Chapter 242 The blood is not cold
After these hundreds of Vishena soldiers were repelled, the Song army then advanced rapidly. The Vishena soldiers were already lost and there was no decent resistance along the way. Until the Song army led their troops to the capital of Vishena, the Vishena soldiers had no choice but to bite the bullet and defend Yingcheng.
The two Song troops met at the city and surrounded the castle. Yue Ju and Guo Ni each had two thousand combat soldiers, and the wing army assisted in the battle was as many as 7,000. The total strength of the Song army exceeded 10,000, the population in the castle was only 50,000 or 60,000, and the young and strong were only 20,000. The equipment and combat power of the two sides were very different, so it seemed that there was no suspense to capture the castle.
After the meeting, the two groups of people joined together, but the commander was Guo Ni. The Song army set up the camp, and then Guo Ni promoted the tent and summoned the generals to discuss matters, saying that it was a discussion. In fact, Guo Ni could no longer help but issue orders. The military achievements in front of him were at their fingertips, so let's take the military achievements to his own name.
Yue Ju is not the kind of person who talks a lot, but Guo Ni claims to be a wise general. The general in the tent only hears Guo Ni's saliva and explains the situation in front of him clearly. Yue Ju sat upright on one side, with no expression on his face, and Chen Yujie didn't know what Yue Ju was thinking at the moment.
In Chen Yujie's eyes, the city wall was very high, and Guo Ni also said it was about 1 zhang high, probably four meters high. I don't know if it was taught by Master Shen. Anyway, the city wall was similar to the city wall of the Song Dynasty. However, according to Guo Ni, this city wall was much worse than the city built by the Song Dynasty. Chen Yujie had never seen what kind of solid method the city wall of the Song Dynasty was. Anyway, when Chen Yujie thought of the plot of the Ant Attack Siege in the costume TV series, he felt trembling for no reason. Guo Ni's idea of siege at the moment was of course also siege at the siege. This is nothing new. It is probably like this in this era, but it was filled with the lives of soldiers. Whether the generals are wise or stupid generals, it seems that they only have this move.
Guo Ni's one-man show was almost done, and his right hand was lying towards the arrow. Chen Yujie thought to himself, if this arrow was sent out, I don't know how many soldiers would lie on the city wall.
No, we have to try to change it. So Chen Yujie took advantage of Guo Ni's difficulty in stopping, took a step forward and said:
"General Guo, General Guo thought of a plan that can quickly capture the castle and reduce casualties. General Guo dared to ask General Guo to let me tell you."
Chen Yujie was quite taboo about the strict military rules of the Song Dynasty, for fear that he would cause something wrong with him, so he imitated the tone of his subordinates in the TV series and gave a half-literary opening remark. Chen Yujie thought to himself, at least we are polite, right? When he arrived in the Song Dynasty, the first principle was not to offend the commander and avoid being worn by others.
"Oh, it turns out to be Chen Dutou. I was just thinking about whether to use the cannon to blast it for a while before attacking the city. I don't expect Chen Dutou to have other clever plans. Okay, what clever plans does Chen Dutou have? I hope to hear about it."
When Guo Ni saw that it was Chen Yujie, he still had to give him the face of Tang Haihui. Last time Guo Ni saw Lu Qi'an's demonstration of PAD, Guo Ni learned from it. He thought that most of the time, Tang Haihui might have a secret skill, so he should not be taken lightly. If other people talk too much, Guo Ni would probably not have the patience to listen. Besides, Chen Yujie performed well this time, and maybe he didn't have any tricks, so what he said.
Chen Yujie then offered advice on the spot, asking the two groups of musket teams to be united, commanded by himself, and try out new tactics. If it fails, it will not be too late to start the traditional tactic of ants supporting the siege.
Guo Ni made up a little in his mind and agreed to what Chen Yujie asked, only blamed him for being a different person in Guo Ni's mind. Besides, Guo Ni calls himself a wise general and has a natural hobby for strange and extraordinary strategies, so Chen Yujie's successful volunteer this time was somewhat of a lucky element.
Chen Yujie gathered thirty or sixty firearm soldiers, thinking that he was barely considered a battalion commander at this moment. After fighting this battle, he might be able to be promoted to one level or two levels.
What puzzled Guo Ni was that Chen Yujie's first thing was to look at the direction of the wind. Could this person surnamed Chen also want to use the miracle of the east wind?
It was sunny today, the sun was as bright as fire, but there was wind, but the wind was not strong. Chen Yujie finally chose the southeast according to the wind direction, and then with an order, the firearms team lined up in the southeast. According to Chen Yujie's requirements, Guo Ni transferred another 800 battle soldiers to arrange the array in the back. According to Chen Yujie's requirements, only cloud ladders were prepared on this side. By the way, Guo Ni had prepared a lot of siege equipment before, but Chen Yujie only had cloud ladders, which was too shabby. The siege equipment of my Song Dynasty was excellent. It was not that Chen's surname would not use those complicated equipment at all.
While Guo Ni was thinking about it, Chen Yujie had already assigned it. The army in front of him spread out two large balls of colorful silk. Guo Ni knew that it was about to raise a hot air balloon.
Guo Ni had seen this hot air balloon. It was an aerial sighting artifact to direct the launch of cannons. Well, this is to use cannons to bombard the castle, which is easy to understand.
Two hot air balloons slowly rose in a blink of an eye, and the cables below were placed bit by bit, and the hot air balloons rose little by bit. After a while, the two balloons rose to mid-air. Due to the wind direction, the balloons floated towards the top of the city. Chen Yujie directed two bands of soldiers pulling the cables to move back until the two balloons floated directly above the top of the city, and then gave up.
