To be honest, it cannot be said that Jin Jun's firearms are useless.
It can only be said that compared with its high cost and storage cost, its practical value cannot help the manufacturer recover its costs.
The Jin Army also seemed to realize that its firearms were difficult to use and had limited attack effects.
However, the firearms attack of the Liberation Army was still sharp. Once it exploded, it would set off a strong impact, killing and injuring a circle of people in the surrounding area. The iron filings could also damage the Jin Army at a farther range, causing huge panic to others.
In the past few days, so many people have been killed by the Liberation Army's firearms that the Jin Army privately named the Liberation Army's firearms that were similar in shape to iron artillery "Thunder Cannons."
The God of Thunder is a god with a punitive meaning in ancient Chinese nature worship. People think that if they do bad things, they will be killed by the God of Thunder with thunder and lightning.
The firearms of the Liberation Army not only sounded like thunderbolts, but also exploded with astonishing power. They could kill many people and blow them to pieces. Aren't they the God of Thunder in the sky?
After this statement spread, some people in the army said that there were experts in the Liberation Army who led the God of Thunder down to earth to teach the art of firearms, specifically to deal with the golden soldiers. They had absolutely no chance of winning against the power of the God of Thunder, so they had better hurry up. It is better to retreat.
This coincides with the widespread war-weariness within the Jin Army, so this argument has become more and more intense.
To the point that many troops were unwilling to go into battle before they were forced to go into battle, and begged the generals not to let them go into battle. They did not want to be killed by the Thor Cannon, they wanted to live.
The huge anti-war sentiment and panic within the army made Wan Yanliang very angry.
Seeing that the progress of the Jin army's siege was as slow as a tortoise, and the equipment of firearms did not have much effect, there were actually rumors in the army that the Liberation Army had lured the God of Thunder down to earth to make firearms to deal with the Jin army, which made the army uneasy and there were a lot of anti-war and war-weary voices. Wan Yanliang was shocked and angry.
He summoned the main generals and gave them tasks. If they could not quell the rumors in the army, they would be "quelled" by Wan Yanliang.
The generals were frightened and could only follow the emperor's orders and use their personal guards to arrest those who were rumored to be very energetic throughout the army.
They caught them and tortured them, making them spit out more people who were spreading rumors, and then they caught and tortured them again.
Use a whip.
Use a wooden stick as thick as an arm to hit your arms and legs hard.
Or just press people's heads into the bucket, using the terror of suffocation to prompt them to confess.
In fact, this was not a deliberate thing in itself, it was just the soldiers' fear and war-weariness, but when it was done like this, it looked like a conspiracy.
Through various cruel and inhumane means, more than 700 people were arrested in just five or six days.
Some of these people were even Jurchen soldiers, and they did not receive special care. They were either tortured to death or sent to transportation camps to serve as the humblest civilian husbands.
Not only was he deprived of his status and treatment as a regular soldier, he was not even able to become a contract soldier.
Not only that, they also came up with a way.
Any talk about the "Thunder Cannon" and "the Liberation Army led the Thunder God down to earth" have become taboo. As long as you hear someone say it, anyone can inform, and the informant can get a very generous bonus.
It's different if you have money.
As a result, more than 500 people were betrayed in various ways and turned into bonuses in the hands of informants.
Since then, Wan Yanliang has successfully suppressed the panic in the army and suppressed the war-weariness. With the breakthrough progress of finally filling in several passages in the moat ditch, the morale of the Jin army has received a small boost. improvement.
On November 23, the Jin Army finally broke through the moat defense line of the Liberation Army, cleared away all obstacles in front of the city wall, filled in all pits, and destroyed all obstacles.
Now, they began to push the huge siege equipment towards the city wall, and the elite combat troops began to work hard for the top military achievement of "getting there first".
Ten days before that, a total of more than 1,500 soldiers of the Jin Army were killed, and the number of injured was even greater.
The number of casualties among the signing troops and civilians was countless, but no specific figures were given to the emperor. Of course, the emperor himself was not interested either——
No one was interested in counting numbers that not even an emperor was interested in.
Being blocked by a city from advancing the army was already very annoying, and the death of more than 1,500 soldiers made Wan Yanliang even more angry.
In order to capture Hejian City faster and open the road south, Wan Yanliang announced his new policy.
After the Hejian City was broken, the army was allowed to enter the city, burn, kill and loot for three days.
Within three days, they can do whatever they want!
