Chapter 339: Test Firing
In the Great Xia military camp, Marquis Wu Sheng sat on the upper seat and ordered: "Inform you to continue to attack the city today, strengthen the intensity, use the ladder regiments to attack the city in turn, keep the military strength of the three battalions attacking the city at the same time, and do not give them a chance to breathe." ”
"Yes!" immediately a general ordered to go down to inform him.
"That poisoner was in Liao City before, right?" Wu Shenghou asked again.
"According to Tanma's description, it should be him. One of the generals below clenched his fists and said. Speaking of the poisoner, the faces of the generals below were uncomfortable.
After all, no one wants to meet such a person on the battlefield, and it would be too embarrassing to be poisoned without even having a chance to use the knife.
Fortunately, this time everyone was prepared.
"Wu Ma Grass has been sent down, right?" Wu Shenghou said lightly.
"According to the general's orders, they were all sent down. The general replied immediately.
Dozens of doctors died in Great Xia before they found out that the toxins left in the Nine Pavilions, Lianyin Mountain Pass and Luoyue Gorge were all the same, and found a way to alleviate it, which was a common witch horse grass in the northwest of Great Xia, which was slightly poisonous, but it just happened to alleviate that toxin.
Just put the ball in your mouth and put it in your mouth, you can relieve the toxin. In this kind of open field, even if the other party uses poison and witch horse grass, it will not cause much damage. As for the side effects of witch horse grass, it can be completely ignored.
In the morning, after breakfast, the Great Xia army began to lead troops to attack the city after arranging their military formations, and shouts of killing were heard from three directions.
In the south of the city, there are also many exploration horses, and there are also teams of rangers.
However, the empress, Li Qianqiu and others didn't have much pressure, but watched Ren Baqian fiddling with the drone with great interest.
Waiting for the drone to take off, Li Qianqiu and the other generals were amazed again.
Half an hour later, the drone fell, and Ren Baqian roughly drew the layout of the military camp in the east of the city according to the picture, and then compared the details one by one.
The fence outside the Great Xia military camp is only three meters high, but after jumping over the city wall, it is sprinkled with thistles, which is specially used to prevent the ancient clan from climbing over the wall and attacking at night.
And in the barracks, there were four cannons of the kind that Ren Baqian had seen facing each barracks gate.
The Great Xia Army also made a lot of efforts to prevent the night attack of the Gu Clan.
Fortunately, Ren Baqian came early, and the Gu clan didn't have time to attack at night, otherwise I was afraid that I would suffer a small loss.
At this time, with the map, everyone immediately knew all the weak points in the barracks, and also found several places where grain and grass might be stored.
Two drones were used to shoot the Daxia military camp outside the east gate and the north gate at an altitude of 600 meters, and the batteries of the two drones were charging, and Ren Baqian was looking at the pictures of the Daxia military formation and attack taken by the drones one by one.
Each photo is full of a sense of slaughter, which is extremely shocking.
Ren Baqian thinks that if any photo is taken to the earth, it can be selected as one of the top ten photos of the year.
In the afternoon, Ren Baqian carried the mortar on his back on the city wall, the sound of shouting and killing was up and down the city wall, the whole city wall was full of people, more than 20 cloud ladders were set up on the wall, and the soldiers of Daxia climbed up the cloud ladder with flying crossbows, and they were cut down with a knife just after they climbed the city wall, and fell down with a scream.
From time to time, there are captains such as Captain Wu who are more skillful and climb the city wall to stand on the wall, but they will not hold on for a minute and fall off the city wall.
The archers of Great Xia below the city wall had reached a distance of about 100 meters below the city wall, and they shot long arrows at the top in rounds.
"Go get some straw men!" Ren Baqian immediately shouted subconsciously when he saw this scene.
"What did you say, my lord?" Shi Hu asked, swinging his knife and slashing down a few arrows that shot in the direction of everyone.
"Get some straw men, these arrows fall down and the arrows are broken. Ren Baqian pointed to the arrows behind him and fell on the stone building below, with a look of hatred that iron could not be made of steel.
These arrows are much better than the bone arrows used by the ancient people, and the arrows in the city are a little less, and these arrows can just be replenished. However, if the arrow hits the stone and collapses, the flight will be unstable and the arrow will not be usable.
After speaking, Ren Baqian glanced at the outside of the city wall, then immediately retracted his head, and went down the city wall with a mortar on his back, and shouted at Shi Hu: "Quickly let Master Li get some straw men and put them on the city wall, and then get some wood and straw and the like to spread behind the city wall, these arrows can be used when they are recovered!"
After shouting, Ren Baqian found a flat place for the mortar, adjusted the angle according to the shooting table and scope, stepped on the bottom of the bracket with one foot, and pointed to the guard next to him: "Come and hold on to this!"
