Chapter 80 Attack Setback

Two days later, Wenshen and Liu Fa led their army north to the city of Shunzhou. Shunzhou is the southern gate of Xingqing Prefecture, and its importance is self-evident. Shunzhou City is more than ten miles in circumference, with a wall of eight meters high, with four gates, southeast, west and northeast. Outside the city, there is a moat that is more than ten meters wide and five meters deep.

Liu Fa looked at the Shunzhou City in front of him and smiled, "I can't see that Western thieves can build such a big city. I'm afraid that some shells will be wasted this time." Wenshen looked at the densely packed Xixia soldiers on the city wall and said, "There are probably more than 100,000 Western thieves in this city." Liu Fa said, "It's only a lot. National Master, how can we fight this time? But this time the national master must arrange a position for me to fight, and every time I clean up the battlefield behind me, the lower part will have a lot of opinions on me."

Wen Shen smiled and said, "Okay, I'll arrange a position for you to fight this time." Liu Fa said excitedly, "Which location?" Wen Shen said, "I will send four battalions to block the four city gates and prevent the Western thieves from escaping. Each city gate will send two thousand people to defend our musketeers. If there are Western thieves who have missed the net, you can go up and kill him." Liu Fa said anxiously, "This mission is too much, right?" Wen Shen said, "Why are you not satisfied?" Liu Fa looked at Wen Shen's smiling face, and had no choice but to say, "Okay."

One hour later, ten heavy machinery and two hundred people were arranged in front of each city gate, and one thousand cavalry were wandering around on both sides. On a Gaogang, more than one mile away from Shunzhou City, six cannons were also set up and adjusted.

Wenshen came to the artillery position and said to Zhang Biao: "How are you adjusting? Don't fight. There are our people on the other side of the city. Of course, don't fight too close. There are our people on the other side of the city." In the past, there were only two or three gates in the city, and there were never people with four gates like this.

Zhang Biao patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, the councillor we have fired this gun for hundreds of times. We don't say where we point, but we are almost inseparable." Wen Shen laughed and said, "That's good. Are you ready?" Zhang Biao said, "You're ready, you can shoot at any time." Wen Shen said, "Then start."

Although Zhang Biao said there was no problem, Wenshen was still a little worried. It was not until after the first round of artillery attack that Wenshen saw the shells landing accurately into Shunzhou City, and then he felt relieved.

As the shells fell, the city of Shunzhou was in chaos. The huge explosion made many people who came to help the war look for a place to hide. The Xixia defenders on the city wall could only stare at the Song Dynasty army in the distance. Some archers tried to shoot arrows at the Song army in strange clothes in front of the city gate, but most of the arrows fell on the open space in front of the Song army. Occasionally, a few shot on the Song army, but they were actually bounced away, which made the Xia army stunned.

Wang Chao looked at the arrows bounced off by the bulletproof vest, and then looked at the Xixia soldiers who were shooting arrows standing on the city wall, and cursed angrily: "Grandma, you think I can't hit you when standing on the city wall." After cursing, he picked up his volley and shot at the soldiers on the top of the city. With a gunshot, a Xixia defender fell from the city wall. When the soldiers next to him saw the battalion commander fire, they all shot at the wall.

For a moment, gunfire sounded loudly, and the Xixia defenders on the top of the city were shot down under the city wall like ducks. Seeing that the situation was not good, the other defenders lay down and hid behind the city wall, not daring to show their heads. At the same time, they cursed in their hearts: "What the hell is this? It's so far, how can they fight this battle?"

The young governor of the tiger-backed and bear-waisted waist looked at the situation in front of him and then understood why Brother Cha was wiped out. This was not a battle for humans. The young governor's brain quickly rotated and thought about countermeasures, thinking: "Going out of the city to attack is purely seeking death, but bombs hiding in the city from time to time, one blowing to death. What should I do?" Looking at the soldiers hiding behind the city wall, his eyes lit up and slapped his thighs and shouted: "Yes, hiding behind the city wall, this is a dead corner, and firearms cannot be fired. Most of the bombs fell to the middle of the city, like there was basically no next to the city wall."

Thinking of this, the young governor shouted, "Hide behind the city wall, don't be in the middle of the city." Not long after, the city wall was covered with dense defenders. Seeing that there was no space behind the city wall, the people could only run home and close the door, leaving it to fate. Not to mention, although this method is stupid, the effect is very obvious. When the shells fall, although it is quite scary to hear the rumbling, the casualties caused are very small.

The young general saw the method and smiled at the generals around him, "Although the firearms of Song Master are very powerful, they will always be used up." As he said that, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and then said, "At that time, the Song Master will definitely be defeated." The general next to him smiled and said, "These Song Masters are just 20,000 people who rely on their firearms to be powerful, they dare to go deep alone. Wait until their firearms are used up and see what they use to block our 100,000 army."

