Chapter 56 Big Killer
Mr. Yan Ke once said: There are many things that must be done or not done.
Although Wanyan Zonghan, like those ignorant and ignorant netizens, does not know who Mr. Yanke is, Wanyan Zonghan still does things well:
There was not a single living person around Datong. Those who survived in Datong Mansion and were absolutely certain to be Jin people were all recruited as civilian husbands and soldiers. Even the women who were lucky enough to survive were recruited as camp actresses, and also had to
Boil golden juice.
In addition, in the direction of Datong toward Xijin Prefecture, the strong walls and wilderness were cleared by killing, and the water sources were polluted, basically to slow down Zhao Huan's advance.
However, Zhao Huan arrived at Datong City much earlier than Wanyan Zonghan expected.
Except that it took a lot of time to collect the corpses along the way, other things like the water source being polluted did not affect Zhao Huan at all.
Zhao Huan had done many more immoral things in his previous life than Wanyan Zonghan. He had done things like polluting sewage sources countless times. He had no idea how many perfect countermeasures he had in hand, so naturally he just
I don't care about Wanyan Zonghan's little tricks.
Then Zhao Huan led his troops to siege Datong, just like Wanyan Zongwang led his troops to siege Bianjing a few months ago, except that the identities of the besieged and the besieged were reversed, and both sides were very confident.
——
In order to attack Taiyuan, Wanyan Zonghan had prepared thirty (Stone Horse Yao) vehicles capable of throwing huge stones on the city walls, and in order to fill up Taiyuan's moat, he also prepared fifty vehicles that were very similar to large carts.
Things were wrapped with rawhide and iron leaves on the top. People could carry firewood on the front to fill the river, and even made goose carts for attacking the city. They were also made of wheels on the bottom and wrapped with rawhide and iron leaves on the top.
People were transported to the top of the city.
However, Wang Zhen originally set up a large number of empty fences on the top of the city and used chaff bags to protect the oars. Even if they were hit by stones, they could be repaired quickly. In addition, in order to prevent Wanyan Zonghan from filling up the moat, Wang Zhen also
Several small holes were made in the city wall in advance, and when Wanyan Zonghan sent people to fill in the river, they would put in too much firewood and set them on fire.
As for the goose cart prepared by Wanyan Zonghan, it was also resolved by Wang Zhen: he used a rope to lower a huge boulder and hit the front of the goose cart, and then had people use ropes and hooks to tie up the goose head and pull it down.
The goose cart, which required hundreds of people to push it, was scrapped because of this.
Now Wanyan Zonghan has learned all these tricks.
A hole was dug under the city in advance, and many wooden hammers, rolling stones, fire oil, hooks, ropes, and arrows were placed at the top of the city. The entire Datong was completely built into an extremely strong war fortress. In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Wanyan Zonghan also specially mobilized
All the eagle shooters in the army are on top of the city to deal with things like hot air balloons.
Therefore, Wanyan Zonghan felt that there would be no more accidents.
But Zhao Huan also felt that he was quite stable——
Judging from the history of wars in the past dynasties, what Zhongyuan Tangkou is best at is attacking and defending cities. Sometimes he may not be as good at cavalry as nomads, but when it comes to attacking cities... Zhao Huan feels that even if he doesn't need to be hot
Balloons, such a deadly weapon, can still hit eighteen streets.
"Next, I would like to invite Mr. Cannon to speak."
Zhao Huan glanced at Wanyan Zonghan who was taking off his armor and urinating on the top of the city. Not only did Zhao Huan not get angry, but he smiled and ordered: "Tell the soldiers to fire one shot after another from now until noon. Avoid the surname Wan first."
Yes, wait until the afternoon to kill Wan and then go into the city for dinner!"
It is impossible to send troops to attack the city. It is impossible to attack the city in this life. In my previous life, I worked as a siege lion for more than ten years. I have already had enough of the word "siege city". It is better to shoot cannons.
As someone said, what is a car but just four wheels and a shell?
In the same way, the conscience gun developed by Nie Peizhang, commander of the 4th Column Engineer Company of the Shanxi-Hebei-Luyu Field Army, does not have much technical content for Zhao Huan. It is just a better-quality iron bucket with a projectile primer and explosive pack.
, Cluster grenades and the like? At worst, use it once and replace it with a tin bucket.
Anyway, I had already made this kind of thing in my previous life. In addition, Zhao Huan had some of the top craftsmen in the world. He started making them after returning to Bianjing. By the time he arrived in Hejian Mansion, he had made nearly a hundred suitable iron sheets.
bucket.
It's just that Zhao Huan originally got this kind of powerful weapon to use in attacking the Xijin Mansion, but he didn't expect that Xiao Nuoyan, a young man, would suddenly react, so he couldn't use it on the Xijin Mansion. Instead, he wanted to attack the Xijin Mansion first.
Used in Datong Prefecture.
"Bang~~~~~bang!"
The first explosive package was thrown from the city wall and then exploded in the air. The air wave generated by the explosion directly tore apart the Jin soldiers directly below. The Jin soldiers within the scope of the shock wave did not even have time to hum.
