Yeli Shengrong was so frightened by Liang Chuan's artillery that his liver and gallbladder split. Many of the surviving people who withdrew from the battlefield were so shocked that their ears were deafened and their blood flowed directly from the ear canals. The worst of all were those who did not come back, not even a single person. The whole corpse cannot be collected.
Ten thousand troops were killed and two to three thousand wounded. Thousands more were frightened by Liang Chuan's artillery. They abandoned their helmets and armor and fled to who knows where. More of them were injured by the horses under them. Shocked, they trampled on the battlefield out of control, killing and injuring countless of their own people. When Ye Li Shengrong returned to Weizhou City, he counted and found that out of the 10,000 people who had returned from the expedition, there were less than 3,000. These people were like frightened birds, and they could not answer any questions.
Sure enough, that sentence came true. From the moment firearms were born, nomads became good at singing and dancing!
Ye Li Shengrong locked the gate of Weizhou City tightly. There was no way to fight this battle anyway. There were experts on the other side who knew how to use sorcery. How could mortals be able to resist the thunder and fire that fell from the sky! If you want to fight, let His Majesty return to the army and take action himself. Looking at the frightened men and his own trembling legs, the bloody scene reappears one after another.
Liang Chuan's troops are catching up!
Four hundred steps away from Weizhou, General Liang Chuan held his troops back. Looking at the iron-barrel-like Weizhou City, he showed a satisfied smile and thought to himself: If you go out of the city to fight, we will fight more with less, and the pressure will be greater. , it would be much more convenient for you all to just stay in the city and take the shells!
The sixty-four artillery pieces were all calibrated to face the city of Weizhou. There were two people for each artillery to calibrate the angle, four people to adjust the direction, one person to clear the barrel, and one person to load the shells. Others operate bed crossbows and hard crossbows.
Although the power of the artillery is immense, the manufacturing process of the gun barrel is too complicated. Zhaodi and Fang Tianding worked with so many apprentices for so many years before they were able to produce sixty-four. There is really no way to maximize the lethality of gunpowder. .
Liang Chuan thought of a better idea - the bed crossbow.
The bed crossbow is mounted on a chariot, and a large bag of explosives is tied to the crossbow. The range of this bed crossbow is extremely long, almost catching up with the artillery. Wherever the nail is fired, it cannot be pulled out at all. When the gunpowder is loaded, After the fuse burns out, a huge firework will bloom wherever it was shot! The power is only slightly less powerful than the iron bullets of gunpowder!
"Aim... fire!"
The sixty-four guns of gunpowder did not fire at the same time, but in sequence. If it were the continuous sound of cannons, one after another, it would completely destroy the enemy's fighting spirit!
The angle of the bed crossbow was adjusted to shoot upward. The five soldiers of the Shenji Battalion turned the winch with all their strength to make the crossbow string collapse to the tightest point. The soldiers on the side lit the torch and ignited the fuse. The soldier smashed it down with a hammer, and the bed made a burst of sound. A sharp sound broke through the air, flying towards Weizhou City!
Xia Song allocated a lot of divine arm bows to Liang Chuan. Liang Chuan let Guan Jing's cavalry equipment go, but he kept all the bed crossbows. Liang Chuan dismantled all the artillery and bed crossbows at the top of Dingchuan City and prepared to burn the boat.
Liang Chuan even bought and made more than two hundred extra crossbows. For such a large team, not to mention the explosives on them, even if they fired a salvo, they would take countless lives!
The crossbow arrows of Fuzi Crossbow are no different from spears. Under the action of huge twisting force and inertia, they penetrate deeply into the green brick wall of Weizhou City!
Then
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It was a loud noise! A big hole was opened where the crossbow arrow was, and the bricks on the top of the city fell one after another! If the crossbow arrow hits the tower, half of the tower will be lifted off by the powerful air wave. You can clearly see the tiles flying into the sky from five hundred steps away!
Every time an artillery bomb blasted into the city of Weizhou, it would take away a large area of buildings. At this time, most of the houses were made of wooden bricks. Once the artillery fire hit, they would be directly razed to the ground, and no one in the house would survive. The poor people don't have the concept of air-raid shelters, and they don't know where to hide. The cannonballs and crossbow arrows are falling all over the sky, making it impossible to escape!
Liang Chuan's gunpowder and artillery shells were worked day and night. The Tianxiong Army was responsible for defense and killing during battles, and was responsible for transporting gunpowder and artillery shells during normal times. Each of them pulled several horses, and the amount of explosives was enough to keep Liang Chuan fighting until next year!
Weizhou City was bombarded by Liang Chuan for a long time, and not a single standing building in the city was destroyed. It also caused a raging fire that burned half of Weizhou City. The people and soldiers in the city were either killed by the bombing or were killed by the scene. Scared to the point of dementia.
The city wall of Weizhou City was turned into a pile of broken bricks under the ravage of countless cannonballs. Even the city gate was blown open by Liang Chuan. He thought that all the soldiers in the city would run out, but Liang Chuan calmed down and counted, and ran for about More than a thousand people left behind an empty city that was about to be devoured by fire. .
This is not called a city, this is called a ruin!
