0353 [New Siege Method]
When one soldier who first arrives in the camp dies, another will immediately come to the top.
One by one, they are not afraid of death.
Get into battle first and capture the flag!
These 1,500 people, as long as they can survive, will be at least nine turns in military merit and promoted to the head of the capital.
Outstanding performers, battalion commanders, brigade commanders are not a problem.
After all, Yue Fei, a living example, stood by their side and inspired them at all times.
From taking refuge in the county magistrate and joining the Qingzhou Army, it has only been half a month now, and he has become a brigade commander from a big soldier.
But none of the Qingzhou soldiers said anything sour, because this was Yue Fei's battle exploits, and he climbed up step by step.
led more than 2,000 Song troops as bait, and under the siege of the 30,000 troops of Jin Wushu, he held on for three hours, which was an errand of ten deaths.
What virtues the Song army had, how could they not know?
The people not only defended, but also survived, and killed more than 30 enemies.
If you are not convinced, you can try it yourself.
……
Seeing that the strong crossbow and the three-bow bed crossbow had been shot for a long time, but it had no effect, Wan Yanchang shouted angrily: "Get out!" ”
"Sons, kill the enemy with me!"
Wan Yanchang held a giant axe, roared in Jurchen language, took the lead, and rushed to the city cave.
"Kill them all!"
One by one, the Jurchen soldiers raised their heads to the sky and roared, like wild beasts, following closely behind.
Yue Fei didn't have the slightest fear in his eyes, and shouted: "Meet the enemy!" ”
Rumble!
The giant shields in the hands of both sides slammed together.
Wan Yanchang relied on brute force, and one of the Qingzhou Army shield men he hit took a few steps back.
Before he could stand firm, a huge axe slashed at him.
Click!
With a crisp sound, the giant axe broke through the iron sheet of the shield and slashed into the large shield.
The violent force shook the Qingzhou army's mouth in severe pain.
The next moment, three or four spears stabbed from the left and right sides, and with a wave of the big shield in Yan Chang's hand, the spears were opened one after another, and the giant axe was raised to split again.
The Qingzhou soldier was in pain, and the big shield in his hand fell to the ground.
The corners of Wan Yanchang's mouth hooked up a cruel smile, his red eyes were full of bloodthirst, and the whole person was like a hungry wolf, rushing into the formation arrogantly.
The giant axe itself was heavy, and with Yan Chang's strange power, those who were hit broke their bones and tendons.
Under his leadership, the Qingzhou army killed by the Jurchen soldiers was defeated and retreated.
The soldiers who arrived in the camp first carried firearms, but they did not dare to use them.
The city cave is too cramped, in this closed environment, once it bursts open, the four shots of sheln will bounce off the wall of the city hole, which belongs to the real killing of 1,000 enemies and self-damage of 800.
"Death to the gold thief!"
A loud shout exploded in the city cave, and Yue Fei held the iron vertebrae in his hand and smashed it on his head.
Wan Yanchang swung a giant axe to meet him, and a little spark appeared, and the piercing sound of metal clashing echoed in the city cave.
As soon as they fought, Yue Fei found that this person's strange strength was not much worse than his own.
Wan Yan Chang was also shocked, in terms of strength alone, even Wan Yan Lou was inferior to him, and now a young general could compete with him.
"Die!"
Wan Yanchang, who was aroused to be ferocious, let out a loud shout, brandished a giant axe and rushed forward again.
Yue Fei was not afraid at all, raised the iron spine in his hand to meet the enemy, and his moves opened and closed.
Boom Boom!
The earth trembled slightly, and the sound of uniform footsteps was faintly heard.
Yue Fei's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "The county magistrate is here!" ”
"Wansheng !!"
The soldiers who arrived in the camp first roared in unison, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
……
When he was still five hundred steps away from the city wall, Han Zhen ordered: "Set up a cannon and fire freely at the city tower!" ”
Han Shizhong and Yu Jun immediately commanded the people to unload the siege artillery from the ox cart and quickly assemble it through the artillery.
