Raging fires were burning everywhere on the southern wall of Yanjing City, slowly devouring the layers of corpses on the ground. Some people were not dead yet, but they were tossing and turning on the cracked wall, making heart-rending screams.
Wails. Some people have been swallowed up by the blazing flames for most of their bodies, and their facial features have been blurred by the killing. They are wrapped in flames and run around wailing, and even go crazy and rush straight to the top of the city to throw them down.
He fell directly to death, and he would no longer suffer the endless pain of being burned alive by the fierce fire. This tragic situation also made the surrounding Jin army retreat with horror. No one knew what would happen in the next round on the opposite side.
Under the bombardment of the thrown stone shells, he was killed on the spot, even worse than death. Could it be him?
In the era of transition to rifled guns, smoothbore guns, etc., they are different from trebuchets. They are composed of a barrel, a breech, a breech and other parts. The breech is used to load shells filled with gunpowder to kill the enemy at a long distance.
Before its birth, the new catapults developed by Ling Zhen were undoubtedly the pinnacle of today's cutting-edge artillery weapons. They used such a large formation to bombard the Jin Army soldiers and horses who had never expected the power of their artillery.
It is also enough to destroy the fighting will of the soldiers defending the city.
What's more, these were just solid stone bullets, and two rounds of bombardment with fierce oil bombs. Ling Zhen's continuous orders also made his voice a little hoarse, but he still gave orders tirelessly, and this time he shot out the piece from the artillery array.
A piece of artillery shell hit the already devastated city wall of Yanjing City, but it made a series of loud noises like earth shattering. The explosion caused large areas of bricks and earth on the city wall to begin to collapse and collapse. The top of the city trembled wildly, and smoke was everywhere.
The strike range is still three to four hundred meters, but the large thunder shell weighing 150 kilograms but containing gunpowder fell and immediately embedded several feet into the city wall. The explosion caused by those at the center of the bombardment.
Fortunately to save his life, but already frightened, Sergeant Jin was immediately swept away by a stream of air. Many people were within the range of the shell explosion, and their bodies were immediately turned into stumps and rotten flesh.
The masonry and debris wrapped in the fire were blown into the air. Many large holes were blasted out of the city wall. Countless soldiers with arms and legs broken by the bombing fell around and screamed in a pool of blood filled with smoke.
Howling...
Under Ling Zhen's command, the explosive shells were thrown out with such force that even the mountains standing in front of them seemed to be enough to be blown to pieces!
When the fire breaks out, the city will be shattered, and the smoke and clouds will scatter, causing ghosts and gods to worry!
Faced with such an overwhelming bombardment, the disgraced Jin army in Yanjing City did not respond at all. In the south of Yanjing City, which was shaking everywhere, there were some Jurchens on the wall who were trying to defeat the crumbling wall.
Shouting at the top of their lungs, the warriors above the city platform who were burned by smoke and fire and were also in shock immediately raised their sledgehammers, and the crossbows and crossbows that were hit by the machine also made a fierce sound.
With a thick arrow shaft, iron feathers, and a triangular-edged iron arrowhead at the front, and almost the same length as the spear used by ordinary infantry, the three sword arrows were ejected immediately, making the same shrill sound of breaking wind.
Howling and rushing towards the rebel artillery formation on the opposite side, which was still firing solid bullets, fierce fire oil, and thunderous shells!
However, the range was extremely long, and the powerful spears and three sword arrows at the penetrating end were fired one after another, and were nailed to the earth and stone barriers arrayed in the artillery formation that were as thick as fish scales. Most of the strength of the crossbow arrows was removed.
, it can only attack with a flat shot, and at most it can shoot directly into the solid wall, and it can't cause any damage to the giant sling artillery arranged on the back. On the other hand, the gunners of the various teams in the artillery array
Still pressing Ling Zhen's command, they fired out the artillery shells loaded with various standards in an orderly manner. When they looked up, they could see that even though the tip of the huge arrow cluster of a crossbow had penetrated the barrier, the arrow shaft was already stuck several feet thick.
Among the ramparts made of earth and stone... and pieces of flying stone shells were shot out from the artillery array. The stone bullets plummeted to where they fell, causing a bloody mess, and the city platform was full of
The bed crossbow was either smashed by stone bullets, or just passed by, and immediately burst into pieces, along with the screams and howls of the Jurchen soldiers around it, which can still be heard endlessly!
