Chapter 1056: Xia Qingzhou (1)
"Hehe, of course not, of course not." Wu Jue hurriedly said. In any case, these artillery pieces are also thousands of miles away, and they were transported from Bianjing, and after listening to Liu Ming's words, I knew that there were not many of them in Bianjing City, which shows that Li Jing attaches great importance to Ludi, and even such a secret weapon has been shipped.
"Hmph, I won't tell you, when General Dao left Bianjing, he wanted to take a few statues to Hebei, but unfortunately he was rejected by His Majesty, thinking that the land of Hebei is suitable for cavalry attacks, strong mobility, and artillery turnover is inconvenient, once it is obtained by the enemy, it will increase the enemy's strength, so His Majesty will send this thing to Ludi, for the general to use, I am afraid that it will be sent back to Bianjing, or follow His Majesty's army. You! Be content! Liu Ming saw Wu Jue's duplicity, and immediately said disdainfully.
Wu Jue suddenly became upset when he heard this, there is no way, the reputation of the Seed Master Dao is too loud, even the Seed Master Dao attaches great importance to this thing, thinking that this artillery has a strong attack power, far above those firearms in Zhao Song. Wu Jue, who was still a little unconcerned, thought about how to save these cannons.
"It's a pity, this cannon is too heavy, it is very inconvenient to make, to make a cannon, at least two molds will be lost, and the made artillery will have to be slowly polished, a little inappropriate, and the artillery will be recast in the furnace, otherwise, there will not be only ten cannons." Liu Ming patted the barrel of the cannon and said with a slight regret.
"It's okay to have these fews, let's try it tomorrow and see if we can break through Qingzhou City, so that we can also reduce some of our brothers' losses." Wu Jue was curious in his heart, patted the barrel of the cannon, and said: "Lord Liu, I have worked hard for you this time, and when I return to Beijing, I, Wu Jue, will invite you to drink." ”
"It's all for Your Majesty, where does the hard work come from." Liu Chao said in the direction of Bianjing. He is very happy in his heart now, following Li Jing, getting a lot of money is secondary, and more important is reputation, which is not something anyone can give.
"Would you like to bring it for the night?" Wu Luan's eyes lit up on the side, and he said: "If we attack during the day, if we can't finish Yan Zongbi's dying struggle and lead the cavalry to forcibly attack, our losses will be great." ”
"Not at night, this artillery needs to be debugged, although the amount of gunpowder we use is the same every time, but the distance shot may be different, it can only be roughly the same, so when attacking, we must first try to see how far we can shoot, where is the best, and I am afraid it will not work if we shoot it at night." Liu Ming thought for a while and said, "Besides, unless we fail instantly, this thing is not something that ordinary people can carry away." Tomorrow, we will attack together with the return artillery, and we will regard it as a general attack! ”
Due to the limitations of the times, this artillery can not be adjusted, it can only be fixed to death, every time the attack is adjusted, it is very difficult, you can only use the artillery by experience, and use the artillery at night, unless you use large-scale artillery, in order to achieve the purpose of attacking others, only a few artillery pieces are obviously much worse.
"Okay, tomorrow will be tomorrow, our western front really needs to capture Qingzhou City, lest when Your Majesty crosses the Yellow River, we will still be under Qingzhou City, isn't that a joke for the world?" Wu Jue nodded and said: "The purpose of our existence is to make the Jin people think that Your Majesty is only a three-way northern expedition, so that Your Majesty can easily capture the Daimyo's Mansion and settle the land of Hebei." ”
"In that case, tomorrow I will lead the cavalry to suppress the formation." Wu Lan saw that Wu Jue agreed, naturally he had nothing to say, he could only serve as the heavy task of pressing the formation, 50,000 troops, and more than 10,000 cavalry, in the Southern Song Dynasty, this is a very high proportion, but in the Tang Dynasty, which has the origin of war horses, such a proportion is not high, and in the Boyan Legion in the north, almost all of them are cavalry. There are many Jin cavalry, and it is destined that Wu Lan will face a bloody battle tomorrow.
Early the next morning, the Tang army roared out, dozens of return cars mixed with artillery slowly approaching Qingzhou City, Wu Ling personally led the cavalry to protect the return artillery and artillery, Hua Rong led the archers to cover the Qingzhou City Gate, Wu Jue led the army to attack Qingzhou City at any time.
The Tang army was huge, and Wanyan Zongbi on the city wall saw it clearly, knowing that Wu Jue was preparing for today's decisive battle. At that moment, he ordered the Jin army to go up to the city wall and prepare to meet the enemy.
"Wu Jue used all the return artillery, I'm afraid he just wanted to decide the outcome of a battle, and the general could order someone to lead the cavalry to destroy part of the return cannon first." Ha Mi Chi pointed to the return cannon under the city and said. Compared with the huge return cannon, the gun in the middle of the return gun went unnoticed. Or they wouldn't have thought about what kind of damage a cannon with such a small caliber would do to the city. However, Li Jing's return cannon spread all over the world, and everyone knew the damage of the return cannon to the city wall.
"Although the Huihui Cannon is powerful, the walls of Qingzhou City are not useless, and it will take a while for the Huihui Cannon to break through Qingzhou City, and the only thing to worry about is the damage to the soldiers. There is simply not much anti-cavalry, and when the battle is fierce, I personally lead the cavalry to charge into battle, and destroy the opponent's return artillery, their return cannon was destroyed last time, and the hasty production should not be too sophisticated. As soon as Yan Zongbi's words fell, a loud noise sounded in his ears, and the earth shook.
"What's going on?" Wanyan Zongbi suddenly saw a black hole under the city wall, although the entrance of the cave was not big, but the momentum brought was not small, and Wanyan Zongbi suddenly had a trace of uneasy thoughts in his heart.
But before he could think about it, there was a sound of tooth soreness in the air, and he saw countless stones flying from a distance, smashing towards the city wall, the sound was like a thunderbolt, like thunder rolling in, this is the sound of the return cannon, Wanyan Zongbi is very familiar with it.
"Bang, bang." There was a loud noise, and the mountains shook again, and the city walls seemed to be shaking.
"General be careful, the enemy is testing artillery, and a new attack will be ushered in later." Ha Mi suddenly thought of something, and said loudly: "The general personally leads the army to charge, and he must destroy the return artillery, the enemy is probably hiding something." Ha Mi Chi suddenly thought of the first shelling, his eyes tightened, and suddenly, he felt that something was wrong. With his own intelligence, he vaguely sensed that the enemy seemed to be hiding something.
"Okay, you command from above, and I will personally lead the army to charge." Wanyan Zongbi trusted Ha Mi Chi very much, and handed over the command to Ha Mi Chi without thinking about it, and personally led the army to charge into battle, preparing to destroy the return artillery.
