The enraged King Jin finally decided to use his true trump card, artillery, and an artifact that surpassed the Cold Weapon Age, and with this big guy, those originally impassable city walls became meaningless. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The sky above Tiancheng was gray, and the smoke in the city rose into the air, at this time, Lin Feng stood above the city wall, watching the figure of the Jin King's camp moving back and forth in the distance.

Artillery, it is really artillery, the scale of the artillery brought by the King of Jin is very large, although the cast iron technology of this era has been developed to a certain extent, after all, it cannot be compared with hundreds of years later, so it is indeed surprising to be able to cast such a scale of artillery.

"Immediately notify everyone to withdraw from Tiancheng, the people in the city, those who want to leave can go to the capital, and those who don't want to leave can retreat into the back city, so as not to be affected by artillery fire."

"Yes."

Lin Feng quickly ordered, at this time, on the high ground outside Tiancheng, four artillery pieces were supported, and one person looked serious and checked back and forth, this thing is not a joke, first of all, it is necessary to ensure stability, the process of firing the artillery will generate a lot of power, if the bracket below is not strong enough, the entire artillery is easy to overturn.

This is the treasure of the King of Jin, once there is damage, his head will also be moved, this is a point, the second is the angle, the cannonball is sent out, whether it can hit the target is very important, if it falls outside the city, or in the open space in the city, it is equivalent to not working, the amount of gunpowder carried with it is limited, so every time you must hit the target, this is the requirement of the King of Jin, and it is also a test for yourself.

"Adjust the angle and target the city gate."

"Yes."

Several people stepped forward, and with the gesture of that person, they pulled the rope on the side, and the shelf under the gun could move up and down with the rope, and the height of the gun's barrel changed accordingly.

"Stop."

With the shouting, several people stopped, and then wrapped it tightly, so that it could be fixed, although the artillery was powerful, after all, it was extremely laborious to transport and operate, once the army was defeated, there was no way to take the artillery away, so only the side with an absolute advantage in strength would carry this heavy firearm.

Lin Feng jumped down from the city wall, Jinyi Wei followed behind, and at the moment he walked into the street, there were four loud noises, and the mountains shook suddenly, and the war horses of the Jin king's camp neighed, under this huge sound, the war horses were also frightened, and the cavalry could only hold on to the reins, so as not to be frightened and leave.

Bang bang, the cannonball hit the city wall directly, and suddenly the smoke and dust flew everywhere, and one of the cannonballs fell on the city gate, and the strong city gate shook violently, if it wasn't for the corpses piled up inside to block it, then the gate of Tiancheng would have been completely shattered.

King Jin's personal guards guarded the carriage, King Jin opened the curtain, and from the carriage he could see the broken city walls and almost crumbling city gates, and the corners of King Jin's mouth showed a smile, the giant cannon he had spent so much silver to build was finally going to play its role.

"Keep banging, and completely flatten this place."

King Jin ordered, the artillery battalion suddenly had the courage, some people kept filling it with gunpowder, and the artillery of the Ming Dynasty adopted the direct aiming shooting method. This was due to the fact that the artillery at that time did not have anti-recoil devices, which did not guarantee aiming accuracy when firing repeatedly. Each shot must be re-targeted, and multiple shots cannot be used to effectively correct deviations. Whether the shooting is accurate or not is a matter of great chance. At the same time, in ancient times, artillery used bulk black powder, and the amount of gunpowder and gunpowder power deviated greatly, which could not provide stable and consistent internal ballistic performance. The muzzle velocity varies greatly.

This kind of ammunition used to attack the city gate was live, because the gunpowder and cast iron technology at that time was limited, so it was different from modern shells, and generally used that kind of oilcloth to tightly wrap the gunpowder, and then use the primer of gunpowder to ignite, and use the thrust of the air to beat out the oilcloth bag with explosives.

This kind of solid bullet is generally used on warships, because it is more powerful, it can be used to penetrate pirates or other countries' warships, and the cannonballs brought by King Jin this time are scattered in addition to solid bullets.

