Chao Gai devoured five cakes, and there was not much pork left on the plate, and he picked up the wine bowl and drank and swallowed, and suddenly heard the sound of the horn outside rushing to the sky!

Someone suddenly shouted on the city wall, Chao Gai dropped the wine bowl when he heard the sound, and strode to the outside of the city tower and looked at the western army. But seeing that the shield carts, goose carts, arrow towers, artillery carts, etc., were slowly moving forward under the impetus of countless soldiers of the Western Army, a large number of infantry sergeants also stepped forward in unison, and the sound of trumpets one after another shook the sky!

The Western Army has finally made a move!

The commander of the pro-army was worried about the safety of the commander, so he stepped forward and said, "Recruit and go down to the city." ”

"There's no hurry." Chao Gai waved his hand.

He was not afraid of danger, not to mention that the western army had entered the city from a large camp five or six miles away, and this battle might not really start this afternoon. looked at Zhang Jun next to him, and saw that he was cheering and giving orders, directing his officers and soldiers to make arrangements. For the momentum of the Western Army, he did not feel the slightest fear.

Chao Gai felt very comforted, this person who was picked up by himself performed well on the battlefield, which made him very happy. Of course, Bai Sheng, who was thousands of miles away, was even more happy, he didn't expect that he would also select a talent, and he jumped to the deputy envoy of soldiers and horses in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Jun did not have the slightest fear in his heart at the moment, only excitement and excitement. Captured Luzhou City, he was the first to ascend, bleeding all over his body, five minor and serious wounds, and Jigong was promoted by Chao Gai as the deputy envoy of soldiers and horses. But Zhang Jun was not satisfied at all, and became a deputy envoy, and he still wanted to be a soldier and horse envoy. The current Luzhou soldiers and horses envoy is concurrently served by Luan Tingyu, which can be imagined how tempting this is.

Luan Tingyu obviously won't be in it for long. In this way, the ensuing battle becomes crucial. If he can make more meritorious achievements, then the position of the Luzhou soldier and horse envoy will be within reach for him.

As long as he thought of this, Zhang Jun's whole body burned with fighting spirit, and his ambition turned into a raging karmic fire surrounding him. I only hate that the Western Army will not come to the city soon, how can I still be afraid of fighting.

On the city wall, the soldiers on the faces of the enemy platforms and horses were nervously on guard, and at the crossbows of the beds, the winch men ripped open the bowstrings and put in the arrows like short spears, and the arrows were strung with incendiary bombs the size of a child's skull, and the exterior was covered with rattan shells, and the whole body was soaked in grease.

On the artillery positions inside the city wall, the Liangshan artillery was also in place, just waiting for the observation post at the head of the city to send back information.

These observation sentries are specially trained technical soldiers who can visually measure the speed and direction of the enemy's advance to facilitate the command of artillery vehicles to counterattack. Matching these people is a table, which is called a cannon table in the artillery era of later generations. At this time, Hugh said that ordinary people have no concept of solid geometry in their minds, that is, Lu Qian, who has long forgotten all his mathematical knowledge, can only provide a simple Pythagorean theorem and various equations for circles. No matter how complex the parabolic analysis is, it will be completely forgotten. Therefore, the only thing that Liangshan Cannon can pursue is standardization and standardization.

As much as possible, the performance of the stone cannon is in a uniform state.

Then, a large number of experimental data were used to prove that the standard of artillery shells and counterweights when it was 200 paces away from the target was directly in front of it, and the standard of shells and counterweights when it was 300 paces away from the target; Shells and counterweights at 10 degrees to the left, shells and counterweights at 20 degrees, 30 degrees, and 40 degrees to the left, etc.

Thunderbolt's job is not easy at all. The value of this cannon watch is comparable to ten thousand gold.

In this way, Chao Gai took root on the south gate of the city, and until the sun set, the western army was still five hundred steps away from the urn city in the south of the city.

At such a distance, the Divine Arm Bow and Liang Shanbo are all in vain, and the bed crossbow can be shot, but Chao Gai saw the tall shield carts erected in front of the Western Army in the clairvoyant mirror, and felt that it was better to save some effort.

That night, Chao Gai was on duty at the south gate. Luan Tingyu raised troops in the city to prevent people from being in turmoil. In the Zhongli Rebellion in Haozhou, Han Tao quelled the rebellion very quickly, but a key person in the city was in the city, and the internal and external attacks caused the rebels to be in chaos in an instant, creating a God-sent opportunity for Han Tao.

Of course, such good news is more shocking than the identity of that person, his surname is Shi, his double name is Wenbin, Shi Wenbin.

It turned out to be Shi Wenbin, who was the magistrate of Yuncheng at the beginning.

At the beginning, he was sent far away because of the big incident in Liangshan, and Shi Wenbin never thought that he would be able to return to the Central Plains one day. But Chen Zhenghui's flag-waving and shouting made many officials in Lingnan think about it, and their supervision power was already weak, but it gave many people an opportunity to take advantage of. At least Shi Wenbin is one of them.

