Chapter 495 The big money is really over! Ask for a monthly pass)
The Grand Marshal of the Song Dynasty and Jinzhou were deployed on all sides. Shangqing and the Mu Gao of Runan County stood on a small earth slope behind the main artillery position. Less than two miles away in front of him was the core fortress of Jinzhou Hamburg.
The three triangular forts that guarded the south wall of the core fortress of Jinzhou Hamburg were all collapsed into ruins. Although the three piles of ruins can provide some cover for the wall of the core fortress of Jinzhou to a certain extent, two large sections of walls were still exposed to the muzzle of the Song army. Niu Gao aimed the 120 10-jin cannons in his hand at these two sections of walls, and spent half a day to test the firing before the official shelling began.
In addition, on the north bank of Xiaoling River, the launch positions of the three hot pot gun groups have also been set up. These three positions cleverly utilized the ruins of the three Triangle Forts for cover, so they were all at the shooting dead end of the direct-fire artillery set up on the wall of the core castle of Jinzhou Hamburg.
Six of the ten siege artillery generals assigned to Niu Gao are now placed on these three positions. More than 200 25-pound hot pot cannons have been placed in place, and multiple rounds of test fires have been carried out. Now the ammunition players of the hot pot cannons are squatting on the ground, holding the expensive copper-skinned flowering bullets on the side, and waiting nervously for the order to load and fire.
In front of these three artillery positions, along the three ruins, a rectangular starting position was built with sandbags. Twenty or thirty 5-pound cannons were placed behind the position, and six infantrymen with more than 12,000 strong and sharp stern squatted behind the sandbags, waiting for the bombardment to begin.
At this moment, a rapid sound of horse hooves came from behind Niu Gao. Niu Gao turned around and saw Yue Fei's brother Yue Fan leading a team of pegasus, and soon arrived behind Niu Gao. Yue Fan ceased the horses while shouting loudly: "Taiwei Niu, the official family thinks that it is almost enough to shoot artillery now!"
Well, this is just a suggestion, not an imperial edict, but Niu Gao's work. Zhao Kai just made some rational suggestions.
Niu Gao nodded and said to the staff and staff on both sides: "I also feel that it's almost done to command the artillery formations and immediately launch a cannon to bombard the city!"
The staff members responded loudly, and then saw one of them strode towards a flag bearer holding a red flag. He took the red flag from the flag bearer, raised it high, waved it hard for a few more times, and then waved it violently.
Two groups of guns composed of 120 10-pound long cannons suddenly trembled at the same time. The fire first erupted, followed by a roar like a shaking mountain, and then a smoke filled the air. In the blink of an eye, the Jin Man's Jinzhou hamburger was beaten. Several large holes with grinning teeth appeared on the straight wall, and sand, soil, gravel rolled downwards.
This is just the beginning!
Just as the first round of artillery attacks of 120 10-pound long cannons had just ended and the second round of artillery attacks had not yet begun, the three hot pot gun groups located on the north bank of Xiaoling River also began to attack!
These hot pot cannons now use copper-skinned wooden flowering bullets, which are fried pots that can be fired out with a hot pot. These shells are ignited with wooden pipe fuses. After the fuse is lit, they are inserted into a hole in the head of the shell. Only then can the shell be filled into the cannon chamber. After filling in, the cannon must be fired immediately and cannot wait. Therefore, there is no way to load the cannon in advance. The gunners of the hot pot cannons heard the long cannon behind them and began to roar, then ignited the fuse and started to load. Therefore, the time when the hot pot cannon was fired a little later than the long cannon.
But you are not afraid of being too late!
After a swaying shaking, more than 200 black dots visible to the naked eye were sprayed into the air, and then a perfect parabola was drawn in the air at a speed visible to the naked eye and flew towards Jinzhou Hamburg.
Before these black dots landed, some of them exploded in the air, turning into a dazzling ball of fire in the sky. They were extremely spectacular but spectacular. These early explosions of ammunition were not enough to kill Jinzhou hamburgers. Their fuses were problematic, and they burned too quickly, and they detonated the copper-skin flowering bullets in advance.
However, not all copper-skin flowering bullets will explode in advance before landing, and most of the shells will persist until they land.
After the shells, some will explode, while others will be silenced for various reasons. This will be "subborn" together with the shells and medicine.
But there are still many shells that explode after they land!
A large number of smoke columns of fire suddenly rose in Jinzhou Hamburg, and the fragments of the bombs swept across the southern part of the castle like a storm. The Jin soldiers gathered in the southern part of Jinzhou Hamburg waiting to fight were blown up and into a mess. Many buildings were also shattered by the thunder that was thunder from the sky, and some unknown things were ignited by burning gunpowder splashed out from the bombs!
The smoke and fire instantly enveloped half of Jinzhou hamburger!
It was originally a safe area where you could avoid cannons, but now it has become a place like the Underworld Fire Hell.
At this time, nearly 40,000 Jin army soldiers were concentrated in Hamburg, plus Alixi auxiliary soldiers, and some family members and noble servants, there were about 100,000 people, which was quite crowded.
The flowering bullet exploded in the city, it was really explosive!
The golden man who was bombed would immediately stop doing it. Who would be willing to kill the thunder that fell from the world? And he was only bombed and did not fight back! Not to mention that these golden thieves could not bear it, many Europeans in history would also be blasted by the flowering bullets and arson bombs that were blasted!
By the way, the arson bomb is coming soon!
Song Jun set up a way in the hot pot group, and the 25-pound iron balls were heated on the stove!
After burning red, you can stuff it into the barrel chamber. You must first put a wooden board in to separate the shells from the medicine bag, otherwise it will explode directly!
And this kind of red-burning iron bomb is sometimes more powerful than the expensive flowering bullet!
At most, the flowering bullets will blow people to pieces, and the scorched arson bullet will burn people to half-baked! How can you bear this?
Moreover, these shells are very hot, and falling into the granary, haystack, and gunpowder depot is a disaster!
The area in the south of Jinzhou City was completely in chaos at this time, with crying, crying, and scolding. Many people rushed to the center of Jinzhou City, which had not been bombed yet.
When the various shells of the Song army fell into Jinzhou hamburger, Wanyan Zongxian already knew that it was not good that the Dajin was about to be finished, and it was really about to be finished!
Who can stand this kind of bombardment? It won’t take long. After three days, the 100,000 people in Jinzhou City will go crazy!
"Hurry, go and ask the emperor's father Bo Jilie for emergency." Wanyan Zongxian ordered the personal soldiers around him, and was about to go out in an orderly manner.
