Chapter 271: The Rhythm of Death

"Okay, it's really a backbone warrior, haha, let's have two more shots for them to taste!"

Zhao Tianyou wants this is this, Suo Duo, you lead the troops from a distance and don't come forward, when can you kill you, if you don't blow up, when you are dizzy and angry, our cavalry is embarrassed to go out to fight you.

Of course, if Zhao Tianyou sends the cavalry out to fight with them now, that is a sign of insufficient IQ, the only measure of war is the result, and the process is fucking beautified, as long as you can win the enemy, how to write the history books is not your own decision?

Now it is Suo Duo who is a little uncompromising, and he begins to react to a shell, Zhao Tianyou feels that this Suo Duo is limited even if he is cautious on weekdays, and he may be teased twice again.

"Knock knock!"

Two shells fell into Sodo's team, and after the explosion, there were more than a dozen casualties, and Sodo's face was lonely, and his heart was hesitating in the battle between heaven and man. Obeying Boyan's request to cooperate with the siege of the city, it is equivalent to sending these tens of thousands of people into the fire pit, waiting until they are completely crippled by the Song army and then fleeing, or simply turn around and leave now, but these two choices are a dead end for him.

The offensive of the northern Yuan soldiers reached its climax at this time, and the high-pitched drums and loud horns continued to sound, inspiring the Yuan cavalry under the city, igniting the last passion in their blood, and stimulating the last strength in their lives.

The rumbling sound of cannons and the neighing of horses of the Yuan soldiers filled Suoduo's ears, and the bloodthirsty nature in his brain was finally ignited, and he rode on his horse and yelled at the east gate of Guangzhou.

"Ready, all attack! Enter the city of Guangzhou and capture Wen Tianxiang alive! Kill! Kill! ”

Sodo was the first to rush out of the ranks with the reins of his horse, and the dozens of personal soldiers around him did not dare to slack off, and wildly waved their horsewhips to chase Suo Duo forward, and the enemies behind them were driven up at once, and the noisy sound of horses' hooves sounded, bringing up pieces of smoke and dust.

"Kill! Kill! ”

Dozens of horse-drawn carriages covered in leather armor, pulling rudimentary ladders to hit wood, and siege equipment such as building carts of various sizes were particularly conspicuous among the procession that began to gallop.

"Knock out those wagons first! Then shoot freely, control the rhythm of the enemy, look for the generals in the team, and wait for the opportunity to destroy none of them. General Ling, where are your cavalry assembled? Let them prepare first, it is estimated that they will need to fight in a while. ”

As soon as Suo Duo launched the attack on Guangzhou, today's fate has been roughly decided, that is, the question of how much to retreat if he can hold out until the battle damage is reached, and another reason is that Zhao Tianyou decided to temper the cavalry today, and Suo Duo's team still has a whetstone fate today.

There are not many artillery positions on the east city wall, and there are no large-caliber Hongyi cannons, but this time, in order to strengthen the firepower configuration of the east city gate, Zhao Tianyou specially allocated twenty sub-mother cannons to prepare for battle.

The team of 30,000 people said more than much, but when they gathered together, it looked like a large area of black pressure, and when the cannons of Guangzhou fired shells aimed at blowing up those speeding carriages, the ranks of the Yuan army dispersed in an uproar.

This must have been a tactic that Sodo had practiced a long time ago, and at a distance of a mile from the city wall, the cannon was the most lethal and efficient, and in addition to strengthening the soldiers' own protection, they could only rely on the distance between each other to reduce the damage in the process.

Originally, the ten-way column was rushing forward, and the cannon at the head of the city was very easy to aim, basically the left and right of the bullet impact point would be full of Yuan cavalry, and the hit rate of the cannon with his eyes closed would not be too bad. However, this time, tens of thousands of soldiers were scattered, and there were no more targets that could be piled up to aim, no matter where the muzzles were pointed, they were all very scattered formations.

"Oh, there are two hits, and it seems that this Sodo is not given for nothing! Knowing the scattered formation, waiting for the city to gather strength, around a few points to attack together, not bad! Zhao Tianyou looked at the Yuan soldiers scattered outside the city, and glanced at Ling Zhen, who was more nervous beside him.

"This trick is good, the distance is not too far, you can get close to the city wall with two sprints of the reins, and after they disperse, the lethality of our cannons will decrease, how can we deal with it now?"

"Let's take a look at the performance of our sub-mother cannon first, this is the first time Dongcheng has fired a cannon, come on!"

At this time, the distance of Sodo's large army had passed a mile, and in the process of continuing to gallop forward, it began to gradually move closer together, although it was braving the continuous bombardment of the cannons at the head of the city, but it was still very tenacious to maintain the formation.

When there were still a few hundred paces, a dozen thousand troops had already assembled, each gathered around these few surviving carriages, and began to transport the ladders and siege equipment to the moat, and was about to cross the river to begin the siege.

Twenty rapid-fire cannons began to fire happily at this time, this kind of inward shooting from top to bottom, only it can be completed, you let the Hongyi cannon play like this, the most breech-charged Hongyi cannon is not good.

Risking death to get close to the moat, just about to fill in the river section to cross the river to attack the city, continuous explosions sounded in the ranks, and the aiming angle of the rapid-fire cannon was also very fast, and in a very short time, ten shells with a standard coefficient were fired. At this time, the chamber of the cannon is already hot, and the firing must be suspended, artificial heat dissipation must begin, and the temperature can be completely lowered before the cannon can be fired again.

Although the ten shells that exploded in connection were not many, and the casualties were only one or two hundred, they disrupted Sodo's established tactics, and the gathered ranks were broken up again, and the divided soldiers did not dare to gather together.

"Ballista, fire!"

With the increasing number of cannons at the head of the city, among the long-range attack weapons, the thunderbolt cannon fired by the ballista bed has been reduced to a strike weapon within a hundred paces, which completely coincides with the attack range of ordinary bows and arrows.

In this context, the manpower of the firearms battalion began to be tight, and the experienced hands were in charge of all kinds of artillery, so the ballista thunderbolt was transferred to the city guards, and became a powerful weapon in their hands.

This was the first ignition and launch of the city guards under Ling Zhen's subordinates, and the soldiers in charge of the operation were very excited, and after the first round of firing, they immediately loaded the crossbow arrows and tightened the tension spring to continue firing. Along with them were thousands of ordinary soldiers, although they received special bows and armor-piercing cones, but some of them lacked arm strength, and the armor-piercing cones that were shot out just crossed the city, and they fell down.

But that's okay, the rain of arrows fell, and the Yuan soldiers who rushed to the city fell to the ground one after another, their cowhide helmets couldn't prevent the penetration of the armor-piercing cone at all, and they lost the ability to move if they couldn't touch a few, and the wound of the armor-piercing cone lost blood very quickly and was difficult to heal, and falling down basically meant death.

Zhao Tianyou pointed to the crowd under the city and said to Ling Zhen.

"Sodo is there, see!"
