Chapter 48 Siege (2)
After "Purple Golden Liang" lost two arrow towers, his morale plummeted. Although he was unwilling to launch several more attacks, he returned in vain. He had to retreat and give up his plan to continue to attack the city. Zhang Shun thought that the ugly face of "Purple Golden Liang" was going to lose his temper, but the guy actually laughed and said, "This Zhang Daojun is indeed a bit capable. It seems that it is just right to use the arrest of this person and negotiate with Song Tongyin. If it is a coward, it may not be enough for the price!"
After hearing this, Zhang Shun thought to himself: This "Purple Golden Liang" is quite capable, knowing to force his face to laugh and inspire morale, otherwise there would be no need to fight this battle. Sure enough, "Purple Golden Liang" laughed and didn't even care about dinner. He asked "Optimus Prime", "Old Huihui", and "Eight King Kong" who came to watch the battle to go back to their houses and find their mothers. Zhang Shun didn't care, but he still followed the principle of "the thief will not fail", before leaving, he sent Wukong to search for it for a long time, and found the mandarin duck bullets fired from Douzhuang and took them back to study.
As a result, Zhang Shun was happy not long after, and as soon as he returned to the camp, he heard an unfortunate news: his fresh and warm artillery captain Zhang Wuhao was killed in battle. This was really a laughing at the front and the back. Zhang Shun had no choice but to ask what was going on.
It turned out that when the "Purple Golden Liang" was fighting at the West Gate, the soldiers under Zhang Shun were not idle at the East Gate. According to Zhang Shun's plan, they asked Wei Congyi to go and call the battle, and asked Zhang Wuhao to lead the artillery team to slowly bombard the Douzhuang city gate, allowing everyone to practice artillery technology and increase their experience in firing artillery.
As a result, Dou Zhuang saw that there were many artillery artillery in the East Gate and misjudged the situation. He was afraid that this was the main attack site, so he sent heavy troops to guard it. In the morning, the sun rose from the east, and the defending city side was unfavorable to fight against the war and was beaten by the artillery so hard that he could not raise his head.
So, a servant leader thought privately: "If you keep it for a long time, you will lose it. It is better to seize an opportunity and attack the other party!"
Wei Congyi made the same mistake as before "Purple Gold Liang". He had never fought a siege and subconsciously ignored the influence of the sun. After they showed off their power for a long time, their troops were lazy and the sun rose high. As a result, the city gate opened and dozens of people rushed towards the cannon.
Wei Congyi reacted quickly and immediately determined that the enemy was trying to steal artillery or destroy artillery, so he quickly ordered rescue, while he rushed into the enemy formation alone. He swung left and right, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, sprinting back and forth. He would knock down several people in each round and stab one to death. Even the Zhang family, who was born in Liaodong, could not help but cheer: "What a Lu Fengxian, he is so brave!"
Unfortunately, Wei Congyi's bravery caused trouble for Zhang Wuhao. Due to his slackness, the artillery was caught off guard as soon as the artillery was fired. He did not have the courage of Wukong or the urgent wisdom of Zhang Shun. His talent was not as good as a person, but fortunately he was able to react in a proper manner.
While keeping the gunner away, he asked him to load it quickly, while sending guards to resist the enemy for a while. When the gunner loaded the shotgun and was about to launch, he found that Wei Congyi was sprinting back and forth in the enemy formation and suddenly lost his mind.
If the cannon is fired and the hero Wei Congyi in front of the lord is killed, he will definitely not be able to escape the blame. If the cannon is not fired, Wei Congyi's subordinates have not had time to come, and the dozen or so guards he sent were not enough to resist. What should I do?
If Wei Congyi is the commander of the artillery, he will definitely order the fire directly. No matter who you are breaking in, it is the best time to fire the artillery. If the commander is Chen Changye, he will definitely order the artillery to retreat and lead his people to rush into the enemy formation to resist the enemy's attack.
Several commanders were Zhang Shun. If he thought Wei Congyi could rush out, he would shout "Congyi, come and save me." When Wei Congyi rushed over, he fired several cannons at once and directly destroyed the enemy.
If Zhang Shun felt that Wei Congyi could not rush out of the crowd, he would shout, "Congyi will wait for me for a moment, and I will come to save you!" After the enemy surrounded Wei Congyi, he would fire several cannons to eliminate the enemy. As for Wei Congyi, I have already won so many human shields for you, and you can't survive. Only the plan depends on others and the fate of your Wei Congyi is so.
Unfortunately, Zhang Wuhao was neither as cruel as Wei Congyi, nor as old as Chen Changye, nor as cunning as Zhang Shun. He could only make a move and hesitate. As a result, he was rushed up by the enemy and killed him and knocked him down by several swords. It was a pity that Zhang Wuhao did not do a good job in the small flag and ran out to earn some private money, but he did not earn any money and lost his people.
Wei Congyi was also surprised to see Zhang Wuhao losing, and hurriedly urged his subordinates to come up and kill the slaves of the Zhang family. Then, a few people lost five or six guards, three or four gunners and an artillery captain Zhang Wuhao. Fortunately, the artillery was not lost, and they were all taken back.
When Wei Congyi reported to Zhang Shun, he was so angry that he took someone to remove Wei Congyi's armor and poked him ten times. However, although Zhang Shun's improved stick punishment was very painful, it did not hurt his muscles and bones. Wei Congyi was not seriously injured and had to commit crimes the next day.
Wei Congyi was a little worried that Zhang Wuhao was an old minister under Zhang Shun, and was afraid that he would let him take his life. As a result, he was relieved if he punished him a little and had a big warning.
After Zhang Shun punished Wei Congyi, he could not solve the problem, so he had to call all the gunners over, and apart from the guards, there were more than 20 people left. Zhang Shun called out to talk and conduct an investigation. As a result, most of them were mediocre, although they were smarter than ordinary people, but nothing surprising was.
He only saw a guy dressed in a twenties. Zhang Shun saw his eyes clear and flexible, his hands and feet were quick, so he felt a little favor. So Zhang Shun asked him what he had learned and skills in firing fire. The boy said in detail how Zhang Shun had a professor's way of first aligning left and right, and then adjusting the up and down angles.
Seeing that his understanding was very thorough, Zhang Shun felt that he was still unsatisfied, so he continued to ask: "If the enemy is hidden behind the battlements of the city wall, how should he shoot?"
The boy hesitated for a moment and said, "General, I haven't tried it before. If I have to attack the enemy behind the mercedes, I think it's better to raise the cannon guns up so that the shells fall from the sky and smash the enemy."
Zhang Shun's eyes lit up when he heard this. Isn't this the principle of ballistics or parabola? Ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty could think of this, which was considered as God's food to eat. Then he continued to ask, "How did you think of this method?"
"This is not difficult. When I was a child, I liked to shoot bird's nests. Once, a bird's nest was built between thick branches. My slingshot was always hitting the branches and unable to hit the bird's nest. I thought of a way to throw it up with a stone and hit the bird's nest when it fell. I saw that the cannon was not much different from the stone I threw, and it should be able to smash the enemy behind the mercer."
