Liaoyang was called Xiangping and Liaodong City in ancient times, it is the city with the longest history in Liaodong, and its history can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, since ancient times, Liaoyang is the political, economic, cultural center and military town of Liaodong region.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, a nine-sided important town was set up, this Liaoyang is the place where the town of Liaodong is governed, however, the current Liaoyang City is not the original ancient city, but the new city built during the Hongwu period, the width of its four city walls is six miles, and the height has reached the terrifying three zhang, it can be said that the northern frontier and even the entire Ming Dynasty have a number of male cities.

Huang Taiji sits in such a majestic city, and has nearly 200 Hongyi cannons to rely on, so he is naturally full of confidence, and wants to give Zhang Bin a dismount, and even take him down in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that he found the wrong opponent, if other Ming generals led the army to attack the city, he would naturally be killed and laid down, but what he met was Zhang Bin, playing artillery with Zhang Bin, he was looking for death!

A round of artillery bombardment by the Ming army turned his face black, of course, his face was not blackened by gunpowder, but by anger.

How could it be, the Ming army was obviously not close to the trench, how could their shells hit the city walls!

He looked at the bombed city defense facilities with a dark face, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Order, order the artillery to reload the Hongyi cannon, fire back, and all the other city guards hide under the arrow stacks." ”

He still doesn't believe in evil, the Ming army's Hongyi cannon can hit them, why can't their Hongyi cannon bombard the Ming army, at this time they haven't begun to study the impact of the caliber of the artillery and the length of the barrel on the firing range, their Hongyi cannons are all imitations, and the size of the Hongyi cannon made by Hongmao Fan is exactly the same, so he thinks that the Ming army's Hongyi cannon should be the same as theirs.

This can't be blamed for his ignorance, you know, more than 20 years ago, when they didn't have an incident, they were still backward nomadic tribes, at this time, they can build the Hongyi cannon is quite good, and it is a bit unrealistic to expect him to know the principle of the cannon and the key parameters that determine the range.

He, a layman, played artillery with Zhang Bin, an insider, and the result can be imagined, the ammunition on his side has not been loaded, and the artillery on the Ming army's side has fired four rounds in a row, and the city wall has been bombed to the ground, what iron pots, fire racks, and buckets have been bombarded, and the rolling stones and sassals that are neatly piled together have also been blown to the ground, and some of the good Hongyi cannons have been bombarded crookedly, and the gunners who are loading ammunition have suffered heavy casualties.

Huang Taiji's heart is dripping blood, there are not many artillery soldiers under him, and he has lost so much this time, I am afraid that in the future, even if more artillery is made, there will not be enough people to open it!

However, after five rounds of artillery bombardment before and after the Ming army, the ammunition of the Hongyi cannon was finally loaded, and in his hopeful gaze, the artilleryman lit the fuse, and then, "boom, boom", there was a loud bang, and more than 40 shells flew into the sky and flew towards the artillery array of the Ming army.

Unfortunately, all the shells fell near the outermost trench, and the Ming army's artillery position was at least two or three hundred steps away from the trench, that is, their shells really couldn't reach the Ming army.

Seeing this, Huang Taiji's face darkened, how can this be good, if the Ming army is allowed to bombard so endlessly, how can this city be defended?

The offensive and defensive battles in Haizhou City have proved that the ammunition of the Ming army is simply endless, and it seems unrealistic to want to survive until they run out of ammunition and stop shelling, what should I do, he couldn't help frowning and falling into thought.

At this time, Zhang Bin's brows were also furrowed, because he couldn't see the situation on the city wall, and he had been bombarded five times before and after, and he didn't know what the effect was.

He thought about it for a while, and simply ordered: "Zhao Ru, take someone to push a chariot over, and then lift the chariot on top and fix it." ”

The two layers of this high-level chariot pile are two zhang high, and the people on the station are about two zhang six, and the city wall of Liaoyang City is so high, and the situation on the city wall should be able to be seen on the wall.

He just thought about it, but Zhao Ru was tired enough, although the wooden chariot weighed three or four hundred catties, but it was also very difficult to lift the roof of the car with a height of one zhang, he took two small teams of men and horses to work for a while, and it took a lot of effort to finally stack the chariot, and at this time, the artillery of the Qi family army happened to have finished loading the five guns, and was preparing to continue the shelling.

Zhang Bin climbed onto the top of the chariot in a hurry, took out his binoculars and looked, his face also became extremely ugly.

This, it seems that there is still a big difference, he still can't see the situation on the city wall!

What to do, build a high platform?

It's not that this high platform can't be erected, he just needs to give an order, and his soldiers can build a simple high platform of three zhang in less than half a day, the problem is that this is still five or six miles away from the big camp behind, and he can't let people stay here at night, build a high platform here, and at night the Jiannu in the city only need to put someone down and light the fire to burn it, isn't this a blind toss.

After thinking about it, he decided to pile up the chariots, because it didn't take half a day to pile the chariots, and besides, when it was time to retreat in the afternoon, he could hoist the chariots all the way down and push them back.

As a result, almost all of his guards were tossed by him.

He first ordered people to expand the first layer of chariots, using sixteen chariots to build a large platform, and then ordered people to carry four chariots on top of each other to build a small two-story platform, and finally asked people to put a chariot on this small platform, directly piling up a pyramid-like lookout!

Now it's okay, he excitedly climbed onto the roof of the three-story chariot, took out his binoculars and looked at it, and his face immediately bloomed with joy.

Finally, the situation on the opposite city wall, although he couldn't see it clearly because it was too far away, but he could still see the mess on the opposite city wall.

At this time, the Qi family army had already shelled three rounds, and the foot soldiers and artillery soldiers on the city wall had long been hiding behind the arrow stacks and did not dare to come out, what iron pots, fire racks, buckets and other city defense facilities were bombarded to pieces, and what rolling stones and sassal wood were also bombarded everywhere, and the shelling effect was unexpectedly good.

This Huang Taiji really doesn't know how to play artillery, he won't let people put the city defense facilities in a safe place, this artillery he actually placed in a place where the cannonballs can directly bombard, and it is fixed on the battery, he can't move, he can only let others bombard!

He doesn't know what to think, is the artillery playing like this, even if the artillery on his side has the same range as the Hongyi cannon he imitated, he can't swing it like this, if that's the case, he can also order someone to set up the artillery to bombard him, compare the head, he still can't compare to his own side, why can't he think of this.

However, this is a good thing, he didn't expect that he could completely eliminate at a fixed point, and after smashing all the artillery on the city wall to him, and smashing all the artillery to the point that he could not fire, his soldiers could start filling the trenches.

Thinking of this, Zhang Bin excitedly shouted to the guards on the second-floor platform: "Quick, go and build a platform like this for General Qi, let him concentrate his firepower, clear them at fixed points, and smash all the artillery on the city wall without firing!" ”
