Chapter 129: Invincible
readx;
The shelling and blasting were quickly completed, and the demolition engineer team dragged a long lead out of the race. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Seeing that the time was almost up, Buchen immediately ordered the Chinese standard-bearer to send an attack order to the artillery brigade!
At this time, the artillery brigades under the military had been replaced with the newly developed rifled guns, which were equipped with two calibers, one of which was a 120-mm 35-fold gun, and the other was a 200-mm 45-fold gun. The 120-mm guns had the largest number of armaments due to their relatively low technical difficulty, with 120 guns, while the 200-mm 45-diameter guns had only 10 guns.
But don't despise the 200mm cannon because it's too small, it's forty-five times the diameter! Compared with the 120 mm gun, not only the range is longer, the accuracy is higher, and the penetration depth is much stronger! Arguably the strongest artillery of this era, there is no one!
Of course, because these rifled guns are currently front-loading guns, and the ~ projectile is only gunpowder cotton, and the use of cast iron shells is still not comparable to those of the same caliber artillery in the previous life, and even one in the sky and one underground are okay!
But even so, it's no problem to bombard a medieval technologically advanced fortress! Moreover, the main target of these artillery pieces was not the city walls, but the buildings of the city!
Because of Xiaoxi's blind tossing, the architectural style of the Eastern Kingdom and the ancient China of Buchen's previous life are almost carved out of the same mold, so there are no tall buildings in Jingshengguan at all, they are all one- or two-storey houses, civil structure houses, such houses are undoubtedly very wasteful to blast with explosives packs, therefore, the target of rifled guns is mainly them.
Of course, in order to achieve the best damage effect, the rifled guns are loaded with white phosphorus burning ~ incendiary bombs......
It is conceivable what will be the result of the bombardment of a Chinese-style building with a civil structure from a rain of white phosphorus shells......
Soon, the demolition team that received the order ignited a few reserved leads, and saw that the flames on those long leads sank into the gate city at a great speed, and then ......
"Boom !!"
"Boom !!"
"Boom !!"
“……”
As if there were several muffled thunders in the flat ground, the explosive packets that had been arranged in various parts of the gate city were detonated one after another, and suddenly, the two tall gates stuck in the middle of the mountain pass were splashed with earth and rocks, and collapsed under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes!!
"Oh my God!" Qu Shouyi and Qu Ziduo had already rushed to the side of the city wall facing Jingsheng Pass at this time, and witnessed the destruction of Jingsheng Pass through the "Clairvoyant Mirror" transmitted from the Western Continent, and their shocked faces were about to crash their brains!
At this time, in the military array outside the city, Buchen seemed to be able to see the reaction of the Qu family's father and son, grinned, and said in a cold tone: "Don't be in a hurry to be surprised, it's not over yet!" ”
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the sound of rifled cannon fire, which was much clearer than the smoothbore gun, rang out one after another!
One hundred and three caliber-sized white phosphorus shells flew out of the barrel after rotating at high speed, and then swept away like a meteor shower!
In just an instant, the victory level turned into a sea of fire!
……
That night, in the flower hall in the palace of Weiyuan Wang.
"It's horrible! It's horrible! Qu Ziduo covered his face with his hands and muttered, although several hours had passed since the bombardment and shelling of Jingshengguan by the Buchen army, once he remembered the scene at that time, he still couldn't help but feel palpitations! The hairs stand on end all over the body!
Qu Shouyi was sitting at the top of his son at this time, although he was not as unbearable as Qu Ziduo, but his face was also pale, and his expression was solemn!
"Lord Wang, that's the case, the thief of the world didn't use an afternoon at all, it only took less than a quarter of an hour to destroy the Jingsheng Pass, in the eyes of the last general, if he attacked Weiyuan Wangcheng in this way, I am afraid that Weiyuan Wangcheng will not last for a moment and will be turned into a blank land!" Qu Shouyi made a summary of the battle situation report in a deep voice.
"Righteousness! It's not April Fool's Day in Xiyi, is it? Don't be kidding Lone! ”
Qu Yongchen, who had just rushed over from the banquet, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with a hand towel and said, at this time, this Weiyuan vassal king was not only full of alcohol, but also had a vermilion lip print on his face, and he looked like he had a lot of fun just now!
