Chapter 246: Return to the Cannon

The soldiers who operated the throwing car had already taken off their shirts, each shirtless, shouting the trumpet, pulling the rope in their hands like crazy, and smashing stones frantically up and down the city wall of the West Gate. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

And the defenders here obviously did not give up the defense, Yu Guan flashed behind the female wall, constantly releasing arrows outside the city to prevent the Song army from attacking the city, and then look at the Song army outside the city, the casualties are not small at this time, although the soldiers are attacking the city very hard and very hard, but the number of casualties far exceeds the attack commanded by Huayue at the south gate, and the whole attack is a little messy, and there is no rule like the front division of the palace.

Gao Huaiyuan was a little angry, he had already ordered the troops to be collected, but he didn't expect Luo Zhuo to continue to attack the city as if he hadn't heard it, if it goes on, the physical strength of the soldiers will be overdrawn, once it is frustrated, the morale will be greatly hit, which is quite unfavorable for the next siege action, and may even create an opportunity for the enemy army, once they are in a hurry, if they take advantage of the chaos to go out of the city to attack the Song army outside the west gate, it is likely to break through the Song army's defense line, in that case, he will lose this battle!

So Gao Huaiyuan immediately slapped the horse's buttocks, and rushed towards the Song Junshuai, and the soldiers of Zhenjiang Mansion knew their identities as soon as they saw the clothes of Gao Huaiyuan and his guards, where did they dare to stop them, so Gao Huaiyuan rushed to Luo Zhuo's Chinese army after a while.

I saw that at this time, Luo Zhuo sat on a stone with a golden knife, threw off his shirt, and did not even put on his armor, just shirtless, revealing his tendons and flesh, and holding a single knife with blood in his hand, staring at the boss with bull's eyes, staring at the battle in front of him, and constantly scolding his subordinates for being incompetent, and there were several headless corpses in front of him, judging from the clothing, there were both soldiers and generals, but I don't know why they died here.

After Gao Huaiyuan arrived here, as soon as he pulled the reins of the horse, his yellow horse immediately stood up, and let out a sloppy neigh, which startled Luo Zhuo, who was watching the battle, and quickly threw away the single knife in his hand and stood up to meet him.

Luo Zhuo was a little embarrassed, his virtue at this time was compared with Gao Huaiyuan, he was a little embarrassed, as soon as he saw Gao Huaiyuan, he hurriedly bowed down and shouted: Humble position to see the handsome!

Gao Huaiyuan's face was like frost, and he pointed to the headless corpses on the ground with his hand, and asked Luo Zhuo: What is going on?

Luo Zhuo turned his head to look at the corpses, and quickly turned his head and replied: "Qiqi is handsome!" These scumbags disrespected orders, retreated without authorization, and violated military orders, so they were beheaded on the spot!

Gao Huaiyuan nodded slightly, it was right to deal with it like Luo Zhuo, so he said: It is not a pity to disobey the military order, hold back, and kill those who retreat without authorization, you did the right thing! But let me ask you, have you already heard the sound of the gold in the south of the city? Why are you still besieging the city? Do you also take the order as a child's play?

Luo Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and was suddenly startled, and hurriedly replied: Qiyu Dashuai, the lowly duty only cares about the siege, but he didn't pay attention to the movement in the south of the city, we are about to break the moat, and it is a pity to collect troops now, so the lowly duty will continue to attack the city! Is this also wrong?

Monkey business! The rest stand down! General Luo comes with me! Gao Huaiyuan's eyes widened, and he immediately ordered the rest of the people to retreat, and then rode his horse to a place far away from the crowd and stopped, turned over and dismounted, and threw the reins of the horse to Qiu Tong, who was following him, and asked her to take the war horse away.

Luo Zhuo hurriedly followed Gao Huaiyuan, carefully bowed his head and stood opposite Gao Huaiyuan, waiting for Gao Huaiyuan to speak, although he was not small in terms of age, but the official was more than one level older than him, and he didn't dare to make a mistake.

General Luo, I admire your courage, but you don't know how to cherish your subordinates so much, Gao really doesn't dare to compliment! This battle will not be resolved in a short time, and it is unwise for us to be the generals to make a clear decision, and to attack the city like this on the first day!

After a day of fierce fighting, the soldiers are already physically and mentally exhausted, if they still do not cherish them so much, forcing them to continue to attack at the risk of death, it will undoubtedly make them disgusted, we must think about the soldiers, reduce their casualties as much as possible, so that the soldiers can fully rest, and then seek to attack the city, the effect will be much better than you are so brutal!

I don't know if General Luo agrees with Gao's words, but Gao is the commander here, and I hope that General Luo can take care of the overall situation, otherwise, you also know what the crime is for disobeying the military order, and now immediately withdraw the troops and let the soldiers rest! Make no mistake!

Gao Huaiyuan lowered his voice and reprimanded Luo Zhuo, he didn't want to refute Luo Zhuo's face in front of too many people, so he avoided his soldiers and spoke to him alone.

