"Boom!" A thunderous noise tore through the early morning tranquility of Jinyang City, and several sparrows flew into the air in a panic. The sun has just risen on a sunny day, and it is red as blood in the winter. The Northern Han sergeants on the city wall heard the thunderous voice for some reason, and they all looked on. Behind the first dirt wall, more than five hundred steps away from the city, a burst of gunpowder rose.
That's not thunder, it's cannon! After many days of preparations for the siege, the cannons finally sounded impatiently.
This loud noise not only disturbed the sparrows and the deadlock, but also disturbed all parties... Dazhou, the Northern Han Dynasty, the northern part of the Liao State, and even the southern part of the Liao State in Youzhou. Guo Shao has received all the signs that even Youzhou may mobilize troops and horses to rescue Jinyang.
The battle of Jinyang involving all parties kicked off at this moment!
Guo Shao sits on the horse with his sword and looks up following the voice. The muzzle velocity of the stone bullet fired by the artillery is indeed not very fast. The naked eye can see that the round stone is throwing a ball in the air, and after a while it falls to the ground. A "bang" is heard from a distance and hit the soil outside the city. in.
Then it stopped, leaving only the noise of people and horses around.
Neither the generals nor the officials said a word. They narrowed their eyes to look at the place where the gunpowder was rising to the east. Guo Shao also looked at it and waited patiently.
A military commander in the artillery formation looked over and yelled: "One inch higher!"
Next to a loaded thick|short mortar cannon was immediately slashed from the pile of sacks by the soldiers, and then a sandbag was stuffed in the ear of the cannon. A young general took a rope ruler to measure it quickly and said: "Okay."
Several soldiers hurriedly carried sandbags and stuffed the gun barrels. The thick|strong iron gun seemed to be buried in the sand to fix the position.
Not long afterwards, there was another loud bang. Under the explosion of a large amount of gunpowder, the muzzle seemed to be spewing fire, and white smoke burst out! The huge cannon sound seemed to reverberate outside the city wall. Just after the cannon sound, I heard the cough of "cough cough".
Guo Shao raised his head, looked at the flying stone bullets, and said silently: Middle! in!
Under everyone's gaze, the stone bullet flew towards the top of the city about five hundred steps away with the expectation of everyone. After a short while, it suddenly fell on the wall. A hundred catties of stone bullets just hit the target! With a "bang", I could vaguely see earth and rocks splashing on the wall, and dust flying around, as if it had exploded. The stone bullet was so heavy and powerful that it at least smashed the floor tiles on the city wall into pits.
Seeing this situation, the soldiers cheered.
Not long after, the artillery deployed in the front sounded one after another, and for a while, thunder and lightning flashed on the camp outside the city. Hundreds of cannons fired at a time, the momentum was very loud, and the earth was shaking|trembling!
Moreover, Guo Shao deployed more than a hundred cannons on the Jinyang Siege Camp, and the military inspector cast a total of more than three hundred of the same dragon cannons, all of which were transported to the front line of Jinyang! Because this kind of gun is used for siege.
Heavy stone bullets attacked the city wall in front of them one after another. The earth and rocks of the city were all flying, and the brick-clad sledge on the wall fell down, and the battlefield quickly became a mess, with fire and smoke everywhere.
Guo Shao watched the magnificent scene for a while. He hadn't adapted to such a loud sound. Even far away from the artillery array, his ears were "buzzed".
A lot of artillery bombardment, but the results of the stone bullets are still uneven. The specifications of the Long Xiao Cannon, the weighing of the gunpowder, and the distance and angle of the barrel are uniform, but errors are still difficult to avoid; the casting technology and measurement methods are still relatively rough and difficult to be accurate.
However, the knowledge and technology used is far ahead in this era...The law of parabola and ballistics will not be discovered until many years later. But for Guo Shao, these are just junior high school physics knowledge.
At this time, more than three hundred artillery pieces outside the siege for more than a dozen miles were roaring one after another, and the battlefield became more and more heated.
Shoots in multiple volleys in bursts, as if the sound is generally lifting the Jinyang city wall. Listening to the sound, Jinyang seems to collapse before long... But the actual effect still feels that there is still a big gap! The average thickness of the city wall facing Jinyang is ten steps (a dozen meters). This black | gunpowder artillery cannot be overturned. However, it is only a matter of time before the walls are covered with bricks and the female walls on the walls are damaged. .
