Southern Song Dynasty military god

Chapter 573 Fighting to break the sky, the five parties fall
The intense artillery fire stunned everyone in the entire city!
Those cannons that sprayed out tongues of flame continuously smashed the shells filled with gunpowder on the city wall one after another. On the city gate, gorgeous sparks bloomed one after another, accompanied by the city wall. The trembling is the panic of the whole city!
"What weapon is this?"

"Why is there such a terrifying power?"

"Could it be that Gao Chong is a demon, otherwise how could he be so scary?" Various thoughts and ideas are passed on among Xixia people, but what all Xixia people really care about is how long the city can last !
Although Liu Jiajun's offensive method is unprecedented, as a defensive side, it stands to reason that they should not just defend to the death, but should seek opportunities to attack!
Although the tactics are like this, it does not mean that in the actual battle, it must be solved according to the method in the textbook. Just like now, the thunderous cannons have never stopped since the beginning, and the successive explosions are even worse. Is it because the Xixia soldiers guarding the city completely lost the confidence to persevere, and even the will has been defeated, and they are still counting on them to take the initiative to go out of the city to attack Liu's army?
And Gao Chong is not in a hurry at all, since he has already given the task to the artillery regiment, let the artillery regiment decide when they can stop the shelling, that's fine.

In fact, even though Gao Chong brought [-] cannons this time, it does not mean that these [-] cannons can shoot continuously. Due to the limitation of metallurgical technology, the cannons mass-produced by the Central Republic of China now have barrels that are under pressure. After firing more than ten rounds in a row, it needs to cool down.

This kind of cooling cannot be done by splashing water on it. The barrel cannot withstand excessive thermal expansion and contraction, and it will be deformed so that it cannot be fired.

Therefore, the heat dissipation of the gun barrel is still very important for today's cannons. It must be manually fanned to the side of the gun barrel to cool down. This process is not only troublesome, but also very time-consuming.Therefore, the commander of the artillery regiment did not let all the gates fire at the same time, but let the ten cannons go into battle in turn, with intermittent rest, so that the shelling would not stop midway.

As far as the city of Xixia is concerned, the height and thickness of the city walls are not considered to be the pinnacle of this era. After all, due to the constraints of various conditions, the city built by the Xixia people still cannot be compared with the people of the Song Dynasty.

In terms of technological level and craftsman's skills, there is indeed no nation in today's world that can compare with the Song people. If it weren't for such a court, Jin Guo wanted to take advantage of the Song people. easy thing.

The city walls are weak, let alone the city gates.

At first, the commander of the artillery regiment thought that the city of Xixia could be destroyed only after all thirty cannons were fired, but unexpectedly, each cannon had not been fired ten times. The stuffed gate burst into pieces. It was obvious that the wooden gate could not withstand the continuous bombardment, and the simple filling made it the weakest link in the city, so it was the first to be broken by the artillery fire!

It stands to reason that the gate of the city has been broken, and there will be no artillery regiment in the future, but because Gao Chong's order is to completely destroy the Xixia people's real city and the city in their hearts, so the artillery regiment The commander was also happy to continue firing, regardless of the city gate that had been opened, the continuous artillery continued to greet the past, and the earth-shattering explosions were still deafening.

"How to do how to do?"

The Xixia defenders in the city felt that they were about to collapse. The Liu Jiajun's new firearms were too powerful. Without moving a single soldier, they opened the city gate in a daze. It's like giving up when it collapses!
In fact, this is also a trick of Gao Chong.

As I said before, because of the small number of soldiers and heavy tasks, Gao Chong couldn’t gradually invade the land and cities of Xixia Kingdom. His best way was to directly kill the capital of Xixia Kingdom, destroy the orthodoxy of the Xixia Dynasty, and thus end the Xixia Dynasty , As for the so-called "Xixia" people, when the dynasty and orthodoxy no longer exist, how can there be Xixia people?
For these cities in front of him, Gao Chong's idea is very simple, anyway, he will not want it, so it is better to destroy it completely, lest the Xixia people still have the intention of rebuilding.This idea was not thought up by Gao Chong before he set off, but a conclusion he came up with little by little on the way to Xixia. Although he did not discuss this idea with Liu Wei, he believed that Liu Wei would also Agree with him on this point.

