Chapter 294 Listen to the golden thief inside, surrender quickly!
On June 18th, the third year of Hongwu in the Song Dynasty, Shenshi was in the afternoon.
A cannon barracks filled with straw bags and then piled up to form finally appeared on the grassland and river beach 250 steps away from the city wall west of Wulahai City. If you look down from a high place, you can find that the cannon barracks are a rectangle surrounded by straw bags, which are more than 200 steps long and only more than 30 steps wide.
Among them, the side facing Wulahai City is the most solid, with straw bags piled very thick, close to the Beihe section of the Yellow River. The barrier is about a hundred steps long and is as high as eight feet. If you look straight from the opposite side, you can't see the cannons at all - because this section of cannons is used to protect 32 25-jin hot pot cannons. These 32 hot pot cannons are the main force of this shelling!
The 25-pound bullet weight has already made this kind of cannon have an astonishing lethality to any castle! Even if it fails to hit the city wall and falls into the city, it will hit anyone and die!
How powerful is it to fall from the sky with a 25-pound large iron ball or stone ball? Not to mention that the human head cannot hold on, even the roof cannot hold on, and it will have to smash holes.
In addition, the Song army's artillery also burned the stove in the fortress. They would heat up the 25-pound iron bullets, then put on wooden boards, stuff them into the cannon chamber, and finally bombard them! If you are hit by this high-temperature iron bullet, it will not be smashed into meat sauce, but will be smashed into cooked meat sauce!
It can be said that in Wulahai City, no matter where the 32 hot pot cannons are fired, they can't be stunned when the cannons are shot... How can they be stopped? They are killed by iron balls and stone bullets falling from the sky anytime and anywhere. If they cannot be killed, they may be buried in the sea of fire and turn into barbecue!
On the right side of this eight-foot-high barrier, there are more than a hundred steps, three or four feet high, and a barrier made of straw bags. The 36 5-jin casserole cannons lined up in a row, and were placed behind this section of cannon. The muzzles of the 36 jin casserole cannons have been flattened, and they are all aimed at the guard wall of the west gate of Wulahai City. The gunners were all in place, and the 5-jin iron bullets were stuffed into the cannon chamber with the medicine bag. The gunners were holding long spears wrapped around the fuse, waiting nervously for the order to fire.
The infantry in the brigade was wearing a strong and held sharp edges, carrying a pot of fried pots, arranged neatly behind these 36 5-jin casserole cannons, and they were eager to try, just waiting for the 36 5-jin cannons to collapse the walls of Wulahai City.
According to the plan, 32 25-jin hotpot cannons will be mainly used to attack the city head and the targets in the city, and force the Jin soldiers away from the area near the west wall of Wulahai City. The 36 5-jin casserole cannons will be used to "demolite the city wall"... They will concentrate their firepower to strike a section of the city wall. As long as the city is demolished successfully, the infantry affiliated with the Shaanxi First Army will launch an attack and use the blowing pot to blow up an attack breakthrough.
Then the cavalry of the Yulin Army will ride horses to rush into the breakthrough point. The reason for using cavalry to break through is not to launch a cavalry attack in the city, but to put the most troops into the breakthrough point in the shortest time...
Yue Fei, Li Shifu and Wu Jie all walked into a cover section located at the junction of two sections of artillery blocks. The distance between the wall on the west side of Wulahai City was only 200 or so steps away from the straight line of the city wall on the west side of Wulahai City, with no obstruction in the middle. You can see the situation up and down the city wall that is about to be bombarded without a telescope.
The sky is still bright now, and there is still time for Song Jun’s 32 25-jin hotpot cannons to complete the sighting. As for the 36 5-jin casserole cannons, it doesn’t take too much time to observe and aim... The targets that are more than 200 steps away, are you still afraid that the cannons that can aim directly and shoot, are you afraid that they will not hit?
Yue Fei raised his telescope and pointed it at the city top of Wulahai City... There are so many fragments on the city top! There are a lot of cannons, forks, gang boards, enemy towers, battle sheds, towers, bamboo fences and plaques! There are also various banners, all of which are flammable!
It seems that the Jin soldiers in Wulahai City did not learn from the lessons of the Western thieves in the Reward Yikou and Lingzhou Diba City, and were still using the old methods before the "hot pot era" to defend the city!
Yue Fei smiled and put down the telescope, and said to the left and right: "Send someone who can speak Jurchen or Khitan to tell the Jin thieves in Wulahai City, give them a quarter of an hour to consider surrender. If they refuse to surrender... then they will be dead!
Also, let the man walk over and count the steps... count it carefully!"
"Get orders!"
The military officer Li Qiong followed Yue Fei. After receiving the order, he immediately sent an officer from the Changsheng Army to swaying with a white flag and swaying to the city of Wulahai with a white flag. Then he opened his throat and shouted.
"I heard the golden thief inside. Our Grand Marshal Yue asked you to surrender quickly... Give you a quarter of an hour to think clearly. If you don't surrender in a quarter of an hour, you will be ready to blow the city! Then all of you golden thieves will be stewed with a pot!"
"Create a pot? What does this mean?"