In a short time, thirty siege guns were erected.
Check the chamber, adjust the angle, reload, and reload, and the whole set of actions is smooth and all in one go.
"Fire!"
Han Shizhong yelled.
The artilleryman immediately pulled out the fire fold and lit the fuse.
Snort!
The sound of the lead burning rapidly was heard in the ears of the army, and it was only very beautiful, and no matter how much I listened, I couldn't hear enough.
Boom Boom Boom !!
A deafening loud bang sounded like thunder under the night sky.
Thirty siege guns were fired at once, and the power was extremely terrifying.
Even if you are ten miles away, you can hear it clearly.
The light of the fire on the castle tower helped the artillerymen a lot, and it was simply a standard target, better than aiming in the daytime.
In the first salvo, half of the shells hit the tower.
The iron cannonball withered and decayed, and the thick and wide giant shield was shattered in an instant.
The shattered wood chips from the giant shield, like steel needles shot at high speed, caused secondary damage to the Jin army.
"Ahhh!!h
"My legs, my legs !!"
"Help me, help me!"
Above the tower, wails and screams were endless.
The Jurchen Overseers didn't care whether these Liao and Song soldiers were dead or alive, and kept shouting in stiff Liao or Song language: "Quick, fight back with a bed crossbow!" ”
A Liao soldier who was in charge of controlling the three-bow bed crossbow was frightened, turned around and ran.
Swish!
A cold light flashed in the firelight, and the huge human head flew high.
Bathed in gushing blood, the Jurchen Overseers had a hideous face and said in a cold tone: "Escape from the battle......"
Poof!
Before the words could be spoken, a cannonball struck.
Under the gaze of the Jin army, the Jurchen Overseer's head exploded like a watermelon.
Red and white brains and blood splattered.
One by one, the Jin army was full of liver and gall, and there was no fighting spirit in their hearts.
Thirty siege guns, only two volleys, successfully suppressed the Jin army on the city tower.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Han Zhen led his troops to the city wall, and one after another cloud ladders were erected on the city wall, and the soldiers of the Qingzhou army climbed the city wall without hindrance.
After going up to the city wall, the Qingzhou army did not immediately fight with the Jin army, but quickly put up a big shield and occupied a corner.
After waiting for the number of people in a squad to be gathered, the battle began.
In the face of the rushing Jin army, several lit firearms were thrown out from behind the big shield and thrown into the crowd of Jin troops.
There was a loud bang, and more than 20 Jin soldiers fell to the ground in response.
The area above the city tower is small, and the Jin army is more densely stationed, which invisibly magnifies the power of firearms.
The Jin army on the tower of the city was already frightened by the siege shelling, but at this moment, it was bombarded by firearms indiscriminately, and immediately began to rout.
In just a quarter of an hour, the southern city wall was occupied by the Qingzhou army.
Below, three field guns have been loaded, and the muzzles are aimed at the tower.
Han Zhen ordered: "Climb the camp first, retreat!" ”
Hearing the order of the county magistrate, Yue Fei kicked Wan Yanchang in the stomach and led the leading soldiers to slowly withdraw from the city cave.
As soon as the county magistrate arrived, his task was accomplished.
"Kill!"
After Yan Chang's killing intent came up, he saw that the Qingzhou army began to retreat, and immediately led his troops to chase and kill.
chased all the way out of the city gate, and collided with three field guns head-on.
The dark barrel of the cannon, reflected in the light of the torches, reflected bursts of cold light.
The three-point spark, moving rapidly downward, then vanished.
Boom Boom!
Three loud bangs in quick succession.
Wan Yanchang felt that he was hit head-on by a chariot, and the whole person fell heavily on his back to the ground.
The next moment, the pain in the heart came from all over the body, accompanied by a feeling of weakness, and went straight to the brain.
