Chapter 53 Siege Battle

The so-called military meeting is actually a kind of meeting where difficulties are put on the table and everyone works together to find a solution. This is also a kind of meeting specially thought up by the superiors to cover up their own incompetence and use other people's wisdom as their own.

One way.

Logically speaking, this is a very serious act of plagiarism, but this kind of behavior has started since ancient times, and it was even born in the same period as power.

Many words praise this kind of behavior, ranging from not being ashamed to ask questions to working together as a team. Most of them are complimentary. Of course, there is also a strong color of power in them.

After Sun Jie came up with such a weird thing as a skateboard, he received heartfelt praise from Yun Zheng. Sun Jie, who was trembling with excitement, was the first to get on the skateboard without even thinking about it, and then went to attack the city.

Sun Jie is a gunner. This is a very precious talent. It is a professional talent that has been fed by the army with hundreds of artillery shells. Now someone has given him the nickname Hongtianlei. How can he be used as cannon fodder and suffer war losses in Tongtou in vain?

Close it.

The skateboard is actually very simple. You just need to saw the wood and cut it into an upturned raft. Then use the eight-niu crossbow to launch the hook lock to a dry place on the shore. After the hook lock locks the ground tightly, the raft is

The soldiers can pull the raft and charge towards the shore. Although this method is not very good, it is enough to cope with the current situation.

As long as the soldiers do not have to wade in the mud, they can use the scull shield, the best defensive tool against crossbows, to its maximum, which can reduce the casualties of the soldiers to a great extent.

If such a wooden raft can be continuously close to Tongtou Pass, the wooden raft can even be laid directly on the mud, turning the muddy ground into a stable platform.

The matter was settled, and this military meeting was naturally a victorious and effective military meeting. At this military meeting, with the encouragement of the general, the inducement of the privy envoy, and the brainstorming of various generals, the craftsman

Husun ​​mastered the weapon in the swamp battle-the skateboard! He won the Silver Sixteen Guan for his merit.

Knowing that this matter was very unfair to Sun Jie, Yun Zheng did not intend to correct it. He kept napping during the meeting, Wen Yanbo was studying the geographical location of Yamagata, and the other generals were talking nonsense.

No nonsense, it was Sun Jie who really put his mind to thinking, and then he came up with a skateboard that would be very useful in future swamp battles.

This is purely a shining point of Sun Jie's wisdom, but everyone seems to have chosen to forget it. If Yun Zheng hadn't rewarded Sun Jie with sixteen copper coins at the meeting, the military secretary wouldn't even know Sun Jie's name.

mentioned.

As for the military merit that this skateboard will produce, it naturally belongs to an invincible general!

If a city you want to attack is too strong, it is the stupidest way to use human lives to fill it. However, since ancient times, the most people have used this method, because for generals, human lives are the most convenient and cheapest thing.

It would be wiser to use the corresponding equipment to attack. As for the art of war, which is about subduing the enemy without fighting, something that is only found in myths, Yun Zheng generally would not consider it.

There is still time. As long as the war continues to burn on the land of the Liao Kingdom, every day it burns, the strength of the Liao Kingdom will weaken by one point. When both the enemy and ourselves are using the resources of the same country, the damage will be doubled.

Everything is ready. Today will be an important moment to determine the fate of Tongtou Pass. The Song Army has overcome all the obstacles created by Yelu Yixin in Yanghe and in front of Tongtou Pass. Can they make an effective attack on Tongtou Pass today?

It's time to find out.

It was agreed that the whole army would prepare food at the third watch and raise troops at the fifth watch. Yun Zheng was awakened by the monkey standing outside the tent at the third watch. He pulled his head out with difficulty from the ghost woman's plump chest.

He wrapped her tightly in a blanket and pushed her aside. Then he got up and went to the front of the military tent. He put on the armor with the help of the monkey. When he was leaving, he heard the woman calling him back quickly in a very lazy voice.



When he came outside the tent, he took a long breath of clear air, and his dizzy mind immediately sobered up. In order to keep himself in the best condition, Yun Zheng buried his head in the cold water, and did not raise his head until he was about to suffocate.

