Chapter 135 Gao Shun Uses the Corner Cannon
Chapter 135 Gao Shun uses the corner cannon
The Qiang generals on the city looked at Dian Wei and felt that this person was too arrogant, but no one was moved to volunteer to go down and fight him one-on-one. This guy is simply not an individual, but a monster, but everyone is human, and people cannot fight with monsters, that would be a loss!
Thoughts finally began to return to normal. Li Wenhou looked at the chaotic city gate and thought to himself: "The Fujiao Army has obviously won, but why didn't they take the opportunity to attack? Now the city gate is in chaos. They take advantage of the opportunity to rush in and may seize the city gate, but why can't they come?"
The Fujiao Army below was not very active in shooting arrows. They only fired twice, but stopped their bows and did not shoot. They were far away from the city wall. They kept laughing and scolding, mocking the Qiang soldiers who fled into the city, but were not in a hurry at all, as if they didn't care about the big fighter in front of them.
Dian Wei held up a one-legged bronze man doll spear and showed off his might. After shouting a few loud noises, he also led his horse back and returned to his own formation. Then he ordered the cavalry to dismount and go to sort out the venue.
At this time, the Qiang soldiers finally entered the city gate in chaos and closed. When they were outside the city, the Qiang soldiers were only concerned about escaping, but as soon as they entered the city, they became safe, but became more powerful and cursed the Fujiao Army.
Some Qiang soldiers ran on the street and ordered the people in the city to bring them food, threatening to go out to start a war when they were full. They didn't fight just now, not because they were afraid of the Fujiao Army, but because they were not full, they did not escape, but because they returned to the city, but because they were not full, they came back to eat! As for why they ran out to start a war without eating, it was the fault of the people. They went out hungry because the people did not cook for them!
These days, the Qiang soldiers have become accustomed to bullying the common people. Although Han Sui told Li Wenhou that if he wants to succeed, he must treat the people well. Only by holding the people over can Li Qin not dare to attack. Then they made some rumors that Li Qin was suspected of having a self-respecting force. Over time, the Han court would change its generals, which was a foregone conclusion.
The officials in the Han court, if nothing else is good, they will drag the back of the frontline generals, but they are very capable. If the officials themselves cannot do it, that is not important, but when they say that others cannot do it, they are very wise. Li Qin can be killed by just being spit on the stars.
When Li Wenhou first ordered the county to stay in the county, he was indeed kind to the people, but after a few days, he stopped restraining the Qiang soldiers. What else could the Qiang soldiers be polite? Why did they rebel? It was just for the sake of good food and drink. If they naturally had to solve other problems, such as seeing which girl looks good, stole the hearts and talk about it, and they wanted to try what they could do or what they could not do, and they really started to try it.
The people in the city hated them to the core, but the sword was held in the hands of the Qiang soldiers, and the people had no lead, so they could only dare to be angry but not speak out. They were all patient and praying to heaven to let the government army come quickly and suppress these rebels.
After being frightened, the Qiang soldiers began to frighten the people. Just like the Ah Q in later generations, they were bullied and had nowhere to vent their anger, so they bullied the little nun. They could always find someone who was weaker than themselves, and they could bully them!
The city was in chaos, and the degree of chaos was getting worse and worse, and there was a tendency to spread from the city gate to the whole city. But Li Wenhou was confused. He was still standing at the top of the city, looking at the busy Fujiaojun in the distance, thinking, what are they doing? It doesn’t seem like they are going to camp. It’s impossible to camp so close. They are leveling the ground? But what’s the use of leveling the ground? Some people are still moving stones, leveling the ground, and moving stones. I really don’t understand what they are going to do!
After dark, the weather suddenly changed. The day was still fine, but at night, it started to rain and snow. It shouldn't have rained at this time, but somehow it was raining tonight, and it was getting heavier and heavier. After dark, the entire Lingju County was shrouded in a vast white area.
After the rain and snow fell to the ground, a thin layer of cold formed soon after, while the Qiang soldiers were wet all over. The Fujiao Army was busy outside. Li Wenhou did not even go in to shelter from the rain and snow. Who could the Qiang soldiers go in?
Li Wenhou's beard and eyebrows were covered with white frost, but he still looked in the distance motionlessly, and he could no longer see the Fujiao Army. However, Li Wenhou clearly felt that the Fujiao Army must be doing something shameful!
In such bad weather, the horn-held soldiers not only did not set up camp and set up tents, but were still busy. They really couldn't figure out what they were busy with. The more they didn't understand, the more worried he was, the more creepy he felt, the stronger he became.
The Qiang soldiers stomped their feet on the city wall, shrank their necks, and kept yelling at their mouths. Everyone was whispering. The soldiers who were slapping their horns below were too troubled. They were still tossing themselves in this weather, and it would be fine if they tossed themselves, but they were also froze!
