Wushu and the others only suffered from the pond fish, but the Jin soldiers who carried the catapult forward were directly hit. Even if it wasn't hit, it hurt in the eardrums because of the sound of artillery around it.

Many people subconsciously run backwards.

Seeing that some Han soldiers had fled, Wushu picked up bows and arrows, and shot down a few fleeing people with a few arrows.

Wanyan Zongwang also sent a team of golden soldiers from behind to kill the fleeing people.

The Han people who carried the catapult saw that it would be death to flee back, so they could only bite the bullet and carry the catapult again.

There is no way, only the Han people can play catapults.

The Jurchens have a lot of strength, but it is more difficult to get a group of savages to learn to fire together than to get the Jurchens not to kill.

The artillery on the gate kept throwing out, blowing up one catapult after another, and the sky outside the gate was full of snowflakes.

Finally, a catapult moved into range, and Jin Bing immediately began to throw stones the size of a human head, trying to suppress the catapult that was closed.

"Bang"

A stone smashed on the battlements, sending the battlements several feet wide into the air, and one of the soldiers behind was unable to dodge, and was crushed to the ground, screaming.

As the number of catapults in which the Jin soldiers began to fire cannons, the casualties on the gate gradually increased.

However, the power of the cannon is much greater than that of the stone cannon, unless the stone cannon hits the catapult, it will basically not hurt the catapult, and the cannon only needs to fall a few feet near the catapult, it is enough to blow up the catapult.

In less than half an hour, all the catapults outside the pass were blown up.

Wushu ran back stupidly, and said to the second brother Wanyan Zong: "The Han people's artillery is powerful, but our stone artillery can't do it." ”

Wanyan Zongwang turned his head to look at the mountains to the west, and said with a smile: "The artillery of the Han people will never run out, I have asked people to go to Runzhou to recruit 10,000 people to cut down trees, and the craftsmen in the camp are making catapults day and night, I don't believe that their artillery will not be exhausted." That's it for today, call it up. ”

"I'm afraid that before the Han artillery runs out, our gunners will die."

Wanyan Zongwang said with a smile: "Tomorrow I will start using the Bohai Navy as a gunner." The Han deceived and returned fire with artillery. ”

After speaking, Yan Zongwang turned his horse and walked to the camp.

Zhang Qing saw the retreat of the Jin soldiers outside the pass, and was puzzled: "Are the Jin people only going to attack the city with catapults?" ”

Yue Fei said: "We have artillery, and the other siege equipment was blown up as soon as it approached the city wall. ”

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "There is gunpowder to defend the city, and what kind of siege equipment is useless." Unless they also have gunpowder. ”

Yue Fei said: "Digging tunnels can also dig down the city wall, although it is difficult to dig in this season, but you still have to beware of them digging tunnels." ”

Zhang Qing nodded and said: "I have asked people to listen to the movement underground, okay, let's go down to the city, the Jin people should not attack the city today." ”

The battlefield has calmed down for the time being. However, saving the wounded, repairing catapults, and preparing artillery, the Jin people rushed to make catapults, prepared artillery stones, and were nervously preparing for war inside and outside the gates.

The next day, the sun had climbed the mountain, and the Jin soldiers rushed out of the camp and came to Yuguan.

In just half a day and one night, Jin Bing built hundreds of catapults. In fact, the process of catapults is not complicated. Moreover, the Han people in the north also learned from the Han people in the Central Plains to standardize production and then assemble, if the Jin people obtained the Han craftsmen of Nanjing Road, it would not be difficult to build thousands of catapults overnight. It is rare to train qualified gunners, and the longer the range, the more people need to be towed. And these people must be able to work together to ensure the accuracy of the cannon.

It was another artillery bombardment, and the Jin army had the catapults advance to a distance of 100 paces and began to throw stone cannons.

Stones the size of a human head whistled and flew up. Bang slammed into the wall, stirring up a puff of dust, and more on the clearing.

Zhang Qing and the three of them also saw something strange.

