"All guns, one test shot, fire!"

Ma Yong, the artillery director of the Linhuang Army, stood behind the 88 cannons placed in a concentrated manner, waving a red flag while shouting loudly.

The group of cannons composed of 88 cannons shook violently at the same time. The flames first spit out, followed by the sound of thunderous cannons, and smoke filled the smoke. The shells with black dots rolled toward the distant city wall at a speed that could be kept in front of the naked eye. In a blink of an eye, smoke pillars and earth and stones rose from all over the city walls south of Linhuang Mansion!

When the cannon sounded, Wanyan Xi, who was supervising the battle in the southeast corner of Linhuangfu City, shook his whole body.

Because he has found something wrong!

The Zhou army's cannons were so powerful that they were shaking when they fought. They were more than ten times more powerful than the 250-pound cannons sent by Datong Mansion!

Wanyan Xiyin bought the fake and inferior cannon from Song State, shouldn't this guy take the kickbacks from Ji Yi, the traitor of the Song Dynasty?

"Boom boom boom..."

When Wanyan Xi also felt something was wrong, another round of volleys from the Zhou army's artillery team came? The shells swept across the city walls of Linhuang Mansion like a storm. The sand, soil and stones at the top of the city fell down. In a flash, dust and smoke enveloped the entire front line. At first, you could see panicked Jurchen soldiers running around to avoid the shells, and then they were overturned by something unknown (the airflow brought by the shells flying over the city) and fell down the city wall...

The Zhou army's artillery was still roaring, as if there was no stop. According to the plan formulated by Wu Yiyong and Ma Yong, the artillery would continue until a large gap appeared in the city wall of Linhuang Mansion.

For the sake of today's shelling, the Linhuang Legion has prepared as many as 12,000 solid shells, which is enough to bear the tofu and shoddy city walls of Linhuang Mansion.

For the Jin defenders everywhere in the southern wall of Linhuang Prefecture, it was a long and shattered artillery bombardment, which was not so easy to resist!

He waved his hand suddenly: "Bat back! Let our cannons open fire!"

The Jurchener who were guarding him, who were in charge of the command, immediately rushed to a nearby triangle to leave the fort and went to Linhuangfu City. There was a circle of forts around the city wall, but not each was connected to the city wall. Only the forts extending from the four corners of the city wall were connected to the city wall. Among them, the two 6-two cannons arranged on the forts extended to the southeast corner of the city wall were used as number guns.

With one shot, all the six or two guns deployed on the fort in the south of the city will fire at the same time.

As for whether it can hit the target... I don't care. The artillery under my slant is not even half a bastard. I don't know anything about range measurement, aiming, and ballistics. It would be great if I could barely stuff the shells and gunpowder into the barrel and then fire it out.

Moreover, the diagonal did not expect that those "fake guns" that were not much thicker than chopsticks could hit anything. The purpose of letting them fire was to give their own courage. We also had guns and could fight back!

"It's true that the fire started!"

Wu Yiyong had noticed that the "little cannon" on the Jin army's triangular outcast was firing, and couldn't help laughing, "It's so far, I really don't know what to fight?"

When Wang Yan heard his words, he shouted: "Let them fight, and it will be almost half of it if they hit the cannon after six hours!"

Fire a gun is a complicated task, and the seven gunners must perform their duties and cooperate in accordance with the prescribed steps. In addition, you must be careful during the operation of the gun to prevent accidents such as overheating of the barrel, explosion of the barrel or explosion of gunpowder.

Without well-trained artillery, cannons may be more dangerous to their own people than to the enemy.

Sure enough, the Jin soldiers' artillery bombed less than half an hour before the accident occurred. A 6-two cannon exploded due to overheating of the barrel!

The Jurchen artillery, who had been a little dizzy after being rumbling on the rumbling shells, completely forgot to cool down the barrel, just stuffed shells and gunpowder into the barrel chamber, and then fired them.

As a result, gunpowder and shells were pressed into the overheated gun chamber together, and they exploded directly in the chamber. The gun barrel was immediately exploded and the fragments flew around, breaking the head of a Jurchen man as strong as an iron tower on the spot! The arms and shoulders of several Jurchen artillery soldiers were even slightly broken!

Pink brains and bright red blood were splashing everywhere, and the bloody smell immediately overshadowed the smoke! The screams even exceeded the roar of the cannon! The entire triangle came out of the fort, as if it had become a vixen hell!

This is not the first accident. Before that, two 6-two guns were in trouble.

The loading rod of one of the 6-two cannons was fired and the loading rod was left in the barrel. Somehow the loading rod was left in the barrel! Then the Jurchen artillery soldiers who were working on this cannon went to find a carbine, took off the gun head and used it as a loading rod. However, the carbine was made very rough, and the barrel was thick and not straight. After being stuffed into the barrel, it was stuck there. A group of artillery soldiers worked hard for a long time but couldn't take it out!

