Chapter 1085: Bombardment and Indiscriminate Bombardment
Zhen Cheng.
The army of Qi was arrayed outside the city, and rows of artillery were aimed at the walls of Zhencheng.
After a night of reinforcement on the wall of Zhencheng, the entire city wall has a sense of copper and iron wall.
"How? Have faith? ”
Sun Lei looked at Ling Zhen, if he could break Wang Yu's defense, then Liangshan's artillery would be really invincible.
"I will do my best!"
Ling Zhen saluted.
The artillery quickly erupted tongues of fire, and Ling Zhen did not bombard indiscriminately with flowering shells at the beginning, but bombarded the fortifications on the city wall with solid shells of different calibers.
After a few rounds of fighting, Ling Zhen finally tried to find a few gaps in the enemy's defense.
"There must be bed crossbows hidden in those places!"
Ling Zhen said with certainty that the defense on the city wall was very targeted, the outside of the sand bag was made of bricks and stones, and then there were logs outside, which had enough cushioning, which made it difficult for the shells to break through the defense.
But the walls of the city can't be all such strong fortresses, if it's a monolith, where to attack? Although defending the city pays attention to a defensive word, it must also be able to fight when the enemy attacks, otherwise the city will still be difficult to defend.
"Swap out the bullets and aim for those places!"
Ling Zhen immediately ordered to the artillerymen beside him.
"Boom, boom!"
A cannonball landed near the crossbow holes that had just been probed.
The power of the flowering bomb was very great, the sawdust flew, the dust and smoke were raised, and those shooting holes were directly blown open, and the ironclad defense instantly revealed a gap.
"Quick, transfer the bed crossbow! Shield forward, reinforce the defense! ”
Wang Yu shouted and commanded, he didn't expect the enemy to discover the weakness of his defense so quickly.
Wang Yu was very helpless, in the face of artillery, he could only hide behind the cover to be bombarded, but the bed crossbow did not dare to withdraw, once the enemy was withdrawn, he would use a trebuchet to attack at close range, and the power of the trebuchet to drop bombs was far greater than that of artillery.
"It's okay, our defense is strong enough, and the enemy can't break it!"
Liu Guangshi said with great confidence, this defense was built by him last night, he kept watch all night yesterday to prevent the enemy's sneak attack, but the enemy did not appear overnight, so he watched the construction of the fortifications all night.
The bombardment continued, and Ling Zhen targeted the gap bombardment, as long as the shells could penetrate the gaps, they could blow up a section of defense.
"Just blow it up, I'm going to blow up this turtle shell!"
Ling Zhen said with a smile.
At this moment, shields appeared in those gaps, and they actually blocked those gaps with flesh and blood, and sandbags and logs quickly blocked the gaps.
"Trebuchet!"
Ling Zhen was waiting for this moment, the artillery did not listen, the trebuchet had been pushed out, the explosive bags were directly put on the trebuchet, and one by one the explosive bags were thrown on the city wall.
"Boom, boom!"
A loud explosion rang out above the city walls, and the strong defensive line was blown up in dust, and the logs outside were blown everywhere.
"That's how you need to fight!"
Sun Lei looked at the siege battle with satisfaction and said with a smile, this is the war he likes, fire suppression, covering the strike, and finally cleaning the battlefield.
"What's the point? In the end, it depends on the people, and whoever can hold out until the end will win! ”
Lu Zhishen has a different opinion, in his opinion, the instrument is just an external force after all.
"When I fought with the Tangut people in the past, I also fought like this, it looked terrible, but in fact, it was not, you just blew up the city wall, and in the end they will still fight with you in the street, that is the battlefield like a meat grinder."
Lu Zhishen pointed at Zhen Cheng and said, even if it is so indiscriminately bombarded, the enemy still has no intention of retreating, and it is likely to turn into a street fight in the end.
"Haha, then I'll blow up the city!"
