Looking at Puzhou City, which was shrouded in a thick cloud of luck, Lu Qian's face showed a hint of impatience.

It has been two or three years since the rise of Liangshanbo, but the real siege experience is quite simple, when it broke He Guan in Fan County, it was just a small county town, far less solid than the Gundam from Puzhou City. And that battle was the first appearance of Liangshan Artillery, and the horror to the Song army was especially great. Unlike Puzhou at present, Lu Qian believed that the Song army in the city must have known about the rumors of the Liangshan cannon, and even some of the people in it had tasted the taste of the Liangshan cannon, such as Liu Guangshi and Guan Sheng.

That is a certain psychological preparation, and the deterrent effect has decreased a lot. Not to mention that Liu Zhongwu also learned from Jeju and set up a string of buildings on the sheep and horse wall, and he learned quickly.

Such a well-prepared, but not very strong opponent is a good opponent to practice.

The Liangshan cannon also happens to be useful.

In these days, after Ling Zhen's many times of the system, Liangshan Bo has made some progress in the early performance. is not much better than the performance of the return cannon he saw on the Internet in his previous life.

The return cannon can shoot 150 catties of stone bullets with a range of up to 400 meters, and Liang Shanbo can also shoot 150 catties of stone bullets, with a range of more than 100 zhang.

The return artillery in history has been used in every battle.

In November of the ninth year of the Mongol Dynasty (1272), Alao Wading and Yismain made a return cannon. In the first month of the tenth year of the Yuan Dynasty (1273), he attacked Fancheng with back artillery and won in one fell swoop. Then, the Yuan army moved its artillery to Xiangyang. Based on his careful observation of the terrain, Yismain placed a huge cannon in the southeast corner of Xiangyang City. "The machine is launched, the sound shocks the heavens and the earth, and all the hits are destroyed, and they sink seven feet into the ground." The Song general Lu Wenhuan, who had been defending Xiangyang for seven years, knew that he was invincible, so he accepted the city and returned to the Yuan army. And only three years later, the Mongols entered the city of Hangzhou.

That Lu Wenhuan was exhausted because he had been fighting for seven years, and the return cannon was just the last straw that broke the camel's back. If it had been changed to the time when the war had just begun, Xiangyang would not have fallen like this. So what about Puzhou City in front of you?

Thinking of this, Lu Qian couldn't help but look at his Liangshan cannon. This Liangshan cannon is not inferior to the return artillery, but I don't know how the quality of this Puzhou city is compared to Xiangyang, which was exhausted back then.

That night, in the tent of the Chinese army, Lu Qian summoned the head of the spy department buried in Puzhou.

"How many defenders are there in Puzhou?" Lu Qian wanted to know the exact number of people.

The latter said carefully: "Governor, there should be more than 10,000 soldiers in the city!" "But definitely not much. In the dark of night, the Song army that escaped the subsequent pursuit of the Liangshan army to the west may have been no less than 10,000 people, but only 5,000 or 6,000 people could escape into Puzhou.

Lu Qian's brows furrowed. The figure was not what he expected. "And what about the people in the city?" This seems to be more important. The Song army in Puzhou City was weak, and its combat strength was even weaker.

"The people in the city are terrified, and according to the Flying Pigeon Letter, there are bloody cases every night." Under such circumstances, it will be even more difficult for the government to recruit and mobilize people's resources. Everyone was afraid that he would be requisitioned, and when he looked back, he was lucky not to die on the city wall, but his parents and children were killed by gangsters. "The new magistrate in the city still has a little conscience. In the bloody cases where several families were destroyed, he paid for the corpses of the bitter lord to be reined in. ”

This person had a look of approval, obviously very fond of the new magistrate.

Lu Qian also thinks it's good, this county is quite hearted. "What is this man's name?"

"Back to the Metropolitan Governor, this person's surname is Qin Mingjuni, and he is from Jiangning. In the fifth year of Zhenghe (1115), he was a professor of Mizhou. Then he was admitted to the Chinese Word School and Mao Branch, and Ren Taixue was positive. During this period, he was friendly with Chen Dong and other Taixue students, and the latter criticized Cai Jing and his party more often, so this Qin Hui also annoyed Cai Jing. But he still has a certain background, when the imperial privy envoy Zheng Juzhong was his maternal uncle, he was sent to Puzhou to serve as the magistrate of Juancheng. ”

Lu Qian's expression was slightly wooden. Qin Hui, Qin Hui, this dog thing turned out to be in Puzhou. What a surprise, a big surprise!

For a while, he didn't know how to describe his feelings.

Excitement, excitement, it's definitely excitement.

After catching Qin Hui and having the opportunity to concoct this dog thing well, Lu Qian found that he was even more excited than when he first crossed over. I just don't know if his wife is not there, if he is, once he chops the dog man and woman into meat puree, it is the whole world to celebrate.

Of course, the person opposite him didn't know what Lu Qian was thinking at this moment. After thinking about it, he said: "The villain also found out that this Qin Xianggong and Zhao Mingcheng of the Information Agency are brothers-in-law. But Qin Hui's wife is the daughter of Wang Zhongshan's second son, Li Gefei's wife is Wang Zhongshan's sister, and Li Gefei's daughter Li Qingzhao is called Wang Zhongshan's uncle and is his niece, so Li Qingzhao calls Wang Zhongshan's daughter (that is, Qin Hui's wife) as his cousin. Li Qingzhao is older than Wang.

Lu Qian really didn't know this. Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao's details, he knows it well. But the Wang family, he really didn't know that this Wang family was the other Wang family, and Li Qingzhao had such a relationship.

