The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

The emperor only needs to do not have the process, which also allows the generals to gain great autonomy and can freely mobilize their subordinates. Zhao Yong, who was attacked by the Jin army's stone-throwing cart, immediately realized that this would pose a threat to the siege troops and was determined to first Kill the enemy's artillery, and a artillery battle kicked off the siege.

With the expansion of the military workshop and the improvement of technology, the power of the artillery equipped by the Song army has also improved compared with a few years ago, and its caliber and power have increased. The maximum range of the rapid-fire gun has reached 600 steps and can fire ten kilograms. The solid bullet and flowering bullet. The caliber of the mortar can reach one foot and two inches. With eight kilograms of medicine, it can shoot thirty kilograms of solid bullets to 500 steps. All of these newly developed cannons were replaced with direct The artillery brigades also participated in the war this time.

The Second Artillery Brigade, which was affiliated to Zhao Yong's troops, lacked the heavy artillery battalion, but strengthened the newly established siege artillery battalion. In addition, the direct artillery battalion and brigade artillery teams of each general have more than 100 large and large artillery guns. In order to better exert the power of artillery Zhao Yong established an artillery headquarters headed by Tian Bin, the commander of the Second Artillery Brigade, to unify the command of the artillery troops under the Northern Route Army. The task of knocking out the Jin army's stone throwing aircraft before siege the city fell on him.

Since Zhao Qi brought artillery, a cross-age killer, to this era, to this era, his army played a huge role in fighting south and north, and it can be said that he had never encountered any rivals. As one of the earliest group of old artillery soldiers in the army, he Knowing that the emperor's original purpose of establishing artillery was to suppress the targets firepower, and the other was to destroy the enemy's long-range weapons. The stone thrower was one of their targets. It was just a rare opportunity to fight with the 'torna' of Xixia It became their only rare experience in fighting with the stone thrower.

Now he suddenly heard that the Jin army equipped the long-range weapon such as a stone thrower, but Tian Bin did not underestimate the enemy because of the success of the past. Based on the location and location of the attack on the commander, he calculated that the one who fired guns at them was definitely not the one placed on the top of the city. Small trenchers with a range of only a hundred steps have a longer range. They are more powerful heavy trenchers. These stone cannons are large in size and bulky inconvenient to move, so they can only be placed in the city, but the tall walls block them. How to find the goal has become the primary difficulty...

When Zhao Yong used Danfeng Gate as the attack point, the troops began to prepare for the siege, and the fountains arranged in front of the city, Feng Yuan, moats, war sheds on the top of the city, and enemy towers must be destroyed before the general attack. .Architecture became the main force for sabotage. Since the emperor gave him only three days to break the city, and now there is no time to do detailed reconnaissance, Tian Bin decided to discover and destroy the Jin army's thrown stones while covering the troops to break through the obstacles. machine.

After lunch, the Song army lined up in front of the city, and Zhao Yong also saved the process of scolding. At this time, even if he scolded Agudao's ancestors all over the eighteen generations, he might be afraid that Zong Fu would not leave the city if he was beaten. The artillery soldiers first Speak. The rapid-fire cannon and mortar cannon are arranged in an interlaced manner. The rapid-fire cannon targets Feng Yuan and Lujiao in front of the city, and the mortar cannon targets the battle shed, enemy towers and long-range weapons on the top of the city.

Tian Bin was very cautious. The artillery soldiers who came out were arranged two hundred steps in front of the city. This was outside the maximum range of bows and arrows and small stone throwers on the city. The distance was widened between the gun positions in case of being affected. Heavy stone throwers in the city can reduce losses and quickly retreat when attacked. However, he arranged the mortar battalion of the artillery brigade behind the gate flag, and specifically dealt with the stone cannons arranged by the enemy in the city.

'Boom, boom...' Two siege cannons fired first, two iron bullets with big heads whistled out with a whistle and headed straight to the Danfeng Gate Tower. Under the attention of tens of thousands of people, a shell hit the city wall

Above, the large blue bricks, was instantly smashed to pieces, revealing a gap of eight feet long. A stream of dust rose up; another shell passed through the city wall and shot straight into the city tower, wherever it passed

The doors and windows were destroyed, but fortunately they did not hit the pillars and passed through the hall. I don’t know which unlucky guy fell on the head. The city tower that was shot was like a beehive lit, and Jin soldiers hiding inside flocked in.

When they left, the people on the city were hiding everywhere. Although the losses caused by these two shells were not large, the psychological shock to the Jin army was indescribable.

"Set, let go..." The artillery arranged in front also fired a volley under the command of the commander. For a moment, the city was covered in smoke and dust, the battle shed was flying, the female wall collapsed, the tower swayed, and the observation building protruded the city wall.

The Feng Yuan, made of rammed earth in front of the city, was pierced by cannonballs and collapsed. The soldiers hiding behind hugged their heads and hid in the city without fighting, and then crawled into the city without looking back.

.

But the good times didn't last long, and the Jin army began to fight back. To say that the Jin army had not had a long history, they seized hundreds of stone throwers discarded by the Song army outside the city when they headed south to Bianjing. Soon

I found that it was powerful and attacked the city of Bianjing. After that, this army was retained and used the captured craftsmen to create a large number of stone throwing machines, and strictly trained and prepared to deal with the artillery of the Song army. Today, I could finally show my skills.

