"Dong dong dong..."
The urging sound of drums and drums echoed in the battlefield on the east bank of the Sheep River, breaking through the rumbling sound of artillery and the screams one after another, reaching the Dajin Han'er Army and the hard-line soldiers who were about to rush to the edge of the outer trench of the bastion. in the ears.
The morale of the Jin soldiers, who had suffered several rounds of shelling and killed or wounded one or two hundred people, suddenly rose. Han Chang, who was supervising the battle from behind, opened his voice and shouted loudly: "Kill the Song dog! Kill it!" Go back to Yanjing..."
Han Chang's slogan immediately reached everyone's heart. The echoing shouts immediately rang out, and on the battlefield, the shouts of "Kill Song Dog! Go back to Yanjing!" became louder and louder, and soon it became earth-shattering.
Yanjing...is their hometown!
Only after defeating the Song army can they fight back to their hometown!
Only when they return to their hometown can they live well...
At this moment, this group of bereaved soldiers suddenly had the illusion that they were about to win!
The fortress in front of me was so short, with no visible defenses except for artillery. Moreover, the outer wall of the fortress had a very steep slope, and the gaps between the sandbags that built the wall were so large that there was no need for a long ladder to climb up.
Now they just need to endure a few more rounds of shelling and fill the trenches with sandbags, and they will win!
"Push harder and push forward!"
"Damn it, you have to use all your strength to suck the milk!"
"You bastard, haven't you had enough to eat? Please give me more strength and push the car into the ditch for me..."
The soldiers of the Han'er Army behind the militiaman who was pushing the cart all shouted, and some of them who were more motivated simply rushed forward to help push the cart together - pushing with all their strength, without looking forward, just Just push the straw bale cart and the straw bales into the trench.
It's just that the trench in front is a bit weird. It's not straight, circular or arc-shaped, but zigzag-shaped!
The trench was dug along the edges of the twelve protruding triangular prisms of the bastion. If you look down from above, you will find that the trench forms a star shape.
If the carts were pushed directly to the edge of the trench with their heads covered and the carts were ignored, the cart pushers and the Jin soldiers following behind the carts would rush into the middle of the two triangular platforms in a daze. .
Then all of them, including those behind the straw bag truck, put themselves under the muzzles of the Song Army's 5-pound cannon and 10-pound cannon.
Even if those people who are close to the straw bale truck can rely on the straw bales to withstand the shot fired by the 5-pound cannon or the 10-pound cannon on the triangular platform facing them, they will still leak their backs to the other triangular fort. The artillery on!
There is no blind spot for shooting between the two triangular forts!
In addition, the area between the two triangular towers is a trumpet. The entrance is very large and becomes smaller as you go in... The originally relatively loose formation becomes more and more complex as it goes in. Dense.
Meng Lin had already left his command position and climbed up to a triangular tower connected to the core of the bastion.
This triangular bastion is located at the angle between the northeast and east sides of the bastion. There are no large groups of golden soldiers and straw carts on its right side, only a small number of kidnap horses running around, showing off their bluff.
So Meng Lin concentrated all the four 5-pound cannons on the triangular fort in one direction and filled them all with shotgun shells.
Looking at the surging crowd below, Meng Lin waved his hand fiercely: "Fire!"
Twelve rays of fire shot out from various gun emplacements on the three triangular forts almost at the same time! There was a roar and smoke rose from the muzzle. After the twelve shotgun shells were sprayed out of the muzzle, they instantly disintegrated in the air and turned into two to three thousand deadly iron bullets and lead bullets. Like the scythe of death, they cut towards the extremely dense crowd of golden soldiers!
These iron bullets and lead bullets were fired from 5-pound cannons and 10-pound cannons! The penetrating power is extremely astonishing. No matter how many layers of armor the golden soldiers below are equipped with, they can all be penetrated with one blow!
It didn't penetrate the armor, but penetrated the human body! This end goes in, and the other end makes a hole and comes out, taking away a large mass of flesh and blood. That's it, the power of the projectile has not been exhausted, and it can still penetrate into the body of another golden soldier!
This is real flesh and blood! One after another, they burst out of the human body.
Perhaps the bombardment came too suddenly, or perhaps the lethality of the artillery was too shocking. The golden soldiers between the three triangular forts were completely stunned. Not to mention risking his life to attack the city, he even forgot about escaping. He only left his mouth wide open and screamed loudly.
The artillerymen on the Triangular Fort didn't care about this. They all operated the cannon skillfully, completing the clearing, loading, and resetting of the cannon as quickly as possible, and then ignited the cannon again...
Looking down from the triangular fortress occupied by Meng Lin, as bursts of cannon fire rang out, I saw in front of the wide trench, those wearing white leather robes or directly wearing armor on top of their cloth clothes, or only one People wearing cloth clothes to protect their bodies twisted and trembled and fell indiscriminately one by one. This was a massacre!
So much flesh and blood spewed out at the same time that the soil could no longer absorb it. The red liquid flowed into the dry trench like a river, and actually ended up on three triangular towers (three triangular towers formed two trumpets). A red stream formed in the trench below!
