Chapter Twenty-Nine: Stand Up and Die
Chapter Twenty-Nine: Stand Up and Die
Zhang Xuan clearly felt that the dense shells had fallen on the side of the artillery position.
If the shell just now was still an accident, then the current situation is definitely not an accident.
"Damn." Zhang Xuan only felt that the heart in his chest was pounding, almost jumping out of his throat. You must know that the cannonball is unreasonable, as long as it is hit, the plan is to die without a whole body. There is not a single chance of surviving.
Even if it is rubbed a little, it is the end of a broken arm and a broken leg, and in the medical environment of this era, there is almost no possibility of survival.
"That bastard, saying that the firearms of this era are all indiscriminate, how can they be so accurate." Zhang Xuan secretly scolded in his heart.
In fact, the artillery at the head of the city was not accurate. It's just that the artillery positions are large, one hundred and eleven guns, no, now one hundred and ten guns, lined up. Each gun was followed by two vehicles, one for gunpowder shells and the other for water.
Moreover, Zhang Xuan prevented the explosion of the chamber, and there was still a little distance between the three cars. More than 100 guns were lined up, and the entire artillery position stretched for miles, and it would be a dereliction of duty if the artillery at the head of the city could not be enveloped in such a large area.
Even so, nothing was achieved except that the first shot that had just begun hit a cannon was hit.
But one after another, shells whizzed over their heads, or smashed behind them, or smashed in front of them, and some even smashed into a group of soldiers who were in formation. It was enough for these temporary gunners to endure tremendous mental pressure.
This kind of pressure is far from the level of the West lining up to be shot, but it is not something that ordinary soldiers in this era can bear, and someone immediately wavered.
Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "Come on, put up my banner." And the order was sent that all gunners, below me, who dared to break away from the gun position, were to be beheaded.
"Yes." Zhou Fuchen said loudly.
However, for a moment, Zhang Xuan's banner fluttered above the artillery array. Zhang Xuan's personal soldiers lined up behind the artillery array, everyone had their swords and guns unsheathed, and the blades were shining under the scorching sun, making people dare not look directly. All the gunners knew and dared to turn around and run away. can't escape a knife in the back. I can only grit my teeth and stiffen up.
"My lord," said Wang Cannon, "this cannon is no longer usable." ”
Zhang Xuan looked over, but saw that this cannon, there was an obvious depression above the muzzle position, as if the strong man punched down, and there was some distortion at the muzzle, I am afraid that even the cannonball could not be loaded.
This cannon is considered a scrap.
Zhang Xuan said: "Drag it back and recast it." ”
"Yes." Wang Cannon immediately beckoned people and dragged this cannon back.
"Your Excellency." Zhou Fuchen said: "This."
is dangerous, or give way to one or two. Leave me to do this. ”
Zhang Xuan said: "Fuchen, there are always things in this world that you can't back down. ”
"But your lordship, you ----," Zhou Fuchen said.
Zhou Fuchen never hated Zhang Xuan in his heart, but as time went on, he knew how difficult it was to meet a boss like Zhang Xuan. Not only is Zhang Xuan very good to his subordinates, he can eat and clothe them, but he also teaches them the art of war selflessly.
In Zhou Fuchen's view, Zhang Xuan is his teacher.
This kind of love for the unity of the monarch and the teacher is deeper than Zhang Xuan imagined.
"I don't believe a second shell can hit here." Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth and said. Up to now, Zhang Xuan can only believe that in a crater, there will be no metaphysical proposition of two shells.
Zhang Xuan was unmoved, and Zhou Fuchen couldn't do anything, so he could only stand in front of Zhang Xuan, once a cannonball hit, block a block for Zhang Xuan, and on the battlefield, the personal soldiers were used to do this.
However, something surprising happened to Zhou Fuchen.
Although the shells at the head of the city became more and more accurate, and from time to time shells fell in the position, overturned two or three cars, killed four or five gunners, and by the way, a few guards were brought in, and a few gunners turned around and fled because they were afraid, but all the guards were corrected on the spot.
But not a single shell fell on Zhang Xuan's position.
