Of course, the so-called "huge" is relative to the Qi army.
For Qi Jun, who had never seen much of the world at this time, the destructive power caused by this shell was terrifying.
The destructive power of solid artillery shells is limited, but at this time, the city defense of Yanjing City is far from comparable to the thick city walls built during the Dasheng Dynasty that were more than ten meters thick and used glutinous rice as adhesive. Therefore, this shot will still explode. There was a gap nearly the size of a person.
Brick fragments were flying on the city wall, and the vibrations were clearly transmitted to the surroundings. The Jin defenders on the city were even shaken to the point where they could no longer stand firm.
Such terrifying power has surpassed the previous returning artillery, and far exceeds all current siege equipment.
In comparison, the stones thrown by the previous man-made trebuchets were like scratching an itch.
But for players such as Li Hongyun, this power is still far inferior to the hot weapons of later generations.
But considering that "Dark Sands" is a historical game after all, we can only endure it.
That's almost it. You can't really rub a nuclear bomb with your hands and shoot it at the monster, right? Then the style of the game has changed.
The joy on General Han Fuyue's face became even stronger: "Okay!
"With such a magical weapon, why worry about not being able to attack Yanjing City? In a few days, we can attack this fortified city!"
"Keep firing at the city wall!"
When attacking a city, there are very few siege battles that actually break through from the city gate. In most cases, breakthroughs are made from the city wall.
Because the city gates are by no means just two thin wooden doors. Behind the heavy wooden doors, there are often several thousand kilograms of iron-wrapped solid wood gates, which are firmly embedded in the grooves of the city wall and controlled by a winch.
What's more, many fortified cities have urns behind their gates. Even if the gates are breached, they will face the dilemma of "catching a turtle in an urn" later.
In this case, storming a certain section of the city wall is a more cost-effective option.
General Han Fuyue was naturally able to clearly judge the situation at this time: with such a magical cannon, he only needed to fire at a certain section of the city wall one after another. The soldiers did not need to attack at all, they only needed to rest in the military camp and wait for work. That’s it.
If the enemy dares to come to the field to fight, then General Han Fuyue can naturally directly kill the Jin people's effective forces in the field; if the enemy does not dare to come to the field to fight, then with the Qi army's abundant logistics and food, they can calmly wait for the artillery to collapse After the city wall, rush directly into the gap.
During the artillery bombardment, the Jin people were almost helpless and had no choice.
Li Hongyun and other players looked at each other and smiled.
"How many days?
"No, General Han.
"Break Yanjing City today!"
Turning around, more cannons were pulled up!
Each Shenji player supervised the construction of a cannon, and then they were all brought to the battlefield together.
Moreover, these officials from the Ministry of Industry secretly took out a few small cannons from nowhere!
These small cannons are not too big in size. They have two legs in the front, which look a bit like a tiger squatting, like the mortars of later generations.
This is the Tiger Crouching Cannon modified by Shenji players!
The barrel of this kind of artillery is slender. Although the range is not far and can only shoot about 500 meters, it weighs only more than 30 kilograms and is flexible. It can be loaded with small and large lead bullets in layers, making it especially suitable for field battles. .
This weapon was originally used by General Deng Yuanjing in the late Dasheng Dynasty to resist bandits, and it appeared on the battlefield of the Qi Dynasty in advance.
Of course, these divine machine players choose it, on the one hand, because it has a wide range of applications and can play a certain role in sieges and field battles, and on the other hand, because of its small size, it can just fit in a divine machine.
Carry it with you wherever you go.
Each Shenji player has a cannon and a squatting cannon.
The cannon requires many soldiers to use it, but these players still need to adjust the angle and ignite it themselves after the soldiers complete operations such as cleaning the barrel and loading the shells.
Because Shenji players have exclusive talents, when using these cannons in person, both accuracy and safety will be greatly improved.
As for the squatting tiger cannons, they were also arranged aside in advance.
