Chapter 297: No War on the Western Front!

It's like a nightmare!

It's been a long day, but the Golden Vulture still hasn't come back to it!

To this day, he was immersed in that nightmare, and the violent cannon fire rang out like thunder, and the smoke rolled up from the sky, like the waves of the sea, destroying everything.

In just a moment, the heavy ballistas were damaged countless times, and some of the Jin soldiers were even killed by the huge wave of air.

Everything, everything, is so incredible!

"What's going on?" Jin Wushu's voice was a little hoarse, and his eyes were red.

"Your Highness, that is a new weapon of the Song Army, called the Flying Thunder Cannon, also known as the Conscienceless Cannon!" The secret agent on the side said the relevant information carefully, "This cannon bombarded out, like a flying thunder, the sound shocked the nine heavens, the heavens and the earth trembled, and the sun and the moon were discolored............"

Jin Wushu listened attentively, and finally shouted angrily: "Why is such important information only reported to me now? ”

The secret agent's face was a little pale, Jin Jun suffered such a big loss, and the intelligence agency was naturally the first to be charged, so he couldn't help but excuse himself: "Three months ago, I already told you!" ”

"Three months ago, I already told you!" The golden vulture suddenly sounded, and indeed in the intelligence, it had been reported to the high-level of the Jin army, and it was personally signed by Su Yi, the highest secret agent of the Jin army, and it was "top secret level".

At that time, many ministers, including the emperor, saw it, but they disdained it, thinking it was absurd and unbelievable!

Only at this moment, when the Jin army suffered a big loss in front of the flying thunder cannon, did he believe that everything was true!

"Is there a way to get a way to make a flying thunder cannon?" Jin Wushu asked.

"The leader, the personnel, has been spread to the Song army. It's just that the internal control of the Song army is extremely strict, and it has lost more than ten people, and it still hasn't figured out the details of the flying thunder cannon! The agent told him truthfully.

"So, how long will it take to get the method of making the Flying Thunder Cannon?" Jin Wushu asked.

"At least three more months!"

"Three months, I'll wait!" The Golden Vulture sighed faintly. With the appearance of the flying thunder cannon, the battle situation has become unpredictable, and Xiangyang is like an iron fight, which is insurmountable.

This is only on the defense of the city, if the Song army will fly thunder cannons. Used to fight the cavalry of the Jin Army, it will be a nightmare for the Jin Army!

…………

The day before yesterday, there was no conscience cannon to make a big move!

This is not the first time that the conscienceless cannon has been on the battlefield, when it strangled the cavalry of the Jin Army and attacked the camp of the Jin Army at night. I used a conscienceless cannon. It's just that at that time, most of them were soldiers who participated in the war. It was sealed afterwards. Outsiders only know that the Song army used a new gunpowder weapon, and as for the performance, it has been ambiguous.

And this time, there is no conscience cannon, and it is truly displayed in front of the world.

Without a trace of concealment, like an arrogant overlord. With brutal and cruel methods, it proves that the king is the king.

And as soon as he went to the battlefield, he showed a shocking side. Pushing the heavy ballista horizontally, like paper paste, in an instant, it became a lot of noise, and one by one the soldiers of the Jin Army, better like kites, were blown up by the powerful air waves, and they were killed and injured countless times. It's as if the god of thunder has descended.

The scene is huge!

Suddenly, Jin Jun was stunned!

The civil and military forces on the city wall were also stunned!

In the eyes of civil and military personnel, gunpowder is more of an incendiary weapon, and it plays more of a role in fueling combustion.

According to the Song Dynasty Lu Zhen's "Nine Kingdoms" records, during the Tang Dynasty Emperor Ai (10th century), Zheng Wangfan led an army to attack Yuzhang (now Nanchang, Jiangxi), "flying fire", burned the city's Longsha Gate, which was a gunpowder siege, more by the power of combustion.

In the Song Dynasty, there were firearms such as rockets, fireballs, and thistles.

But it's really not very powerful!

It wasn't until the appearance of "Thunderbolt" and "Shocking Thunder" that the power changed.

It's just that whether it's a thunderbolt cannon or a sky-shattering thunderbolt, compared to the conscienceless cannon, it's a weak explosion!

Suddenly, the civil and military people realized that gunpowder could be used like this, and the power of gunpowder during the trial period was so huge!

Everyone was amazed at the terrifying power of the conscienceless cannon, and Zhao Pu felt pity and luck!

It's a pity that the black powder is not powerful, and the quality is too poor, resulting in a short range of running without conscience; And fortunately, there is no conscience cannon, there are too many shortcomings, but the Jin army didn't find out!

Historically, the unconscionable artillery used by the People's Liberation Army was mostly TNT explosives, or yellow gunpowder, with amazing explosive power. The only drawback is that the firing range is too close, only two hundred meters, which is too close, shorter than the range of mortars.

The short range is almost a fatal heel, and it may be a sniper, maybe a mortar, and it can threaten the unconscionable artillery.

In short, there is almost no market for unconscientious cannons in the West, because the industrially developed West can produce many weapons that completely explode without conscience in terms of performance.

Only in China, during the War of Liberation, there was no defense industry, only this kind of native weapons, which formed heavy fire strikes; And the Kuomintang army is too vegetable, it often surrenders in pieces, and the shortcomings of the cannon without conscience are not considered shortcomings.

At this time, there is no conscience cannon, so it can only be based on black powder; What is even more tragic is that the quality of black powder is extremely poor, and even if it is launched by a parabola, the longest distance is only about 150 meters.

