More than 300 stone cannons outside the city fought for half a day, and four or five thousand rounds of stone bullets splashed dust and fog to cover the sky and the sun.

There were many traces on the city wall, and the defenders were flesh and bones, and Wanyan Lou took the opportunity to launch a new round of offensive.

The former leather room army roared and killed the head of the city, and Lei Heng and Yao Xing led the Song soldiers to defend and refused to bow their heads.

Some of the people were still wailing, some had drawn their swords and rushed to the city, some took advantage of the chaos to escape, and some fought with their lives.

There is the one who speaks fiercely, and in the face of death, he finds himself very vulnerable.

Some people don't say a word, but when the time comes, they refuse to back down.

Scenes of all beings, performed in the scene of life and death, everyone revealed their truest appearance.

With the lack of support of the officers and soldiers in the city, countless heroes of the rivers and lakes, and even ordinary people, rushed to the city wall without hesitation.

Among these people, some people want to protect their homes, some people want to make sense in their hearts, some people want to become famous, and some people even just want to indulge in the pleasure of Fanlou and other places.

But whatever their intentions, the moment they took up their blades, they became the heroes of the city.

For example, there is a person named Long Yi, the people in the rivers and lakes call the "flaming dragon", it is a famous player in the two Guangzhou, Guangzhou, and one area, last year to Bianliang to participate in the martial arts, to return to his hometown, because he was blinded by the fireworks in Bianliang, he was exhausted for a while, and had to live in Tokyo.

In order to make a living, the man surnamed Long was a martial artist, joined a local gang, blackmailed businessmen on weekdays, and oppressed the good, and soon became the general status of Niu Er, the "hairless big worm" back then, and the people at the end were afraid of ghosts.

And this year, the Liao people and the Jin people have besieged the city repeatedly, so he only watched it lively, and he didn't feel that it had anything to do with him.

Until recently, the Jin soldiers attacked the city very tightly, many people and high-rollers helped defend the city, there were such brave heroes, the market competed to recite, and a few Oiran people, free entertainment for those meritorious people, this guy couldn't help but move his heart-

He has a long-cherished Oiran lady, who only hates that he has no money to enter her tent, but now is not the best opportunity?

Then he also made up his mind, picked up the spear and went to the city, and wanted to use the head of the golden soldier to have a spring breeze.

This person is also a scheming person, seeing the sound of killing in the city, he cheated and urinated, escaped from the team, and waited until the team rushed up, then quietly touched and tiptoed up.

Sure enough, there was a mess on the city wall, and no one cared about the trail, so he took the opportunity to jump out, and the gun came out like the wind, stabbing four or five golden soldiers to death in a row, either piercing the back of the heart, or poking the waist, none of them were fighting head-on.

You must know that these leather room soldiers are also extremely good at fighting, although there is no advanced martial arts, but with tacit understanding and ruthlessness, if they are placed on the rivers and lakes, they are famous heroes, and they may not be able to withstand the joint efforts of a few of his pawns.

Long Yi killed several people in a row, and was naturally ecstatic, thinking of wanting to be famous, he pulled his throat and shouted: "A certain 'Flaminous Dragon' Long Yi, who is here to kill the golden dog for the country, who dares to fight me?" ”

After shouting, he wanted to hide back on the trail first, and then find an opportunity to repeat the old trick.

However, the battlefield is ever-changing, but it is not comparable to the battle in the rivers and lakes.

Without waiting for Long Yi to dodge, Lei Heng covered his bloodied left arm and rushed over.

But it was Jin Guomeng who killed Yelu Ma five on the city, the big knife was unfolded, killing people like cutting weeds, Lei Heng saw it, jumped to fight, two you came and I fought for more than ten times, Lei Heng returned the knife slightly slowly, ate him a knife and injured his arm, weak to make the knife, had to run to escape.

Yelu Ma Wu recognized Lei Heng as a brave general, how could he let him live? Chase all the way.

When Lei Hengzheng was cornered, he suddenly heard Long Yi calling for a name and fighting, thinking that he must be a good hand, so he hurriedly ran over, shouting: "Brother Long, this golden general is skilled in martial arts, you and I join forces to fight him!" ”

Long Yi was shocked inexplicably, and when he was about to refuse, Yelu Ma's five strides came to kill, and the sword was unleashed, enveloping him early, although he hated the silver teeth frustrated, but he had to dance the gun desperately.

