The Eight Ox Crossbow made a crunching sound.

The bowstring suddenly trembled, and ten eight-oxen crossbows let out angry roars one after another. Hundreds of arrows poured out, like dense iron rain, falling towards the Jin army's formation three hundred meters away.

The Jin Army infantry immediately dived down, and arrows hit their armor, making countless sharp collisions.

There were also many arrows planted on the ground.

At the same time, the archers at the top of the city pulled their bowstrings and continued to shoot rockets at the goose carts.

All eighteen goose cars burned.

Lu You saw the artillerymen manipulating the barrel of the gun skillfully. They wrapped cotton cloth around the head of the wooden stick, wetted it in a bucket, and then inserted it into the barrel to quickly cool the barrel.

Finally, wipe the inside with a dry cotton cloth.

Lu You calculated that this action would take about twenty seconds.

Once completed, the soldiers would fill the gunpowder.

After the gunpowder is filled, the cannonball is put into the muzzle.

The whole process took fifty seconds, close to a minute.

Of course, the operation of a heavy trebuchet cannot be that fast. It takes time to reorganize the parabolic rope and adjust the counterweight. It can be said that it takes longer than a bronze artillery.

Before the Jin Army launched its second heavy artillery attack, the Song Army's artillery had already struck preemptively.

With dozens of roars in a row, iron cannons rained down, attacking the Jin army intensively.

However, the accuracy of the artillery of this era is really a bit unstable. It basically fires in a general direction. It is not known whether it is deflected or not.

After all, artillery comes out too fast, and to truly make artillery accurate, you need professional mathematical talents to use some more precise mathematical formulas.

Fortunately, thirty-nine artillery pieces bombarded intensively.

I saw the iron cannons striking indiscriminately in the direction of the Jin Army, passing between the Jin Army's heavy artillery.

More than a dozen of them hit the ground, tearing out shallow marks on the ground.

Thirteen or four more bombs hit the Jin Army's forward formation, flying off piece after piece. Blood and pieces of meat were scattered on the faces and armor of the surrounding Jin Army, making them pale with fear.

At this time, more than a dozen people in the Jin army were killed and more than thirty were injured.

However, the Jin army had strict military discipline and there was no disorder in their formation.

However, three of them hit the leftmost heavy cannon, and one hit the base, which had little impact.

But two of them hit the wooden frame, causing the wooden frame to break due to the impact, causing the heavy cannon to tilt.

The Jin Army artillerymen nearby were so frightened that they quickly retreated.

Although the other heavy artillery was not hit, an unlucky Jin soldier was shot in the head, his head was smashed, and red and white splattered all over the floor.

The iron cannon of the Tiger Crouching Cannon is about the same size as an adult's fist. An iron cannon of this size can hit the opponent's heavy artillery frame or hit scattered people at a distance of two hundred meters. It is already a piece of shit.

transport.

It is purely a matter of probability for the thirty-nine artillery pieces. Otherwise, it would be almost impossible to hit the target so quickly with a few squatting tiger cannons at the top of the city.

However, even if the accuracy is very low, people will be scared when they see such an impact!

Just think about it, you are standing in the open space, looking up, and dozens of iron balls are flying towards you, how do you feel?

Some Jinjun covered their heads with their hands, while others lay down.

Some were not afraid, but when the iron cannon swept past them, they were so frightened that they could no longer stand, and hurriedly hid behind the wooden frame of the heavy cannon.

After being frightened, everyone looked towards the top of the city and found that it was gone. The officer of the Jin Army immediately shouted loudly: "Quickly fill the stone cannon!"

The wooden frame of the heavy cannon on the far left was broken by the impact, and its body tilted, obviously unable to be used.

The other four moved.

The Jin army quickly filled the stone cannons and launched another heavy artillery strike. Only four large stones came at once, and they all hit the city wall.

Bang bang bang...

The people on the city wall felt their feet shaking violently several times.

Four large craters were smashed into the city wall, and four stones fell at the corners of the city.