This is a real river of blood!
The rivers of blood are already flowing, and the Song army on the top of the city is not satisfied... Now it is the artillery that is killing people, and there are also infantry on the city!
Now there are a hundred people on each triangular platform, and everyone has a bow and arrow. However, they do not shoot, but directly throw thunder from the top!
This is still a group of grenadiers!
Explosions of thunder fell like raindrops, exploding among the crowd that had been staggered by the cannons, and killed many Jin soldiers who were lucky enough to escape the cannon fire...
Rounds of shelling and thunder bombings finally woke up the golden soldiers who rushed up with their heads covered. Those Jin soldiers who were positioned relatively far back and were not attacked by cannons and thunderstorms were so frightened that they collapsed and retreated in defeat, shouting loudly.
Wanyan Xiebao had already ventured close to the fortress at this time, and he and Wanyan Huonv were lying behind a "tube bunker" to supervise the battle. Both he and Huonv were stunned by the massacre that occurred more than 200 steps away.
How is this going?
How did this happen?
More than 10,000 people!
How come it was pushing a straw cart that could withstand "Little Maruko", but was repelled by several rounds of shelling and hundreds of mines?
And there were heavy casualties!
"Damn, they're all those bastards who can eat but not beat..." Wanyan Huonv was furious. She drew out her sword and was about to charge, but was saved by Wanyan beside her. Hold on.
"Huo Nu, wait, don't go..." Xie Bao said, "There's something weird!"
"What's weird?" When Wanyan Huonv heard "weird", she immediately stopped rushing and turned to look at Wanyan Xiebao, who was "the weirdest in Daikin".
Xie Bao said: "There is something weird about the bunk fort of the Song Dynasty... They built it like this on purpose!"
This is not nonsense!
How could such a complex shape be created without design?
"I understand!" Wanyan Xiebao said, "This short fort is designed to cooperate with the tubes and defense tubes..."
This is a smart Tatar!
He will improve after suffering a loss, and actually see the wonderful use of the bastion.
Wanyan Xiebao said: "This short fort is very short, and it is made of straw bags filled with soil. It is difficult for our cannons to hit, and it will not collapse even if it is hit... Look carefully, This fort is wide below and narrow above, with a triangular point facing us, so the fort piled up like this cannot collapse."
This is still a "science Tatar"!
Wan Yanhuo Nu seemed to understand, "Then how come the power of this tube has been doubled? Is there some formation that increases the power of the tube? Did the people of Song Dynasty cast a magic spell on the tube?"
This is a "monster Tatar".
But his opinion also makes sense - because Song Jun just fired cross-fire, the hit rate can indeed be greatly improved!
Therefore, the power of the cannon has indeed doubled and increased several times.
"It doesn't have to be a demon..." Wanyan Xiebao believes in immortality and believes that all things have animism, and Zhuongzi is no exception. Zhuongzi can also become a spirit!
However, he didn't think that the Song Army's gun was really good. If it was really good, why was it so inaccurate when the straw truck was advancing just now?
"It's still weird about that short fort!" Wanyan Xiebao said, "That's right...it's just that the positions of those pointed triangular forts are weird...Look carefully, those are all weird. It is a bell mouth, big on the outside and small on the inside. The trench is built along the fortress. If our people want to fill the trench, they have to enter the bell mouth. Once they enter the bell mouth, they will receive bullets on their abdomen and back!
Because the abdomen and back were blocked, the casualties were particularly high! Living girl, we can't continue to attack. At least two to three thousand people were killed just now... This way of death is not acceptable! "
"Don't fight?" Wanyan Huonu frowned, "Then you lose..."
"Victory and defeat are common things for military strategists!" Wanyan Xiebao didn't care, "And we also learned a skill!"
"What's your ability?" Wanyan Huonv was stunned, "What's your ability?"
"Build the short fort!" Wanyan Xiebao said, "Although this short fort is weird, it is not difficult to build. We can also build it ourselves...With this short fort, we can defeat it in the future." The land will be easy to defend. A short fort is easy to build. Except for the need for a lot of barrels, the other costs are very small, and the defense power is amazing. Why can't even tens of thousands of us defeat a short fort? In the future, when we march thousands of miles westward, This short fort can protect our territory!"
The bastion is indeed a colonial weapon!
To colonize, you have to occupy it, and you have to occupy it at a low cost!
Without bastions, it would be much more difficult to defend the overseas strongholds of colonial empires, and the cost of guarding would also rise significantly. It is hard to say whether colonization can continue.
Wan Yanhuo Nu asked: "Your Majesty, shall we still fight?"
Wanyan Xiebao waved his hand, "We can't continue the fight... It's not okay to lose men and horses in vain! Huo Nu, you go across the river in person to find Wu Shu and ask him to retreat. Tell him, this The Dwarf Fort is simply too powerful to attack, and besieging the city and calling for reinforcements is simply not feasible."