All the men, women, and children in the city are their spoils of war!
They can do whatever they want!
The emperor's declaration greatly stimulated the Jin Army's fighting will. The elite soldiers of the Jin Army roared like wild beasts and followed the large army forward bravely.
The Hejian offensive and defensive battle has officially entered its most tense moment.
Jiang Liangping saw the main force of the Jin army coming towards the north gate.
The huge rush vehicle moved together with the floor vehicle and the nest vehicle, and the slightly lower hoist vehicle and ladder vehicle were also traveling side by side. A large number of soldiers rushed forward simultaneously with the war equipment, like fierce storm waves, which were being fully charged. Strengthening his strength, he attacked towards the lonely reef.
That kind of scene gave him a great visual impact.
Jiang Liangping swallowed, calmed down, waved his hand, and gave the order to attack.
Hot and cold weapons were used together, and huge stones, ignited thunder cannons, simple big arrows, and rockets tied with gunpowder barrels flew out of the city.
The crossbowmen, protected by wooden curtains, struggled to shoot arrows outside the city. The arrows cut through the air and hit the Jin army's formation outside the city.
The Jin army formed a military formation, using shields and wooden curtains as their own protection. Under attacks from boulders and big arrows, they advanced step by step amid the roar of fireballs and rockets.
The infantry moved forward with the heavy siege equipment. Using their huge bodies as cover, they themselves could also provide certain help to the siege equipment.
The Liberation Army's attack was still sharp. Golden soldiers were constantly being smashed to death by boulders, hit by big arrows, killed and injured by the power of fireballs and rocket explosions, or were affected by the aftermath and flew sideways. , I don’t know whether I will live or die.
There were also a large number of golden soldiers who were deafened by the huge roar, and were even blown into coma and became insane, thus losing their combat effectiveness and the right to live as a human being.
The firearms of the Liberation Army caused huge damage and shock to the Jin Army, especially the Jin Army's infantry. Although not too many people died directly, the people who were injured by the firearms and lost their combat effectiveness were especially There are too many.
Since the war began, almost half of the Jin Army's casualties came from the Liberation Army's Thor cannons and rockets, while the amount of firearms used by the Liberation Army did not reach this proportion.
The tall car became the target of rocket fire.
Under the command of the officer, several crossbows were aimed at one of the assault vehicles that posed the greatest threat to the city wall. The officer roared, and the crossbowman dropped the sledgehammer in his hand. Four or five rockets were fired loudly, hitting directly. The target was not far away but the target was very large, and he clung to it.
The fuse burned to the end, and the gunpowder barrel detonated immediately.
It exploded into pieces.
The deafening explosion was right in front of them, and the shock wave caused by the explosion blew the protective device of the impact vehicle into pieces.
The cowhide was blown open, the wooden planks were blown through, and the two rows of golden soldiers standing on the fourth and fifth floors, ready to attack at any time, were blown to pieces. They were either dead or knocked unconscious by the shock, and their lives and deaths were unknown.
The flesh and blood of the people killed in the bombing was scattered all over the heads and faces of the golden soldiers in the lower row.
The golden soldiers in the lower row could do nothing but cover their ears and protect their heads. Of course, the effect of this was extremely limited.
Some people were frightened and screamed in horror.
Someone wiped his face in dissatisfaction and cursed loudly.
Some people licked the corners of their mouths, and the strong smell of blood stimulated their killing nerves.
Some people also pick their ears and pat their heads, only to find that they can no longer hear the sounds from their surroundings.
Despite this, the collision vehicle was not destroyed.
The collision vehicle continued to move forward.
Even if the soldiers inside were blown to pieces, it could not stop this terrifying war machine from continuing to move forward.
At this moment, they no longer regard themselves as human beings.

ps: In order to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Communist Party of China, I made a fool of myself. The confrontation was not neat and uneven, but I hope you can forgive me.
Throughout the ages, no hero can find a liberator. The twenty-four histories are just for the emperors and generals to record their photos and drink wine. At the foot of Lanzhu Mountain, there are bones all over the field. The people are suffering. Talents and beauties. Who can bear it?
The south is Chen and the north is Li, and the road is blue and blue, and I have found the Jiaxing Red Boat. For twenty-eight years, I still remember the long march of blood and fire. Looking back, under Tiananmen, the red flag is already fluttering. We must firmly believe that communism and the right path have gone through vicissitudes of life.
