Chapter 17 Victory in the First Battle (1)
"One, two, three, let it go!" With a call, the soldiers shouted, and the return cannon was powerful. A huge rock flew out with a wonderful curve and hit the top of the bunker, bounced far away, making a deafening sound.
The name of Hui Hui cannon is recorded in historical books, and its power is recorded in a very detailed manner. "The sound of the machine shook the heaven and earth, and it was hit by all the attacks, and it fell into the ground seven feet." In the battle of Xiangyang, a cannon hit the watchtower, "The sound is like thunder, shook the city. There are many generals who surrendered." Lu Wenhuan was frightened and surrendered.
Li Jun never expected that the power of the Huihui cannon would have reached such a level. If it weren't for seeing it with his own eyes, he would have thought that the ancients had said it was exaggerated. Li Jun stuck out his tongue and said, "Awesome, amazing." He brought the people to the fort, set up a ladder and climbed up, and took a closer look. Fortunately, there were only some white spots and no cracks. It seemed that the fort was well built. Li Jun was quite satisfied and jumped to the ground and said, "Come again, come again." When he walked to the safety area, the soldiers raised the Huihui cannon and shot him with another shot.
Gundam, who was anxious, jumped out and said, "I'll go and see." Li Jun grabbed him and said, "Don't go first, it's not too late to see after launching a hundred capsules."
Although Gundam was reluctant, he still had to give Li Jun face. He had to stop and said, "I'm so anxious."
Wen Tianxiang smiled slightly and said a very reasonable sentence: "The mind is calm, and everything is quiet. General Gao, be calm. The emperor is already holding the wise bead, what are you going to worry about?"
"What kind of wisdom beads are in my hands? In that time and space, not to mention a hundred and fifty kilograms of stones, even cannons may not be able to make a bunker. If it were the Chigfe line of defense and the Magino line of defense so easily, it would not have been around." Li Jun thought so in his heart, and said, "Lu Shan is a reward, so there is no wisdom bead, it is just that the bunker is stronger than the stone."
After finally shooting a hundred stones, Gundam rushed over first and ran much faster than a rabbit. He was not like an old man, but like a child who saw a toy. While running, he shouted: "Has it been smashed? Hey, was it smashed?"
He was running in the front, and if he knew the result, he would know first. Li Jun held back the funny thing and trotted up. Wen Tianxiang, Zhao Qian, and several generals who built the city also followed him. The crowd climbed to the top of the bunker with their hands and feet. After a closer look, there were only some white marks and nothing else.
Gundam was so happy that he hugged Wen Tianxiang, patted Wen Tianxiang on the shoulder, laughed and said, "It's done, it's done, there's no problem at all. We no longer have to worry about returning guns."
Since the Mongolian army advanced to Lin'an, the reason why the Mongolians possessed the Huihui cannon was extremely important. Every time they arrived at a place, they would have a bombardment of Huihui cannons, and there would be no city that could not be captured. Therefore, Huihui cannons have become a heart-wrenching problem for Wen Tianxiang and others, and they would have a headache when they mentioned it. The bunkers are not afraid, and there is no happier than this. Wen Tianxiang nodded and agreed: "Yes, we no longer have to have a headache for Huihui cannons. With the bunkers, Huihui cannons will have no place to use their skills. Lin'an will become a strong city that cannot be defeated." He touched Gundam and complained: "You are not gentle, and the bones almost beat you away."
Gundam was so happy that he was incoherent: "It should be, it should be." The helpless Wen Tianxiang had to give him a blank look and stop talking.
Zhao Qian and a few generals who came with him were also very happy, with an excited look on their faces. If it weren't for the presence of the sage, they would have jumped up with joy.
"It's so easy to deceive the ancients!" Li Jun sighed in his heart, and he got into the bunker. Gundam rushed to follow up, looked inside with a smile, and kept slapping the thick wall with his hands, saying, "It's so strong, so strong. I've never seen anything so strong."
This was in the eyes of Wen Tianxiang and the others, and nodded deeply in agreement.
Li Jun looked at it and it was indeed very strong and had no cracks as Gundam said. He was amazed at the wisdom of the ancients and thought that the reason why our ancestors were able to create such a brilliant civilization was not because of the gift of heaven, but because of their wisdom. Li Jun always worried that cement, a "airdrop product", would cause low quality due to insufficient industrial level in the Southern Song Dynasty. It seems that his worries were in vain.
Li Jun calculated: "A bunker can accommodate twenty soldiers, build one thousand, and there will be 20,000 people to defend the city. Without the harassment of Huihui cannons, you can rest assured. Five steel crossbows are placed in each bunker to provide fire support. Even if the Mongols attack the city, they cannot afford to intensive fire shooting. If they throw out the zha medicine bags, then the inner city will become a meat grinder and will become the tomb of the Mongols." Thinking of the benefits, Li Jun himself couldn't help but become excited.
Facts proved that Li Jun was a little happy early, and the Mongolians were not vegetarians. After a long time, Li Jun recalled his thoughts at this time and said blamingly: "Don't underestimate our ancestors at any time, they have a wise mind."
Influenced by Li Jun, Wen Tianxiang and the others couldn't help but get excited and exclaimed one after another.
Just as they were happy, a captain ran over panting and muttered a few words in Gundam's ear. Gundam's face suddenly changed. His original excitement suddenly disappeared, but he only looked unhappy and said hatefully: "Really? Didn't you lie about military affairs?"
The captain was so anxious that he stamped his feet and said, "General Gao, how dare I lie about such a big deal?"
"That's right, I'm not willing to come so quickly. We're not ready yet. If we come a few days later, our preparations will be more fully prepared." Gundam said with regret.
Li Jun smiled and said, "General Gao, did the Mongols kill to the city?"
"The emperor is wise! The vanguard of the three thousand vanguards of the Tartars have already called for war under the city." Gundam said angrily: "The Tartars are too underestimated. Even a mere three thousand people dare to come and challenge. Emperor, please allow Zhunchen to go out of the city to fight."
Li Jun took the lead and said as he walked, "Let's go and have a look. You should be satisfied. If it weren't for the rain in the north and we had bought us about twenty days, I wouldn't have time to make arrangements. I sent Zhang Shijie to Huaixi, Liu Hezi to the enemy's rear, Chen Yizhong and Lu Xiufu to go to the strategic rear, not to mention that I also made steel and made steel crossbows."
Gao Da asked quickly, and opened his mouth and asked, "Master, how did you know it's raining in the north?" He suddenly realized, slapped his forehead and said, "Look, I'm so anxious that I don't know how to turn. Although the Tartars' Huihui cannon is powerful, it's bulky and inconvenient to move. He definitely couldn't keep up with Boyan's army and was left behind. If it weren't for the heavy rain, Gaoting Mountain would have fallen ten days ago."
"It is. The Gaoting Mountain Pass is too small and the troops cannot be deployed. I wanted to send more troops. It would be in vain if I went there. Only a few casualties were added, so there were no reinforcements. General Wu Fu only had three thousand troops to block the Mongols for about twenty days. He fought very bravely. The court would be recorded." Li Jun said sadly: "Since the war started, there have been many loyal and brave generals like General Wu Fu of the Song Dynasty. They fought bravely and tenaciously. Unfortunately, the Mongols were too powerful and they all died for their country."
