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

Chapter 198

Among the huge rocks thrown by the Jin Army's sinking artillery, no one paid attention to the dozen or so small things the size of bowls that suddenly flew out of Taiyuan City.

In the heavy artillery formation, an elderly Jin Jun veteran squinted his eyes, looked at the flying thunderbolts and said to a young Jin Jun next to him: "Don't be afraid, just these flying rocks can't hurt you." …”

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Before the veteran finished speaking, the young Jin Jun's ears were almost deafened by the thunderous thunderclap above his head, leaving only buzzing white noise in his head.

Almost at the same moment, one of the eyes of the veteran less than half a foot away from him was bloody and bloody, and the eyeball seemed to explode.

Young Jin Jun could only see the veteran's face twisted in pain, covering his face with his hands, but even so, blood could not stop spurting out from between his fingers.

As far as the eye can see, half of the gunners who were filling rocks and busy with the winch just now have fallen to the ground, some are motionless, and some are lying on the ground, twisting their bodies, as if they are enduring great pain. .

Before the young Jin Jun had time to think about how all this happened, or even have time to rejoice that he was lucky enough not to be injured, he saw a dark iron ball, dragging a burning tail, landing less than a dozen meters away from him. inch, and then rolled gurglingly under the gun carriage.

"It's great that it didn't hit me."

This was the last thought of this young Jin Jun's life.

"boom!"

The huge sunken cannon seemed to be lifted up from the ground by something, bounced up, and then fell apart. The thick, iron-wrapped wood hit hard against another sunken cannon next to it. One of the legs was broken, and it swayed. It was hanging on the destroyed tray that was originally used to hold the boulders, with blood dripping down from it.

The battlefield that was noisy and chaotic just now suddenly became eerily quiet. Even the war horses seemed to have been silenced. The only sound that could be heard was the two miserable cries of the sea turtle hanging in the air. Cry.

Wanyan Zonghan, who was sitting firmly in the center, Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Xiyin who were guarding him, Wanyan Huonv who had just crossed the moat and was approaching the south gate, the heavy armored infantry who had been gathering by the moat for a long time, The assault infantry preparing to board the city, and Wanyan Yinshu leading the cavalry to intersperse the guards...

Everyone looked at the Shen Pao Formation blankly.

Nobody knows what happened.

More than fifty heavy artillery pieces either fell apart or burned with raging fire and were just gone?

This is true for the Jin Army, and the same is true for the Song Army.

On the hot air balloon, Zhang Xiaochun, the prefect of Taiyuan, was stunned and murmured to himself: "Is it magic? Is it magic?"

Although Yue Fei knew that thunderbolt bombs were highly valued by officials and Han Shizhong and should be easy to use, even the scientific officer who came to Taiyuan City to provide technical support described the power of thunderbolt bombs to him, but he never thought of killing them. The force is so great and the range of damage is so wide.

The meticulous operations of the officers just now maximized the lethality of the thunderbolt bombs.

The first wave of thunderbolt bombs exploded three feet above the head, and the shrapnel spread over the widest range. Although it could not cause a devastating blow to the sinking artillery, it was like a goddess scattering flowers to the gunners in the sinking artillery formation. cover.

The second wave of thunderbolts took the time to land. Although there were less than twenty of them, each one was enough to blow up two cannons and then destroy more cannons.

This batch of thunderbolt bombs specially shipped to Taiyuan City by Han Shizhong is different from the explosive bombs used by Cao Yanchang Navy. In order to delay the explosion, the explosive bombs can only be filled with black powder, and the explosive power is limited. However, this batch of thunderbolt bombs can all It is filled with smokeless explosives made of nitrocellulose, and its explosive power is two or three times that of black powder.

Only in this way can the entire Shen Artillery Formation be wiped out in ashes so easily.

Wanyan Zonghan was the first to come to his senses. He originally wanted to order a retreat, but then he thought that he couldn't do this.

If they retreat at this time, the morale of the Jin army will be completely gone. In less than ten days and a half, there is no way they can organize another siege.He could only bite the bullet and order: "Attack the entire army! Attack the city!"

The battlefield that had been silent for a moment suddenly became lively again. The assault infantry that had been assembled on the moat rushed across the moat. The pedestrian bridge was also pushed up, and they climbed up to the city wall and began to climb the city.

Yang Zaixing, who had been ambushing on the west city wall, spat excitedly and shouted to the Song army behind him: "Go to the south city and defend the enemy!"

Suddenly, the west city wall became lively. Yang Zaixing took the lead in running towards the south city wall with two thousand crossbowmen. Before the Jin army climbed halfway up the overpass, arrows were already raining down from the top of the city. Jun could only climb up with difficulty while holding up his shield.

After all, the shield's protective surface is limited, and the crossbowmen defending the city will not stupidly shoot vertically. As long as they shoot from the side, the shield alone cannot prevent it.

The first wave of Jin troops who ascended the city were hit by arrows and fell like dumplings.

Not long after, the Jin Army's crossbowmen were in position. After finding the right angle, they fired thousands of arrows, providing fire cover for the infantry on the city, which greatly slowed down the frequency of the Song Army's arrows.

With the fire cover, the infantry ascending the city climbed significantly faster. Some of them had good physical strength and even reached the top of the city.

At this time, the Song Army infantry equipped with spears and knives came into use. They took advantage of the length of their weapons to stab or chop.

A golden soldier here had just climbed up to the top of the city with his hand, and the next second his entire arm was chopped off with a knife. The man had already fallen down while his arm was still hanging on the city wall.

As soon as the Jin Army's head over there passed the city head, they saw a spear stabbing towards the front door, and they fell on their backs like mud.

But as more and more pedestrian bridges were built, densely packed infantrymen climbed up the city one after another. Bows, crossbows, spears and knives alone were obviously not enough. Several Jin soldiers had already climbed up the city, slashing with swords. Killed several Song Army crossbowmen.

Fortunately, Yang Zaixing was not far away. He stabbed a few people with his spear, and then the danger was saved: "Hurry up and bring the supplies!"

Yang Zaixing turned his head and shouted towards the west wall.

The Song army behind them pushed a cart loaded with rolling stones, wood and kerosene, and hurried over.

With the supplies to defend the city, the situation of the battle was instantly reversed. Buckets of kerosene were poured down the Jin Army's Xingtian Bridge. When the rocket was aimed at the Xingtian Bridge, a fire dragon flew up and down. The Jin Army was halfway up. Those who were burned screamed, let go and fell, it was okay to fall into the moat, but those who fell under the city were burned alive.

Soon, the smell of barbecue filled the air.

It was not until this moment that the Jin Army's carriages were slowly pushed forward. The height of the carriages was slightly higher than the city wall. Each carriage was filled with archers of the Jin Army, heading towards the top of the city. The Song army fired fiercely. The archer equipped with a rocket looked at the location where the kerosene was piled and shot an arrow.

"boom!"

The kerosene barrel exploded, and a raging fire instantly broke out on the city wall.

The Song Army's defensive rhythm was disrupted in an instant. Taking advantage of this gap, more and more Jin Army climbed onto the city again.

Yang Zaixing raised his spear and led a team of elites to kill him.
