"All the artillery, one test shot, fire!"

Ma Yong, the artillery director of the Linhuang Corps, stood behind the 88 cannons that were centrally placed, waving a red flag vigorously while shouting orders.

The group of 88 cannons shook violently at the same time, and the flames first erupted, followed by the thunderous cannon sound, and the smoke filled the air. One by one, the cannonballs like black dots rolled at a speed that could be kept up with the naked eye and flew towards the distant city wall. In the blink of an eye, everywhere on the city wall south of Linhuang Mansion, smoke pillars and earth stones rose!

When the cannon sounded, Wan Yan, who was supervising the battle in the southeast corner of Linhuangfu City, trembled.

Because he's already figured out he's wrong!

The cannon of the Zhou army is too powerful, and the ground shakes the mountains when it starts, and it is more than ten times more powerful than the 250-pound cannon sent by Datong Mansion!

Wanyan Xiyin's guy bought it from Song Guo shouldn't be a fake and shoddy cannon, right? This guy won't accept the kickback of Ji Yi, the traitor of the Song Dynasty, right?

"Boom, boom, boom......"

When Wan Yan Xian also felt that something was wrong, another salvo from the Zhou army's artillery team came over? Cannonballs swept through the walls of Linhuang Province like a storm. The sand and rocks at the head of the city fell down with a clatter. In an instant, dust and smoke covered the entire front, and at first the panicked Jurchen soldiers could be seen running around trying to dodge the cannonballs, and then they were overturned by something unknown (the air currents brought by the cannonballs flying over the city) and fell down the city walls......

The artillery of the Zhou army was still roaring, as if it had not stopped, and according to the plan made by Wu Yiyong and Ma Yong, the shelling would continue until a large gap appeared in the wall of Linhuang Mansion.

For today's shelling, the Linhuang Legion has prepared as many as 12,000 rounds of solid shells, which is enough for the tofu scum city wall of Linhuang Mansion to withstand it.

For the defenders of the Jin Kingdom in the southern city wall of Linhuang Mansion, the long and earth-shattering artillery bombardment was not so easy!

Slanted also waved his hand violently: "Fight back!" Let our cannons fire too! ”

A few Jurchen sons who were guarding him immediately rushed to a nearby triangular out-of-fortress - there was a circle of out-of-the-forts around the Linhuangfu City, but not all of them were connected to the city walls. Only the outgoing forts, which extend from the four corners of the walls, are connected to the walls. Among them, the 2 6 two cannons deployed on the outgoing fort extending out of the southeast corner of the city wall have the role of trumpet cannons.

As soon as they fired, the 6 and two guns deployed on all the forts in the south of the city would fire at the same time.

As for whether it can hit the ...... Then it doesn't matter, the artillery under Xian Ye is not even half-hanging. What ranging, what aiming, what ballistics, I don't understand at all. It's nice to be able to barely stuff the gunpowder of a cannonball into the chamber and then fire it out.

And the oblique didn't expect those "fake guns" that were not too thick than chopsticks to hit anything. The purpose of letting them fire cannons is just to give their own people courage - we also have cannons, and we can fight back!

"Sure enough, it fired!"

Wu Yiyong had already noticed that the "small cannon" on the Jin army's triangular out-of-fort was firing, and couldn't help laughing, "It's so far away, I really don't know what it's fighting?" ”

When Wang Yan heard his words, he said loudly: "Let them fight, and more than half of them will be wasted after six hours of cannons!" ”

Artillery firing is a complex task that must be completed by seven gunners who work together in accordance with the prescribed steps. Moreover, in the process of operating the gun, it is necessary to be cautious to prevent accidents such as overheating of the barrel, explosion of the barrel or explosion of gunpowder.

Without well-trained artillery, artillery is more dangerous to its own people than to the enemy.

Sure enough, the accident occurred in less than half an hour after the Jin Bing's artillery bombarded. A 6 cannon exploded due to overheating of the barrel!

The Jurchen artillerymen, who had long been stunned by the rumbling shelling, completely forgot to cool down the barrels, but only stuffed the shells and gunpowder into the barrels, and then ignited and fired.

As a result, the gunpowder and the shell were pressed into the overheated cannon chamber together, and it exploded directly in the chamber, and the barrel of the cannon was immediately exploded, and the fragments flew around, shattering the skull of a strong Jurchen man like an iron tower on the spot! There were also a few Jurchen artillerymen's arms and shoulders, which were regarded as broken bones!

Pink brains and bright red blood splattered everywhere, and the smell of blood suddenly overshadowed the smoke of gunpowder! The screams were louder than even the roar of the cannons! The entire triangle out of the fort seems to have become a hell of a nose!

This is not the first accident, before that, there were two more 6 taels of guns out of condition.

The loading rod of one of the 6 taels guns was fired - the loader somehow left the loading rod in the chamber! Then the Jurchen artillerymen who operated the cannon went to find a carbine, and removed the head of the gun to use as a loading rod. However, this carbine is very crudely made, the barrel is thick, and it is not straight. After stuffing it into the barrel, it was actually stuck there, and a group of artillerymen were busy for a while, but they couldn't take it out!

