

This city wall is so fucking strong that even the Hongyi cannon can't help it.

Zu Dashou was worried that his artillery would go down with one shot, and the city wall would really collapse, Liu Renyu's face must not look good, so he was still a little worried, and when he saw the defensive effect of the reinforced concrete city wall that was so strong that it was against the sky, he immediately said to Liu Renyu with great admiration: "What General Liu said is really true, this city wall is really useful." ”

"General Liu, although Jiannu has cannons, as long as you use your reinforced concrete method to build the city wall, you don't have to be afraid of cannons." Zhang Chun also said to Liu Renyu with great admiration.

"It seems that our city walls need to be reinforced with this reinforced concrete method." Song Wei said in a low voice.

"Let's fix Jinzhou first." Wu Xiang hurriedly echoed.

"General Liu, the Hongyi cannon has also opened our eyes, let's go back and write a report excerpt." Zu Dashou felt that it was enough to shoot a shot, and all the Ming troops also saw the power of the reinforced concrete city wall, and they also opened their eyes.

But Liu Renyu didn't agree to do this, and he was still unsatisfied.

"Marshal, the enemy is bombarding the city wall, it is impossible to fire only one cannon, please fire a few more cannons, and see how many cannons the reinforced concrete of the last general can withstand?" Liu Renyufu pleaded again.

"General Liu, if it is broken, you will have to repair it." Zu Dashou said with a smile.

"It's nature." Liu Renyu nodded in response.

"Ten more shots and bombardment the city walls." Zu Dashou shouted loudly.

"Wow!"

A group of Ming officers and soldiers exclaimed in unison.

The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, who did not know the solidity of the reinforced concrete, were sweating for the city wall, but the officers and soldiers of the Jingbian Fort Army always had a confident smile on their faces, and they were sure that the city wall would never collapse.

Practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

The artillery of the Liao army got Zu Dashou's order, and they fired ten cannons in succession regardless of it.

When the Hongyi cannon was fired, the momentum was shaking the ground and the mountains, and the wind and clouds were changing, but what made all the Ming officers and soldiers present unbelievable was that under the firing of such powerful cannons, the reinforced concrete city wall did not have much damage, let alone collapse, and there was not even a hole.

At this time, except for the officers and soldiers of the Jingbianbao Army, the jaws of the rest of the Ming soldiers all fell to the ground.

This time they really opened their eyes.
