Since the mass production of conscienceless guns, the most investment has been in the Japanese battlefield, because conscienceless guns require a very good environment and are best used for ambush. As long as they are attacked, the enemy will be almost the same. The Japanese army is all infantry.
It is more concentrated and more delicious when fried.
But it is a bit too unreliable to use in field battles. The range is short, between one hundred and two hundred steps, and the rate of fire is slow. In the wide plains, the cavalry can easily hide by hiding, and it also needs to dig.
Dong and Yanyun areas have also invested in unscrupulous artillery, but they have not been used on a large scale. The Song Army officers and soldiers prefer to use bed crossbows to attack fortresses, because they have a long range and are easy to operate. Moreover, bed crossbows also carry gunpowder and are very powerful.
The safety factor is still high. After all, the heartless cannon is within the range of the enemy's bow and arrow.
This can be said to be the first time in history that unscrupulous cannons were used on such a large scale. This was entirely because the Jin army's fortress gave the Song army too much headache, so they used unscrupulous cannons to break the formation.
Gao Qingyi, Wan Yanchang and other soldiers have never seen this heartless cannon. The flames look scary, but they are only about ten feet tall and cannot attack us.
Wow! So many sandbags!
Are they planning to use this to fill the river?
This thought flashed through the minds of Gao Qingyi and others.
I have to say that this is a way. The question is how much gunpowder is needed to fill the moat. The Song army is not so wealthy.
Huh? It doesn’t look like it! All these sandbags flew to our position.
The soldiers holding the position have been battered by artillery these days. The artillery shells are so fast and fierce that they are scary to look at. Therefore, the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom who are used to those artillery shells are not very afraid when facing the slowly flying sandbags.
In fact, this heartless cannon is a launcher. The sandbag does not fly very fast and crawls slowly across a parabola.
The Jin soldiers dodged very calmly, and they also expected that this thing might explode, so they all hid behind the fortress.
but.
Boom boom boom boom boom!
The moment these "sandbags" fell, the explosions could no longer be described as deafening or thunderous. Gao Qingyi on the city wall felt as if the mountains were collapsing and the ground was cracking. He almost fell off the city wall, only to see the Jin Army.
A row of positions on the front line, mushroom clouds rise from the ground, straight into the sky, instantly forming a wall of smoke. Of course, this is a bit exaggerated, but at least you can't see the other side standing on the city wall. The smoke is so thick that you can't see the other side.
These days, that's pretty spectacular.
There were no screams because you couldn't hear them.
Standing far away, Zhao Kai felt a buzzing sound in his ears. In fact, let alone the Jin Army, it was the first time for the officers and soldiers of the Song Army to see such a large-scale launch of unscrupulous artillery.
Either you stop this heartless cannon from firing in advance, and once it fires successfully, you will only be surprised.
Zongze didn't care what state the enemy was in. He mobilized his entire army and pushed the front to the river bank.
When Gao Qingyi heard the sound of killing on the opposite side, he quickly blew the horn and asked the soldiers on the front line to attack the enemy, but there was no movement. It was deathly quiet below the city, but you couldn't see clearly what was going on below.
Wan Yanchang covered his head and squatted on the ground. He was not afraid of thousands of troops, but this time he almost peed his pants. After a while, he shook his head and rubbed his hands.
Shuang Er came back to his senses and stood up, but seeing such a scene again, he was completely panicked and didn't know what to do.
After a while, the smoke gradually dissipated, and you could faintly see that the position was full of corpses, lying upside down in various directions. There were only a few that were directly blown to pieces, and most of them were bleeding from the seven holes. These people were obviously shocked to death, and they were still alive.
Some were shot to death by small stones blown away by the explosive force. What is even more surprising is that many others died from bows and arrows. It is understandable if you think about it carefully, because the soldiers all carried arrows.
, under the action of the explosive force, the arrows rush randomly, and it is very likely to kill one of your own people, so there are not a few people who are killed by arrows.
Yes, the power of this black gunpowder is far from that of the yellow gunpowder of later generations, but this is a bag made of high purity at the current industrial level, and it is extremely compressed and sealed. The explosive power is extremely considerable. Of course, it is not that
It razed everything to the ground, but the Jin army was completely unprepared. They didn't know how powerful this thing was. They didn't consider this when they were avoiding it, and they all got hit.
Especially near the catapult, there were all corpses, which was really horrific to see.
As for the row of thick fortresses, a very strange phenomenon occurred, that is, the reinforced soil first cracked with cracks, and then began to slowly fall off, and the speed became faster and faster, without exception.
It would be a bit reluctant for you to use these black powder to blow up the thick city walls, but these fortresses are reinforced with soil. If you want to blow them up directly, you have to bury them under the fortress and throw your bag on top.
It is difficult to blow up, but it is impossible. The problem is that the soil will collapse under great vibration. This is common sense in physics. In fact, Li Qi wants to use the explosive power of the heartless cannon to collapse the outside.
The soil was covered with dirt, and within a short time, all those forts had exposed their bare stone walls, which were only used to protect themselves from arrows, and there were also various cracks on the stone walls.
