Chapter 1829 Thunderbolt! The stone is shocking! The peak of cold weapons and artillery
The new stone-throwing cannons that stand tall and seem to be as straight as the sky are like huge beasts with teeth and claws. And underneath each of the stone-throwing cannons, there are many warrior soldiers busy. The roughness has been polished.
The stone bullet weighing 150 kilograms was carried into the pocket at one end of the cannon shaft by shirtless strong men. At the same time, a large number of Jin troops in the city gathered densely on the Yanjing city wall, and even the whole
Yan Xie was also anxious to get the report from the sergeant, and he quickly climbed up to the watchtower of the city gate with all the military officers and officials in the city, watching the formation of the rebel armies whose shouts of killing became more and more noisy.
But why did the enemy troops outside the city only seem to be waving flags and shouting, but did not send out infantry troops to launch an offensive with goose chariots, rams, oars, wells and other siege equipment?
On the side of the rebels led by Xiao Tang, Ling Zhen could vaguely see the colorful flags standing on top of the Yanjing city wall, and the dense crowds of people surging along the wall. It was obvious that a large number of defenders had gathered to guard the city.
The area around the city gate has also entered the most lethal strike range of the giant slingshot! The fists that had been pinched and crackling at the joints were finally released. Ling Zhen raised his hands high, and then struck forward with all his strength, and said in his mouth
He also shouted loudly: "Set off the cannon!"
Ling Zhen roared, and the artillery arrays located all over the south of Yanjing City rang out one after another with extremely thick and loud horn trumpets, and the gunners in charge of each slinging gun also gave orders. It was like towering wooden towers.
A section of the giant slingshot gun shaft fell violently, and the huge rocks contained in the pocket flew straight into the sky. When the heavy objects were thrown into the air together, the fierce sound of breaking wind gathered in one place, and also
The countless officers and soldiers around him suddenly felt the loud sound penetrate into their ears!
The huge stone bullet was suddenly ejected, drawing countless arcs in the air. Wanyan Xie, who was hesitating on the watchtower, saw countless black spots gradually enlarging in mid-air, heading straight towards him.
When the fall came over, his heart suddenly thumped, and an uneasy feeling suddenly emerged in his heart.
I had heard before that the soldiers and horses led by Xiao Tang were equipped with extravagant artillery and equipment. When they attacked many cities on the Jingdong Road and Yanyun Land, they destroyed the walls and gates, causing the state capital to fall.
The firearms issued are extravagant. The walls of Yanjing are taller and stronger. A certain family also has many stone-throwing tools and crossbows to destroy your siege equipment. But why can the stone bullets fired by those guys this time be so effective?
Hit so far? In such large numbers? And the sound of the stone bullets fired is so terrifying!?
Just as Wanyan Xie was thinking to himself in shock, extremely violent collision sounds were heard one after another, which was about to shatter his eardrums. The heavy stone bullets took advantage of the falling force to hit the towering tower in the south of Yanjing.
And the city wall stretched for a long distance, which immediately caused sawdust, gravel, and cracked tiles to fly everywhere, and a stone bullet hit the tower above the south side of Yanjing. One side of the solid gate tower that was originally piled up suddenly collapsed.
The sky was filled with dust and smoke, and broken bricks and rocks suddenly fell down. Shocked and screams immediately rang out. Only one stone bullet hit the city gate tower, causing the masonry to collapse, and more than thirty Jin soldiers below were killed.
The guard was beaten to death!
What's more, a series of solid and heavy stone bullets that can't even be counted with the naked eye fell from the sky. The heavy impact on the city wall immediately rolled up many Jin soldiers around and flew upside down. The frequent screams were suddenly heard.
The violent sound of the falling stone bullets colliding with the Yanjing city wall was completely drowned out, and the defensive equipment that had been prepared on the city wall was immediately destroyed by the bombardment. It was originally full of boiling and churning gold.
The juicy and oily cauldron was smashed and flew out, and the smoke that choked people's eyes and noses spread out again. Instead, the skin of many Jin Army guards on the wall was charred and their flesh was rotten. Even those who were lucky enough to save a life were also
It has completely lost its combat effectiveness.