After taking a breath, the real person seemed to come to life again.

The soldiers, staff, soldiers, and secretaries are all waiting in the Chinese army's tent. As for the generals, they have returned to their own tents to prepare for the battle.

After the meal was delivered, everyone was munching. The breakfast was very sumptuous. Everyone was trying to eat as much as possible. God knows when the next meal will be available after finishing this meal.

After the meal, Yun Zheng led the Chinese army to the bank of the Yang River. He sat cross-legged on a high wooden platform and waited for the sunrise. The long sword was placed on his knees. The army had already moved to its proper position.

Hai Dongqing brought the latest news, the battle in the upper and lower reaches of Yanghe River has begun.

Eight huge war drums were lined up along the river, and the history of their backs was exposed. At the moment of daylight, they waved the drumsticks, and the deafening drums suddenly echoed on the banks of the Yang River.

The purpose of beating the drum was to let the Liao people go to the city gate, and also to help the artillery find the best living target. Sun Jie stood energetically on the artillery position on the trestle, smiling ferociously as he waited for the military order to fire.

As soon as the drumming stopped, Sun Jie viciously thrust the red-hot iron bar into the cannon hole. The artillery roared, and the trestle creaked loudly due to the huge recoil. Ripples appeared on the calm swamp water. Fortunately, the trestle was strong enough.

, still withstood the recoil, and successfully sent the shell to the bronze head.

The smoke filled the city. Broken flags and flying city bricks mixed with some torn human bodies emerged from the smoke. It was like a ferocious giant was swinging his hammer at the city.

Lieutenant General Lang Tan Ge Tianfang was the first to jump on the skateboard with a scull shield. The Eight Ox Crossbow behind him was hit by a mallet and the trigger was hit. The strong elasticity sent the thick flying claw with the rope head to the open space opposite. Ge

Tianfang's assistant slowly dragged the rope connected to the skateboard back. After a few drags, it stopped moving. The flying claws on the opposite side were already firmly grasped on the ground.

In the turtle shell made of oar shields, four or five big men struggled to drag the rope. They did not pull back the land on the opposite side. Under the reaction force, the skateboards under their feet slid rapidly towards the shore.

From the beginning, the artillery's target was the trebuchet placed by the Liao people at the top of the city. The feather arrows had little effect on the turtle shell array, but once stones as big as a human head fell from high altitude, they would completely smash the turtle shell.

The city was filled with smoke and it was difficult to see what was going on there. Yun Zheng could only judge from the rotten wood flying out whether the trebuchet had been destroyed.

Some wooden planks on the Tongtouguan city wall were pushed open, revealing dark arrow holes. With the sound of a gong, dense arrows were sprayed out from the arrow holes. This was simply not what the rate of fire of bows and arrows could provide.

A dense rain of arrows.

"The tigers are running together!" Jiang Zhe roared angrily and then looked at Wang Anshi, who was in charge of logistics. He didn't understand how the Liao people had such a rocket-like weapon.

Wang Anshi looked at the Song army huddled in a turtle shell and was being attacked by an unprecedented dense rain of arrows, and said expressionlessly: "Many years ago, weapons like the Tigers Running Together were once a birthday gift from the Song Dynasty to the Emperor of Liao.

"

Yun Zheng's face fell because he saw the stone bullets flying out of the gunpowder smoke. He watched helplessly as the stone bullets landed on a turtle shell, smashing the shell into pieces, and then the Song Army turned around in panic to avoid it.

In an instant, he was shot into a hedgehog by a crossbow arrow with fireworks.

Seeing his subordinates spinning and falling into the mud, Lang Tan's face was ashen, and he ignored the etiquette. He came to Sun Jie and roared at him to speed up the firing rate of the artillery.

Fortunately, not many stone bullets flew out of the smoke, and more stone bullets landed far away from the skateboard because they were fired randomly.

A skateboard suddenly exploded violently. After the loud noise, the skateboard and the eight Song Jun soldiers on it all disappeared.

Ge Tianfang reached out and wiped the blood on his face from nowhere, and shouted to urge his subordinates, faster, faster! (To be continued)
