922. The so-called artificial rainfall
Jingwen fired several times in a row, and the flying thunder cannon was quickly doused with water by the Goguryeo soldiers, and then it could not be detonated. And Jingwen looked at the situation with a telescope and couldn't help but scold.
"These Goguryeo grandsons actually came up with this solution. It's a pity that our detonation method is still the original lead detonation, if it is a thunder mercury detonation, then how can I be afraid of you dousing it? Jingwen scolded.
Because the current flying thunder cannon is actually detonated through the guò lead, and in order to be able to be safe and avoid exploding, the lead is still relatively long. It's not that Jingwen doesn't want to make the lead shorter, but because if the lead is too short, it won't be good for the artillery on his side. If it blows up at that time, it will be your own people who will lose. So Jingwen deliberately made the lead longer, but now the enemy has seized the hole and doused these sparks with water.
"Damn, these guys are doing this, so how are we going to blow up the walls?" Dugumou also complained.
If you can't blow up the walls, it's much more complicated to attack on your own. At that time, Dugumou will have to take the risk of building a cloud ladder to attack, but the enemy will obviously not give them this opportunity. So Dugumou also had a headache, and he didn't know how to solve it.
"Brother-in-law, you have to think of a way!" Dugumou said.
Jingwen began to wonder how to prevent the enemy from coming and dousing these explosive packets. Because if the enemy not only douses the explosives pack, it means that the siege will be much more difficult.
"Hey! Pregnant! Jingwen said excitedly.
Soon, Jingwen immediately asked the artillery to prepare again. However, this time it was not a flying thunder cannon that was prepared, but the general's cannon. The prototype of this general cannon is also the Napoleonic cannon, so Jingwen can easily use the Napoleonic cannon attack method.
And Jingwen asked the artillery to put shotguns in these dozen Napoleonic guns, that is, cannons in the state of small particles one by one, and then put them in the barrels. Soon it was ready to start firing, and this cannon was intended to kill and injure ordinary unprotected living forces. So it's very useful, and very damaging for those troops who are defending the city.
"Bumper ......"
More than a dozen cannons were fired out at once. And one by one, the cannons were immediately dropped on the top of the tower.
"Wow......"
A large group of Goguryeo soldiers were killed and wounded and fell to the ground, apparently hundreds of people had been shot by these cannons, so they left one after another.
"Evacuate!" Yang Wanchun shouted.
Soon, Yang Wanchun was not an ordinary person, and immediately took advantage of this artillery firing interval to quickly retreat the soldiers to the bottom of the city tower. And this qiē was seen by Jingwen with a telescope.
"Flying Thunder Cannon, keep firing!" Jingwen shouted.
The Flying Thunder Cannon immediately began to prepare, and then more than a dozen explosive packs were fired.
"Boom—"
The explosive pack exploded again, and the city wall was suddenly broken with a small wound.
"Damn it!" Yang Wanchun said angrily.
Yang Wanchun didn't expect it. The enemy actually has a second mysterious weapon, that is, the weapon of the great general's cannon just now. The second weapon fires small cannons that can then be used to kill and injure enemies. As for the Goguryeo soldiers, they were all killed and wounded, but when they retreated, the enemy continued to fire this powerful flying thunder cannon. So Yang Wanchun is very helpless, is it true that people rely on these flying thunder cannons to survive?
"Everybody gave me alternate shots, first shotguns, then thunderbolts again, and so on. Shotguns can cover explosives packets! Jingwen said.
Jingwen's method is also very simple, that is, to use guò shotguns to force those soldiers back, so that those soldiers can not douse these explosive packs. And if the soldiers who want to water try to come and wet the explosives pack, they will inevitably be hit by the shotguns. So this is a very ruthless tactic. Shrapnel to cover explosives packs. Although the cost is higher, it can also make the city wall blow up.
Next, it seems that the process has gone a lot smoother, and the explosive packs can be fired at the city walls many times. And began to bombard the city walls, trying to knock them down. The Goguryeo defenders were in a hurry, obviously too difficult for this enemy. Mysterious weapons can blow up the walls of the city continuously. And I can only watch. Originally, it was possible to douse the enemy's explosives bag by pouring water on Guò, but now Jingwen actually used this shotgun to cover the explosive bag of the Flying Thunder Cannon, which caused Goguryeo heavy losses. If it goes on like this, it will be miserable, and the walls will be blown up.
When Jingwen was preparing for the third round of flying thunder cannon shooting, Jingwen suddenly saw that it was actually "raining" above Goguryeo City, which was 400 meters away.
"Strange, why is it raining?" Jingwen looked into the distance in surprise.
And Jingwen soon found out that in fact, it was not raining, but someone in the city used some means to spray a large amount of water onto the city wall. And the can use guò to get the dynamite bag wet. Even if a small number of them are not wet, the vast majority are wet.
"Strange, they're artificially adding rain, huh? How did they do it? Jingwen complained.
And under the inner city wall of Anshi, Yang Wanchun was directing the Goguryeo soldiers to use some machinery.
"Fortunately, the pumping things we used to use are still ready, otherwise it would have been really miserable!" Yang Wanchun said.
I saw the Goguryeo people holding some pipes made of animal skins, and then spraying water out of these pipes, and thus launching them into the city wall several meters high, and then the city wall was also wet. At the other end of the skin pipe, there is a well, and on top of the well is a set of equipment, that is, a device that pumps water through guò air pressure, and there are more than a dozen Goguryeo strong men operating this very laborious equipment. If Jingwen saw this in case, he would definitely be able to know that this thing was actually the original pumping equipment used in the remote countryside in later generations. This can be used to press water up by air pressure, but now this device is obviously very large, and it is used to pump large amounts of water. But now it is actually used here by Yang Wanchun to defend against his own flying thunder cannon.
Without the explosives packs of the Flying Thunder Cannons, it would have been impossible to inflict damaging blasts on the walls with these shotguns alone. Therefore, Yang Wanchun's "artificial rain" really made Jingwen helpless, after all, the explosives at this time were to be ignited, not the kind of things that could be detonated through guò thunder mercury in later generations.
