Water Margin farming to become powerful

Zeng Sheng quietly observed the situation below the city. When the enemy troops came two hundred steps below the city, he let the muzzle rest for a while, removed the heat from the muzzle, replaced it with iron sand and a larger amount of powder, and fired directly at the city. The remaining offensive troops carried out strafing rounds.

Now the artillery produced in Dengzhou can withstand it. With a relatively large charge, at a distance of two hundred steps and a height of more than ten meters, the kinetic energy to help the iron sand fly out is enough to kill the soldiers under the city wall. Blast to death.

And this kind of bombardment has no blind spots at all. More than a dozen cannons are deployed on the city wall. At a distance of two hundred steps, the scattering size of the shot fired from the muzzle has already covered no blind spots.

When Sun Xin designed such a strategy, he was thinking of the Battle of Jinzhou where Yuan Chonghuan defended Jinzhou in the late Ming Dynasty.

Even the Houjin army, which already had considerable combat experience with thermal weapons, was beaten to the point of crying when they encountered the row of Hongyi cannons, let alone the Jurchens who had never seen thermal weapons bombarded them.

As the Jurchen supervising the battle was taller than the others on the horse, such an obvious target couldn't withstand shotguns even if it was wearing armor?

The shotgun blasts that penetrated their bodies and limbs were enough to cause them to bleed to death.

There were many gaps in the armor of the war horses under their crotches. Iron sand penetrated through the gaps, instantly killing the horses or beating them until they ran neighing on the battlefield, no longer listening to their masters' orders.

Dozens of Jurchens who were at least supervising the battle were wiped out in an instant, and the morale of the Khitan people they supervised fell to the bottom.

At first, the surrender troops behind one or two vehicles began to retreat, but later it turned into a huge rout that could not be stopped.

Wanyan Zongbi, Zhang Xuan and others were also stunned when they saw this scene from far behind the battlefield.They originally thought that selecting a team of nearly 1000 people to attack the city would at least achieve some results, but they did not expect that these people were beaten back without even touching the city walls and trenches.

They even left all the vehicles and other things made by the team at the gate of the city.

Those artillery pieces on the city wall gave Wanyan Zongbi a strong psychological shock.

Zhang Xuan looked at him with horror. According to Wanyan Zongbi's order, he was the leader of the second batch of siege battles.

"Sixth prince, this..."

Wanyan Zongbi gritted his teeth and ordered: "The soldiers who come next will continue to press on me. Anyone who dares to escape from the battle will be killed without mercy!"

Zhang Xuan's heart suddenly went cold. He knew that no matter what he said, there was no way he could affect Wanyan Zongbi's decision. He could only lead his subordinates to the battlefield cautiously.

Wanyan Zongbi distributed the wine to Zhang Xuan and all the soldiers in his hand, asking everyone to drink up and charge upward while their bodies were warm.

Zhang Xuan and others didn't eat much at noon, and they were already scared. At this time, everyone already regretted why they had to follow this group of Jurchens to the supervisory committee's base for adventure.

While Zhang Xuan and others were drinking tremblingly, they saw Wanyan Zongbi waving, and more than 100 Jurchen cavalry slowly came to both sides of their team.

Everyone looked at the bright white swords in their hands and knew that these people were here to supervise the battle. They all knew that as long as any of them had the intention to retreat, the saber would be cut directly on their necks.

For Wanyan Zongbi, there was no pressure to make such a decision.

To Wanyan Zongbi, the most valuable thing among the remaining 2 troops was his [-] Meng'an.Although most of the food and grass were lost, the remaining food was enough for his four men to return safely.

The food and grass are not enough to feed and drink the 2-strong army. Even if he turns around and goes back directly, these 2-strong surrendered troops will still run away if they starve on the way back. It is better to put these 2-strong troops under Wanping County now. Use it up.

This time, together with Zhang Xuan's team, a total of more than 4000 people were organized to charge towards Wanping County again.

The defenders on the city wall were equally frightened as they looked at the surging crowd.

Zeng Sheng was in charge of commanding the artillery on the city wall. He swallowed and said in a calm voice: "Prepare the artillery positions..."

Seeing the people under the city wall gradually charging towards here, in order to prevent the cannons on the city wall from becoming red and overheating and causing an explosion accident, they began to fire in turns.

More than 1000 of the more than 300 people who charged just now ran back. Just when Zhang Xuan and the others were rushed to the battlefield, all these 300 people were pressed down by the Jurchens and chopped down one by one next to their outgoing team. head.

The rolling head, with its eyes still wide open, rolled next to Zhang Xuan's legs, frightening him so much that he jumped to the side.

Wanyan Zongbi had a stern look on his face. He knew that this was the most terrifying shock to these surrendering troops, letting them know what would happen to them if they also retreated.

Zhang Xuan slowly moved behind and followed the others.

I was already frightened just now when I looked at the situation on the battlefield from a distance, but now when I really started to charge up, I saw all the broken shield vehicles and strings of intestines and rotten corpses passing by. The troops surrendered in miserable condition.

Zhang Xuan was not wearing iron armor, and the soldiers next to him were only wearing leather armor. They had armor, but Wanyan Zongbi specifically asked them to take off their armor before going to the battlefield.

This clearly told Zhang Xuan and the others that they were there to fill in the lines. Wanyan Zongbi only hoped that they could successfully send the shield cart to the bottom of the city wall, and then consume the arrows of the defenders on the wall.

Wanyan Zongbi had no hope that they would be able to attack the city, so naturally there was no need to equip them with armor for cold-weapon combat after climbing the city.

The battlefield was full of corpses and broken wooden chopsticks. The cold wind was howling in the ice and snow, and the Jurchens who were following them kept shouting in their ears, asking everyone to walk faster. Zhang Xuan and others Walking around feels like walking in hell.

At this time, the rhythmic sound of cannons on the city wall sounded like a classic death song. Along with the sound of cannons, flying iron bullets hit the team.

After only running a few steps, Zhang Xuan could see that the shields they held in their hands and the various defensive tools they had hurriedly built had no effect at all.

Two of his soldiers held quilts covered with snow and loess and placed them on top of the shield vehicle. When the artillery shells came, they did not penetrate the quilts. The shells were embedded in the shield plate of the shield vehicle, and the huge The impact directly drove the car back dozens of steps. In an instant, half of the soldiers hiding behind the car were crushed to death by the car. Several other soldiers had their hands and feet crushed by the wheels and fell on the battlefield. Wail.

As they got closer to the city wall, the lethality of the artillery became greater. Half of Zeng Sheng's artillerymen were firing, and the other half were pre-adjusting the position of the muzzle, preparing to wait until the enemy came to the preset distance of the muzzle before firing the artillery. Such intersections harvest the lives of the sinking chargers bit by bit.

When Zhang Xuan and others rushed to only [-] steps away from the city wall, their ears were filled with cries. The Jurchens who had been following them and killing deserters finally couldn't stop them, and some people began to drop their shields and run away.
