Six, eight, eight, and kill to the slag
Then Gangyi heard Huyak's roar: "What are you guys still doing in a daze? Hurry up and get this wall up for me! ”
With the concerted efforts of everyone, it was just a cup of tea, and the towering stone wall had been smashed, and after a few months, Fortitude finally saw the scene outside.
Stone dust splashed everywhere, and he squinted his eyes resolutely and walked out slowly.
The courtyard outside was already full of soldiers. And the guards who had guarded him before knelt tremblingly to the side, and they were all taken up, not even daring to raise their heads.
They also knew who Fortitude was, and they also knew how rebellious their errand was, and when the news of Amin's death came, they were already desperate. It was Huyak who came with his troops, but he only scolded a few words, and these people took off their armor and weapons one after another, just to avoid death.
Huyak's face was full of excitement, and he suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted: "Welcome to the general!" ”
Behind him, the Jurchen soldiers fell to their knees and shouted in unison: "Welcome to the general!" ”
The excitement and excitement on their faces are not fake, even after Amin's intentional or unintentional weakening over the past year, the influence of Fortitude in Haixi Jurchen is still great.
Resolute clenched his fists and exhaled deeply, this feeling of being in charge of the world has not been seen for a long time!
He laughed happily.
"Get up!" Fortitude said loudly.
"General Xie!" The crowd rose one after another.
"Rise up, you too!" Seeing that the original guards were still kneeling in place, a trace of fierceness flashed in Gangyi's eyes, but there was a gentle smile in his mouth.
"General. They? Hu Yake was stunned and said.
"Imprison me. That was what Amin commanded, and they were just doing what they were told. but innocent people, and there is no need to punish them. Resolute paced in front of those people, bowed his head, and said, "Now I will give you a chance to atone for your sins, and from today onwards, be my personal guard, are you willing?" ”
These people were ashamed and excited in their hearts, and many of them were crying, crying and shouting: "Thank you for the kindness of the general." Thank you, General Ende! ”
"Okay, what's the cry! Get up! Resolute's face was pale.
His ability to win people's hearts is really wonderful.
Hu Yake stepped forward, with tears in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "General, what are we going to do now?" Amin is dead, and the army of Wu Yi has besieged the city. ”
"Who's the city guard now?" Resolute asked with squinted eyes.
"Rakshen." Huyak Road.
"It's him." Gangyi sneered: "There is really no one under Amin. Does he know you're coming? ”
"I don't know."
"Let's go meet him." Resolute wave of his hand.
The entire Jiahe Weizhong was quiet, after the news spread. Huyak ordered all the people to stay at home and not go out. At intervals in the streets, a few soldiers stood on guard. I don't know how many people peeked out through the crack in the door and watched. Waiting.
Suddenly, a rapid sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of Jiahewei, and Hu Yake led more than a hundred people to drive towards the mansion of the town guard general.
Fortitude approved a light armor. The white hair is sluggish, but it has a majestic and dignified taste.
Hu Yake shouted as everyone rode their horses: "The resolute general is here." The resolute general is here! ”
The Han slaves and wild Jurchens who later surrendered did not react, and those Jurchen soldiers heard this. Seeing the fortitude with his own eyes, he was excited and joyful in his heart, and he knelt on the ground one after another. Everywhere I went, there was a tsunami of cheers.
The resolute face was a little gloomy.
Just now, along the way, Hu Yake had already told Wu Yijun about his current strength, and he also made Gangyi realize the strength of Wu Yijun. He didn't expect that Wu Yijun had grown to this point, and a news that worried him even more was that there were few Jurchen soldiers in the city, and even fewer wild Jurchens, but there were 15,000 Han slave soldiers.
He originally thought that Wu Yijun was only good at defending the city, neither good at field battles nor good at attacking cities, so that he could still deal with Wu Yijun with the defenders, and once Wu Yijun could not attack for a long time, he would naturally retreat. But now it seems that this is a dream, a few days ago, I am afraid that it is not that Wu Yi's army will not be able to capture the city, but that he deliberately did not attack, surrounded the point to send reinforcements, and led Amin to be fooled.
Wu Yi's army is strong, the troops outside the city are combined for dozens of miles, the people in the city are panicked, and the soldiers are weak, but how to do it?
Hu Yake's eyes were full of confidence and admiration: "Since learning of Amin's death, Lakshen has been hiding in the mansion to drink and have fun, and now the people in the city are panicking, but since you have come out, the general is naturally a morale boost, and those men and dogs outside may not be without a fight." ”
He was full of confidence, but fortitude was only a wry smile.
Although he was regarded by many Hercynian Jurchens as a god-like figure, he was still a man after all. If you want to hold the sky with one hand, you have to have some capital in hand.
Soon arrived at the town guard general's mansion, but saw that the gate of the mansion was open, people came and went, and everyone was panicked, as if something big had happened. There were bursts of crying and screaming in the house, but a few guards at the door gathered together and whispered.