Yue Fei looked at the Jin soldiers under the city who were firing their cannons in a panic during the artillery bombardment. "They are not specialized gunners, and yesterday's siege gunners are estimated to be almost dead." ”

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "Such gunners, let them fight for a few days, they may not be able to collapse the city wall." ”

Zhu Tong thought for a while and said, "Could it be that Jin Bing wants to consume our artillery?" ”

"Huh"

Zhang Qing smiled contemptuously and said, "Such gunners don't need artillery anymore, and order all gunners to change to stone cannons." ”

Wushu was still monitoring the Bohai Navy in the front army, and when he saw that the Han army suddenly changed to stone artillery, he ran back to the Chinese army on horseback, and said happily: "Second brother, the Han artillery seems to have run out." ”

Wanyan Zongwang shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, it may also be that the pressure on them from the Bohai Navy is too small." You see, there hasn't been a single cannon stone for half a day. Have them push the catapult forward until the cannon can reach the shut. ”

Wanyan Zongfu, the third son of Ah Guda next to him, was a little forgiving, and when he heard this, he said: "In the future, the archers of the Han people will be able to shoot them." ”

Wanyan Zongwang was unmoved, and waved his hand: "Let them go forward, first try if the Han people still have artillery, if there is no artillery, then let the Han army fire the artillery." ”

The vultures showed no mercy, and ran to the front of the formation, shouting, "Twenty steps further." ”

Bo Haijun, who had studied the cannon urgently yesterday, couldn't help but change color when he heard the words of the vultures.

A Bohai naval officer boldly said, "If you go any further, you will enter the range of the archers of the Liang army." Uh......"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was shot in the throat by an arrow from the vulture and fell to the ground.

Although the Bohai Navy had long been accustomed to the ferocity of the Jurchens, they still showed indignation at this time.

They have just fought against the constantly exploding artillery, and there is still some life, after all, the accuracy and density of the artillery are smaller than the bow and arrow, if you enter the range of the archers, under the cover of the rain of arrows, if you rush forward, you can rush through a few arrows, but if you stand there and fire the cannon and let the archers shoot, a few waves of arrows will pass, and you will inevitably die.

Seeing that no one was moving, Wushu shouted, "If you don't move forward, everyone will be executed." ”

The Jurchens in the back also raised their weapons one after another, as long as the Wushu gave an order, they would not hesitate to kill these Bohai Navy.

The Bohai Navy had long been frightened by the Jurchens, and when they saw the ferocious appearance of the Jurchens, some people immediately compromised and pushed the catapult forward.

With someone taking the lead, the rest of the people followed suit.

Zhang Qing saw that Jin Bing was still pushing the catapult forward, and shouted: "Archers prepare." ”

The range of the standard bow and arrow of the Liang soldiers and horses is 60 paces, but the range of the wall is several zhang high, and the range is also increased a lot.

When the golden soldiers came within range of the archers, waves of arrows poured down.

One by one, the Bohai Navy screamed and fell in the rain of arrows, and the Bohai Navy, which could still hold on under the artillery blow, finally collapsed, and no one wanted to stand there to accept the baptism of the arrow rain.

Of course, they knew that escaping to the back was a dead end. The murderous Jurchens would not give them a way to live, so they all rushed forward with shouts. Those who knew Chinese shouted surrender, and those who couldn't also threw away all the weapons on their bodies, so that the Han people could understand what they meant.

Seeing the Bohai Navy fleeing, Wushu howled and ordered the Jurchen soldiers behind him to shoot the Bohai Navy with bows and arrows.

Under the attack of artillery and arrow rain, there were less than 1,000 people left in the 5,000-strong Bohai navy, and then they were chased and killed by the Jurchen soldiers, and less than 300 people fled to the city, and the casualties were tragic.

Few soldiers and horses can afford such casualties. If it weren't for the Jurchen soldiers who kept threatening with butcher knives, the Bohai Navy would have fled, but after finding that there was no way out, the Bohai Navy finally defected.

Wushu was still hesitating to brave the rain of arrows to chase and kill the remaining Bohai Navy, when he suddenly saw several black lights shooting towards him from the city, and he didn't have time to turn his horse, so he could only pounce on the ground from the horse.

"Bang"

As soon as the Wushu pounced out, he heard the war horse behind him neighing and falling to the ground. Turning his head to look. An iron spear was less than a foot away, and two iron spears shot the war horse out of two bloody holes, and three iron spears landed on the other side.

The Wushu knew that this was the bed crossbow of the girder, and it was said that the range could reach nearly a thousand steps. So the whole army was arrayed two miles away. He was in the front army to supervise the formation, and he didn't let his soldiers get too close, so as not to be noticed by the Liang army, and shot him with a bed crossbow.

It's just that I didn't expect the pursuit of the Bohai Navy to get closer this time. was targeted by Liang Jun.

Wushu didn't dare to think about it, so he got up and ran around the bend to the back.

The pro-soldiers of the vultures also galloped back and forth in front of the vultures, disturbing Liang Jun's sight.

Liang Jun, who operated the bed crossbow on the city wall, released a few more arrows one after another. Didn't shoot the vultures, but just shot and killed the two pro-soldiers of the vultures.