This distance is really too short, maybe the archers can threaten the conscienceless cannon.

Zhao Pu can imagine: the gunner of the Song army picked up the explosive bag and threw it into the barrel, just about to detonate it, when it was fired; At this time, the archers of the Jin Army in the distance attacked, and the arrows that were lit on fire shot out, and they shot into the barrel of the cannon, or the explosive bag near the barrel, and ignited instantly, with a violent sound of "boom", and it exploded without conscience, and the soldiers of the Song Army were killed and injured countless times.

In battle, it is quite possible.

At a distance of one hundred and fifty meters, most of the cavalry of the Jin Army can achieve nine shots out of ten.

On the battlefield, if there is no conscience cannon, most of them will not hurt the enemy, but hurt themselves first!

Fortunately, for the time being, Jin Jun does not seem to have discovered this shortcoming; In other words, as soon as the conscienceless cannon sounded, it was like a thunderbolt, which scared the Jin army stupidly and completely forgot to fight back; Or the walls are higher. Being condescending is more conducive to exerting the power of running without conscience.

In short, what Zhao Pu was worried about did not happen.

When the Song army shelled, he was relieved that he was not counterattacked by the cavalry of the Jin army.

In fact, Zhao Pu was not worried that the Jin army would learn the conscienceless cannon and attack the Song Dynasty in turn, which was impossible!

Running without conscience, parabolic range. It was only a little more than 150 meters, which was completely within the range of the bow and arrow; If the Jin army dared to line up under the city and bombard the city with no conscience, Zhao Pu would dare to let the archers. Shoot arrows lit with fire oil and smash the mouth of the conscienceless cannon!

All in all. In short. Running without conscience is a very weak gunpowder weapon, and there are many ways to restrain it.

In fact, the unconscionable artillery is more suitable for mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, and provides strong fire support to guerrillas who lack heavy weapons. In terms of power, the heavy ballista is completely exploded, and in terms of lightness, it can be carried at any time.

And on the regular battlefield, it plays a role to the extreme.

Luckily, new weapons always scare people!

The world was frightened by his immense power. It completely ignores its fatal flaws.

…………

After the heavy ballista was exploded, the reputation of the conscienceless cannon was extremely prominent, and his identity was gorgeously transformed into a "flying thunder cannon". This is the name given by the scholars and doctors, and it is called the power of flying thunder.

With that, the heavy ballista ended gloomily, and it became a stepping stone for the "conscienceless cannon".

Since then, the heavy ballista has also been evacuated from Xiangyang City, and has never appeared again, like an aggrieved child, who was originally going to become the king of geniuses, but turned out to be the aura of another king of geniuses.

It's just that the deterrent effect of the conscience cannon still far exceeds Zhao Pu's expectations!

Before losing the heavy ballista, unable to assist in the siege, and not stealing the conscience cannon, the Jin army decisively gave up the siege, retreated twenty miles back, and the troops shrank, as if they were scared, and instantly became a small attack, and the Song army was unable to attack, so it could only stare dryly.

So, staring at each other with big eyes, you look at me, I look at you, they don't make a move, it's like "no war on the Western Front"!

For half a month, it was as calm as before, and there was no wave at all, because it was too calm, and Zhao Pu felt irritable in his heart.

"Why is this happening, Jin Jun won't be scared, right?" Zhao Pu laughed at himself.

However, even he himself did not believe that the Jin army would be scared! This time the commander is the Golden Vulture, the words of later generations, novels and the like, always like to write the Golden Vulture as a clown, it seems that he always loses battles, and it seems that he is a general who is often defeated.

But Zhao Pu doesn't think so, at least in the battle of attacking Fancheng, it is remarkable.

At this time, the attack was frustrated, but he was able to calm down and retreat twenty miles, which seemed to be timid, but in fact it was a plan to lure the enemy. If the Jin army went out of the city to attack, it happened to be dumplings made by the Jin army!

"Summons all the civil and military personnel, go to the palace and talk about it!" Zhao Pu ordered.

Soon after, all the civil and military forces came together.

"Everyone, the Jin army is under Fancheng, whether it can advance or retreat, what does this mean?" Zhao Pu asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you have a plan to break the enemy?" ”

"The Jin army has been stationed in Fancheng for two months, and the veteran generals are tired; And after more than a year of training by His Majesty, our army has already done its best to be no less than the Western Army, and with the help of flying thunder artillery, Your Majesty has made a wise decision, as long as it attacks again, it will definitely break the Jin Army! At this time, Fan Zongyin proposed an offensive plan.

Zhao Pu nodded, and suddenly realized that unconsciously, the Jin army had been stationed in Fancheng for two months.

For two months, the long-term attack could not be overcome, and there were many soldiers, and it was inevitable that the veteran generals would be tired; It's just that no matter how tired the Jin army is, it is still easy to clean up the Song army. Don't look at the several victories that the Bazi Army has won before, it seems to be very powerful, but in fact, it is mostly a trick, more to wait for work, and more to bully less.

Once these three conditions are erased, the odds of winning are less than 30%.

The number of wins is less than 30%, so there is no need to work hard!

After all, at this moment, he couldn't afford to lose, and he returned from a big defeat in the field battle outside the city, losing his army and losing his morale, which would inevitably lead to the loss of Fancheng.

Defending Xiangyang at this moment is the biggest victory.

"Your Majesty, the Jin Army will definitely move him out!" Qin Hui suddenly spoke. (To be continued......)
