"Artillery preparation!"

Outside the southern part of Yingzhou City, twenty guns were lined up in four rows, and the muzzles were aimed at the same target.

"Young marshal, Song Jun is ......"

Liu Qianfan looked at the position of the Song army with a solemn face, his face changed slightly, and said: "It seems that the Song army is going to forcibly bomb the city gate, this matter is tricky!" ”

Liu Qianfan, who was still confident in the jack gate, suddenly lost his confidence when he saw the Song army's formation, because after seeing the power of the Song army's artillery, it was really difficult for him to determine whether the jack gate could block the bombardment!

"Fire!"

The lone wolf waved his hand again, and the gunners picked up the fire that had been prepared long ago and lit the twists of the artillery.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom! ”

The cannons rang out in unison, and a row of shells fired directly at the Yingzhou city gate.

A row of white smoke came out of the artillery position of the Song army, and more than a dozen shells shot straight at the jack gate!

Immediately afterwards, there was a series of loud noises from under the city tower, mixed with the sound of wood breaking, and most of the cannonballs fired by the Song army hit the heavy jack gate.

Only a few shells hit the city walls, making a deafening explosion, and the entire city began to shake slightly.

The accuracy of the Song army's artillery was due to the fierce battle on the bank of the Yangtze River and the warm-up effect of the repeated bombardment of the city wall.

The twenty guns were bombarded in four sections, and the advantage of this was not to maintain the continuation of the fire, but to allow the shells at the back to fall on the craters formed in front, thus cutting off the entire section of the wall layer by layer.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom! ”

2nd round, 3rd round, 4th round...... Round after round of shelling seems endless.

The outermost layer of the city wall has been torn off by artillery fire, and although the core soil in the middle has been repeatedly tamped, it is still vulnerable to the shells filled with yellow gunpowder.

After each round of shelling, a large amount of loess poured down from the city walls. After a while, only a loud bang was heard, and the top of the city wall collapsed widely.

Under the city, the Song army is still indifferent!

In the city, the face of the golden army is like earth!

Liu Qianfan leaned over to check the downstairs of the city, and the jack gate had been deformed and out of shape, and the iron sheets in several places had been broken, revealing the cracked wooden planks inside, and it seemed that it could not be saved.

"What to do? What can I do? ”

"Young marshal, how should this be?"

"The last general asks the young marshal for an order, and he is willing to lead the iron cavalry to kill this Song army, so that our army will not suffer from such bombing!"

"Young marshal! ……”

The sound of artillery fire in the sky shook the brick wall and the heart of every golden soldier.

"Young marshal, now that the Nanban has not rushed up, send the dead soldiers to snatch back the city gate and build a fortress to resist the enemy! The city gate hole is relatively narrow, and the road can be blocked by knife carts and sandbags on the back side, which can build a second line of defense and avoid the cannons of the Song army! ”

Liu Qianfan shook his head and said: "It's not proper, if the jack gate is destroyed, it is useless to build a barricade, Nanban pushes the cannon up, and the city gate will definitely not be able to defend it." ”

"Well, what the young marshal said is very ......"

Only then did everyone react that the Song army artillery under the city was obviously alive, and it could be adjusted at any time, and it could be destroyed by turning to the position facing the city gate.

After Liu Qianfan groaned for a while, he said solemnly: "For today's plan, quickly fill the gap in the city wall and consolidate the city gate fortifications, if the city gate is accidentally blown open, you will go out of the city with this commander to kill and retreat this group of southern barbarians!" ”

"Yes!"

In fact, Liu Qianfan's order to go out of the city and retreat from the enemy should have been given a long time ago, because this was the best means to disrupt the Song army's artillery array. Otherwise, let the endless suppression of the Song army's artillery sooner or later raze the entire city of Yingzhou to the ground.

Previously, due to the fear of the combat power of the Zhanyun Iron Cavalry, and the elite troops in the city had been withdrawn to attack Ye Yu, they were worried that the troops would be unsustainable, so they did not go out of the city to meet the enemy in time.

But now at this time, he has no choice, and he can only lead the army out of the city to fight!

At this moment, Song Jun outside the city looked at this situation and sighed. No one knows better than them the dangers of the ladder siege, standing on the crumbling ladder and engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the defenders at the head of the city, it is almost a battle of life and death.

Now it's good, the artillery has directly leveled the city wall, and the siege battle has become a flat battle, if such a battle can't be won again, how can it be worthy of this expensive artillery battalion.

The Yingzhou city wall was more than four zhang high, and the artillery shells hit the height of about two zhang, causing the collapse of the city wall. The collapsed earth formed a dirt slope that served as a springboard for the stormtroopers.

The Song army officers and soldiers, under the order of the lone wolf, let Da Bao personally lead the vanguard army to attack one after another. And the Jin army defending the head of the wall desperately resisted and blocked the surging Song army's offensive.

Gradually, however, they could not resist it, as the gate crumbled in the incessant bombardment.

Twenty cannons continuously bombarded the jack gate, even if the current artillery power is not as good as that of later generations, but after all, it could not withstand the repeated bombardment, so with a loud bang, the gate finally collapsed under heavy blows.

"Stop the Southern Barbarians for me!"

"Kill the Song army!"

"Brothers, fight!"

At this time, the city gate that was bombed was waiting for the Song army to rush in, but Liu Qianfan had already led 10,000 troops in the city to rush out.

And the generals who stayed behind him to guard Yingzhou City, taking advantage of this gap buffer, were constantly urging the soldiers to build the city wall: "Brothers, quickly resist, take a step back, and kill the whole battalion!" ”

commanded the big bag of the siege, saw a large number of golden soldiers rushing out of the city, and saw that it was Liu Qianfan who was the leader, and immediately touched the golden hammer in his hand: "Since it came out, let the master see if you have this piece of material!" ”

After speaking, he urged the war horse, and led the army to meet him with a roar.

Liu Qianfan didn't really want to fight to the death with the Song army when he left the city, his original intention was to be able to successfully destroy the Song army's artillery battalion in a surprise attack, so as soon as he left the city, he rushed to the Song army's position as quickly as the wind.

The iron horsemen of both sides galloped in the wilderness outside the city, the smoke and dust flew all over the sky, and the roar was earth-shattering, and it seemed as if two high mountains were rapidly advancing against each other from a distance.

When the cavalry of the two sides slammed into each other, the clashing of weapons and the shouting of weapons were loud. The soldiers on both sides desperately waved the blades in their hands, and the cavalry who fell off their horses were instantly submerged by the boundless iron hooves and turned into a puddle of minced meat!

Liu Qianfan was anxious to break through the interception of the Song army in front of him, so the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand was like a dragon rampaging among the Song army, and everywhere he passed was full of casualties and miserable.

These are the elites of the Battle Cloud Iron Cavalry, and any person's force value can be a general in the army, but under Liu Qianfan's Fang Tian Painting Halberd, he will eventually become an outlaw.

However, just when Liu Qianfan's killing was unhindered, a young golden hammer general urged the horse to gallop.

Liu Qianfan naturally didn't know that this Golden Hammer junior was a big bag, but the next confrontation with each other made Liu Qianfan unforgettable for life!
