Chapter 89 Zhongfu

As the gun position was set up, the commander gave the command, and the red flag was waving. The gunners on the gun position loaded the shells, pulled down the cables and bounced away suddenly. The dark shells flew towards the city and landed accurately everywhere on the city.

"Bang……"

A loud bang sounded, the sand and rocks broke, and the mountains and rivers changed color.

Not only was the Jin soldiers on the city wall scared by the loud noise and looked deserted, but even the Song soldiers behind the artillery road also changed their faces.

Yao Rui and others were also confused and rushed to Guo Hao and asked, "Master, what is this?"

Before he finished speaking, another round of artillery bombardment began. After the loud bang, everyone felt their ears rumbling and they could no longer listen to the words.

Guo Hao waved his hand and ordered everyone to retreat, but just focused on the situation at the city wall. Lu Yongzhong and others behind him were also focused on the city wall, and there were people holding this book and recording it quickly.

After a long time, the cannon stopped bombarding. Everyone looked at the city wall again, but they saw thick smoke rolling, and they saw that they would not invite him.

Yao Rui's ears were buzzing, and he recovered so quickly that he hurried to Guo Hao and asked again: "Master, why is this gun so loud?"

Guo Hao didn't know the power of this cannon in advance, so it was not easy to have a chance at this time. He barely calmed down and replied to Yao Duan: "It's easy to say it. The cannon was originally a rock throwing. His Majesty had a sudden idea a while ago and ordered the craftsmen to make a little change to the enemy of ten thousand people, calculate the lead time, and then use the cannon to fire the enemy of ten thousand people. In this way, the enemy of ten thousand people could only be a powerful weapon to defend the city, but now it can turn defense into offense!"

Yao Rui and others were dumbfounded. The idea of ​​using ten thousand enemies as shells was really incredible, and it was also a pity that the emperor thought of it.

In fact, the Song Dynasty firearms have already begun to be used.

Ten thousand enemies, artillery, and rockets were all the initial applications of ground firearms. More than a hundred years later, the army in the early Ming Dynasty had the configuration of the Shenji Camp and began to use muskets in large quantities. However, at this time, the development and utilization of firearms was time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it could not highlight the interests, so the development was not fast. Using ten thousand enemies to defend the city as shells was just a very simple way of thinking. No one except Zhao Huan thought of it.

Everyone waited for the dust to settle down and went to see the city. But they saw a row of Jin soldiers standing sparsely. Many city plates were damaged, and cork straw was placed on them everywhere in the city tower. Although the enemy who had thrown them over was terrifying, it seemed that the damage was not very big.

Lu Yongzhong frowned, and without waiting for Guo Hao and others to agree, he summoned the general of the artillery team to come and asked: "How much fire is it, how much damage is ahead?"

"Sir, I have killed more than 150 people in total. I will only see that dozens of people were killed and injured, and more than ten city plates were damaged. The city tomb ridge was slightly damaged. The situation was not serious."

Lu Yongzhong shook his head and smiled bitterly. It took half a year for these more than one million enemies to redesign the amount of gunpowder ingredients, which caused the damage. I was afraid that it would be better to throw stones.

Thinking of the emperor's instructions before leaving, I felt bitter.

Guo Hao knew the bottom of the situation and stepped forward to comfort him: "The enemy guards are experienced. They are covered with chaff bags everywhere on the top of the Koulou city. Ten thousand people cannot win the enemy, and even if they throw stones, they cannot win."

Lu Yongzhong nodded and said, "Yes, that's true."

The other generals did not understand the meaning of the two, and they also interrogated: "Although there was no damage and no damage, the momentum was terrifying. If they continued to fight, the enemy would be scared to death."

Guo Hao knew that more than one million enemies had taken half a year to achieve the goal, and now there were no thousands of shells available. He immediately ordered: "Send the goose cart forward, the army is behind, and the two armies work together to attack the city."

He was ordered to order him. First, he followed the death warriors from the dead camp and used wooden sandbags to fill the moat outside the city. Under the cover of giant shields and tens of thousands of crossbows, they fought to the death and quickly threw bags of sandbags and wooden strips into the moat. The Jin soldiers at the top of the city recovered and began to shoot the Song army who filled the river with strong attack arrows.

The arrows were as rained as the Song Bing fell to the ground, but the Song soldiers were many, and there were more than a dozen crossbows to cover them. Under the heavy arrows, even if there were heavy shields on the top of the city, as long as they hit the target, the person who was in charge would be able to avoid heavy arrows. While the Liu Bing wanted to avoid heavy arrows, he was a little powerless to shoot the Song soldiers.

When the moat was barely filled, drums were heard in the Song army formation, and teams of Song army advanced like walls, with cave chariots and goose chariots in front, sword chariots and crossbows behind, and tens of thousands of people rushed towards the thin and short walls of Taiyuan City like a red ocean.

As the Song army became closer and closer, the Jin soldiers and Han soldiers on the top of the city also went to the city. The horns and arrows were like rain. The closer the Song army was, the rain of arrows on the top of the city became denser. With the sound of orders, the buzzing arrows broke through the air was endless. The dense arrows made people feel that the sky was damaged.

Under the arrow, a creaking sound came from the cave car and the goose cart were getting closer. One was a large chariot loaded with Song army crossbowmen and sword player. Because the cave has many people, it was named after the cave cart. The wooden four-wheeled outsourcing Yisie was the most hard. However, the cart carried more than ten people, and the people pushing the cart were also covered by the wooden boards on the cart. Even if the arrows were like rain, it could not harm the Song soldiers inside the cart.

