Chapter 438 Intentional Killing the Enemy and Unable to Return to the Sky "Boom Boom ......"
A series of impermeable explosions suddenly sounded, overwhelming the screams of thousands of troops, Jiannu turned his gaze in shock, the flames were rushing, shrapnel was in the air, many ladders were blown apart, and the Jiannu soldiers who were about to climb the city wall were directly overturned by the blast wave of the explosion, and those who were not overturned were also hit by shrapnel and steel balls flying at explosive speed, and the suppressed screams came from the airtight helmet.In the face of the killing fragments and steel balls flying at explosive speed, no matter how thick the armor is, it is useless, and the Jiannu soldiers on the ladder are like dumplings, plopping and falling, dead and wounded!
Huang Taiji was shocked: "What kind of weapon is this?"
Ten thousand enemies?
”"It's not!"
Fan Wencheng shook his head: "The 10,000 enemies are not so small, and the power is not so great, they actually came up with a single soldier to carry the earth-shattering thunder?"
”Huang Taiji grabbed Fan Wencheng, who was also pale, and hissed: "Why didn't you tell me such important information?"
Why!?
””Fan Wencheng was so strangled by Huang Taiji that he couldn't speak.It wasn't until Fan Wencheng's face turned red and he almost suffocated to death that he was let go by Huang Taiji.Such a handy dog minion can't just die, and there are fewer and fewer minions like this.At this time, Huang Taiji looked at the cavalry rushing from afar.Without waiting for the generals to answer, Huang Taiji's eyes looked behind the knights, and Huang Taiji hoped to catch the people of the Ming Dynasty and use the people of the Ming Dynasty to attack the city.They were raids, and the garrison materials of Quang Ninh City were not fully prepared, otherwise, they would encounter more brutal blows, such as ash cakes, rolling wood and stones, etc., in fact, there were only a few cannons on the city wall, and they rarely fired, which can also prove that the preparation of the Tianxiong army was not sufficient."
Back to the Khan King, we have run all over the surrounding area for one hundred and fifty miles, and we have not found Ming dogs, their villages have long been empty, and there is no food, livestock, and everything!"
In fact, from receiving the raid of Jiannu to Guangning Mansion according to the plan, the people were concentrated in the city, this was after many drills, and fortunately it was Guangning Mansion, if it was said that in the Daimyo's Mansion, there were many people who did not believe in evil, let alone two hours, giving Lu Xiangsheng two days, he could not transfer all the people to the city.However, the problem is that the model of Guangning Mansion and southern Liaoning is actually the same, and the people of the Ming Dynasty usually have homes, courtyards, and lives in the farming villages outside the city.However, they also have housing in the city, and even if there is no hostile situation, in the winter, they will move to the city.Because the winter in the wild is too cold, in case there is a headache and brain fever, there is no way to solve it, but in the city, it is relatively better, it is convenient to buy daily necessities, and you can also have a place to spend time.Of course, this is all under the condition that life is well fed and clothed.The situation that Huang Taiji was worried about still came, the traitors did not open the city, and the meat shield could not be caught, and now they had no choice but to take the onslaught to break the city.For defending the city, the Han people are too experienced, and if they don't take enough lives, they don't want to fight it.Just like the Anshi Rebellion, Zhang Xun, the deputy envoy of Henan Jiedu, took 7,000 soldiers and horses to defend Suiyang City, and the rebel army led by Yin Ziqi 180,000 horses and horses, stormed Suiyang for ten months, until Suiyang City was cut off from food, and even the bark was eaten up, Suiyang City fell into, but was annihilated 120,000 horses, the battle of Suiyang lasted for ten months, more than 400 battles before and after, and more than 20 generals were killed and wounded.In the face of Guangning City, which was strengthened by Lu Xiangsheng, the best way was to besiege it, but Huang Taiji adopted a deceptive method and took the whole family army and the Tianxiong army in a big circle.His idea was to fight a time gap with Quan Xu and Lu Xiangsheng, so he didn't have time to take the form of encirclement and exhaust the food in Guangning City.In fact, Jiannu's siege technique has not been very good, and in the original time and space, he adopted the method of encirclement for Dalinghe Fort City.In fact, it's not that Huang Taiji has no way, he has more than 200 cannons, but this kind of cannon, most of them are cannons equipped by the Ming army, mainly the Franco machine cannon and the Hongyi cannon, the power is about the same as the power of the 105 mm field cannon of the whole family army, but the weight is twenty or thirty times heavier.If you want to move an artillery piece weighing 5,000 catties, especially in Liaodong, where there are almost no roads to speak of, the difficulty can be imagined, and there are sixty or seventy artillery pieces carried by the army, but they are mainly light bowl-mouth guns and tiger squat guns.This kind of artillery can not rely on vehicles to pull, can rely on war horses to transport, but the power is too small, the range is limited, and even the city of Quang Ninh made of blue bricks and cement does not pose a fundamental threat.Huang Taiji under Guangning City was a little difficult to ride a tiger at this time, and sighed helplessly: "Let people build trebuchets!"