The young governor turned his eyes and said, "At this time, Master Song must not know that we were hiding behind the city wall to watch the fireworks. Maybe they still think that we have suffered heavy casualties. Well, yes, we have to pretend that the casualties are very miserable, so that the Song governor will definitely fight more vigorously, and the more firearms will be wasted." The general next to him smiled and said, "The governor is wise, let's do this." As he said, he shouted to the soldiers around him: "The soldiers obey orders. In order to make the Song army think that we were beaten to death, and consume the precious firearms of Master Song, the army pretended to be miserable and shouted loudly."

For a moment, there were ghosts and wolves howling in Shunzhou City. Wang Chao and others were very happy to hear it, thinking that you gangs of Western thieves would kill. At the same time, they reported to Wen Shen through the walkie-talkies.

The sound of the dynasty suddenly came from the intercom in Wenshen's hand. The sudden sound scared Liu Fa. After Liu Fa held back and waited for the dynasty to finish speaking, he hurriedly said, "What is this national master? It's so magical, why is the sound of the dynasty inside?" As he said that, he looked at the location of the dynasty in front from time to time.

Wen Shen smiled and said, "This thing can be transmitted from thousands of miles away. I can use this place to talk to the dynasty in the distance." Liu Fa said, "This is really a good thing. With this, you can adjust your tactics according to the battlefield situation at any time. A good thing." While saying, he looked at the walkie-talkie.

Wen Shen looked at Liu Fase's confused eyes and shivered, and hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll equip you more later. The Dynasty said just now, "I heard that the city was suffering heavy casualties." Liu Fa grinned and said, "It's more important to say, that time was not a heavy casualties, and it's terrible."

Wenshen picked up the intercom and said to Zhang Biao, "Twelve white phosphorus bombs, put them on!" Just now, Wenshen hit his own position in case he was not accurate enough, but just asked Zhang Biao to use high-explosive shells.

After six sharp whistling sounds, the shells exploded to form a fire rain covering a radius of 100 meters. It immediately ignited various buildings in the city. Some soldiers planned to put out the fire, but they could not get it off even if Mars stuck to their bodies. The young general looked cold and gasped on his back, so he ordered all soldiers not to get close to the fire. He could only watch the fire swallowing the houses one by one.

Suddenly, the general next to him said anxiously: "Master, the fire is about to burn our food and grass." The young general was also anxious at this time, so he said: "Send some people to put out the fire, but don't let the fire stick to his body." Unexpectedly, the general led hundreds of people out, and the second round of white phosphorus bombs fell. And one fell among the hundreds of people. In an instant, hundreds of people were beyond recognition, shouting and rolling on the ground, until they died for a long time.

"It was too vicious to use such a firearm in the Southern Song Dynasty. Whoever made such a firearm would definitely kill his sons and grandsons," the young governor cursed. In this process, the fire slowly ignited the food and grass. For a moment, the fire was shining and thick smoke rose. Although the young governor was very sad, he thought that there were several other food and grass, and he felt a little secretly grateful. He thought that fortunately, he did not put all the food and grass together.

After a while, the young governor saw that there was no bomb falling and wondered if Master Song's firearm was gone. A general next to him asked: "Mr. Master Song has no firearm?" The young governor thought for a while and said: "Send a few people to the city wall to see the situation."

There were two Grand Master Chairs next to the camp tent. Wen Shen and Liu Fa sat on it, holding telescopes to watch the war in Shunzhou City ahead. Liu Fa put down the telescope and asked, "According to the past, the guards inside should have opened the city and surrendered. So far, why hasn't there been any movement? Is it all dead?" Wen Shen frowned and replied, "It doesn't look like it. Did the shelling cause no major casualties to the defenders inside?" Liu Fa picked up the telescope and looked at it, and said, "It seems that the smoke is everywhere inside. It seems that many places should have been lit. But I can't tell how many casualties there are."

Wen Shen smiled and said, "I have a way to see what's going on inside." Liu Fa said, interested, "Oh, I don't know what new equipment the national master has." Wen Shen smiled mysteriously and said, "You will know later."

Wenshen came to a sealed tractor hanger, opened the door and came from the small unmanned reconnaissance plane. Liu Fa, who followed him, curiously, "Master, what is this thing? It looks a bit like a bird." At this point, his eyes lit up and he said anxiously: "Can this thing fly?"

Wen Shen smiled and said, "Jingluo Liu still has some eyesight." As he said that, he took out a controller from the hanging bucket and came to the Grand Master's chair. Liu Fa next to him smiled and said, "How can this thing fly?"

Wen Shen smiled, turned on the switch, and a run-up kicked the unmanned reconnaissance plane into the sky. The unmanned reconnaissance plane flew to Shunzhou City under Wen Shen's operation. Liu Fa looked up at the plane in the sky, swallowed his saliva, and said, "National Master, this world is really amazing. But what do we think?"

Wen Shen waved the controller in his hand and said, "Look here!" Liu Fa approached and looked at the clear ground drawing on the monitor screen. His eyes almost popped out, and he said with a hint: "National... Master, this is too amazing."
