Hui Hui Pao had a short and dazzling light in the official history.

Perhaps the most important moment was when the Mongolian army used it to capture Xiangyang City, which had held out for 6 years.

It is said that the Huihui Cannon can throw a boulder weighing more than 100 kilograms 400 meters away.

At that time, the width of Xiangyang City's moat was 150 meters.

400 meters far exceeds the distance of the Xiangyang City moat.

The Huihui artillery continued to attack, and Xiangyang City was directly destroyed from the city wall.

Soon Xiangyang surrendered, and the Southern Song Dynasty entered a countdown to its demise.

It can be said that it was the pinnacle of sieges in the cold weapon era before the emergence of real artillery.

But it is clear that the Zhao family, who are rich and rough in dealing with affairs, are more willing to spend money than the Mongols.

Yang Zheng's Huihui Pao has the word "fire" next to it.

The logistics soldiers of the Song Army began to carry the assembly materials of the giant trebuchet.

Those wooden frames require several people to carry them.

Even the live hook is extremely heavy.

The soldiers carried the goods while shouting the same slogans to keep their movements consistent.

After being transported to the designated location, the soldiers of the artillery battalion began to assemble it.

This is a giant trebuchet. It is more difficult to assemble than before. Fortunately, they are professional enough.

With the cooperation of all parties, ten giant trebuchets were equipped.

By the afternoon, huge rocks were also moved.

Then, the soldiers began to pour oil on the rocks.

Black, viscous oil was poured all over the stone, emitting a pungent and unpleasant smell.

At this time, the defenders of Lanzhou City still didn't know what they were going to face.

When the oil on the stone was ignited, it burst into flames, burning the air.

"emission!"

As the artillery battalion officer drew his sword and waved it, with an order, the giant trebuchet instantly erupted with a dull sound.

Ten huge stones rose from the ground, dragging long flames, and were thrown towards the Lanzhou City in front while the Lanzhou City guards were stunned.

boom……

With a crisp sound, two burning boulders hit the tower, breaking its pillars.

Sawdust flew everywhere and the structure collapsed.

A few guards below had no time to run and were hit by falling wood.

Another two hit the city head, and one smashed the battlements, splashing a large amount of rubble. At the same time, it collapsed quickly and hit a guard head-on.

The poor guard was smashed on the spot and flew down the city along with the rocks. Half of his body was shattered, and the minced meat and internal organs were scattered all over the city.

The stone was hit on the battlements, and its power became less powerful. It rolled on the ground, and so did the other stone.

The remaining ones all crashed into the city.

Boom boom boom...

There was a loud noise, deafening.

In the "History of the Yuan Dynasty", it is recorded that the Huihui cannon was fired like this: The machine fired, the sound shook the heaven and the earth, it destroyed everything it hit, and it penetrated seven feet into the ground.

Seven feet is equivalent to more than two meters.

In other words, a large pit two meters deep was directly created!

No wonder the impregnable Xiangyang City collapsed under its attack.

These burning stone cannons were seen hitting the houses in the city and tearing them apart.

Either hit it on the ground inside the city, crack the ground, and plow out long, terrifying scars.

Then he rolled on the ground, the flames still burning.

The people around him looked horrified, their livers and gallbladders were split with fear, as if they were facing doom, and no one dared to approach.

No one had ever seen such a powerful trebuchet.

There has been a small-scale chaos behind the tower. The guards on the tower all looked pale and their legs were weak.

However, the Song army began a second wave of attacks.

Several people lifted the rocks, poured black oil on them, and lit them again.

Ten burning fireballs once again drew a bright trick, and in the fearful eyes of the Lanzhou City guards, they pressed forward for the second time.

Bang bang bang...

This time, five of them hit the city wall.

The city wall of Xiangyang City was made of bricks, and it was even broken down.

The city wall of Lanzhou City was just made of rammed earth. The people on the tower suddenly felt their feet shake, many cracks appeared on the wall, and a large piece of the rammed earth collapsed.

It fell with a clatter, raising a cloud of dust on the ground.

I saw several large pits at the top of the city. Soldiers even fell from there, fell into the city, and died on the spot.

The rest of the people were completely confused.

The flames left a large black scorch mark on the wall, as if an angry dragon had sprayed it with flames.

And at that moment, the city tower seemed to be shaking.

Just think about it, what would you feel if you were standing upstairs and suddenly the building beneath your feet was shaking?

Now these guards feel like they have no master.

Not to mention that several more bullets smashed into the city again, sweeping away everything in the city.

Some unlucky people were hit, and their human form disappeared on the spot. Their rotten flesh was crushed to the ground by the burning fireball, giving off a burning smell.

These two waves of attacks directly raised the power of the Song Army.

The artillery battalion officer continued to direct the soldiers to put the stones up.

At this time, the guards above were so frightened that they fled, and those who didn't fled were too frightened to know what to do.

Yang Zheng was in a good mood when he saw this!

He laughed and said: "What a thief! It's so cool! I smashed the city head to pieces!"

When the third group of boulders fell, the city wall collapsed on a larger scale.

Although the city wall has not completely collapsed, it means that the psychological defenses of all the guards have collapsed.

"What!" When Zhewu heard the news brought by the messenger, he jumped up, "You said our city wall was smashed and trampled!"

"Yes!" The messenger looked horrified, "General...General, the trebuchet of the Song Army...the trebuchet is as powerful as thunder..."

"Quick! Send the order quickly! The main force is gathering at the south gate, and the archers are ready!" Zhewu immediately began to criticize the armor.

Liu Chun said: "General, the Song army's weapons are amazing. We should withdraw immediately and return to Fugu to inform Commander Zhe!"

"Our army has an obvious advantage in the city!" Zhewu refused to listen. He put on his armor and rushed out with his personal guards.

When Zhewu rushed out, the Song army had stopped using giant trebuchets, and instead used crossbows to clear out a wave of remaining defeated soldiers at the top of the city.

Then they began to prepare ladders and launch a large-scale siege.

There were no guards at the top of the city, and the Song army easily captured the city.

Soon, they used crossbows to reach the top of the city and began to fight back against the Zhejia army below.

More Song troops quickly climbed to the top of the city, and the two sides started fighting at the city wall.

At the same time, the Song army who occupied the city head pulled the gate and opened the city gate.

When Yang Zheng saw that the city gate was open, he immediately mobilized a battalion of infantrymen as the vanguard and charged towards the city gate.

The number of the Song army is increasing, and subsequent supplies for the Zhejia army are also arriving quickly.

Zhewu never thought that the war would be accelerated so quickly.

Not only did he not think of it, Zhe Keqiu would not think of it, the Kingdom of Jin would not think of it, and the leader of Xixia Kingdom would not think of it either.
