Ten Shenwei general cannons were lined up in the open space in the center of the inner camp. Previously, these Shenwei generals were placed on the fort near the outer camp because Lin Jue was worried that the opponent would attack with large siege equipment.
There is still room for use. After all, solid artillery shells can destroy any siege equipment with just one hit, so it may be useful at critical times.
However, the opponent has no siege equipment at all and relies entirely on manpower to attack. It is impossible to bombard the opponent's soldiers and horses with Shenwei General Cannon. The cost-effectiveness is too low. It is better to shoot a few bows and arrows.
When the outer camp was about to be defeated, Lin Jue issued the order to retreat. The first thing that was dragged to the inner camp by horses and horses was the Shenwei General Cannon. The outer shell of the swarm rocket launcher could be discarded. After all, it was nothing without an inner core and a rocket.
It's just an ordinary conical fine iron cylinder. Throwing it to the Jurchens will not cause any consequences. But the Shenwei general cannons cannot be thrown away. If the Jurchens get these cannons, the Jurchens will definitely imitate and promote them, which will definitely cause future troubles.
I am afraid that no strong city will be able to stop them in the future. Lin Jue is even prepared. If the army is defeated here today, it will be necessary to blow the Shenwei General's cannon into pieces. He will never let the Jurchens get such a powerful siege weapon.
.
The inner camp was in emergency, and Lin Jue didn't want to get caught up in the final melee. Just now, he saw the location of Wanyan Aguda, and decided to use the divine cannon to carry out a beheading operation. Wanyan Aguda was located on the earth platform inside the outer camp.
, should be two miles away from the center of the inner camp. The maximum range of the Shenwei General Cannon cannot exceed two miles, and it is against the wind, so Lin Jue is not sure about this. But after some calculations, Lin Jue thinks that if
If you increase the amount of gunpowder, you can give it a try. Although there is a danger of exploding the barrel, there is not much to worry about at this moment.
The biggest problem is that the Shenwei General Cannon is a solid iron cannonball. It is really difficult to hit a person two miles away. It is like shooting a fly a hundred steps away with a bow and arrow. Even worse than this
It is even more difficult. Moreover, this method only has one chance. Once it fails, Wanyan Aguda will be frightened and hide or distance himself, and there will be no chance again.
So in addition to calculating the launch angle and adjusting the accuracy, Lin Jue decided to fire ten divine cannons together to increase the hit probability tenfold. The target was not Wanyan Aguda, that target was too small. Target setting
The target is set on that earth platform, so that the target is large enough and the error is relatively small. As long as it can hit the earth platform, with the power of the iron cannonballs of the Shenwei General Cannon, the earth platform will be blown to pieces, and Wanyan Agu on the earth platform will be damaged.
Spread. As long as you are lucky, it can still kill him.
In fact, Lin Jue was not sure about the outcome. He rarely made such decisions where the uncertain outcome mostly depended on luck. But today he had no choice because the Jurchens really forced him to take this step.
. All the Jurchens’ bravery and fearlessness of death come from
The source lies in Wanyan Agu. As long as Wanyan Agu is solved, the Jurchen army will inevitably collapse. This is beyond doubt.
Liang Qi and Ruan Ping personally led hundreds of people to set up the Shenwei cannon according to Lin Jue's request. Although they were a little puzzled by the commander's decision, they never thought of questioning the commander's decision. Lin Jue himself also took it upon himself to set up the Shenwei cannon.
He measured the angle of the muzzle with a wooden protractor, and measured the changes in wind speed from time to time. From time to time he muttered calculations to himself. The limited knowledge he learned on earth was finally put to use.
My teacher said, "Learn mathematics, physics, and chemistry well, and you will not be afraid of traveling around the world." I thought it was just a slogan at the time, but now I truly realize the correctness of this sentence. If you learn mathematics, physics, and chemistry well, you will not be afraid not only of traveling around the world, but also of traveling through time.
Not afraid.
Two more gaps were broken through on the north side of the inner camp, and the battle has entered a fierce stage. The Luoyan Army's cavalry is insufficient, and they have to use infantry to block the Jurchen cavalry that rushes in. The casualties on both sides are very serious. The Luoyan Army's previous
The number of casualties in the battle was far lower than that of the opponent. Because they were holding back the camp and attacking the opponent with firearms, bows and arrows, rather than engaging in a head-on battle, the casualties were not large. However, from a certain moment on, the number of casualties of the Luoyan Army rose sharply, and it had exceeded that of the Jurchen army.
