Chapter 3363: Hu Erma is proud of the cold wind, artillery bombards, the world is a great city
The north wind suddenly rose, crossing the Siberian plain from the distant polar regions, whistling across the Mongolian Plateau, and approaching the Yanshan Mountains.
It brings the coldness of the polar regions, and the late autumn of the year is about to come.
The name Siberia originally came from "Xianbei Liya", which shows that he is the hometown of the Xianbei people.
This time, with the extreme cold wind, the millions of Mongolian troops also came roaring the next day after the head of state retreated! The Mongols came with confidence this time. The first thorn in their side that they wanted to remove was the Thunder Fortress!... This time, Shen Mo rarely sent his scouts for battlefield reconnaissance and closure, because this matter was completely impossible.
Originally, Shen Mo's scouts were flexible and maneuverable under the leadership of werewolf Awang.
A reconnaissance company with a hundred people can often rely on its advantages in weapons, which makes hundreds of Mongolian troops unable to catch up or defeat.
But now it is not possible, because once the number of enemy troops on the battlefield reaches the millions, where can there be a gap for the flexible maneuver of the scouts to drill?
What is the concept of a million people?
Just imagine your own city and you will know.
They set up a camp and came to a camp that stretched for hundreds of miles. Even when they marched, they had to be divided into hundreds of queues and paved into a wide front that covered the sky and the earth.
So when the Mongolian army roared, except for the Yanshan defense line, which was waiting for battle, there was only this Thunder Fortress hanging alone outside the hometown of China.
...Mongolian troops came quickly, and in the evening before, the scouts were still circling nearby.
When the next morning, the moment the fortress commander climbed the watchtower, he saw a yellow-brown ocean! Wherever he could see, there were at least fifty or six hundred thousand people, surrounding the fortress into a small isolated island.
Nowadays, there is only a radius of six or seven miles around the Thunder Fortress. The remaining land is all submerged by dense Mongolian troops. Bu Yucheng, looking down from a high place, and even the borders of the Mongolian troops cannot be seen.
After watching, Bu Yucheng quickly ran down the iron ladder of the watchtower. The 36-meter-high watchtower ran out of breath.
"There are large metal reflections, and the Mongolian artillery team is coming up and ready to shoot!"
Bu Yucheng came and informed Yu Jie and the bloody hand Liu Ming about the enemy situation.
Then, the roar of Liu Ming commanding the artillery team preparing to shoot began to come from the city wall where the Thunder was about to double-layer inside and outside.
...At this moment, Tiemu was really looking at the Thunder Fortress in the army. At this hideous monster, he and his generals, and his children and grandchildren all frowned secretly.
After years of development, the Mongolian army artillery has not only reached thousands, but also greatly improved in quality.
They even used the West Asian city to test the attack ability of these artillery, which made them ecstatic! These rough but extremely thick and strong artillery cannons often aim at a point and shoot one after another, which can destroy a city wall.
As for the fragile city gate and the defense on the city head, they are more vulnerable like paper.
These Mongolians even claimed happily that even if the towering mountain peaks meet the Mongolian army's artillery, they will be flattened by hail-like shells! So they are very sure of conquering the Yanshan defense line this time.
Because Temujin knew that no matter whether it was a city wall or a fortress, there were only a limited number of cannons that could be listed.
And their number of cannons was like the ocean! So before they arrived at the Thunder Fortress this time, Temujin didn't feel that it was too difficult to remove the nail.
But when he saw it with his own eyes today, he found that the thing in front of him was so strange! Temujin looked at the fortress from a distance and saw that it was dark on it, like dyed ink.
There are no traces of stones and bricks built in the large city walls, but they look like carved from a stone.
Of course Temujin knew that this was the result of Tongzhou cement.
Even a few years ago, his secret spy had dug a piece of cement and took it to the grassland to show him. That thing was really no different from a stone.
In addition, this fortress seems to be divided into two layers inside and outside. The outer wall is slightly lower, with a height of about two feet and three feet, while the inner wall is two feet and seven feet high! This size is already the standard of a great city in the world, or even a king capital.
In addition, the tall walls of this fortress were all built into sharp teeth with intertwined teeth.
It was like sword sharpening in all directions, looking very ferocious and terrifying.
At the sharp corners of the city wall, there are also sharp blade-like towers, which do not look as round as Western castles, which are convenient for shell bombing.
And in the middle, an extremely tall iron rack was built! This thing is undoubtedly a high tower used to look out for, and the height has reached twelve meters.
Temujin had never seen an artificial building that could be built to such a height before.
This tall tower, like a sharp sword, pierces the sky.
When the light is good, the radius of twenty or thirty miles is probably within its sight.
This made Temujin Khan now remove the flag and wind-proof curtains when observing the enemy situation, so as not to be seen by the enemy troops in the distance.
Although the distance between the two sides is six or seven miles away, who knows whether the Song Dynasty has made any strange weapons that can bombard the bombs from afar in recent years?
...After Temujin carefully observed the situation of the Thunder Fortress, he immediately said in a deep voice: "The artillery team does not rush forward, send a team of Seminister Ten Thousand People to attack."
"People here are paying attention and carefully look at the bottom of this stone lump!"
Under his order, a ten thousand men immediately launched a tentative attack on the Thunder Fortress with a Lesser Legion.
... Outside the Thunder Fortress, there is barbed wire mesh three hundred meters away, and there are minefields nearby.
With just these ten thousand people, how could the defenders in the fortress get them close to see the truth?
Blood-hand Liu Ming received Yu Jie's order and immediately asked the artillery troops on the east and west sides to start preparing... As the air was not cold yet, the river water was not frozen.
The Lightning River in the north is not suitable for cavalry to sprint, so the artillery on this side is not needed for the time being.
After that, Liu Ming asked the 125 mm caliber heavy artillery on the inner circle city wall not to take action.
Let seventy-two 75mm caliber artillery load shells on the outer wall and prepare for firing.
When the enemy's cavalry approached 1,500 meters, that is, three miles away, Liu Ming's red glove, which was famous throughout the army, was raised together with the red flag commanding the artillery! When his hand fell down, a piece of shells rushed towards the enemy like thunder!... Now, when the Mongolian army fought to the death and developed artillery technology to the actual combat stage.
The breech loading, spiral rifling, and fuse trigger shells from the Song Dynasty flew towards the enemy.
Under the bullet body made of cast steel, when the warhead wrapped in strong explosives crossed a distance of more than a thousand meters and flew into the enemy cavalry cluster and exploded.
