Chapter 1440: A Terrifying Weapon That Is Not Comparable to Humans (Part 2)
Chapter 1440
Xiao Shen was surrounded by a group of guards, stumbling towards the north city gate, before a cannonball, exploded near them, Xiao Shen's face was cut by the shrapnel flying diagonally, and the guards around him fell seven or eight.
At this moment, Xiao Shen's mind was completely blank, allowing those guards to pull him and continue to run forward, and when he reached the city gate, which was still about a hundred steps away, this place was completely blocked by countless leather room soldiers.
Countless people wanted to escape, but the narrow city gate could only allow a few people to walk side by side, and now because of the broken ruins and dead people who fell to the ground, the road was blocked by half, making it more and more difficult.
And while waiting anxiously here, the roar that had gradually faded away began to spread towards the north again, and at this time, Xiao Shen, who had finally recovered a little bit of sanity, wiped the blood on his face. "Don't stay here, quick, wall, go up to the wall!"
Rushing to the city wall that was also crowded with people, relying on the hard work of the guards, and finally relying on a few ropes hanging down the city, Xiao Shen escaped from this hell on earth.
It was only a hundred steps away from the city wall, and at this moment, there were already shells exploding in the sky near the city wall.
At this moment, the elites of those leather room armies couldn't care so much anymore, gritted their teeth and jumped down the city, even if they broke their legs or arms, it was always better than losing their lives.
Just when the three armies of the enemy army had become extremely chaotic, under the order of the general of the planting master, two thousand yuan armor cavalry and four thousand foot soldiers quietly came to the outside of the city through the three city gates to line up.
The artillery bombardment lasted for nearly half an hour, until the large battalions on the east and west sides, as well as the flames in Suzhou City, could not be extinguished.
There was no longer the throbbing roar in the ears, and the soldiers of the Liaodong Army on the city wall were struggling to breathe in the fresh air after the smoke cleared.
Below the city, no wails and screams could be heard, only the sound of burning wood and bursting apart in the midst of the raging fire, or the collapse of houses and tents.
At the moment when the shelling completely stopped, the long-awaited Planter Dao raised the drumstick in his hand and smashed it on the surface of the war drum on the tower of the city.
Several wrestlers around him also roared, beating the drum with their bare arms.
"Ten thousand wins, ten thousand wins, ten thousand wins!" The countless soldiers of the Liaodong Army in the city raised their weapons and let out an earth-shattering roar.
Under the city, two thousand yuan armor cavalry swords were unsheathed, and four thousand foot soldiers behind him raised their spears forward. With the sound of victory, rush forward!
Twenty-four flaming flares were thrown into the sky by the Yuan stone thrower and landed at a distance of 100 zhang, pointing out the way and direction for the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty.
The soldiers of the Liao Army and the Female Direct Army, who were panicked and looking for a way out in the dark, looked at the flares that fell in amazement, and they even saw the soldiers of the Song State who launched an assault with their swords and spears raised high under the city wall.
"Artillery, shoot!" Guo Shang roared again. The earth-shattering sound of war drums, the roar of artillery, the shouts of the Song Dynasty soldiers, and the sound of the hooves of war horses are like a passionate and high-pitched battlefield symphony played in the Golden Hall of Vilna.
The soldiers of the Liao Army and the Jurchen Army, whose clothes and armor were scattered, and they didn't even know where to throw their weapons, struggled to flee towards the north, and at this moment, the dignity and prestige of the Great Liao Tiger Ben, and the bravery and glory of the female warriors, were all thrown into the gutter by them.
There were even some soldiers who, in order to be able to run faster, tore off their armor and tried to run faster than their companions.
Escaping from Suzhou City and coming to the high ground outside the land of Lixu in the north of Suzhou City, Xiao Shen, who began to gather the remnants, also saw the Song army attacking towards this side, and began to drink the more than 2,000 soldiers and horses that he ordered himself to reorganize, so as to be able to gather more remnants of the army to resist the surprise attack of the Song soldiers.
And at this time, the artillery, which had been shelling only near the three large battalions, actually began to shoot in an extended direction to the north.
Xiao Shen's eyes widened to the extreme, he originally thought that Song Guo's weapon, even if it was far away, was afraid that it would be within the range of two or three miles, but now, it shot farther and farther, and the flames of the explosion began to slowly advance towards this side.
I don't know who shouted, threw down the weapon in his hand, and fled into the darkness in the distance, and the elites of the leather room army who were still in the formation just now were finally afraid, and they all ignored the generals' stops, and ran frantically towards the rear.
There was only one thought in their minds at the moment, the farther away from those earth-destroying exploding fireballs, the better, which were not terrible things that could be matched by human beings.
The wound on his face was still scorching, Xiao Shen twitched the corners of his eyes, looked at the flames that extended to the north, and showed a nervous smirk.
This is not the way of war he knows at all, the despicable Song State has refreshed his three views again and again, and this must be a terrible weapon developed by Song Guoxin.
In the past, the stone thrower could throw a huge stone out of a hundred feet, which had already shocked the world, and now, the Song people actually had this terrible weapon that could explode several miles away to kill people and destroy things.
In the world, who else can stop their footsteps, the small city of Dalian, the defenders are afraid that there are less than 20,000, but they have defeated a division of 100,000.
"It's not human...... you can do" Xiao Shen wiped the corners of his eyes, and fled into the distance surrounded by the guards.
#####
The Yuan Jiaqi of the Song State chased and killed for a whole night, until the dawn of the sky, then slowly withdrew, at this moment, the sky has been polished, and the three camps under the city are completely in a mess.
The flames burned almost everything that could burn in the three camps, leaving only countless broken walls and ashes in one place.
Countless wounded Liao soldiers and female direct soldiers who were unable to move were driven to the range demarcated by the Song people at this moment, sitting on the ground with dull eyes and desperate expressions.
The whole night did not sleep, but the exhausted Song army could not hide the joy and excitement of victory. And all the imperial artillery has become a star in the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the Liaodong Army.
It was they, with their huge and clumsy weapons, who not only destroyed the enemy's camp, but also destroyed the morale and fighting spirit of 100,000 enemy troops, allowing the Great Song Dynasty to win a hearty and outrageous victory on the Liaodong Peninsula.
And the more than 110 stone throwers, except for a few that were destroyed, most of them were preserved intact and stayed in place.
As for those craftsmen and people, they had already fled without a trace along with the Liao army and the female direct army who could still move.
It's just that at this time, everyone no longer has the strength to shout Wansheng, but is busy with all kinds of work, except for a small number of soldiers who continue to garrison the city wall, the rest of the soldiers are tired and join in the work of cleaning the battlefield.