The number of casualties was high. Ma Bin was already preparing to ask tens of thousands of civilians who were driving logistics vehicles to go forward to contain the opponent, because every hole that was breached required manpower to block, and it was already somewhat overwhelmed.
There were loud killings and screams everywhere. Lin Jue turned a deaf ear and concentrated on calculating the angle of each cannon. He lay on the ground covered in dust and his face was covered with sweat. Finally, all ten divine cannons were set up, Lin Jue
Jue breathed a sigh of relief and said to Liang Qi: "Brother Liang, prepare to fire. Remember, three times the amount of gunpowder. The barrel and shells must be cleaned. In addition, make it clear to the brothers that three times the amount of gunpowder is likely to
Explode the barrel, let everyone be careful."
Liang Qi cupped his hands and said: "Don't worry, Commander, I will light the fire myself."
Lin Jue patted his arm, nodded and said, "Be careful and do it."
Liang Qi gave the order loudly, and the gunners quickly stepped forward, quickly checked the inside of the ammunition, filled it with powder, pulled out the match rope, and got ready. Everyone nearby was ordered to step back dozens of steps to find a place to hide.
Take a bunker just in case it blows up.
Lin Jue climbed up to the command platform again and raised his telescope to look at where Wanyan Agu was. Coincidentally, Wanyan Agu was standing on the platform and was also looking at him with his telescope. Wanyan Agu's
His movements stagnated for a moment, and he obviously recognized himself. The corners of his mouth widened, as if he was watching his sarcastic laughter. Lin Jue also grinned and smiled in return, and at the same time raised his hand towards Wanyan Agu.
He waved and waved goodbye. The next moment, his palm was like a knife and he swung it down violently. That was the signal for ignition and launch.
Liang Qi below got the signal and shouted loudly
Order: "Light...fire...! Launch!"
Ten gunners, including Liang Qi, used torches to light the match rope fuses in unison. Then everyone quickly ran away and ran to a pit dozens of steps away and lay down holding their heads.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the ten mighty general cannons standing quietly on the ground with their heads held high. When the wind blew, the sparks on the match ropes scattered, the smoke rose, and the flames burned quickly. Soon, all the guns were burning.
The match ropes were burned into the breech chamber, and no sparks could be seen. Everything seemed to solidify in an instant. Everyone stared at the Shenwei General Cannon and waited with worry, panic, and expectation.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" A huge roar resounded throughout the world in an instant, shaking everyone within a hundred steps around and dizzy, and some people's ears and noses were shocked to bleed. The ground within a hundred steps seemed to be shaking.
There was a big tremor for a moment, and the mud and other objects on the ground began to beat. A layer of fine smoke rose from the entire ground.
The soldiers and horses of both sides who were fighting outside were stunned by the loud noise for a moment. Hundreds of war horses were frightened and stood up, screaming. In addition, the entire battlefield fell into chaos at the moment of the loud noise.
Dead silence.
Lin Jue's ears were also buzzing, but all his attention at the moment was focused on the earth platform in the distance. He could see it clearly through the telescope. He saw two huge plumes of smoke erupting from the side of the earth platform, and he suddenly
My heart went cold. The shells obviously missed, one to the left and one to the right, missing by about twenty steps. But the next moment, the entire earthen platform exploded like an erupting volcano. Amidst the smoke and dust in the sky, the Jurchen giant
The flag was flying in the air, and there were seven or eight humanoid objects flying in the air.
Lin Jue was overjoyed and jumped up like a child. He laughed and said, "I'm hit! At least five shells."
Bai Bing, who was beside him, also saw the explosion of the earthen platform and screamed in excitement. Lin Jue could not help but feel happy and had nowhere to vent, so he suddenly hugged Bai Bing and lifted her up high.
Lin Jue's guess was correct. There were a total of six iron cannonballs that hit the earthen platform. Six large iron balls hit the upper part of the earthen platform that was about ten feet in diameter and about two feet in height. The structure of the earthen platform was loose, but it was simple.
It is just a pile of mud bags. Its purpose is just to raise the position to give a swarm of rocket launchers a condescending launch angle, and can pass over the heads of the defenders on the city wall. The power of General Shenwei's artillery shells was already obtained when attacking the south gate of Bianliang.
To demonstrate, although the huge iron ball does not have the power to explode, the effect produced by slamming it into the earth platform is very powerful. Just like a hammer hitting a watermelon, the cannonballs hitting the earth platform lift up the soil and carry it with them.
An alternative explosion effect. Six of them hit together, which is even more powerful.
The huge impact force lifted everyone on the earth platform into the air, and along with the earth, they were thrown into the air like rag dolls, and then fell heavily.
