Chapter 1190: Artillery Retreat
Northwest winds rose suddenly, and large dark clouds came from the northwest.
"The black clouds crush the city and want to destroy it, and the armor light opens to the sun. The sound of horns fills the sky with autumn colors, stuffed with swallow fat and night purple. Half a roll of red flags is in the water, and the frost is heavy and the cold is silent. repay the king's will on the golden platform, and carry the jade dragon to die for the king. ”
Zong Ze stood at the head of the city and sighed as he looked at the black clouds coming from the top.
"The old general of Zong is so eloquent, but in the end, this dead word is not good!"
Wang Jin looked at Zong Ze with a smile and said, Sun Lei doesn't like the word death, so they don't like the word death, isn't it good for everyone to live happily?
"A soldier must have the will to see death as home!"
Zong Ze didn't think so, he felt that the last dead word was the blood that a soldier should have.
"General Zong, I came back from the ghost gate, I know too well what death is, but I know how precious it is to be alive after facing death!"
Wang Jin said in a calm tone.
"We have these new weapons, and it won't be easy to win!"
Wu Song said with a laugh, and also patted the artillery next to him, these are the new artillery that has just been shipped, the power is much greater than the previous one, and the shells are sufficient, it is impossible for the enemy to approach with these things.
"I think if I get the enemy closer, I can blow them up with these bombs!"
Liu Fa took a grenade and said, this thing he likes very much, it is almost a melee killing weapon, and it is enough to strangle all enemies when used to defend the city.
"Haha!"
Wang Jin and the others all laughed, the supplies that Qi Guo had brought to them were enough to keep them going for a whole year, and there was no problem in dealing with Jin Guo for a few months.
"I don't think the enemy is simple, and the enemy won't have a backup against us for so long."
Uncle Zhang opened his mouth and said, since the last time Du Bai killed for a while, there has been no movement in Jin Guo, and this calm makes him feel a little uneasy in his heart.
"What's so scary, as long as our side is well prepared, we are not afraid of what tricks they play."
Liu Fa said indifferently.
The north wind howled, the black clouds weighed down the city, the temperature soon dropped, and then the snowflakes fluttered, and soon the earth was dyed white with snowflakes.
It snowed heavily for three days in a row, and a thick layer of snow accumulated on the ground.
"Woooooo
The heavy snow stopped for a while, the temperature plummeted, the horn sounded in the Jin Guo camp, and the Jin army marched out of the camp.
Huge trebuchets were pushed out, followed by horse-drawn carts.
"This trebuchet!"
Wang Jin and the others had already seen the equipment of the Jin Army with binoculars.
"How big is this trebuchet? I'm afraid the throw distance is one or two miles! ”
Zong Ze's brows furrowed, and the range could be seen from the length of the trebuchet's arm.
"Gunpowder is also made a lot! This car's car! It seems that this is the time to prepare for this. ”
Uncle Zhang said that the cart behind the trebuchet should be gunpowder.
"How did this recipe get out?"
Liu Fa was a little indignant, gunpowder was an untold secret of the Central Plains, how could it become a sharp weapon in the hands of foreign races.
"It's no secret, folk fireworks are everywhere, and the recipes are pretty much the same, and they can be turned into weapons with a little improvement!"
Zong Ze shook his head and said, he also knew about gunpowder, but in fact, the configuration was not very complicated.
"Then let's see whose gunpowder is more powerful!"
Du Yan looked at the enemy in the distance and said, at this time, the snow was two feet thick, and they couldn't go out to fight in this environment, but this environment didn't have much impact on the Jurchens, they were already used to it.
Wanyan Wu begged to look at Liaoyang Mansion, which was not moving, and frowned slightly.
"Your Majesty, let's fight!"
Jin Wushu couldn't wait to ask for battle.
"Why hasn't the enemy moved at all? Yesterday they were shoveling snow! ”
Wan Yan Yinshu frowned and said, when they didn't move, there was often activity in the enemy city, but when they came out, the enemy didn't move at all.
"Your Majesty, the enemy has always been cunning, it is likely to be a bluff at this time, and now that the Liao River has been frozen, it is impossible for the enemy to have any more supplies in five months."
Wanyan Yan's mother spoke.
"Hit with a trebuchet first!"
Wanyan Wu begged to look at Liaoyang Mansion for a while before he spoke.
"Trebuchet come forward!"
Jin Wushu was overjoyed, and ordered the soldiers with a roar.
One by one, trebuchets were pushed in front of the military formation, two miles away from Liaoyang Mansion.
"At such a distance, the enemy's bed crossbow can't hit at all!"
Jin Wushu sneered in his heart, this trebuchet was their latest large trebuchet, with an extreme range of up to two miles, which could be regarded as the longest range trebuchet in the world.
"Boom, boom!"
Just when Jin Wushu was proud, a cannon sound suddenly sounded in Liaoyang Mansion, and a row of cannonballs hit directly in front of the Jin army's formation, and the cannonballs exploded directly when they hit the front of the formation, and the front of the Jin army's formation instantly turned into a sea of fire.
Jin Wushu didn't have time to react at all, he was close to the trebuchet, and the wave of cannonball explosion directly swept him and his war horse away.
"Protect Your Majesty!"
Wanyan Yinshu Ke and Wanyan Yan's mother shouted and led people to guard in front of Wanyan Wu Qimai.
"Boom, boom!"
The artillery did not stop, the first round was over, and then the second round came again, and the Jin army, which had just been knocked out, was again bombarded by artillery.
"This artillery!"
Wanyan Wu begged to buy a blue face, and he also ordered people to study artillery, but unfortunately the technical content of artillery was too high, and the artillery they came out early had little power and short range, so they did not have actual combat ability at all.
"Your Majesty, retreat away first!"
Wanyan Yinshu hurriedly took the guards to protect Wanyan Wu and retreated.
Round after round of artillery fire, the Jin soldiers were directly scattered and fled, and a large amount of snow was raised by the impact of the explosion, and it was white.
"It's all flesh and blood, and they don't suffer much beating!"
Du Yan looked at the retreating enemy and sneered, nothing is invincible, and nothing is invincible.
"This is an information gap, the enemy does not know that our artillery will have such a long range."
Zong Ze said.
"What method does General Zong think the enemy will use to attack the city?"
Wang Jin looked at Zong Ze and asked.
"The people of Jin are not stupid, they know that with such powerful artillery, the enemy will no longer be arrayed outside the city on a large scale, they are likely to be broken into pieces and attack the city from all directions, so that the artillery will not be so threatening."
Zong Ze shook his head and said, although the artillery is powerful, it is a weapon after all, and there is always a way to crack it.
"Rounded to zero?"
Everyone frowned, but in this way, they could avoid the threat of artillery, and the favorite thing about artillery was that the enemy was piled up, and one cannon could blow up a piece, but if the enemy was reduced to zero, the lethality of the artillery would be sharply reduced.
"Then let the enemy get closer, let's use this to greet them, this is not afraid of him to pieces!"
Liu Fa weighed the grenade in his hand, the cannonball is powerful, so it is not suitable for sporadic combat, but the grenade is not afraid, this thing has a short range and small power, and it is easy to operate, and it is suitable for sporadic combat.
