readx; "A city is ruined on stubbornness......"

Before Wang Anshi's sigh was finished, he was drowned out by the deafening sound of cannons. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The artillery covering tactic, which appeared for the first time in this plane, showed its bloody nature from the moment it appeared.

A group of cannonballs flew up the city, and those defenders who only knew how to cover their bodies with shields could not understand the power of the cannonballs at all.

Although it is black powder, this thing cannot be put on the table for Yun Zheng, but for the Song people, this is already a weapon of the gods.

After the black powder exploded in the sealed pig iron shell, Yun Zheng did not value the lethality of the iron shell, but the shock wave generated by the black powder.

As a result, Yun Zheng, Wang Anshi and Chen Lin saw the most terrifying scene in the world.

Cannonballs exploded at the head of the city, which was densely populated with soldiers defending the city, experienced soldiers burrowed into the turrets at the head of the city, and inexperienced soldiers habitually covered themselves with shields.

Then, a huge shock wave lifted up everything that could be lifted up at the head of the city, including the rootless soldiers under their feet.

Black smoke enveloped the city, and the Song army, who were standing outside the city waiting to attack, could only see the stumps and broken arms flying up from the smoke, like a terrifying giant beast tearing people's bodies in the smoke. ≤⊙

The dark red flame flickered, and with each flicker the city trembled, and soon, after the first round of three shells had been fired, the Song army's position fell silent.

Yun Zheng pulled out the cotton in his ears, his ears were still buzzing, and it took a long time for Yun Zheng to find his sense of balance and stand steadily. As for Wang Anshi and Chen Lin, they had already fallen to the ground like the other soldiers, looking at Hongzhou City in the distance in amazement.

They could even see the Liao soldiers who were lucky enough to survive stumbling around the city, and even fell down from the city where they had lost their arrow stacks.

The fire at the head of the city burned very violently, not because of the cannonballs, but because the oil used to defend the head of the city against the Song army when they climbed the city was on fire.

The fortifications of Hongzhou Castle are not much different from those of a hundred years ago. It's still rolling wood and stones, as well as hot vegetable oil, and if you prepare it well, you may have half-melted lead water.

The walls were much lower, and in some places there were even huge cracks, and if there was another round of shelling, the outer walls of the city would collapse.

Hongzhou is located in the plains, and the stone that can be used to build the city here is very scarce. The city was nothing more than rammed earth walls.

Yun Zheng ignored Wang Anshi and Chen Lin, and ordered the monkey: "Order the artillery fire to extend into the city, since you said that you will punish the people in this city, then don't talk and don't count."

At the same time, he ordered someone to place gunpowder under the city wall to clear the way for the army to advance, because the city wall was about to collapse, so do not waste precious shells needlessly. ”

Wang Anshi plucked out his ears, but still heard Yun Zheng's words. His body trembled, and Chen Lin smiled with a sly smile. Pointing to Hongzhou City, he said loudly the words that had changed his voice, and at this moment, he brought the eunuch's sharp voice to the extreme.

The artillery roared again, and at the same time, one hundred and ten cavalrymen rushed quickly to the city with shells flying over their heads, and one hundred and ten ten-pound explosive bags were soon piled up under the city. Under the cover of his companions, a thin soldier quickly twisted the rope of the explosive bag together, pulled it three feet away, lit it with a fire medium, jumped on his war horse and galloped wildly towards the way he came.

There was no counterattack from the city throughout. One hundred and ten cavalrymen had just run back to their main formation, a dull loud noise came from the edge of the city, the banner of the Song army fluttered violently, Yun Zheng covered his eyes with his hands, and waited for the gust of wind to blow, then he looked at Hongzhou City.

The city wall disappeared from the place where the gunpowder exploded, and a large oval crater appeared in the ground, and the explosion had passed, and the rumbling of the collapse of the city wall was still heard.

There were fist-sized pieces of dirt all over the place, even under Yun Zheng's feet, and there were still traces of being hit by clods of dirt on the armor soldiers guarding him.

Through the empty space of the city wall, Yun Zheng could see the fires in the city one after another, which was the state of cannonballs exploding in the city, and the houses near the city wall collapsed without exception, and he could even see a majestic rooster fluttering its wings in the air like an eagle, and he didn't dare to land at all......

The rest of the things didn't need Yun Zheng to command at all, the sharp soldiers sent by Lang Tan, Wu Jie, and Li Dongchu had already rushed towards that empty block, and it didn't take much effort for the black-armored sergeants to refill the place where the city wall disappeared.

The military order to slaughter the city for three days has been issued, there is no need to change the order overnight, the order has been issued, but Yun Zheng is unwilling to see the tragic situation, and is ready to camp outside the city, three days later, this city will be handed over to Wang Anshi, and he will arrange all the things in the city.

Wen Yanbo is here, Yun Zheng will not interfere in other people's military affairs, the person who is very vigilant against Yun Zheng, as long as he sees Yun Zheng take a wrong step, he will point it out bluntly, and the iron-faced selflessness makes people want to dig a pit and bury him.