Of course, his original intention was not to defect to the Liangshan army. Shi Wenbin is very self-aware, and his identity is very embarrassing. And the Liangshan Army has become a big trend, and there is no need for a small former magistrate to save face. He was not Li Liang at the time, as the first Jinshi Zhixian to serve the Liangshan Army, Li Liang is now the political envoy of Zuobu in Shandong Province. And if he Shi Wenbin was bumped into by Lu Qian, it was possible to be chopped with a knife.

The only one he can go to is Hei Saburo, but unfortunately people don't drink cold water and stuff their teeth, Shi Wenbin just arrived in Huainan, and heard the news that Song Jiang had a serious illness and had gone to work to return to his hometown to raise him, and the king of Natota came to pick him up.

Shi Wenbin had no choice but to settle in Zhongli, under the pseudonym Lin Shan. A few months later, it was the scene in Zhongli City.

Chao Gai was shocked when he heard it, not to mention how shocked he was, when the war came, he asked him to send Shi Wenbin and everyone to Lingnan, but he could still envelop a few men in that kind of brutal place, so that he could make contributions in Zhongli City in one fell swoop, but he only remembered one important point - beware of internal changes.

In this way, Luan Tingyu patrolled the north of the city and the south of the city, and went to the east of the city to visit the west of the city, but he did not dare to be negligent.

Shi Songqing, the commander of the army, was also busy until late at night, and when he was awakened by the shouts from outside the city, he only felt that his eyes had just closed. And the truth is, he has just fallen asleep.

The night is deep, and there is a bright moon hanging in the sky, cruising lonely among the clouds, sprinkling the cool moonlight like water.

At this moment, it is the time when everything is silent, the Song army outside the city is quiet, the defenders inside the city are safe, and only the water is still flowing tirelessly. The moonlight casts on the ice, and the mirror-like reflection of the luster is particularly striking in the dark night. A cold wind hit, cold as a knife.

Suddenly, there was movement in the Song military camp, and the clairvoyant mirror could not make people see clearly the details of a mile or two away through the night. All they could hear was rustling footsteps.

After a while, the "creaking" wheels turned loudly. There was already a fire on the south city wall of Luzhou, Chao Gai stood at the head of the city, looking at the dark night outside the city, although he couldn't see a shadow of a fart, but he could know what the Song army was doing just by listening to the sound.

"Set off fireworks."

After Chao Gai gave the order, his heart was full of admiration for Lu Qian. Using fireworks as flares is a great way to think of them.

Even the Western Army didn't know this trick, because these special flares had just been finalized and then transported from Yidu.

Two sharp 'whoosh' sounds were heard, and two flares pulled out two bright tail marks in the black night sky, flew far away, and then exploded with a bang. It's like a bolt of lightning in the sky, illuminating the boss.

It's just a pity that this bright light didn't create the shadow of the Song Army's equipment, but only made Chao Gai vaguely see the vague outline.

There was no need to give orders again, so the gunner took the initiative to add a paper tube to the flare. A piece of paper tube, containing bundles of gunpowder strips, multi-section distributed gunpowder strips, and secondly, the driving force and endurance generated by the combustion are enough to greatly increase the range of the flares.

This is essentially a big two-kicker.

With that, another flare was fired. Now, with the development of trade between Qilu and Japan, the performance of high-quality natural sulfur called gunpowder has been further developed. Lu Qian had already begun to wake up to the fact that the explosive power of this gunpowder at the beginning was not good, and it was mostly related to the quality of saltpeter and sulfur.

Although the purification of saltpeter and sulfur is still to be studied in the future, it is gratifying that the gunpowder group has finally found a way forward.

The range of this third flare was more than 300 paces away, and at the moment of exploding, countless shield carts and stone cannons pushed by the Western soldiers all leaked.

Although the moment was short-lived, it had already been spotted by the shooters. Swing the mallet and smash it the hanging knife of the bed crossbow. A treadmill arrow with a large ball of burning fire was set out by the bed crossbow.

The sound of the bowstrings vibrating was drowned out by the screeching of the arrows, and the bolts of short spears, as they might be called, streaked through the night and nailed to the heavy front flap of the shield cart.

What follows is a contest between 'lighting the lamp' and 'blowing the lamp'.

The fireball in front of the arrow was enough to cause the Western army to leak its tracks, and their response was to extinguish it immediately.

But the initiative has been firmly grasped by Chao Gai.

When the front end of the Western Army's vehicle group was already within the range of the defender's artillery vehicles, the artillery commander was not in a hurry to fire the artillery, but stabilized! Wait for the distance to get closer, and be sure to inflict more trauma on the enemy. This round goes down, instead of stones, polished and rounded stone bullets are used. The cost of this thing is far more than ten times that of a stone, and it is a hundred or a thousand times that of the frozen mud and water bomb, so it has to be taught to be useful.

Liu Yanqing looked at Luzhou City, and his eyes flashed with solemnity. This Liang thief really surprised him. Chao Gai is very experienced in the use of soldiers, and he tried to lure the defenders out of the city several times to fight, but Chao Gai did not move.

It's just that countless hardwood strung towers were erected above and below the city.