”When the trebuchet under Quang Ninh was erected on the city wall, Yang Guanji had a feeling of unreality.In fact, in the Song Dynasty, trebuchets still had some room for development, but with the increasing power of artillery, trebuchets had no market at all.Trebuchets are relatively inaccurate and very powerful, and like solid cannonballs, they rely on bounces to kill enemies.But the point is that this kind of thing is too pitiful.In fact, trebuchets worked well against the kind of walls made entirely of stone in Western Europe, but they didn't do much when it came to Chinese walls with two layers of bricks and three meters of rammed earth.At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Mongolian army mobilized the most terrifying attack weapons at that time, which could throw a hundred pounds of boulders to bombard the Xiangyang city wall, and fought for a full 20 years, and the thrown boulders could almost bury the Xiangyang city, but it still failed to collapse the Xiangyang city wall.If you want to take a city, you must either earn the city from within, or pile up dirt mountains and build ladders and ants to attack the city, or dig tunnels and bomb the city wall with explosions, and want to rely on bronze cannons and trebuchets to collapse the city wall?
Boom slowly, I don't know if when the city wall collapses, my grandson can make soy sauce.Not to mention this kind of artillery, even if it is a 130 mm smoothbore gun equipped by the whole army, firing solid projectiles, it still can't break through this kind of wall, but the flowering bullet can bypass the city wall and attack the buildings in the city.The trebuchet can only throw ten or twenty pounds of stones when it is killed, and what is the use of facing a city wall that is several meters thick and cement-bonded?
As the trumpets sounded, the soldiers of the Han army who were used to launch trebuchets were also staring wide-eyed, they wouldn't!
You ask the Mongols around you, after more than 300 years, will they still build the Xiangyang cannon?
Under the spur of the leather whip, these Han soldiers finally launched the trebuchet, but the result was too disappointed to Huang Taiji, and more than a dozen stone bullets were smashed over, only three hit the city wall, and one actually flew less than a hundred steps......
Hauge looked at this scene and lowered his voice: "Father Khan, I heard that there is not even a city wall in southern Liaoning, otherwise, we will go to southern Liaoning ......"
I have to say that this proposal has won the approval of many people.It's just that Huang Taiji looked at the Baylor and the nobles with disdain: "What can you think of, Ben Khan can't think of?"
Dog minion, tell them if Liaonan is good to fight!
”Fan Wencheng had been to southern Liaoning a few times, and he knew why Quan Xu didn't build a city wall, because he didn't need it, and no city wall didn't mean no means of defense.The defense facilities of the whole army are simple and trouble-free, that is, the defense line composed of trenches, breastwork, minefields, muskets and artillery, not to mention the cold weapon troops such as Jiannu, even if a unit armed with light automatic weapons may not be able to take advantage.The mines of the whole family army are simply varied, like what kind of thunder, stone thunder, anger thunder, earth-shaking thunder, everything, when Fan Wencheng was in southern Liaoning, he deliberately brought a tame hunting dog to test the defense situation in southern Liaoning.As a result, they broke into a minefield, and with a loud bang, they directly blew the hound into minced meat.Huang Taiji had to patiently let the trebuchets bombard the city walls.It's just that Zheng Qian was angry: "Don't let people live in peace if you eat, give them a shot!"
”Several Tianxiong artillerymen, carrying a large oil drum, began to adjust the firing range, and when the adjustment was done, they began to ignite the fired gunpowder pack, and then threw a larger gunpowder cannon at the bottom of the oil drum.With a muffled sound, the gunpowder flew towards Kennu's trebuchet position.The city wall shook slightly, and a large area of terrifying air waves and smoke rose from the flat ground, as if there was a thunderclap, and the gunpowder bag roared heavily, soaring into the sky, flying two or three hundred meters high and pulling out a parabola with a high arc, and then folded, and planted headlong on the trebuchet position!
As a ball of orange fireball rose into the air, the firing position of the dozen trebuchets seemed to have been ravaged by a hurricane.The tall trebuchets no longer existed, more than a dozen trebuchets turned into sawdust, and hundreds of Han soldiers who launched trebuchets flew with flesh and blood, either blown out more than ten meters away by the blast wave or directly pushed into the ground, and more were pierced through their bodies by shrapnel and steel balls, cutting off limbs, and blood spurting out of their wounds and ears!
Nearly 200 soldiers fell to the ground, some were torn to pieces, some were beaten to pieces by shrapnel and steel balls, some had their hands and feet broken by the explosion, and some were lying naked on the ground, bleeding from all their knots.Their clothes were blown away by the blast wave, and there were many people standing there stupidly at the edge of the killing radius, looking sluggish, their faces were pale, and there were bloody minced flesh and even intestines on their heads, shoulders, necks, and even faces, and they didn't know anything, their legs trembled uncontrollably, and the yellow liquid poured into their boots along the trouser legs, emitting a foul smell......
In the face of technology, the number of people is no longer so meaningful.Just one shot made Jiannu lose the confidence he should have in Quang Ninh City.Quite a few Mongols were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, Immortal Heaven, have you abandoned us?
Huang Taiji looked at the battle flags fluttering on the city wall blankly, and his heart couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness to kill the enemy and be powerless.
