Chapter 410: Sting

There is a saying of "stinging" in the 24 solar terms.

Animals are hidden in the soil in winter, do not drink or eat, and are called "stings". The so-called stinging is that under the shock of spring thunder, these dormant animals wake up and start to move.

The seed master is an all-round talent, otherwise he would not be called a slight minister, so he thinks that at this time, what sounded in the direction of Mizhi Village was a stinging spring thunder.

However, no matter how clever he was, he couldn't guess that these spring thunders were the "thunderstorms" sent by Ling Zhen and the gunners, and the stings were indeed stinging, but it was the Yinzhou soldiers who were lurking on the other side of the Wuding River.

Zhao Kai, who was standing by the river, was already stunned by this spectacular siege of the city, it turned out that the battle could still be fought like this?

Just now, he was still standing in the dark night, and chanted a song of Chen Tao's "Journey to Longxi" by the Tang Dynasty to the phosphorescent dry bones by the river:

"Swear to sweep away the Huns, regardless of their lives,

Five thousand mink brocade mourned Hu Chen.

Poor and uncertain riverside bones,

It's like a person in a spring boudoir dream. ”

But in the blink of an eye, the picture changed, and with the deafening sound of thunder, the opposite city of Yinzhou, which was occupied by the Tanguts, turned into a sea of fire.

Does anyone know what the effect of the combination of Thunder Ling Zhen and the Divine Operator Jiang Jing is?

With Bai Sheng's wonderful match, Jiang Jing could make Ling Zhen's artillery hit the best accuracy in the past!

After passing the test of the subject that Bai Sheng had left to Jiang Jing before, Jiang Jing was able to calculate the firing elements of the artillery without trigonometric functions! As a result, each of Ling Zhen's cannons could hit the target that needed to be bombarded the most.

Under the reflection of the firelight, on the surface of the Wuding River, there is a temporary pontoon bridge.

There is no need for someone to swim across the river, Ma Ling can step on the hot wheels and "fly" to the opposite bank against the water, and then use a long rope to connect the two banks, and the sappers can lay pontoon bridges along the long rope.

Along the way, the "caravans" transported not only artillery and gunpowder, but also enough bridge equipment and materials.

When the flames of Yinzhou City rose to the sky, there were already a thousand knife sharpeners in ambush under the city, and once Fan Rui's chaotic talisman was used, he could enter Yinzhou City to harvest the heads of the defenders.

Bai Sheng stood beside Zhao Kai with his hands in his hands, he felt that in this horizontal mountain, his team was invincible, as long as the enemy did not know the existence of his artillery.

The enemy could not know the existence of the artillery, because neither the carrier pigeons flying in the sky nor the heralds running on the ground could escape the net he had laid out.

There is Hai Dongqing cruising in the sky, which can catch all suspicious birds, and on the ground, there is a divine horse Ma Ling patrolling around the city, and once he finds that someone has escaped from Yinzhou City, he will immediately be killed with a gold brick.

And those enemies in the city who can judge that Yinzhou City has been shelled will become dead in the blink of an eye.

The startled spring thunder not only woke up the Xixia people in Yinzhou City, but also woke up the men and women in Mizhi Village, but they didn't dare to go out of the village to check. Because they received orders from the old breed to guard against anything.

When the sentinels who climbed the watchtower to inspect found that a fire had broken out in Yinzhou on the other side of the river, they excitedly reported it to the guards, who still gave the order to strictly guard the walls and gates of the fortress to prevent the enemy from cheating.

From the first shot to the occupation of Yinzhou City, it took less than half an hour before and after.

Bai Sheng was going to fight a blitzkrieg, and he needed to take all the walled cities in the Hengshan region that belonged to Western Xia in the fastest possible time.

Because he was worried about encountering ups and downs, and he was worried that the Western Xia Kingdom would react and take corresponding measures to retaliate.

He soberly believed that the invincibility of his army in the Hengshan area did not mean that it was invincible in the entire territory of Western Xia.

He always felt that even if he had artillery and mages, he might not be able to bulldoze Western Xia all the way.