"Lord Wang!" Qu Shouyi sighed heavily, "The fire in the Jingsheng Pass hasn't been extinguished yet!" If you don't believe me, go to the walls and see for yourself! ”
With a "snap", the wet hand towel fell to the ground!
"So...... So, it's true?! Qu Yongchen's old face suddenly turned pale!
"Lord Wang, the enemy is currently here, how can the last general joke with you?!" Qu Shouyi was angry and anxious.
"The sky is going to kill my Qu family!" Qu Yongchen didn't pay attention to Qu Shouyi anymore, but his knees weakened, and he fell to the ground with a plop, and then howled and cried!
"The ancestors and the ancestors are above, and the ministers are incompetent, so I want to cut off the Qu family! Fathers and ancestors, I am sorry for you! ”
Seeing Qu Yongchen crying pitifully, Qu Shouyi couldn't help but feel a little heartache, but as a general, he could still remember his duties, but his eyes were red and reminded: "Lord Wang, the matter has come to this, what's the use of crying?" Let's think about what to do! ”
"What to do?" Qu Yongchen stopped crying bitterly, and stared at Qu Shouyi with a desperate face: "It only took a quarter of an hour for the thief to destroy the victory level, how long can it take to destroy Weiyuan Wangcheng?" We're all going to die without a place to bury! What's the point of struggling?! ”
"How is it pointless?!" Qu Shouyi stood up from the chair in annoyance, "Lord, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of running out of firewood, now clean up and take His Royal Highness the Prince to break through!" The last general is incompetent and can't defend this city, but he is still a little confident in using this life to escort the prince's family to escape! ”
"Escape?" A glimmer of hope appeared in Qu Yongchen's eyes, but it was extinguished again: "If I lose Weiyuan Wang City, is my Qu family still the Qu family?" It is better to die with this city! ”
"Hey!" Qu Shouyi looked at Qu Yongchen's nest and stomped his feet, if it weren't for being a general, he would even have the heart to kick Qu Yongchen!
"Father, let's go!" Seeing that Qu Yongchen began to cry endlessly again, Qu Ziduo came to Qu Shouyi's side, pulled down his sleeve and said, "The prince has lost all his thoughts, and it's useless to say anything!" ”
"Alas!" Qu Shouyi sighed, didn't look at Qu Yongchen again, and walked out of the palace flower hall with his son.
……
At the same time, outside the city, at the gate of the military camp of the Minister.
"There is General Lao Zhixiong!" Buchen arched his hand and said to Qu Zhixiong, who was about to return to Weiyuan King City.
"It's too serious! Since this plan is made by Zhixiong for the non-minister, then Zhixiong naturally has the responsibility to make it all the way around, and this time he will return to the city, and he will definitely bring back a paper covenant with the non-minister! Qu Zhixiong bowed to Buchen and said in a solemn tone.
Buchen nodded with satisfaction, as Qu Zhixiong said, the strategy of destroying the Jingsheng Pass and scaring the Weiyuan Mansion by force was indeed made by him. Moreover, for now, the effect of this strategy is very good, and now there is only one last step left - let Qu Yongchen sign the alliance under the city!
"General Zhixiong, take care! If the alliance is successful, I will be grateful! Buchen promised.
Qu Zhixiong shook his head and sighed lightly: "No, although Zhixiong promised to defect to you if there is an accident in the future!" But Zhixiong is now a minister of the Qu family, and he has offered you this plan to harm the master's family, which is already disloyal and unrighteous to the extreme! This thank you will be forgiven! I only hope that the unsuccessful minister can do what he says, expel the beast captives, and restore Donghua! ”
"I'm a man who counts! General Zhixiong rest assured! "The way of uncertainty.
"That's it!" Qu Zhixiong saluted Buchen again, "That Zhixiong went!" ”
"General let's go!" Buchen nodded.
Qu Zhixiong immediately straightened his waist, turned over a healthy horse next to him, whipped the horse, and galloped towards Weiyuan Wangcheng!
"No, can this person believe it?" You Chengzong, who was following behind Buchen, frowned and said.
"Of course!" Buchen didn't even think about it, "Qu Zhixiong may not be a trustworthy gentleman, but he is a completely smart person, and people like him will not make stupid choices!" ”
"I hope so!" You Chengzong shrugged.