When the guard held the barrel in place, he put the cannonball in and let go, and then quickly covered his ears.
With a slight "clang" sound the shell fell to the bottom of the barrel, the firing device at the bottom of the shell was touched,
"Bang!" the shell burst out of the barrel with gunsmoke.
The voice was a little smaller than Ren Baqian imagined, a bit like the sound of popcorn breaking on the street when I was a child.
Ren Baqian ran quickly towards the city wall, and only halfway through the run, he heard a "boom" sound from outside the city.
He climbed the city wall and hurriedly looked for the location of the cannonballs.
It's easy to find, just see the next big crowd of people.
The radius is 20 meters, which is more than 1,000 square meters.
Ren Baqian probed and saw a piece of people falling on the ground behind the archers, at least three or four hundred casualties, and many people didn't know where they flew.
The steel balls in the shell flew in all directions at the moment of explosion, knocking the people in range like a sieve.
At the same time, the explosion also detonated countless fire points and fell around, igniting the clothes of many soldiers, and the area was in chaos.
The few lucky ones who escaped stood in the pile of corpses, looking at the tragic situation around them and listening to the miserable howls of the wounded, all of them with dull expressions on their faces.
And the people around were also taken aback by this change, and many people were a little dazed, completely unaware of what was happening, looking at the remnants of those people, with a frightened look on their faces.
For these soldiers, slashing with real knives and guns is not the same thing as this kind of attack that doesn't know what is going on.
Soon they rushed towards the walls again at the urging of the rear.
"It's crooked!" Ren Baqian spat at the mouth.
But it's even more powerful than I expected.
There are four or three or four people in one shot, three or four thousand people in ten rounds, and twenty or thirty thousand people in seventy rounds, and you can knock out a third of these Great Xia soldiers by running two times by yourself, and if you run quickly, you can make the Great Xia army outside the city cry and go back in a month.
But this is just thinking about it, the Great Xia Army is not a fool, it is estimated that it will be able to find a way to reduce casualties after a while, and if the other party is not so dense, it will not have such a big result.
"Lord Ren, this thing is really powerful. Several of the guards were in amazement.
Ren Baqian didn't bother to pay attention to them, this thing was already a modern standard equipment, and of course it was powerful in the eyes of these people.
I took an electric baton at the beginning, and they all looked at it as an artifact.
Having determined the position, Ren Baqian ran down the city wall again, adjusted the angle of the mortar, and fired another shell.
"Boom!" A cannonball suddenly fell from the rear of the archers of the Great Xia Army, and countless steel balls shot towards the surroundings like bullets, and a large puff of fire was scattered around.
The four rays of steel balls smashed the archers in front of them and the shield soldiers in front of them into a sieve.
Ren Baqian went up to the city wall and carefully identified it for a long time before he spat and foamed: "MD, it's crooked again." ”
Go back to the city again, adjust the angle, fire the cannonballs, and fire!
"Boom"
Ren Baqian climbed the city wall and looked again, only to see that an artificially made unmanned belt appeared below.
Everyone in the range turned into corpses and wounded people lying on the ground wailing.
It's still a little crooked, but this time the distance is acceptable, just ten meters crooked.
For Ren Baqian, this is already an acceptable range.
After the fight, call it a day.
Ren Baqian returned to the City Order Mansion with a mortar, and the empress, who was concentrating on watching the TV series, raised her head and asked, "I heard that the effect is good?"
"It's really good!" Ren Baqian gave a thumbs up.
"You want to use this night raid?" asked the empress again.
"It's burning grain, and by the way, it's a night attack. "Ren Baqian corrected it.
After a while, Li Qianqiu, who heard the news, also hurried over, and laughed when he met: "Governor Ren, I heard that you have a good thing, try it for me!"
"I'll let you see it in the evening. Ren Baqian waved his hand.
"Okay!" Li Qianqiu was overjoyed. Now that he has the blueprints of the Great Xia military camp and the sharp weapons in the hands of Ren Baqian, he can finally teach those Daxia people a lesson.
......
Not long after Ren Baqian left, Wu Shenghou looked at the several shields in front of him inlaid with a lot of three-millimeter marbles, and frowned.
What is it this time again?
He suddenly felt that there were some variables in this war.
Where did those brutes get their hands on some of the most lethal weapons?
The day before yesterday, catapults in three directions were destroyed, and today there were thousands of casualties in three loud bangs.
The situation was completely beyond his expectations.
If the other side continues to use this weapon, how can it be stopped? And there are already two weapons that have never been seen before, are there any others in the hands of those barbarians?
And below him, the faces of the generals were ugly, and what Wu Shenghou thought was exactly what they thought.