These Crouching Tiger Cannons are not intended to be used directly to attack the city, because the range is shorter than that of cannons, and the damage to the city wall is minimal. They have other uses.
The muzzles of several cannons were all aimed at the same section of the city wall.
"fire!"
With an order, the artillery fired!
The heavy solid cannonballs came out of the barrel with a roar, flew out whistling, and kept hitting similar locations on the same section of the city wall!
It was impossible to accurately hit a breach. The artillery at this time did not have such high accuracy. But with the talent and technology of Shenji players, these shells still landed on the city wall.
Within meters.
Let the city wall, whose original structure was already shaken, become even worse!
Stone chips were flying, bricks were falling, and some Jin soldiers were desperately trying to move the stones, bricks, and wood in the city to block the gap. However, they were directly hit by the cannonballs flying from behind and were smashed to pieces.
, limbs flying around.
Under this kind of firepower suppression, both the masonry and the human body will only break into pieces!
Soon, under the concentrated attack of artillery, the gap in the city wall began to expand. From a gap that could only allow one person to pass through, it turned into a huge gap that could accommodate several people.
To blow down the entire city wall, it would only take a few more volleys.
At this moment, a rumbling sound came from the city gate.
The heavy gate slowly rose up!
Immediately afterwards, a large number of Jin soldiers filed out!
A large number of heavy armored cavalry were in front, covered by light cavalry on both sides, and there were a large number of infantry behind.
After these golden soldiers rushed out, the Thousand Jin Gate quickly fell down and the suspension bridge rose again.
And there is a faint devilish aura lingering on them.
General Han Fuyue couldn't help but look solemn: "Protect the artillery!"
Obviously, these Jin soldiers rushed out of the city gate with only one purpose, which was to destroy the Qi army's artillery as much as possible.
The situation at this time, if the Qi army's artillery bombardment is allowed to continue, the city wall will fall sooner or later. Therefore, leaving the city and destroying the artillery at this time is the Jin people's only chance of winning.
Moreover, these golden soldiers have been strengthened by demons. Although they are not as fierce and fearless as the golden soldiers who were directly possessed by demons in the Orderer's Expedition, their fighting will is far stronger than that of ordinary golden soldiers.
The Jin soldiers lowered the Thousand Jin Gate directly after leaving the city, which means that these Jin soldiers are completely a death squad, and they have no intention of returning alive.
But the players have obviously long expected the Jin man's behavior of jumping over the wall in a hurry.
"General Han, ask the soldiers to retreat and hold the line for us!
"Let's deal with these golden soldiers!"
The players handed the cannon to other Qi soldiers and asked them to continue attacking the city wall. They themselves adjusted the position of the Crouching Tiger Cannon and aimed it at the Jin soldiers who were rushing towards them.
"boom!"
"Boom! Boom!"
The players’ squatting cannons opened fire one after another!
A large number of lead bullets are ejected from the Tiger Crouching Cannon. These lead bullets are compacted in layers. There is a large lead bullet at the front of several layers of small lead bullets. It is like a shotgun. It is sprayed out instantly. Several tigers
The squatting artillery formed a terrifying firepower network!
The Jin people's heavy cavalry were still charging, but they were already hit by lead bullets. In an instant, the horses whined and fell down one after another.
The Crouching Tiger Cannon is particularly suitable for dealing with the enemy's dense formations, effectively suppressing their crazy offensive.
After another round of cavalry shooting, even the golden soldiers strengthened by demons had their formation collapsed and became a mess.
General Han Fuyue saw the opportunity and decisively ordered: "Charge!"
The cavalry troops of the Qi army attacked like a whirlwind, sweeping up the remaining clouds and eating up all the remaining Jin soldiers.
During this process, the heavy artillery continued to bombard the city wall all the time, and a large section of the city wall had completely collapsed.
The golden soldiers posted on that section of the city wall also suffered heavy losses. They didn't dare to collect corpses from friendly forces, let alone block the defense line.
"Siege the city!"
