Chapter 1346: The enemy's firearms are also very powerful
"Wai Sanque one?" Fu invited the military camp outside the city, his face was gloomy, although he had been prepared before, but when it really happened, it still made Fu Xuan's face heavy, he only had 20,000 horses, and he couldn't cope with the situation in front of him at all.
"I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for much longer." Xu Qing said in a low voice. His voice didn't dare to be louder, there was still the Yue family army nearby, if these soldiers felt the fear of the general, then don't fight this Chen Zheng, just open the city gate and escape.
"Although it's a siege, I just don't know if there are people in ambush in the south?" Fu Xun. Although it is dangerous to surround the three queyi, the real danger is that after escaping, if the enemy has an ambush in front of him and pursuers behind him, it is the most dangerous.
"Probably not, they did this in order to break through Jiankang City before Li Jing came to Jiankang, and annex the entire Jiangnan with Jiankang City as the center." Fu Xun said: "They just want to drive us out of Jiankang City, but even so, we don't dare to give up Jiankang City easily." โ
What is the place of Jiankang City, it is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, and it is also the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, yes, it is the capital. Whether it is Lin'an, or Xiangyang, whether it is Zhao Huan, or Zhao Gou, they will not call Lin'an or Xiangyang the capital, but can only be called Xingzai. In the eyes of many literati in the Southern Song Dynasty, there were only two capitals in the Southern Song Dynasty, one was Bianjing and the other was Jiankang. One is determined by Zhao Kuangyin, and the other is too important, whether it is Lin'an or Hangzhou, it is the responsibility of a Beijing teacher, and only Jiankang can. Fu Xuan can't always lose the responsibility of Jiankang.
"Only five thousand people at each gate? Will it work? "Xu Qingyu. Although the other party only blocked the three city gates, Fu Xuan did not dare to let the other city gate be empty like this, the other party had many soldiers and horses, if a part of it was transferred and suddenly attacked the other city gate, how could it be done, so knowing that the other party left a gap, they could only block that gap, this is the disadvantage of few soldiers, and even they did not even prepare a reserve.
"Rely on personnel, let it be the fate of heaven!" Fu Ya sighed. Before this, he was still confident that he would stay in Kangcheng for ten days, but now he didn't even dare to guarantee three days, who knew that Wu Jue would use such a shameless method to bully you with few soldiers in an open and honest manner, so that Fu Xuan was helpless.
Xu Qing also nodded, and was about to speak, when suddenly there was a sound of war drums in the distance, the two glanced at each other, the Tang army attacked, they didn't expect the Tang army to be so impatient, the army had just separated from the camp, so they had to take a break! Unexpectedly, he launched an attack at this time, and he clearly didn't want to let himself rest and prepare.
"It shows that the enemy wants to take down our ambitions< prepare a musket.9 I don't know when the enemy captured Jiankang, these things have to be used." Fu Ya said quietly.
The assault rifle is a weapon researched and invented by the Song Army recently, but it is different from the firearms of the Tang Dynasty, it is a huge bamboo barrel for the body of the gun, which is filled with gunpowder and iron pellets, and after igniting the gunpowder, the iron pellets are urged to achieve the purpose of injuring people. The Tang Dynasty used firearms to deter the Quartet, whether it was Zhao Huan or Zhao Gou, after getting this situation, they also studied firearms, but in the end, they did not have such a huge foundation as the extensive siege of the city, and there was not enough theory and sufficient time, and the thing made was this kind of assault gun.
The simple thing is that the raw materials are very simple, and I don't know how many bamboo tubes there are in Jiangnan, and gunpowder has long been applied to the military. Although the bamboo tube is easy to break, it is simply easy to make. Datang didn't seem to notice this.
Under the city, countless soldiers flocked to the city wall and killed them, and various siege methods were used one after another, such as ladders, siege vehicles, return cannons and other weapons.
Wu Jue, Han Shizhong, and Wu Ling commanded the army, looking at the brand-new city wall in front of them, there was no surprise on their facesโ the reality of the wall had actually been heard clearly by the secret guards, and it was not as strong as imagined. Therefore, they believe that under the Tang Dynasty's troops, no matter how strong the enemy is, there is no way to compare with the Tang army, and at most in a few days, Jiankang City can be solved.
"Boom!" At this time, a loud noise came from the battlefield, and I saw a burst of smoke rising from the city wall, and a pungent smell soon enveloped the sky, and the screams under the city were repeated, and the battlefield was in chaos.
"What's going on? What is this sound? Wu Ling and the others' faces changed, they were very familiar with this kind of sound, and they were also familiar with this smell, but if it appeared in the hands of the enemy on the opposite side, it would be different, Wu Ling couldn't help but urge him to step forward.
The chaos on the battlefield soon stopped, and the elite of Datang was reflected at this time, countless medical soldiers appeared on the battlefield, risking to carry the wounded soldiers over, Wu Jue's face was bruised, and he saw that the soldiers in his hands were like countless pockmarks, and the wounds the size of soybeans were all over the wounded soldiers, and even their faces were beaten into a hornet's nest.
The soldier was not killed as a cupboard, but he was seriously injured, and he looked extremely terrifying, which made people shudder, even Wu Jue showed a look of horror, if this was hit on himself, what should he do. The Song army used to have firearms, which everyone knows, such as poisonous smoke balls, artillery and quinoa fireballs, etc., which have been widely used in the military, but this kind of assault rifle for close combat is the first time it has been used, and it has brought a big meal to the Tang army as soon as it comes up.
"What do the Dark Guard eat? How come you don't even know about this new weapon? Han Shizhong couldn't help but roar loudly. As soon as you look at this weapon, you know that it has just been developed, but the so-called omnipotent secret guard didn't notice it, and as soon as it came up, it caused countless losses to the army, which made people dissatisfied.
"What the reason is, I won't know until I hit it. It's too late to say this, isn't it just firearms? Do we have fewer firearms? Wu Jue's face was gloomy, and he waved his hand, he didn't know how many firearms the other party had now, how many times he could attack, and he was afraid that the loss would be even worse if he attacked rashly.
"Boom!" A loud noise came, and the three of them looked towards the city wall, but saw that something suddenly fell on the city wall, Wu Jue quickly took a clairvoyant mirror and looked over, and what came into his eyes was a hideous face, with blood holes on his face, which looked very ugly, but Wu Jue did not notice the tragic state of the person, but saw the falling objects.
"Bamboo?" Wu Jue exclaimed, he thought of something. He remembered that not long ago, the secret guard had sent a piece of information that there were a lot of large bamboos hidden in Jiankang City, and he thought it was for building the city wall, but now it seems that this is not the case.
