Chapter 126 Siege Artillery

At the city of Haizhou, the three infantry brigades of the Liao army and one artillery brigade had already been gathered, but after the Liao army formed camps outside the city in the past two or three days, they did not immediately attack the city. This abnormal movement made the Jin soldiers of the two flags of Haizhou City even more worried. It was like waiting for the terrible silence before the trial of the doomsday. If you say you want to go, hurry up. As the attacking party, you just keep your troops still!

"The Liao army did not make any moves in the past two days, but just tentatively fired a few shots into the city. Do they want to siege?" Amin stood on the city wall and looked out of the city.

In the direction of Haizhou City to Gaizhou City, the Fu Liao army has stationed a temporary camp, and there are fences, sandbags, stone bricks and other defensive fortifications around the camp to prevent the defenders in the city from coming out.

"Your Majesty may lead troops back to Shengjing at any time. Isn't he afraid of delaying the fighter plane?" Yue Tuo, the leader of the Inlaid Red Flag, could not understand the strategy of restoring the Liao army.

At this time, they hoped that the Restoration Liao army could attack the city as they expected, at least to reassure them a little!

Chu Yun didn't want to attack the city, but he was still preparing to attack the weapons of Haizhou City! As the capital of Haizhou Guards, Haizhou City was first managed by the Ming army for a period of time, and was occupied by the Later Jin Dynasty for himself. Without heavy weapons, it was still some attacks.

The most important thing is that Chu Yun did not want to consume his troops in vain under the strong city.

"Is our food outlet unobstructed?" Chu Yun asked Yu Cheng, who was in the guard almost every day when he woke up, as if he was conditioned.

"The Fourth Infantry Brigade of the Grain Road was divided into troops to guard it. The cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty tried to plunder or two times, but they were all defeated." Yu Cheng replied.

Chu Yun walked out of the military tent and looked at Haizhou City standing on the plain from afar. He was always not very satisfied with his progress.

Wars in ancient times were too harsh. If it were put into modern times, a carpet bombing would be razed to the ground. However, in ancient times, when there were no heavy weapons, these cities were nail houses, and it was difficult to get around. Haizhou City was Shengjing, the capital of the Later Jin Dynasty. If Chu Yun bypassed Haizhou City to attack Shengjing, his food route would be cut off by the defenders of Haizhou City, so Haizhou City really had to attack.

"Military Master, why haven't we attacked the city? I'm impatient and wish I could immediately attack Haizhou City and cut off Amin and the others' heads inside to worship my dead brother's spirit in the sky." Liu Xingzuo from the Third Infantry Brigade came to the military camp of Chu Yun's First Infantry Brigade to ask for battle.

"General Liu, don't worry. When we conquer Haizhou and Shengjing one after another, let alone Amin, even Huang Taiji can be used as sacrifices for you. But we must minimize our own losses. Have the artillery of your brigade been deployed in place according to the deployment of the military headquarters?" Chu Yun asked.

"Mr. Please rest assured, everything is deployed properly. Brothers are waiting for the military commander to order the siege of the city." Liu Xingzuo said resentfully.

"It's soon, it's soon." Chu Yun looked at Haizhou City again.

The Fu Liao army stationed outside the city was not silent. At least Chu Yun was preparing traditional siege equipment such as chariots and ladders in a manner.

On the official road leading to Haizhou in Gaizhou, the Fourth Infantry Brigade specially sent a brigade of troops to transport what Chu Yun needed. This batch of supplies consisted of dozens of large carriages, and there were as many as hundreds of horses just for consignment.

"You said, what is under this white canvas? The people from the Ordnance Bureau asked us to escort them to the artillery brigade intact, and said that if something happened halfway through, we would land on the ground. It must be something important." The soldier who escorted important materials muttered halfway.

"Since it is required to be transported to the artillery brigade, it must be artillery and ammunition." said another soldier.

"The artillery brigade has hundreds of artillery pieces, and there are still some artillery pieces."

"Who knows, maybe the army leader wants the artillery battalion to flatten the enemy with artillery. Then we infantry will just kill the cannons directly, not better than if we use our lives to pile them up?"

"You are talking about it. With the treasures of artillery, we are much more at ease when fighting. Compared with artillery, the Golden Man's bows and arrows are like children playing house."

On the third day after the Liao army approached the city of Haizhou, the large number of materials transported from the Gaizhou City Ordnance Bureau finally arrived in the Liao army and handed over to Dong David of the Artillery Brigade.

"My goodness, these treasures are finally here!" David Dong was ecstatic when he saw dozens of carriages coming.

He really wanted to lift the white canvas on the carriage as soon as possible and touch the big treasure created by the Ordnance Bureau. But he thought of Chu Yun's orders to him, so he said to his personal soldiers: "Go and notify the military leader, and that is, the artillery of the Ordnance Bureau has arrived."

"The artillery from the Ordnance Bureau is here? Come and go to the artillery brigade." Chu Yun heard that the things he was looking forward to arrived, and could not help but hurriedly took his personal soldiers to the artillery brigade of David Dong.

The defenders in the artillery brigade barracks saw the army leader Chu Yun coming with the guards, and they all looked in awe. When Chu Yun entered the artillery brigade, the artillery soldiers of these artillery brigades were immediately discussed: "Look, the army leader really attaches great importance to our Liao army. All good things were arranged to our artillery brigade and came to inspect them in person."

"By the way, did you see clearly what the military commander looked like just now? I was so big just now, and I couldn't even see which military commander was..."

"Nonsense, you are still qualified to meet the military leader as a soldier? If it weren't for the military leader to come to see the artillery brigade, you might not even see the military leader's guard."

"When the army leader took people past me just now, I seemed to see the army leader laughing at me. Oh my God, I can brag about this for a year!"

Chu Yun had no intention of paying attention to the conversations of these big-headed soldiers as usual. He couldn't wait to come to the main account of the artillery brigade and saw that the commander of the artillery brigade, David, had already surrounded the carriage outside the main account with his soldiers.

"Military Master, you are here! I'm so hard to wait!" David Dong looked excited when he saw Chu Yun.

"It seems that you can't wait to see the newly produced artillery of the Ordnance Bureau, why am I not?" Chu Yun laughed.

He had previously told David Dong to notify him as soon as possible and to lift the canvas himself, otherwise Chu Yun would ask him to go to the pigpen to help the agricultural office raise pigs, so David Dong, who regards artillery as his life, should suppress the urge to check the new artillery and wait until Chu Yun arrives.

"But this is not a new type of artillery, but the caliber has become larger." Chu Yun personally lifted the white canvas on the carriage, revealing the large artillery inside.

"The twenty-four-pound siege cannon made by the twenty-four-pound ship cannon that imitated the Victory. Time was tight, so I only cast four doors, and I took them out!"
