2. Conquer Shinshu 3

Seeing that the trebuchet had an effect, Shi Mo Yanshan breathed a sigh of relief, but the Song army still maintained the phalanx queue without being strong, and stubbornly advanced towards the city wall. At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flew out from behind the array of the Song army, and fell towards the city wall and into the city.

"What kind of weapon is this Song Army?" Before Shi Mo Yanshan could figure it out, he only heard the loud sounds of "boom, boom, boom" ringing in his ears one after another, and the Jin soldiers around the explosion all hid their faces and screamed to the ground. Shi Mo Yanshan was taken aback, this was the firearm of the Song army.

Generally speaking, the Song army would only use firearms when defending the city, but they did not expect to use firearms when attacking the city. Shi Mo Yanshan was thinking about it, when suddenly a black shadow flickered in front of him, and a black whirring thing fell down towards his command building. Shi Mo Yanshan screamed in his heart, hurriedly threw his waist, held his head in both hands, and rolled to the side. I only heard a loud "boom", and it seemed that even the city walls were shaken, sawdust and gravel flew wildly, mixed with the screams of the Jin army.

Fortunately, Shi Mo Yanshan dodged quickly, and there were only two abrasions on his body, which was not a big problem. The other dozens of soldiers on the command tower were not so lucky, and more than 20 people were killed and wounded by the iron blocks shot out by the explosion, and one of them was half of the head of the Jin Bing Company, and his brain was scattered all over the ground. I can see Shi Mo Yanshan's heart straight.

It turned out that the one hundred and fifty bed crossbows behind the Song army's array stopped at a distance of two hundred steps from the city wall, but they were not used to shoot crossbow guns, but to shoot firearms. Moreover, the Song army, which was afraid of attacking in front by mistake, all used the method of air projectile shooting. As the bed crossbow shot down in several rounds, hundreds of thunderbolts, fire oil bombs, tribulus fireballs, etc., the Song army's counterattack force suddenly strengthened a lot.

Most of the firearms fired by the Song army fell into the city. But there are also many fell on the city wall, because the gold soldiers on the city wall are very dense, some with the huge explosion roar continues to sound, countless gold soldiers were injured by the explosion of the blast of iron splashed out, even the archers in the back row also died a lot, the city is full of fire and choking smoke.

At this time, the phalanx of the Song army approached the walls of Shinshu Castle. You can even see the Song army inside through the square hole on the tower car. And the Song army's crossbow also stopped firing firearms at this time, so as not to injure their own people by mistake.

Taking advantage of this short free time, Shi Mo Yanshan, Shuhu Tinghan, Hu Leming, U Ting Tuochi, and Shao Fangjie ran back and forth on the city wall, constantly organizing the Jin soldiers who were somewhat scattered to rearrange the array, defend the city wall, and prepare to deal with the tower carts of the Song army.

In fact, the Jin army also knew that the tower car of the Song army was a sharp weapon for attacking the city, and made many preparations for this, and also created a lot of sharp weapons to deal with the tower car. One of the most effective weapons against tower vehicles is crashing. This weapon is also made as a car shape, there are two pairs of wheels under it, it can be pushed on the city wall, the right car is framed into a door shape with a huge wooden frame, a huge circular hit wood is hung under the crossbeam of the door, the thick ruler is Xu, the length is three zhang Xu, the head is wrapped in iron vertebrae, there are countless barb sharp thorns on the check, placed on the city wall, when the tower car approaches the city wall, by more than ten soldiers to push the log together, to hit the tower car, or attack the Song soldiers on the tower car, it is a very powerful weapon to defend the city. However, it must wait until the tower cart is five or six steps away from the city wall before it can be used.

At this time, the array of the Song army could still maintain its size and order, and even the speed of the tower cart was almost the same, and the difference between the front and rear was only less than ten steps. It is only ten steps away from the nearest tower car from the city wall.

At this time, Qi Dazhu ascended the tower city from the phalanx. Through the square hole of the arrow, it can be seen that the Jin army on the Shinshu city wall is also prepared with the warp, and there are more than ten Jin soldiers around each crashing car, and they have pulled up the crashing wood, and they will use the collision wood to attack the tower car when they are close to the attack range of the collision wood. The other golden soldiers around are also armed with spears and shields, ready to protect the soldiers who use the crash car, or cooperate with the crash wood to attack the tower cart together.

At this time, a soldier Qi Dazhu said: "Commander Qi, it's almost there, can you start?" ”

Qi Dazhu nodded and shouted: "Ignition, shoot." ”

I only heard a loud "boom" on the roof of the tower car, and even the entire tower car was shaken, and then immediately the smoke filled the air, quickly covering the space in front of me, but in the thick smoke, I only heard the sharp sound of breaking the sky suddenly and intensively, and then mixed with a miserable wail, ** the sound of falling to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the smoke dissipated a little, only to see a large number of Jin troops on the opposite city wall, using the collision of the Jin soldiers or lying down, most of them were inserted with arrows, one end of the crashing wood was heavy on the ground, the other end was hanging on the car beam, swaying back and forth.

And it's not just Qi Dazhu's tower car, Shi Mo Yanshan can see it clearly, after hearing a loud bang, the top floor of each tower car of the Song army suddenly spewed out a large amount of smoke, and with the smoke burst out countless arrows, they shot at the Jin soldiers who were preparing to attack the tower car on the city wall.

Yang Yan, who was commanding in the back, could also see all this process clearly, turned around and patted Wei Chang's shoulder beside him, and said, "Wei Jian Cheng, this time thanks to you coming up with this method, we have avoided a lot of losses. ”

Wei Chang was also overjoyed, bowed slightly, and said, "My lord has talked about it." ”

Although the tower car has always been a sharp weapon of the Song army to attack the city, it is not impossible to restrain it, the tower car itself is too tall, and the operation is slow, and there are many weaknesses, among which the crash is the biggest nemesis of the tower car. Once the tower car encounters a collision, it will often suffer heavy damage, and Yang Yan cannot hope that the opponent will not use the crash, and must come up with a way to deal with it. And this task was handed over to Wei Chang, who was proficient in civil engineering.

After Wei Chang and the craftsmen of the ordnance supervisor discussed, they finally came up with a way to make some improvements to the tower car, added another layer on the roof of the tower car, and placed two "fire dragon water cylinders" on that layer, which were first covered by a baffle, and when the tower car approached the enemy city wall, the "fire dragon water cylinder" was used to give the enemy the first blow, and at the same time, it could also open a gap for the Song soldiers on the tower car, which was more conducive to the Song soldiers to break through the defense line on the city wall more smoothly. After trying it today, it really worked.

The Jin army was not defenseless against the Song army, but according to the previous convention, the Song army would only attack with bows and arrows, so there were Jin soldiers with shields around the crash to defend the soldiers who used the crash. However, due to the fact that the distance between the two sides is too close now, and the power of the "Fire Dragon Pump" is not inferior to that of the bed crossbow, even if the golden soldiers use shields to cover it, it will not help, and the strong force will smash the shields, and there are many arrows that will penetrate the bodies of two or three soldiers in a row.