When Luo Zhuo heard this, he didn't dare to say no, so he quickly bowed his head and said: What the big marshal said is reasonable, but it is a mistake to be humble! Immediately call it in! Please atone for your sins!

Let's say it, Luo Zhuo immediately ran over and ordered loudly: The commander has an order, immediately Mingjin and withdraw the troops!

Gao Huaiyuan looked at Luo Zhuo and knew that he was a little unconvinced, but he hadn't refuted himself head-on, and this matter still needed to be talked about later.

So he instructed Luo Zhuo: You arrange the night guard, don't let the northern army take advantage of the loopholes, take care of these throwing cars, you come to my big tent at night to find me, let's talk as brothers!

Luo Zhuo felt that Gao Huaiyuan still gave him a lot of face, so he quickly agreed, and then sent Gao Huaiyuan out of his camp.

Gao Huaiyuan showed a lot of patience for Luo Zhuo, a relatively rare militant in the Song army, if ordinary people dared to behave like him today, it is estimated that Gao Huaiyuan would take him down without saying a word, the lightest is to serve with a military stick, and the heavier is to go home to farm!

What he values is Luo Zhuo's upright and martial character, so he will be so polite to him, Luo Zhuo came to Gao Huaiyuan's big tent to ask for guilt in the evening, Gao Huaiyuan retreated left and right, let Luo Zhuo into the tent, and gave him a seat, Yu Luo Zhuo talked about the last two watches, and then sent Luo Zhuo out of the big tent.

This night's talk, so that Luo Zhuo finally really served Gao Huaiyuan, whether it is in terms of knowledge, or for the art of war, and even for the control of the army and fighting, Luo Zhuo found that he was far less capable than Gao Huaiyuan, and Luo Zhuo is also a straight person, although he has a lot of problems, but in this regard, he is willing to admit defeat, so after leaving Gao Huaiyuan's big tent, Luo Zhuo is considered to have returned to his heart.

He knew that Gao Huaiyuan had given him enough face today, and if he were someone else, even if his head didn't fall off today, this ass would probably be punished, and Gao Huaiyuan not only did not punish him, but maintained his face everywhere, which made Luo Zhuo very grateful.

And after Gao Huaiyuan sent Luo Zhuo away, he looked at Luo Zhuo's back and nodded, this person is useful, what is lacking in the Song army at the moment is this kind of bloody man, and Luo Zhuo is not a rough person, but he can be regarded as a very experienced and mature old soldier, and it is a great good thing for the Song army to have more such prestige and bloody generals in the army.

Ruohu, let's go to the craftsman's camp and see if the new cannon I arranged for the craftsmen to make has been ready! Gao Huaiyuan greeted Li Ruohu and said.

Li Ruohu immediately agreed, ordered a few guards and followed Gao Huaiyuan towards the craftsman camp, but Qiu Tong did not follow Gao Huaiyuan like a hanged ghost today, but lay a little lazily on the marching bed in Gao Huaiyuan's back tent, frowning and rubbing his lower abdomen, women are trouble, there are always two or three days a month that will not be very comfortable, it just so happened that Qiu Tong caught up with this thing in the past two days, so he became a little lazy.

Gao Huaiyuan doesn't know the reason, but also happy to be leisurely, he always follows a woman with Qiu Tong, he always has to worry about being discovered, his face is really not good-looking, Qiu Tong doesn't pester him, he is thankful, let her rest first, and go around the camp by himself.

The craftsmen in the camp are still brightly lit at this time, and the craftsmen continue to work in full swing with more than a thousand auxiliary soldiers allocated to them to help, at this time a newly built throwing cart has been standing in the camp, and suddenly these throwing carts are no different from ordinary single-tip guns, but one end is less of those thick pull ropes, more of a large iron hook, the rest of the place is basically the same, a little strange is that there is a set of winches connected to the cannon frame on the long arm at the other end.

The most different thing is that there is a large wooden box next to each throwing truck, which is filled with earth and stones, and there is a large iron hook on it.

When Gao Huaiyuan inspected here, the officers here immediately saw Gao Huaiyuan and his party, and hurried over to see: See the marshal!

Gao Huaiyuan waved his hand and said: No need to be polite, it seems that you have done a good job today! So many new throwaways have been made! Have you already tried this new throwaway?

The officer replied with a happy face: Qi Qi Marshal, in the afternoon of the humble post has led people to try this kind of throwing car behind the camp, indeed as the commander said, this throwing car really reduced a lot of manpower, the use of winch only needs four people to pull the throwing rod down, and the power is not worse than other throwing cars, and because of the configuration of the earth and stone box, the force is more balanced, the weight of the fired stones is only about the same, than the throwing car pulled by manpower alone is much more accurate, this kind of single-tip cannon, originally needed sixty people, Now only ten people are needed to operate each plane, so our army will have more manpower to operate the artillery! The number of cars thrown away can at least double tomorrow! If you have enough time, after three days, the number of cars can reach 500! The lowly job is renovating some of today's damaged dump cars tonight, and they will be put back into use early tomorrow morning!