In a panic, another stuffed an iron sand bullet wrapped in deerskin into the barrel of the cannon as a powder bag, and then loaded it with a solid bullet of 6 taels. As a result, the chamber of the cannon was blocked, and the solid and iron sand shells inside could not be taken out for a while, making it impossible for the cannon to fire again.

So without the cannons of the Zhou army, there were three small cannons on the Jurchen side, which were "dumb", which was really frustrating.

The artillerymen of the Zhou army opened fire in an orderly manner, and the 88 cannons were unhurriedly carrying out round after round of salvo fire.

The walls of Linhuangfu City, which were not strong in the first place, were beaten to a thousand holes and riddled with bullet wounds. In many places, there have been gaps, and the rammed earth has been loosened and loosened, and it has fallen down in a sparse uproar, burying the tigers under the city wall.

The city wall of Linhuang Mansion may not be able to support it for too long!

……

At the same time, Empress Dowager Xiao's army also launched an attack on the position of the Aguda Division!

The 40,000 Liao army actually took the initiative to attack 140,000 Jin soldiers!

I have to say that Xiao Sise's audacity is a bit too much.

However, Xiao Sese does have the capital to be bold, because judging from the scene on the battlefield at this moment, the Liao army, which is less than one-third of the enemy, really has the upper hand!

On the battlefield, the Eastern Liao army still sacrificed the camel city tactic, put out a rectangular camel city, and also placed a circle on the periphery of the camel city to reject horses. On the side facing the Jin army's large array, a gap was left on both sides of the front of the camel city, and 28 4-pound cavalry guns were lined up in each side, facing the center of the Jin army's formation 400 steps away, which was an endless salvo of artillery fire.

A salvo was fired, and 28 iron bumps came out and fell into the pile of golden soldiers. Sometimes the shells would bounce and continue to roll and sweep for a while. All the golden soldiers who stood in front of the flight path of the shells were all poured blood mold and were knocked down by rows.

The artillery of the golden soldiers is also desperately fighting back! Their guns were small, but they were quite numerous, more than 200 of them. However, there was no concentration of firepower, but evenly dispersed in front of the battle formation. So it was not possible to form dense and heavy fire.

Moreover, the quality of the artillery of the Jin Army is not good, although they all have a body of martial arts, if it is hand-to-hand combat, three or five Zhou artillerymen will not be able to get close. But firing cannons is not a traditional martial art! This group of people is stupid, they are not well trained, and no one can teach them to shoot artillery well - Wanyan Xiyin only thought of buying more guns and gunpowder, and he never thought of hiring a military adviser from the Song Dynasty to teach them.

Therefore, these Jinguo gunners can shoot artillery at most, and they cannot reach the level of excellent artillery at all.

It's okay to deal with the proofreading at ordinary times. If you really go to the battlefield and operate under the interference of the smoke of gunpowder everywhere and the constant falling enemy shells, it will be a mess! And the consequence of the artillery chaos is that there are many accidents, either the powder cart is ignited, or the artillery is blown up. The Liao people didn't kill a few, and many of their own people were injured.

The chaos at the front was quickly reported to Akuta, who was sitting in the camp. The founder of Daikin now did not dare to go to the front line to command—if he was to fire artillery, he would have died an ugly death.

"It's all very strong, let the sons and daughters rush into battle!"

"It's all very strong, let me take someone to rush! Keep the head of the Empress Dowager Xiao for you! ”

"You can't rush to the front, let's take a detour from both wings, Liaogou's cannons are all in the front, we can't rush."

The Jurchen generals also talked nonsense about the war and offered advice, and they, like Aguta, were very uncomfortable with the war mode of stepping into the era of hot weapons with one foot.

Their best fighting methods such as iron cavalry charging formation, cavalry shooting, and hard army fighting cannot be said to be outdated now, but they must be under the cover of artillery to play powerful.

Without enough firepower, a dense infantry formation can't be put out!

Just when Ah Guda was hesitating whether to send troops to make a detour, the front line changed again.

"The report is very fierce, the Liao people have dispatched guns and camel teams, and they are in front of the formation, it seems that they are going to attack!"

"What?" Akuda stood up sharply and strode out of the tent. The Jurchen generals in the tent also hurriedly got up and followed, and rushed out together.

Ah Gu made a tent and strode towards the watchtower of the Chinese army. More than a dozen guards suddenly rushed up, supporting Ah Gu with seven hands and eight feet. Someone else brought him a fur cloak, the wind is strong on the grassland, and Ah Guta is old and frail, but don't freeze.

The space on the lookout was limited, and there were not too many people standing, only Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Zonggan went up together.

Standing on a high platform and looking into the distance, I only saw a field of smoke on the battlefield in front of me, as if there was a thick fog.

Faintly, you can also see that in front of the camel city of the Liao army, there has been a large and two small, three rectangular battle formations.

The large battle formation was made up of dense pikemen, and the sunlight shone through the smoke on the tips of the spears, reflecting a chill that sent chills down the spine. The two small formations are composed of hundreds of camel soldiers, and behind the sides of the big battle array, a zigzag layout is formed, which looks amazing from a distance.