He lay paralyzed on the ground with bleeding from his seven orifices, and some even flew directly from the top of the city and down the city wall.
"What is this?!"
Wanyan Zonghan's ears were buzzing and he couldn't hear his own shouting. Even Yin Shuke next to him looked at Wanyan Zonghan's mouth in confusion, but he couldn't hear it at all.
to one word.
Zhao Huan, who was under the city, couldn't help but scratch his ears.
Unlike the washing powder hidden in Silly Damu's house, the heartless cannon is a real killer. Even if you wear ear protection, your ears will be numb from the shock.
"Bang~~~~~bang!"
The second heartless cannon also began to speak.
Unlike the first heartless cannon which only ejected explosive packets, the explosive packets of the second heartless cannon were also mixed with iron nails, recycled palm mine shells, porcelain fragments and other messy things.
The third door was mixed with gold juice and arsenic, because the craftsmen thought that arsenic was a very poisonous thing, and it would be a pity not to use it. Zhao Huan didn't bother to argue with them, so he just
Let them go.
As for the fourth door, there are a large number of palm mines wrapped in explosive bags.
One by one, the artillery pieces began to speak one after another, blasting Wanyan Zonghan completely to the point where he couldn't find his way to the north——
I have never heard of it, I have never seen it. This kind of weapon is invincible and makes those who come close bleed to death. It is even more terrifying than the palm thunder that I have seen before!
"Throw stones at the city! Destroy this thing!"
The shocked Wanyan Zonghan quickly reacted and even thought of a way to deal with it immediately.
However, it is of no use to birds.
Wanyan Zonghan shouted at the top of the city at the top of his lungs, but both the soldiers behind him and Yin Shuke who was right in front of Wanyan Zonghan had their ears numb from the explosion. How could they hear what Wanyan Zonghan was shouting?
Moreover, Wanyan Zonghan also gave up this idea.
It is true that there are (stone horse lines) prepared long ago on the top of the city, and a lot of big stones are also prepared, but the big iron buckets opposite and the army led by Zhao Huan are not there at all (
Outside the range of Shima Yao, even if the golden soldiers dared to throw stones downwards, they might not have much effect.
"Send someone to destroy this thing!"
Wanyan Zonghan yelled first, then reacted, casually biting his index finger and wrote on the city wall: "Send the cavalry out of the city to destroy this thing! Take another person out of the city to contain the Song army on the outside!"
…
"My Song Dynasty has such weapons, it's time for me to retire and return home."
Zhong Shidao suddenly sighed and said: "Datong is the Xijing that the Liao Kingdom has carefully managed for many years. The city is high and the trenches are deep, but it is vulnerable to artillery..."
Yang Zaixing also looked concerned, and echoed: "That's right. Fortunately, General Mo is still focused on rebuilding the Jingsai Iron Cavalry, but now it seems that with such a good thing, what need is there for the Jingsai Iron Cavalry?
Just blow it up and it’s over!”
Zhao Huan glanced at Zhong Shidao and Yang Zaixing and couldn't help but chuckle.
What are you thinking about? Want to conquer the world just by relying on heartless cannons?
Don't be silly, Zhu Laosi did not just bring a lot of artillery and muskets during his five expeditions to Mobei. He also brought a large number of cavalry from the Beijing camp, 3,000 battalions, Xiaoying Yi, and the three guards of Wuliangha.
No less.
After all, artillery is inconvenient to move, and it is a long-range weapon. Its short-range defensive capabilities are not very good, and it still has to rely on the protection of infantry and cavalry.
As for the combination of artillery + cavalry + infantry + hot air balloons like Zhao Huan's to play three-dimensional fire coverage, without the corresponding technology, there is no way to play, and this kind of gameplay will consume at least a county or even a state every day.
The government's tax revenue is something that poor people simply cannot afford.
Ideas like those of Zhong Shidao and Yang Zaixing were basically just thoughts, because it was impossible for Zhao Huan to equip the entire Song Dynasty army like this.
Yang Zaixing was about to speak, but he saw that the suspension bridge that had been pulled up high in the city was slowly being lowered. He bowed and bowed to Zhao Huan and said, "Guan family, why don't you blow up the city gate? Anyway, it's what Wan did recently."
Judging from things, there are probably no people left in Datong City."
Zhao Huan glanced at Yang Zaixing and asked: "Then what? How do you get into the city? Climb the ladder?"
Yang Zaixing muttered: "There are not many people in the city anyway, so we might as well blow them all up, just to test the limits of artillery."
"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute!"
Seeing that Zhao Huan's face was turning dark, Zhong Shidao immediately grabbed Yang Zaixing and shouted: "Now the Jin soldiers may be leaving the city, you lead your troops to intercept them, and you must not let them destroy the artillery.
"
Yang Zaixing first bowed in agreement, then knocked his horse's belly with his legs and rushed out——
Leading troops? Leading what kind of troops? I can beat the shit out of this city full of golden soldiers by myself!
Seeing Yang Zaixing being so arrogant, the faces of Zhong Shidao and others suddenly darkened, and Zhao Huan even made a decision in his heart with a smile.
Chapter completed!