"Boom", like an avalanche, the artillery array was facing the Kaifeng city wall, and a large piece of soil fell, drowning the soldiers who were digging the city wall under the corner of the city in an instant, and the rolling dust seemed to be a sandstorm, covering the entire battlefield, even Zhang Xuan was covered with his face.
The dust settled, but I saw the Kaifeng city wall, above the position of three zhang, there was a not shallow gap, as if it had been gnawed by a dog.
The battlefield was so quiet that even the sound of artillery stopped. After a while, countless people shouted, "Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng." ”
Speaking of which, this Wansheng slogan was brought over by Zhang Xuan, and within more than a year, this slogan also spread normally, and even Xiao Yuanying was infected.
Zhang Xuan couldn't help but shout loudly: "Wan Sheng." ”
As for whether the artillery can destroy the city wall, in fact, Zhang Xuan is not sure, first, the Kaifeng city wall is too big and strong, and it can almost be regarded as a dirt mountain. Second, in Zhang Xuan's view, the artillery power of this era is also seriously insufficient.
However, it is a big iron ball, not as big as a football, such an iron ball is smashed, and it seems that there is no movement in the Kaifeng city wall.
And at this moment, Zhang Xuan knew that it was not that Kaifeng City was not moving, but that the number of bombardments he had not done was enough. As long as there is an effect, it can be, it's a big deal to bomb for a few more days, one day, two days, two days, three days, three days, ten days, fight for these 100 guns
The ministry is destroyed, and a gap in the wall will be blasted open.
The situation on the battlefield is like a seesaw, one side is warped, and one side must fall.
The morale of Kaifeng City is much lower. Everyone was stunned. They all rely on the Kaifeng city wall, and at this moment Kaifeng City fell off a large piece, and for a while their hearts seemed to be broken, and they didn't know what to do.
"Keep firing." Chen Yongfu scolded loudly.
Originally, more than 1,000 catties of artillery on Kaifeng City bombarded the artillery positions of the rebels in the distance, and those small artillery, aimed at the surging goose carts below, cooperated, rolling stones and wood, 10,000 enemies, rockets, and other siege tools to intercept this person digging the city.
And the corner of the Kaifeng city collapsed, along with the guards on the mountain, also fell under the city wall.
At a height of four or five floors, if you fall, you almost don't want to live, even if you are lucky enough not to die, the rebels under the city are not stingy in making up for the sword. This is still a trivial matter, but the more important thing is that there is a big firepower gap above the city, and there is no need for anyone to supervise it, these rebel armies have flocked to the city, and they almost do not hollow out the walls here, and they will never give up.
Yuan Shizhong also saw the opportunity and sent the elite of his headquarters.
Yuan Shizhong's headquarters has been repaired for a month, and they have already sharpened their minions, and at this moment, Yuan Shizhong's banner waved, and hundreds of soldiers rushed to this gap. Dozens of goose carts were connected end to end, and they actually built a passage under the city, so that the rebel soldiers could avoid the rolling stones and sassalwoods along the way, and the rocket artillery arrows led directly to the city.
Hundreds of people worked together. In just a few moments, a large hole was dug under the city.
Even if Chen Yongfu transferred all the artillery, this firepower might not be able to block it.
The main thing is that now the city is empty, and every blow is directly from above. Chen Yongfu turned his eyes, suddenly saw the wooden building behind him, his eyes lit up, and said, "Quick, push the wooden building over." ”
Under the command of Chen Yongfu, the wooden building was quickly pushed over, and the situation was pressed behind, and there were iron cables on both sides, even if a large piece was missing from the city, there was a large area of suspended place below, and it was still trembling and towering above the gap in the city wall, and countless thousands of enemies, rolling stones, sasswood, fire oil and so on, were all thrown from here.
However, in a moment, a raging fire broke out below. It seems to have blocked the rebels' attack on the inside of the city walls.
But Chen Yongfu did not forget how the camp dug the Kaifeng city wall into an ant nest when he attacked Kaifeng for the second time. He immediately sent his pursuing soldiers to fight the thieves at this position inside the city walls. And inside the city walls, they were ready to fight. Even if the rebels dug through the city wall, they couldn't resist the slaughter of the officers and soldiers of the brigade.
Just when Chen Yongfu just breathed a sigh of relief, "Boom." A loud bang came to Chen Yongfu's ears.
The artillery blew up.