After the hole car, there was another goose car. In addition to the lower part of the same as the hole car, there was also a cloud ladder at the upper part of the goose car. While walking, the crossbowmen in the iron hole below kept shooting arrows upwards. The soldiers climbed the city immediately followed the car and were about to climb up the city as soon as the ladder was on the car and quickly climbed up the city.

At this time, not only did the Song soldiers attacking the city under the city, but also watched the enemy situation far behind the formation and felt that the city was about to break out.

If you can have a bird's eye view of the ground, you will be able to see what a spectacular image this is.

The swords, cards, spears, spears, like forests, and seas. The crowded and distinctively dressed in the Song army's infantry formation, which was as thick as iron, suffered almost no losses, and directly crossed the trench and pushed it under the city.

The cave carts, goose carts, and swords are made into walls. Although arrows are like rain, they have very few killings. Under the attack of Song soldiers under the city, the Jin soldiers at the top of the city were obviously insufficient in morale, and the rain of arrows was sparse, gradually becoming soft and weak. Even the sound of drums at the top of the city was dull and weakened a lot.

"Our army will surely climb the city and win!"

Although Lu Yongzhong was a plan by the Privy Council, he was in the Pudong Mansion and often visited the battle formation in person. When he saw the situation at the city, he saw dozens of goose cars approaching the city wall. Once so many goose cars were forced to the city, the ladder on the car was placed at the city head, and thousands of soldiers would quickly climb up the city. With the number of Jin soldiers and Han soldiers on the city head, it was difficult to deal with the archers in the cave cars and goose cars under the city. How could he resist the Song soldiers who were rushing to swarm?

"Not necessarily. I think something is wrong."

As soon as Lu Yongzhong finished speaking, Zhang Jun shook his head and said, "The situation is wrong."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Xian couldn't help but be furious. He was about to accuse him of shaking his morale, but Guo Hao also said: "When I tried yesterday, the enemy was overreacting, but he was actually very organized. It was the master of the general. Today, the attack on the city was so smooth, I'm afraid something was wrong."

He pondered and said, "Let's see his backup."

The Song army under the city naturally didn't know that the situation was wrong among the main generals. The highest-ranking officer commanding under the city was just the first-level general who commanded three thousand people. When the generals saw that they were about to reach the city, they were all very happy. The military orders were frequently put on, and the red flags were waving, and the drums became more and more dense. Tens of thousands of Song soldiers under the city shouted together, and the sound of their voices shook the sky, which shocked the Jin soldiers in the city.

The commander of the battalion, Yang Zhi, was originally a so-called giant bandit. He followed Song Jiang across the capital and Jingdong area. Thirty-six people were rampant for a while, and the officers and soldiers had no choice but to be defeated by the prefect of Haizhou Zhang Shuye, surrendered and recruited. After he became a junior school in the Western Army, he bravely fought and accumulated merits and took the position of commander.

Yang Zhi naturally didn't know that in later generations, some people used their own stories to make a brief change. In the name of Yang Zhi, they wrote a story about a hero named Qingwei beast in Liangshan. At this moment, they only knew that there was hope of breaking the city. He was used to being brave. After leading his troops to break the city, they saw that there was a pointed wooden fence of more than one person outside the city wall. The cave cart and the goose cart could not go forward for a moment. They felt uneasy. Seeing that their subordinates were hesitant, they couldn't help but say angrily: "If you cut it, then push it, you will die? Go up and knock down these wooden fences."

Under his strict order, many soldiers got out of the chariot and began to push and try their best to open the wooden fences that were blocking the city wall. At this moment, they suddenly heard that Song Bing behind them kept screaming. Although Yang Zhi was just an ordinary middle-level officer, he knew that things had changed at this time. He hurriedly looked back and saw that thick smoke rose up on the moat a hundred meters behind him, dispersing the Song Bing who had caught up in the steady stream. In the blink of an eye, there were fires everywhere in the original moat. The wooden straw used by Song Bing to fill the ditch was somehow ignited.

"Get back quickly!"

Different from many officers who also came to the city, Yang Zhi was full of faces and knew that the enemy dug tunnels under the moat, and then lit the wooden straws that filled the ditch to separate the Song soldiers. At this time, most of the Song soldiers who actually attacked the city were cave cars and goose cars, and a small number of infantry carried ladders on their shoulders to prepare. At this time, the Jin soldiers in the city must have the next step.

How to retreat without a station is the best choice.

Yang Zhi's troops retreated first and saw that he was like this, but the other commanders at all levels were hesitant. The formation did not send a retreat order. At this time, the retreat was against the military order. Although everyone knew that retreating was better, they did not dare to act as decisive as Yang Zhi.

After a while, the scenery on the city wall was different from what it was just now.

The morale of the Jin soldiers who were still in devastated just now was greatly boosted, and the arrows on the city were densely rained, and the prepared stones and crosses were desperately trapped under the city and threw them down.

Yang Zhi was sweating profusely. While urging all soldiers to get off the car, he ordered his subordinates to form a team to prepare to fight against the Jin soldiers who were leaving the city.

He knew in his heart that there were many Song soldiers but few Jin soldiers, so it didn't matter if there was a small loss in such consumption. It was not easy to build these chariots, and it would be a huge loss to lose one.

As expected, as he expected, the city gate behind him opened wide with the sound of horns, and a wave of Jin soldiers and cavalry roared out, with a flash of sword light, and rushed towards the Song soldiers.

At this moment, behind the Song army formation, the sound of gold clamoring with rapid orders to retreat finally rang out.