In official history, the brick-walled Xiangyang City was smashed and collapsed, let alone Dongsheng City, which was built with earth.

In those four large pits, broken soil continued to fall down.

The city wall is only three meters thick, and the thickest part is four meters.

And how does "Yuan Shi" record Hui Hui Pao?

A cannon was placed at the southeastern corner of the city. It weighed one hundred and fifty kilograms. When fired, the sound shook the sky and the earth. It destroyed everything it hit and sunk seven feet into the ground.

Seven feet is equivalent to more than two meters.

Just smash half of the thickness out.

No wonder the brick city walls in Xiangyang collapsed under the constant bombardment.

Guo Hao shouted: "No! Everyone exit that area! Quick!"

Guo Hao followed Wu Jie and used this type of heavy artillery for the first time. He knew very well what the impact of heavy artillery on an earth-rammed city wall looked like.

Basically, that area can only withstand two more blows at most, and it will inevitably collapse.

"Quick! Get out of here! Quick!" Guo Hao ran over personally and moved the defenders aside.

The crowd held back the Eight Oxen Crossbow, shouldered the bronze cannon and retreated.

"Get out of the way! Quick!"

"Don't stop, artilleryman, keep aiming at the enemy!" Guo Hao roared at the top of his lungs, "Knock out all the gold thieves' heavy artillery!"

"yes!"

Both sides again began to fill their respective shells and shells.

"All artillery, all concentrated on the opponent's heavy artillery, all concentrated on the other side! All concentrated on the opponent's heavy artillery!"

Guo Hao walked quickly and shouted loudly.

However, the enemy's killing cry is too loud, so we still need to rely on messengers.

This time, the Song army began to adjust the direction of the muzzle.

The entrance to the battlements was too small, so they used axes to cut open the battlements and tilted the muzzles of the artillery towards the direction of the Jin army's heavy artillery.

"quick!"

"quick!"

Some people simply flattened the battlements and swung the Crouching Tiger Cannon over them.

"Quickly refill the gunpowder!"

The soldiers put the artillery in skillfully.

The iron cannon enters the barrel and rubs against the barrel, making a metallic sound.

The shouts of killing from the Jin army below became louder and louder, like the rising and falling ocean.

"Straight bitches! Blast those gold thieves to death!" someone scolded.

"Gold Thief! Have a taste of your grandpa's cannon!"

Boom boom boom...

There were several loud explosions again, and in a cloud of blue smoke, tongues of flame spewed out from the muzzle. Iron cannons spurted out from the tongues of flame, and rushed towards the Jin's heavy artillery one after another.

The Jin army who was loading artillery shells was so frightened that they quickly hid behind the heavy artillery.

The iron cannon swept across and hit the ground, kicking up large swaths of soil.

The Jin army thought it was over. As soon as a Jin army walked out, an iron cannon flew towards him. He was instantly shot away and rolled several times on the ground.

The man was twisted and deformed, the armor on his chest was shattered, his chest was penetrated, and his internal organs were scorched by the high-heat iron cannon.

The iron cannon from behind flew quickly.

"Report! Marshal Zuo, what's bad, two of our heavy artillery were damaged by the opponent!"

ps: I have seen rumors from some readers that it is unreasonable for the barbarians of the Jin army to use the returning artillery. It is impossible for the technology to be thrown over so quickly. Let me reiterate again, the military technology of the Liao Kingdom is already very developed, half of them are Han people, and the Jin Kingdom inherited the Liao Dynasty.

It has all the scientific and technological heritage of the country, and the iron smelting technology is more developed than that of the Song Dynasty, and the Jin people attach great importance to craftsmen, and the quality of the golden armor is much higher than that of the Song Dynasty. In the first year of Jingkang, the Song people could not make the golden armor at all.

In addition, in the first year of Jingkang, many military craftsmen were kidnapped from the three towns, and the production capacity was greatly increased.

Why can't it be made? Because it is not taken seriously! But it also shows that the technology of the Jin Kingdom is different from that of the Huns and Turks!
