Chapter 189: The Sound of Northern Expedition Cannons
Huang Xu couldn't help it in a hurry, after all, they sent troops to fight, and it was impossible for such heavy equipment to be pulled on the road, so he could only delay for two or three days. But in the past two or three days www.biquge.info Huang Xu has not been idle, and sent his soldiers to show off his might outside Tangzhou City every day, repeatedly putting pressure on the Jin people in the city, and also firing arrows into the city every day, shooting many letters of persuasion to surrender, and persuading the Jin army in the city to surrender quickly.
Shifting Assassin Pua climbed to the top of the city every day to check the defense of the defenders, and looked at the Song army outside with a prosperous army, and couldn't help but be worried.
He still looks down on the Song people from the bottom of his bones, and thinks that the Song people are nothing to fear, now he just wants to take advantage of the danger of others, he has mainly followed the Mongolian army to fight in the Tongguan area over the years, and he is really afraid of the Mongolian army, but for the Song army, he still has the old idea, thinking that the Song army is just a rabble, but when he saw the situation of the Song army, he gasped, the current situation of the Song army greatly exceeded his expectations, he did not expect that in just a few years, the Song army has grown to such an extent, which made him worry about the future of war...
As soon as he arrived in Tangzhou, he presided over the military affairs here, and repeatedly strengthened the defense of the city wall, although the two armies were about the same in terms of strength at present, but in terms of strength, he also knew that the Jin army in Tangzhou was far inferior to the Song army outside the city. Therefore, no matter how the Song army provoked outside the city, he resolutely ignored it, never thought of going out to fight the Song army, and ordered a curfew in the city to confiscate all the letters of surrender that the Song army shot into the city.
On the fourth day after Huang Xu arrived in Tangzhou, the Song army was finally ready to attack the city, placing all kinds of siege equipment outside the city, and the whole army went out of camp and lined up outside the west gate.
A bronze cannon and iron cannon were pushed out of the camp by the Song army, until pushed to five hundred steps outside the city gate, a group of artillery high-spirited around their artillery, nervously busy, since the artillery, the mode of siege has changed, the Song army outside the city has a lot less throwing cars, suppressing the firepower is basically handed over to the Shenwei artillery is responsible, at the same time in order to make up for the lack of artillery, the loyal army is also equipped with some crossbows, to supplement the firepower.
Shifting the stabbing Pua nervously lying on the city wall to observe the layout of the Song army outside the city, when he saw the cannon outside the city near the city wall, he was a little confused, he had never seen this thing, and he didn't know what the use of these strange things pushed out by the Song army was, but he heard a little about the Song army began to use a very powerful firearm, so that the Mongols suffered a lot, but whether these things he saw today were the rumored secret killing weapons of the Song army, and the stabbing Pua was not clear. When the Song army set up a position outside the city, the Jin people in the city were very nervous, and the Jin army on the city wall ran back and forth, shouting and shouting for the soldiers to prepare for defense...
Huang Xu stood under the banner of the Chinese army, seeing that all the armies under his command were already in place, Huang Xu bared his teeth and smiled: "Then let us fire the first shot of the Northern Expedition!" ”。
Shifting Pua suddenly saw the strange things outside the city, and suddenly spewed out puffs of smoke and flames, and then heard a cacophony in the air.
The huge sound of "boom ......" soon spread to the city of Tangzhou City, and everyone was frightened by the sudden roar, and hurriedly looked out of the city...
As a result, they saw clouds of smoke rising from the city walls and gates, and the city walls under their feet also shook violently. A battlement was directly hit by an iron bullet, the city bricks of the battlement immediately scattered and collapsed, standing behind the battlement several golden soldiers were caught off guard, and then they were knocked out by the scattered rocks, a golden soldier was directly hit by the iron bullet in the chest, although the iron bullet was blocked by the battlement, but it was still castrated, how can the human body fight such a thing! As a result, this unlucky golden soldier immediately sprayed blood mist and flew out, falling directly from the city wall to the hard ground in the city, and then looking at his corpse, it was already miserable, the entire chest cavity was all broken, and the corpse was like a ragged rag doll that had been torn apart, and the dead could not die again...
The whistling cannonballs immediately began to wreak havoc on the west gate of Tangzhou City, and the thick wooden city gate was immediately punched out of several holes the size of several basins, and sawdust flew in the hole of the city gate.
"Damn, so many Shenwei cannons are firing together, it's really scary, it makes Lao Tzu a little tinnitus!" Huang Xu used one finger to pinch his buzzing ear, and muttered and scolded...
The rest of the Song army watched their Shenwei cannon with great interest, although they didn't dare to applaud loudly, but they all happily waited for Huang Xu to give orders, they used to watch the Shenwei cannon fire outside Zaoyang City, but it was the first time to see the enemy bombardment like today.
The morale of the Song army was once again raised a lot in the roar of artillery, and everyone watched the frightened Jin people running around in panic on the city wall, waiting to set off...
"Steady! Steady! Don't panic! Hold it for me! "Shifting Thorn Pua lay on the battlement while repeatedly shrinking his neck, while shouting loudly to let the golden soldiers under his command not mess up, to be honest, Shift Thorn Pua was also scared, he has never seen such a battle, the other party does not need to throw the car, can launch such a powerful thing, hit the bricks and stones on the city wall, and suddenly the Jin army was in chaos, which made the Shifting Thorn Pua very shocked, but in the end he is also a person who has gone through a lot of battles, although shocked, but still calmer than a group of people, quickly ordered to bomb the panicked gold soldiers on the city wall...
"Don't wait! Besiege! After Huang Xu finished plucking out his ears, he waved his horsewhip towards Tangzhou City, and ordered loudly.
Countless Song troops who were waiting for the day were under the order of their respective officers, and after shouting "kill the ......" in unison, they rushed towards Tangzhou City.
Outside the city, rows of half-cut boats that were defenseless against arrows were held above the heads of the Song army, carrying bags of sand and dirt and rushing towards the moat......
"Shoot the arrows! Hurry up and release the arrows, don't let the Song army get close! Throwing the car and sending stones, you must not let the Song army fill the river! "Piercing Pua, who braved the constant artillery fire from outside the city, shouted hysterically, commanded the golden soldiers in the city to fire arrows to block the enemy, and threw the carts at the same time to launch a defensive operation.
Although the Jin army was frightened, under the strong order of the assassin Pua, they still launched a counterattack according to his orders, and the arrows on the city rained down like a rain, and they were nailed to the half of the boat above the head of the Song army.
Moreover, some of the Jin army's throwing carts also began to be launched under the operation of the strong men, and stones flew out of the city wall and landed on the other side of the moat.
It's a pity that the Jin army is disheartened, although the arrows and stones are fired, but the hit rate is really pitiful, the car and the stone are thrown by luck, accurate shooting is impossible, and the people who operate the artillery have been replaced by the newly recruited strong men, these strong men have not undergone any training, the strength can not be used together, the artillery stones are even more inaccurate, and even some stones have not even flown over the moat, so they plopped and fell into the river, and the angry people who threw the car scolded the mother, but there was no way.
