Chapter 234: Launching a General Attack in Advance

Ling Zhen's forehead was sweating a little, and there were also casualties on the city, and the fierce Yuan soldiers rushed over with their lives, just to shoot a few arrows at the city, and before their arms were exhausted, they were already squeezed to the front by the cavalry who rushed again.

There was no cover in front of them, no fire support, and from 300 steps close to the city wall, they had to resist the bombardment of the thunderbolts, followed by a volley of extremely sharp armor-piercing cones, and after resisting, they had a chance to shoot arrows at the Song army on the city wall within 100 paces.

"Damn, these Tartars are really broken in their skulls, and they are rushing over on horseback to die. Brothers, hurry up and concentrate the artillery fire, and get rid of those forty cannons for me first! ”

"Brothers of the city guards, shoot arrows quickly, don't give them a chance to shoot arrows."

"Kill! Kill me! ”

There were only more than 30 people left around Dong Wenbing, and when he saw the more than 20,000 cavalry who were all pressed up, like moths to a fire, he felt pain like a knife. This is his last chance as a general, if he has no record after this battle, he will be demoted and refrigerated, that is, Boyan will treat him well, and if he can't come to a pre-battle battle, the black cauldron of defeat can be on his head.

The only good chance is that there are still five cannons, which have entered the range of being able to fire at the head of the city, lined up in front of the east gate, and the soldiers hiding below are making final preparations.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, a brave cannon was ignited and fired, but I don't know if it was because of the shell bombardment, or if there was a mistake in the charge, the cannon exploded in the wooden shell.

Bags of gunpowder were ignited, and the fire burned in an instant, and the dozens of Yuan soldiers hiding below were all killed without even moving the nest, and it was not over being blown up, and the fire that followed was ignited, and the corpses were also burned to black.

This explosion startled the soldiers of the firearms battalion at the head of the city, and judging from the sound of the explosion and the broken logs, this is not much worse than the Hongyi cannon at the head of the city.

"Brothers, speed up the reloading, give me to fire the cannon quickly, I can't let the Yuan soldiers have another chance to open the cannon."

It was very hot in the chamber of the cannon just fired, but the soldiers of the firearms battalion in a hurry did not care about the standard, and kept cleaning it with a long-handled brush, and began to charge before the interval was reached. According to the daily requirements, this is very dangerous, because the temperature of the gun chamber is too high, it is not very uncommon to cause the chamber to explode, so Zhao Tianyou set the requirements very strict when formulating the tactical manual.

Fortunately, there are only four Shenyong cannons left, that is, these wooden shells are very strong, and they are basically bombarded by three or five shells, which gave Dong Wenbing a chance to grow his face before they exploded.

If the artillery continues to hit, the soldiers of the four Heroic Cannons will not have time to do aiming adjustment, because it is likely that in the next moment, the protective shell will be shattered, and in that case, they will not be able to ignite and launch.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The four Shenyong cannons were ignited and fired in front and back, and three or four feet of flames spit out from the muzzles, and the iron balls and iron filings that shot out flew towards the head of the Song army.

The question of range, or range, the distance of 500 paces can be bombarded, and the experiment was 600 paces away, but there were still two cannons that did not meet the standard, and small iron balls were shot out and sprinkled on the heads of the cavalry under the city.

There was a crackling and falling of countless iron filings and iron balls on the top of the city, and the soldiers of the city guard and the firearms battalion were injured dozens at once, but fortunately, at this distance, the strength of the projectile was insufficient when it fell, and the injuries caused were not fatal.

However, the counterattack of the Song army was connected, and under the continuous bombardment of dozens of cannons, the four cannons were also blown up to pieces, and before they could shoot the second cannon, they were wiped out by a series of explosive shells.

The cavalry who kept attacking exchanged their lives for the opportunity, and the brave cannon finally successfully opened fire under the city of Guangzhou, and killed and injured many Song soldiers at the head of the city, Dong Wenbing has already begun to find a way to exonerate himself from responsibility for today's doomed failure.

"Assault with cavalry? Ridiculous, this method can't be used easily, you have to be sure of victory, this stupid Dong Wenbing, I'm really angry! ”

Ah Shu made a truce in Beicheng today, waiting for Dong Wenbing to exchange the data of the Song army's artillery, preparing to compare them together, and then come up with a suitable siege plan. If it was still possible, Ah Shu even wanted to send tens of thousands of soldiers to forcibly cross the river and go to the west of Guangzhou City to try it out to see if the number and power of the cannons were the same.

"Marshal, Dong Wenbing's troops have attacked the city, and the dead bodies are about to fill in the moat. His brave cannon was blown up by the Song army, but he also successfully fired a few shots at the head of the city, and it is said that the explosion killed and injured many Song troops on the head of the city. He commanded a maximum of 30,000 cavalry, and without cover, regardless of the battle damage, he was able to rush to the city to attack so hard, and his bravery was commendable! Courage is commendable! ”

I don't know whether Schinbari's evaluation is positive or negative, and when he praises people's courage, he shakes his head, what does it mean.

Ah Shu's face sank and said: "Bullshit, the same trick, if it is used in Beicheng, I believe that the soldiers have already climbed the city wall of Guangzhou." In this way, Song Jun must have taken precautions, and when we use it, it is very likely that Song Jun will think of a way to crack it, wouldn't it make me waste my efforts. ”

Siqin Bari clenched his fists and bowed his head and said: "Great Marshal, since Dong Wenbing only led 30,000 people, he can sacrifice his life to attack the city in the east city, and I also lead 30,000 people to attack the city from the north gate, can't I kill the city?" ”

"Are you saying that we are not entangled in the information and power of the Song army's artillery, and we also do not give the Song army time to prepare for defense, and immediately launch a general attack, and continue to die until the city gate is opened?"

"The marshal is wise."

Ah Shu's mind spun around a few times, the number and power of the Song army's cannons had been understood yesterday, and the cost of more than 10,000 casualties was a bit big, although he was distressed, but no one dared to say it if he took care of his face.

Siqin Bari is very smart, since Dong Wenbing has attacked the city with cavalry, can't the soldiers and horses be strong here?

"Okay, Sichinbari received the order, and you commanded 60,000 soldiers and horses, and immediately began to attack the city! All the generals led their troops and horses to gather outside the northern city, and they could send troops to support the siege of Sichinbari at any time! ”

Ah Shu did this reasonably, he first thought that he was not ready for a general attack, so he attacked so suddenly, disrupting his rhythm, would the Song army in the city also panic? There is no good way to deal with artillery, isn't it the way to win in chaos?

His decision to give the order for a general attack was random, and it really disrupted the rhythm of the Song army in the city.

Zhao Tianyou was very surprised to receive the news of Dongcheng, Dong Wenbing sacrificed his life to attack the city, and the cavalry had already rushed to the city and began to use human corpses and horse corpses to pad the moat, but he was taken aback, didn't he want to feint? How to start playing with your life!