.

Although I had received a warning, I was still a little careless. I didn't expect that the Jin army's stone throwing function could hit so far. The artillery positions they set up two hundred steps away from the city were covered by it, looking at the stones coming from all over the world.

The blocking of the slap was also caused by panic.

"Confirm the enemy artillery position and order the front team to retreat 200 steps!" Tian Bin saw the Jin army start to counterattack, and hurriedly issued a command.

Hearing the sound of retreating, the artillerymen who came out shot another round of shells before they retreated. They were so angry that the artillery soldiers had been invincible since they were formed. In the past, they were the only ones who beat others hard.

No one could touch them. Seeing the Song army artillery retreating in a mess, the Jin army on the city was thundering, and the stone throwing machine continued to fire, chasing the retreating Song army and beating.

Fortunately, although the stone thrower was far, the accuracy was poor, the fire rate was slow, and the Song army's artillery positions were far apart, so it did not cause much damage. However, several cannons were knocked down by huge rocks and the cannon stands.

More than a dozen horses were killed and injured, and the artillery was also injured for the first time!

"The rapid-fire cannon aims at the observation building on the city and shoots!" Tian Bin saw that the falling stones were smashed accurately, and the stone thrower was fired behind the city. It was impossible to observe the situation outside the city. It must be

An observation post was indicating the target for the stone thrower, so his eyes immediately turned to the observation tower standing high on the city wall. If there was a flag waving, he immediately ordered the rapid-fire artillery battalion of the artillery brigade on standby.

"Target, the observation tower on the city, solid bullets, shoot from east to west!" The rapid-fire artillery battalion, which received the order, immediately took action. After the test of the first gun, it adjusted the shooting elements, and aimed at one observation tower for each two guns.

The shooting began. With the rumbling sound of cannons, the observation towers fell one after another, and the accuracy of the stone thrower was even worse. The artillery that came out took the opportunity to retreat to our team.

"Report the command system, measure the position of the stone thrower, fifty steps behind the city!" Otherwise, knowledge is power, Zhao Qiong chose educated soldiers as artillery soldiers and imparted the trigonometric functions of his previous life to them in order to use the measurement

The hidden target is now used. Although there are no instruments such as artillery mirrors and rangefinders at this time, the approximate position of the target can also be calculated.

"The mortar cannon camp shoots into the city and destroys the enemy's catapults!" Looking at the retreating artillery soldiers, Tian Bin was also unhappy and gritted his teeth and ordered.

"The target, the enemy's stone thrower position fifty steps behind the city, incendiary bombs, and flowering bullets were fired alternately!" The mortar battalion also received the shooting order, and immediately adjusted the angle of the gun body, adjusted the charge, and started firing. The mortar battalion commanded very much

Experienced, since it is in the general direction, you can only shoot intensively with solid bullets to destroy the stone caster, so the speed is much slower. Since the stone caster is made of wooden, it will definitely be able to light the incendiary bullet.

After landing, the oil splashes everywhere and can't be removed when it gets stuck.

With the order, first one clay pots filled with oil were thrown into the city, and then a round of flowering bullets fell into the city. This flowering bullet could ignite the oil in the incendiary bomb and kill the enemy soldiers who were operating the cannon.

It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone. Sure enough, after the huge explosion, you can see the fire rising from outside the city. You can still hear the screams of someone in it with good ears...

There are many commanding heights in Yanjing City, not only the observation towers on the top of the city, the corner towers on the corners of the city, the quid towers in the city, and the pagodas in the city are all much higher than the city walls. The Jin army also set up observation posts on it, and some of them are

The range of the Song army's artillery was not as high as that. They immediately used these commanding heights to restore their command of the stone thrower and found that there were Song army's artillery positions further outside the city. While busy extinguishing the fire, they kept firing the artillery.

The artillery battle against the stone cannon became more and more intense.

Of course, the Song army was not willing to be outdone. The engineers quickly built a ten-foot-high watchtower. The artillery observation post came to it and directly commanded the artillery to shoot with flags. The accuracy also improved a lot. As time went by, the advantages of artillery were

Gradually, they fire fast, have great power, move positions quickly, and shoot accurately. Although the stone cannons use simple machinery, they are large in size and difficult to move, and they also require human pulling the lever to launch, which is a great chance.

, It is impossible to use the same force every time you cast it, and over time, it consumes a lot of physical strength, making it difficult to ensure accuracy, and you can only attack a little, you can only win by quantity, forming a larger killing surface.

When the war reached Shen, the Jin army's stone throwing aircraft were constantly destroyed, and its firepower became weaker and weaker. However, the Song army's artillery was still firing continuously and its positions continued to move forward. The small-caliber artillery that retreated back to its own formation also joined the war again.

The regiment destroyed all the fortifications on the city outside the city. When night fell, the Jin army's stone throwing machine had no power to fight back, and there was a fire inside and outside the north city, and even the Taiping Pavilion and Qingliang Hall in the palace city were lit.

The fire shone brightly on the night sky, but the Song army's artillery is still roaring... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation.