Some of the stone bullets even crossed the southern wall of Yanjing City, directly destroying the slingshot artillery arrayed behind the city. A large number of them gathered under the city gate behind the city gate, and they still had to be pulled and pulled by hundreds of strong men.
The five-point cannon and the seven-point cannon that could only be fired could only be used in the blink of an eye. One, two, three... one after another collapsed with violent crashes, and some even drew out their sabers and screamed at the top of their lungs. The surroundings were already in chaos.
General Jin Jun, who looked like a headless fly and a soldier of labor, suddenly realized that his vision went dark. When he raised his head and looked up in surprise, he saw a stone bullet flying into the air, quickly plunging everything he could see into darkness.
, the heavy stone bullets directly embedded the flesh and blood body into the cold earth, and then rolled over again, crushing traces of blurred flesh and blood...
Originally, according to the tactics of the siege and defenders, the siege side would use catapults and long-range siege equipment to destroy the defenders' city defense line. However, due to the limited destructive power of the artillery in ordinary times, they only tried to consume the rolling wood and stone in the city.
As for the material reserves of city defense equipment, when the offensive and defensive equipment scales and arrangements of the offensive and defensive sides tend to be balanced, the attacking party will inevitably have to forcefully attack the city pass and seize the key passes at the cost of human lives. According to Sun Wu's military strategy, the next step is to
To defeat enemies, then to attack troops, and then to attack the city, the side that defends according to the danger can often cause the other party to pay a heavy price of casualties and still be able to defend the city. This is why Wanyan Xie will still do it even though the country is in a critical situation.
Trying to defend Yanjing City, or even using this as a turning point, could severely defeat the power of Xiao and Tang. However, no matter how the generals of the Jin Dynasty in the city planned and deployed, they could never have expected that the artillery array deployed by Xiao and Tang was a deadly weapon.
, it is a product of the times for the general season. It also teaches Yanjing to defend the city tightly. I thought it would cost Xiao Tang to pay heavy casualties, but even after a long time, he may not be able to break through and capture the capital of Yanjing.
The generals of the Jin Army were shocked to realize that such a strategy of attacking and attacking would not only inflict heavy losses on their own side, but even if they tried to use the danger of the city to maintain a stalemate, they would not be able to harm the enemy troops who were gathering for a fierce attack outside the city at all!
This was just to use stone bullets to bombard the Yanjing city wall, so that its power could be fully exerted. And Ling Zhenyuan looked at the chaotic scene of chickens and dogs jumping on the wall of the opposite city, and his chest was rising and falling with frequency.
He became more and more anxious, and his eyes also showed the glorious look of a craftsman who worked hard day and night and could see his hard work making a big profit. As Ling Zhen gave another order with an increasingly high-pitched voice, the people around the giant catapult
The gunners, sergeants, civilians, and craftsmen responded enthusiastically, and enthusiastically poured oil into the clay pots, sealed them with leather, and attached oil-soaked sesame balls to the outside with gunstone firearms equipped with ignition fuses.
Served in the trebuchet bag.
A catapult that can fire a solid stone projectile weighing 150 kilograms, and then ignite the external explosive. After being thrown out, it shatters when it hits the ground, and a firearm that causes violent fire oil to splash and cause a raging fire can exert great power.
Lethality? As Ling Zhen shouted another order, a giant slingshot gun in the artillery array fired heavy firearms and shells almost at the same time, drawing a series of parabolic black spots in the air that fell straight down like locusts.
However, it was different from the stone bombs that bombarded the surrounding area of the city. The shells hit the city wall hard, and the filled fire oil immediately exploded and splashed out when it touched the fire trigger. In an instant, it triggered a raging sea of fire, and the flames suddenly burst into flames.
It soared into the sky, causing a large number of shocked Jin soldiers around to wail and run around. During the pushing and shoving, an unknown number of people fell straight from the edge of the female wall and the gap in the city wall that had collapsed due to the previous bombardment.
