Chapter 1190 Artillery repulse

The northwest wind suddenly rose, and large dark clouds came from the northwest.

"Dark clouds are pressing down on the city, and the city is about to be destroyed. The armor's light opens towards the golden scales of the sun. The sound of the horn fills the autumn sky, and the swallow's fat condenses the night purple. A half-rolled red flag faces the Yishui, and the frost is heavy and the cold drum can't make any sound. Repay the king with gold The purpose of the stage is to guide the Jade Dragon to die for you."

Zongze stood at the top of the city and sighed as he looked at the black clouds approaching.

"General Zong is so talented in writing, but the word "death" at the end is not good!"

Wang Jin looked at Zong Ze with a smile and said, Sun Lei doesn't like the word death, so they don't like the word death. Isn't it good for everyone to live happily?

"Soldiers must have the ambition to regard death as returning home!"

Zongze didn't think so. He felt that the last word of death was the spirit that a soldier should have.

"General Zong, I came back from a hell trip. I know very well what death is, but only after facing death do I know how precious life is!"

Wang Jin spoke calmly.

"We have these new weapons, so winning won't be easy!"

Wu Song laughed and said, and patted the artillery next to him. These were new artillery that had just arrived. They were much more powerful than the previous ones and had enough shells. It was impossible for the enemy to get close to them with these things.

Liu Fa said nonchalantly.

The north wind howled, dark clouds pressed over the city, and the temperature dropped quickly, followed by snowflakes, and soon the ground was dyed white with heavy snowflakes.

"How did this recipe get spread?"

Zhang Shuye said, the carts behind the trebuchet should be gunpowder.

Liu Fa held a grenade and said, he likes this thing very much. It is almost a melee weapon. It can be used to defend the city and kill all enemies.

"This trebuchet!"

"Ha ha!"

Zongze frowned, and the range could be seen from the arm length of the trebuchet.

Wang Jin and others all laughed. Qi State brought them enough supplies to last them for a whole year. There would be no problem in dealing with Jin State for a few months.

"How big is this trebuchet? The throwing distance is probably one or two miles!"

Wang Jin and others had already seen the Jin Army's equipment with telescopes.

Huge trebuchets were pushed out, followed by carriages.

"I think the enemy is not simple. The enemy has been facing us for so long without any backup."

"I think if I put the enemy closer, I can kill them with these explosions!"

Zhang Shuye said, since the last time Du Bo killed someone, there has been no movement in the Kingdom of Jin. This kind of calmness made him feel a little uneasy.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. As long as we are fully prepared, we won't be afraid of any tricks they may play."

The heavy snow stopped, the temperature dropped sharply, the horn sounded in the Jin camp, and the Jin army lined up to leave the camp.

Liu Fa was a little indignant. Gunpowder was an undisclosed secret in the Central Plains, so how could it become a weapon in the hands of foreigners?

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

It snowed heavily for three days in a row, and there was a thick layer of snow on the ground.

"We also made a lot of gunpowder! There are loads of them! It seems that we have been preparing for this during this period."

"It's not a secret. Folk fireworks are everywhere, and the recipes are pretty much the same. With a little improvement, they can be turned into weapons!"

Zongze shook his head and said, he also knew about gunpowder, and the configuration was actually not very complicated.

"Then let's see whose gunpowder is more powerful!"

Du Bo looked at the enemy in the distance and said. The snow was two feet thick at this time. They couldn't go out to fight in this environment. However, this environment did not have much impact on the Jurchens. They were already used to it. .

Wanyan Wu Qimai looked at the silent Liaoyang Mansion and frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty, let's fight!"

Jin Wushu couldn't wait to fight. "Why is there no movement from the enemy? They were still shoveling snow yesterday!"

Wanyan Yinshuke frowned and said, there were often activities on the enemy's city when they were silent, but when they came out, the enemy made no movement at all.

"Your Majesty, the enemy has always been cunning. This is probably a bluff. Now that the Liao River has been frozen, it is impossible for the enemy to have supplies within five months."

Wanyan Yanmu spoke.

"Hit with the trebuchet first!"

Wanyan Wu Qimai looked at Liaoyang Mansion for a while before speaking.

"Trebuchet forward!"

Jin Wushu was overjoyed and gave orders to the soldiers with an angry roar.

Trebuchets were pushed in front of the military formation, a full two miles away from Liaoyang Mansion.

"At such a long distance, the enemy's bed crossbow can't hit it at all!"

Jin Wushu sneered in his heart. This trebuchet is their latest large trebuchet. Its ultimate range can reach two miles. It can be regarded as the longest range trebuchet in the world.

"Boom boom boom!"

Just when Jin Wushu was proud, there was a sudden sound of artillery in Liaoyang Mansion, and a row of artillery shells hit the front of the Jin Army's formation. The shells exploded when they hit the front of the formation, and the front of the Jin Army's formation instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Jin Wushu had no time to react. He followed up from the trebuchet, and the air wave from the explosion of the shell directly blew him and his horse away.

"Protect Your Majesty!"

Wanyan Yinshuke and Wanyan Yanmu shouted and led people to escort them in front of Wanyan Wu's begging.

"Boom boom boom!"

The artillery did not stop. The first round was completed, and then the second round came again. The Jin army that had just been stunned was bombarded by artillery again.

"This artillery!"

Wanyan Wu Qimai's face was livid. He also ordered people to study the artillery. Unfortunately, the technical content of the artillery was too high. The artillery they introduced early was weak in power and short in range, and had no actual combat capabilities at all.

"Your Majesty, please retreat further!"

Wanyan Yinshuke quickly took the guards to protect Wanyan Wu and retreated while begging for money.

Round after round of artillery fire directly drove the Jin soldiers to flight. A large amount of snow was lifted up by the impact of the explosion, turning it into a white mist.

"They are all made of flesh and blood, and they have not been beaten very much!"

Du Bo looked at the retreating enemy and sneered, nothing is invincible and nothing is invincible.

"This is an information gap. The enemy does not know that our artillery has such a long range."

Zongze said.

"How does General Zong think the enemy will use to attack the city?"

Wang Jin looked at Zongze and asked.

"The Jin people are not stupid. Knowing that with such powerful artillery, the enemy will no longer form a large array outside the city. They will probably break into pieces and attack the city from all directions. In this way, the artillery will not be such a big threat. ”

Zongze shook his head and said, although artillery is powerful, it is still a weapon and there is always a way to break it.

"Break it into parts?"

Everyone frowned, but this way they could avoid the threat of artillery. What artillery likes most is when enemies get together. One shot can blow up a whole piece, but if the enemy is broken into pieces, the lethality of the artillery will be sharply reduced.

"Then let the enemy get closer. Let's use this to greet them. We won't be afraid of him breaking into pieces!"

Liu Fa weighed the grenade in his hand. The shells were very powerful, so they were not suitable for sporadic battles, but he was not afraid of grenades. This thing had a short range, low power, and was easy to operate, so it was suitable for sporadic battles.
