Chapter 4003: Artillery Strikes and Weimeng's Army is in civil strife

readx;? There has never been a shortage of emperors in this world who can go down in history, but few are as legendary as Genghis Khan, because his starting point is too low and his achievements are too high. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In ancient history, three people conquered territories that spanned three continents: Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, and Genghis Khan.

Later generations said that Great Britain was once the empire on which the sun never set, but in fact, Genghis Khan's Great Mongol Empire was the earliest empire on which the sun never set.

The Mongols were a people on horseback, which also meant that they could only promote war by fighting and feeding war, so plundering and killing became their natural style of warfare.

They plundered not only food, property and people, but also all kinds of technology!

At that time, the Mongols already had their own set of mature techniques for attacking cities and plundering land, and they plundered the technology and experience of many countries such as the Jurchen Dajin Kingdom, and they were no longer the barbarians who only relied on longbows and scimitars and a rotten life to fight the world.

It is precisely because of this that they are already determined to win Dali, and their attack on Longshou Pass also confirms this, which is most directly reflected in their siege equipment.

In terms of military industry, the Mongols had already mastered very advanced technology, and before the Mongols used the Huihui cannon and the earth-shaking thunder, the Han people did not even begin to pay attention to the great role of firearms.

Therefore, whether it is Guiyou or Kublai Khan, when they stand in front of the last wall of Longshou Pass, their hearts are full of joy of victory, and they think that this wall is just as fragile as tofu dregs, and stepping through this wall is the fat and honey-flowing Dali Kingdom!

Although Kublai Khan's heart had a shadow on the god-like Yang Jing, it has become his mark that he must take the lead in every battle, and this time is no exception, although under the protection of many dead guards, although under the arch of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, he still appeared at the forefront of the battlefield!

Although Kublai Khan's heart felt a little confused and uneasy, the strategists around him thought that the Dali people were cunning enough to know that the Mongols were going to attack at night, and if they lit torches at the head of the city, they would undoubtedly expose themselves to the archers' field of vision and use themselves as targets, which was extremely unfavorable to the Dali people, so it was not surprising that the Dali defenders did not light the fire.

Moreover, the Mongol army has already broken through the four walls in front of it, and now the morale of the army is unprecedentedly high, and it does not take much effort to break through this wall!

Kublai Khan gave an order, the Mongol bow and arrow phalanx took the lead in starting to shoot, the arrow rain quietly bloomed in the night sky, the quiet night was broken by the scream of arrows, and the white feathers of locusts rained all over the sky!

A dense rain of arrows fell on the huge wooden shield, making a sound of Duo entering the wood, like countless dense and solid golden beans falling on the drum surface!

After this rain of arrows, Kublai Khan had the Mongols replace them with rockets, because he needed to light up the night sky, and he needed to set the city on fire to provide a target for the infantry to attack!

The rockets were like stars falling into the world, constantly venting towards the city, and the foot soldiers, who had long been unable to hold back, roared and launched a final charge towards the city with shields and iron spears or long knives!

The people and auxiliaries wore only simple armor, not even decent armor, and they were barefoot, carrying heavy ladders and other things, and kept moving closer to the city!

And at this moment, after the rocket fell on the city, several places in the city were shining with extremely dazzling white light, making a huge explosion sound!

Those are explosives that were inadvertently detonated by enemy rockets!

Although Yang Jing had instructed in advance that the ammunition must be stacked separately and covered, he still let the dense rockets of the Mongols ignite some!

These ammunition exploded, killing and injuring a lot of the surrounding defenders, but such an intuitive killing effect also gave the defenders the greatest confidence, and those who had doubted the power of firearms shut up at this time!

Duan Xingzhi and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, because it turned out that what Yang Jing and Gao Taixiang had worked so hard to do finally worked!

Kublai Khan is a very smart person, he is not a person who is complacent, only knows how to inherit the riding and archery skills of his ancestors, he is very interested in new things, likes to learn and improve, and firearms such as return artillery can show their might on the battlefield, Kublai Khan and others have made great contributions.

When he heard the explosion at the head of the city and saw the flash of the explosion and fire at the head of the city, Kublai Khan finally realized that his uneasiness at the beginning of the war and the ominous premonition in his heart were about to come true!

However, at this time, the army had already poured and crushed towards the city, and it was impossible for him to withdraw his troops in a hurry, and there were many restrictions on night battles, even if he issued an order to withdraw at this time, the soldiers could not see the herald flag clearly, and it became more difficult to pass the military order.

They had planned to break through this wall in one fell swoop, invincible, and never thought that they would retreat!

When these Mongols gradually approached the city wall and entered the effective killing range, Yang Jing and Gao Taixiang met each other, the latter nodded solemnly, and then issued an order to open fire at Du Kefeng!

Several defenders have been holding shields for Du Kefeng to block the arrows fired from under the city, and at this time Du Kefeng shouted: "Ignite!"

"Ignition!"

"Ignition!"

The heralds at the head of the city gradually passed the general's orders, and on the not too long walls, torches were lit one after another, and these torches lit the fuses of the cannons in turn!

