"We have gunpowder!" Song Jirong sneered.
The 10,000 defenders in Yunzhou City, and the ability to defend to this day has a lot to do with Song Jirong's success. Unlike Zhang Yu's strategy when he was in Jincheng, when Zhang Yu faced Sass' attack, he wanted to wait for reinforcements to go north. Therefore, he scattered his troops and horses in various cities in order to seek perfection and gain more time to guard Jincheng and those food and supplies. But Song Jirong is different. Although there are 20,000 Shatuo people in Niupi Pass in the north of Yunzhou, he never trusted those Hu people.
From the beginning, he had no intention of guarding the outer city of Yunzhou. After resisting the Hu vanguard for a while and successfully withdrew all the people and materials from the outer city into Datong, Song Jirong ordered to give up Zhucheng and retreat to Yunzhou. At the same time, he recruited a large number of people to help defend the city and divided the 10,000 Qin troops into five divisions. In the first few days, there were actually only two thousand Qin troops guarding the city, and more soldiers guarding the city were just the people. The Qin troops took turns to rest and kept their energy.
With excellent battlefield experience, Song Jirong made Yunzhou guarding as impeccable as a soup, and there were not many casualties. In addition to the large number of equipment and food in Yunzhou City, as well as the firearms and equipment they transported, the key is that Song Jirong and the generals are not comparable to those auxiliary soldiers and officers in Jincheng. Jincheng. Only Zhang Yu has rich experience in battle formations. However, in Yunzhou, there is a group of old fried dough sticks here.
Even their ten thousand soldiers were not the logistics auxiliary soldiers with low combat power in Jincheng. They were all elite united soldiers from the states. Twenty battalions and ten thousand people united with elite troops. In addition to their names, they were not weaker than combat soldiers at all. They even had three thousand light cavalry, real cavalry, rather than horse-riding infantry.
In addition to the three thousand light cavalry, they also had four reorganized artillery battalions. These were originally used by Zhang Ziyi to recover Daibei and attack important towns such as Shuozhou and Yanmen. As a result, the situation changed. Zhang Zimian hurried south, and these four artillery battalions, the artillery chariots and crossbows, gunpowder, etc. were all left in Yunzhou.
"The artillery can come out and shoot artillery!" Cui Decheng was holding a chicken leg in his mouth, and he was still eating the essence and tasteful at this time. While eating the chicken leg, he stared at the three Hu people's castle cart arrays outside the city. It can be said that these three cannon arrays are very threatening. Although the inclined walls transformed by the Qin army can weaken the lethality of the cannon arrays. However, when the enemy is attacking in a large scale, if the Qin army wants to establish a flying thunder cannon position on the city wall, it must first eliminate these three catapult positions that pose a huge threat to the flying thunder cannon position.
Get rid of the remote first!
"Let our generals bombard the three catapults formations, and then let the heavy crossbow chariot formation of the artillery battalion destroy the moving tower chariots of the Hu people, and then use the flying thunder cannon formation to deal with their archer formation!"
Song Jirong's voice was still cold and steady, and he could not hear any fluctuations.
A sharp roar of air breaking through the battlefield resounded over the battlefield.
Yelu Shilu's face changed. Damn, the Qin army's general artillery was dispatched. He knew that the full fire of the three artillery arrays would attract revenge and attack from the general artillery array.
boom.
boom.
Eight violent rumblings came out, and the entire battlefield was shaking. Then, on the three catapults, the original two hundred catapults and thousands of Hu soldiers almost disappeared. Eight huge pits appeared on the spot, followed by the corpses and fragments of the catapults. One strike almost eliminated all the catapults, and many of the remaining catapults were damaged by vibration, and some were buried directly in the soil. What's even more terrifying is that the Qin army's shells added Greek fire bullets to the shells. As a result, there were stars of Greek fire burning everywhere in that area, and burning whatever they stuck. Many Hu people who were originally shocked and those still intact catapults were scrapped under this second fire capture.
Yelu Shilu shook his head and looked at the area covered with white smoke and black fire. His face was pale. The Qin army's revenge attack effect was far beyond his expectations. His gun array was eliminated, and even if the remaining dozens were good, they would not be able to threaten for the moment. The key point was that his gunners were gone.
"Fuck!" Yelu Fenggu only took out his ears, but it was still a buzzing sound. He cursed loudly, and then shouted loudly at Yelu Shilu: "Fortunately we still have one trick, damn it."
Yelu Shilu waved with a dark face and called the commander, and shouted, "Did you see clearly the location of the eight giant cannons of the Qin people just now? They are so happy to shoot just now. This time it's our turn. Tell the gunners, and the fireballs cover them at the locations of the cannons, and the doggy god."
