Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Under the city of Tongzhou, Wang Xiaolie looked at the city wall and didn't know what to say for a while.

Tongzhou has not been repaired since the Jin army was directly attacking the key, and there are still several half-decayed places on the city wall.The puppet army on the city wall is a bit messy.There are many people, but the organization is chaotic.Some people have nothing to do, and some people dare not vent their anger.

Shao Xing on one side was directing and adjusting the artillery.Shao Xing did not participate in the First Battle of Xijing, and the artillery was fired, but it has not been used yet.

After a long time, Shao Xing came to Wang Xiaolie's side.Said: "Xuanfu, the cannon has been adjusted."

Wang Xiaolie said, "Why is it taking so long?"

Shao Xing said: "There is no way. It was transported to Hezhong Mansion for a long distance, and many guns were broken on the road. The gun mount was easy to use at first, but it was easy to break after traveling a lot on the road. I heard from Cao Zhiyan's people that they More guns were broken. And not only the gun mounts are fragile, but the more guns are fired, the more the chambers are blown.”

Wang Xiaolie sighed: "For a new weapon, you have to actually use it before you know what's wrong. When we were in Dengzhou, we thought that we had tested it many times and the artillery was very mature. It's really used in actual combat. Only then did I realize that there are many problems. In real wars, such as the artillery regiment of the Chinese army, [-]% of the cannons are broken.

After finishing speaking, Wang Xiaolie pointed to a half-collapsed part of the city wall and said: "The city wall at that place has collapsed. But after I looked at it for a while, I found that the intact city wall below is very strong and not suitable for shelling. It's not far there, you see, although the other place hasn't collapsed, the bottom is already loose. You order the artillery to aim and bomb there."

Shao Xing took out the binoculars and looked at it for a while, Gao claimed it was.

As the sun rose, Zhao Bin stood on the city wall and could already see the Song Army outside.The flag is not deceiving, these troops are indeed from the Hezhong Mansion, which shocked Zhao Bin.Seeing that the Song army had a neat lineup, Zhao Bin was hesitant to send troops out of the city to harass him.

The so-called defense of the city is not that there is really no way, no one will hide in the city and not go out.If you don't leave the city, you have given up the initiative in the war, and you can only be attacked by the enemy.Whether to fight or not to fight, the enemy has the final say.The normal approach should be to look at the enemy's gaps in the city and keep going out of the city to harass.Even if only a few dozen people go out of the city to attack, it will cause great damage to the enemy army.

At this moment, Lieutenant General Ying pointed to the Song Army outside the city and said, "Zhizhou, what is that? I heard that the Song Army in the First World War in Shanzhou had a kind of cannon, which was extremely powerful. One cannon blocked the gate of the city, and one person I can’t get out either. Moreover, this cannon is so powerful that if it is fired, the city wall will collapse. Isn’t that the cannon in front?”

Zhao Bin looked at it intently.Not far from the city, there was a row of ten large carts, each with a large brass pipe, facing the city wall.There was a fire next to the car, and an iron bar stuck into the fire for no apparent reason.

I have seen many stone cannons, but Zhao Bin has never seen cannons.Seeing these strange things, I hesitated for a while.

Suddenly, a soldier next to the artillery suddenly raised a small flag in his hand and slammed it down.At the same time, he shouted: "Let go!"

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers beside the cannon took out the red-hot iron bars and inserted them into the cannon.

It can be seen with the naked eye that the iron bullets came out of the gun muzzle, and they seemed to fly unhappily, but they hit the city wall all at once.I just felt a sudden shaking under my feet, and a section of the city wall collapsed.Zhao Bin was scared out of his wits and didn't know what to do.

The artillerymen outside the city inserted iron bars into the fire, while the artillerymen on the other side quickly loaded gunpowder and iron bullets.

Zhao Bin stood on the city wall, looking out of the city foolishly.Gunpowder smoke rose from the cannon, and the sight blurred the lake for a while.Not long after, the smell of gunpowder also came from the city.

Before Zhao Bin could react, the soldiers in command raised the small flag again and swung it down.

This time Zhao Bin learned well, and when he saw the cannonballs coming out, he hurriedly hid under the parapet in front of him.

As the ground on the city wall shook, a section of the city wall fell down, and the houses inside were clearly visible.

Shao Xing said: "Xuanfu, do you want to rush into the city?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Wait a minute. The city of Tongzhou is so bad, let's fire a few more shots. Make the gap bigger and it will be easier to attack the city."

Shao Xing said yes.Order the artillery to aim at the surrounding area of ​​the collapsed city wall and continue to fire.

Since the artillery did not appear, the city walls of this era are different from those of the later Ming and Qing Dynasties.It was built with earth, without bricks on the outside, and it was not built well.Under normal circumstances, a few shots in a row can knock down the city wall.The city wall of Tongzhou was much damaged, and it was even more unable to stop the bombardment of artillery.Before long, most of the east wall collapsed.

Standing on the tower, Zhao Bin felt dizzy and didn't know what to do for a while.The city wall can't stop the Song army, what should we do?Fighting with Song Jun?My subordinates really don't have that kind of courage.Surrender?How can that work?
Wang Xiaolie looked at the sun in the east, and it had already jumped into the air.The weather at the end of May is already a bit hot and dry.Said to Shao Xing who was eager to try: "Half the city wall has collapsed. Don't wait any longer, go to Tongzhou City!"

Shao Xing sang his promise loudly.Command the handsome flag behind him to point directly at Tongzhou City.

Without hesitation, Xue Cheng of the former army drew out his iron mace, shouted sharply, and led his men to kill directly at the gap in the city wall.

The Haogou outside had already been filled, and the Song army was unstoppable, marching into Tongzhou in a neat formation.

When attacking, which army is the main attack, which army is the secondary attack, which army is the auxiliary, and which army is the reinforcement, Wang Xiao's hunting army can clearly distinguish.The so-called war plan means that each army is assigned tasks.The commander knows exactly what to do in war.

War missions are not immutable.When the commander finds a fighter plane, he can change the plan, and he doesn't even need to ask his superiors when it's too late.However, whenever a mission is not carried out as planned, the commander must be held accountable.Whether it is good or bad is decided by the higher-level headquarters.

When the Song Army fought in the past, there was often confusion of responsibilities on the battlefield.One army rushed out, while the rest sat idle.A certain part is attacked intensively by the enemy, and other troops do not come to rescue.The coach is often the first to rush up, causing the entire army to lose command.Wang Xiaolie summed up his experience and lessons, and he was very strict about commanding the battlefield.The important content that junior officers learn in the military academy is battlefield command.

The puppet army in the city had already been frightened out of their wits. Seeing the Song army rushing into the city, they rushed desperately towards the west gate of the city.

Wang Xiaolie said to Shao Xing: "Heaven has the virtue of loving life, and ordered our people not to chase after them. Those who are destined to escape Luoshui, let them go. The generals must not let go of the puppet army who defected to the enemy. There is no need to kill all the soldiers. If the superiors surrender, the soldiers below will be innocent!"

Shao Xing said yes.

Tongzhou is located at the bend of Luoshui River, facing the river in the west, north and south.Even if they escape from Tongzhou City, how many people can really escape?

(The other two updates will be later, sorry.)