"Zizizi"

The fuse is like a glowing snake, swooping into the tail of the cannon!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom!"

Starting from the south side of the city wall, the first cannon spat out a piercing tongue of fire, and the smoke of gunpowder dispersed instantly, and the second, and third, in turn, went north, and the rumble was full of rhythm!

Heavy iron eggs, stone bullets that will turn into countless fragments when bombarded, and even flowering shells that can explode again after being shot out are even in the process of being developed, all poured out from the muzzle of the gun!

And Yang Jing and Du Kefeng also asked the defenders to dismantle all the things in the pass of Longshou Pass, and fill the iron sheets, nails, thistles, and other things into the barrel, and the shock wave of the artillery spray will excite all these bits and pieces, with amazing speed and power, like hidden weapons or stray bullets fired by countless masters, pouring into the camp of the Mongols!

"Boom, boom!"

The shells kept falling, and the Mongols' formation was like a thin layer of milk, which was torn apart by the artillery in an instant, because of the use of new gunpowder, the power of these cannons was many times more powerful than the Mongols' return cannons, and the Mongols fell in pieces like cutting wheat, and there was no time to shout!

This is the wrath of the god of thunder, this is the divine punishment from heaven, this is the cruelest punishment of the immortal heaven to the Mongols who love to kill!

The Mongols were so broken and their souls were scattered, they never thought that Dali would have such a terrifying artillery!

The Mongols, who were good at slaughtering cities and hells, finally saw and experienced for themselves what hell others were like!

Genghis Khan's thirst for killing is a fact, if it weren't for this, Changchun Zhenrenqiu would not have traveled thousands of miles to dissuade Genghis Khan from going north to let him kill less.

Everywhere the Mongols crossed, they plundered and even created a lot of massacres of cities, but this time, they "enjoyed" the treatment of being slaughtered in front of the last wall of Longshou Pass!

The strength is equal, then it is called war, and the strength is crushed, that is the slaughter!

The massacre made by the Mongols with long knives is cold and cruel, and it requires a knife to kill lives, while the massacre made by artillery is indeed blazing, it is a large area and a large area, and it is a harvest of lives piece by piece!

"Retire!"

This is the first thing Kublai Khan said to the commander Guiyou when he returned to the rear of the Chinese army under the protection of the dead guards around him!

His eyes were full of horror, he was so urgent, because when Guiyou hesitated, every moment, a large number of Mongol soldiers were killed by the dozen or so steel monsters at the head of the city!

Guiyou was also stunned, he didn't expect that Dali would have such an advanced and powerful artillery, seeing that it was about to be completed, and after cleaning up Dali, he could go back to fight for the throne with great military achievements, and he could justify his name and make those opponents shut up with confidence.

But now, everything is like a beautiful bubble, quietly suspended in front of his eyes, and when he reaches out to grab it, the brilliant bubble bursts in an instant!

Reason, constantly roaring, telling Guiyou that it was indeed time to retire, but greed and conceit made Guiyu say words that did not obey his own fear!

"The warriors of my Great Mongolian Empire have always relied on bows, knives and horses to conquer the world, even if the enemy has artillery, they can't crush our courage, so that the warriors can use their flesh and blood to destroy these poor creatures who are dying and struggling in front of them!"

When Kublai Khan heard this order, he was immediately stunned, he didn't expect Guiyou to choose conceit at such a critical moment!

In the face of the desperate Dali defenders, they have the advantage, even if they retreat, they can still use the return cannon to fight, or find other ways.

Night battles are already very disadvantageous for the attackers, not to mention the appearance of extremely powerful artillery on the other side, and these artillery pieces do not need to be aimed at all, because the Mongols are too dense!

However, at this time, Guiyou let his conceit and blood blindfold his heart, which is tantamount to letting the Mongols fill it with their lives and exchange their lives for this city wall in the case of dominance!

Guiyou is really in a hurry, he is really like an arrow, for fear that if he goes back late, the khanate will be snatched away, so that he does not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of countless Mongolian soldiers!

Kublai Khan was afraid, he was afraid of artillery, and he was even more afraid of Guiyu!

He was old and no longer a foolish boy, he knew very well that war required sacrifices, but in order to ascend to the throne, he did not hesitate to sacrifice thousands of lives unnecessarily, just to satisfy the desperate desire of his heart to return home.

Is this kind of thing a choice that a successful king must go through?

This military order of Guiyou changed Kublai Khan's view of the leader, and also changed Kublai Khan's life!

The Mongols were already frightened by artillery, the wall was no longer low, no longer fragile, the swarthy city wall was like a ghost gate across the world and the underworld, as long as they dared to take another step, they would step into the abyss of hell from which they could never recover!

However, the Overseer army behind them wielded long knives and frantically slashed and killed soldiers who wanted to escape, such a scene was rare, because the Mongols rarely chose to be deserters, because the fate of deserters would be more bleak than facing the enemy.

But this time, they resolutely chose to be deserters!

Mongols, finally messed up!
