Chapter 934 The Hongzhou people are still chasing me!
To Sanmiao, Hongzhou was on the passive defensive side. They expected that the people of Hongzhou would rely on the defensive advantages of Chongyong Pass to resist, but what caught them off guard was that the gate opened.
From Fuqianyuan to Dongting Lake, you have to pass through Zhenling Mountain and Feishaquan. After leaving Chongyong, you will see a vast sky and high mountains and continuous mountains and fields.
In this spring breeze, under that thunder, there is no rain in the sky.
Trees are burning in the wind and flames, the dust and water droplets on the ground are beating wildly, countless black shadows trample on the soil, green smoke and beacon fire rush into the sky, that is the thunder from the sky turning into human form and swimming freely on the earth!
When a soldier of Sanmiao saw the beacon rising not far away from the front line Tuguan, what followed closely was two thunder blasts that shook the heaven and earth!
The shouts were like a wave, thunder struck the ground, the mountains shook, and even the sun in the sky suddenly shone brightly. Huge depressions were left on the rammed-earth city walls, and people appeared all over the mountains and plains in the distance!
Hongzhou people are coming!
The Sanmiao warriors were frightened. The Sanmiao warriors who gathered quickly bent their bows and drew arrows, but the Hongzhou people moved faster!
The first battle against Sanmiao was to quickly break through these loess walls and destroy the civil fortifications they built. However, in this era, even the range of two cast-iron cannons could not reach one kilometer, so the two cannons were hung with
Using rotten grass and other camouflage, they fired two shots at a very close distance, but there was no accuracy at all.
However, the Sanmiao people were already in great panic!
Following that, the weapon with the longest range, the bed crossbow, began to unleash its power. At a distance of 500 meters, the huge crossbow arrows tore through the wind and clouds, and heavily chiseled into those thick earth walls!
Dust is filling the air and yellow smoke is rising everywhere!
Sanmiao's warrior legion quickly gathered, and shouts were heard everywhere in the mountains and fields. The sound of the horn was heavy and distant. The soldiers of Hongzhou used the armored army as their forward shield. They pushed the shield cart, which was covered with thick animal skins.
In addition, a woven hemp grid and Hongzhou’s special black technology are added.
This kind of black technology can only be made with paper and plastic!
Cover the wooden grid with paper, brush melted plastic on the paper, repeat this several times, and what you get is "carbon resin"!
The Miao people resisted the pressure of crossbows and fired bows and arrows to fight back. However, in front of the paper shield carts, these bows and arrows were unable to break through the defenses. The loess walls and simple earthen cities at the front were not equipped with Helian's huge ballistae, so the Miao people
It quickly lost its repressive power!
Taking advantage of this gap, the soldiers of Hongzhou carried light paper shields on their bodies and pushed forward at high speed under the charge of the shield cart!
“The distance has reached seventy-five feet! (two hundred and fifty meters)!”
See the young man named Yu Fu shouting orders and using a strange horn to convey the message!
“The Yulin Army, suppress with bows and arrows!”
There were people holding strange flags around, conveying the news. The soldiers of the Yulin Army stepped forward, bent their bows and set arrows. In an instant, thousands of arrows were thrown out, and they were all shot out. The arrow feathers formed a suppression net in advance, and Sanmiao's
The soldiers hid behind cover to avoid bows and arrows, while the sound continued to come from the horns.
Artillery advance!
“The distance is sixty feet! (two hundred meters)!”
“Crossbowman!”
After the archers advance, the rain of arrows is followed by a salvo of crossbow arrows! From long range to medium range, the crossbow arrows reach its effective killing range, and the general push of the crossbow arrows roars, and the second wave of suppression is formed in an instant!
The artillery continues to advance!
“Enter the effective range of artillery!”
“The distance has been shortened to forty-five feet! (One hundred and fifty meters!)”
“Keep pushing!”
“The third wave of suppression! The fourth legion, the fifth legion!”
After the crossbows were fired, large siege equipment appeared from behind, and the catapults threw flying stones, forming a third wave of suppression. At this distance, other legions in Hongzhou could also use bows and arrows, even those who were not good at archery.
