The Jin army besieged the city, and the Song emperor’s daughter died

Chapter 197

One hour seems like a year of suffering.

On the southern wall of Taiyuan City, where the bombardment was concentrated, the outer layer of green bricks had fallen off, exposing the rammed earth inside. Under the constant bombardment of huge rocks, the rammed earth that was originally stuck in one place had become loose. Collapse, large chunks of dark yellow rammed earth scattered and fell from the city wall.

Although the Song and Jin armies have not yet had a fierce collision and charge, everyone can feel that the tight string is about to break.

"General Yue!" Zhang Xiaochun pointed at the city wall tremblingly.

Looking at the dilapidated city wall that had been bombarded, Yue Fei's face was still as stable as a mountain, but his heart was already overturned, and he was even a little panicked.

In his expectation, the bombardment of the city had reached this level. In addition to the heavy infantry waiting for the bombardment like hungry wolves hunting, the assault infantry used to climb the city should have moved towards the five filled-in moats. The purpose is to climb onto the city and fight when the heavy infantry rushes in, thereby distracting the defensive forces of the city defenders.

It’s long past time for the city-climbing equipment such as skytrains and pedestrian bridges to be put on display.

In addition, the battering ram cannot rest. It must at least make a show of giving a little bit of deterrence to the Song army who is trying to rush out.

It's not that Wanyan Zonghan doesn't know how to attack cities.

On the contrary, as the first generation of Jin Kingdom's bright and experienced generals who have experienced hundreds of battles, Wanyan Zonghan will not fight alone.

He was also waiting at this time, waiting for the reaction of the Song army defending the city.

Just like an experienced hunter, he will never reveal all his methods before the prey reacts, because in the current situation, he only needs to see the tricks.

He has even begun to think about it from his perspective. If he were the commander-in-chief of the Taiyuan Song Army at this time, how would he deal with the situation in front of him?
Either let the sunken artillery bombard them wantonly, or risk sending cavalry into the sunken artillery array.

After thinking for a long time, Wanyan Zonghan seemed to understand the Song army's strategic intention: to fight hand to hand!

Because when Wanyan Zonghan thought about it, the current situation was almost unsolvable for the Song Army.

The twin cannons equipped by the Song Army, even at the top of the city, are unable to effectively attack the sinking artillery array, and cannot prevent the bombardment of the sinking artillery at all. The Song Army's Fangzi Crossbow, which currently has the longest range, is the only available weapon at present. .

But the bed crossbow...

In Wanyan Zonghan's opinion, that was a joke.

The range is far enough and can be compared with the Jin Army's siege light artillery, but the lethality and rate of fire are not the same.

A stone bullet or fireball can cause damage in a small area, especially if it is used to hit materials and equipment, it can be said to be a hit.

However, the Fangzi Crossbow shoots only a large arrow. Apart from sniping down Liao general Xiao Taolin from a very long distance, it has little practical significance. Especially the Fangzi Crossbow has a slow rate of fire due to its cumbersome operation. After three rounds of cannon damage, the crossbow can only fire one round.

If you dare to push the bed crossbow to the top of the city at this time, you will be a living target.

Anyway, if I were a general of the Song Army, I would never use it now. It is estimated that before the shot is fired, it will be smashed to pieces by the Jin Army's light cannon.

In addition to this, the only way the Song Army can now contain the attack of the Shen Pao Formation is to open the city gate and send out cavalry, rush into the Shen Cannon Formation and destroy the artillery machine.

But if Song Jun really did this, Wanyan Zonghan would be so happy that he wanted to say hello to Song Jun happily across the moat: "You're here, brother?"

After all, the Jin Army's cavalry is not just a decoration. It is fully capable of protecting the heavy artillery formation from the Song Army's cavalry.

Therefore, the reason why the Song Army has not taken any action at the moment, Wanyan Zonghan thinks, is because they have no choice but to retain their remaining strength, wait for a gap in the city wall, and engage in a hand-to-hand street battle with the Jin Army's heavy armored infantry.

Wanyan Zonghan could even imagine that behind the city wall at this time, the Song Army had assembled a large number of troops and was just waiting for the city wall to collapse.

After understanding this, Wanyan Zonghan finally let down his guard. He wanted to fight a comprehensive victory with all-round crushing. There would be no equal match, let alone back-and-forth. He wanted to make the entire defense line of the Song Army collapse: the city gates, the city Heads, gaps in the collapsed city walls, every place must be breached.Only in this way can the power of the Song army be dispersed to the maximum extent, making it difficult for them to take care of themselves.

"The order!"

Wanyan Zonghan, who had been silent for an hour, suddenly said in a deep voice: "Stop the bombardment of light artillery."

"The assault infantry is gathering below the city and preparing to board the city!"

"Commander, the last general is calling for a fight!" At this time, an old-looking young man next to Wanyan Zonghan reined in his horse and asked for a fight with clasped fists.As the saying goes, a tiger father has no dog son, and this boy is the eldest son of Wanyan Lou's family, Wanyan's lively daughter.

He joined the army at the age of 17 and has experienced hundreds of battles. Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda praised him for his unparalleled combat prowess during his lifetime.

This time when Wanyan Zonghan went south to destroy the Song Dynasty, Wanyan Huonv was holding back a breath of bad breath. As for where the anger came from?Of course, the last battle in Taiyuan was a failure.

Although I didn't dare to be angry that Wanyan Zongwang was manipulated by a female official of the Song Dynasty, forcing the Western Route Army to withdraw, ruining his good opportunity to make contributions, but since that time, he has had feelings for the female official of the Song Dynasty whom he had never met before. Inexplicable hatred.

He has already thought about it. If Taiyuan and Kaifeng can be defeated this time, he must be the first to enter the Song Dynasty Palace, tie up the female official, strip her clothes and lead the female official around ten times. Eight laps!

The bad taste of a middle school boy is so simple and unpretentious.

"Wanyanhuonu obeys orders!"

"Lead [-] troops and a battering ram to attack the South City Gate head-on."

"The end will be ordered!"

Wanyan Huonv was about to leave when Wanyan Lou's room guarding the central army stopped him again: "Son, be the first to rush in!"

Wanyan Huonu patted her chest: "Dad, don't worry!"

……

……

Seeing the Jin army's formation, various ministries began to mobilize, and all kinds of siege equipment were pushed to the front army. Yue Fei on the hot air balloon finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Prefect Zhang, take a look."

After that, Yue Fei lowered his head and shouted: "Double silk cannon, fire!"

As soon as the messenger at the top of the city heard this, Sayazi ran towards the bottom of the city, shouting as he ran: "Double silk cannon, fire!"

Another messenger received the order and continued to run towards the already gearing up Shuangqiao artillery formation: "General Yue ordered, fire!"

In front of the double gun array, the officers from the Song Academy of Sciences looked extremely calm. They turned to the gunners behind them and said, "Don't be nervous. Relax. Just follow the training before and follow the order to light the fire again. That, that, that, Huo Zhezi is extinguished first, do you want to die?"

"Listen to my password"

"Bounce!"

Following the order of the section officer, the gunners in the double-twisted artillery formation carefully took out the thunderbolt bullets from the box, gently placed them on the tray of the double-twisted artillery, and carefully stroked them five or six inches. Long leads.

"Blow fire!"

Everyone blew out the fire sticks in their hands and waited with bated breath for the next command.

"The first group fires up!"

Dozens of thunderbolts instantly burst into flames.

The officer counted silently in his mind: "One, two, three, four...eight, nine, the first group is released!"

"Second Group Ignition"

"One, two, three... put the second group!"
