Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 630 Bianjing Three Kingdoms Chaos ()
More than stone cannons outside the city fired for half a day, four to five thousand stone shells were fired, and dust and mist were splashed to cover the sky and block out the sun.

There were many traces on the city wall, and the defenders were turned into mud. Wanyan Loushi took the opportunity to launch a new round of offensive.

The former Pi Shi army roared and killed the top of the city. Lei Heng and Yao Xing led the Song soldiers, and they refused to bow their heads.

Some people were still howling, some had drawn their knives and rushed to the city, some fled in the chaos, and some resisted desperately.

There are those who speak loudly and find that they are actually very fragile in the face of death.

Some people don't say a word, but they refuse to back down when things come to an end.

Scenes of living beings are performed in the field of life and death, and everyone reveals their truest appearance.

With the depletion of officers and soldiers in the city, countless heroes and even ordinary people rushed to the city wall without hesitation.

Among these people, some want to protect their own homes, some want the truth in their hearts, some want to become famous, and some even just want to indulge in the pleasures of Fanlou and other places.

But no matter what their original intention was, the moment they took up their weapons, they became the heroes of the city.

For example, there is a man named Long Yi, who is called "Fire Dragon" by people in the Jianghu area. He is a famous fighter in Guangdong and Guangxi. He failed in the martial arts examination in Bianliang last year. After all the troubles, he had to live in Tokyo.

In order to make a living, the surnamed Long joined the local gang with his martial arts skills. He blackmailed merchants and oppressed good people on a daily basis.

And this year, the Liao people and the Jin people repeatedly besieged the city. To him, he just watched the fun and didn't feel that it had anything to do with him.

Until recently, the Jin soldiers attacked the city very tightly, and many common people and tyrants from the rivers and lakes helped to defend the city. There were such brave heroes, which were passed on in the market, and it was rumored that a few oirans entertained those meritorious men for free. I couldn't help but move my heart--

He has an oiran lady whom he has admired for a long time, and he only hates that he has no money to enter her tent, but now is not a perfect opportunity?
Then he also made up his mind, picked up his spear and went to the city to use the golden soldier's head to win a spring breeze.

This person is also a scheming man, seeing the sound of killing in the city, he pretended to pee and escaped from the team, and waited until the whole team had rushed up, then he quietly touched and crept up.

Sure enough, there was a massacre on the city wall, no one cared about the footpath, he took the opportunity to jump out, and the gun shot out like the wind, stabbing four or five golden soldiers to death in a row, either stabbing their backs or their waists, none of them fought head-on.

You must know that these leather warriors are also extremely good at fighting. Although they don't have advanced martial arts skills, they cooperate with each other tacitly and strike fiercely.

Long Yi killed several people in a row, and was naturally ecstatic. Thinking of wanting to be famous, he raised his throat and shouted: "A certain is the 'Fire Dragon' Long Yi, who came to kill the golden dog for the country. Who dares to fight me?"

After shouting, he wanted to hide back to the trail first, and then look for an opportunity to repeat the old trick.

But the battlefield is ever-changing, but it is not comparable to fighting in the rivers and lakes.

Without waiting for Long Yi to dodge, Lei Heng rushed towards him clutching his bloody left arm.

But it was the King of Jin who killed Yeluma five times on the top of the city, and spread out his sword, killing people like cutting weeds. When Lei Heng saw it, he jumped to fight each other. The two fought back and forth for more than ten times. Lei Heng returned the sword a little slowly. , Eat him a knife wounded his arm, weak to use the knife, had to run away.

Yelu Mawu recognized Lei Heng as a brave general, how could he let him live?All the way in hot pursuit.

When Lei Heng was at a loss, he suddenly heard that Long Yi was fighting by his name, he thought he must be a good fighter, rushed over, and shouted: "Brother Long, this golden general is very skilled in martial arts, you and I will fight him together!"

Long Yi was inexplicably shocked, and when he was about to refuse, Yeluma rushed forward with five strides, and with a swoop of the saber, he had already been enveloped inside, although his silver teeth were frustrated with hatred, he had no choice but to dance his spear desperately.