The hundreds of Jurchen soldiers who chased them out were all wiped out in an instant.
Although he had already seen the power of artillery a few days ago, looking at it at this moment, Yue Fei couldn't help but feel frightened.
You know, these are hundreds of Jurchen soldiers, fierce and brave, just now he personally fought with them, and he naturally knew it in his heart.
But it is such a group of tigers and wolves, in front of artillery, no different from local chickens and dogs.
Han Zhen glanced at him and said softly: "Pengju, times have changed!" ”
"yes!"
Yue Fei let out a sigh.
Tonight's battle is the moment to truly show the power of firearms.
In the past, even if they broke through the city gate and occupied the city cave, it would be useless, and in front of the enemy army several times their size, the final outcome would be either all dead in the city tower, or fleeing in panic.
But with firearms, everything is different.
The fortified city, which originally required ten times the number of troops and countless lives to fill, was breached in less than half an hour.
Such a method of attacking the city now, Yue Fei had never dared to think of it before.
On the top of the city tower, the Qingzhou army had completely occupied, condescendingly, and fired a volley at the Changsheng army led by Guo Yaoshi with a divine arm crossbow.
"Retreat!"
The power of the divine arm crossbow, how could Guo Yaoshi not know, and immediately ordered the Chang Shengjun under his command to retreat.
Han Zhen waved his hand: "Enter the city!" ”
"Knock knock~"
The rousing drums of war sounded.
Boom Boom!
Hundreds of Qingzhou soldiers held large shields in their hands and stepped into the city gate with neat steps.
The gunners commanded the Minfu and the Song army, pushing the field artillery, and followed closely.
……
"Du Shuai, the tart is lazy and dies, and the Qingzhou thieves have entered the city!"
"Du Shuai, the southern city is lost, and Guo Yaoshi retreats to the inner city."
Two battle reports in a row, one after another, did not give Wan Yan Zongwang time to think at all.
Boom Boom!
The explosion of artillery and firearms was incessant.
Every time the explosion sounded, it made his forehead throb.
All the Jurchen guards looked at him in unison, silent, waiting for him to make a decision.
Wanyan Zongwang's expression changed for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Withdraw!" ”
The successive retreats were a very big blow to morale.
Wanyan Zongwang knew this very well, but he really didn't have the confidence to deal with the firearms of the Qingzhou thieves.
"Ordered Guo Yaoshi to lead 5,000 Changsheng after the army was broken."
After this order was issued, Wanyan Zongwang led his Jurchen generals and rushed to the north gate to meet Liu Yanzong.
Not long after, the north gate opened, and more than 20,000 mermaids rushed out and disappeared into the vast night.
"Report!"
"County magistrate, Wanyan Zongwang led the army to flee from the north gate."
Hearing this, Han Zhen immediately ordered: "Order Liu Qi to lead the cavalry battalion to pursue, don't be too anxious." ”
"Yes!"
The herald army turned around and ran out of the city, conveying the military order to Liu Qi.
"Out!"
Liu Qi, who had been waiting outside the city for a long time, waved his hand and led the cavalry straight to the north.
……
"Du Shuai, there are cavalry chasing you!"
Without the need for his subordinates to report, Wanyan Zongwang had already heard the sound of the war horse galloping.
Wanyan Zongwang pretended to be calm and asked, "How many cavalry?" ”
The spy replied, "I don't know, there are more than a thousand torches." ”
On night marches, a torch is often lit at a distance of ten paces.
Based on this calculation, the enemy cavalry is probably no less than 6,000.
Wanyan Zongwang didn't know if this was the enemy's ploy, but he didn't dare to gamble, and he wasn't sure if the Han thief would personally lead the cavalry to chase after him.
With the courage of a Korean thief, sending cavalry to intercept it is tantamount to sending him to death.
With this in mind, he ordered: "Abandon the useless baggage, and march quickly!" ”
