【2nd Update】

The pressure on the three thousand Han soldiers was as good as the first encounter that day, and even better than a lot. The siege equipment scattered on the snow field gave people more pressure than following the surrounding cavalry.

Jiajian Bingli is the biggest reliance of the Han people, and the thunderbolt cannon smashed many western thief cities, and the eight bull crossbows shot down the first general of the northern captives. And whether it is Western Xia or Northern Liao, they can't create similar weapons. You can only rely on the horse to flee back and forth. The weapon superiority that far surpasses that of the barbarians of the Quartet is the greatest reliance on the self-confidence of many soldiers.

The previous temptation had already decided that the Black Khan army would not be able to defeat the Song army in a head-to-head battle. Many soldiers already felt that victory was at hand. But now as soon as the siege vehicles of the Black Khan came out, they all felt the danger that was imminent.

The ease of eating in the morning was gone, and now the atmosphere in the camp was terrifyingly oppressive. Only a small number of veterans have experienced the era when the official army has not yet risen and can only fight with the enemy with their lives. Only in theirs can the whole military be able to hold its ground. They are now all military attachés at the head of the capital and the head of the team. Although the official position is not high, he is like a father and a brother, and he is the object of the lowest level of soldiers. These veterans are the real backbone of an army. As long as they are stable, this army is still a strong army that can fight and is reassuring.

With a large number of veterans of a hundred battles, Wang Sunchen did not worry about morale. And it's quick to see which is better and which is worse.

The Black Khan cavalry, which was at the forefront, was about to reach the effective range of the Divine Arm Bow and Thunderbolt Cannon.

But they did not stop, but attacked the fortress more. It looks like the intention is to get more artillery carts and bed crossbows into the optimal firing range.

"Say hello first."

Wang Sunsin's order was immediately translated into reality.

Leaning on the thunderbolt cannon on the east side of the walled gate, the throwing rod was pulled down and loaded with stone bullets. The mallet hit the stuck lever hard, and the broken wedge raised the pole high. Round stone projectiles the size of a human head slashed a perfect parabola and flew towards the enemy troops outside the camp. The place where the stone bomb fell was a cannon truck.

On the battlefield, thousands of people widened their eyes as they watched the stone projectile rise and fall. Some even held their breath, so nervous that they couldn't help themselves.

It made many people sigh out loud. The cannon was only three feet apart and did not hit the cannon truck. However, it was right in the chest of one of the cavalrymen on the side of the artillery cart. The cuirass immediately dented, and even the ribs in the back were broken. The cavalryman spurted blood from his mouth, and immediately fell off his horse, one foot stuck in the stirrup, and the frightened horse dragged and jumped wildly.

This is not a pity.

Wang Sunsin understood that the first shot was so close to the target that he didn't even need to make any adjustments in the next round, as long as he threw two more times, he would definitely hit the cannon truck.

Luck it.

A number of Black Khan soldiers were thinking.

Otherwise, how could the first blow be so close to the catapult? There were many soldiers who had been artillery shooters, and they didn't think catapults could be so accurate. If you want to be accurate, only the ballistae that come up at the same time are qualified.

But soon, they realized that they were wrong.

The catapults in the camp of the Maqin people, one after another, were fired one after another, the targets were the catapults that had just been almost hit, and it was extremely surprising that their shots did not deviate from the correct direction, and finally on the fourth blow, the flying stone bullets hit the supporting wooden frame heavily, so that the heavy throwing rod fell down and became a pile of broken wood.

Wang Sunchen snorted coldly, but the soldiers in the rear were not as reserved as him, cheering loudly, and the previously oppressive atmosphere disappeared in an instant.

With this fire, the remaining Thunderbolt guns also began their first firing. Without exception, the shells they threw either missed or hit. The six thunderbolt guns only fired two rounds, and the larger number of siege equipment collapsed in one fell swoop. This is the largest artillery truck, and it is natural that it has become the best target.

Such a result, in the eyes of the Black Sweat people, is as if someone has poured a basin of cold water on it in such weather. Originally, he planned to rely on the superiority of siege equipment to capture the last barbarian city in one fell swoop. But before the siege began, it was smashed with stones.

The wavering of the morale of the army is obvious, even the most powerful and numerous catapults cannot win against the other side, what else can they rely on?

Wang Sunsin was smiling as he watched a few thunderbolts take the roll call of the artillery trucks on the opposite side. The six thunderbolts were fired in a row, and the Black Khan artillery was completely too late to move and dodge, let alone shoot back, in the whistling stone bullets. There is always a stone projectile that can hit the enemy in a single shot, and if the battle continues, there will soon be no artillery carts left on the opposite side.

Under the thunderbolt cannon, nearly twenty people served each stone cannon. The artillery team that commanded them was shouting and shouting, methodically directing the soldiers to select stone bullets, adjust the counterweight, and then load the artillery cart and shoot the stone bullets out of the gun.

