Chapter 400 The Power of Artillery

Yelu Yande was guarding Lizhou City at the moment. Yelu Yande was very anxious. Wanyan Shabuli had been away from here for four or five days, but there was still no news. He didn't know what the status of their battle was! In fact,

Although Yelu Yande also valued Liangshan, he was still a little superstitious about the Jurchens' fighting power. He felt that there might be a glimmer of hope for Wanyan Sabuli to stop the Liangshan army!

On the 29th of the first lunar month, a small group of troops from Liangshan appeared below, and Yelu Yande had already begun to set up defenses!

At dusk on the 29th, he saw a group of people supporting the arrival of a man. The man pointed at the city above, and laughter kept coming from below! At that time, he did not know that the man below was the Governor of Liangshan, otherwise he would be very worried.

They may lead an army of soldiers out of the city to capture Wu Dong. (·~)- -

At night, the number of soldiers and horses in Liangshan was increasing, and he became more and more anxious!

"Mr. Yelu, the city lord hasn't come back yet, what should we do now?" The captain of the new annexed army came to his side and asked with worry on his face.

The status of the captain of ten thousand men in the new annexed army is far inferior to that of the Jurchens' captain of ten thousand men, and even not as good as that of the ordinary Jurchen captains of thousands. Among the various ethnic groups under the Jurchens, the Han people ranked last.

Chang Zheng is a Han Chinese, and his status at the moment is much inferior to that of Yelu Yande.

"Defend the city well. We still have more than 25,000 people in our hands. We will definitely be able to defend the city!" Yelu Yande could only say this.

But having said that, it’s a pity that he doesn’t have much confidence in his heart! Twenty thousand of the so-called 25,000 people are slave soldiers. These slave soldiers have not been trained. Many slave soldiers have not eaten a single meal all winter.

After a full meal, their faces are sallow, their muscles are thin, and their bodies are weak. How much fighting power can they have?

The defensive equipment in the city is very sufficient. Of course, these defensive equipment are not the Jurchens' own, but the defensive equipment of the Liao Kingdom. The Liao Kingdom was the largest country at that time. Although Lizhou was a small town, it was still

Be prepared!

Yeluyande patrolled the city wall with the captain. He could see that the morale of the soldiers was very bad. Some even wanted to escape, but he blocked them! Some slave soldiers had no fighting spirit, and many slave soldiers shrank.

They didn't dare to come forward in the corner, and these slave soldiers were severely punished by his orders! Of course, Yelu Yande and Han Qinghe of Zongzhou City were different from Liu Li. He was usually very friendly to the soldiers, and now here

There was no soldier rebellion.[]

"I have sent people to Jinzhou City to ask for help! His Royal Highness from Jinzhou City should be here?" Yelu Yande said secretly.

Jinzhou City is a famous city in the north, and its status is also very important to the Jurchens. It guards Liaodong and the China-Beijing passage. If the Liangshan soldiers and horses in Liaodong want to advance westward, they must break this city. And this city was the original Liaoning city.

Yelu Abao, the founding emperor of the country

It was built with millions of Han slaves, and the city walls are extremely strong. The number of Jurchen troops stationed there is also extremely large, reaching 50,000, and they are all elite soldiers! It can be said that it is now a Jurchen city.

The core city is located.

The guard of Jinzhou City is Wanyan Zongjun, the son of Wanyan Aguda!

Wanyan Zongjun's status in history is not as good as Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zonghan and others, nor as good as Wanyan Zongbi, Wanyan Zongfu and others, but in fact he is an important figure in the Jin Kingdom. The reason why he is not famous enough in history is mainly because

Because he died too young.

He is the fifth of Wanyan Aguda, but unlike other emperors, he is born to the queen of Wanyan Aguda, and is worthy of the name of "the direct descendant". In ancient times, whether in the Central Plains or the north, the status of the direct descendants was extremely high. Originally

In the history of Wanyan Aguda

After his death, the throne was passed to his younger brother Wanyan Wu Qimai. After Wanyan Wu Qimai's death, the throne should have been passed to Wanyan Zongjun. However, because Wanyan Zongjun died early, the throne was passed to Wanyan Wu Qimai.

It fell into the hands of Wanyan Zongjun’s son Wanyan Heci!

Historically, Wanyan Zongjun was injured while attacking Datong, Xijing, Liao State, and died as a result. However, now the Jurchens have not gone south to attack Yanyun at all, and Wanyan Zongjun is still alive and well.

Wanyan Zongjun's military talents were not as good as those of Wanyan Zongwang and others, but because he was a direct descendant, his status was different, so Wanyan Aguda put him in the rear to guard Jinzhou City. [Ye*] [*]

Wanyan Sabuli had just left, and Yelu Yande had already gone to ask Wanyan Zongjun for help. He thought that Wanyan Zongjun should have sent troops by now.

"As long as we persist for two or three days, His Highness will be able to lead his army! By then, we may be able to stop the Liangshan army." Yelu Yande said secretly.