Lei Heng carried the saber with one hand, and stepped forward to support him. Unexpectedly, if Long Yi's spear was in Liangshan, it would probably only be able to compete with Zhu Gui and Bai Sheng. Even Du Qian and Song Wan were much more extravagant than him. Can you stop a general like Yelv Mawu?

Lei Heng saw that the situation was not good, so he had to retreat first with tears in his heart, and apologized loudly in his heart: "Brother, don't worry, the name of the 'Fire Dragon' Longyi, Lei will never forget it, and I will always pass it on for you if necessary." .”

Long Yi: "Convex (⊙▂⊙)"

Not long after, "Old Romance" Wang Huan led forbidden troops to help him. He happened to meet Lei Heng and told him that the Jin general was fierce, but Wang Huan came to meet him without fear.

He was dumped by Tong Guan, wronged and wronged, and he was trapped in the prison for half a year. Now he has been rehabilitated, and he is about to find someone to vent his anger. To resist, he had no choice but to throw the big knife, make a gap, run a few steps quickly, jump out of the city wall, hug a ladder and slide down the city wall, and escaped with his life.

Not long after, at the other end of the city wall, the "Kaishan Tiger" Zhang Kai heard that the west of the city was in danger, and led 800 people, circled the city and killed them.

These two old Jiedu were leading a new force, and both ends attacked at the same time, and it was very easy to kill this group of Liao soldiers.

Look at the city wall, the blood is half a foot deep on the flat ground, and two rivers of blood flow down along the footpaths and horse paths. The soldiers and civilians in the city are stunned.

Lou Shi saw that the city had never been broken, and the artillery vehicles built in a hurry were also damaged by nearly half, so he had to withdraw the army and ordered people to clean up and repair the artillery vehicles, waiting to attack again the next day.

At daylight the next day, Lou Shi woke up from a full sleep, went out of the camp to have a look, and was stunned.

How do you feel?However, on the city wall that was still empty yesterday, fifty or sixty gun carriages were erected overnight!

These cannon carriages are no more monotonous than those in the Lou Shi army, they come in a variety of shapes!Tall and short, big and small, the largest of them is almost like a house!
Not to mention Lou Shi, the four generals Wang Huan, Zhang Kai, Lei Heng, and Yao Xing are also dazzled by themselves.

In yesterday's battle, more than soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty were killed or injured, half of them were wounded by artillery vehicles. Yao Xing hurriedly went to see Liu Yanqing and told him that if this continues, within two or three days, he will definitely fall.

Liu Yanqing didn't change his face, and told him: "The government has a good way to deal with it!"

That night, he led a short, stocky soldier with a black and red face, and told everyone that this was the famous gunner in Tokyo, "Thunderbolt" Ling Zhen!Just now he was granted a visit from the official, and he was conferred on the spot as the deputy commander in front of the hall and General Zhuangwu.

This is a majestic fourth-rank official position, and for Ling Zhen, it can be said to be a step up to the sky!
Why are officials so generous?According to what Liu Yanqing said, when they met, the official said with great concern: "Even though Aiqing has excellent means of firing cannons, the cannon carriages in the city have already been destroyed, but I don't know how long it will take to build new cannons."

Ling Zhen said to him: "Your Majesty, don't worry. The general has been in the Jiazhan warehouse these years. He has nothing to do. He often makes cannons and juggles. In the past seven or eight years, he has made many parts. It only needs the help of skilled craftsmen to assemble them."

The official's joy was no small matter, and they were moved to tears, and they said again and again: "When others are free, they only care about flattering horses and making money to get promoted, while Aiqing is devoted to her own profession in her spare time. In this critical time, it is necessary to have a heavy weapon to guard the country. ! If civil and military officials are all like Aiqing, why is it so in my Song Dynasty?"

At that moment, Ling Zhen was made a fourth-rank general, and the carpenters and blacksmiths in the city were recruited, and all of them were assigned to Ling Zhen.

Ling Zhen was also unambiguous, and led people to the Jiazhan warehouse, moved the large and small parts he had built over the years, and went to the city to guide the installation, such as single-shooter, double-shooter, five-shooter, seven-shooter, lying car, and tiger squatting. , Whirlwind Cannon... everything.

