The so-called six-pounder cannon was a unit regulation created by the British Empire. Shen Guang has always felt that the imperial system is anti-human, isn't it good for you to get the metric system well, it is very unfriendly to the scumbags when converted!

By the metric standards of the Napoleonic era, a six-pounder was 84 mm, an eight-pounder was 108 mm, and a twelve-pounder was 121 mm.

You see, that's a lot easier to understand.

In fact, the cannons of later generations are more likely to use Miss 75, 88 can openers, 105 classics, and the 125 super smoothbore cannon installed on the 99-type heavy tank later by the rabbit family, which are all famous good things.

It's a pity that there aren't any now.

Even so, the first artillery attack in the history of human warfare was still shocking, and the not-so-strong walls of Shinno Castle were bombarded by 20 six-pounder guns, but they collapsed in two rounds.

"Green onion duck! Brothers, follow me! Guo Jing was wearing Cangyun heavy armor, carrying a 2-meter-long Mo knife and rushing out of the position first, the vanguard was the first brigade of the first division of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and the commander was Zhang Shun, the newly joined general of the Righteous Army.

The man who would have died on the battlefield of Xiangfan frowned, Guo Jing, as the commander of the entire army, actually rushed into battle with a knife, but it was he, the brigade commander, who became the commander-in-chief of the front line, which really made him smile bitterly.

Huang Rong was also in the command headquarters as his superior, and the popular royal sister motioned to the maid to make a pot of hot tea for Brigade Commander Zhang, "Brother Jing prefers to take the lead than commanding Ruoding in the back, he said that General Zhang is experienced, and with you deployed in the back, he can rest assured that he can rush into battle and kill generals, and move his muscles and bones." ”

Her identity is good to say, what else can Zhang Shun say? The original anger couldn't help but dissipate a lot, and if you think about it, a commander like a god of war is quite useful for boosting morale.

The soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army were also armed to the teeth, covered with lightweight, high-strength steel armor on the outside, and wearing a stab-proof suit on the inside.

The spear team, the Mo knife team, and the bow and crossbow team, the combination of each class is reasonable, although because it is a new recruit, it is inevitable that there will be chaos on the battlefield, but in general, it is still to play out the things in training. With a peerless master like Guo Jing as the vanguard, although the gap on the city wall that was blown out by the cannonballs was immediately filled by the Yuan army, Guo Daxia's Mo knife swept through the thousands of troops and cut the Yuan army at the slope into two sections, and the hot blood and corpses rolled down from the masonry, and most of the "corpses" in the upper body were still alive.

"Kill!" Wu Xiuwen followed his master closely, stabbed straight in the spear, pierced the chest of a ten-master of the Yuan army, and then threw the corpse out with the help of force, smashing several Yuan soldiers.

"I told you that the battlefield is dangerous, hurry back, you stupid woman!"

"Be careful!" After Yan Ping's scimitar set up a spear that attacked Wu Xiuwen, and then wiped it along the pole, Yuan Bing howled miserably, holding his left hand with four broken fingers and hurriedly retreated, and was stabbed to death by Wu Xiuwen, who reacted. The girl from Jin Guo wrinkled her nose, "Hmph, you see I just saved you!" ”

"Nonsense, what are you women doing here!"

"Meng Yuan is my enemy who is not in the same gold, how can such a good thing as killing Mongolian soldiers leave me, people don't need your protection, you take care of yourself!"

"You ——!"

Wu Xiuwen was a little lost temper by this alien girl who suddenly followed, and was about to continue to speak, when Guo Jing's majestic voice came from the front: "Xiao Wu, you protect her, you dare to be distracted on the battlefield, are you trying to find death!" ”

The two children who were scolded shrank their necks in unison, "Na, this is the master who asked me to protect you, and I will settle accounts with you when I go back!" ”

Wan Yanping grimaced behind him, didn't dare to be idle, clenched the handle of the knife, and rushed into Xinye City with the large army.

The supreme commander of the Mongolian army, an old friend of the people of Xiangyang, the commander Chang Que was carried by his subordinates and retreated to the north gate, where the only hope for life was born.

"Let go of me, let me die with the city, so that the Mongolian warriors will not be afraid of the baby soldiers of the Southern Barbarians!"

The commanders and centurions under his command all pouted their lips and rushed towards the north gate with their heads buried in them, as if they had not heard the words of the commander.

Originally, according to their assumptions, there were more than 20,000 people in this 10,000-person team plus the general army of Hua Thorn Zimo, although there were many injuries in the previous war, in addition to the 5,000 cavalry cruising outside the city, there were more than 10,000 people in the city, how could the 30,000 people in the Song Military Region take down the city.

Unexpectedly, they actually recruited the thunder, and this battle could not be fought.

According to the rules of the Yuan army, if the commander of an army dies in battle, all the officers under him will be executed.

Quite simply, if you fight bravely, shouldn't you die before the Lord?

Therefore, in any case, they must take the elder out of the city, otherwise, even if they run back to the capital, they will be beheaded by the Great Khan.

"General, Guo Jing is unstoppable, it's too much of a loss to fight with this kind of master in the city, we went out of the city and joined the cavalry team to regroup, this is not our city, why defend it!"

That's right, the Yuan army didn't fight desperately, which is also a reason, and it's not to defend the country, how can you defend the city with the Song army, and everyone will be united? Originally, they had many complaints about giving up the advantage of cavalry and hiding in the city, but since the city was broken, then everyone should get on their horses and leave quickly.

The first division entered the city to suppress, and the second division of Xie Yunliu, the son of Jingxu, was not idle, and the thousands of cavalry that Chang Que had high hopes for were suppressed by more than 10,000 military crossbows of modern technology. Wind! Gale! In the roar, 5 rounds of continuous throwing, more than 50,000 crossbow arrows crossed a distance of hundreds of meters, the arrows rained down, the blood flowed like a river, and the alloy arrows of the three-edged armor-piercing shot were not at all able to withstand the weakly armored Mongolian light cavalry.

This attack was completely unexpected by the cavalry commander. According to the original composition of the Great Song army, although their crossbows are also very strong, where is the reason that the whole army is archbowmen? Have you all considered hand-to-hand combat?

Modern military crossbows are easy to operate, very light in weight, and the luxurious configuration of a repeater crossbow in each person's hand made the Mongolian warriors not expect it at all, and they immediately suffered a big loss.

After the Xinye War, the situation in the north of Xiangyang was completely stabilized, and when Prime Minister Cao Cheng beat Uncle Liu Huang violently, he also went to Xinye first, and then conquered Xiangyang, which shows the importance of Xinye's geographical location.

And it's not far from Pingdingshan, where there are 10 billion tons of raw coal reserves, 330 billion tons of sodium salt, and 1 billion tons of iron ore. Compared with the complicated situation in the south under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, this very critical Central Plains is the node that Shen Guang must take next, as long as the Pingdingshan area is occupied, the raw material problem that plagues Shen Guang can be easily solved.

The national teacher personally sat in Xiangyang City, Guo Daxia won the battle, the world shook for a while, and the rebels from all sides came to vote, and the new third division has been formed, which is also a large establishment of 15,000 people, according to the standards of the Great Song Dynasty, it is actually considered an "army", such as the Changjie Army and the Baokang Army.

While Shen Guangxi was farming, Xiaolongnu quietly left Xiangyang, and even her follower Yang Guo didn't notice it.

The goal is to end in Nanshan, the true school.

I want to see if you're Yin Zhiping, hum!
