Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 594

At the head of Zhongmu City, Liu Lin looked at the Song Army outside the city with a look of horror on his face.In the early morning sunlight, many copper pipes were lying on the ground, and a few soldiers were manipulating them, and they didn't know what to do.Next to the copper pipes, there are many iron bumps, which look a little scary.

Feng Changning said: "I heard that in Hedong, Mr. Tarlan's army was defeated by the Song army with iron bullets. Look at the piles outside, aren't they just iron bullets? Could the Song army also use this to attack Zhongmou City? It's just I don’t know how to throw it on the wall.”

With the cool morning breeze, a horn sounded, the sound was low and distant.

With the sound of the horn, the soldiers beside the copper pipe outside began to get busy.Some people put gunpowder into the tube, and some people picked up iron bullets and loaded them on top of the gunpowder.It was busy and tidy for a while, making the people at the top of the city confused.Following Zuo Yu Hou Tong Yuanqing's order, the handsome flag waved sharply, and the gunner lit the cannon.

Liu Lin was on the top of the wall and couldn't understand what Song Jun was doing.Stretching his neck, eager to see clearly.A muffled sound was heard, black smoke came out of the copper pipe, and the city wall under his feet suddenly trembled violently.

He fell to the ground all of a sudden, and slid down the city wall.Liu Lin said in horror: "What's going on? What's going on? The city wall has collapsed? What kind of magic method did the Song army outside the city use? Why did the city wall collapse?"

At this moment, the Song army outside the city had rushed over, shouting and killing.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the soldiers hurried forward to support Liu Lin.He said: "Prince, the city wall has collapsed, how can the county be defended? It's better to take some elite soldiers and flee to Baisha Town to meet Li Cheng. With tens of thousands of troops in hand, you can still deal with the Song army."

Liu Lin stood up and pulled himself together, and saw that the east wall of Zhongmou County had collapsed by half, and many of his soldiers were struggling in the rubble.The Song army outside the city lined up and rushed straight to the gap.

In Zhongmou County, the [-] troops stationed in Liu Lin were packed to the brim.Suddenly the city wall collapsed, and the other troops who were not defending the city panicked and ran around like headless flies.In a short time, the city was in chaos.

Liu Lin stomped his feet violently: "Zhiniang thief, you have fallen into Song Jun's way today!"

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly waved his hands to the generals, tried to organize the soldiers in the city as much as possible, and fled to Baisha Town together through the west gate.

Lu Yuandeng led his men to kill at the front.They quickly filled the trenches and rushed straight to the gap in the city wall.The defenders are not prepared at all, how can they be opponents of the Song army?In less than half an hour, Song Jun had arrived in the city.

Feng Changning said to Liu Lin: "The Song army has entered the city, the prince should leave quickly! If the Song army drags him back, the consequences will be hard to tell!"

Liu Lin nodded.Said: "The counselor will go with me. The Song army is in the east of the city. Let's go out to the west gate and meet Li Cheng at Baisha!"

After finishing speaking, he commanded the 2000 people who could still be organized under his command to open the west gate.

The troops at the front stepped out of their horses and were about to form formation when they heard a few muffled noises.Immediately afterwards, he saw several iron bullets flying towards him like lightning.Before they could dodge in time, the dozen or so people in front of them all hit the ground with iron bullets.

The surviving people shouted: "No, there is an iron bullet from the Song people here! Today is a fate, and I can't get away!"

Liu Lin looked at Feng Changning, then looked at the chaotic city, and said in a deep voice: "The matter is irreparable, we have to escape immediately. The councilor must follow me closely, and we must not get separated. We bring our relatives Soldiers, go to Baisha Town!"

After speaking, he brought dozens of his own soldiers, as well as Feng Changning and other cronies who followed him, and rushed out of the city.

Most of the army has no command and is wandering around the city gate.Some formed formations outside the horse's face, ready to fight.The formation has not yet been formed, and the Song Army's second round of artillery has arrived.Only then did the puppet Qi army realize that the iron bullet came out of the copper in front.

