At the foot of Tongzhou City, Wang Xiaolie looked at the city wall and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Since the Jin army directly attacked the pass, Tongzhou has not been repaired, and there are still a few semi-ruined places on the city wall. The puppet troops on the city wall are somewhat chaotic. There are many people, but the organization is very chaotic. Some people have nothing to do, and some

People dare not express their anger.

Shao Xing on the side was commanding and adjusting the artillery. Shao Xing did not participate in the Battle of Xijing. The artillery was sent out but has not been used yet.

After a long time, Shao Xing came to Wang Xiaolie and said, "Xuanfu, the cannon is ready."

Wang Xiaolie asked: "Why does it take so long?"

Shao Xing said: "There is no way. Many of the cannons were damaged during the long-distance transportation to Hezhongfu. The gun mount worked well for the first time, but it was easy to break after walking on the road a lot. I heard from Cao Zhiyan's people that they

The cannons are more damaged. And it’s not just the gun mounts that are prone to damage. The more cannons are fired, the more the barrels are exploded.”

Wang Xiaolie sighed: "A new weapon must be actually used before we know what its faults are. When we were in Dengzhou, we originally thought that we had tested it many times and the artillery was very mature. It could be used in actual combat.

Only then did I realize that there were many flaws. For those that were used a lot in real wars, such as the artillery regiment of the Chinese Army, 70% of the cannons were broken. It doesn’t matter. If there are flaws, just correct them.”

After finishing speaking, Wang Xiaolie pointed to a place where half of the city wall collapsed and said: "The wall at that place collapsed. But after looking at it for a while, I found that the intact city wall below was very strong and not suitable for shelling.

It's not far there. Look, although the other part has not collapsed, the bottom part has become loose. You order the artillery to aim at that place."

Shao Xing took out his telescope, looked at it for a while, and declared yes.

As the sun rose, Zhao Bin stood on the city wall and could already clearly see the Song army outside. The flags did not lie. These troops did come from Hezhong Prefecture, which shocked Zhao Bin. Seeing the orderly formation of the Song army, he sent troops out of the city to harass

Unable to make up his mind, Zhao Bin hesitated.

The so-called defense of the city does not mean that there is really no way. No one will hide in the city and not go out. If you do not go out of the city, you have given up the initiative in the war and can only be attacked by the enemy. Whether to fight or not is the enemy's final decision. Normally

The method should be to look for the enemy's openings in the city and constantly go out to harass them. Even if only a few dozen people come out of the city to attack, it will cause great damage to the enemy.

At this moment, Deputy Yuying pointed at the Song army outside the city and said: "Zhizhou, what is that? I heard that the Song army had a kind of cannon during the First World War in Shaanzhou, which was extremely powerful. One cannon blocked the city gate, and one person

You can't get out either. Moreover, this cannon is so powerful that once it is fired, the city wall will collapse. Is that the cannon in front of you?"

Zhao Bin looked intently. He saw a row of ten carts not far outside the city. Each cart was pulling a large copper pipe, facing the city wall. A fire was lit next to the cart, and an iron bar was stretched out.

I don't know what to do in the fire.

I had seen a lot of stone cannons, but Zhao Bin had never seen cannons. Seeing these strange things, I felt hesitant for a while.

Suddenly, a soldier next to the artillery suddenly raised the small flag in his hand and slammed it down. At the same time, he shouted: "Let go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers beside the cannon took out a red-hot iron bar and inserted it into the cannon.

You can see with the naked eye that the iron bullets came out of the muzzle, they seemed to fly very fast, but they hit the city wall all of a sudden. I felt that the mountain suddenly shook under my feet, and a section of the city wall collapsed. Zhao Bin was so frightened that he was out of his mind.

What to do.

The artillerymen outside the city inserted iron bars into the fire, while the artillerymen on the other side quickly loaded gunpowder and iron bullets.

Zhao Bin stood on the city wall, looking stupidly outside the city. Smoke rose from the cannons, and for a moment he could see the lake. Soon, the smell of gunpowder smoke also came from the top of the city.

Before Zhao Bin could react, the soldiers under his command raised the flag again and slammed it down.

This time, Zhao Bin learned his lesson and hurriedly hid under the parapet in front when he saw the artillery projectile coming out.

As the ground on the city wall shook, a section of the city wall fell down, and the residences inside were clearly visible.

Shao Xing said: "Xuanfu, do you want to rush into the city?"

Wang Xiaoxing said: "Wait a minute. Tongzhou City is in such a bad situation, fire a few more cannons. The gap will be larger to make it easier to attack the city."

Shao Xing said yes and ordered the artillery to aim around the collapsed city wall and continue firing.

Because artillery did not appear, the city walls of this era were different from the city walls of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in later generations. They were made of earth, without bricks on the outside, and were not strong. Under normal circumstances, the city wall could be destroyed by firing a few cannons. Tongzhou City Wall

It was much dilapidated and could not withstand artillery bombardment. Not long after, most of the east wall collapsed.

Standing on the city tower, Zhao Bin felt like the world was spinning, and he didn't know what to do for a moment. The city wall couldn't stop the Song army, what should he do? Fight with the Song army? His subordinates really didn't have the courage. Surrender? Then

How can this be done?

Wang Xiaolie looked at the sun in the east, and it had already jumped into the air. The weather at the end of May was already a bit hot. He said to Shao Xing, who was eager to try: "Half of the city wall has collapsed. No need to wait, rush into Tongzhou City!"

Shao Xing sang the promise loudly and ordered the handsome flag behind him to point directly at Tongzhou City.

Xue Cheng, who was in the front army, did not hesitate, pulled out his mace, gave a sharp shout, and led his men towards the gap in the city wall to kill.

The Haogou outside had long been filled in, and the Song army was unstoppable and marched into Tongzhou in a neat formation.

When attacking, Wang Xiaoxiao's army clearly knows which army will be the main attacker, which army will be the secondary attacker, which army will be the auxiliary, and which army will be the reinforcement. The so-called war plan means that each army will be assigned tasks.

Commanders know exactly what to do in war.

War missions are not unchangeable. When a commander discovers a fighter plane, he can change the plan, and even does not need to ask his superiors for instructions when it is too late. However, as long as the mission is not carried out as planned, the commander must bear responsibility. Whether it is merit or demerit depends on the superior commander.

Ministry decision.

When the Song Army fought in the past, there was often confusion on the battlefield. One army rushed out, while the other armies were doing nothing. A certain part was attacked by the enemy in a concentrated manner, and other armies did not rescue. The commander was often the first to rush forward, but instead

The entire army lost its command. Wang Xiaolie summed up his experience and lessons and was very strict about battlefield command. The important thing that junior officers learned in the military academy was battlefield command.

The puppet troops in the city were already scared to death. When they saw the Song army rushing into the city, they rushed towards the west gate of the city with all their strength.

Wang Xiaolie said to Shao Xing: "God is kind and orders our people not to pursue them. If you are lucky enough to escape Luoshui, let them go. The generals must not let go of the puppet troops who surrender to the enemy.

There is no need to kill all the soldiers. If the superiors surrender, what will happen to the soldiers below?"

Shao Xing said yes.

Tongzhou is located at the bend of Luoshui River, facing the river to the west, north and south. Even if they escape from Tongzhou City, how many people can really escape?