If Western Xia was so easy to fight, I am afraid that it would have been destroyed by the Great Song Dynasty long ago. Ling Zhen's artillery was certainly sharp, but it could not crush the Iron Harrier in the field, which was the consensus between him and Di Lie.

Especially knowing the history of the Ming Dynasty, which had artillery in later generations, was still defeated by the Manchu Eight Banners Cavalry, he understands how immature the current artillery is.

Then the Dharma Master, the Great Song Dynasty always had the assistance of enlightened people like Zhang Tianshi or Lin Lingsu, why did they not participate in the war between the Song and Xia countries in the early days? There must be a reason for this.

Let's not talk about the reasons for this, let's just say that in "Water Margin", Song Jiang has Gongsun Sheng and Fan Rui; Tian Hu has Qiao Daoqing and Ma Ling; Wang Qing has Li Zhu and Kou Wei; Fang La has Bao Daoyi and Zheng Biao; Great Song has Lin Lingsu and Gao Lian; and Liao has He Chongbao.

But were there any mages in the Western Xia and Jin countries? If not, then why were the Northern Song Dynasty destroyed, the Liao State also destroyed, and the four great Kou of Fang La, Song Jiang, Tian Hu, and Wang Qing were all destroyed, but the Western Xia was not destroyed? On the contrary, the Jin State ruled the north of the Yangtze River?

Bai Sheng didn't know why, but it was certain that even if some countries and armed forces had mages, they would not be able to dominate the world based on them.

Therefore, Bai Sheng also didn't think that he could destroy Western Xia by relying only on artillery and the two monks Fan Rui and Ma Ling, so he would rush to fight a blitzkrieg.

Only by occupying the territory in the northwest region of Hengshan can he be regarded as gaining a firm foothold in this game.

And in this blitzkrieg, Silver State will be the foundation on which he will continue.

He kept the 20,000 horses that Tian Hu's men had taken refuge in, of course, they were not suitable for eating for nothing, and at the same time, they were not used to attack, but to defend the city.

First of all, hold the base area of Yinzhou, and then you can capture other cities and fortresses, and if you capture one, you will allocate some people to defend it, and use 20,000 peasant troops to defend the castle that was originally held by 50,000 infantry in Western Xia, and you are still a little nervous.

Therefore, he asked the knife sharpeners from Mangdang Mountain to ask the other party whether they would surrender before cutting off their heads, and it would not be too late to cut them if they did not surrender in a desperate battle, and he did not plan to exchange these heads with the Great Song Dynasty for military merits and rewards.

For those soldiers who surrendered, they were directly scattered and mixed into 20,000 defenders to enrich the future defense force. The disposition of these Western Xia mergers is to temporarily not issue weapons, and let them do some work to build bridges and open the way.

Of course, what these 20,000 people need to do most at this time is to put out the fire, and Yinzhou City has already become their own, how can they be allowed to burn down? If the grain and grass in the city are burned down, what will tens of thousands of people eat?

Before dawn, Bai Sheng commanded his troops to accurately lay down seventy-three walled fortresses according to the defense map of the Western Xia garrison drawn by Zhou Cheng. Between the two armies of the Song and Xia, it occupied one-tenth of the Hengshan area.

It has to be mentioned that Zhou Cheng played a great role in this battle, and under the protection of the false holy decree given by Bai Sheng, he had already brought the tea and delicacies produced in the Great Song Dynasty to the northwest, and carried out a crazy dumping in the Hengshan area.

Tea leaves have been sold at the price of cabbage, so how can the soldiers and civilians of the Western Xia not treat him as a guest? No matter where he goes, he is a very popular existence, and it is too simple to draw a map of the defense.

In addition, Tiangong is also beautiful, the whole night was full of dark clouds, but not a drop of rain fell, if it really rained, Bai Sheng's artillery troops could only be covered with oilcloth to watch the excitement.

At dawn, Yanzhou City passed through the mansion, and the seed master Dao got a report from Mizhi Village, saying that last night on the west bank of the Wuding River, God punished God, and fell a divine thunder to split Yinzhou City into flames.