All in all, under this round of fierce bombing, the Jin Army's position was completely wiped out, and in a moment, the death toll exceeded 2,000.
The key is that the Jin army was completely unprepared for this.
Since the Jin army had been completely wiped out, there was no need to fire a second round of heartless artillery. Zongze personally led the army to the rear of the heartless artillery fifty meters away without any damage. However, the Jin army's
The position is exposed within the optimal range of the revitalization cannon. In the past few days, the revitalization cannon could not be aimed accurately. After all, the distance was relatively far and it was difficult to accurately hit the core of the enemy. But it is different now. Now the revitalization cannon can
Highly aimed shooting.
Wanyanchang was already frightened. He still dared to dispatch soldiers to the front. In fact, it was useless because the soldiers at the rear had shrunk to the corner. Anyway, the farther away from the shore, the better. Everything that happened in front of him had already
They were frightened.
Bang bang bang!
Boom boom boom!
Fifty large revitalizing cannons and fifty small revitalizing cannons were fired at the same time. These were all stone bombs. The fortress without the protection of the earth seemed vulnerable to the extremely powerful shells and was directly destroyed.
, because the previous fortresses were all designed to protect against arrows, and the thickest ones were also designed to protect against crossbows. Currently, there are no fortresses to protect against cannonballs, resulting in insufficient thickness. However, I believe that after this war, countries other than the Song Dynasty will build defense revitalization cannons.
fortress.
This round of bombing was a high-precision bombing. The fragile fortresses began to collapse one after another, and the catapults behind it also began to be bombed one after another. Some catapults did not need the revitalization cannon, and the crossbows
The car was directly destroyed.
Facing all this, the Jin Army could only watch helplessly. Fortunately, Gao Qingyi reacted quickly and quickly sent people to rescue the catapults. Although dozens of catapults were recovered, more than a hundred catapults were still scrapped.
Under the devastating blow of the heartless artillery, the Song Army finally established a foothold on the river bank, which forced the Jin Army to retreat to the city. This is the second line of defense, because the purpose of the Jin Army was to delay time, and they built it here.
The purpose of the second line of defense is to give itself a room to launch an attack when the Song Army crosses the river. If it retreats to the top of the city now, it will completely lose the ability to actively attack, and the Song Army crossing the river is actually very difficult.
The key point is that this must be a tough battle, because you can't fill up the whole river. You still have to use people to occupy the other side so that the convoy can cross the river. This is a good opportunity for the Jin Army to attack. However, they still have to face
The power of artillery.
After occupying the river bank, Zongze immediately organized a large number of soldiers to fill the river. This was much easier. They could fill the river day and night, which greatly accelerated the speed of filling the river. If it was like what happened a few days ago, it would have to wait until what year and month!
Jin Jun could only watch as the opponent dumped bags of soil into the river, and had no choice at all.
All Song Jun had to do was wait.
"Report ---, report to the Emperor that there is an urgent message from General Zhang and General Zhe."
Zhao Kai was stunned for a moment and then said happily: "Could it be that they have already conquered Guizhou, Ruzhou and other prefectures and counties? Bring it quickly."
But when he opened the letter and looked at it, Zhao Kai suddenly frowned.
Zongze asked hurriedly: "Your Majesty, what happened?"
Zhao Kaicuo said in astonishment: "The Jin Army---the Jin Army has withdrawn."
"withdraw troops?"
Zongze, Li Qi and others were all shocked.
Zhao Kai handed the letter to Zongze. After Zongze read it, he handed it to Li Qi, "It seems that the other party wants to protect Yunzhou with all his strength."
Zongze suddenly shook his head and said: "If they try their best to protect Yunzhou, they should not withdraw their troops. Once they concentrate their forces in Yunzhou, then all our armies can arrive in Yunzhou and besiege them. If they want to protect Yunzhou,
Yunzhou should contain the armies of our various ministries instead of bringing in several times the army to attack Yunzhou City."
When Zhao Kai heard this, he made some sense and said, "Are they planning to withdraw from Yanyun?"
Li Qi was confused and said: "If they really plan to withdraw their troops, why do they insist on holding on to Yunzhou so much? They can just retreat to the north. We haven't controlled the Great Wall there yet."
Zongze shook his head and said: "This matter is not that simple. That Wanyan Zonghan is definitely not in vain. There is no way he would do this."
Zhao Kai's analysis made some sense, but it made him even more confused, "Then this is too strange. The Jin Army is neither withdrawing its troops nor returning to aid Yunzhou. So what is the Jin Army planning to do?"
Li Qi frowned and said: "Do you think it is possible for the Jin Army to see through our strategic intentions, abandon the city, and then concentrate its superior forces to launch a massive counterattack?"
Zongze's eyes widened when he heard this, and an ominous premonition suddenly arose, "Yes, it must be like this." After saying that, he immediately shouted outside the tent, "Here comes someone."
Someone walked in, and before he could speak, Zongze hurriedly said: "Send someone quickly to inform General Zhe and the others, and tell him not to take it lightly and be careful of the Jin army's counterattack. You must be quick, otherwise it will be too late."
