Chapter 747: Invincible Gao Taiwei Conquers Wu Dalang Twenty-four
On the head of the Tongwan City Wall, Wu Haogu was quietly watching everything in front of him.
Just behind the mound of earth more than a foot high, that is, the gap in the city wall that the party members desperately wanted to capture, the command of the five spearmen had already discharged a concave gun array.
Ready to fight!
And in the south of the Dongguan Tower of Tongwan City, where Wu Haogu was located, in a trench not too far from the gap that had been broken by gunpowder, countless strong men were standing one by one, leading to a tunnel that opened on the inner wall of the trench. Packets of freshly mixed gunpowder were passed through them into the tunnels......
Needless to say, this tunnel must lead to the foot of the Western Xia army outside the city! Otherwise, who else has such a blessing to enjoy thousands of pounds of expensive gunpowder at a time?
The two tunnels that were originally used to blast the walls of Tongwan City did not completely collapse after the explosion. It's just that a section near the walls of Tongwan City has collapsed. And in order to use gunpowder to re-attack the party members, the engineer commander organized people to fill in the exits of two tunnels outside the city. At the same time, the sappers excavated from the city and reopened one of the tunnels. He also secretly dug out a medicine room where gunpowder could be stacked at the feet of the party members......
It's hard to say whether he can collapse Brother Cha at once, and it may not be able to kill a few party members. However, it should be able to scare the dirt buns who have never seen the world enough - the party members can actually make gunpowder, but the power is slightly less. But they won't be so extravagant, and they will take out thousands of pounds of gunpowder at once to listen to the sound. So until now, King Chage of Jin has not figured out how the walls of Tongwan City collapsed?
The military commanders of Wu Haogu suggested using the remaining gunpowder and tunnels to create chaos and counterattack to crush the party army outside the city.
Now seeing the party members put out the side card array and spear formation, Wu Haogu took a low breath: "But I didn't expect that this Jin King Cha Ge learned his skills quite quickly, if this person didn't die on the bank of the Wuding River, he might also be the number one person in the future......"
Beside him were the engineer commanders Huang Zhisheng and Zhu Xingshu, who had come to report to Wu Haogu on the preparations for the blasting. Hearing Wu Haogu's words, Huang Zhisheng smiled and said, "The spear formation is easy to learn...... But digging tunnels and preparing gunpowder is not easy! If it weren't for the fact that the Captain had tried the best gunpowder formula, we wouldn't have been able to make gunpowder that powerful.
Digging tunnels is also a science, how to measure the distance, how to measure the depth, how to keep a straight line, how to support the inside of the tunnel, are all skills! Fortunately, Zhu commanded the family to dig charcoal for generations, otherwise it would have been really inaccurate. ”
Wu Haogu glanced at Zhu Xingshu and said with a faint smile: "Zhu Sanlang, well done, there is always an official body of you, so follow this official in the future." ”
"Xiao Di is willing to die for the captain." When Zhu Xingshu heard that he could have an official body, he immediately bowed down.
Wu Haogu waved his hand: "It's not necessary to die...... However, your ability is to be of great use. However, this official never calls people in vain, if you follow this official, within ten years, you will be able to become the largest smelter and the largest mine owner in Xuzhou! ”
Xuzhou is the world's largest coal and iron industry in this era! Although the detour of coal and ironmaking has been taken, the sulfur content of the product is too high and the quality is reduced. However, the scale of the industry is still very large, and the largest 30 smelters (that is, the owners of the iron-making business) all have a net worth of more than one million.
And the largest smelter plus the largest miner, I'm afraid the net worth is tens of millions!
Such a promise, even if it comes from the mouth of Wu Haogu, the "richest man in the Great Song Dynasty", is still unbelievable. Not only Zhu Xingshu was surprised, but even Huang Zhisheng and Huang Shilang, who had followed Wu Haogu for many years, were also suspicious.
Wu Haogu beckoned back, and Olga immediately presented his helmet - this was an iron helmet produced by Qingtang City, strong and lightweight, and the quality was much better than that of the Song Dynasty!
Wu Haogu put the iron helmet on his head and let out a long breath: "Qingtang's iron helmet and iron armor are actually better than ours...... This is the opportunity! This shows that those smelters in Xuzhou are not doing very well! If they don't do a good job, we will have a chance to make a fortune!
Because we must be able to do a good job, we have the Yuntai Academy, and we have also obtained many blacksmiths from the Qingtang Dynasty, and we will start a metallurgical school in the future. Those outdated smelters can't play our ...... They are also the same as the puppet Jin King Chage, who lost to us. ”
Without waiting for Huang Shilang and Zhu Xingshu to reply, Wu Haogu had already strode towards the stairs: "Let's go, let's go and see how Taiwei Gao defeated the tens of thousands of troops of the Western Thieves!" ”
Just as Wu Haogu strode down the city tower, the cheers like a tsunami of mountains and mountains had already come from outside the city.
Those who cheered were tens of thousands of elites from Western Xia. Because they saw a commando team composed of side players, spearmen, and sword and shield players, braving the rain of arrows shot by the Song people, rushing to the top of the mound of earth at the mouth of the Tongwan City!
