Chapter 1044: Slow Advance
At the end of April, Liaodong was already full of spring.
"Up!"
Wanyan Yinshu can command the soldiers and people to step forward.
The soldiers held large shields and built a shield wall, and behind them were men carrying burdens, which were full of dirt.
The soldiers slowly advanced with their shields in hand, guarding against a sudden attack on the fortress on the opposite high slope, while the men in the rear followed closely until they reached the vicinity of the ravine.
The shields were raised, and the men quickly led the dirt from the picks into the ravine.
"Whoosh!"
A bowstring sounded from the top of the fortress, and thick crossbow bolts flew out of the firing hole.
"Shield!"
Wanyan Yinshu had already prepared, and immediately roared, beckoning the soldiers to defend with shields.
The soldiers at the front immediately stacked their shields on top of each other, and these large shields were made of fine iron, and it took several people to barely lift them.
"The bed crossbow dares to deal with my iron shield!"
Wan Yan Yinshu smiled disdainfully, he had studied these fortresses a long time ago, and the shooting ports on them were obviously prepared for bed crossbows, so he prepared these huge iron shields.
The thick bolt slammed into the iron shield, and the bolt sparked and fell to the ground.
"Haha!"
After finishing the silver technique, he could see the shield blocking the crossbow arrows, and laughed.
"Boom, boom!"
Before he could laugh twice, a violent explosion sounded, and the shield soldiers and people in front of him were directly swept away by the air wave of the explosion, and several huge iron shields also flew towards the surroundings.
"Gunpowder! Hurry back! ”
Only then did he react, and at this time, there were crossbow arrows stretched out from the fortress in the high place, and they were obviously still shooting.
"A bunch of stupid guys!"
Liu Fahaha laughed and looked at the embarrassed fleeing Jin Ren and mocked, their fortress was built so obviously, there was no cover at all, how could there be no hole cards?
"This kind of crossbow bolt filled with gunpowder is very powerful, and it can deal area damage when steel balls are added to it!"
Zong Ze touched his white beard and said with a smile, the damage of the crossbow arrow has always been very simple, and after adding gunpowder, the power is comparable to artillery, and now the gunpowder is hidden in the arrow, which does not affect the accuracy of the crossbow arrow, which can be regarded as a big killer.
"Artillery, put!"
The voice of the Golden Vulture rang out.
On the opposite heights, the sound of artillery was loud, and rows of projectiles hit the opposite fortress.
The projectile hit the fortress, instantly shattering the outer wood.
"Keep banging!"
The Golden Vulture did not stop and continued to order the bombardment, and after the last bombardment was ineffective, they went back and began to study the accuracy, and they found that only accurate hits could destroy the fortress.
"Whoosh!"
In the debris, the crossbow arrows flew out again, and the view of the fortress was blocked, and this time the crossbow arrows did not have a clear target, but hit them far away, and the retreating shield soldiers and civilians were once again killed a lot.
"Throw away the shield and the pick!"
Wanyan Yinshu can roar, the shield is too heavy, and it is difficult for the soldiers to quickly evacuate the attack range of the crossbow arrows with the shield.
"These cannons are very troublesome!"
Liu Fa looked at the artillery that was constantly bombing, these guns had a longer range than the bed crossbow, although the lethality was not great, but if it continued to grind like this, the fortress would be breached sooner or later.
"These golden people are very strange, they have been preparing for more than half a year, how can they attack so tepidly!"
Zong Ze frowned and looked at the Jin army in the distance, it stands to reason that they and the Jin country have a common enmity, and the Jurchens, who have been silent for more than half a year, should be desperate to attack at this time.
"What's so strange about this! The Liaoxi Corridor is here, they suffered a big loss last time, so they dare to come to death? ”
Liu Fa didn't care about this, he didn't believe that the people of the Jin Kingdom could pass through the Liaoxi Corridor he guarded.
"If they continue to fight like this, they will definitely not be able to get by!"
Zong Ze nodded, they had been preparing for more than half a year, and the entire Liaoxi Corridor had become a dead domain, but the enemy's attack was too weak, which made him a little uncertain.
"Are you worried that the enemy will go the other way? Yanshan, do they still dare to go? ”
Liu Fa pointed to Yanshan and said with a smile, in the last year's war, in the middle of Yanshan, Wanyan Agu was killed in an ambush, and the Jin army even left tens of thousands of corpses before fleeing back to the north.
"I'm worried that they will go west, and Kyushu behind the mountain is a problem!"
Zong Ze shook his head and said, the terrain on their side is dangerous and easy to guard, but the Xin, Fei, Confucian, Wu, Yun, Ying, Huan, Shuo, and Wei Kyushu in the west are really difficult to defend.
"What's there to worry about! Lin Chong personally took people there! He's the secretary of the military department! Isn't it better than the three old men of us? ”
Liu Fa opened his mouth and said, Uncle Zhang wrote at night to ask Lin Chong to send someone to the Liaoxi Corridor, but Lin Chong directly refused due to lack of manpower, and only transferred 10,000 recruits.
These 10,000 recruits were recruited in Yanyun, after the Yanyun War, many people were displaced, and the Liangshan soldiers were well treated, and joining the army became a way out for many poor families.
"Also, I'm thinking too much,"
Zong Ze smiled and shook his head, what the battle situation in the west was not something he should consider, now he only needed to guard the Liaoxi Corridor.
"Get out!"
Liu Fa shouted at the fortress that had been bombed for a long time.
In a small hole at the back of the fort, several soldiers quickly ran out.
"Just play slowly, there are enough fortifications outside for them to play for days!"
Liu Fa smiled and looked at the enemy in the distance and sneered.
"Damn, these damn fortresses and ravines are so annoying!"
Jin Wushu gritted his teeth and looked at the destroyed fortress, he bombarded for half a day to destroy one, and there were dozens more to destroy in front of him.
"If you continue to fight like this, you won't be able to reach Jincheng in three or five days, and your gunpowder can fight for three or five days?"
Wanyan Yinshu looked at the golden vulture and asked, they didn't have much gunpowder to prepare, although there was a formula, but the yield could not be guaranteed.
"It's not enough, if you fight like this, at most seven or eight more fortresses will be hit, and the rest will have to be attacked by people."
Jin Wushu shook his head.
"Then let's fight, I'll take care of the rest!"
Wanyan Yinshu can look at the whole fortress.
The fort was uprooted, the ravine was quickly filled in by the people, and the Jin army climbed up the opposite hill, and the artillery was also pulled up, and continued to bombard the fortress on the next high slope.
Zong Ze and Zhang Shuye had no intention of fighting a decisive battle with the enemy, so they consumed the army of the Jin Kingdom.
After fighting for a long time, Jin Wushu looked at the already hot barrel and could only order to rest.
"Give it to me! Straight to the punch! ”
Wan Yan Yinshu stood up at this time, he directly rushed to the opposite side with the death squad, a few wooden planks were laid on the ravine, and the death squad of 100 people scattered and rushed, and the lethality of the crossbow arrows in the face of the scattered enemies was sharply reduced.
"Change the crossbow!"
In the fortress, the soldiers directly switched to crossbows and fired accurately.
"Fall down!"
After finishing the silver technique, he could see the crossbow arrows shooting, and immediately beckoned the soldiers to lie down and dodge this wave of arrows.
After a round of arrows, Wanyan Yinshu charged again with his soldiers.