The soldiers of the Qi army couldn't wait any longer. When the artillery ceased firing, they swarmed up and attacked the gap in the city wall!
The Jin people quickly reacted and re-defended, but at the gap, the strength of the two sides was no longer proportional.
The Qi army rushed into the city in one go!
The Shenji players headed by Li Hongyun wanted to proudly put their hands on their hips while cleaning up the artillery on the battlefield.
Look, look!
This is the magic player!
Compared to the cavalry players, the Shenji players are more capable of exerting powerful combat effectiveness in this stage of siege warfare.
Not only can they be cast and commanded by soldiers to use powerful artillery to attack the city, but they can also be carried with them to bombard the enemy's dense formations.
Of course, Shenji players are not omnipotent. The artillery they develop in the ultimate trial cannot exceed the current technological level by much, and it requires the support of various financial resources. If they cannot be in a high position, they must mobilize a large amount of resources to ensure that they are certain.
If we have more research and development time, we won't be able to produce these artillery pieces.
In this historical slice, all conditions are just met, and only the magic machine players can play such a big role.
But no matter what, being able to play such a huge role in the final trial is already a great feeling for Shenji players.
"Let's go too!"
Li Hongyun and other Shenji players put away their Crouching Tiger Cannons and followed the Qi army to the city.
Then, they formed a camp step by step. After the Qi army occupied the high terrain in the city, they deployed artillery to provide fire support for the Qi army.
The sixteen states of Yanyun came down with one drum.
…
After recapturing the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, General Han Fuyue stationed his army.
This time, the Qi Dynasty did not make the same mistakes as before. It did not burn, kill, loot or arouse fierce resistance from the people in the city.
General Han Fuyue's strict military discipline and strong combat power, which led his troops to "do not demolish houses to death or starve to death", prevented major turmoil from breaking out in the newly recovered city.
Immediately afterwards, the imperial edict from the Qi Dynasty arrived, reducing taxes and appeasing people. The order of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun stabilized and was gradually digested by the Qi Dynasty.
After resting, General Han Fuyue continued to march northward, destroying the Jin Kingdom in one fell swoop.
Then, General Han Fuyue returned in triumph.
…
At the banquet, the officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee, General Han Fuyue and the lieutenants of the army drank heavily, and the scene was a happy one.
Li Hongyun and other Shenji players boasted about the huge role they played in conquering Yanjing City, which made many players have the idea of acquiring a Shenji identity.
Qin Huizhi, played by Chu Ge, came to General Han Fuyue with a wine glass.
"General Han, I am supervising the transportation of grain and military supplies for you from the rear. Isn't it pretty good?"
General Han Fuyue no longer had the initial anger, and said respectfully: "The success of this Northern Expedition depends entirely on everyone stabilizing the rear, so that the general can concentrate on the frontline war.
"So Prime Minister Qin should be the primary contributor to the success of the Northern Expedition.
"I wrongly blamed Prime Minister Qin before.
"From now on, there will be no more war in the world, and I can finally disarm and return to the field."
General Han Fuyue was indeed as humble as ever.
Chu Ge laughed: "That's not necessary, you didn't misjudge me before.
"Besides, it may be too early for General Han to disband his troops and return to his fields, right?"
General Han Fuyue was stunned for a moment: "What does Prime Minister Qin mean by this? The Jinlu have been defeated, the Yanyun has been restored, the world has been peaceful and prosperous, the world is bright, and the last general is a warrior. What else can he do besides disbanding his armor and returning to his fields?"
Chu Ge smiled slightly: "General Han's words are wrong.
"In the peaceful and prosperous times, warriors have nothing to do? We can go one step further and wear yellow robes."
Han Fuyue was shocked: "Prime Minister Qin, don't make fun of me! How dare you commit such a serious crime of treason if your general is so loyal?"
Chu Ge laughed: "It's just a joke, no problem, no problem."
In fact, the players present really hope that General Han Fuyue can seek to usurp the throne and directly seize the power of the Qi Dynasty.