Some people may want to ask, what is a scatter bomb, because when the explosion of the stone inside will spread outward, the force is great, don't look at just a small stone word, after the push of gunpowder, even a soldier wearing armor can also penetrate the bullet, because this kind of shell can bombard a large area to kill a large number of enemies, so it is highly respected, unfortunately, the production of shells is more troublesome.

After several successive waves of offensives, the city wall of Tiancheng finally collapsed layer by layer under the bombardment of solid bullets, outside Tiancheng City, the rebel army waved their weapons one after another, and with the collapse of the city wall, the city gate also flew into the sky.

At this moment, everyone saw the true power of artillery, this is the royal road of future wars, even if it is dozens of times the enemy, as long as there are dozens of such artillery erections on the city wall, it will not be able to break through at all.

Lin Feng has approached the back city of Tiancheng, at this time, large and small vehicles gathered at the gate of the back city and people who want to leave from the city gate, the shelling of the city wall position continues, the shops and houses in front of them have been ignited by the fire, because of fear, more people choose to leave.

"Lord Lin, most of the people have been evacuated." Gao Yun and Luo Meng urged their horses to come to the front, waiting for Lin Feng's next instructions.

The distance from Tiancheng to the capital, the terrain along the way is well understood, and there are several dangerous places where troops can be stationed to delay the journey of the Jin King's army, but unfortunately, if the other party uses artillery, even if he sets up an ambush there, the role is extremely limited.

"General Gao, you take people into the canyon here first, and once there is an action, I will send someone to inform you."

"Okay." Gao Yunren immediately bowed his hand, "Lord Lin, General Luo, there will be a period later." After Gao Yun finished speaking, he turned his horse's head and ran straight to the direction of the back city gate.

"Let's go here."

Lin Feng did not bring people back to the capital, there was a veteran Geng Bingwen who was good at defense in the capital, Geng Bingwen was a veteran of the first emperor, with rich experience and a very high status in the army, plus the city wall of the capital was dozens of times stronger than the wall of Tiancheng, even if the king of Jin used artillery, it could not be broken in a short time.

"Let's go."

Lin Feng led people out of Tiancheng, the sound of horses' hooves, the army of the King of Jin quickly entered, except for those burned houses and corpses all over the ground, there was no figure in the entire Tiancheng at all.

"General, those people have already run away."

"Damn, slip faster than a rabbit." Immediately, one person couldn't help but scold, originally to avenge the dead soldiers, but he didn't expect that this place had become an empty city.

"The last general will immediately lead people to chase after him." It was a young general who spoke, most of whom were eager to make meritorious contributions, and the person at the head snorted coldly, "Our opponent is extremely cunning, and if you chase it out at this time, I am afraid that there will be no return, and you will have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions in the future." The man glared at the young general, and then urged his horse to run straight out of the city.

"Ran away?"

King Jin took a deep breath and shook his head, his expression revealed a little loss, where did he lose this battle fiasco, this is very important, even more important than the tens of thousands of dead and wounded.

Tong Shan, yes, this is this person, if it weren't for trusting him, he would never be so rash, "Have you seen Tong Shan?" ”

"The last general will go to find it immediately."

The rebellious army of the King of Jin really found the tied steward Tong Shan and his cronies in the steward's mansion, and when they saw someone breaking in, these people were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, and the shouts and killings outside could be heard clearly here.

"You're in charge?"

Tong Shan raised his head when he heard the voice, and saw Jinyiwei who was not Lin Feng, "Yes, I am." ”

"The prince wants to see you."

"Okay."

Tong Shan heard that the prince wanted to see him, and he was happy all of a sudden, if it fell into the hands of Jinyiwei, it would definitely be a dead end, the prince was different, he was loyal to the prince, and he was a celebrity around the king of Jin.

"Tong Shan knocks on the prince."

King Jin looked at Tong Shan, the steward of Tiancheng, who was tied up and pushed in front of him, "What's the matter?" ”

"Back to the prince, Lin Feng is too cunning, he has seen through the identity of the lowly position, and arrested all of us yesterday."

"Yesterday? When? ”

"Shortly after noon, while the lowly was sleeping, those men broke in and killed anyone they saw." Tong Shan couldn't help but shed tears when he thought of what happened to him.

"You're lying!" King Jin was suddenly furious, and Tong Shan was so frightened that he retreated again and again.
