Woooooo

The north gate is closed, the flag is in the air, and under the blowing of the strong wind, it is waving in the wind. The horn was hoarse, imposing, echoing in the sky; The beating drums of war are surging.

At this time, in the North Gate Pass, Li Jing, Li Xiaozhi, Wei Hu, and the three generals were all there.

"Report! General Qiyu, the 50,000 army of the Liao army, is less than five miles away from the North Gate Pass! ”

……

"Report! Twenty Hongyi cannons, the shells are loaded, waiting for the general's instructions! ”

……

Good guy, one command after another, quickly echoed in Li Jing's ears. He stood on top of the pavilion, overlooking the boundless grassland outside the Guan, this moment! The commander of this battlefield is all in his hands.

Facing the 50,000 Hun army that was already approaching the North Gate Pass, there was no trace of fear and panic on his face. On the contrary, it was the hot blood flowing in his body that made him extremely excited.

He had been waiting for a long time for this battle, and vowed to annihilate the Hun army without leaving a single person.

"General Li's divine calculation, the Hun army, sure enough, still bypassed the king and attacked the North Gate Pass." Wei Hu climbed the city tower, and his words were full of unstinting praise.

Hehe...

Li Jing chuckled, then shook his head slightly, and said: "Commander Weihu, it's not that I'm a god, but the king is shrewd and peerless, and I have long expected that the Liao army will inevitably attack the North Gate Pass, so!" I was transferred to Beimen Pass to lead the military affairs of Beimen Pass. ”

The Liao army's attack on the North Gate Pass was indeed what Dongfang Yu secretly guessed. But he didn't want to, Huerzan and Cook really fell into his hands, led a large army, and wanted to take advantage of his lack of time to take care of the rear on the front line, and take the North Gate Pass and capture the North Liang.

In general, Huerzan still underestimated him too much. Even more underestimated, the secret guards under his command. Dongfang Yu's secret guard, dressed up and disguised, but he is very proficient, maybe! On the way to the front line and Beiliang, under a piece of turf, there may be a secret guard.

Actually! The march route of the Liao general Huerhuod has long been touched by Dongfang Yu very clearly.

Of course! Li Jing's talent is nothing to say.

At this time, there were 10,000 forbidden troops in Beiliang, 5,000 stationed at Wuguan and 5,000 stationed at Beimen Pass; The 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Li family army were all pulled to the North Gate Pass.

The North Gate Pass is about to deploy troops, a total of 15,000; Hongyi cannons are deployed 20 guns, divided into five on the left, five on the right, and ten on the middle. Zhongguan is the focus of the enemy's attack, and the firepower must be the concentration point.

But at this time, there were only 5,000 forbidden troops and 10,000 Li family troops in the North Gate Pass, all of which were not in the pass.

The lineup of the Li family army is not all composed of foot soldiers, among them! 3,000 cavalry, 7,000 foot soldiers.

"Commander Weihu, your deputy commander of the forbidden army, five thousand forbidden troops, under your command! How this battle is fought, I will command it in a unified manner! Li Jing said.

Wei Hu clenched his fists and said: "Everything obeys General Li." ”

To tell the truth, in terms of official position, the identity of the deputy commander of the Weihu Forbidden Army is a little bigger than Li Jing's official position. But in the camp of the Qin army, there is only obedience and orders.

Click! Click! Click!

"Where is the North Gate? I'm finally here! Looking at the North Gate Pass, which was getting closer and closer, Callhod finally showed a smile on his face.

"Herald! The army was encamped three miles away. ”

"An hour later, the army immediately attacked, and caught him by surprise!"

"No!"

Time! It is the best condition to grasp the fighter, Huerhuo received the military order, and he did not stop along the way, for fear of delaying the fighter.

"General, our army is already very tired from running thousands of miles, will it be ...... to attack the city at this time?" the adjutant general felt that it was inappropriate, and it was difficult to say clearly.

Hehe!

On Huerhuo's face, he couldn't help but smile, "The main force and generals of King Qin are all mediating with His Majesty on the front line, and how many troops can stay in Beiliangde?" Even if there are some soldiers and horses, they may be ordinary officials in the county or county. ”

"The front line is tight, and if our army can take Beiliang earlier, Your Majesty's pressure will be reduced a lot. Do according to the general's wishes, and when the North Gate Pass is taken, the general invites everyone to drink wine and eat meat. ”

I don't know where Huerhuo got his self-confidence, and he actually despised the North Gate Pass so much.

And at this time! The 10,000 Li family troops sent out by Li Jing also began to act.

The 10,000 Li family army was divided into three parts, left, right, rear, left and right with 3,500 foot soldiers, and the rear army was 3,000 cavalry led by Li Xiaozhi.

At this time! The Liao army was sleepy and tired, and if they tossed and attacked the city again, even if they consumed physical strength, it was estimated that they would have to consume half.

An hour later!

The soldiers under Huerhuo's command scribbled their stomachs and rested for a while! The horn of the barracks assembly sounded like a nightmare. It can be seen that the Liao army, which has been coming from a long distance, has slackened a lot physically and mentally after resting for an hour.

And they went lightly, carrying only the ladders for the siege. If you want to cover the siege, you can only look at the archers and foot soldiers.

40,000 Liao troops, forming a formation, pressed towards the North Gate.

Knock knock~

"It's coming! Come! ”

"General, the Liao army is coming, 40,000 troops, only one mile away from our army."

The soldier came to report.

Li Jing took hurried steps, climbed the main building, and looked at the army under the city, both nervous and a little excited. This is the first time he has led his troops into battle, and! Or a big war.

"Herald! Hongyi cannons, all reloaded, do not have to wait for the enemy to stop, immediately fire. ”

"No!"

Waste less saliva, and take the lead in catching the enemy by surprise.

The Hongyi cannon does have advantages in design, the barrel is long, the wall is very thick, and it is gradually thickened from the muzzle to the tail of the gun, which conforms to the principle of high to low chamber pressure when gunpowder is burned.

There are cylindrical lugs on both sides of the center of gravity of the gun body, and the gun can adjust the firing angle with this axis and change the firing range according to the amount of gunpowder; It is equipped with a crosshair and a light gate, and the trajectory is calculated according to the parabola, which is very accurate. Most of the Hongyi cannons are about 3 meters long, with a caliber of 110-130 mm and a weight of more than 2 tons.

Hongyi ammunition is programmed and "cannon table" is used. In addition, its tail is thicker, has tail beads, and has cylindrical lugs on both sides of the center of gravity of the gun body, which the gun uses as an axis to adjust the firing angle and change the firing range according to the amount of gunpowder.

The gun body is equipped with a crosshair, a light door, and the trajectory is calculated according to the parabola, and the accuracy is very high. The Hongyi cannon is carried by car and can run at will.

Of course, compared to the range of the Frankie cannon, the Hongyi cannon shell is hugely powerful, but in terms of range, it is not comparable to the Frankie cannon.

Range is an important measure of performance for heavy artillery, even today. According to the data of the same type of artillery in the West at that time, the earliest batch of Hongyi cannons used in the Battle of Ningyuan had an effective firing range of about 500 meters, and the maximum firing range was less than 1.5 kilometers.

Since then, it has been continuously improved, so that the effective firing range has reached 1,500 meters, and the maximum firing range has reached 2.5 kilometers.

At this time, the Hongyi cannon guarding the north gate is naturally the Hongyi cannon with a maximum range of 2.5 kilometers.