"What's going on? So rude, don't you know that the general is coming? Huyak was displeased and shouted, "What about Lakshen? Tell him to come out and knock on the general! ”
The guards looked at each other, and as soon as they heard that Gangyi was coming, they knelt on the ground inside and outside the mansion, and one of the guards said with a sad face: "If you go back to your lordship, Master Lakshen is him, he is dead!" ”
"Oh, dead." Before Hu Yake came back to his senses, he replied lightly, and then almost jumped up from his horse: "What? Is Laxin dead? How did he die? How could he die? ”
Resolute waved his hand: "Hu Yake, you are still so dry, let them talk in detail." ”
The guard said it again, and the two of them understood the reason, and they couldn't help but laugh a little.
It turned out that after hearing the news of Amin's murder today, Lakshin returned to the mansion and drank heavily, crying while drinking. It's like a madman. When I was half drunk, I went to those women to vent my desires. He was already an extremely cruel man, and his temperament changed dramatically after drinking. Strangled a woman to death, and then threw another girl who was no more than thirteen years old onto a pillar and broke her head.
After some venting, the alcohol surged up, and he lay on the ground and fell asleep.
If it was before, after those women were ravaged by him, they only dared to hide to the side and cry lowly, not even louder, so as not to wake him up and provoke him to be beaten and scolded.
It turned out to be a woman who had just been sent yesterday. But his temperament was extremely strong, and he already had the idea of death in his heart, and when he saw Lakshin asleep, he gritted his teeth, raised the weapon he put aside, and smashed it on his head!
This smash is a burst of brains,
In many things, the reason why people are cowardly is actually the lack of a leader. The other women were led by her. New hatred and old hatred came to my heart, and anger arose from my heart to my guts, and I picked up the tables and stools around me, everything that could be used. Slammed it down.
When the guards outside heard the movement and broke in, Lakshin was already a mess of flesh, barely able to make out his figure.
Everyone panicked. Lakshin's mother-in-law knelt beside the corpse and wept and ordered the women to be tied up. It's going to be killed.
is a dignified general, but he is so dead. It's really jaw-dropping, but it also feels extremely ridiculous.
"This Lakshen, it's really ......" Huyak shook his head, not knowing what to say.
Resolute eyes through the doorway, fell on the dozen or so women who were tied up with flowers, they were disheveled, although they were tied strongly, but they were all fearless, such an awe-inspiring posture, Resolute looked at it and was slightly shocked in his heart.
"Let them go."
The guards were stunned, their movements slowed down, and Gangyi's face immediately sank: "Why, didn't you hear what I said?" ”
"The great general forgives the sins, the great general forgives the sins!" The guards were horrified and quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Resolute waved his hand, and as if they had been pardoned, they went to untie the ropes from the women's bodies.
"What do you do?" A shrill cry was heard, and a middle-aged woman with a fat body and ugly body and a full of bells and whistles rushed out of the hall and shouted at the guards.
Huyak whispered, "This is Lakshin's mother-in-law. ”
"I know, she's Amin's cousin, and if you count it, you have to call me uncle." Before the resolute words fell, the woman saw him, and immediately overjoyed, rolled over with a round body, and shouted: "Uncle, these little sluts have killed Lakshin, you have to make the decision for me......"
"Take her down too."
Gangyi said in disgust, and several guards immediately came up and dragged her to the house, leaving behind scolding all the way.
Resolute turned back to Hu Yake and said: "I have issued a notice and issued an order to the whole city, Lakshen has been lawless, cruel to the people, and has been punished." From today on, no Jurchen soldiers are allowed to torture and kill Han people at will. ”
"Yes!" Hu Yake was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly responded.
He understands that the enemy is at present, and fortitude is beginning to win people's hearts.
And at this moment, suddenly there was a sharp roar in the sky that tore through the air, and then, there was a violent and huge impact sound, making a loud rumbling sound, and the ground shook violently, and the entire Jiahewei seemed to tremble.
Many people were taken aback and panicked.
In the distance, there were loud shouts from the city wall, mixed with screams.
For this business, Fortitude is extremely familiar, and his face changed at the moment: "Wu Yi's army has attacked the city!" ”
Before he could finish speaking, another sharp whistling sound came.
This is the terrifying sound of Wu Yijun's shells tearing through the air.
In the second shelling, it is possible that Wu Yijun raised the muzzle of the cannon a little, and after making adjustments, the firing range was longer, and many shells fell in the city.
The barracks of the houses hit by the shells, some of them broke a big hole, and some of them collapsed directly, and after hearing the news of the resolute comeback, many soldiers were rushing to this side, but they did not expect the shells to fall on their heads.
I don't know how many people were stoned to death.
After Wu Yijun was fully recuperated and regained his strength, he finally started a frantic attack.
At this time, outside the city, it was an extremely magnificent scene.
About seven or eight hundred meters away from the city, countless cannons lined up in a row, as far as the eye could see. It's boundless. Each cannon was about a foot apart from each other, and the entire artillery line. It turned out to be half a circle around Jiahewei.
The whole section of the Jiahe Weibei city wall, the north half of the Jiahe Weidong city wall. The northern half of the western city wall, in this long area that lasted for more than ten miles, was all shrouded by the cannons of the Wu Yi army.
