Chapter 1069: Xiao Pingjin is lost

The siege battle was very fierce, the Shu army used all kinds of firearms as much as possible, and the light bomb thrower equipped on the warship was not fixed on the ship, it was equipped with wheels at the bottom, which could be easily moved, and after the warship docked, these dozens of catapults were pushed off the warship, and entered the Xiaopingjin Pass from the ferry, and then quickly put into the battle of attacking the inner city.

After the bombardment vehicle that made great use in the river crossing operation landed at this moment, its power did not decrease, because its range was relatively long, beyond the range of any long-range weapon, and no bow bed crossbow catapult could cause damage to it, so these bombardment stones were almost invincible.

And its attack power is powerful, four times more than the charge of the bamboo grenade, almost making it a terrible weapon of destruction, although the walls of the inner city of Xiaopingjin Pass are made of stone, and stronger gunpowder cannot destroy it, but the buildings on the head of the city cannot all be built with stones, and those wooden gate buildings, under the bombardment of gunpowder shells, turned into a pile of ruins in an instant.

What's more, those Jin soldiers defending the city are all flesh and blood, even if they wear armor, it is impossible to block the shock wave and flying shrapnel generated after the explosion of gunpowder.

And the dense defensive formation of the Jin army makes the power of gunpowder bullets more vivid, the passage on the city wall is not too wide, even if it is a big city like Luoyang Chang'an, it is only five or six zhang wide at most, and it can accommodate four horses in parallel, which is already the limit, and the general prefecture and county city, it is already good to be able to run on two horses, as for some small cities, the passage on the city wall is narrow, and it can only accommodate one horse to pass through at most, such a narrow position, it is conceivable what so many Jin soldiers have crowded.

Gunpowder shells exploded on the continuous pass, and the Jin army guarding the pass was a wail, with heavy casualties.

Not to mention how powerful the gunpowder weapons invented by Liu Yin are, compared to those modern weapons in later generations, Liu Yin's firearms can only be regarded as a kindergarten level at best, but compared with the weapons of later generations, the killing efficiency must not be bad, and even much greater than the weapons of later generations.

The most fundamental reason is that people in this era do not know anything about firearms, when firearms attack, they don't know how to deal with it at all, many people just stand in a daze, at a loss, some people try to escape, but it is not easy to escape in the dense crowd, many people trample on each other, chaotic, trampling to death Jin soldiers, no less than the explosion killed.

Although the Shu army has used firearms many times, but the opponent has not been able to get more experience and lessons from it, to deal with gunpowder weapons, first of all, it is necessary to disperse and conceal, the killing radius of a gunpowder weapon is often only one to two zhang away, and the farther away from the explosion point, the smaller the damage will be, as long as the Jin army is effectively dispersed and hidden, the lethality of the Shu army's gunpowder weapons will naturally be greatly reduced.

But in this era, whether it is offensive or defensive, strict formations are emphasized, if they are all scattered and hidden, how can this battle be fought?

This in itself is a contradiction, to deal with the ordinary siege of the city, the Jin army must maintain a tight defensive formation, with crowd tactics to block the attack of the Shu army, but to deal with the attack of firearms, they must disperse and hide and dodge, such a strong conflict, not only so that the soldiers of the Jin army, even the generals of the Jin army are at a loss, do not know how to deal with it.

"Retreat!" Seeing this, Jiang Jun immediately ordered the troops defending the city to disperse immediately and move most of the Jin army to the city to escape the firearms of the Shu army.

But when the Jin army fled like fleeing from the city wall, the Shu army's firearm attack suddenly stopped, and the Wudang Fei army, which had been waiting under the city, pounced on it in a thunderous way, Jiang Jun was numb, and urgently ordered the Jin soldiers who had just left the city to re-enter the city to stop the attack of the Shu army.

As soon as the Jin army reached the city tower, a new round of firearms attacks began, and the dense gunpowder shells had covered the inner city walls in an instant.

So the Jin army began to be busy with the dungeon again, and after several tosses, not only the Jin army was suffering heavy casualties, but also the spirit of the Jin army was exhausted, and the morale was low and exhausted.

Zhang Le saw the opportunity and led the Wudang Flying Army to rush forward in one breath.

Although the city wall of the inner city is much higher than the wall of the outer city, but for the Wudang Fei Army, no matter how high the height is, they don't pay attention to it, they fight in the mountains all year round, climbing and climbing is their specialty, many steep and tall peaks they can walk on the ground, and the city wall like Xiaopingjin Pass will naturally not be put in the eyes.

Countless ladders were erected, and the sergeants of the Wudang Flying Army all walked like flying, and their movements were like the wind, while other armies climbed the ladder with their hands and feet, holding the ladder with their hands, and climbing up the ladder step by step, and the movements were relatively slow.

When the soldiers of the Wudang Flying Army climbed the ladder, they did not hold the ladder with both hands at all, and stepped on the crossbar with their feet, "poof", their bodies were like flying, just the blink of an eye, and the soldiers of the Wudang Feijun had stepped on more than a dozen crossbars in a row.

There are also many soldiers, who don't need to climb the ladder at all, throw their claws high towards the city wall, hook the city head, pull the rope, step on the city wall, "swish", the speed is not even inferior to the soldiers who climb the ladder.

The Jin soldiers rushed back and forth in the city and under the city, they were already tired and out of breath, and many people couldn't take a step, thinking that they had to go down to the city anyway, so they simply stayed under the city and didn't have to go up, so they didn't have to go back and forth, and they were in danger of life, one was unlucky, the firearms of the Shu army fell on the top of their heads and exploded, and there would be no bones.

Relatively speaking, it is safer to stay under the city, at least the firearms of the Shu army can't shoot here.

But they didn't expect that this time the siege of the Shu army was not a false move, but a real move, many people had not had time to enter the city, and the flying army had already pounced on the city.

At this time, it was already very difficult for the Jin army to stop the offensive of the Shu army, and the entire city had almost been razed to the ground by the Shu army, except for the corpses all over the ground, the Jin army did not have many defenders at all, so when the flying army rushed up, there was almost no defensive force on the inner city of Xiaopingjin Pass, and Xiaopingjin Pass soon fell.