Yun Zheng found that he now seemed to have lost the sharpness of his early years, when he was in the Jiazi Battalion, he didn't bury the prison army or staff officers alive, even when he blew up the smoke view, he still had the kung fu to put on a happy appearance to vent the dissatisfaction in his heart.

I don't know if I'm getting older all these years, or if the anger in my heart has almost been vented, and I have never done this kind of work again.

"The old man agrees very much with the slaughter of the city, if he doesn't surrender, he will be killed until he surrenders, this is an obvious truth, the Liao people did this, the Xixia people also did this, and my Great Song Dynasty naturally can do the same.

If someone expresses dissatisfaction, you can say that I forced you to give the order to slaughter the city, and at this time, you, the commander, cannot bear the reputation of slaughtering the city and killing people.

As long as you are responsible for fighting a good battle, we will carry the rest of the black cauldron, rest assured, the old man will never deny it, and he will never bite you back. ”

Wen Yanbo was angry when he saw Yun Zheng's suspicious look, the old man had already made it clear, and he would not go back on his word.

Yun Zheng shook his head and said: "I am a military general, it is nothing to have a reputation for killing people on my back, I am really afraid of you famous ministers and strategists, the upper lip and the lower lip touch, anything can come out of your mouth, and what is even more terrifying is that no matter what you say, there are still people who believe that someone helps to hold stinky feet, and it is as easy for you to say black as white."

I'm a military general, but I can't say you literati, it's better for me to carry this black cauldron myself. ”

The two of them laughed and scolded and returned to the military tent, and before they could sit down, they heard a low horn coming from Hongzhou City, which should be a signal that the army had completely occupied this small city.

After the shell of the egg was opened, there was no pressure to break through such a city with the abilities of Lang Tan, Wu Jie, and Li Dongchu.

"Tu Cheng, Brother Kuanfu doesn't plan to open his eyes?"

Wen Yanbo ignored Yun Zheng's cynicism, and said to himself: "Bao Heizi yin you once before he died, you don't need to hold grudges like this, and vent all your grievances to the civil officials, when the old man came, Zhang Fangping said that when he was about to die, he would also yin you once, so that you could get out of the mud pit of the Great Song Dynasty!"

Look at it, it's all good intentions, Bao Wenzheng is dead, you won't dig him out of the grave and whip the corpse, Zhang Fangping can be called your teacher, Mr. Peng Li is your mentor, these words are what the two of them asked me to pass on to you. I hope that you will get off the donkey in the future and return to the mountains and forests with a prince...... It's also a success. ”

Wen Yanbo has always treated Yun Zheng as if he was farting, and Zhang Fangping is similar to farting, these people like to say some worthless nonsense to buy people's hearts, if you believe what they say, at least thirty percent of the unjust souls in this world can be increased. However, since Mr. Peng Li was mentioned in his words, this is a heartfelt and respectful old gentleman who is good to the Yun family.

Yun Zheng hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "My husband's body is still healthy?" Before I came to Yanmen, I specially sent someone to visit Mr. in Shuzhong, but I don't know how he is now, is he still comfortable? ”

Wen Yanbo also sat up straight, the playful attitude on his face completely faded, and he said: "Mr. Peng Li's body is healthy, when the old man returned from Shuzhong, it happened to be the opening day of the May Festival in Chengdu Mansion.

The old gentleman is deaf and clear-sighted, according to his own words, it will not be a problem to live until Yunhou recovers the sixteen states of Yanyun, he is waiting for your class teacher to return to the dynasty in Shu. ”

Yun Zheng laughed miserably and said: "Mr. wait for me, but I can't go back to Shuzhong, I'm afraid that a farewell to Tokyo back then is already a permanent secret."

Mr. is a benevolent natural Leshan, Yun Zheng thinks that he still has a little bit of intelligence, so he is willing to get close to the water, please tell Mr. Kuanfu, Mr. taught Yun Zheng that he will not dare to forget one day, only in the East China Sea between the blue waves for Mr. Shou! ”

Wen Yanbo nodded and said, "Oh! ”

Yun Zheng bowed to Wen Yanbo again, and then sat down again.

After the death of Mr. Peng Li's wife, he returned to Shuzhong with the coffin thousands of miles away, and never asked about the world.

In the Great Song Dynasty, Yun Zheng owed the old man a lot of money, and when he mentioned it at this time, he couldn't help himself with sadness.

Wen Yanbo saw that Yun Zheng was sad, and said comfortingly: "Mr. Peng Li often said that the Yun brothers are the greatest pride in his life......

Yun Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid that Mr. is not willing to die at this time, he wants to see the movements of my class teacher after returning to the court." Otherwise, he wouldn't dare die...... Yun Zheng has lived to such a point that everyone is worried about, there is indeed no one before and no one after him! (To be continued.) )