Two words of relief, waved people down. Lu Qian didn't change his mind at all in his heart, this Qin Hui still had to be killed. If you don't kill him, Lu Qian's thoughts won't be understood. Even Cai Jing and the others didn't give him so much killing intent, but Qin Hui, he had to die.

As for the articles that overturned the case for Qin Hui in his previous life, what kind of backstabber, scapegoat, etc. Lu Qian ignored it, he didn't need to argue about this, he just killed someone after he caught it.

And the head of Puzhou City. Liu Zhongwu and the others were leaning on the battlements at the moment, looking out of the city.

In the distance, darkness covered the land, and several villages nearby had been turned into camps in Liangshanbo, with sporadic fires. As far as the eye can see, the wilderness is heavy, with only two or three fires, sparsely separated by each other.

The sound of fighting broke through the air, and each other seemed to be able to hear it clearly.

"The city of Puzhou is high and deep, and there is plenty of money and food in it, and our army is full of tens of thousands of soldiers, how can we not hold the city?" Wang Yu spoke. This siege of the city since ancient times was either a bloody battle or a confrontation between the two armies. There is plenty of grain and grass in Puzhou City, and he is not afraid of being besieged by Liangshan thieves. And in the fierce attack-like battle, they are on the defensive, and they also have a great advantage. Although the Liangshan thieves won the decisive battle, it did not mean that they would be able to garrison outside Puzhou for a long time.

If it weren't for worrying about the stone cannons in Liangshanbo, Wang Yu would dare to swear to the sky that he would definitely be able to defend the city.

Even if the soldiers and horses in the city were all Western troops, he could hope to wait until the enemy army was exhausted, and then fight hard, so that he could succeed in a battle.

Yao Gu and Wang Zhen were silent.

Liu Zhongwu is determined to fight, what can they do?

Early the next morning, Liu Xi was awakened by a noise, and he hurriedly got up and dressed neatly. I saw my father standing in the courtyard sighing, and I asked the attendants on the side to know what had happened.

Early this morning, Liu Guangshi, the envoy who patrolled the city, came to report that after dawn they found that many letters of persuasion had been spread in the city, and some notices had been posted to deceive people's minds. Liu Guangshi didn't catch that fine work, but he caught a lot of the surrounding people. The matter was reported to Liu Zhongwu here, and Liu Zhongwu was ordered to be released.

This Liu Guangshi has just held the military power in his hands and started to really patrol the city for public security, and now he is going to arrest more than 100 people in one go, isn't it called the explosion of Puzhou City?

When the sun was up, a team of one or two thousand men drove to the bottom of the city. The soldiers with loud voices in the army were all selected and took turns to shout and scold, ostensibly to provoke the generals from the city to meet the battle, but in fact to suppress the morale of the defenders.

Liang Shanjun's shouting and scolding were in his ears. The city army will only be a turtle with a shrunken head, and at that time, the defenders will be indignant. But if it goes on over time, the defenders will turn to the generals in the city as cowardice.

The reason why this array can be passed down in the army for thousands of years lies in this.

The people in the army are all strong in blood, so how can they not be angry and ashamed of others? You go out of the city according to the will of the soldiers, and you fall into the hub; If you don't go out and be a turtle with a shrunken head, it will lower your morale.

The arrogant laughter of the Liangshan army outside the city was clearly transmitted to the ears of the guards of Puzhou. Liu Zhongwu did not move like Wang Ba.

And so for one day, two days, three days......

The defenders in the city never moved, and the angry Suo Chao personally went into battle to scold. The Liangshan army also took the opportunity to not only transport a Liangshan cannon to the front of the army, and install them one by one, but also took the opportunity to transport countless neatly polished stone bullets.

This place in Puzhou is surrounded by a large plain with a flat river, and you can't even see a stone mountain.

Liang Shanbo captured so many captives back then, he can't let them eat dry rice for nothing, right? In addition to repairing the earth and reinforcing the fortifications of Liangshan Dazhai, one by one is to open a mountain in the back mountain to quarry and polish stone bullets.

Don't underestimate these round stone bullets. It turns out that this spherical stone projectile is more effective than directly on the stone. Whether in terms of range, accuracy, or rolling lethality after landing, spherical stone projectiles are better than stones.

And the transportation of stone bullets weighing hundreds of pounds is more troublesome than that of stone artillery. Seeing that there is still a lot of space on the ship, the carrying capacity has reached the red line. It is even more cumbersome to carry.

Four boats brought more than 2,000 stone bombs.

When everything was in place, the bombardment began.

The first was a pure stone bullet attack, the stone bullets that spanned a distance of 200 paces and bombarded the sheep and horse wall, completely sweeping everything with a devastating force. What wooden buildings, sheep and horse walls, once hit, it will be completely destroyed.

If so, this two-story wooden building made of hardwood can still be topped when facing the traditional stone cannon, then when they face the Liangshan cannon, it is a pile of broken wood.

Outside Jeju City, the string tower was hit by a stone bullet fired by a stone cannon, which was also blocking the immediate shattering. But it was only a broken wooden building, and the strength of the hardwood had resisted the attack of the stone bullets, but the sheep and horse walls under it could still be maintained. But what about the Liangshan artillery? With a single blow, the wooden building was absolutely shattered, and the sheep and horse wall under it also fell apart.

In the loud sound of "boom", a large area of sand and gravel splashed, and the cheers of the Liangshan army on the entire battlefield were like a landslide and tsunami.

……

In the past two days, I saw that everyone talked about the name, and the author was also a little uncertain, so everyone said that this Lu Qian's future country name is Liang, Qi, Lu, Zhou, or something else.

- Zhou is because Lu Qian is a native of Luoyang, and it is the location of the Zhou room in the Spring and Autumn Period.
