Chapter 421: The Rhythm of Finding Death
Setting up the Dingkun cannon at the forefront of the front line, which seems to be able to accurately bombard the city of Kaifeng, is actually against the laws of warfare, and what Wu Shaogang wants to do is nothing more than to completely destroy the morale of the Mongolian army.

The range at which the Dingkun cannon can exert its greatest power is three miles.
After the task of shocking the Mongolian army is completed, there is no need for the Dingkun artillery to stay at the forefront of the position.
When night just fell, the sergeants of the Dingkun army began to act, and all the Dingkun guns were transferred to the positions that had been prepared long ago, and there were still many specific requirements for the effective launch of the Dingkun guns, at least the place where the Dingkun guns were placed, it needed to be flat, and the Dingkun guns needed to be able to be stable, not tilted, and not shaken, so that they could be fired accurately.
Just when the soldiers of the Dingkun army transferred the Dingkun cannon, the Mongolian army in the city was also preparing, and they wanted to kill it.
The vast majority of the Mongolian sergeants were in favor of this decision, but they did not want to completely defeat the Song army, but hoped to take advantage of the chaos to escape, save their lives, and garrison the city, which was obviously hopeless.
With such a hope to kill, maybe it can't be said to be the worst decision, at the moment of life and death, the sergeant can burst out of the strongest power, after all, this desperate effort, is to save his own life, but Kaifeng Fucheng, obviously can't hold it, I believe that the sergeant who killed out, no one turned back, thinking about continuing to return to the city.
The prosperity of Kaifeng Mansion City is far more than many other cities, although it is said that it has been exploited over the years, but the foundation still exists, but unfortunately when it comes to the moment of life and death, the first thing that many sergeants think of is to save their lives.
What surprised many soldiers was that Boyan actually had to stick to the city and would not follow the rush out, and the more than 30,000 Mongolian soldiers stationed in the city were also divided into two parts, of which 20,000 were responsible for rushing out and disrupting the formation of the Song army, and the remaining more than 10,000 people were holding the city together with Boyan.
The sergeants guarding the city were naturally unwilling, but the commanders were all here to hold on, and these sergeants couldn't complain.
When the army assembles, there is always a sound, I am afraid that it will be discovered by the Song army outside, but Boyan doesn't care, he is already a lonely bet.
At the ugly moment, the scout noticed the abnormality in the city of Kaifeng Mansion.
Wu Shaogang got the report at the first time.
What happened in the city of Kaifeng Mansion and what actions the Mongolian army would take required Wu Shaogang to make a judgment in the shortest possible time and issue corresponding orders at the same time.
When Cai Siwei, Zhang Binghui, Zhang Jue, Zhang Shijie, Chang Mingquan and others came to the Zhongjun tent urgently, Wu Shaogang already had a smile on his face, and Hao Jing, Zhang Wenqian and others beside him also had a soothing face.
Seeing Wu Shaogang's expression, Cai Siwei and the others were relieved, they knew that Wu Shaogang had already made a judgment and decision.
Just as everyone was about to salute, Wu Shaogang waved his hand and spoke.
"The Mongolian army stationed in Kaifeng Fucheng is ready to trap the beast and fight, and the information detected by the intelligence department shows that they have little morale, because these sergeants have all participated in the battle of Henan Road, and all of them are defeated by our men, and I believe that the shadow left by the battle of Henan Road cannot be eliminated in a short period of time, and they are afraid of the Dingkun cannon."
"In the past few months, Boyan has sent a lot of spies, thinking about knowing the secret of the Dingkun cannon, but unfortunately they can't know it, this is the top secret information we keep, how can we let them know, the more mysterious the firearm, the more it can exert its power at the critical moment, so what the Dingkun cannon brings them is fear, and it is a fear that cannot be consumed."
"Yesterday we put the Dingkun cannon at the forefront of the front, the purpose is to hit the morale of the Mongolian army, presumably this arrangement, has made the Mongolian army have no intention of fighting, but Boyan is favored by Kublai Khan, is to do the last fight, I have thought about it, the way to do the last fight is to let the Mongolian soldiers stationed in the city come out, face to face with us, the two armies are mixed together, you can avoid the bombardment of the Dingkun artillery, this is probably the last straw that Boyan can grasp."
"Boyan's idea is good, if the Mongolian army is entangled with us, we will not be able to bomb ourselves by ourselves, so this is also the best way to resist the threat of Dingkun artillery, but unfortunately, Boyan is completely wrong."
"Cai Siwei, the army retreated five miles, let go of the open area outside the city, let the outside of the city of Kaifeng, become the cemetery of the Mongolian army, in the process of the Dingkun artillery bombardment, do not attack for the time being, even if the Mongolian army retreats towards the city, do not attack, I think a miracle will definitely appear at that time."
"The rest of the deployment remains the same, go and get ready, the battle is about to begin."
The order was given, and the soldiers began to evacuate quickly, but the banners and others remained in place to confuse the Mongolian army.