Maybe some old-fashioned generals will object to Gao Chong's doing this. After all, winning a complete city is still very important to the Central Republic of China, at least it can save a lot of repair costs, but the fact is that in Liu Wei's plan Among them, there is no need to build any cities on the land occupied in the future. No matter how strict the Central Republic of China enacts firearms secrecy measures, they can only be kept for a while, not forever. Since firearms will be popular all over the world sooner or later, So what's the use of continuing to build cities that can only play a defensive role in the era of cold weapons?
Thinking about the future generations, a real military power will definitely not be busy building fortifications on its own territory. It is the right way to ignite the flames of war on the enemy's territory.

It's just that Liu Wei's advanced thoughts are rarely known even in the Central Republic of China. Only people who are extremely close like Gao Chong will occasionally hear some stories like the Arabian Nights from Liu Wei's mouth. discourse.

At the beginning, even Gao Yuniang didn't believe what Liu Wei said, such as iron boats that can travel on water, iron oxen that can move forward by boiling water, but when firearms were considered toys at first After the things gradually became the main armament of the Liu family army, what Liu Wei said got the attention of Gao Yuniang and others.

Of course, Liu Wei didn't dare to say too much. After all, his identity as a time traveler can never be revealed, and no one can say it.

Although Liu Wei didn't know what would happen after he said it, he had a faint feeling that once he said it, something bad would happen.

When the city gate was pierced through, the rest of the city wall seemed to be boneless, and without being shot a few times, a section of the city wall wobbled and collapsed.

The collapse of the city wall is not the effect of the city gate being pierced. For the Xixia people, especially those who are near the collapsed city wall, it is like the sky falling and the earth falling apart. Some people have never tasted such a taste in their entire lives!

The huge sound, the feeling of the mountains shaking and the ground shaking, and the smoke and dust rising into the sky, for those who don't know what's inside, it's as terrifying as the sky falling!
"it is good!"

Although Gao Chong stood far away, his eyesight was excellent. Even if it was blocked by smoke and dust, he could still see that when the city wall collapsed, there were still many Xixia soldiers or generals standing on the city wall. The city wall collapsed together!

Those helpless people screamed, struggled, and were at a loss, or were ordered to close their eyes.Gao Chong couldn't see these details, he could only vaguely see a figure falling down like a dumpling, but this was enough, what he wanted was this effect, what he wanted was to pass this Fighting, let all Xixia people, and even the whole world know that no city is safe in front of the Liu family army, no matter how tall and majestic the city is, it is as fragile as an egg in front of the Liu family army.

At this moment, Liu Jiajun's emotions are also excited!

Siege, as the attacking party, had to suffer great battle losses in the past, especially the first and second batches of charge, they were often referred to as "death squads", that is to say, the first batch of charge Yes, only a very few people with good luck, strong kung fu, and high skills can survive, and among them, "good luck" still ranks first. In the chaotic scene of siege, no matter how good kung fu is, No matter how high your skills are, you may not be able to guarantee that you will survive.

However, for the Liu family army, this kind of cruel siege battle is gone forever!
Thirty cannons, just [-] cannons are not an overloaded attack, they can easily tear apart the defense of this city, and there is no need for soldiers to gamble with their lives, what could be better than this?

The cheers of more than 2 people even surpassed the sound of the city wall collapsing in an instant. As for the Xixia people in the city, whether they were the army or the common people, they were completely speechless at this time. What Chong said not long ago, which they regarded as a madman's raving, turned into reality, and it was only in such a short time, less than an hour, it was simply unacceptable!

"Brothers, the city gate has been opened, what should we do next?"

The Paotuan fulfilled its mission and became popular in the first show. Gao Chong was also excited!After he signaled to the commander of the artillery regiment, the artillery was put on the carriage again and pulled away. Gao Chong came to the still hot ground and pointed the tiger-headed golden gun at the dilapidated city again!

"Kill in, kill in!"

The morale of Liu Jiajun has reached the highest point at this moment!Every soldier is roaring crazily, the strong desire to charge into the city has already made them impatient!

"Then what are you waiting for, kill with me!"

Gao Chong, who took the lead, turned his horse's head and rushed towards the open gate of the city. Behind him were the personal guards, and then the musketeers.

Of course, for the sake of convenience, the first group of soldiers rushed into the city, almost all of them were infantry, and the cavalry had to bear the responsibility of breaking the rear, and the Xixia people could not always copy the rear.
