Chapter 0287 The City is in the People
The army of Zhao surrounded Huaiyin City, but the Jin army in the city was like a turtle with a shrunken head, and they didn't go to battle.
Shi Min had no choice but to let people scold the war, but no matter how ugly they scolded, the defenders in the city turned a deaf ear like deaf people. It seems that the Jin army really plans to retreat in Huaiyin City and not fight!
"King, why don't we attack the city?" After waiting for a morning, there was no trace of the battle in the city, and Wentai, who was on the side, couldn't bear himself and wanted to let the troops attack the city.
But Shi Min didn't agree very much: "Huaiyin City is high and deep, it is an important town in Huainan, and its garrison has at least more than 10,000 people. No advisable! β
"But the Jin army is cowering in the city like this, and we can't do anything." Wen Tai frowned and said, "Right now, the defenders of Huaiyin City are resisting stubbornly, and the Jin State is deploying troops, and when its army gathers, I am afraid that the situation will be very unfavorable to my Zhao army." β
"The widow knows."
Shi Min said again: "Wang Ping, when will the return cannon be transported to Huaiyin?" β
"King Huiyu, according to your orders, the three hundred Huihui cannons we built before came by waterway, and they are already on the way to Huaiyin, and in two days at most, the fleet transporting the Huihui cannons will be able to arrive in Huaiyin."
For two days, Shi Min could afford to wait.
The power of the return cannon has long been reflected in Shi Min's campaign to conquer Liangzhou in the west.
Since Shi Min took power, he has paid special attention to the development and improvement of weapons. Shi Min set a standard for the craftsmen, and the craftsmen who meet the standards are rewarded, and the craftsmen who fail to meet the standards are subject to a certain fine, and the rewards and punishments are clear.
Therefore, Zhao Jun's weapons are all standard, such as swords, guns, swords, halberds must be engraved with the name of the craftsman who made the weapon, and once the weapon goes wrong, the craftsman must be blamed.
In this way, the ordnance of Zhao State is exceptionally good, at least under such a reward and punishment system, no craftsman dares to make shoddy work and cut corners.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! β¦β¦β
Under the city of Huaiyin, the shouts of killing rose to the sky!
The 100,000 Zhao army was divided into twenty huge phalanxes and surrounded all sides of Huaiyin City.
The cavalry is in front, the shield bearer is behind, the standard-bearer is in the center or on both sides of the phalanx, the infantry is in the middle, and there are a large number of elite foot soldiers waving their flags and shouting in the rear.
Looking at a large area of black pressure under the city, this extreme sense of oppression really makes people's scalp tingle!
On the top of the city.
"General, the Zhao army has not launched an attack on our Huaiyin City for two days, and now it has raised a large number of troops to come, but I am afraid that the comer is not good!" A subordinate general beside Cao said worriedly.
"No matter what, the order we received is to hold Huaiyin City. The city is in the people, and the city is dead! Pass the order down, all arms for war! β
"No!"
Soon, when the Jin army at the head of the city was strictly defending, the three hundred return cannons of the Zhao army were placed at the forefront of the phalanx. The shape of the return cannon is similar to that of a trebuchet, but the structure is different, so when Zhao Jun laid out these three hundred return cannons, everyone just looked a little solemn, but they did not have any fear.
Those who don't know are fearless!
Shi Min shook his head and decided to give Cao Ju and the Jin soldiers in the city another chance.
Immediately, a young general with a loud voice flew out and said a hundred steps away from Huaiyin City: "The defenders in the city listen! Heaven has the virtue of a good life! The king of my family does not want to kill too much! So I advise you to lay down your arms! Kaesong surrenders! β
"Take!" A feathered arrow shot out from the top of the city and shot under the young general's horse.
Hum! Act recklessly!
Shame on the face!
Shi Min's face sank, and then he waved the sword in his hand with a "choking" sound, pointed at Huaiyin City opposite, and said loudly: "Return to the cannon and prepare!" β
The gunners around the 300 return guns moved one after another, loaded the stone shells, charged their strength, took aim, and took a few steps in one go.
"Launchβ"
"Whoosh! ......"Three hundred huge stone projectiles pierced the sky like meteors.
Cao Ju's pupils shrank suddenly, and immediately after, countless boulders smashed onto the city wall, and even flew over the city wall and smashed directly into the huge residential area.
All of a sudden, the rocks pierced through the air, and the wails erupted.
The power of the return cannon is very terrifying, at this moment, Rao is Jin army soldiers who have seen some big scenes can't help but be heartbroken, as for the recruits who have just entered the battlefield, they are already scared to the point of urine, the two are fighting, and they almost want to go first!
With a sharp weapon like a return cannon, it is not difficult to conquer the city at all!
Of course, Huaiyin City is worthy of being an important town in Huainan, and the city wall is very strong. If it weren't for the fact that the Hui Hui Cannon had not been available for a long time, and the Jin army had never seen such a thing, I am afraid that this effect would not have been achieved. γ‘ζ°γ€(8)1 Chinese ηΆ²ΟΟΟ.Ο8.1zΡ.cΓ²ΠΌ
Because the city wall of Huaiyin is too strong, it is all made of blue strip stone, so the city wall has become potholes under the destruction of the return cannon, and it has been smashed down one big pit after another, but that's all.
The return cannon can't make a hole in the wall yet!
saw the power of the return cannon, but Cao Ju had nothing to do, and saw that many of the soldiers around him were smashed into meatloaf.
In desperation, Cao Ju could only order someone to raise a shield to resist, but how could a mere shield block a stone bullet with a thunderous momentum? Therefore, the Jin pawn holding the shield was also smashed to the point that his head was broken and bleeding, and he vomited blood and died!
It's not a way to go on like this, Zhao Jun doesn't have many stone bullets, only a few thousand stone bullets, so under a few rounds of offensives, once Huaiyin City can't be broken, then the only thing left is to attack strongly!
Looking at Cao Ju, who was commanding the battle at the head of the city, Shi Min's eyes lit up!
Capture the thief and capture the king first!
"Pass the order! Aim for the enemy commander! Kill the Cao! Bounty of a thousand gold, three levels in a row! β
Suddenly, back to the artillery position, all the gunners had red eyes and aimed their guns at Cao Ju at the head of the city!
Looking at the actions under the city, Cao Yi was taken aback!
"General, run!" The subordinate next to him also shouted loudly.
But it's too late!
Just when Cao Yi was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body and left with his legs, hundreds of stone bullets smashed down like heavenly fire meteors!
"Bang bang bang! β¦β¦β
There was a splash of rubble, Cao Ji couldn't dodge, and several of his own soldiers who followed him were buried under the stone bullets, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead!
Seeing this scene, Shi Min was overjoyed, pulled out the sword in his hand with a "choking" sound, and then shouted: "Kill the widow!" β
"Kill!"
The soldiers of the Zhao army around them rushed towards Huaiyin City from all directions as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
The dense crowd, under the cover of trebuchets, return cannons and a rain of arrows, they howled like divine soldiers!
By this time, the situation on the battlefield had begun to turn one-sided.
Without Cao Yi, the main general, although the Jin army defending the city was not a mess, they had not reacted in a short period of time, and they could not organize an effective resistance.
And in order to take Huaiyin City in one fell swoop, Shi Min didn't hide it anymore, and directly ordered Wen Tai to lead a thousand people to rush up the broken military camp, and finally conquered Huaiyin City at the cost of more than 300 elites!
Around, Shi Min was still heartbroken. New Bayi m.x81zw
After all, the life of every soldier who broke the barracks was very precious, and if he wanted to build such an elite, Shi Min would have to spend a lot of time, financial and material resources.