There are thousands of dense doors, and people are all scalp fried after watching it.
One artillery thousand households, three complete infantry corps, two infantry guards, a total of 1,160 medium sample Franc cannons, 1,250 small sample Franc cannons.
All the cannons are carefully crafted copper with thick wrought iron on the outside. It is more wear-resistant, and it is not easy to blow up, the range is longer, and it looks more powerful.
With more than two thousand four hundred cannons combined, in this era, it is definitely a long-range force that is terrifying to the extreme.
Unparalleled, no force can match.
More than 2,400 cannons were placed side by side outside the city, which was extremely spectacular.
More than 2,000 cannons appeared on the battlefields of East Asia in the 16th century, and it is simply the most beautiful flower in the world. The most dazzling miracle.
This is the crystallization of the highest end of human civilization.
Lian Zining has finally decided to attack the city, and this time, he wants to play big!
Wu Yijun is not bad at attacking cities, on the contrary. They are probably the best siege troops in the world today.
They had a huge number of artillery, a lot of money to sustain the constant bombardment, and he had a mortal pawn - not even the latter. As long as those cannons continue to bombard, it is enough to blow the opponent's city into ruins. There is no need to climb the city wall at that time. Just step on the stone and crush bricks all over the ground and walk in.
The outside world thinks that Wu Yijun is not good at attacking cities, but it is just because there have been few opportunities to attack cities. This time, Lian Zining had already made up his mind to use Jiahewei to practice his hands well, so that his soldiers could gain more experience in siege warfare.
It is even more necessary to show his own strength - to the Jurchens, to the King of Liang, to all the forces under the jurisdiction of the general of Liaobei, and even to the Wu Yijun himself!
If Gangyi learns that Jiahewei, who he regards as a strong city, has become the target of Wu Yijun's training, he is afraid that he will be angry and die.
The artillery in charge of manipulation alone is in the tens of thousands.
Lian Zining stood on top of the high watchtower, standing in the wind, his cloak raised high.
Behind him, King Liang stood solemnly, but there was a trace of excitement in his eyes.
He has long heard that Wu Yi's artillery is sharp and unparalleled in the world, but he has always heard of it and never seen it, but today he finally has a chance.
"Command, let's launch!" Lian Zining squinted his eyes and looked at the wall of Jiahewei for a while, and commanded lightly.
"Yes!" The herald below flew away, and the order was quickly delivered.
With an order, the group of people started to follow, the gunners lit the fuse, there was a loud bang, the earth seemed to be trembling, countless loud noises converged together, King Liang's body trembled, and he almost didn't fall from the watchtower, and Cui Wanrong behind him hurriedly helped him.
It's just that the faces of the two of them are extremely bad, a miserable white, they have almost been shocked to the point that they have lost their hearing, they are completely silent, they only feel that there is a shaking in front of them, as if the picture has been shattered.
They were shocked in their hearts, is this the strength of Wu Yijun? Is this the artillery of the Wu Yi Army? Under the sound of thousands of cannons, there is really a feeling that the sky is falling apart!
In the smoke of gunpowder, countless cannonballs smashed towards the walls of Jiahewei.
This round of firing resulted in 1,160 shells weighing 10 taels with a diameter of 3 inches and 1 cent, and 1,250 shells weighing 5 taels and a diameter of about 2 inches.
The lead weighing ten taels smashed on the city wall, and immediately smashed the heavy bluestone city wall of Jiahewei into a basin-sized hole, and the fine stone powder fell down one after another, with the hole as the center, dozens of huge cracks spread out to the surroundings. smashed on the battlements of the city wall, smashed on the women's wall, and immediately smashed the battlements to crack, and then with a loud bang, it became a piece of rubble.
Although the power of the five-two-nine-inch small Franc cannon is smaller, it is also not to be underestimated.
Just one round of shelling smashed the city wall to pieces.
The soldiers guarding the walls were already covered in heavy shelling, and I don't know how many people were hit by the splashed stones, and the most unfortunate ones were those who were directly hit by the shells. In front of the iron ball, which has been endowed with tremendous kinetic energy and has become red due to rapid friction, the body's defense power is almost negligible.
A soldier was grazed in the arm, and the whole arm was immediately broken into two parts, and the white stubble and bright red flesh exposed by the wound were immediately scorched black, and the red blood vessels and white tendons of the wound were twisted by the high temperature, like dying earthworms. And the person behind him was even more unlucky, he was hit in the chest by the inexhaustible cannonball, and immediately smashed a large hole the size of a bowl in his chest, the sternum was shattered, and the internal organs in the chest and abdomen also turned into charcoal in an instant, and he died directly without snorting.
After killing two people, the cannonball seemed to be unwilling, and it smashed the thigh of an unlucky ghost again, and then it fell to the ground.
The tower at the north gate was hit by dozens of shells, and in an instant it was smashed with holes, the windows were smashed, and several pillars that were used as load-bearing were also broken, and finally collapsed with a bang.
The entire city wall, after the shelling, was already in ruins, full of broken walls, broken human bodies everywhere, and hardly a living person could be seen. (To be continued.) )