Another door was in panic and stuffed an iron sand bullet wrapped in deer skin into the gunboat as a gunpowder bag, and then filled a 6-tall solid bullet. As a result, the gunboat was blocked and the solid bullet and iron sand bullet inside could not be taken out for a while, making the cannon unable to fire again.

So the Zhou army's cannons were not in power, and there were three small cannons on the Jurchen side who were "dumb" themselves, which was really disgusting.

The artillerymen of the Zhou army fired in an orderly manner, and 88 cannons were slowly carrying out rounds of volleys.

The wall of Linhuangfu City, which was not originally strong, was covered with holes and bullet marks. There were gaps in many places, and the rammed earth was broken and loose, falling downwards, burying the tigers under the city wall.

The city walls of Linhuang Mansion may not last long!

...

At the same time, Empress Dowager Xiao's army also launched an attack on the positions of Aguda's troops!

Forty thousand Liao troops actually took the initiative to attack 140,000 Jin soldiers!

I have to say that Xiao Sesse is a little too brave.

However, Xiao Sesse is indeed bold, because from the scenes on the battlefield at this moment, the Liao army, which is less than one-third of the enemy, has really gained the upper hand!

On the battlefield, the Eastern Liao Army still used the Tuocheng tactics, set up a rectangular Tuocheng, and set up a circle of horse-resisting horses outside the Tuocheng. On the side facing the Jin army formation, a gap was left on both sides of the front of Tuocheng, each with 28 4-jin cavalry cannons lined up, and towards the center of the Jin army formation four hundred steps away, there were endless volleys of artillery fire.

In a volley, 28 iron lumps roared and landed in the pile of Jin soldiers. Sometimes the shells would jump up and continue to roll and sweep forward for a while. All the Jin soldiers blocked the planes' flight route were all in trouble and were knocked down by rows.

The Jin soldiers' artillery was also fighting back desperately! Their artillery was small, but there were quite a lot of them, with more than 200. However, they did not concentrate their firepower, but were evenly scattered in front of the battle formation. Therefore, they could not form dense and fierce firepower.

Moreover, the quality of the Jin army artillery was not good. Although they all had martial arts, if they had a hand-to-hand combat, three or five Zhou artillery soldiers would not be close to each other. However, firing artillery is not a traditional martial art! This group of people is stupid and lacks training, and no one can teach them how to shoot artillery well. Wanyan Xiyin only thought of buying artillery lots of cannons and gunpowder, and never thought of hiring a military consultant from the Song Dynasty to teach.

So these Jin gunners can at most shoot artillery and cannot reach the level of excellent artillery soldiers.

It's okay to deal with the proofreading. If you really go to the battlefield, you can operate the cannon under the interference of gunpowder everywhere and the constant drop of enemy artillery shells. Then it will be a mess! The consequence of the artillery chaos is that there are constant accidents, either the gunpowder truck was lit or the artillery was blown up. The Liao people didn't kill many of them, and many of them were injured.

The chaos on the front line was soon reported to Aguda, who was in charge of the camp. The founding lord of the Dajin Kingdom now dared not come to the front line to command it. If he was shot, he would be uglier.

"I am so ruthless, let the men rush forward!"

"Du Bo Ji Lie, let me take someone to rush! Keep the custody and get the head of Empress Xiao for you!"

"If you can't rush to the front, you'd better detour from both wings. Liaogou's cannons are on the front, so we can't rush."

The Jurchen generals also asked for advice in a verbal manner. Like Aguda, they were very uncomfortable with the war mode that entered the era of hot weapons with one foot.

Their best-in-class cavalry attacking, cavalry shooting, and hard army fighting are not out of date now, but they must be protected by artillery to exert power.

Without enough firepower, the dense stair formation and cavalry formation cannot be deployed!

Just as Aguda was hesitating whether to send troops to detour, the front line changed again.

"Reported that the Liao people have set up gun array and camel team, and are in front of the array. It seems they are going to attack!"

"What?" Aguda suddenly stood up and walked out of the tent. The Jurchen generals in the tent also quickly got up and followed them, and rushed out together.

Agu made a tent and strode towards the central army's watchtower. More than a dozen personal guards rushed up and supported Agu on his hands and feet. Someone also brought him a fur cloak. The wind was strong on the grassland. Aguda was old and weak, so don't be frozen.

The space on the watchtower is limited, so there are not many people standing there, only Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Zonggan go up together.

Standing on the platform and looking away, I could only see a cloud of smoke on the battlefield ahead, as if there was thick fog.

It was faintly visible that there were already three rectangular battle formations in front of the Liao army's Cam City.

The large battle formation is composed of dense spearmen. The sunlight shone on the tip of the guns through the smoke, reflecting a cold light that makes people's backs chill. The two small battle formations are composed of hundreds of camel soldiers. Behind the side of the battle formation, a pattern of font shape is formed. From a distance, it looks amazing.