Then as Guo Ni expected, the cannons that had already been in place began to test-fire at the top of the city. After firing more than a dozen calibrated projectiles, an unprecedented round of artillery bombardment began.
It is said to be unprecedented because there has never been a precedent for six artillery volleys in this time and space. The most powerful moment in the Taiwan mobilization operation was that two artillery fired volleys. After a few shots, the natives fled in all directions and no longer needed to continue firing cannons. So at most, they only had more than a dozen cannons, and their momentum was naturally far less than the spectacularity of today's artillery bombings. Guo Ni was a little distracted at the moment, and Yue Ju was almost the same. As for the Song soldiers, including the soldiers of the Xiang army, they were deeply shocked.
However, in Chen Yujie's opinion, there are only six guns, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to load them. After a volley, it takes at least thirty seconds to launch again. This can only be called a drizzle and is far from reaching the standard of carpet bombing.
Of course, Chen Yujie would not be satisfied with such a loose shelling effect, and Chen Yujie had a last move.
Qin Jianlai and Lin Wu were in the hanging basket of one of the hot air balloons at this moment. Qin Jianlai could see clearly from a high point. The two rounds of artillery bombs had already made the city wall mess. The Pishena soldiers at the city wall didn't know how to avoid shells. The iron bombs fired at high speed caused terrifying damage to the city wall. But soon, after paying the expensive tuition fees, the Pishena soldiers finally knew how to hide behind the battlements. As a result, the casualties caused by solid shells were greatly reduced.
Qin Jianlai glanced at the baskets of bomb grenades under his feet, and a hint of pride surged in his heart. He thought, "Do not, hide, wait for the grenade to fall from the sky, and see that you barbarians are still hiding there!"
Soon, Qin Jian came and waited for the flag saying of throwing bombs.
At this time, the cannon had stopped. Qin Jianlai grabbed a ceramic shell bomb with one hand, pulled the fuse, and threw it down. He Lin Wu, next to him, chose an iron shell grenade, which was also pulled the fire and threw it down.
"Boom boom", "Boom boom", four bombs exploded, but only one bomb hit the top of the city. Even so, Qin Jianlai noticed that three Vishena soldiers were bombed off the top of the city in the smoke of gunpowder.
It exploded again, and this time two of the four were exploded on the top of the city.
When Guo Ni saw this, he found that he had this trick. It was such a magical stroke!
However, Chen Yujie was very dissatisfied. These idiots, don’t rush to throw them down after pulling the fire. Wait for a second or two before throwing them, so that they can explode in the air. Wouldn’t it be all the damage to the city? Of course, it is best to explode in the sky one or two meters away from the city. In that case, the effect will definitely be the best.
Fortunately, Vishena at the top of the city did not have any long-range weapons and could do nothing to the hot air balloons in the air. So Chen Yujie had time to play flags, but the four guys on the hot air balloons had limited IQ, so he didn't understand what the flags below meant. It was strange that he had no precise shooting in advance about how to throw grenades down in the best way, so he had to let these stupid birds waste ammunition. At least the effect was still there.
When Chen Yujie was no longer expecting anything, Qin Jianlai suddenly opened his mind. After throwing eight ceramic shell bombs in succession, he finally delayed the iron shell bombs before throwing them down. As a result, one bomb was extremely effective, and exploded in the air next to the city, killing five or six Vishena barbarians. Afterwards, according to Qin Jian, at the moment when he threw the iron bombs down, he felt that the iron bomb essence was very expensive and he was a little reluctant to throw it down. Of course, it was even worse if he pulled the fire and didn't throw it down. So Qin Jian got it away by mistake. Then, Lin Wu also got it, and then the two people on the other hot air balloon did the same. At this moment, the Vishena soldiers at the city were in trouble.
For a moment, smoke was shrouded in the city and flesh and blood were flying everywhere.
That's not all. Taking advantage of the death and injury pillow on the top of the city, Chen Yujie gave the order, and a hundred grenades rushed to the city wall, rushed to the edge of the trench, and threw grenades at the top of the city through the trench. Speaking of these grenades by the Song army, there are three types of grenades. One is a grenade with a full ceramic shell, one is a grenade with a broken porcelain piece in the paper shell, and the most expensive one is an iron shell grenade. Chen Yujie felt that the first two were just transitional grenades, but Chen Yujie had to admit that these two grenades were at least cheap and had a good effect.
At this moment, there were free-fall bombs on the hot air balloon, grenades thrown by grenades underneath, and cannons in the distance were fired at a volley every once in a while. The city wall, which was more than 200 meters wide, suddenly turned into a hell.
Guo Ni saw that the smoke filled the city and the explosions were heard one after another, and she was a little stunned for a moment. Damn, can anyone still be alive? Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and ants to attack the city.
Chen Yujie was indeed a little stunned at this moment. In the hazy state, he imagined this scene as an anti-Japanese war. Speaking of being a soldier in later generations, he was training and training. He didn't get a real battle, and later Chen Yujie retired. It was meaningless to think about it. China suffered countless humiliations in later generations, but he didn't have the chance to use the gun in his hand to avenge the country. After becoming a soldier, he became numb.
"Tao Chen Du, rush! rush!"
Fortunately, someone next to him reminded Chen Yujie that he woke up. In fact, Guo Ni behind him had already issued an order, and the Song army rushed forward at this time.
Chen Yujie shouted, ran forward mechanically for a while, suddenly stopped, and witnessed the soldiers crossing the trench, climbing up from the ladder, then crossing the battlements, and finally occupying the city. More and more Song troops attacking the city, and the victory was unshakable.
At this moment, Chen Yujie was a little tearful and his eyes were blurred. The pain in his heart seemed to be vented at this moment, and then a huge amount of passion arose in his heart.
