Chapter 665: The Power of Artillery

"Shhh

After seeing the power of the cannon on the wall of the Jurchen city, the collective let out a frightened sound, and every Jurchen soldier was stunned, and everyone's expression was full of horror, even the brave soldiers could not be confident that they could survive in the face of the power of this artillery.

At this time, it was not only the Jurchens who were shocked, but also the grassland cavalry and those Jurchen soldiers who were besieging the city under the city were also frightened, and several cavalry leaders of the grassland suddenly showed sadness when they saw this scene, because they knew that with these artillery, the cavalry on the grassland could no longer deal with the Central Plains, and the grassland would never have a place to turn over.

It's just that their sad colors didn't dare to show it blatantly, and seeing that the power of those artillery was still bombarding, they let out bursts of cheers with those Great Song cavalry.

"Raze to the ground?

Wanyan Wu Qimai looked at Wanyan Heda and Wanyan Zhong, the general who was guarding the city, and shouted coldly, his eyes already showing a look of horror.

Yelu Chuxiong walked out, his face was also full of worry, and said: "Your Majesty, the Song people's artillery is indeed very powerful, and it smashed the fortress in an instant!"

"The Song people have actually developed such a powerful artillery!? How can this be!" Wan Yan Huandu's face was also full of horror, and his face turned pale.

Wanyan Heda looked at the appearance of the ministers, and said coldly: "Your Majesty, although the power of this artillery is strong, but the consumption must be strong, it needs a lot of gunpowder, the Song people came from afar, how many gunpowder bullets can be there! When the other fortresses were pulled out before, the Song people did not use gunpowder, which is the reason, and the city of Ningfu is more than ten zhang high, and the thickness can be more than a dozen war horses side by side, such a thickness is enough to withstand the power of this gunpowder bullet, especially the three inner and outer cities of Huining Mansion, and a few urn cities, how can it not be resisted. ”

When Wanyan Heda said this, he looked at the crowd: " Our negotiations and compromises are not completely without merit, at least we have fought for more than a month, delaying the time for the Song people to attack the city, and in another two months, the cold air will blow from the north, and the Song people will definitely not be able to hold on at that time, especially the scale of the Song people is now hundreds of thousands, people eat horses and chew, and they don't know how much money they spend every day, as long as we hold on, we can use the time to defeat the army of the Song people, and as long as we fight, we can dispel the Song people's intention of invading my Dajin again!"

Wanyan Heda said that in the end, he was even more passionate, and the panic in everyone's hearts was slightly relaxed, but Wanyan Wu begged to buy but did not have any joy, because he knew that if Zhao Shu was really determined to destroy Dajin, Dajin would not be able to resist it at all.

Wanyan Wu begged to buy and looked at Wanyan Heda and said: "What Aiqing said is good, as long as we are united, we can defeat the Song people, especially my Dajin and other cities are resisting, as long as I hold on to Ningfu, the world will definitely be recovered!"

"Boom!"

At this time, a violent sound also sounded in the palace, and Wanyan Wu begged to get up and said coldly: "Zhongqing, prepare for war immediately, defend Huining, and wait for the time!"

When Yan Wu begged to speak, everyone went down to prepare, and at this time, a fierce battle had already started in the outer city of Huining, and dozens of artillery pieces blasted out huge pits on the wall of Jiangning Mansion, but this city wall was really too thick and too high, although the Jurchens trembled and countless soldiers were injured, they still held on.

With the cover of cannon fodder, the first army composed of some Jurchen soldiers and steppe soldiers had already rushed towards the city wall, filling in the trenches and moats.

Covered by artillery and heavy crossbows, the trench-filling men rushed forward, carrying half-ship shields, and soon bridges were erected over the first trench, and the low places were filled with earth.

"Shoot the Song people below me, use heavy crossbows, and don't flinch the archers!" Wan Yan Zhong, the guard of the Jurchens, roared angrily, and Wan Yan Heda personally sat on the city wall in the back, one to check the true power of the artillery, and the other to supervise the battle.

When Wan Yan Zhong roared, Wan Yan Heda roared: "Push out all our artillery!"

"My lord, our artillery has a limited range, and it is not as good as a heavy crossbow!" Wan Yan Kening, who was guarding the side, worried.

