As the gun emplacement, the commander gave an order, the red flag was unfurled, and the gunners on the gun emplacements loaded the shells, pulled down the rope and then bounced open, and the black shells flew towards the city, accurately landing everywhere in the city.

"Bang ......"

A loud bang rang out, flying sand cracked stones, and mountains and rivers changed color.

Not only were the golden soldiers at the head of the city frightened by this loud noise, but even the Song soldiers behind the artillery road also had their faces discolored.

Yao Rui and the others were also unclear, so they hurried to Guo Hao's side, opened their mouths and asked, "Chief, what is this?" ”

Before the words could be spoken, another round of shelling began, and after the loud noise, everyone felt their ears rumble, and they could no longer listen to the words.

Guo Hao waved his hand and ordered everyone to retreat, just staring at the situation at the head of the city, and the middle man Lu Yong behind him was also focused on the head of the city, and there were people holding a book and recording quickly.

After a long time, the artillery stopped bombarding, and everyone looked at the city again, but they saw thick smoke billowing out, and they were not invited.

Yao Rui's ears were buzzing, and he was relieved, and hurriedly arrived in front of Guo Hao, and asked, "Chief, why is there such a big movement in this cannon?" ”

Guo Hao didn't know the salty power of this cannon in advance, and he was not easy at this time, so he barely calmed down and replied to Yao Duan: "It's easy to say, the cannon was originally a stone-throwing, Your Majesty had an idea a while ago, and ordered the craftsman to make a slight change to the 10,000 enemies, calculate the lead time, and then use the cannon to fire the 10,000 enemies, so that the 10,000 enemies could only be used as a weapon to defend the city, but now they can turn defense into attack!" ”

Yao Rui and the others were dumbfounded. The idea of using 10,000 enemies as cannonballs is really incredible, and it is not up to the emperor how to think of it.

In fact, firearms in the Song Dynasty have already begun to be used. 10,000 enemies, assault artillery, and rockets all belong to the initial application of ground firearms. More than 100 years later, the army in the early Ming Dynasty had the configuration of the Shenji Battalion and began to use a large number of muskets. It's just that at this time, the development and utilization of firearms is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it does not highlight the benefits, so the development is not fast, and using the ten thousand enemies defending the city to use as artillery shells is just a very simple way of thinking, except for Zhao Huan, no one thought of it.

When the dust settled, let each man look at the city. But I saw a row of golden soldiers standing in a row. Many of the castle plates were destroyed, and cork straw had been placed on them all over the tower, and although the enemy threw them with a terrible momentum, it did not seem that the damage was very great.

Lu Yongzhong frowned, and without waiting for Guo Hao and the others to agree, he summoned the general of the artillery team to come and asked, "How many shots, and how is the damage ahead?" ”

"Back to my lord, a total of more than 150 hits, and the end will be visually inspected. Dozens of people were killed and injured by the explosion, more than 10 city plates were damaged, and the corner tower at the head of the city was slightly damaged. The situation is not serious. ”

Lu Yongzhong shook his head and smiled bitterly, this more than 100,000 enemies took half a year, and he also redesigned the rationing of gunpowder ingredients, and the damage caused as a result. I'm afraid it's better to throw a pure stone.

Thinking of the emperor's entrustment before leaving. I just feel bitter in my mouth.

Guo Hao knew a little about the bottom line, and stepped forward to comfort: "The enemy's guards are experienced. On the head of the corner tower city, all parts are covered with chaff cloth bags, and ten thousand enemies cannot be defeated, and throwing stones is also not successful. ”

Lu Yongzhong nodded and said, "Yes, that's true." ”

The rest of the generals didn't know what the two meant, and they all said: "Although the damage is not big, the damage is not much, but the momentum is terrifying, if you keep fighting, the enemy will be scared if you don't die." ”

Guo Hao knew that this million enemies had spent half a year, and now there were thousands of artillery shells available, so he immediately ordered: "Order the goose cart to move forward, the infantry team to the rear, and the two armies will work together to attack the city together." ”

Under the cover of giant shields and tens of thousands of crossbows, they desperately moved forward, throwing bags of sandbags and wooden strips in the moat, and the golden soldiers at the head of the city came to their senses and began to shoot the Song army that filled the river with strong arrows.

Arrows rained down, and the Song soldiers kept snorting and falling to the ground, but the Song soldiers were numerous, and there were more than ten bed crossbows to cover. The remaining soldiers had to dodge the heavy arrows on the one hand, and then shot the Song army soldiers again, which showed that they were a little powerless.

When the moat was filled, the drums in the Song army were loud, and a group of Song troops marched like a wall, with the cave car and the goose cart in front, the sword and brand hand and the crossbowman in the back, and tens of thousands of people were like a red ocean, rushing towards the thin and low city wall of Taiyuan City.

Steep Song army is getting closer and closer, the Jin soldiers and Han army at the head of the city are all on the city, the sound of horns, arrows are like rain, the closer the Song army is, the more dense the arrow rain at the head of the city, accompanied by a trumpet, the buzzing arrow breaking through the air is endless, the arrow is dense, it makes people feel that the sky is bad.

Under the arrows, the cave car and the goose cart are getting closer and closer with a squeaky sound, one is a large chariot loaded with Song army crossbowmen and sword players, because it hides many people in the cave, named after the cave car, the wooden four-wheeled outer leather, the most is hard, but more than ten people in a car, and the people who push the cart are also covered by the wooden planks on the car, even if the arrows rain down, they can not hurt the Song soldiers in the car.