The Battle of Weizhou can be regarded as a turning point in the history of war. From this battle, gunpowder officially entered people's awareness, and Liang Chuan easily captured the city without losing a single soldier. Yeli Shengrong fled north with more than a thousand people and fled back to Xiping Mansion!
It was beyond Liang Chuan's expectation that Weizhou City was so easy to capture. The power of gunpowder was indeed extraordinary. Next, it depends on how Su Wei arranges it.
Liang Chuan did not arrange for the team to enter Weizhou City, but stationed in the wilderness. His idea was to continue heading north, and if possible, directly take away Li Yuanhao's lair and make him a lost dog.
Su Wei immediately denied his idea. He analyzed the current situation and said: "The enemy did not know the power of our artillery so that we could capture Weizhou City so easily. Although the artillery is powerful, its shortcomings cannot be underestimated. This If there is an inch of snow in the two days of beautiful weather, the power will be greatly reduced."
"Besides, we are alone and have insufficient logistical supplies. If we reach Xiping Mansion, if they find a way to deal with it and drag us on for three to five months, and Di Qing's troops cannot come back in time, we will be doomed."
Su Wei finally said the most critical words: "We are not trying to destroy Xixia, our goal is just Li Yuanhao!"
Liang Chuan carefully thought about what Su Wei said and found that now that he had won a battle and captured a city, everyone's minds were indeed a little hot and their emotions were very high. If anyone from the team came out, he would dare to attack Xingqing. In the mansion, the two sworn brothers still like this feeling of dominating the world, as if they were born to be pioneers.
This feeling was too terrible, just like a gambler who was crazy about gambling. He thought carefully about what Su Wei said was very reasonable. If he forgot his goal at this time, the final outcome would be like the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. .
Victory is short-lived. .
Liang Chuan sincerely asked Su Wei for advice: "How should this game of chess be played to achieve the best outcome?"
"The best outcome is that we fight
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Winning and Li Yuanhao's words calmed down the resentment in your heart and enhanced our national prestige. This is the superior ending. The second is not being able to defeat Li Yuanhao but retreating unharmed. This is a slightly worse ending. The worst result is that we cannot defeat Li Yuanhao and we are all killed by the party members. Li Yuanhao gets our artillery and runs rampant throughout the world. . "
Liang Chuan has artillery in his hands. Although he can win the battle of Weizhou by surprise, the party members may not be able to find a way to deal with it after they get used to the roar of artillery. Digging air-raid shelters and tunnels is a very simple method. They only need to huddle in the city. Here, it always rains and snows, and at that time the situation is not good for you.
Su Wei saw that Liang Chuan had listened to what he said, so he continued: "For the best outcome, we cannot be fooled by the victory in front of us. Calm down and we have to set a bigger trap for Li Yuanhao!"
When Liang Chuan heard this, he knew that Su Wei must have a plan in mind, and said happily: "Come and tell me!"
"Our numbers are too small to fight on two fronts. Now Li Yuanhao has gone to the southwest to assist several military divisions in the south. He will turn back soon. The defenders in the north will also go south to join up after receiving Li Yuanhao's order. By then, our two-front fighting situation will be very difficult. Will be passive."
Su Wei spoke unhurriedly, but did not stop: "We sent people back to Zhenrong to report the good news, and asked Xia Song to send troops to guard Weizhou. In the many years of the Song-Xia war, only party members have occupied our city. , this is the first time we have counterattacked, I believe he will not refuse this huge contribution!"
"Then shall we go north or south?"
"We stand still!"
"Xia Song occupied Xiping Mansion and Xingqing Mansion in the north of Weizhou. The pressure will be borne by them. Even if they lose, we will have time to respond. The purpose of this is to create the illusion that Guyuan City is empty. Li Yuanhao This man is good at making surprises and surprises. Weizhou is already an empty city and is worthless to him. I believe he will not be in a hurry to take it back. When he sees that Guyuan is empty, he will definitely follow our example of encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao, and concentrate superior forces to surround Guyuan."
This game of chess was too big, and Liang Chuan couldn't react for a while.
Su Weizui kept talking: "Li Yuanhao's encirclement of Guyuan is equivalent to cutting off Weizhou's supply. Weizhou will be theirs sooner or later. Xia Song will definitely not dare to let the soldiers he sent die in vain when he sends troops to Weizhou. Troops will be sent from nearby to assist, which has become Li Yuanhao’s old tactic again!”
Liang Chuan listened for a long time before reacting: "Surround the area for reinforcements!"
"good!"
Liang Chuan thought through his thoughts and found that this was simply a routine within a routine. Su Wei, an old boy, had completely figured out the character traits and skills of Xia Song and Li Yuanhao. He knew what kind of soldiers they were good at using and what kind of soldiers they had to use. Xia Song Whether it's Li Yuanhao or not, both parties are under Su Wei's control!
"I'll send someone to report the victory right away!"
"No, you need to take someone to set up an ambush!"
"Aren't we going to wait for Li Yuanhao to surround Guyuan?"
"We want Li Yuanhao to go to Guyuan, but we can't let him actually come, because we can't fight him decisively under Guyuan City, and we will set up an ambush to eat him halfway!"
"Where to set up an ambush?"
"Tiandu Mountain Xiangjia Gorge!"
