The Jin army moved quickly and, under siege from all sides, a large number of soldiers had passed through the moat that was three to four feet wide through the bridge built by the trench bridge truck.
There is also a wave of pits and a defensive line in front of them. If they break through here, they will face the city wall directly and can begin the process of attacking the city wall with ants.
Behind them, a large number of siege equipment was playing a protective role. The officers, howling at the top of their lungs, organized a large number of soldiers to carry out breakthrough operations and tried their best to fill the pits.
The numerical advantage of the Jin army was fully utilized at this moment. Wan Yanliang was in a safe position at the rear. He looked at the smooth advancement of the siege troops with a proud smile on his lips.
Soon.
It's really fast.
He is about to win, and this victory is just the beginning of a series of victories. It is also the beginning of his journey to the pinnacle of life and power. His bright future is slowly approaching.
As emperor, Wan Yanliang is about to realize his dream of unifying China.
It wasn't until the first rocket hit the top of a colander, and then the sound of the gunpowder barrel igniting and exploding reached Wan Yanliang's ears that the proud smile on his lips suddenly disappeared.
"Firearm? So loud?"
Wan Yanliang looked towards the direction from which the sound came.
At this moment, a cloud of white smoke suddenly rose up, and the shock wave blew away the soldiers in a circle around it, causing a bloody storm and causing chaos among the surrounding soldiers.
"I remember that the rebels once used firearms when they attacked our navy, but I didn't pay much attention to them at the time. I didn't expect the rebels' firearms to be so sophisticated. Where are our firearms?"
Wanyan Liang looked at Wanyan Benjian next to him somewhat unhappily.
"Our military firearms are not yet in place and are probably still being transported. If Your Majesty needs them, I will send someone to hurry up."
"Go on, the thief army used firearms, we have to retaliate! We must show some color to the thief army!"
Wanyan nodded and continued to stare at the battlefield.
However, at this moment, the situation on the battlefield has undergone some changes.
The first round of use of the recovered weapons brought great results.
The rockets hit the Jin Army's churning vehicles, building vehicles, trench bridge vehicles and other equipment one after another, and some even hit the rear soldiers' formations from farther away.
The big arrow itself did not cause many casualties, but the ensuing gunpowder explosion caused great casualties to the Jin army.
Loud noises can make people deaf if they are not careful, which is still a good thing.
If you get even a little closer, you will be hit by the shock wave, making you unable to stand firmly.
If you get any closer, you will be easily injured by flying rocks and iron filings. Once you hit a vital part, you will immediately bleed like a spurt, and it is possible to die on the spot.
If you are unlucky and get closer, you will end up with blood and flesh flying everywhere, and your whole body will be blown to pieces, or blown into pieces, and you will not even be able to look like a person anymore.
The rocket is still a physical weapon with magic damage. The amount of gunpowder in the gunpowder barrel is not too large. The power is sacrificed to a certain extent in order to accurately shoot the target.
In comparison, fireballs are purely magical weapons. Their accuracy is not as high as rockets, but their power is far better than rockets.
This is to blow people up, not to hit them.
Huge fireballs fell from the sky one by one in the golden soldier formation, and then there was a roar, and clouds of white smoke mixed with red minced meat exploded, spreading blood on the surrounding people.
If rockets and fireballs fall into a crowd, the explosion range will not be too large.
It can also kill and injure people in the surrounding area, causing a wave of bloodshed.
If it falls next to the siege equipment, or is directly nailed to the siege equipment, it will cause damage to the siege equipment.
The thick triangular roofs used to defend several vehicles from arrows and rocks were blown open.
More than a dozen golden soldiers gathered together in the car were blown to pieces. Some of them who were close to them were killed directly. Some of them who were a little further away were not dead, but they were also covered with injuries. In addition to screaming, they were all injured. Scream.
Fireballs are more powerful.
A fireball landed right in the middle of the structure of a truck, causing a loud bang and blowing up the truck in half.
The three lookout soldiers on the roof of the car were blown away and fell to the ground to death.
A bunch of fireballs landed around the Haoqiao vehicle and exploded into pieces, causing the golden soldiers nearby and in the vehicle to fly into pieces and scream in agony.
Waves of air blew away countless golden soldiers. Many of them fell to the ground and fell into the ditch of the moat.