Wushu ran back to the Chinese army and said to Wanyan Zongwang: "Second brother, do you want to send someone to kill those Bohai Navy." ”

Wanyan Zongwang shook his head and said: "They are all hiding under the city wall, if you want to kill them, I am afraid that many tribesmen's soldiers and horses will be killed and injured." ”

Wushu hated those Bohai Navy and let him flee in embarrassment, and said unwillingly: "If you don't kill them all, the other Bohai Navy and Han people will definitely follow and escape." ”

Wanyan Zongwang also hesitated, the military system of the Jin State was cruel, not to mention the Bohai Navy and the Han Army, even many girls and true tribes had complaints, but they were all shocked by the Wanyan tribe with killing. If he didn't chase and kill those Bohai navy today, maybe as soon as the war started tomorrow, the Bohai navy and the Han army would have fled.

Wushu said: "Even if you send a Mok man to shoot them, you won't be able to kill many people." ”

Although Wanyan Zongfu was a little more lenient, he also knew that he could not shake the morale of the army, and said, "Send a team of heavy infantry to shoot them." ”

Wanyan Zong saw that the third and fourth brothers all said this, so he also sent a mouke heavy infantry up.

After the Jin State conquered several cities of the Liao State and obtained the steel, they got some heavy cavalry and heavy armored infantry troops. The murderous Jurchens were undoubtedly demons on the battlefield with heavy armor, and no Liao soldiers could block their onslaught.

Today's hoplites, however, are meant to fend off the bows and arrows of the girders.

The Bohai Navy, who had fled under the city wall, saw the Jurchen heavy armor approaching, and knew their purpose, crying and begging the closed people to open the city gate for them and let them in.

Zhang Qing waved his hand and said, "Yue Fei, you take people down, open the city gate, and escort those soldiers to the back." ”

"Yes"

Yue Fei clenched his fists and strode towards the pass.

No one was worried that the Jurchens would take the opportunity to seize the gate, as long as the city kept throwing fire and thunder, it could cut off the soldiers and horses outside. Unless those golden soldiers under the city can rush to the pass, but hundreds of bare-handed people want to rush to the pass, it is almost impossible. Especially in the case of my father-in-law's self-leading troops, it can be said that it is completely impossible.

The Jurchens lived in a bitter cold land, almost everyone had brute strength, although they wore heavy armor, but they were not slow, but before they could enter the range of the archers on the city wall, they saw the city gate open, and the Bohai navy scrambled to squeeze in, and then was escorted to the back by the soldiers and horses of the Great Liang.

Seeing this, Wushu couldn't help but say: "Let the heavy armored infantry try it and see if they can grab the city gate, otherwise I don't know when we will be able to take Yuguan." ”

Wanyan Zongwang also felt that the plan of playing with the cannon with the Liang would not work, and if he forced the Bohai Navy or the Han Army to go up, I was afraid that they would flee directly. If the Jurchens were allowed to go up, the Jin Kingdom would not be able to bear such casualties. Thought about it for a moment. After Yan Zongwang nodded, "Let them rush up and grab the city gate." ”

The Jurchen soldiers were indeed more reliable than the Bohai Navy, and although they knew that there might be danger, they still rushed forward with a roar.

Zhang Qing saw the Jin army's heavy infantry rushing towards him, and said with a smile: "You don't need to close the city gate, the fire and thunder hand will block the city gate." ”

After the heavy infantry entered the range of the archers, the archers tentatively shot a round, most of the arrows could not be shot into the heavy armor, and a few were inserted in the heavy armor, and the shot was not deep, such injuries were almost negligible to the savages. Not a single wild man fell under the attack of the archers.

And then there's the fire thunderman's attack. There were still more than a dozen zhang away from the city gate, and the fire thunder hand began to throw down fire and thunder continuously.

In the face of gunpowder, the heavy armor was also completely vulnerable, and the closer ones were directly blown apart, and the farther ones were directly blown to the ground. Once the hoplites fell to the ground, they struggled as if the turtle had been turned over.

However, the Jurchens were not completely brainless, and when they saw that the people in front of them were blown down piece by piece, the people behind them scattered and rushed forward.

Under the intensive attack of the fire thundermen. There were actually a few Jurchens who went around to the city gate from the side, and when they saw that the city gate was close at hand, they howled happily.

This kind of wildness alone is not comparable to that of ordinary armies. But they didn't have long to be happy. I saw a cannon the size of a watermelon thrown down, and then one by one, only a flash of fire was seen, and it was torn to pieces. The one who was a little farther away only felt a strong force coming, and directly made a trapeze. There are several of them that have been overturned.