The artillery array stood like a forest, and the fish scale array was also arrayed in front of the barrier protection. The catapult artillery still followed the order of General Ling Zhen to bombard the city head step by step, destroying the seemingly solid wall fortifications of the opposite city one after another, and the rear
In the large formation, there were also sergeants preparing more stone-throwing artillery shells, as if they were inexhaustible. But the panicked Jin soldiers on the top of the city were helpless. Their armor and flesh and blood were flattened by falling boulders.
Or howling and falling from the position where the city wall collapsed, struggling in panic in the raging fire and the air flow stirred up by the exploding cannonballs, they still inevitably fell one after another, and the stacked corpses, rubble and broken wood
Bricks and tiles are mixed together, and most of them are almost invisible...
The range of the giant catapult can also be enough to cross the city wall and blast into the inner houses near the city gate. Xiao Tang commanded the main troops to be stationed in the south of Yanjing City, which also attracted the defenders in the city to gather in this direction. Originally, Yanjing
Most of the people in the residential buildings near the south gate of the city were expelled. Some of the houses were demolished and used to replenish the cost of rolling wood and stone. They set up tents and tents and stationed a large number of soldiers and civilians just to arrange the arrangements for Yan.
The offensive and defensive offensive in the south of the capital was timely mobilized when replenishing and consuming the defensive equipment.
However, a large number of soldiers and soldiers were stationed near the inner side of the Yanjing city gate. Unexpectedly, the civilian workers saw stone bullets falling from the sky, destroying the catapults and artillery. Countless lives were lost in shock and panic.
They were smashed into pools of blood-soaked meatloaf, burned into humanoid corpses that looked like charcoal, and their bodies were blown to pieces... Although the lives of some civilians who were forcibly recruited by the Jin army were still unavoidably injured, and
The vast majority of those killed by the rounds of artillery bombardment were the already panic-stricken Jin Army generals in Yanjing City.
Today's bombardment of Yanjing, commanded personally by Hong Tianlei Lingzhen, resulted in more than 6,000 casualties from the Jin army defending the city. Countless soldiers were seriously injured and completely decapitated, and a large number of soldiers defending the city were killed.
The equipment had been destroyed and blown up as if it had not been of any use. On the other hand, Xiao Tang's side who was attacking the city... In addition to two gunners who ducked when placing the shells because they were eager to load the shells immediately, there was also one
Lux accidentally got his foot smashed while carrying the ordnance...other than that, there were zero casualties.
When the fierce artillery attack outside the city seemed to have come to an end, the Jin army commander Wanyan Xieye inside the city, who had followed his brother Wanyan Agu to swear an oath to fight against the Liao Dynasty, had repeatedly led his troops to kill the Khitan, and the various tribes were shocked.
, the marshal who nominally invaded the armies of the Song Dynasty was supposed to be the first figure among the Jin Kingdom's Yanqing heroes. It was said that the founding minister who was respected only by the famous generals of the Jurchen tribes' nephews and nephews was actually the founding minister.
With the support of several personal followers, he hurried back to the palace in embarrassment. At this time, Wanyan Xieye's face turned ashen, and his hands and feet still seemed to be trembling uncontrollably. Today's shocking scene of Xiao Tang's army's artillery array firing together was enough to make him
In this Jin Dynasty, Ban Bo was extremely violent and his liver and gallbladder were broken.
Especially when the first few rounds of bombardment were launched from the opposite artillery array, Wanyan Xie suddenly felt that the watchtower where he was was shaking violently. When the guards around him escorted him to the watchtower in a panic, there was another one.
The Bangtianlei shells fell near the watchtower, blasting the few members of the Jin Army who were still standing above to pieces. The watchtower he was in not long ago was immediately blown up and collapsed, only a moment earlier.
Wanyan Xie also knew that if he had delayed for a moment, he, the commander-in-chief of the Yanjing garrison, would have been killed by a cannon on the first day of the war!
It's a shame that the artillery in the army led by that traitor Xiao Tang was so powerful, it was far beyond the expectations of a certain family. How could this Yanjing City be defended!?