After the cave car, there is a goose cart again, in addition to the lower part is the same as the cave car, the upper part of the goose cart is also connected with a ladder, while traveling, the crossbowmen in the iron hole below keep shooting arrows upwards, and the soldiers who climb the city follow the car, ready to climb the city quickly at the moment when the ladder on the car catches the head of the city.

At this time, not only the Song soldiers who were attacking the city under the city, but also many generals who were watching the enemy's situation from behind the battle, also felt that the city was about to be broken.

If you can get a bird's-eye view of the underground, you will appreciate what a spectacular image it is.

Swords, guns, spears, and spears, such as Lin Ruhai, crowded with people, bright armor, and iron-like Song army infantry formation, almost did not suffer any losses, and directly crossed the trench and pushed to the city.

Cave car, goose car, knife card wall, although the arrows rained down, the killing and wounding were very few, and under the blow of the Song soldiers under the city, the gold soldiers at the head of the city were obviously demoralized, the arrow rain was sparse, and gradually weakened, and even the drums of the city head were dull and weakened.

"Our army will be able to ascend to the city and win!"

Although Lu Yongzhong is a privy plan, but after all, he is in the privy mansion, and he often comes to the battle camp in peacetime, and when he looks at the situation at the head of the city, he sees dozens of goose carts approaching the city wall, once so many goose carts are forced to the city, the ladder on the car is set up at the head of the city, and thousands of soldiers will quickly climb the city, with the number of golden soldiers and Han troops at the head of the city, it is still difficult to deal with the shooters in the cave car and goose cart under the city, and how can they resist the Song soldiers who are swarming up.

"Not necessarily. I think something is wrong. “

As soon as Lu Yongzhong's voice fell, Zhang Jun shook his head and said, "There is something wrong with the situation." ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Xian couldn't help but be furious, and was about to accuse him of shaking the morale of the army, but he heard Guo Hao also say: "I tried it yesterday, although the enemy overreacted, it was actually very disciplined, and that was the work of the main general." Today's siege is so smooth, I'm afraid that something is wrong. ”

He groaned and said, "Let's look at his back hand." ”

The Song army under the city naturally did not know that the main generals were discussing the situation, the highest-ranking officer under the command of the city was only the general level of the commander of 3,000 people, and the generals were overjoyed when they saw that they were about to enter the city, and the military orders were frequent, the red flag was displayed, and the drums became more and more dense, and tens of thousands of Song soldiers under the city shouted together, and the sound shook the sky, which made the golden soldiers in the city shocked.

The battalion commander Yang Zhi was originally the so-called giant Kou, followed the Song River to crisscross the Jingdong area of Gyeonggi, 36 people were rampant, the officers and soldiers had no choice, and later defeated by Haizhou Taishou Zhang Shuye, surrendered to Zhao'an, and after serving as a junior colonel in the Western Army, he was brave and good at fighting and accumulating merits to the post of commander.

Yang Zhi naturally did not know, in later generations someone with their own story to make a slight change, in the name of Yang Zhi wrote a story of Liangshan good man blue-faced beast, at this moment only know the hope of breaking the city, he is used to bravery, after leading the troops to the city, seeing that there is more than one person high outside the city wall, the cave car and the goose car can not go forward for a while, the heart is not anxious, seeing that the subordinates are a little hesitant, can not help the horizontal knife angrily said: "Cut, then, push, are they all dead people, go up and knock down these wooden fences." ”

Under his strict order, many soldiers got out of the car, began to slash and push, desperately trying to get away with the wooden fence that blocked the city wall, just at this time, suddenly heard the Song soldiers behind him kept shouting, although Yang Zhi was just an ordinary middle-level officer, at this time also knew that things had changed, hurriedly looked back, but saw a hundred meters away from the moat, a stream of smoke swayed up, dispersing the Song soldiers who kept catching up, just in the blink of an eye, there were fires everywhere in the original moat, The wooden straw used by the Song soldiers to fill the ditch was somehow set on fire.

"Hurry back!"

Unlike many officers who also came to the city, Yang Zhijing was full of face, knowing that the enemy dug the tunnel under the moat, and then lit the wooden straw that filled the ditch to separate the follow-up of the Song soldiers, and at this time, most of the Song soldiers who really attacked the city were cave cars and goose carts, and a small number of foot soldiers carried ladders on their shoulders as backups, at this time the Jin soldiers in the city must have the next move. How to retreat without a station is the best option.

Yang Zhi's troops retreated first, seeing him like this, the rest of the commanders at all levels were hesitant, and the large array did not send the order to retreat, and retreating at this time violated the military order, although everyone knew that it was better to retreat, but they did not dare to act as decisively as Yang Zhi.

After such a while, the scene of the city is already different from that of Shicai. The morale of the Jin soldiers, who had just lost their souls, was greatly boosted, the arrows rained down intensively at the head of the city, and the prepared stones and horizontal logs were also desperately thrown down the city.

Yang Zhi was sweating profusely, urging all the soldiers to get out of the car, and on the other hand, he ordered his subordinates to form a queue and prepare to meet the Jin soldiers who were out of the city.

He knew in his heart that there were many Song soldiers and few gold soldiers, and it didn't matter if such a consumption was a small loss, and these chariots were not easy to build, and losing one of them was a big loss.

As he expected, at the sound of the horn, the city gate behind him was opened, and a stream of golden cavalry roared out, flashing with swords, and rushed towards the Song soldiers.

At this time, behind the Song soldiers, the sound of the rush to retreat orders finally sounded.
