"The safety of gunpowder needs to be improved, and now black powder will explode as long as it encounters sparks or severe impact. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It seems that Yelu Yixin has indeed put a lot of effort into our tactics and arranged defenses in a targeted manner, and the results are not bad.

However, if Yelu Yixin thinks that such a simple way can restrain our army, he is too naïve, once firearms begin to be used on a large scale, they and cold weapons are the products of two eras, just like the ancient Stone Age people used stone tools to fight against armies fully equipped with iron armor.

If Yelu Yixin did not completely keep up with the pace of the times, the courage and fierceness of the Liao people would have disappeared under the bombardment of artillery. ”

Yun Zheng's words were like a magic sound, calming down a few generals who had become impetuous, seeing that their subordinates had suffered heavy casualties.

Sure enough, Ge Tianfang, a fierce general in a hundred battles, naturally had his own set, and the dense skateboards were quickly scattered with pennies on top of the silt, and the target became smaller, effectively dispersing the intensive attacks of the Liao army.

Lang Tan projected the second batch of flying claws to the opposite shore in a very timely manner, and before the first team landed, the second team of skateboards had already begun to set off.

Seeing that Ge Tianfang's skateboard was about to reach the opposite shore, a boulder fell from the sky with a roar, Ge Tianfang roared, threw the oar shield in his hand on the mud, and stepped on the oar shield and flew ashore first. The rest of the soldiers did not have time to move, and with a shout, they threw their shields on the mud and scattered.

The boulder landed on the skateboard accurately, smashing not only the oar shield, but also splashing mud in the sky. The surrounding Song army immediately turned into clay figures.

Ge Tianfang relied on the well-armored armor on his body, blocked his eyes with an iron gauntlet, and rushed forward arrogantly. The Liao people's feather arrows shot at him, but they were all blocked by the armor, and only a thick feather arrow passed through the two layers of heavy armor on his body and bit him on the arm.

A cannonball landed exactly around the arrow hole in the city wall, and when it burst open, it tore a large hole in the city wall. The rest of the shells followed suit, and although they were not as accurate as the first shells, they also crumbling the bombardment of the city walls.

Without the shield of the oars, Ge Tianfang had no way to set up a tidal flat position on the opposite side, so he could only grit his teeth and continue to rush forward, hoping to attract enough Liao crossbow arrows to relieve a little pressure on the later soldiers.

Rushed up a small slope. In front of him was a trench about two zhang wide, and the water flowing in the trench was not turbulent, but the thick silt made Ge Tianfang helpless against the scene in front of him.

The long knife in his hand kept swinging and flying most of the feather arrows, but there were always one or two feather arrows that could penetrate his armor and pierce his **.

Just when Ge Tianfang felt that his arms were getting heavier and heavier. A shield stood in front of him, and then more soldiers with shields rushed from behind, quickly forming a new tortoiseshell in front of the trench.

The small ballista was also moved, and after a rough calculation of the distance, a soldier decisively cut the arquebus, lit an eight-pound gunpowder bag, and put it in a leather pocket.

After a loud "boom", the city was littered with rocks. Hitting the tortoiseshell with a clanging sound, this powder bag was much more powerful than a cannonball.

Ge Tianfang, who was bleeding too much, only felt that his ears were buzzing, and everything he saw in his eyes was ghosting. The loud roar of his companion seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him.

Lang Tan hurriedly came to Ge Tianfang's side surrounded by the shield, and after a glance, his face changed greatly, and as soon as he reached out, he pulled out a feather arrow inserted in Ge Tianfang's shoulder, and said angrily: "The arrow is poisonous. Give Lao Tzu a phosphorus bomb, Lao Tzu wants to burn this city! ”

A military marquis hurriedly said, "General, the distance is too close. It will hurt our own brother by mistake. ”

Lang Tan smiled cruelly: "Cast, if the phosphorus fire flies over, use a shield to block it for Lao Tzu!" ”

The military marquis saw that Lang Tan seemed to have lost his mind. Looking at the gossamer, Ge Tianfang gritted his teeth and took out red balls from the iron box he brought, and took a long breath. He put the ball into the leather pocket of the small ballista, lit the fuse, and then ejected it, not daring to stay in his crowd for a moment.

"Prepare the shield, give up dealing with the feather arrows, and block the ......sky with all your might," the marquis roared hoarsely, and immediately superimposed the shield in his hand on top of his head.

The tiger rushed together and began to exert its power again, and the rain of arrows hit the soldier's body, causing him to retreat again and again, and within three steps, a crossbow arrow entered his eye and came out of his brain.

