These are not chariots, but handcarts. The carts are piled with baggage. You don’t have to think about it. You can tell at a glance that the Song army filled the river. If you don’t fill the moat, you will not be able to attack the city gate and you will never be able to enter the city.
.
Gao Qingyi squinted his eyes, with a strange light flashing in his eyes, and immediately ordered to shoot these people with the crossbow once they entered the range of the crossbow.
If the Song Army only bombed with revitalizing artillery, then the Jin Army really had nothing to do, because they had lost the ability to charge, and their long-range strike capabilities were not as far away as the opponent, so they could only shoot and charge towards them.
The Song soldiers, but as far as the Song army is concerned, although there are many artillery shells, they are not free. Now that the city gate is not visible, it is natural to save some money. It is impossible to bomb there all day long. No matter how many shells there are,
It will also be wiped out by you, so Zongze still focuses on filling the river.
Their strong crossbows were actually backward versions of the bed crossbows. They were captured when they went south. They were not in large numbers and had been left unused because the Jin Army thought the weapons were too bulky and did not conform to their tactical thinking.
Their technology was not enough to imitate them. Zeng Jin also made some in Hebei area for the purpose of attacking cities, but the power was far inferior to the Song army's bed crossbow, so they gave up later.
The technology of this bed crossbow has always been unique to the Song Dynasty, and no other country can produce it. If Wanyan Zongwang had conquered Bianliang City, then they would have mastered this technology, because the top secrets are all in Bianliang City. It is a pity that he
Unable to break through, the Jin Army was forced to do nothing. They searched for long-range strike weapons everywhere in the weapons depot, and put whatever they could use into use.
Standing on the top of the city, he could see clearly that the other party was pushing a cart up, but the soldiers below were choked by the smoke and were howling like ghosts. They couldn't see clearly where the Song army was, so they could only fire with their eyes closed. I hope it can
The enemy was killed with dense arrow rain, but the Song army was well prepared and the vehicles dispersed. Although some people still fell, the Song army could fully bear this little damage. However, although the power of this crossbow was
It is not as good as the Song Army's bed crossbow, but it can still destroy some light wooden carts within two hundred steps. But it doesn't matter. Although the cart is gone, the Song Army soldiers directly carry the sacks and rush forward.
"put!"
Immediately afterwards, the second round of revitalizing cannons was fired again. Compared with the previous round, this round of firing was fiercer and much faster, and all of them were concentrated on the opponent's catapult.
Because the firing frequency of the revitalizing cannon is slow, it is generally fired in batches and cannot be fired at once. Otherwise, there will be a long blank period in between.
The heavy artillery shells flew and the Jin army dispersed immediately.
But as soon as the Jin Army soldier moved, he heard a burst of screams.
Gao Qingyi on the city wall was surprised when he heard such miserable screams. The enemy's cannonballs haven't fallen yet, so what are you screaming about? Isn't it too exaggerated? But after a closer look, I saw just now.
Almost all the soldiers in the area hit by the first round of bombing were sitting on the ground, holding their feet in their hands. The pain was worse than death.
It turns out that the shells fired in the first round were not live ammunition, but the earliest grenades in the world, which were scattered shells. They were all full of caltrops and iron flakes, and the crossbow just fired was all smoke arrows. Why did Gao Qingyi listen just now?
The screams were those soldiers who were hit in the face by iron pieces. They couldn't die for a moment, they were all painfully alive. This is the second best, the key is those iron caltrops.
This caltrop is an obstacle to prevent the enemy from charging. The four protruding iron thorns are more than three inches long. No matter how you place them, there is always one iron thorn pointing upward. The original method of use is to order people to sprinkle it.
On the enemy's path, but now that technology has become increasingly advanced, it can be directly thrown remotely. Once the shell explodes, the caltrops will scatter all over the ground.
When the second round of artillery shells came, the Jin Army was already dizzy from being bombed and choked. When they saw the Song Army's artillery shells coming again, their first reaction must be to dodge in all directions, but their eyes must be focused on
On the artillery shell, you have to look at the artillery shell to hide. For a moment, you didn't pay attention to your feet. When you step on it, it will directly pierce the sole of your foot. There are so many acupuncture points on your feet. It is really painful. Moreover, Song Jun did not
I love being clean so much that most of the thorns will be rusty. If I step on them, I will be disabled or even die.
It’s really not just about setting off the bombs, there is still a strategy, link by link, to keep it unforgettable for a lifetime.
I didn't dare to run, but if I didn't run, the shells were flying again. The war had just begun, and some soldiers who had just joined the army were even ready to surrender. Even standing here, they were beaten by the enemy, and even slapped on their ass.
This round is a real bombing. Although there are not many shells, but combined with the iron caltrops, the power is several times greater.
Fortunately, the Jin army was on alert. The catapults and crossbows were scattered and behind the fortress. Therefore, not many catapults were destroyed. Only two or three unlucky catapults were directly hit.
Reimbursed.
But it doesn't matter, this round of bombing is mainly to cover the soldiers filling the river.
This was a hard-won opportunity. The soldiers of the Song Army pushed the cart crazily and ran towards the river.