The stones and iron filings wrapped in the air wave directly accelerated to a super speed, which affected all the surrounding golden soldiers. Some unlucky golden soldiers were hit in the eyes, neck, chest, and aorta, and they fell down immediately. The blood spurted out wildly, and I couldn't even hold it back. I couldn't stand it until I saw it.
Jiang Liangping himself guarded the north gate where the Jin Army's main attack was. He didn't know what the situation was like at the other three gates. He just looked at his own side and saw that the effect of the firearm explosion was very good.
The Jin Army's originally orderly river crossing offensive operations and river filling operations were basically terminated. The long-range firepower originally used to suppress the firepower of the city wall was also severely beaten, and the long-range strike firepower was suddenly reduced.
The first wave of aggressive attacks by the Jin Army was frustrated due to the use of firearms by the Liberation Army. Morale was greatly reduced, and there were even soldiers trying to retreat to a safe area.
Wan Yanliang was very angry about this and immediately ordered his troops to step forward, raise their crossbows and shoot, and kill anyone who dared to retreat.
It is to use fear to let those cowards who try to retreat know the consequences of retreating.
The result of retreating is to be severely concentrated by dense arrows!
If you rush forward, you won't necessarily die, but if you move backward, you will definitely die! Take your pick!
What else is there to choose from?
The soldiers could only bite the bullet and rush forward. As long as they waited until Ming Jin retreated, there was still hope of survival.
Wan Yanliang ordered the frontline soldiers not to retreat, but to continue to attack and move forward bravely.
The bandit army cannot hold out!
Isn't it just a firearm?
It’s not a witchcraft, so what’s there to be afraid of?
When our firearms arrive, we can still beat him up!
Not to mention, the so-called layman sees the excitement, and the expert sees the door. Wanyan Liang didn't think the firearm was very scary, but Wanyan Benjian looked a little strange and felt that the firearm was unusual.
It's not like he's never seen firearms before.
He has seen the Song Army, the Jin Army himself, and the Xixia people, and he can be said to have extensive knowledge.
But he had never seen such a powerful firearm.
Earlier, when they went south to fight the Song Army, they basically regarded the Song Army's firearms as a joke. They felt that apart from the sound that could scare people, the effect of these weapons was not very good.
At the gate of Kaifeng City, the Song Army used thunder cannons to attack the Jin Army. The loud noise was indeed quite bluffing at first, but later the Jin Army discovered that the thunder cannons were useless at all, and not many people died under the thunder cannons in a battle.
It was quite deafening.
Even so, these firearms were quite useless. Their iron cavalry ran wildly and attacked for hundreds of miles and thousands of miles. When they fought all the way to the front of the Song army, the Song army didn't even lift the torch to light the fire.
What's the point of this?
Therefore, the famous Jin Army general Wanyan Zongbi, who repeatedly defeated the Song Army and made great achievements, once said that the Song Army had many weapons, but most of them were flashy. The only ones worth worrying about were the divine arm bow and the heavy axe.
Troops that use divine arm bows and heavy axes are elite troops worthy of being taken seriously - such as the Yue Family Army.
Now the Jin Kingdom has both of these, maybe the quantity is more than that of the Southern Song Dynasty, the quality is better than that of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the training is also good.
At that time, Wanyan Zongbi also led 80,000 god-armed archers in the northern expedition against the Mongols in the grassland, although the results were not great.
As for firearms, after Jin people's own research, they also felt that they were too flashy, rarely practical, too uncontrollable, and had the feeling of hurting others first, making them difficult to use.
The mainstream attitude in the Jin Kingdom's military circles is that when the two armies are fighting on the battlefield, swords, guns, bows and crossbows are more effective.
Therefore, although the Kingdom of Jin also used firearms, they did not pay much attention to them. They were mainly used on the defensive end. In recent years, some firearms that can be used on the siege end have been equipped to the army, but the effect is just that.
But today, the firearms used by the rebels are a bit unexpectedly powerful. The explosion is as loud as thunder and extremely fierce. It can kill people, blow those who are close to it into pieces, and can also blow up large siege equipment. , really powerful.
If all the firearms of the Liberation Army were like this, and there were a lot of them, then it would be a big problem.
