Boom boom boom...
"The gun roared", gunpowder smoke filled the battlefield, and the stone balls were shot out in waves. Most of them were shot too high. There were only two or three in each round, or even one "ball" (previously written ten There are too many to write) and hit the East Fort of Jiahe Fort. And it had no effect. The "ball" was either bounced away or "eaten" by the castle, but nothing happened to the castle.
This shocked Wanyan Xianbao and Wanyan Huonv who were standing behind and watching.
Even the iron plate may not be able to hold the 10-pound stone pellets when they are sprayed out from a large tube, but these short forts piled with earth bags are placed next to each other and it seems like nothing is wrong!
Did someone cast a spell on this bunkhouse, or was there something wrong with it?
After watching for a while, Wanyan Huonu lost her patience and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that our big barrels can't attack the Song Dynasty Dwarf Fort. How about letting the infantry attack? First, take the fortress on the east bank of the Yang River. Just leave the one on the west bank to surround and lure Zhao Kai to send troops."
Wanyan Xianbao nodded, but he was still a little uneasy... This feeling is not good!
Xie Bao thought for a while, "This short fort looks easy to climb, but you have to be careful with the Song Dynasty's big canisters that spray small balls... I don't know how many Song people put on that short fort." A tube?"
"It's not much," Wanyan Huonu said with a smile, "If you don't count the side facing the Sheep River, this short fort is divided into three sides. Even if there are thirty tubes in total, this side is only ten A barrel, even if it is a ten-pound barrel, how many rounds of shotgun can be fired? We risked three or two thousand people and stepped on the corpses. Moreover, there are no pieces on the top of the short fort, and it looks pretty good from the outside. It's quite clean, it's just a trench, as long as our people get to the bottom of the city, they can rush up in one wave!"
Wanyan Xiebao asked: "Huo Nu, do you want the Han'er Army to take the lead?"
Wan Yanhuo Nu smiled and said: "Of course, who else can go? We can't let the nation go to the front and die, right?"
Wanyan Xiebao nodded and whispered: "Living girl, I'll leave it to you... You ask the Han soldiers to find more grain trucks and pile straw bags filled with soil on them. Pushing the small balls in front to block the Song people, they reached the edge of the trench and filled the trench with straw bags.
In addition, another three thousand hard-line soldiers will be deployed to follow the Han'er Army. As long as they clear the way to the city, let the hard-line army kill them! "
"Okay!" Wanyan Huonu patted her chest, "Put it on me. Your Majesty, just watch!"
The method Wanyan Xiebao mentioned was actually not something he had just thought of, but a method he had figured out at Shanhaikou to deal with the Song Army's artillery team.
When they were at Baigou River last time, Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Xiebao suffered a big loss from the Song Army's artillery, especially the Song Army's "small ball" shotguns, which really wiped out a large area!
So after retreating to Shanhaikou, Wanyan Zongbi, Wanyan Xiebao, and Wanyan Huonv began to use their brains to engage in "research and development."
And the results of their "research and development" are the eight-liang camel tube that can also fight "small balls" and the straw bag cart specially designed to deal with "small balls"!
This time, the Han soldiers who followed Wanyan Xiebao to besiege Jiahe Fort brought many empty carts and straw bags with them.
While the drum team was busy working, the civil servants held by the Han'er Army had already filled the straw bags with soil and set them up one by one on the cart.
The carts piled with straw bags were already lined up in front of the Jinbing formation, and behind the convoy stood many civil servants who had just finished their hard work - they were the ones who had just dug soil to fill the bags and piled up the straw bags one by one.
These people are all Han people in the Yan area, and many of them are descendants of the so-called big families in the Yan area... The Yan area has been plagued by wars since the Xuanhe Northern Expedition in the Song Dynasty. A young man.
But why do the Jin people care what kind of rich family you are? They were still recruited as civil servants. Especially those descendants of the side branches are no different from ordinary farmers now, they are dark and thin because of the torture.
When Wanyan Huonv led a group of Jurchen warriors to the front of the formation, several leaders of the Han'er Army were standing on the cart, shouting at the civil servants below.
"Who is coming with me? If you join the army, you will have two meals a day! When we return to Yanjing, everyone will be divided into a village!"
"He has already reached this point, why would he care about his life? In troubled times, shouldn't he be rich and powerful?"
Of course, the Han'er Army was supported by the Han people. After losing Yanjing and Hebei, it became increasingly difficult to replenish the Han'er Army.
If all the people below are gone, of course the officers will not be able to continue their work.
So before the war started, these officials did not forget to kill people.
Pulling one is one!
The Yandi Han'er, who had been extremely numb from torture, just listened indifferently. Of course they knew what the leaders were planning? Wealth, wealth, and Zhuangzi are all painted cakes. It is true that you want to drag them to push carts to fill trenches!
But if they don't apply for recruitment now, when they start to attack the city later, will the Han'er army, who only bully their own people, let them go?
Wan Yanhuo Nu reined in the reins, then looked at the row of "hay bale carts" that were ready, and smiled, looking very satisfied.
Han Chang, who originally served in Wei Bo's army, was now ordered to command these Han soldiers. He saw the living girl recognizing the flag from afar, so he flew over on horseback, and when he arrived in front of the living girl, he bowed his hands and saluted on horseback.