And today, he was ready, and he was finally about to launch an offensive, but he came to this hand. Liu Yanqing thought of those three fireworks, it was really a good idea.

"Why doesn't this Liang thief still have a cannon?" Yao Gu, who had fought with Liang Shanjun several times, was very puzzled. He was deeply impressed by the Liangshan artillery of the Liangshan Army, and he hit far and accurately. The former didn't say it, but only said that this Luzhou City was a battle, if it wasn't for the amazing power of the Liangshan artillery, why did they lose the city?

In that battle, the defenders of Luzhou were still in danger in desperation, and wanted to attack the artillery position of the Liangshan army at night, but as soon as the soldiers and horses touched out of the city, the stone artillery of the Liangshan army was born, and a bag of scattered bombs was shot down to cover the head, so that the Song army that was ready to sneak attack collapsed without a fight.

Yao Gudu was hit on the shoulder with a brick, and half of his body was about to break, and it took a long time to see a good look.

He has a deep memory of the range of the Liangshan artillery, and now the stone cannon of the Western Army will soon enter the predetermined place, and it will soon be able to hit Luzhou, why didn't the other party react at all?

Next to him, Yao Pingzhong, Liu Qi, Fan Qiong and other generals all sat on war horses, paying attention to the upcoming battle. Hearing this, Yao Pingzhong said: "I'm afraid I have to wait for our army to go further." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the generals suddenly saw a fireball behind the city wall of Luzhou. Like two intersecting rains of arrows, they flew up from both sides of the gate tower and landed in front of the tower. What else is there for the battle-hardened generals to not understand, the cannon is poured with fire oil, isn't it like this. The Liangshan army set up stone artillery positions on both sides of the city tower, so that cross-fire could cover the front of the city tower, which was very effective in covering the safety of the urn city.

A slight turn of the direction can cover the corners of the city and the middle of the city wall. It's much better than standing the stone cannons directly behind the city gate tower.

As soon as the drums sounded in this Luzhou city, all the cannons fired in unison, and stone bullets rose into the air, carrying huge kinetic energy and potential energy, whirring and winding, and the sound was impressive.

When you hit the ground, you can feel the ground shaking. Whether it was a shield cart or a gun carriage, the middle was torn apart, and all the pieces of wood flew sideways, and they collapsed immediately.

Most of the round stone balls can roll forward in a hurry, which is also the biggest difference between stone bullets and stones and frozen mud and water bombs.

The former rolls very shortly, and the latter falls apart every time.

And the stone bullet can be like a rolling stone, scratching out all the way, but whenever someone is hit, it will become meat sauce! And if the vehicle is hit, it will be destroyed on the spot.

Such stone bullets are equivalent to drawing a bloody ravine in the sequence of the Song army.

Of course, this kind of casualties are still very insignificant to the Western army as a whole, and now it is in the dark of night, and the soldiers cannot see the bloody and miserable scene, but their endurance increases.

A few torches were lit in the army, and the wounded soldiers were easily searched for and carried down.

Wang De's cheeks twitched violently the next moment, a soldier in front of him, there was no one complete place on his body, his clothes and armor were tied into fishing nets by the flying pieces of wood, the person was obviously unable to be saved, but there was still a breath left, his eyes were looking straight at the stars in the night sky, stretching out his hand, reaching out to touch ......

"Abba, Grandma......" This is a young Qiang man, he made such a sound in his mouth, as if he didn't know that he had fallen into a piece of flesh and blood, but returned to his family, back to his parents and relatives.

The whole person has lost consciousness, and he will not cry out in pain, only that hand is still stubbornly stretched out to the sky......

The cold wind was instantly filled with bloody breath, and Wang De's cheeks twitched.

"Onward, on-"

There were already people in the army shouting loudly. "Extinguish the fire, extinguish the fire......" such shouts also resounded in the ranks.

Yao Gu's black face in the back also turned purple! Seeing the artillery shells on the opposite side coming down one by one, the shield cars and artillery trucks of the front army were shattered one by one, and my heart was anxious!

It's messy! It's messy!

He could clearly feel that the order in the queue ahead was chaotic, and people's hearts were even more chaotic.

"Xiyan, go forward."

Yao Gu did not hesitate to give the order and asked his son to come forward to suppress the front army. There was a certain risk in this, but Yao Pingzhong didn't hesitate at all, and led a group of soldiers forward. By the moonlight, and the faint light of the fire in the ranks.

Far from the rear of the front line, Liu Yanqing, Zhao Ming and other generals were also looking ahead, and the rate of fire of the Liangshan artillery first gave them a great shock. "Sure enough, it is a sharp weapon of the country, and the rate of fire is much faster than that of our army's multi-cannon." Zhao Ming said.

The generals beside him were all silent, and many of the generals of the Western Army who had confronted the Liangshan Army for the first time were shocked! They had long heard that the Liangshan army had a sharp weapon to break the city, but they thought it was a lie and didn't want to see it today.

The counterattack of the Song army also began. After suffering heavy casualties, they also arrived at their destination, set up the stone cannons, and immediately launched a fierce counterattack. However, the accuracy of the multi-shot cannon is much worse than that of the Liangshan artillery. ()