Ordinary regiments have no problem launching missiles at a distance of more than 200 meters.
“The distance is within forty-five feet! (Within one hundred and fifty meters)!”
“Prepare the thunder cannon!”
Immediately afterwards, there was a sound, and bright light erupted from the large black barrels in the first row opposite.
The explosive packet of yellow gunpowder flew a distance of 150 meters and landed at the foot of Sanmiao's earth city.
With the earth-shattering explosion, these crude earth city walls without perfect rammed earth technology, like Aoshan in the ancient myth that was washed away by the Yellow River, collapsed before the flying fire meteors that spanned thousands of years!
From the beginning of the war to the destruction of the city, it took less than a moment!
Landslides and cities fell, and smoke rose into the sky. Sanmiao's warriors stood up from the mud and dust, and followed closely, charging out of the thick smoke and dust on the opposite side, fierce iron armor! These monsters made of steel, with power beyond the understanding of the people of this era,
The way of appearance came on stage. The brave warrior of Sanmiao picked up the copper sword and slashed at it, but was backhanded by the armored warrior, cutting the sword and hand into two pieces!
The arm fell to the ground, still holding his own sword in the palm. The palm covered with iron armor and leather was not warm. The huge five fingers grabbed the head of the Sanmiao warrior, and then knocked him away in one fell swoop!
The two giant countries in this world finally collided with each other. Sanmiao was brave, but there was a difference between leather armor and iron armor after all. Light armor should not have a head-on confrontation with heavy armor, but this was all due to the sudden change of Hongzhou people.
Attack and deliberate guidance.
The shield in the hand is as useless as mud under the steel weapon. After the shield is cracked, the palm of the hand is often cut. If you are lucky, you can leave all the fingers, but most of them will lose a few fingers.
The sword swung down.
“He who surrenders will never die!”
The voices of the people of Hongzhou came out from the big horns, and the people of Hongzhou launched a powerful propaganda, saying that killing was not the main purpose, but because Huandou encouraged the Jinyun family, Wu Luo Zhongli Mountain, Emperor Nu Ze, and the three
Miao, Huandou asked you to unite to deal with Hongzhou just to fulfill his own ambition!
The voices of the Hongzhou people also reached the ears of the Sanmiao warriors.
"Huandou is the greatest traitor in the world. He was despised by the Emperor of Heaven and was expelled. Hongzhou was ordered by the Emperor to attack Sanmiao. It was to kill Huandou and not to target the Miao people. All people in the world are one family.
, this matter is just to kill the evil person next to Mr. Miao!"
The artillery roared loudly, and the simple earthen bunkers collapsed everywhere. Between the mountains and the fields, the rivers were shaken by the turbulent water waves. Finally, some of Sanmiao's soldiers could not bear the pressure and threw away their weapons. The two thousand Miao soldiers who were building the advance position in front
Most of the people surrendered on the spot!
Of course, some people ran away.
“Don’t stop, move forward, move forward! The first wave must hit Yangdi Mountain directly! Don’t give Sanmiao a chance to organize resistance, we must hit Feishaquan at the minimum cost!”
The torrent of iron armor never stopped. The Miao people who had just surrendered were immediately reorganized, and a special leader (Azai) came over to explain to them the occurrence of the war and why they were fighting.
At the same time, Emperor Fangxun and the princes followed the rear army and saw the entire process of Hongzhou from the beginning of the attack to the destruction of the city.
They were so shocked that they could not speak.
More than 800 years have passed since Shennong built the city. The stone city can protect a country, and even the earth city can effectively resist the invasion of wild beasts and enemies. But now, there are some reasons for the collapse of the Sanmiao earth city.
It’s because the rammed earth technology is incomplete (not Sanhe soil), but there are bigger factors involved.
Di Fangxun could not help but speak to the princes:
Everyone, I, Tao Tang, will soon receive a new batch of Hongzhou equipment!
Hongzhou’s legion surged forward like a flood, and when the scattered Sanmiao warriors who had fled before turned around, they could still hear the deafening footsteps!
His mother’s fault! The Hongzhou people are still chasing me!