Lei Heng carried the knife with one hand and stepped forward to respond, but Long Yi's gun, if it was in Liangshan, it could only compete with Zhu Gui and Bai Sheng, that is, Du Qian and Song Wan, and he was much more luxurious than him, where could he stop a general like Yelu Mawu?

Lei Heng saw that the situation was not good, so he had to shed tears and withdraw first, feeling guilty in his heart, and apologized loudly: "Brother, you can rest assured, the name of 'Flaminous Dragon' Long Yi, Lei will never forget, and I will spread it for you when necessary." ”

Long Yi: "Convex (⊙▂⊙)"

Soon, the "old merry" Wang Huan led 500 forbidden troops to help, and happened to encounter Lei Heng, telling him that the Jin general was fierce, but Wang Huan was not afraid and came to greet him.

He was dumped by Tong Guan, wronged, trapped in prison for half a year, and now he has to be Meng Zhaoxue, is about to find someone to get angry, a spear, so that the flowers are splendid, and there is a "winged tiger" to beat the side drum, Yelu Ma Wu is also difficult to resist, so he has to throw out the big knife, pull out a vacancy, run a few steps, jump out of the city wall, hold a ladder and slide down the city, only to escape with his life.

Not long after, at the other end of the city wall, the "Kaishan Tiger" Zhang Kai heard that the west of the city was in danger, and also led seven or eight hundred people to kill around the city.

These two old Jiedu are all new forces, and the two ends attack together, and it is easy to kill this Liao army.

Look at the city wall, the blood on the flat ground is half a foot deep, and two rivers of blood are rolling down the trail and horse road, and the soldiers and civilians in the city are all stunned.

Lou Mu saw that the city had not been broken, and the artillery carts that had been built in a hurry had been damaged by nearly half, so he had to collect the army, and asked people to pick up and repair the artillery carts for the next day's attack.

By the light of day the next day, Lou Room woke up from a full sleep, and when he went out of the camp to see, he was stunned first.

How are you? But on the city wall, which was still empty yesterday, fifty or sixty artillery carts were erected overnight!

These artillery carts are not as monotonous as those in the Lou Room Army, with all kinds of different forms! Tall and short, large and small, the largest of which is almost like a house!

Don't talk about Lou Room, Wang Huan, Zhang Kai, Lei Heng, and Yao Xing are also dazzled.

Yesterday's battle, the Song Dynasty soldiers and civilians suffered more than 5,000 casualties, half of which were injured by artillery trucks, Yao Xing hurriedly went to see Liu Yanqing, and told him that if he went on like this, he would inevitably lose in two or three days.

Liu Yanqing's face did not change, and told him: "The official family has a clever plan to deal with it!" ”

That night, he led a short, black-and-red-skinned soldier to inform everyone that this was a famous artillery player in Tokyo, "Thunder" Ling Zhen! Fang just got the official family to see him, and he was named the deputy commander of the palace and the strong general on the spot, and he was rewarded for his meritorious service.

This is a dignified four-grade official position, and for Ling Zhen, it can be described as a step to the sky!

Why are the officials so generous? According to what Liu Yanqing said, but when they met, the official family was worried: "Even though Aiqing's artillery methods are wonderful, now the artillery trucks in the city have long been destroyed, but I don't know how long it will take to build a new cannon." ”

Ling Zhen said: "Your Majesty don't worry, the last general has been in the armor warehouse for many years, he has nothing to do, and often makes cannons, and in the past seven or eight years, he has made many parts, and he only needs to have a skilled craftsman to help assemble them." ”

The joy of the official family is not trivial, and he was moved to tears, and said again and again: "When others are free, they only care about flattering and making money to get promoted, but Aiqing is studying his own business in his spare time, and when he is in danger, he has to have a heavy weapon to control the country!" If civil and military officials are like Aiqing, why is my Great Song Dynasty like this? ”

At that time, Ling Zhen was named the general of the fourth grade, and he asked people to recruit carpenters and blacksmiths in the city, and sent them all to Ling Zhen for use.

Ling Zhen was also unambiguous, led people to the armor warehouse, moved the large and small parts he had built over the years, and went to the city to guide the installation, what single-tip artillery, double-tip artillery, five-tip artillery, seven-tip artillery, sleeping cannon, tiger squat cannon, whirlwind cannon...... The whole nine yards.