The loud explosion made the soldiers on the gate really stunned, and the continuous fire and thunder attacks also stopped.

Zhang Qing shook his head vigorously and leaned over to look down.

Directly in front of the city gate, a large pit was blown out. The middle is a few feet deep.

Although the Jurchens were not afraid of death, they felt the power of the artillery at close range, which still made them completely lose the mind to win, and their pace slowed down a lot.

The fire thunder hand that was closed also slowly recovered, and one by one the fire thunder was thrown accurately at the feet of the Jurchens.

The Jurchens were all wiped out, and there was no horn for retreat behind them, and the Jurchens did not escape, but they just changed from the beginning of the wild running to the mechanical death.

Zhang Qing saw that all the heavy infantry was wiped out, and he couldn't help but scold: "What a fucking beast, a meaningless death, and he didn't even withdraw his troops." ”

Zhu Tong said: "There are few Jurchens, and if they are not so ferocious, I am afraid they will not be able to defeat the Liao State." ”

Wanyan Zongwang looked at the annihilation of the heavy armored infantry army in front of him, and his heart was also dripping blood, there are few Jurchens, and all the men of the smaller tribes are just one Mouke, and the death of one Mouke is similar to the destruction of a small Jurchen tribe. But in order to stabilize the Bohai Navy and the Han Army, he also had to sacrifice Yimou to defeat the Jurchens. In the past two days, the Han army and the Bohai navy have suffered almost 5,000 casualties, and when it is the turn of the Jurchen soldiers, they can't go up and withdraw if they see something wrong.

Only being equally cruel to oneself can they be deterred.

Wushu was heartless, and said with annoyance: "The Han people's artillery is powerful, and they can't attack it if they have artillery." The catapult can't be rushed, and it can't rush in, how can we fight? ”

Wanyan Zongwang frowned and said, "Now we can only dig tunnels, dig down the city wall, and then we can rush in." ”

Wanyan Zongfu also said helplessly: "That's the only way, let those strong men who cut wood dig tunnels." ”

"Well, let's go back to the camp first, transfer them back, prepare the tools, and start again when the ground is softer in the afternoon."

Even if the fierce Jurchens were relieved to see the brothers of Yan Zongwang turn their horses back to the camp, Daliang's firearms were too powerful, and they were blown apart even if they wore heavy armor. They dared to face the tiger and leopard with their bare hands, but now they didn't want to face Liang Jun with a knife and gun.

Zhang Qing saw the Jin soldiers retreating, so the soldiers on the pass took turns to rest, and only one of the defenders on the pass was injured today, or Zhang Qing threw a cannon down, and was cut by the fragments of iron armor that exploded.

Just after lunch, there was another warning voice from the city.

Zhang Qing rode to the gate, saw the Jin soldiers coming in line again, and scolded: "These bitches still dare to come and send them to death." ”

As soon as he finished scolding, he saw the man behind him pushing a wooden cart wrapped in cowhide and coming forward.

The lieutenant in charge of the gunner came running and asked, "Do you want to open fire?" ”

Zhang Qing thought for a moment and said, "Wait a minute and see what they are going to do." ”

A wooden cart a few feet wide is not easy to aim at with a stone cannon, and it is too wasteful to use artillery. Although the imperial court urgently dispatched a lot of artillery, it was certainly not enough to use it to fight the people.

Zhang Qing saw that the wooden cart had been pushed to the range of the archers, and shouted, "Release the arrows." ”

At the sound of the order, countless sharp arrows flew up from the city like locusts, and rushed straight to the pass.

But the men all shrank into the wagons, and the arrows clanged down on the cowhide carts, and many arrows were stuck in the wagons, nailing the wagons like hedgehogs, but the wagons were still moving forward under the impetus of the men who had burrowed into them.

Zhang Qing saw that those wooden carts entered the attack range of the fire thunderman, and he was not stingy, but the fire and thunder were much more abundant than the artillery.

"Fire and Thunder Attack."

A volley of fire mines was thrown down, and most of the wooden carts that rushed ahead were shattered or overturned.

The vultures behind him saw that the wooden cart had advanced to the attack range of the fire thunderman, and then blew the horn.

The people who were huddled in the wooden cart also heard a loud bang in front of them, and many people were so frightened that they were all dregating and urinating, but the Jurchens' butcher's knives were held behind again, and they could only grit their teeth and move forward.

They also wanted to surrender to Daliang, but before leaving the camp, the Jurchens said that one person had escaped, and when they found it, the whole family was killed. If you can't find out who escaped, you will kill all the families of this group of people.

For the sake of the lives of the old and young in the family, they can only listen to the Jurchens. (To be continued......)