The power of the thunderbolt is not in its distance and weight, but in its accuracy. If you can't hit the enemy, no matter how far the range is, no matter how far the artillery hits, it can only scare people. The difference in quality can only be offset by quantity, and then pray for luck.

The length of the throwing arm, the counterweight, the position and height of the artillery cart, and the weight of the cannon are calculated to give the range. It is also easy to change the distance of the projection by adjusting the counterweight or the different amounts of artillery. Although it is said that it will not be accurate to the level of the target, the landing point and the target are basically not far apart, and most of them can be within a dozen steps.

The numbers and calculations are in the hands of each team in charge of the Thunderbolt launch. And they all have a shooting table in their hands, when they command the artillery team to operate the thunderbolt gun, most of the time, there is no need to make temporary calculations, as long as the data of the artillery truck is compared with the shooting table, after a few cannons are test-fired, make the necessary adjustments, and the artillery can be accurately fired.

The teams of these artillery teams are all highly trained, and any of them can read, write, and arithmetic. is called Team Zheng, but in fact, he is holding the head of the capital and even the deputy commander, and some are even foreign officials. If you are promoted a few more levels, you will be able to enter the ranks of the internal officials who are from the ninth grade.

Many of the training of these artillery teams were carried out under Wang Sunchen or Zhao Long. After Li Xin was transferred to Hebei, there was very little similar training - what could be done in the Western Army, but it was inconvenient for the Hebei Army.

Accurate use is a hundred times more important than building a larger artillery truck. If you want to use it accurately, the quality of the gunners must come first. There are those who rely on talent, there are those who are deliberately trained, and there are even those who have mixed learning and training, and then they are trained.

Among them, it is natural that there is the most time-saving and more talent. Even if the enemy has the same weapon in his hand, in terms of use, without the assistance of the shooting table, he will not exert half of his strength, so there is nothing to fear.

Wang Sunsin's thunderbolt cannon stared at the opponent's artillery cart. One, two, then three, four, and soon the artillery trucks that were pushed over lost a small half under the offensive of the Song army. But at this point, they began to fight back.

The hard action on the snow finally came within range, and the Black Khans couldn't wait to start their revenge.

The cannon could not fire as fast as the Thunderbolt Cannon, but another siege engine was an eye-opener for Wang Sunsin, similar to a bed crossbow that fired stone projectiles. The speed of the launch is even comparable to that of a well-trained Thunderbolt team. Although it is not as powerful as the Thunderbolt and the Eight Bull Crossbow, it is already very impressive. The ejected stone bullet slammed into the fence with a click, breaking the wooden fence and sinking into the snowdrift behind.

With a few more volleys, the existing defence can quickly break a gap. However, they were too close, close enough to be within the firing range of the Divine Arm Bow.

At the sound of Wang Sunsin's order, hundreds of crossbows were fired at the same time, and the arrows were like clouds, and under one blow, a stone ballista lost all its guns. And the next blow, after only a few breaths, started again. Like rain washing over the ground, another stone ballista was mourning, and except for the soldiers with two large shields as cover, the other artillery men were shot into hedgehogs by the dense rain of arrows as long as they left the protection slightly. When moving behind the artillery cart, it is impossible to put on the armor that gets in the way, and when you encounter the arrows shot by the Divine Arm Bow, one or two will completely lose their combat effectiveness.

The exchange of artillery and arrows continued. With adequate defensive measures, the advantage of the exchange ratio was far in favor of the Song army.

The divine arm bows of the official army are concentrated in a very short period of time. Achieve maximum results with the least amount of consumption. If you are not a battle-hardened elite, you can't do this.

Cheers and shots alternated on the side of the Song army.

Wang Sunsin waited for the reaction of the opposing generals.

Can he send more elites? Will it attack again. After they are consumed, how many soldiers will be left in the Black Khans who can operate these equipment? Can he afford to lose these tens of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers?

The current situation is far from favorable to the Black Khans.

The Ghulam guards are used to hold the battle. Even the manager on the other side has no right to treat them as expendables. The situation is similar in Iqta. Together, 10,000 Ghulam and Iqta may be saved, but what about the other soldiers, how many are left after a battle of this level. Such a loss, even if it is placed in the forbidden army, is a nerve-wracking injury.

Fight the enemy on the battlefield of your choice, not the other way around.

Fight with a tactic that suits you, not the other way around.

Wang Sunsin's understanding of causing people but not causing people is these two items. And the steady commander of the Black Khan did it with him.

After the failure of the siege of the city with artillery carts and ballistas, it was another three days.

After a night of strong winds, the weather suddenly turned cold.

Wang Sunsin almost woke up from freezing. Walking out of the tent and looking at the clear night sky, he couldn't help but shudder.

If it were him, he would definitely be leaving at this time.

But there is a question, does the lord of the Black Khanate have enough tools to forgive a general who has worked for nothing?