"We're condescending, firing gunpowder bullets more powerful than boulders, enough to shatter the half-ship shields and the pontoons they've built!"

Wanyan Heda said coldly, with his words, Wanyan Zhong, who was in front of the command, got the message, and immediately asked the soldiers to push out a huge cannon weighing thousands of catties, aiming at the rumbling cannon below, these giant cannons were smashed with solid iron bullets, and the power generated by the condescending artillery was no less than that of the cannon of the Great Song Dynasty, and the soldiers holding the half-ship shield were directly smashed, and countless pontoon bridges were also broken.

"Aim at the gunners above!" Mengsheng shouted coldly, and for a while, a large number of artillery pieces were aimed at the Jurchens' artillery, blasting many artillery pieces away, and the two sides immediately engaged in a fierce battle and battle.

This bombardment lasted for two days, the Jurchens suffered heavy casualties in these two days, and the Great Song Dynasty also suffered many casualties, but the trenches and pontoon bridges were all filled, and the walls of Huining Mansion were bombarded to pieces, but the walls of Huining Mansion were too thick and too high, especially after the first siege, during the period of peace talks, the Jurchens increased and thickened a few zhang, and the collapsed places of artillery bombardment were piled up, which was also higher than the walls of ordinary cities.

On the third day, it can only be stormed, the artillery is all aimed at the city gate, trying to smash the city gate, but at this time, the four city gates are all blocked, the Jurchens are completely planning to defend it, and the city gate is the most taboo to defend the city, after all, they can take the opportunity to send troops to attack, so that the army outside the city has to send a large army to make a certain defense, but now after seeing the power of artillery, they no longer care about this.

"Siege! Siege!"

Behind the army, they roared angrily, and the guards around Yue Fei also roared: "The one who breaks the city first will be rewarded with ten thousand dollars, the commander of the thousand commanders, the viscount, and enter the martial arts hall!"

This is already a heavy reward, many Jurchen soldiers and grassland people have begun to prepare, the craftsmen and countless soldiers on the side of the Great Song Dynasty also sharpened their knives, and in an instant, tens of thousands of people followed the cloud ladder towards the collapsed city wall, which collapsed the city wall, which was shorter and most suitable for attacking the city.

The Jurchen descended to the slaughter of Du Ji Sizhong, and simply led the troops according to the two of them, and tens of thousands of Jurchen soldiers behind them also rushed to kill bravely, erecting ladders, these ladders and ladders are not simply only one ladder, and there are carriages under the folded ladders, and six wheels are placed. The carriage was completely enclosed, covered with raw cowhide, and the soldiers who moved the ladder hid inside, fearless of their bows. The ladder was wrapped in quilts and felt skins on all sides, and the smoke and rockets were so thick that it could not be shot, but the ladder was afraid of the Jurchen artillery, and the iron core shells of these cannons were enough to shatter them, so the first troops attacking the city could only let these Jurchen soldiers carry out.

"Brothers, wealth is right in front of you, kill with me!"

Du Ji Sizhong climbed on the ladder, went up to the city himself, slashed the arrows that came at him with his sword, and urged the soldiers around him to climb the ladder to the city. Two or three of his own soldiers lifted their one-man high shields and surrounded him, front and back, left and right.

Another Jurchen soldier also roared angrily: "Brothers, we have no way out, kill the city, glory and wealth are in front of us!"

The Jurchen warriors roared angrily, they drove their subordinates with the back of their knives, and went up the ladder in a disorderly manner, and for a time the entire city wall was full of dense crowds, and the Jurchens on the city wall also roared to resist. The soldiers who fixed the ladders under the city shouted encouragement, confronted the two directions above the city, and struggled to stabilize the ladders so that they did not fall, but some of the ladders were pushed down, and the soldiers above fell down screaming, and the soldiers who fell from the heights screamed and crashed into the crowd under the dense ladders. He fell to his death on the spot, his brain burst, and his flesh and blood flew everywhere. This kind of death is much more terrible than dying on flat ground. Can't stand the visual impact, a few timid, take a few steps back.

Just a few steps back, a warlord stepped forward and slashed these soldiers with a wave, and roared angrily: "Military order, those who take a step back, behead!"