The white and dazzling firelight exploded in the city, and the sound was not loud, but countless blue flames slowly fell from the sky, and the firelight looked pale blue in the shadows, but in the sunlight, those flames took on a strange paleness, and these flames floating in the air, drifting around with the wind, drilled through the countless ventilation holes.

Seeing the tragic death of the military marquis, Lang Tan personally ordered to fire phosphorus shells again, and did not stop until there was no more such shell in his hand.

For some reason, the city was quiet, and even the crossbow arrows driven by the powerful gunpowder of the fierce tigers were becoming scarce, and through the gap in the shield, Lang Tan swung his knife and picked a blue fire ball, which was not extinguished by Lang Tan's swing, but turned into a string of blue sparks, dancing with Lang Tan's dance.

The rain of fire in the sky came, and the Song people were all like facing a great enemy, and they would never allow a ball of flames to touch their bodies, and the screams coming from the city were the price of being contaminated with fire.

Phosphorus fire will kill a person for a while and a half, but it can't be shaken off like a maggot on the tarsal bone......

After coming to the first trench, they carefully avoided the phosphorus fire that fell to the ground and still burned, and put the skateboard more than two feet long on the trench, as long as the phosphorus fire was extinguished, they would immediately continue to charge, and the scene in front of them was like a sea of fire, even the most daring Song army shuddered.

The water in the trench slowly carried away a lot of phosphorus fire that fell into the water, like a blue burning river.

Ge Tianfang, who was foaming at the mouth, was quickly carried away, and the military doctor removed the feather arrow as soon as possible, and used the sharpest knife to rip off the flesh near the wound, until fresh blood seeped out.

This is just a rough rescue, and the rest of the work needs to be dealt with by the most skilled military doctors.

Wang Anshi saw that Yun Zheng had stopped the shelling, and after the smoke of the city was blown away by the wind, he found that the city head was on fire at this time, and the flames showed a strange miserable white color in the sun, and the city head could not see a Liao person who could stand.

The flags were burning, the flagpoles were burning, the walls were burning, even the water seemed to be burning, and there was no living creature in sight in the face of these devastating flames.

"Phosphorus fire, from the grave, is indeed hellfire, extraordinary people can withstand it!"

"Human bones contain a lot of white phosphorus, which burns when it encounters water or alkali, and most of the phosphorus fires you see are harmless and will disperse as long as it is blown by the wind.

The phosphorus fire in the army is different, it comes from phosphate rock, which is burned by the forging road, and then specially collects the gas produced by the ore, and cools it to obtain pure yellow phosphorus.

It's easy to catch fire, and even if there's no tinder, if it's hot enough, or if it's a little hotter than our body temperature, it will burn, so we usually put it in a sealed jar and bury it in the sand.

In order to transport these things, the army spends a lot of manpower and material resources. ”

Wang Anshi said: "Looking at its power now, the price we paid is worth it." ”

Yun Zheng sighed and said: "As long as this thing gets on a person, it is difficult to extinguish, as long as it is burned by him, or left in the middle of the dense fire to smell phosphorus and fire, it is difficult to survive. ”

Wang Anshi glanced at Yun Zheng and said coldly: "The old man will only use a knife to kill, and he will not use these poisonous things." ”

Impatient to listen to the nonsense of the two bigwigs, Su Xun stood up and pointed to Yanghe Road: "The skateboard has been paved with tidal flats, and the army should march." ”

Yun Zheng shook his head and said: "Where is the territory narrow, there will be more people who will suffer, and after Lang Tan blows up the city wall, the army can follow up at any time, just now I saw the military doctor carrying people down, it seems that we have generals injured, let's go and see." ”

The previous words were said to Su Xun, but the latter words were said to Han Niu, Han Niu turned around and ordered the generals to go and have a look, and Su Xun sat back in the mountain bag and continued to watch Lang Tan's troops slowly advance towards the city wall, and he was very dissatisfied with their slow speed.

The flames at the head of the city gradually extinguished, Su Xun immediately waved the flag, the artillery began to bombard the city again, and Lang Tan under the city covered his mouth and nose with a wet towel and also accelerated the speed of the march.

The second ditch was narrow, and one skateboard was enough to lay a bridge on it, so the speed was very fast, and seeing that the phosphorus fire on the ground was extinguished, Lang Tan urged the soldiers to pile up the gunpowder packets they had brought with them in piles on the weakest part of the city wall, and then retreat after lighting the lead.

Countless kilograms of heavy stones fell from the city, as well as thick wood, and even lead water fell from the city, and Lang Tan didn't even have time to hide in a safe place, when he heard a loud noise behind him, and a wave of heat surrounded him, flying over the trench and falling heavily to the ground.

Lang Tan, who had a hand-sick, quickly covered himself with a shield, hoping that no too big stone would fall on him...... (To be continued)