On the night of early winter, it was dark all around, except for the fire in the Song army camp opposite, the rest of the place was not clear, but the fire in the Song army camp was not very bright, and it looked like the Song army was resting.
Boyan on the city wall finally had a smile on his face.
It seems that the Song army is quite confident, after all, Wu Shaogang, the envoy of the Great Song Yunchuan Festival, has already released his words and took Kaifeng Mansion in one day, so the soldiers under his command also think that the capture of Kaifeng Mansion is just a piece of cake.
Song Jun's pride is Boyan's opportunity.
The position of the Song army was very quiet, which made Boyan have a slight doubt, but the mentality of letting go of the fight made him quickly forget about this, 20,000 soldiers had been prepared, and they were about to rush out from the south gate, there was nothing to hesitate.
At that time, the south gate was opened and the drawbridge was lowered.
The camp of the Song army still has no movement.
A hideous look had already appeared on Boyan's face, and he prayed in his heart that Song Jun would not make any movement at this moment.
The Mongolian sergeants who went out of the city took 10,000 cavalry as the vanguard, followed by 10,000 foot soldiers, and those who stayed in the city were all foot soldiers.
The black-pressed sergeants were arranged in a neat shape.
It was still pitch black, almost impossible to see, and the moon was completely hidden in the clouds.
When the cavalry wrapped in strips of cloth began to rush towards the camp of the Song army, a smile had already appeared on Boyan's face, he did not expect that he would definitely counterattack, and it actually had a very good effect, at least the Song army was not fully prepared.
"Boom, boom, boom...
The sound of cannons suddenly appeared, and when the iron ball with Mars flew over, Boyan's body instantly went limp, and if it wasn't for the guards around him hurriedly supporting him, he would definitely have collapsed on the city wall.
Whether it was the charging cavalry or the war horse under the sergeant's crotch, after hearing the sound of the cannon, they all turned their horses' heads and quickly withdrew in the direction of the city gate.
It's a pity that these cavalrymen forgot that there were 10,000 foot soldiers behind them.
The cavalry quickly collided with the foot soldiers, and the sound of cannons, screams, and the neighing of war horses appeared at the same time.
The whistling fireball rushed into the crowd, and the blood path appeared instantly.
The sky was still dark and gloomy, but with the iron ball with Mars, I could see the Mongolian army that was already in disarray, and even the officers who commanded the officers did not care about their own duties, turned their horses' heads, and desperately evacuated in the direction of the city gate.
The cavalry collided with the foot soldiers, blocking the way to evacuate, and the lucky ones who were at the end of the line saw that the situation was not right, turned around and galloped towards the city.
However, their luck was not particularly good, and the shells had already begun to extend outside the city gates.
Dingkun cannon is the dream of the Mongolian sergeant, the blood road of the cannonball, it has become a scene that many Mongolian soldiers will never forget in their lifetime, at this moment such a scene appears again, and it is even more tragic than the last time, after all, the attacking Mongolian army, the team is too dense, and the blood road created by each shell does not know how many Mongolian soldiers' lives are full.
There have been sergeants who have chosen to flee in the direction of the left and right wings, they have given up entering the city to hide, in fact, this kind of escape, basically there is not much meaning, once they evacuate to the left and right wings, waiting for them will be a large-scale encirclement and suppression of the Song army, but the sergeants have no other choice, even if they dismount and kneel and surrender at this moment, it has no effect, because the shells are whether you surrender or not.
The Dingkun cannon continued to roar, and very few of the Mongolian soldiers outside the city gate were able to evacuate to the city, and many more had completely given up resistance and were unwilling to return to the city.
Boyan, who was on the city wall, finally opened his mouth and shouted loudly, asking many soldiers to withdraw to the city, but unfortunately his shout was drowned out by the sound of artillery, and it was impossible for the soldiers to hear it.
Boyan's body trembled, it was difficult to control his emotions, he was once again defeated by Wu Shaogang, defeated by this mysterious Wu Shaogang, the people had long been prepared, waiting for the Mongolian army in the city to kill out, and the Mongolian army, which had suffered heavy losses, had not even had time to touch the Song army.
According to this situation, I am afraid that in less than a day, Kaifeng Mansion will not be able to defend it.
In desperation, Boyan was about to pull out the sword he was carrying several times, but he was held down by the guards around him, and finally the guards simply took away the sword from Boyan's waist.
The shelling continued, and the 20,000 Mongolian soldiers outside the city were completely chaotic, and some of the soldiers could enter the city, but they did not choose to enter the city first, but scattered and fled to the left and right wings, these soldiers were no longer thinking about escaping from the encirclement and suppression of the Song army, but from this terrifying iron ball.
Finally, the sound of the artillery stopped.
The Song army did not attack at the first time, and the open space outside the city had become very quiet, except for the occasional intermittent moaning sound.
Boyan had been helped off the city wall, and was supported by the guards to the Marshal's Mansion, and the sergeants guarding the city wall looked at the scene outside the city wall in horror, and couldn't help shaking. (To be continued.) )