After all, it would be much better for General Han Fuyue to be the emperor than Qi Gaozong and this bunch of cheaters.
But after all, this is the real General Han Fuyue in history. He really has no rebellious intentions, so naturally he cannot force it.
Chu Ge took a sip of a drink and continued: "General Han, it would be a bit too optimistic to say that the world is fine and that we will disband and return home.
"General Han has a poem, but do you still remember the content? It seems that you haven't finished the content yet, right?"
General Han Fuyue nodded: "Of course I remember.
"The shame of Jingping has not yet snowed, and the hatred of the ministers will be destroyed. When will it be destroyed? Let's start from the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky.
"It's just that at this time, Jingping's shame has been wiped out, the old mountains and rivers have been cleared away, and the Sixteen Youyun Provinces that neither Taizu nor Taizong have taken back have also been taken back.
"Is it all done?"
Chu Ge smiled slightly: "Is there another sentence in it: drive a long car to break the gap in Helan Mountain?"
General Han Fuyue was stunned: "...Yes."
Chu Ge asked: "Where is Helan Mountain?"
General Han Fuyue was silent for a moment: "In Xixia."
Chu Ge asked again: "There is another sentence: Zhuangzhi eats the meat of the Huns when he is hungry, and drinks the blood of the Huns when he is thirsty. Where are the Huns?"
General Han Fuyue: "In... deep in Mobei."
Chu Ge nodded: "Yes, the Northern Barbarians will rise soon."
In real history, the Northern Barbarians rose around forty years after the death of General Han Fuyue.
Even if General Han Fuyue had not died unjustly at the age of thirty-nine, it was unlikely that he would have lived until the day when the Northern Barbarians truly rose.
However, he can prepare for a rainy day.
Prepare the army for war, continue to train troops, strengthen the Qi Dynasty's military force, and leave more generals for future generations.
They even directly led troops to invade Mobei, constantly attacking the northern barbarian tribes who were still nomadic, and ending the possibility of their rise.
As for breaking through the Helan Mountains and conquering Xixia, that's out of the question.
General Han Fuyue couldn't help but feel proud: "Okay! Let me borrow the auspicious words from Prime Minister Qin! In the end, the general will definitely go through fire and water, and he will do whatever it takes!"
He paused, and suddenly thought of something very important.
It stands to reason that he should have kept this matter in mind and thought about it all the time, but for some reason, the war on the front line was tense, so he forgot about it.
At this time, when I returned to the capital, I always felt that something was missing during the banquet, and then I suddenly realized.
"Prime Minister Qin!
"Since I returned to Beijing last time, I haven't seen the current official family again.
"Guan Jia, what's going on with him right now?"
This incident has been lingering in General Han Fuyue's mind, and he is obviously not unhappy about it.
Chu Ge glanced at General Han Fuyue meaningfully and asked, "General Han really wants to know?"
General Han Fuyue nodded: "Of course! As a minister, how can you not care about the official's body?"
Chu Ge thought for a while: "Okay, then please ask General Han to come with me."
The two left the banquet and entered the palace in a carriage.
In a side hall, General Han Fuyue saw Qi Gaozong lying on the bed and being served by several young eunuchs.
There were still bruises on his face. He was lying on the bed with his eyes closed and his whole body was covered in bandages. He was in a vegetative state and could not move at all.
General Han Fuyue couldn't help being shocked: "The official's injuries are so serious?
"That Golden Envoy... is so cruel!
"It's a pity that he is already dead, otherwise the general would have cut him into pieces!"
Chu Ge coughed twice: "Ahem, it is indeed a heinous crime. But don't worry, General Han. The Jin envoy has been beaten to death in the court hall, and his body has been hung on the city gate. The official was loyal to the country, so he died a worthy death."
...Oh no, I’m exhausted.”
General Han Fuyue frowned, observed carefully and said, "But why is there still blood under the official bandage?"
You must know that the Jin envoy's beating was already before the Northern Expedition, and more than half a year had passed.