There were bonfires and torches lit by Liangshan troops everywhere below. At this moment, he saw the Liangshan troops below began to gather. Yelu Yande was taken aback. He hurriedly told the new auxiliary troops and slave troops to be more careful.

Although the Liangshan army below had gathered, it was still a certain distance away from here. Relying on the torches below, he suddenly saw the Liangshan army move out of the middle, and countless civilians pushed a group of pro-weird weapons towards the front.

A total of 30 artillery pieces from the Third Army have been transported here. At this moment, the artillery pieces have been arranged in a row, and the muzzles of the artillery pieces are all pointing in the direction of Lizhou City!

Seeing the artillery appearing in front, Liangshan's army gave out bursts of cheers!

The soldiers have long known that this artillery is also called "General Cannon". Each artillery is equivalent to a "General". There are 30 artillery pieces here, which is almost equivalent to tens of thousands of troops.

"What on earth is down there?" Yeluyande looked at the artillery below and asked a little strangely. The commanders and centurions next to him were also secretly surprised. They didn't know what it was.

The Liangshan soldiers below let out bursts of cheers. In their cheers, the artillery began to light up.

Seeing the artillery being lit, the soldiers in front of the artillery fell silent. This quiet atmosphere seemed to be contagious. Soon the entire Liangshan army fell silent. Everyone was waiting for the moment when the artillery was fired.

Countless soldiers have covered their ears. They naturally know how amazing the sound is when the artillery is fired! Since the artillery was transported to the Third Army, it has been tested many times, and each time the soldiers were shocked! This

Once, on the battlefield, artillery will finally exert its due power!

The lead continues to burn and has reached its end...

boom!

With an earth-shaking loud noise, the first artillery piece had fired its shells, and then the sound of "boom, boom, boom" was heard, and 30 artillery pieces let out an earth-shattering roar.

The ground was shaking crazily, and many soldiers had lost their footing and fell to the ground. Their ears were ringing, but they all had expressions of ecstasy on their faces!

In their sight, there was smoke everywhere in front of them, but through the smoke, they could still see that the city wall had collapsed, and Lizhou City had opened its gate to them!

Originally, the power of such primitive artillery was limited. During the Liberation War of later generations, the People's Liberation Army also used artillery to attack cities. The power of artillery at that time was much stronger than it is now, but even then it took a very long time to fire the artillery to break the city. But now

In just one blow, the wall of Lizhou City collapsed!

The main reason is that Lizhou City is too small and the city wall is too thin!

Not to mention artillery, a city wall like this can collapse with dozens of hits from an ordinary siege vehicle!

The defenders on the city wall were completely stunned at this moment. Countless people had been killed by artillery, and those who were not dead stood there blankly.

They felt that their ears were useless and could not hear anything. It took them a long time to feel the "buzzing" sound.

"It's not good! Thunder is falling from the sky, and there are monsters in the Liangshan army! Run away!" Suddenly a centurion yelled and went down crazily.

"Run! Run for your life!"

All the soldiers reacted and fled away into the distance, crying!

Some soldiers were injured by artillery, and some even had their legs and hands broken, but they still gritted their teeth and ran away. The power of artillery really frightened them. Not to mention that they had seen it before, they had never heard of such a thing in the world.

weapons.

Countless new auxiliary troops and slave troops fled frantically into the distance. At this moment, another loud "boom" sound came!

The 30 artillery pieces began to spit out tongues of fire again, and the shells continued to fall. This time, the front was almost a thoroughfare!

The war drums of Liangshan have already sounded. As the war drums sound, the soldiers of Liangshan also shout and rush forward!

The crossbowmen were at the front, firing a burst of cover fire towards the front, but their actions were obviously redundant. All the defenders above had fled, and there were only a few left!

The infantry have already charged forward!

Yelu Yande did not leave at this moment. He was hiding in the corner. His face was pale. He never dreamed that Lizhou City would end like this! The speed was too fast, unbelievably fast.

"Thunder, there are actually people in the Liangshan Army who can make thunder! It turns out that there really is such a magical power in the world!" Yelu Yande couldn't help but have such thoughts while despairing.

He was just a student, and he originally didn’t believe in the various monsters, ghosts, and snakes spoken by the folk! He thought the folk legends about gods and ghosts were ridiculous, but now he knew that they were “true,” which changed his worldview.

Earth-shaking changes have taken place.

"Thunder is real, and everything else is real. No wonder the emperor of the Song Dynasty wanted to ask for immortality. It turns out that such a thing does exist!" He didn't know what was wrong with him, that he still had such thoughts at this moment.

At this moment, several soldiers rushed over. One soldier kicked Yeluyande to the ground. The soldier next to him was about to poke his spear at Yeluyande. The previous soldier hurriedly stopped him.

.

"Looks like he's a general! Hurry, capture him and present him to the Governor!" the soldier said excitedly.

The soldiers nearby took action one after another. They secretly told Yelu Yande. One soldier grabbed Yelu Yande's arm and twisted it backwards. Yelu Yande let out a scream and his waist couldn't help but bend down.

At this moment, Wu Dong, Yang Lin and others have also entered the city filled with smoke. Please come to watch the first release without ads - -
