Chapter 908
Pucha Shi's slave's face looked ugly.
What he expected was that heavy artillery would quickly knock down the walls of Dongsheng City, and the Jin army in Dongzi and Goche would attack the city seamlessly.
But now things have changed.
He looked at the top of the city. From this distance, he could barely see the Tiger Crouching Cannon at the top of the city, but he could clearly see the impact of the power erupting there on the front army.
"Got it! Keep fighting!"
"yes!"
After the Song Army's artillery attack, the Jin Army began its third attack.
Unlike the Song Army's artillery that hit the Jin Army's heavy artillery, the Jin Army's heavy artillery hit the huge fixed target of the city wall, and its accuracy was much higher.
As long as the counterweight stone remains unchanged, the weight of the cannon stone remains unchanged, and other factors are fixed, the deviation will basically be very small.
Boom boom boom...
Three huge stones were smashed over. The area where they were hit became loose and a large number of cracks appeared. The soil above began to fall down, and the people on the city wall clearly felt the trembling under their feet.
The broken clods of earth began to slide down, falling together with the stones, and some cracks appeared on the ground of the city wall.
The Song army adjusted their firearms and attacked the Jin army again.
But this time, no heavy artillery was hit.
In exchange, the Jin Army's fourth heavy artillery hit that area, and the fourth city wall collapsed.
Fortunately, Guo Hao had already evacuated the crowd in that area.
The wall of Dongsheng City was originally no more than three meters high, but the Song army increased it by one meter, making it four meters high.
The place where it collapsed collapsed by more than two meters, leaving only about one meter high.
At this distance, an agile person can easily climb up.
"Marshal Zuo! A piece of the city wall collapsed!"
"The forward battalion attacks!"
The messenger soldiers of the Jin Army flew away carrying the chess pieces, and the noisy Jin Army slowly calmed down.
The sound of trumpets and the sound of war drums resounded from heaven to earth.
The Jin Army's forwards began to move out.
The Goose Cart and Dongzi, which had originally stopped, also started to move forward.
As for the burning goose carts, the soldiers inside rushed out, roaring, like wild beasts running wild, and rushed towards the gap quickly.
The Song Army crossbowmen began to shoot at the Jin Army below with crossbow arrows.
"Take the little official down."
Li Qing dragged Lu You down and ran down: "If you, the junior official, stay here any longer, you will cause trouble for others!"
"I know, please be gentle, my arm is going to be broken."
"If there is something wrong with a junior official, I won't be able to explain it to the master!"
"I know, I know."
At this time, the Song army in the city was on alert, and the city wall collapsed. Everyone knew that a hand-to-hand battle was about to begin!
A large number of goose carts came out of the Jin Army's camp, and more holes followed, spreading out outside the city. It looked like countless beasts were coming.
Behind those caves and goose carts, there were also Jin troops wearing iron armor.
The eight oxen crossbows at the top of the city fired arrows tirelessly, knocking down those armored Jin soldiers every time they landed.
"Hurry and kill on the city!"
"Whoever goes up first will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!"
"Come on! Kill Song Dog!"
"..."
They held axes, maces, and iron bones, and shouted at the top of their lungs.
At this moment, everyone's brains went blank, and all they could do was rush forward and rush to kill.
Boom boom boom...
A huge noise sounded at the top of the city.
The artillery of the Song Army was still roaring.
Each shot could knock off five or six people, tearing a hole in the dense crowd, and the one who was hit first was torn to pieces.
But this still could not stop the Jin army's attack.
Because there were too many Jin soldiers, Pucha Shi's slaves directly used 20,000 people for their vanguard.
Twenty thousand people came one after another and spread out in front of the city. There was a sea of people, as if there was no end in sight.
"Quick! Get the musket!"
Soldiers walked up one by one with muskets in hand, and lined up with the crossbowmen.
This is still a very primitive firecracker, equivalent to a smaller version of the Crouching Tiger Cannon.
It is also made of copper, with iron sand inside.