The commander left quickly, and after a moment, he arrived at the other end of the newly destroyed catapult formation and shouted loudly at a group of Hu people. Then, the leaders of the Hu people turned their heads and shouted a few times, and then they saw that a wave of dust was suddenly lifted up on the originally flat ground, and then a huge camouflage belt was lifted open, revealing the catapults hidden underneath. These catapults were more than the previous two hundred and taller.
This is the killer mirror used by the Hu people to deal with the general's cannons. There are 300 stone casting racks, working day and night, and then they are hidden on the battlefield and have not been taken out. Yelu Shilu is very clear about the power of the general's cannons. The biggest purpose of his previous two hundred cannons was to lure the Qin army to counterattack, and then expose their position, and they can destroy the powerful general's cannon formation.
"Have you seen the position of the Qin people's giant cannon clearly?" A tall man with blond hair and blue eyes roared at his gunners.
"See clearly."
"Very good, then I'll fight back hard and burn them all into a pile of charcoal!"
"yes!"
Swallowing!
Three hundred catapults, which were larger than the original catapult, launched a volley. They no longer only cast stone bombs, but replaced them with one hundred catapults, one hundred lit large fireballs, and one hundred of them. Although the projections were far less powerful than the Qin army, they were also very powerful. They were flying fires, that is, gunpowder tanks.
This was a long-planned counterattack, with the purpose of destroying the Qin army's eight super general artillery that deterred the entire battlefield.
With these eight giant cannons, it really poses too great a threat to the tribe army.
boom.
Rumble.
The Hu gunners were not as accurate as those of the Qin army gunners, but the cluster projection of 300 artillery vehicles still changed the color of the entire battlefield. The whistling fireballs, stone bombs, and bomb packs quickly covered the positions of the eight giant cannons, making the explosion there unrecognizable.
Cui Decheng stood on the city tower, looking back and watching, and the chicken leg bone in his mouth fell silently.
"Damn, the dog-good Hu Chou actually plays such a trick!"
Song Jirong and others were also surprised. Due to their military strength, they had not sent anyone out of the city these days, so naturally they didn't know that the Hu people actually hid such a force on the battlefield. This sudden blow really shocked everyone.
"Check the situation of the General's artillery right now!"
The artillery battalion quickly rewarded, "Five of the eight general artillery were damaged very badly, two were only slightly damaged, and one was basically nothing."
"How long will it take to fix it?"
"Those two gates need two or three hours to be light, and those five gates are severely damaged to at least several days before they can be repaired."
Cui Decheng sighed: "Fortunately, our ammunition has been strictly stored separately, otherwise, there would probably be no one left. But these Hu dogs know to hide one hand, so don't we have it? Let the artillery battalion push out all the other ten general artillery pieces. This time, we will also take all the remaining three hundred catapults. Damn, I don't believe that you can create a cannon array!"
The artillery battalion received the order and immediately implemented it.
On the Hu people's stone-treating group position, the blonde and blue-eyed man was laughing, pointing at the wisps of black smoke rising in Yunzhou City and said, "Who can defeat me when I take action!"
Before he finished speaking, a familiar whistle sounded in his ears.
His face changed, "General, how is this possible?"
In an instant, several 300-pound heavy bullets had already hit the castle chariot position. The first one did not hit the castle chariot position, but fell into the shield formation guarding the castle chariot formation. Suddenly, with a loud thunder, fire lights soaring into the sky, flesh and blood flying, screaming in succession, and half of the shield formation was directly smashed.
Immediately afterwards, ten loud bangs came, and several heavy bombs fell from the catapult position. Suddenly, the tall catapult made of countless wood was destroyed and ruined.
The killer mirror that Yelu Shilu had prepared carefully was vulnerable and was completely destroyed again!
"This is the power of the general's cannon. It's so pleasing to the eye. Damn, it's so cool!" Cui Decheng looked at the destroyed Hu people's catapult position in the distance below the city and laughed proudly.
Song Jirong raised his eyebrows twice, and a little joy appeared on his face. He said in a deep voice: "The Hu people's catapult formation has been destroyed. Send orders to let the heavy crossbow formation open fire with all their strength. The target enemy's various tower car cloud cars will destroy them. They will never be allowed to get close to the city wall. After the general's cannon is ready, they will immediately join the battle together, and there is no need to save ammunition, load the shotgun, and divine fire bombs. I will teach these Hu boys a hard lesson."
"yes!"
"The messenger led the order and left.
"The general has an order to ask the Chongbow Camp and the General's Artillery Battalion to kill the moving turtles and the bastards hiding below!"
Chapter completed!