There is even an iron cannon, shaped like a long barrel, with a wall thickness of two inches, specializing in pounds and weights, iron bullets, which are extremely far away, and if they meet, everyone and horses will be shattered.

There is also a kind of "flint cannon", which is a cannonball, which contains gunpowder in an iron can, mixed with thistle terrestris, and ignites its cord with fire, and the cannon falls and fires, and the sound shocks for hundreds of miles.

The only pity is that these large and small artillery trucks are all made by Ling Zhen to sharpen his skills, and the number of each is limited, like the iron cannon, there is only one, and the artillery shells are only seven or eight rounds, and the rest are freshly chiseled stone shells.

But even so, because there are many seven-tip and five-tip artillery carts, according to Ling Zhen, it is enough to compete with the other party's 300 artillery carts.

Liu Guangshi saw these artillery trucks, his courage increased, and he made a plan, that is, to preempt the cannon to take the lead, Liu Yanqing listened to his son's plan, and hurriedly said Ling Zhen.

However, it was said that Lou Mu saw that there were many large and small artillery carts on the Bianliang city wall, although he did not know its shape, but he also knew that it was extraordinary, and he couldn't help but stomp his feet and complain.

How are you? But it was the golden soldiers, after yesterday's artillery battle, only the broken artillery was pulled back to rest, and the intact more than 100 artillery carts were still lined up outside the camp, but they were different from the target?

Before he could call someone to drag the artillery cart, he saw a wave of the red flag on the city, Peng's sound, a single-tip cannon was launched, and a two-three-pound stone bullet fell in a flickering manner, smashing in front of the golden artillery array, about five or six zhang away.

Lou Mu was stunned for a moment, but heard Yelu Yanxi scream: "He has dozens of artillery trucks, how can he only shoot one cannon, is there no artillery hand, or is it not as good as the reserve stone bullet?" ”

Lou Mu was overjoyed when he heard this, and said in his heart that it couldn't be like this, if it was like this, no matter what today, he would have to fight the city, otherwise when he had saved enough shells, wouldn't it be fun?

Immediately ordered people to blow the trumpet and prepare to attack the city in advance.

Poor Lou Mu or Yelu Yanxi, but none of them can play artillery, they only use the artillery cart as a large bow and arrow, and pay attention to all the shots.

He led people out of the camp to attack the city here, who knew that on the city wall, Ling Zhen was just a test shot.

At this moment, he was squinting his eyes, carefully looking at the landing point of the cannon, and stretched out his finger to gesture for a long time, then nodded, and started from the first cannon, and adjusted it by himself, or moved some whisker directions, or cut some cables, or put a long rod, and was very busy.

When he was done here, the two 10,000-strong Jin soldiers had formed a formation outside the camp.

Ling Zhen turned around and looked at it, and said happily: "That's it, this Marshal of the Jin Kingdom is so generous, is he in a hurry to give us credit?" ”

snatched the red flag from the deputy's hand, waved it vigorously, and shouted: "Discharge the cannon!" ”

With a command, dozens of artillery trucks started in unison.

The entire city wall seemed to shake with the shaking of the cannon carts.

Nearly two hundred stones, flying from the city wall, crossed a long arc, and fell in front of the camp in pieces under the frightened eyes of the golden people.

More than 100 artillery carts in front of Jinying were smashed in half in an instant, and wooden blocks and iron frames flew down in all directions.

Half of the stones fell in the array of golden soldiers, although they only killed dozens of people, but the psychological lethality was extremely great, and all the troops exclaimed in unison, their legs were weak and they were afraid to collapse.

Wang Huan clapped his hands again and again: "What a cannon, it's so powerful!" It's a pity that I have been defeated again and again, otherwise I would have given me 3,000 cavalry, as long as the artillery shells were farther than our army, wouldn't I have led our army to kill them? It's the Jurchen army, I'm afraid it can't withstand the stones above, and the cavalry below! Tsk, alas, alas. ”

Everyone didn't know that he had unintentionally said the heavenly opportunity of infantry and artillery coordination, and they were all amazed.

Especially Liu Guangshi, his eyes were shining, and he secretly wondered, how could I hook this person to be a subordinate general under my command, if this person comes, he will be able to make meritorious contributions from afar, and he doesn't have to take risks to fight, isn't it natural for me to be in line with my temperament?

Just thinking about the official body of the fourth grade, which is taller than his own family, he can't help sighing.