Another great effect is that there are a large number of defenders on the walls, and shelling can also cause damage; and consume their morale.
So on the first day of the siege, the Zhou army did not send out a single soldier to attack the city, and it has been continuously shelling, consuming a lot of gunpowder and stone bombs. It didn't stop until evening.
However, the Zhou army is not afraid of being consumed. All the northern Han army city pools in the southern area are controlled by the Zhou army. Military resources are continuously transported from Fenshui and Qinlu post roads. The resources of the whole country are taking on this war!
The first row of howling guns are deployed is 500 steps away from the city wall; the heavy weapons of the North Han Army are nothing but catapults and ballistas. These weapons have a range of only two to three hundred steps, so unless they rush out Come to the city, otherwise Zhou Jun will not be reachable. The North Han Army was beaten for a whole day without returning a hand.
...The sun went down, and the hustle and bustle of the whole day became quiet. The air was filled with smog, and the choking smell of gunpowder remained for a long time, and the fire was lit up and down the city.
The faces of several generals were smoked black and dirty. They put their weapons outside the big tent and walked into the big tent of the Chinese army. It was very lively inside, although they were tired all day, but because there were no casualties, the power of the artillery made them very excited (much stronger than the catapult), and there was a lot of discussion in the tent.
After a while, Guo Shao also walked in and sat down in the upper position. Everyone immediately calmed down, clenching their fists and saluting.
"Everyone, don't give a gift, sit down at will." Guo Shao said kindly.
Everyone bowed together: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The generals sat down on the left and right, and the general Gao Yanjian said: "Chen Guanzhi, Long Xiao Cannon is much more powerful than the catapult, but it is only shelling and cannot attack the city. The minister thought that in order to capture Jinyang as soon as possible , Have to siege the city."
When someone said something, Guo Shao turned to look at him and listened attentively, but nodded with a look of encouragement and appreciation, not speaking easily.
When he was a military commander, he encouraged the generals to express their opinions and judge for themselves. Sure enough, Liu Renzhan also said: "Can we explode Jinyang City with gunpowder?"
Guo Shao responded: "You can try it, but the acupoint attack is very time-consuming. It takes nearly a month to successfully dig a tunnel to bury the gunpowder... I think this time it may not be as easy to blow up the city with gunpowder. Zhao Kuangyin fully knows For the specific tactics of gunpowder bombing, he will enter the North Han Dynasty to defend this way; once the opponent is prepared, the chance is not as good as before. Moreover, Jinyang Chenghou, I don’t know how effective it is."
After he said that, he was also speculating on the effect, if he did successfully blow down the wall again. The gap is very small, because the city wall is high and thick, it may accumulate a lot of soil and rock in the gap to affect the attack speed...At this time, if the defenders are prepared, deploy troops in the small gap and fix the fortifications, because the contact area is too small, it is very likely to change Delay tactics for consumption.
At this time, Wang Pu said: "When the Liao army arrives, if Li Chuyun can stop the Liao army, Jinyang is an isolated city. There is no reason for the isolated city, but the time is short."
Guo Shao agreed and said: "The King Shijun made sense. In the end, he would continue to consume the defenders and kill their hopes when attacking a majestic city like Jinyang... The monarchs and ministers feel the hope of stubborn resistance, and they have a chance to capture Jinyang."
Everyone discussed a lot, said a lot of ways, and how to flood Jinyang City with Fen Shui. However, these are all the same old tunes. Someone has said that they have to wait until the summer water season to kill the defenses' patience.
Just then, the soldiers came in with dinner. A group of martial arts immediately turned their attention to the food, and it seemed that everyone was hungry after running around all day.
In the army’s food, the gap between generals and soldiers is not that big. Even Guo Shao eats the same food as the emperor, and the generals are embarrassed to open small stoves alone... If they really want to do it, who are not thousands of these generals? It’s easy for the subordinates to get some big fish and meat.
What I eat now, one is wheat cakes, packed in baskets, and full; the other is salted soup of cured meat and vegetable leaves, packed in wooden barrels.
Everyone didn't care about it. They were all used to eating anyway. They asked their relatives to fetch their respective big iron cups, use the iron cups to make soup, and then divide the wheat cakes. r1058
