After the war, after roughly counting the loss data, Zhao Pu also felt pain in his heart.

Heavy ballistae have various shortcomings, such as bulkiness, inconvenience, high attrition, and poor hit rate, but their advantages cannot be ignored.

At the peak of the development of cold weapons, gunpowder weapons were in the ascendant, and heavy ballistas played an important role in siege warfare. It plays an irreplaceable role in attacking some fortified cities.

Historically, during the Song Dynasty, Xiangyang City had the most elite troops of the Song army, with more than 300,000 troops just guarding Xiangyang; The Mongol army is only 150,000, but it has to play the role of siege, if it is in accordance with the conventional "ant annexation" method, the siege of the city, may be the Mongols are dead, and it is impossible to conquer Xiangyang.

It's just that the birth of heavy ballistas can allow the Mongol army to carry out indiscriminate and carpet bombing, which not only shocks the Song army's determination to defend the city, but also kills and injures a large number of living forces of the Song army.

If there were no heavy ballistas, the Mongol army would definitely not be able to break through Xiangyang City, after all, no matter how good the cavalry is, it will not be able to attack the city wall on horseback.

In the original plane, the Jin army has been successfully attacking the city without encountering major obstacles, so there is no need for heavy ballistas; But in this plane, with the rise of Zhao Pu, Xiangyang City has really become an iron-clad Xiangyang City, and Jin Wushu has no choice but to transport a large number of ballistas from the rear to carry out covering, indiscriminate bombing.

In just one round of attacks, more than 3,000 stone bullets smashed near the north wall of Fancheng, and the entire vicinity of Beicheng seemed to have been ravaged by a giant countless times in the face of this covering bombardment, which was extremely miserable!

Although in the hurry, measures were taken to avoid bombs, but only a few were able to dodge close to the city wall; Able to evacuate. Still in the minority. Most of the creeps can only passively attack with stone bullets, and under the huge gravitational bombardment, they will smash something to pieces.

Smashed to the shield shield shattered, smashed to the city tower, smashed the soldier, either broken bones and tendons, or smashed into flesh.

As a result of a bombardment, no less than 3,000 people were killed and no less than 5,000 seriously injured. In addition to other damage, there are as many as 10,000 people in total, and the damaged siege equipment is even more numerous. This is also the reason why the soldiers on the city walls are too dense, even if it is an emergency evacuation. It's also a little late.

Zhao Pu listened to the loss report, and he had the urge to go berserk.

The loss is too great! If it is bombarded a few more times. The battle damage was too great. Xiangyang is bound to be lost.

Historically, the Red Army was able to withstand 90 percent of the battle losses without collapsing, and the will to fight was still high; However, the army under his command, most of which were recruits, once the battle losses exceeded 20 percent. Maybe it's going to crash!

"Fortunately, the Jin Army has a limited number of stone bullets!" Zhao Pu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Before the war, the walls were cleared, and most of the people evacuated. The Jin army wanted to arrest the people, but they couldn't. The lack of manpower slowed down the speed at which the Jin army made stone bullets, and although a heavy bombardment was extremely enjoyable, it also depleted the stock. As the saying goes, a ballista bombards for a quarter of an hour, and it takes several days to make stone shells.

"You can't let the Jin army bombard, you must use no conscience to run!" Zhao Pu made up his mind.

Historically, heavy ballistas were just a flash in the pan and quickly dissipated into history. Because from the end of the Song Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, a more powerful bronze cannon had been born, and the heavy ballista was almost weak compared to the shooting distance and bombing power.

Bronze artillery, although it is relatively simple and rough in terms of performance, can be enough to complete the king of the weapon age.

If you run without conscience, the bombardment is definitely a complete explosion of heavy ballistas.

It's just that when I think of exposing the conscienceless cannon in front of Jin Jun so soon, I feel a little unhappy in my heart!

On the battlefield, when fighting against the Jin army, he only used the unconscionable run twice, mainly to test the actual combat effect and accumulate experience. The two times they used the unconscionable cannon wiped out the Jin army afterwards, and the Bazi Army was even more forbidden, and the artillery camp was extremely secretive. As a result, the Jin Army, multi-party infiltration, still did not figure out the details, and did not have a conscience.

This secrecy is only temporary!

As long as the conscienceless cannon is used a few more times on the battlefield, the Jin army will know the principles of running without conscience, so as to imitate or copycat!

In fact, there is no conscience cannon, the manufacturing principle is simple, there is no technical threshold, the craftsmen of the Jin Army, as long as they specialize more, they can be better than the blue! The delusion of monopolizing this military technology all the time is almost a pipe dream. The difference is only the length of the monopoly.

"That's it, I can only use it and run away without conscience!"

Zhao Pu breathed a sigh of relief and made up his mind. Although, there are other ways to destroy the heavy ballistae of the Jin Army, but the efficiency is too low. It was not enough to deal a devastating blow to the ballistae of the Song army.

Historically, the morale of the defending side has been low, and the morale of the besieging side has been high.

Originally, more than 200,000 Song troops defended the city, and 150,000 Jin troops attacked the city, which was humiliating enough, and the morale of the whole army was already low. If the Jin army gains the upper hand in morale again, Fancheng may be lost in an instant! He couldn't afford to gamble, and the hole cards were used at crucial moments, not to be placed in a coffin.

………………

The next day, the Jin army went out again!

Riding on a war horse, Jin Wushu was in high spirits and in a good mood. Yesterday, under the earth-shaking bombardment, the entire Xiangfan seemed to have suffered a heavenly punishment, and countless soldiers were killed and wounded.

Under such a bombardment, the Song army will inevitably collapse! As long as they come a few more times, the infantry and the attacking city, as long as they fight a few times, Fancheng will fall.

As long as Fancheng falls, will Xiangyang fall far away?

As the saying goes, it's hard to sound alone!

Xiangyang and Fancheng are each south and one north, facing each other across the Han River, and each other is a horn. The fall of Fancheng was not only a strategic blow to the Song army, but also a fatal blow to morale. Will Xiangyang be able to hold on at that time?

The Golden Vulture shook his head!

One by one, the heavy ballistas were placed, and the ones that were damaged yesterday had been repaired, and at this time there were still a thousand ballistas, still dense and covering, like a tidal bombardment!

Looking at so many heavy ballistas, the Golden Vulture had a hearty smile on his face.

At this time, Pharmacist Guo reminded: "Your Highness, beware of the cavalry of the Song Army attacking and destroying heavy ballistas!" ”

Jin Wushu said confidently: "Song army cavalry, if you have the courage to come out, I will let Zhao Pu understand that life is better than death!" ”

And the cavalry around them quietly waited for the attack, as long as the city gate was opened, they would annihilate the Song army in the suburbs, and even attack quickly to capture the city gate!

At this time, on the wall of Fancheng, there was a violent roar, like thunder. In an instant, a huge wave of air rushed in, like a muffled thunder, wave after wave, continuously, and the giant-like heavy ballistae, as if blown by a hurricane, were either scattered or swaying.

And the most unfortunate thing is that some of the golden soldiers under the city, in the violent roar, their bodies flew up, like leaves.

It's like magic, it's like magic!

In an instant, Jin Wushu's mood fluctuated greatly, and he fell from heaven to hell. (To be continued......)