Sun Lei laughed, street fighting is always terrible, but if there is no alley, how can there be street fighting?
"You just rely too much on equipment, it will take days to blow down the city wall, how much gunpowder do you have to use? If the enemy is in a hurry, he will raid at night and continue to defend during the day! Puzhou is close to Liangshan, and if you are far away, gunpowder will not be able to support it! ”
Lu Zhishen still shook his head, he still insisted that war is based on people and supplemented by weapons.
"There's some truth to that!"
Sun Lei touched his chin and thought.
"What does it mean to have some truth? It makes sense! ”
Lu Zhishen blew his beard and glared, the war is no joke.
"It's just that the equipment is not powerful enough, otherwise you will see what it means to be wiped out!"
Sun Lei smiled, manpower is very small in the face of the atomic bomb.
The bombardment continued, and the addition of trebuchets left the city in waves, the logs covered on the outside were long gone, and the stones beneath were scattered, revealing the last layer of sandbags.
"Bed crossbow shooting!"
The seed master seized the opportunity to reload and commanded the bed crossbow to counterattack.
The bed crossbow of the Song Dynasty was really no joke, the crossbow arrows were fired accurately at the trebuchet, and the thick crossbow arrows hit the trebuchet, and four or five trebuchets collapsed with a bang.
"Reload!"
Ling Zhen yelled and urged.
"General, the barrel is red, it needs to be cooled!"
The soldiers replied to Ling Zhen, they had been bombarding indiscriminately all morning, and the artillery was already overwhelmed, and they couldn't water it at this time, if they watered, the cannon barrel would be damaged.
"Where's the artillery in reserve?"
Ling Zhen gritted his teeth and asked.
"Preparation is also used!"
The soldier reported back.
"Damn, it's almost!"
Ling Zhen gritted his teeth, if he could fight for two more hours, Zhen Cheng would be broken.
"Trebuchet stand back!"
Although Ling Zhen was unwilling, he still ordered the trebuchet to retreat, and now it was the time for the enemy's bed crossbow.
"Your Majesty, Your Minister......"
Ling Zhen pleaded guilty to Sun Lei, but was stopped by Sun Lei.
"It's okay, it's a good game, the tactics are out."
Sun Lei said with a smile that although there has always been artillery in their army, it has always been used as a surprise soldier, which has led to the fact that the artillery has not been integrated into the military formation, which is also because there has never been artillery in the millennium war.
"It's up to you next."
Sun Lei looked at Lu Zhishen and Wang Jin beside him and said.
"Shield carts, shield soldiers, and crossbowmen come forward!"
"Prepare first!"
The trumpet sounded at the same time.
The shield cart was pushed out, and the shield soldiers surrounded the shield cart to take cover, and the crossbowmen were behind it, and in the rear were the first soldiers who were covered in iron armor and carried the ladder and pushed the chariot.
"Bow and crossbow!"
The king roared when he saw the enemy's army coming.
The crossbowmen in the city were on guard, and the cauldron covered with dust behind them was also found, and they immediately set up the pot to boil water, and some people found wood and lit it, and prepared to leave the city.
"Bed crossbow, put!"
When the seed master saw that the enemy was within range of the bed crossbow, he immediately gave the order to shoot.
It's a pity that the shield cart naturally restrains the bed crossbow, and the thick crossbow arrows can't help the shield cart, and they can't hurt the enemy behind the shield cart.
"You're not the only ones with bed crossbows!"
Shi Jin roared, and a bed crossbow fixed to the carriage began to fire at Zhen Cheng.
"Shoot back!"
There is no fear among the breeders, and when it comes to bed crossbows, who can be more powerful than them.
It's a pity that the bed crossbow of Qi is no longer a simple crossbow arrow, the crossbow arrow is filled with gunpowder, and it bursts open directly when it hits the city wall.
"What?"
The seed master was shocked, he didn't expect the enemy's crossbow bolts to explode.