Wanyan Changdu saw this, his face was as calm as water, and he looked calmly at the other side. Seeing that the Song army was about to enter the shooting range, he immediately ordered archers to go to the shore to shoot at the enemy. However, he seemed to have forgotten that the ground was full of caltrops, so
The archers of the Jin army did not dare to stride forward, but they could not disobey the military order. They could only row with their feet close to the ground. How long did it take for you to row to the shore?
Wan Yanchang was dumbfounded when he saw this scene, but there was nothing he could do. The soldiers were all scared.
Hearing the sound of splashing, the soldiers of the Song Army lifted the chariot, and the baggage on the vehicle fell into the river, and there were quite a lot of it. These days, Zongze has been urging the soldiers to collect soil, because he knows the only way to cross the river.
Just fill in the river channel.
Zhao Kai saw this scene from a distance and saw the Jin Army soldiers running around after being bombed. He couldn't help but feel overjoyed and secretly thought, these Tatars know how to act violently immediately. Once they leave their horses, they are like tired eggs and vulnerable to a blow!
When the frontline soldiers returned, the revitalization artillery ushered in a new burst period, so they repeated their old tricks, first firing scatter bombs and smoke arrows. At the same time, the second batch of river filling teams began to attack again.
At the same time, Zongze ordered the small revitalizing cannon to advance. Although the small cannon was small in power, it could well make up for the firing interval of the cannon and help the army advance. You can't always bomb from long distances. The closer the distance, the revitalizing cannon
It can aim very well and destroy the opponent's catapult very well. However, from such a long distance, it is still difficult to accurately hit the catapult behind the fortress.
Because this small revitalizing cannon has a shorter range, it is similar to the range of a catapult, which is between 300 and 400 steps.
This time Jin Jun realized what he was doing. If you hid far away from the flying shells, you would be fine. Killing people with iron pieces was much scarier than killing people with guns and knives. You had to hide beside obstacles, so Jin Jun
As soon as you see the opponent's artillery shells flying towards you, you quickly huddle beside or behind the fortress.
Smoke rose again, and Jin Jun seemed to have been living in the smoke.
Wan Yanchang broke into a cold sweat when he looked at it, and said: "The firearms of the Song Army are really powerful, and there are so many tricks that it is hard to guard against them. Fortunately, Zong Han has left a plan for us, otherwise they will soon be defeated if they continue like this."
Fill the moat."
Gao Qingyi looked into the distance and frowned: "We can let them fill the river, but we must make it difficult for them to move forward. We cannot let the Song army easily approach the river bank. The longer we drag it, the higher our chance of winning."
Wan Yanchang saw that the Song army's artillery carts had entered the range of the catapults, so he ordered five hundred death squads to go to the river bank to shoot at the Song army who came to fill the river. He also ordered the catapults to concentrate their firepower and bombard the opponent's artillery carts.
I saw a dense rain of stones flying towards me. The stone was not very big, just about the size of a basketball, because if it were bigger, the range would be shortened. However, although this stone was not big, under the action of gravity acceleration, its power was not small.
, although the accuracy is not enough, it is important to be dense enough. The iron wagons of the Song Army cannot escape under such dense showers, so they do not dare to advance rashly and fire artillery fire on the spot to counterattack.
But it is still beneficial to the Song Army. The small revitalizing cannon only needs three people to control it, but the enemy's catapult requires dozens of people, and the Song Army's artillery shells are far more powerful than the Jin Army's stone bullets, so once
It hit near the catapult, and the driver of the catapult also suffered heavy losses.
The two sides were fighting with each other, and although the momentum was huge, it was far less fierce than the previous battle, because both sides used long-range weapons, which was not as brutal as naked hand-to-hand combat.
Zongze saw that there were many trebuchets on the other side, so he ordered to cover the enemy's position with dense crossbows to cover his own artillery carts. This crossbow had five arrows per crossbow, and its range was longer than that of the revitalizing cannon, so it was quite powerful.
, the Song army fired hundreds of crossbows, and the thunderous attack forced the Jin army to huddle behind the fortress and use catapults to fire stone projectiles crazily, hindering the advance of the Song army.
Although the Fangzi Crossbow and the Revitalizing Cannon have been suppressing the opponent's firepower, the thick and short fortress still allowed the Jin Army to fight back. This resulted in the Song Army's advancement being delayed, long-distance river filling, and the efficiency was not ideal.
Zongze put down his clairvoyance and sighed: "If we take out the revitalizing cannon now, we might be able to defeat the defenders of this moat in one fell swoop."
It was precisely because they had used it before that the Jin army was on guard. The fortress was reinforced and reinforced, and its thickness was more than four or five times the original. It was difficult for the revitalizing cannon to destroy their fortress in an instant. The key was that their catapults were all
They are scattered and arranged in different directions, and are protected by fortresses in front, so it is difficult for you to hit the opponent's catapults instantly like last time. Just imagine what the scene would be like if the Jin army did not prepare for the revitalizing cannon in advance.
, the fortress that used to be a combination of wood and stone was demolished in one round.
But at that time, there was no way out. In short, every step was miscalculated and every step was difficult!