It was a success with just one charge, and all the smooth ones were a bit beyond imagination...... It can't be a trap, right?
While all the Western Xia soldiers were cheering, the word "trap" came to mind at the same time.
But knowing that it might be a trap, the party members on the battlefield still want to rush into Tongwan City to fight!
Because they all know that this time the Great White High Kingdom can't afford to lose! If the grain and grass in Tongwan City and Tongwan City are lost, maybe this autumn, the Song army will cross the Hanhai Desert to attack Xingling Erzhou.
Even if the Song army doesn't come this autumn, how long can the Great White High Kingdom, which has lost Hengshan, Wuding River, and the land between the rivers, survive? Moving west or something, only the top level of the Great White High Kingdom knows that the following soldiers who fought to the death are not qualified to hear about it.
In order not to be slaves of the country, these warriors of the party have only one fight.
Hundreds of garrison soldiers, shields in hand, roared up to the mound of dirt that the players had grabbed. The warriors of the Song army guarding here surprisingly did not engage in hand-to-hand combat and gave up their positions. However, the Song army on the city walls on both sides did not withdraw, and still shot feather arrows at the party soldiers who rushed to the gap in waves.
And the situation of these party soldiers is even worse than when they were outside the city before. Because the Song army is not only condescending, but also able to shoot without dead ends. However, the party soldiers were crowded in a narrow gap, and could only be beaten passively with a shield on their heads, and it was difficult to fight back.
Moreover, the warriors of the Song army who retreated from the mound did not go far, they formed an array thirty or forty paces below the mound and began to shoot arrows at the mound.
Arrows came from three directions, forming a crossfire. The party soldiers on the mound had nowhere to hide, and they were soon shot all over the ground!
However, the two generals, Lai Ali and Li Liangfu, could only grit their teeth and fill in the gap with their soldiers wave by wave.
That's the only hope! Who dares to give up, and who is willing to give up?
Li Liangfu even ignored the arrows of the Song people, and personally went up to the mound, lying behind a barrier made of a pile of corpses and sandbags to check the situation in the gap.
As far as the eye can see, there is a large white field. Broken tiles and ruins are everywhere. I don't know if the Song people demolished some of the buildings in the city, or if the city wall collapsed, or the earthquake shook down those houses?
Three groups of Song pikemen were already arrayed in the gap, three horizontal formations arranged in a concave shape, each with only four rows of pikemen...... It's just four rows!
Although the spears are sharp, it is still impossible to rely on four rows of spears to block the iron harriers that have been famous all over the world for many years.
The Song people underestimated the iron harrier!
As the former commander of the Iron Harrier, Li Liangfu immediately came to a conclusion. Maybe the Iron Harrier will suffer a lot of casualties, but it will definitely be able to crush the spear array of the Song people!
As long as the gun array is chaotic, how can those spearmen of the Song people be able to beat the iron harriers wearing green Tang armor? Iron Harriers don't only fight on horseback, they can fight hand-to-hand when they dismount.
If the Iron Harriers of more than 2,000 people can't even win the same number of Song pikemen, then why should the Great White High Kingdom continue to fight? Surrender sooner......
Li Liangfu, who had made up his mind, retreated under the protection of his personal guards, rode his war horse and galloped to Cha Ge to ask for battle.
"King, please give the last general a chance to atone for his sins! Let the last general lead the iron harrier to charge into battle! ”
Brother Cha looked at the number one general in Western Xia and smiled gently: "Are you sure?" ”
"Yes!" Li Liangfu said, "Your Majesty, your subordinates have already checked it carefully. As long as there are no casualties, the Iron Harrier will definitely be able to rush in. Inside the gap was a large open space, and there were three teams of pikemen arranged in a concave pattern, about 2,500 men. ”
"2,500?" Brother Cha hesitated for a moment, and then glanced at the gap in the city wall, only a few dozen steps and less than a hundred steps wide, how many cavalry can be accommodated to pass through? Twenty or thirty? Do you have a momentum?
"King," Li Liangfu looked at Brother Cha's expression, knowing what the other party was worried about, so he added, "Or let the Iron Harrier dismount, so that hundreds of people can be placed side by side, all of them will use spears and staff to hedge against them!" ”
Use the Iron Harrier as a spearman? Brother Cha was still hesitating.
Li Liangfu said loudly: "King, if you don't invest in the Iron Harrier, who else can withstand the rain of arrows of Song Dog?" I'm afraid that if I can't cross the gap, I will already be killed and injured. ”
"That's an iron harrier!" A trace of fierceness slipped in Brother Cha's eyes, "Let's let the garrison rush, this king will give you 2,000 people, and allow them to be slaves and maids in good fields." ”
"Whoa!" Li Liangfu nodded and took the order.
Brother Cha glanced at Li Liangfu's back, and suddenly rode his horse and galloped to the Iron Harrier cavalry who was waiting to attack, and raised his arms and shouted: "Tongwan City is about to be recaptured by us!" The warriors of the Iron Harrier, are you willing to kill all the Song dogs in the city with this king? The rise and fall of the Great White High Country, the future and destiny of our party, is here to fight!
Great White High Country Victory! Party item, Wan Sheng! ”
