The craftsmen who received the order will naturally not stop. In fact, they are not willing to stop even if Gongsun Zan doesn't tell them. What a great opportunity this is. Since this mysterious weapon is not easy to make, it can only be used to test the strength and accuracy of the barrel. You can only fire one shot when you need two shells.
Now that there is an opportunity to attack the city, it is natural that it cannot be wasted. This group of craftsmen are all silently implementing the principle of one person firing the cannon and then replacing it with others.
Eating alone is not allowed.
boom
The small steel cannon showed its power again, and the fifth shell fired at the second gate of Liaodong City after adjusting the range angle.
However, he was blocked by the first city gate again.
Let’s talk about ancient city defense here. As an important city, the city gate tower is not only equipped with arrow towers for archers to shoot arrows, but also an important structure is the iron fence to prevent the city gate from breaking open. It is used for the second defense later.
The designs of individual cities are different. Some are made of boulders. Of course, this is still a part of the city. There is usually a hole on it for pouring kerosene to burn the city cone.
But today, the kerosene is of little use. Even the iron fence used as the second interception only blocked one cannonball and was useless.
The huge openings and the splattered iron railings all told that they were useless.
The shelling did not stop
Continue to bombard the second gate of Liaodong City
The soldiers of Liaodong were stunned when they saw such a powerful weapon for the first time, and they all wondered what it was?
"Is this a thunderstorm?"
"It seems so"
"The city wall will be broken as soon as it's over~!"
"The city gate is also closed~!"
"Ming Zun, Ming Zun must have invited the God of Thunder from the sky."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Mingzun, do you still need to invite me? That's called sending~!"
"Oh, yes, pie."
"Your Majesty, I must be avenged by my family's ancestors this time."
"Consolate the soul of my dead uncle with the blood of the stick"
Ten cannonballs were fired in a row, and all the craftsmen took turns. There was no longer a stick that could stand on Liaodong City. They all knelt on the ground and prayed to God, praying to their gods to bless them, put down the anger of thunder, and forgive them. 's fault.
The sound of exploding shells reminded Gao Jianwen of the tragic death of the Japanese envoy Kameda Kazuo. He began to suspect that it was a punishment from the gods for their shameless behavior. When he knelt down, he happened to see the big The sparks from the small steel cannon in front of the Tang formation.
Datang’s new weapon?
This is what Gao Jianwen thought. He shouted loudly to the generals around him: "Assholes, get up, you trash. This is a new weapon from the Tang Dynasty. It is not a punishment from heaven. Get up and fight!"
However, no one paid any attention to him. They had no knowledge of science and culture and it was their first time seeing the power of a small steel cannon. Naturally, they did not think that it was a weapon of the Tang Dynasty. Thunder explosions were a capability only possessed by gods.
Some of the generals also dissuaded Gao Jianwen: "General, please kneel down quickly and pray to God to calm down and stop punishing us."
"Yes, general, please kneel down quickly, otherwise you will be struck to death by thunder."
"Yes, the general heard that the envoy of the Japanese island nation was struck to death by thunder~!"
Gao Jianwen naturally would not listen to what his subordinates said. He guessed the willingness, and he still stood pointing at the small steel cannon under the city: "That is the weapon of the Tang Dynasty, a weapon~!"
Shoot the first bird
A standing figure came out of the empty city. Not to mention Gongsun Zan with a telescope, even the soldiers with slightly better eyesight could see it.
Gongsun Zan used a telescope to look at the style of the opponent's armor, and judged that the opponent was a general with a stick, and directly ordered: "Fire a shot at the city wall and kill the standing one."
At the same time, Gao Jianwen continued to point to the city and explain to his generals: "See, it's that thing. You losers, stand up and show me clearly. Believe it or not, I will kill you~!"
"General, stop talking nonsense and kneel down quickly or the thunder will come again~!"
Gao Jianwen pulled out his sword and pointed it at the general who was speaking: "Song Zhongji, try saying it again~!"
"General, stop talking nonsense, kneel down quickly or the thunder is coming again. If you don't kneel down, I will kill you~!"
With an angry look on his face, Gao Jianwen took a step forward and swung the knife in his hand towards Song Joong Ki. Song Joong Ki saw a fire in front of him, and stones and soil flew up together with Gao Jianwen.
The swung knife also flew out in the firelight.
The soldiers and generals who were kneeling there were all blinded and killed by the explosion.
When Song Joong Ki opened his eyes, he looked at the mess around him. The place where Gao Jianwen was standing just now was already a mess.
As for Gao Jianwen
Sorry, I can't find any trace at all. Only the saber that flew out and then pretended to be broken shows that Gao Jianwen was still there.
After the explosion, there was a roar in the ears
Song Joong-ki felt that there was only a roar in his room, and his vision was blurry. He looked at the dead colleagues around him and suddenly woke up.
Gao Jianwen must have been struck by lightning because he was unwilling to kneel down and apologize to heaven. These people in his family were completely implicated by him. The sins committed by the Gao family back then were too serious, and God's punishment has come.
Yes, that's it.
Song Joong-ki stood up suddenly, with a crazy look in his eyes, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "This is God's punishment. God has punished us. No one can escape. The Gao family has sinned so much that they will all die. They will all die." ~!"
After shouting for the first time, Song Joong-ki began to run wildly on the top of the city and shouted: "This is God's punishment. God has punished us. No one can run away. The Gao family has sinned so much that they are all going to die. They are all going to die~!"
As Song Joong-ki shouted, the last trace of reason in the heart of the stick soldier who had been praying for God's forgiveness disappeared.
Some people knelt down and cried, saying that they should not have bullied the survivors of the former Sui Dynasty, and that they should not have gone to Beijing to view the remains and insulted the remains. They told them all their sins and begged for forgiveness.
Some other soldiers with sticks stood up, and their followers Song Joong Ki started running. What was different from what Song Joong Ki shouted was that they wanted to run, run down the city wall, and run out of the city.
"Run quickly~!"
"Thunder is coming~!"
"If you don't run, you will die~!"
The legends of heavenly punishment and thunder spread quickly like an unstoppable virus, and the entire Liaodong City defense collapsed instantly like a river bursting its banks.
Countless stick soldiers dropped their weapons, took off their armor and ran towards the city, trying to escape from other city gates. The other four city gates only heard the sound of gunfire and had no idea what was going on. Facing the fleeing soldiers, Naturally, they are not allowed to leave.
The two sides clashed as soon as they met, and civil strife began.
Gongsun Zan gave the order for the whole army to enter the city at the moment when the opponent abandoned the city defense and fled, and the real revenge began.