Why is Qi Gaozong still bleeding now?
Chu Ge was silent for a moment: "This... the Jin man wanted to assassinate the official, so he must have sent a martial arts master.
"This martial arts master usually has internal strength. With one palm blow, his fur was not broken on the surface, but he had suffered serious internal injuries.
"Although the official has been recuperating, the internal injuries are difficult to treat, so there are still blood oozing out from time to time."
General Han Fuyue frowned, obviously not believing this statement.
Martial arts master? Internal strength?
He has heard of this kind of thing before, but firstly, he has been in the army for so long and has seen so-called martial arts masters, but he has never seen any of them with inner strength; secondly, even if they are martial arts masters,
He should be a master of the Qi Dynasty. Why do the Jin people have martial arts masters?
But doubts remain doubts, and he can't think of any other possibilities.
Anyway, Guan Jia didn't miss anything after being paralyzed in bed, so it didn't matter.
I even felt in my heart that without this official family, government orders would be smoother than before, logistics and supplies would be sufficient, and the whole country would be prosperous.
Chu Ge said: "General Han, before I leave, I will clear the way for you.
"At that time, whether you want to be an important minister or the founding king of the country, it all depends on your thoughts."
General Han Fuyue was stunned: "Before leaving? What does Prime Minister Qin mean by this?"
Chu Ge smiled slightly: "You will know soon.
"General Han, I am very happy to fight alongside you. I hope you will become a heroic spirit in the future and we will have a chance to fight together."
…
Chu Ge and other players are about to complete the final trial.
Before leaving, they had to take care of their funeral affairs.
Because Emperor Gaozong of Qi was hurt by the secret power of the Jin envoy and was unable to govern, the important officials headed by Qin Huizhi regarded him as the Supreme Emperor and supported the crown prince to ascend the throne.
This prince was Emperor Xiaozong.
Of course, Emperor Xiaozong had not yet been established as the crown prince at this time, and it was twenty years earlier than when he actually ascended the throne.
When he ascended the throne, he was only fifteen years old.
But from the perspective of Chu Ge and other players who are all over the world, these are not a problem.
After Emperor Xiaozong came to the throne, he did not violate his "filial piety" character. He served Qi Gaozong day and night and took care of him diligently.
This makes many players who still want to beat Qi Gaozong feel a pity that it is difficult to do so.
However, Qi Gaozong was already in a vegetative state at this time, so forget it.
Then, the players headed by Chu Ge began to consciously hand over the government affairs to General Han Fuyue, giving him power.
As for the future, will General Han Fuyue be a loyal minister of the Qi Dynasty and assist Qi Xiaozong? Or will he directly usurp the throne and become Emperor Taizu himself?
Then let General Han Fuyue decide for himself.
Afterwards, the players committed suicide collectively in the mansion.
Anyway, whether it's taking poison, hanging or committing suicide, players are already familiar with it.
They just used the bodies of these officials and gave them high and powerful positions. If they just left like this, when these officials wake up, they might start messing around.
Therefore, it is better to eradicate the weeds and commit suicide!
And after all this was completed, the entire historical slice began to rumble and shake.
Everything in the historical slice began to reverse quickly, and then moved forward again.
The players saw the real history, the grief and indignation of Han Fuyue's unjust death, and the triumph of Qin Huizhi, but soon, the historical trend that the players played was revealed in front of everyone.
And as General Han Fuyue, whom the players supported, led his elite Qi army deep into Mobei to attack the northern barbarians, those two sentences emerged in their minds involuntarily.
Thirty years of fame and dust.
Eight thousand miles of clouds and moon!
Lines of system prompts appeared in everyone's sight.
[Ultimate Trial: Eight Thousand Miles Road Yunheyue]
【Clearance!】
[The slice of history occupied by demons has been conquered!]
【But the battle is not over yet.】
[The barriers of this historical slice have been broken, and the power of the Orderer can already penetrate into this slice, but the demon will not hand over control of this historical slice so easily.]