The living girl waved her hand and said to Han Chang: "Han Wanhu, the king has given the order. It's your turn to send the Han'er army...His Royal Highness King Fu has said that he must rush forward in one go, even if he sacrifices thousands of weapons. Even if you step on corpses with your life, you still have to take down that short fort! Are you sure?"
"Yes!" Han Chang clapped his chest and turned a little blue. He glanced at the low bastion and gritted his teeth and said, "My Yutian Han family and the Zhao family are incompatible... Today's battle, If our Han army fails, we will become benevolent!"
He was so energetic!
It's not because of what happened to his Yutian Han family by Zhao Kai (Yutian Han won't recover, but it hasn't been wiped out yet), but because he has to clear up the suspicion of surrendering to the Song Dynasty - there was a news from Yanjing a while ago The news said that Zhao Kai adopted Yaoshi Guo's daughter as his concubine and buried Yaoshi Guo who was poisoned by Cai Jing in a grand ceremony!
Now Guo Anguo and Cai Jing's grandsons in Haiyang County were all unlucky - Guo Anguo was unlucky because he was the son of Guo Yaoshi, and Cai Jing's grandsons were unlucky because Cai Jing killed Guo Yaoshi. ! Two groups of people were beheaded together... In short, it is better to kill by mistake than to put them in the wrong place!
Under such circumstances, Han Chang and Liu Xiao, the leaders of the Han'er Army, were of course in danger and everyone was frightened. Yutian Han and Wanping Liu are both wealthy families, so it is inevitable that some people will side with Zhao Kai and Yelu Dashi!
"Okay! I'll leave it to you!" Wan Yan Huo Nu said with a smile, "A certain family will hold the battle for you!"
As she spoke, the living girl once again raised her whip and spurred her horse, galloping behind Han'er's army to summon the hard-armored soldiers to supervise the charge.
Han Chang's face turned a little blue again, and he said loudly to his left and right: "Listen carefully, if you become a golden soldier, don't be afraid of death... Let me lead the team to climb the city. Who can If you want to delay progress, don’t blame me for turning against you!"
Han Chang's subordinates, big and small, had no choice but to respond with a bang, and then dispersed to urge the soldiers below to form a team to push the cart and attack forward.
...
The sound of drums, trumpets, and shouts of death echoed throughout the fields on the east bank of the Yang River.
While Wanyan Xiebao arranged for Wanyan Huonv to command 13,400 Han troops and hard troops to carry out the main attack, he also did not forget to arrange feint attacks in the other two directions.
In the first wave alone, Xiebao dispatched 24,000 to 5,000 people, approaching from the northeast, east, and southeast sides of Yanghe Jiahe Fort. The momentum was astonishing!
However, Xianbao's main attack direction is still very obvious!
More than a hundred "straw bags" lined up in a long row, covering the infantry behind them, and rumbled forward.
Meng Lin stood on the northeast wall, crouching behind a crenel, staring at the battlefield in front of him. He was surrounded by messengers, waiting for him to give the order to bombard.
There are three triangular bastions on each side of the six-sided twelve-sided bastion, two of which are located at the six corners of the core fort and are shared with the other two sides.
Theoretically, up to 12 long-barreled cannons can fire in one direction!
Now these 12 long-barreled cannons have taken off their camouflage and been filled with solid bullets. Their black muzzles are all aimed at the hundreds of "straw trucks" that are slowly advancing in front.
Meng Lin knew that the straw bales on these straw bale trucks were strong enough to withstand shotgun blasts, but they certainly could not withstand 5kg or 10kg solid bullets.
However, the accuracy of the smoothbore cannon against moving targets is also quite impressive... It's not that it can't hit, but it's that you don't know what it will hit at all?
The dark soldiers behind the straw truck will definitely be defeated, but there are too many golden soldiers... It should be more than 10,000, maybe 14,000 or 5,000? How many can be killed by firing solid ammunition from 12 cannons?
But those vehicles that make up the front line are difficult to hit.
Seeing these "haybag carts" getting closer and closer, already within 200 steps of the Song Army's cannons, Meng Lin took a deep breath and finally gave the order: "All artillery, fire freely!"
Following his order, a huge fiery red flag was erected on the city wall where he was, fluttering in the wind!
The artillerymen of the Song Army, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, then sent the match ropes wrapped around the short guns into the cannon's fire door.
As columns of flames and smoke rose up, twelve iron bullets were blasted out of the muzzle by the power of gunpowder explosion, and then roared towards the dense Jin Han'er army behind the "hay bag truck".
Just watch the black dots fall into the crowd at extremely fast speeds, then jump up suddenly, and then fly forward at a height of almost one person. Wherever they pass, there is a "corridor of flesh and blood" !
But the "straw bag truck" is still moving forward! '
The Han soldiers behind the "straw truck" also endured the death that could come at any time and the screams and roars that kept ringing in their ears, and moved forward with their heads covered.
What's ahead is just a bunker, can it still eat people? As long as they rush to the castle, there is no reason why they can't defeat it... And behind them, there are three thousand hard-working Japanese soldiers who kill without blinking an eye!
So the way to survive is ahead!