There is even an iron cannon, shaped like a long barrel, with a wall thickness of two inches, designed to hit more than a catty, and the iron bullets can travel extremely far, if they come across it, people and horses will be smashed.

There is also a kind of "flint cannon", which is a cannonball. It uses iron cans to hold gunpowder, mixed with barbed wire, and ignites the cable with fire.

The only pity is that these large and small cannon carriages are all made with Ling Zhen's forged skills, and the quantity of each type is limited. Like the iron cannon, there is only one. The artillery shells are only seven or eight rounds, and the rest are made by hand stone bomb.

But even so, because there are many seven-shoot and five-shoot guns, according to Ling Zhen, they are comparable to the opponent's guns.

Liu Guangshi's courage increased greatly after seeing these cannon carriages, and he offered a plan, which was to fire the cannons first to seize the opportunity. Liu Yanqing heard his son's plan and quickly persuaded Ling Zhen.

However, Lou Shi saw that there were many large and small cannon carts on the Bianliang city wall. Although he didn't know their shape and structure, he knew it was extraordinary, so he couldn't help stamping his feet and complaining.

How do you feel?But it was Jin Bing, who only took the broken cannons back to rest after yesterday's artillery battle. The intact hundreds of artillery vehicles are still lined up outside the camp, but they are not like targets?
Before he could call someone to drag the artillery cart, he saw the red flag waved on the city, and a single-tipped cannon was launched with a bang. Six feet away.

Lou Shi was taken aback, but he heard Yelu Yanxi's strange cry: "He has dozens of artillery vehicles, how can he only fire one cannon, is there no gunner, or is it too late to store stone bullets?"

Lou Shi was overjoyed when he heard this, and thought that this was not the case. If so, no matter what, he would have to take down the city today. Otherwise, would it be fun to wait for him to save enough shells?

Immediately ordered people to blow the trumpet, ready to attack the city in advance.

Whether it's poor Lou Shi or Yelu Yanxi, none of them know how to play with cannons. They only use cannon carts as large bows and arrows, and pay attention to firing them all at once.

Here he led people out of the camp to form an formation to attack the city, but he didn't know that Ling Zhen was just trying to shoot on the city wall.

At this moment, he was squinting his eyes, looking carefully at the landing point of the shell, and stretched out his fingers to gesture for a while, then nodded, starting from the first cannon, he adjusted each of them by himself, or shifted some direction, or Cut the cable shorter, or lengthen the pole, and you will be busy.

After he finished his work here, Jin Bing, a team of people, had already formed a formation outside the camp.

Ling Zhen turned around to look, and said cheerfully, "Forget it, this Marshal of the Kingdom of Jin is so generous, is he in a hurry to give us credit?"

He snatched the red flag from the deputy's hand, waved it vigorously, and shouted loudly: "Fire the cannon!"

With an order, dozens of artillery vehicles were launched in unison.

The entire city wall seemed to shake with the shaking of the cannon carriage.

Nearly stones flew up from the city wall, drew a long arc, and fell in pieces in front of the camp under the horrified eyes of the golden man.

Half of the more than a hundred gun carts in front of the Jinying were smashed in an instant, and wooden blocks and iron frames flew around.

Another half of the stones fell into the formation of the golden soldiers. Although only dozens of people were killed, the psychological lethality was extremely great. .

Wang Huan clapped his hands again and again: "What a cannon, it's so powerful! It's a pity that I was defeated again and again, or I would be given cavalry. As long as the artillery shells hit farther than our army, wouldn't they lead our army and kill them?" ? Even the Jurchen army, I’m afraid they won’t be able to withstand the stones from above and the cavalry from below! Tsk tsk, what a pity, what a pity.”

Everyone didn't know that he had unintentionally revealed the secret of infantry and artillery coordination, and they all followed suit in admiration.

Especially Liu Guangshi, his eyes glowed even more, and he thought to himself, how can I get this person to become a general under my command? ?
Just thinking about his fourth-rank official status, which is higher than his own, he couldn't help but sigh.

Amidst the compliments from the crowd, Ling Zhen just smiled, but went to make a cannon himself——

The iron cannon and iron bullets, as well as the flint cannonballs, were brand new things, and apart from himself, there was no other gunner who could play with them.