After all, the Qiang soldiers were all chaotic. Li Wenhou had less restraint on them and they became even more unruly. Many people got off the city wall and hid in private houses. They estimated that in this kind of weather, the Fujiao Army would not engage in night battles. Even if there was a night battle, it would be okay. When there was any movement outside, they would run up to the city wall and there was still time.
The Qiang soldiers in the city were cold, and the Fujiao soldiers outside the city were even colder. They were wearing iron armor, rain and snow, which almost made them freeze. However, Dian Wei never issued an order to take off the iron armor, and the supervision was extremely tight, allowing them to work constantly, clean up the venue, and bring big stones. The Fujiao soldiers could only do it. Although it was cold, they could be a little warm after being busy for a long time.
Another hour passed, and when it was almost midnight, a loud hooves came from afar. Li Qin and the Fujiao Army brigade arrived. He would not have come so quickly, and the large army and the cavalry were separated by a long distance. Li Qin asked the cavalry to slow down in advance, and the large army accelerated. The time was calculated, and the large army would arrive at Lingju County at midnight to conduct a night siege.
Everything is quite accurate, except for the sudden change in the weather, it suddenly started to rain and snow!
When he arrived outside Lingju County, Li Qin saw Dian Wei coming to greet him and asked, "How is the city defense? How powerful is Li Wenhou's army?"
Dian Wei smiled and said, "The city defense must have made a lot of preparations. They dare to send troops to fight in the field, which means that the city defense must be solid, otherwise how dare you open the city gate. But when it comes to combat power, it will be so weak. Five Qiang generals came out in one breath, and I was all beaten to death!"
Li Qin smiled and said, "You killed them and took off your power? Ah, no, you should have killed them and left the city and left the power!"
Jia Xu also smiled and said, "You killed five Qiang generals with one killing spear, and they killed them. Where are the Qiang soldiers?"
Dian Wei shook his head and said, "Without taking advantage of the victory, hundreds of Qiang soldiers came out. When they saw that the generals were dead, they flew in like a swarm. They did not suffer any major losses. I came according to the instructions of the young master and did not act recklessly!"
Li Qin nodded. He did instruct Dian Wei in this way. Dian Wei was good at executing orders. He insisted on executing orders, no matter whether the order was right or wrong. This is very reassuring.
Li Qin said: "It is more useful to keep the Qiang soldiers alive than to kill them. When they spread our terrible news, the Qiang soldiers from other departments will also be afraid of us. The more people who are doing publicity for us, the better."
While speaking, Gao Shun came over. Since he joined Li Qin, Li Qin did not pay special attention to him, and he did not directly serve him as an official. Instead, he made him a team leader. After seeing that he had talent in military training, he was promoted to him as a garrison. He saw that he had insights on using equipment, so he was promoted to him as a military marquis. It can be said that Gao Shun rose step by step, steadily, not only was he more and more valued by Li Qin, but his squadron soldiers under him admired him very much. Although his fame in the army is not as good as Dian Wei and a few old squadron soldiers, he has a very high prestige among the new recruits and has a faint attitude of being the first new recruit.
Gao Shun stepped forward and said to Li Qin: "Li Lang, the ground has been sorted out by the Sima of the Dian Jun. I am also ready for the siege car. I can launch an attack at any time, just waiting for your order."
Li Qin asked: "Will using a corner cannon in this kind of weather cause deviations on the correct head?"
Gao Shun shook his head and said, "It has some impact on the corner-helping cannon, but it is not very important. It is not that it cannot be used. It is just that the gunners have to work harder. It is estimated that they have to project several times in advance to find the correct head!"
Li Qin waved his hand and said, "Then throw a stone to shock Li Wenhou and let him stop sleeping in this night. We work so hard. If we don't let him work hard, that would be too sorry for the conscience of heaven and earth!"
Gao Shun took the order and left. Soon after, he led the horn-punching artillery and pushed a horn-punching artillery to the ground of one arrow. The horn-punching artillery was not far away. However, due to the bad weather, they could not see them on the city wall. Of course, they could not see them on the city wall, and they could not even see them clearly. The distance of the horn-punching cavalry just marked it, and it was a rough position. If you want to shoot a stone, you had to be more precise and repositioned.
Ten archers left the line, lit the rocket, and shot the arrows. The shafts were soaked with tinder oil. Even if they were stained with rain and snow, they would not be extinguished immediately. They can be used to measure the distance.
Ten rockets shot out, but they didn't shoot to the city wall. Some shot across the moat, but they didn't shoot before, and some shot to the ice of the moat. Then there were ten arrows, and ten more arrows, shooting hundreds of arrows over, and then they shot out the distance!
Li Wenhou on the city wall heard the sound and knew that another unit of the Fujiao Army had arrived. Now he saw the rockets shooting over, and he thought to himself: "The accuracy is bad enough, and it's stupid enough. What kind of rockets are shot in this kind of weather? The fire will be extinguished after a while. Could it be that they can't see that there are no torches on the city wall!"