Gunpowder had already been available, and stone cannons were commonly used in the army. Gradually, some people realized that it might be the new cannon of the Song army.It's just that there is no way to deal with it, so they can only be bombed indiscriminately by the Song army.Before long, troops began to surrender one after another.

Liu Lin had more than 2 people in Zhongmou County. In order to prevent accidents, Niu Gao only deployed a few cannons one mile away from the west gate, and did not surround them to death.Taking advantage of this way of life, Liu Lin escaped with his own soldiers and 2000 people who ran out of the chaos.The rest of the army was surrounded and wiped out by the Song army.

Baisha Town was less than [-] miles away from Zhongmu, Li Cheng sent troops to respond and brought Liu Lin and others into the army.

In Niu Gao's tent in the west of the city, several people sat in front of the map, looking at the attached situation map.

The staff officer Xu Yan sorted out the situation of the battle ahead, and said to Niu Gao: "Marquis Duyu, Liu Lin led a few of his cronies to flee to Baisha Town, and less than 2000 people escaped. The rest of the army was besieged in Zhongmou City, and the army is being cleared. Cruel enemy."

Niu Gao said: "How many casualties did we have?"

Xu Yan said: "About 60 people were killed and more than 200 people were injured."

Niu Gao said to the rest of the people: "There were less than 300 casualties, and the battle was pretty good. According to the agreement with Cao Zhiyan, we will encircle Baisha Town tomorrow. It's still early in the morning. You go to the various ministries to have a look. After the battle, let them Repair immediately. Leave tomorrow morning!"

All the generals promised to go out to the various ministries to see.

Niu Gao looked at the map and said to Xu Yan: "Baisha Town is adjacent to the Jinshui River. There is no ferry on the river, so it can be regarded as dead. After this battle, Liu Lin only has more than [-] people in Baisha. We, together with Cao Zhiyan's troops, A total of more than [-] people. Three against one, we must wipe out the puppet Qi's army!"

Xu Yan nodded.After thinking for a while, he said, "Li Cheng is considered a famous general, so he probably wouldn't wait for us to encircle him in Baisha Town. Marquis Du Yu, do you think he will break through at night? He can't go east, nor can he go west, Li Cheng If you lead the army to the south, there will be no army to stop it for a while."

Niu Gao said: "If we leave at night, we will be defeated. Whether it is us or Cao Zhiyan, we can chase them down to nothing. Li Cheng is also considered a famous general, so it is impossible for him to be willing to end up like this. Anyway, he has 1 More than [-] people can still fight together."

Xu Yan said: "If we fight hard, these 1 people are not enough to fight. We moved the cannon over, and Li Cheng didn't know where it was, and he might have lined up within the range of the cannon. At that time, when the cannon exploded, chaos broke out."

Niu Gao smiled, and said: "Jiang Min played this game at the top of Shenshan City and won a big victory. Why don't we take the medicine according to the prescription?"

Xu Yan said: "Using bombardment all the time, fighting like this is a bit ineffective. However, isn't this kind of battle the most interesting?"

The infantry of this era, facing the army equipped with field artillery, can't stand in formation at all. How to fight?The quick-response army can also withdraw the army in time and then re-arrange.Liu Lin's army does not have this ability.

Niu Gao didn't care about victory by force, the most important thing was to end the war in the simplest way.Suffering such a huge loss, the Jin Army and the Puppet Qi will do their best to study the tactics of Wang Xiaohun's army, and the artillery will not be able to hide it for long.It won't be so smooth until the next battle.So how could Niu Gao give up on this great opportunity?The artillery in the army does not even need to be specially arranged for the gun positions, just pull it to the front of the formation and bombard it.

The enemy stood up in formation, and the cannons here fired together, and the enemy's formation soon became chaotic.At this time, if the army covers up, it will be a big victory, and the battle process is simple and clear.