In Lou Shi's room, seeing the precision and sharpness of the Song army's artillery vehicles, they were also shocked. Looking at the morale of the army, they knew that it would be difficult to attack the city today, so they quickly called gold and led the troops back to the camp.

Unexpectedly, Ling Zhen personally controlled a seven-tip cannon, and lit seven stone artillery shells at the same time. As soon as the command was issued, hundreds of people pulled the ropes together, and saw seven flames, dripping into the sky, falling towards the Jinying, and hitting the ground, seven explosions were heard. The sound was continuous, and the flames splashed, and the people in the golden camp neighed, and a large area of ​​tents burned.

Lei Heng's eyes straightened: What a wind cannon!This guy... this Thunderbolt, if he didn't earn him to go to Liangshan, wouldn't I come to Bianliang for nothing?
I secretly made up my mind that today I am going to find Qiao Daoqing and let him try to make an idea!
He has been in frequent contact with Qiao Daoqing these days, but he knows some secrets of Taoism, such as many Taoism skills are extremely powerful, but if they are used to kill mortals, it is a big taboo!If you are not careful, you will turn your whole body into running water.

Therefore, when warlocks fight on the battlefield, most of them use auxiliary spells, such as blindfolds and illusions. The real killing is still by the soldiers' swords and guns.

Or, like how Qiao Daoqing dealt with Lao Cao, find a place with excellent geography, use spells to cause floods, etc., in short, try to avoid direct killing.

However, Ling Zhen's performance today opened Lei Heng's eyes. Those stone bullets in front of him are nothing more than just seven wind cannons. They are powerful, not inferior to magic skills, but they can be used freely, mastering such a big killer How could he not bring people under his command?

He was still thinking that Ling Zhen had already gone to operate the iron cannon, and everyone was watching curiously.

You must know that although the various artillery vehicles on the city wall are different, they still do not have the basics of pulling the arm and throwing the shells. It is like a big sword and long spear Fang Tianji, although the form is different, the essence is the same.

However, this long barrel is like an iron cannon, but everyone has never heard of it.

Fortunately, Ling Zhen saw that everyone was curious, so he was willing to explain it to them. He immediately operated it and said: "The principle of this gun is different, but it uses the force of the gunpowder explosion. My gun barrel is airtight. , I put the gunpowder first, then the charcoal, and then the iron bomb..."

But he saw that he poured a lot of gunpowder from the muzzle of the cannon to compact the long rod, wrapped a piece of red charcoal with silk, threw it into the muzzle of the cannon, and then loaded a round iron bullet. Two people replaced the cannon barrel and pushed it out of the city wall .

"As soon as the charcoal burns through the silk, the gunpowder explodes. There is nowhere to vent the explosive force, so the iron bullet is burned red and pushed out. The power is infinite. Oh, General Liu, you must not stand behind the cannon..."

Before the words fell, there was a loud bang, and an iron bullet shot out like flying. The two or three thousand kilograms of the cannon suddenly shrank back and hit Liu Guangshi's thigh.

Liu Guangshi flew out without saying a word, knocked over a group of Song soldiers, and then fell to the ground, where the thigh was hit, the bones and flesh were rotted, it was unspeakable, screamed two or three times, tilted his head, and passed out .

There was a sudden chaos on the city wall.

Lou Shi was startled by the wind artillery, and he didn't know how many such artillery shells the Song army still had. He only said that there were only a few shots just now, and it was another test fire, so he quickly ordered to retreat.

However, at this time the soldiers and horses were in a mess, all running around, Yeluma drew out his sword five times, and cut down a few soldiers in a row, and managed to stop the chaos. Just as he was about to speak, suddenly, a ray of red light flew by , Yeluma Wu's upper body was fried into meat sauce, splashing so that everyone in the room became a celebrity!
For a moment, both sides were in chaos, but they didn't know that at this moment, at the east gate of Bianliang, a small group of vicious servants took advantage of the opening of the guards to lead people to help the west city, and suddenly rushed out, killing dozens of officers and soldiers, breaking locks and seizing the gate. !
As the saying goes: the first time the iron cannon blasted the thunder, the generals both let go.The long-legged Ouba had a broken leg, and the Khitan warrior was half ashamed.