This thing is not difficult to make, but Yu Yunwen's Ministry of Culture and Literature did not have time to replenish more, so there were only a few hundred.
When the Jin army rushed towards the gap quickly, the musketeers lit the muskets, and the iron sand spurted out, impacting on the armor of the Jin army, making a sharp sound.
The Jin army was forced back by the impact.
The unlucky one was struck in the face by a firecracker, his eyeballs exploded on the spot, his face was covered in blood and flesh, and he screamed in agony.
But the Jin army did not back down, and those behind continued to climb up.
The goose carts and the cave were also approaching quickly, and the rockets could no longer stop the densely packed goose carts.
When they approached the city wall, they released a ladder and set it up at the top of the city. The Jin army inside quickly climbed up.
The crowd is getting bigger and bigger, and the city is already crowded with people. As long as there is a place to climb, someone will immediately stretch out their hands to climb.
When the first batch of Jin soldiers just climbed up, the fire oil tank came, blazing flames spurted out, and the Jin soldiers fell down like ants clinging to the wall.
The thunderbolts were also thrown down like dumplings, exploding into flowers everywhere.
Among the crowds of the Jin army, there was also Wang Gu's army. Alahushu didn't actually send people to go up, but because he had just surrendered and couldn't figure out the way, he sent a group of old, weak, sick and disabled to die.
These people are basically here to make up the numbers.
The two sides started a fierce fight at the top of the city.
Countless Jin troops rushed in through the gap, were killed, rushed in again, were killed again, and continued to rush in.
Countless people have climbed up to the top of the city from the ladders.
They carried axes and hammers and struck each other's bodies, breaking bones, shattering internal organs, and breaking heads.
One Song army fell down one after another, and the Song army advanced one after another.
Group after group of Jin troops were killed and retreated.
Countless corpses were piled up below the city head.
The two sides started such a fierce battle in such a small town.
"Report! Marshal Zuo, the first, second, third and fourth battalions of our front army have been defeated!"
"Report! Marshal Zuo, the left wing has collapsed! The Song Army has too many fire-breathing weapons!"
Pucha Shi's slave was so angry that he jumped up and down. The various new weapons of the Song Army were emerging one after another. It was such a fucking surprise!
Mobilizing 20,000 people, there was no way to capture such a small city!
And it’s also equipped with heavy artillery!
This is an absolute disgrace!
In the evening, the Jin army finally called for gold and retreated.
Twenty thousand people rushed over like an overwhelming force, but they still couldn't be captured.
It's getting dark soon, and there will definitely be no way to fight after dark.
The Jin army retreated like a tide.
The cavalry on both wings were ready. As soon as the Song army left the city to pursue, the cavalry would rush forward quickly.
Of course, neither Yu Yunwen nor Guo Hao wanted to pursue them.
"You are a thief. Didn't Commander Wu say that if Yunzhou is taken down, the Jin army will definitely retreat? Why is this Pucha Shi family slave still here risking his life with me!"
"It should be almost time!"
Yu Yunwen wiped the blood from his face. He, a scholar, was really not suitable to fight in person. In fact, he didn't fight a few times, but the war was really cruel.
After dark, Pucha Shi's slave was in the camp listening to the heavy artillery battalion's report on today's situation.
After listening, Liu E said: "When I was in Yanjing, I heard King Wei mention it once. When Liaodong Wanyanba Lisu was attacking the capital city last year, he said that he encountered a very strange weapon with great power. It was very big, and the hard-line army collapsed under the impact, very similar to what we encountered today!"
Liu E looked solemn and continued: "King Wei thought that Wanyan Balisu was making excuses for his defeat. There is no such weapon in the world. Now it seems that it is true!"
"The city wall was not destroyed by us!"
"No, no, today the Song Army has limited weapons. If the number were larger, I'm afraid our army would suffer a big loss!" Liu E said, "Besides, if the Song Army does not have those weapons, our five heavy artillery can open up the city wall again." If the bombardment is bigger, the Song army may not be able to defend it."