Wu Qimai heard the call from the Song army officer. At this time, he was hiding behind the city wall outside the west gate of Wulahai City, and poked his head out to look out - I don't know what he was looking at? Now there are 36 5-pound casserole cannons facing his location, and I don't know if he saw it?
Thanks to Yue Fei's kindness and righteousness, he had to persuade him to kill him first. Otherwise, the 36 cannons would fire together, and perhaps the entire protective wall would collapse...
"The meaning of boiling the pot is..." Wu Qi bought his son Wanyan Zongpan, "I just want to catch us and cook it in a big pot!"
"Cooked?" Wu Qimai took a breath, "Why are you so cruel?"
"Yes, Zhao Kai's people are so cruel!" Wanyan Zongpan gritted his teeth and said, "Their military songs say: Ambitions to eat the meat of the barbarians, laugh at the thirst and drink the blood of the Huns... Those who eat human flesh and drink blood are simply not human! Father, why don't we go back to the palace first..."
"Hmph!" Wanyan Wu Qimai snorted, "This Yue Fei is just like this, he didn't even fight, so he told us to surrender, which means he underestimated the enemy!
And he didn't know that I was still in Wulahai City, otherwise it would be impossible for someone to come to persuade him to surrender. This is because he didn't know the enemy... He didn't know the enemy and underestimated the enemy. This is the way to defeat! We will definitely win this battle!"
"The father is right!" Wanyan Zongpan said compliments while poking his head out to look around and found that the Song army officer was walking slowly and his steps were extremely neat, as if he was undergoing inspection... It was strange!
Thinking of this, Zong Pan said again: "Father, the time is still there, so you should go back to the palace to rest first... After dark, we will have to attack at night!"
Wanyan Wu Qimai waved his hand and said, "Let me look at it for a while... The camp of the Song people was built strangely, why are they high and low?"
"Then let's just shoot in from the lower side?" Wanyan Zongpan said, "Dad, I'll take the lead tonight!"
Wanyan Wu Qimai glanced at his son, and then looked at the Song people's cannon for a while, "Let the Hebule fight the first team, you fight the second team... Be careful! Remember, you will come back if you grab a big tube.
As long as we grab the big tube, even if we can't defend Wulahai City, we will win."
In fact, Zhao Kai even bought a casserole cannon for Wu Qi, and the Great Jin Dynasty could not use it!
Because the Great Jin Dynasty does not have good launching medicine (gunpowder) at all, the gunpowder used to launch projectiles must be more reliable and have a more stable quality. It cannot be powerful for a while, and then less powerful for a while.
"It's so ruthless!" Wanyan Zongpan responded and said, "Father, let's go back."
Wanyan Wu Qimai nodded, "Okay, let's go back together."
After saying this, Wu Qimai turned around and surrounded by his son and his guards, he strode towards the city gate.
As soon as he walked into the city gate, the big guy suddenly trembled, and then a loud noise came from behind Wu Qimai!
"boom......"
It's really a shaking place!
Wu Qimai was so scared that his calves shivered and almost lay there. Fortunately, someone helped him and saved his imperial dignity.
But there was no more than a loud roar, but it came endlessly!
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
The huge roar was mixed with Wanyan Zongpan's screams and scolding: "He is N, the one named Yue is a despicable villain... It's not a quarter of an hour yet! Why did he get a blowjob?"
Yes, it’s not a quarter of an hour! How can you Song people fire? This is a breach of trust! Who will still believe you in the future?
Wanyan Zongpan had just finished scolding, and even louder screams arose.
"It's collapsed, it's collapsed...the wall is collapsed!"
The city wall is about to collapse?
The city wall looks very thick, two feet thick, why is it going to collapse? What's the quality?
Wanyan Wu Qimai was shocked... He was in the city gate! He was about to collapse, wouldn't he be buried alive? This is too inexplicable, right?
"Hurry, protect the emperor and run! I'll cut off the rear!" Wanyan Zongpan was a filial son after all, and he shouted to the guards beside him to protect Wu Qimai and escape into the city. He himself wanted to cut off the rear! I don't know if he wanted to bring his father to block 5 kilograms of solid bullets?
After arranging his father to run away, Wanyan Zongpan pulled out the scimitar, then turned around and shouted: "I will hold back... Those who retreat will be killed!"
"Boom..."
Another loud bang!
The wall collapsed!
It’s not that the city wall collapsed, but that the guard wall blocking outside the city gate collapsed!
The wall is not very thick at all, it is just used to block the enemy's sight. How can it withstand the hammer of 5 kilograms of solid bullets? It was hammered a few times and then collapsed, burying all the Jurchens hiding behind the wall. Although Wanyan Zongpan did not bury it, the collapse of the city wall produced countless dust, which made the city gate hole full of dust, unable to see anything, and it was difficult to breathe... All that was sucked in was dust!
Wanyan Zongpan himself couldn't stay there anymore, so he had to cover his mouth and cough while running into the city gate. It was only a little better when he arrived in the city and could always breathe. But before he could take a breath, he heard a more dense roar, and the ground under his feet was shaking even more violently.
The 25-pound arson bomb from the Song people has fallen from the sky!