In the praise of everyone, Ling Zhen just smiled, but went to operate the cannon himself-

The iron cannons, the iron bullets, and the flint cannonballs, were all new things, and no second artillery player could play with it except himself.

Lou room, seeing the precision and sharpness of the Song army's artillery car, was also shocked, and then looked at the morale of the army, knowing that it was difficult to attack the city today, he hurriedly shouted gold and led the troops back to the camp.

Unexpectedly, Ling Zhen personally operated a seven-tip cannon, and at the same time ignited seven stone artillery shells, and the order was fired, and hundreds of people pulled the ropes together, but when they saw seven fires, they slipped into the sky, fell to the golden camp, and landed on the ground, seven explosions were connected into one, and in the firelight, the people in the golden camp shouted horses neighing, and a large tent burned.

Lei Heng's eyes were straight: What a wind cannon! This guy ...... This thunder, if he hadn't earned him to go to Liangshan, wouldn't Lao Tzu come to Bianliang for nothing?

I secretly made up my mind in my heart, I will go to Qiao Daoqing today and let him try to make a claim!

He has been working with Qiao Daoqing these days, but he knows some secrets of Taoism, such as many Taoist techniques are extremely powerful, but if they are used to kill mortals, it is taboo! If you are not careful, you will turn your Taoism into flowing water.

Therefore, most of the warlocks used in the battlefield were auxiliary spells, such as blind spells and illusions, and the real killing still relied on the swords and guns of the generals.

Or like Qiao Daoqing did with Lao Cao, find a geographical location, use spells to cause floods, etc., in short, try to avoid direct killing.

But Ling Zhen's performance today opened Lei Heng's eyes, and the stone bullets in front of him were just fine, like only seven wind and fire cannons, so powerful that they were not inferior to spells, but they could be used freely, how could people who had mastered such big killing weapons not be pulled under their own command?

He was still thinking that Ling Zhen had gone to operate the iron cannon, and everyone was curious to watch.

You must know that all kinds of artillery carts on the city wall, although they are different, there is always no basic basis for pulling the arm and throwing artillery shells, just like a big knife and spear, although the form is different, the essence is the same.

However, this long barrel is an ordinary iron cannon, but everyone has never heard of it.

Fortunately, Ling Zhen saw that everyone was curious, and he was willing to explain it to them, so he immediately said while operating: "The truth of this cannon is different, but it is the strength of the gunpowder explosion, my cannon barrel is impermeable, I will put gunpowder first, then charcoal, and then iron bullets......"

But he poured a lot of gunpowder through the muzzle of the cannon, compacted the long pole, wrapped a piece of red coals in silk, threw it into the muzzle, and then loaded it with a round iron bullet, replaced two people, and pushed the barrel out of the city wall.

"As long as the coals burn through the silk, the gunpowder will explode, and the explosive power will have nowhere to vent, so the iron bullet will be burned red and pushed out, and the power is infinite. Ah, General Liu, you can't stand behind the cannon......"

Before the words fell, there was a loud bang, and an iron bullet flew out, and the two or three thousand catties of cannon body shrank sharply after looking at it, and it hit Liu Guangshi's thigh.

Liu Guangshi flew out without saying a word, knocked over a group of Song soldiers, and then fell to the ground, where his thigh was hit, his flesh and bones were eroded, and he screamed two or three times, tilted his head, and passed out.

On the city wall, there was a sudden chaos.

Lou Room was shocked by the wind and artillery, and he didn't know how many such artillery shells the Song army still had, but only a few rounds, and it was a test firing, so he hurriedly ordered a retreat.

However, at this time, the soldiers and horses were in a mess, all running around, Yelu Ma Wu drew his sword, and cut a few chaotic soldiers in a row, only to barely stop the chaos, just about to speak, suddenly called out his life, a red light flew by, Ye Lu Ma Wu's upper body was blown into meat sauce, splashing Lou Room became a red man!

For a while, both sides were in chaos, but they didn't know that at this moment, at the east gate of Bianliang, a small team of fierce gods and evil family members, taking advantage of the guard to open up and lead people to aid Xicheng, suddenly killed, killed dozens of officers and soldiers in a row, and split the lock and seized the door!

is the so-called: the first cry of iron and thunder bombarded the sky, and the generals both gave up. The long-legged Oba has a broken long leg, and the Khitan fierce man is half gray.
