Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 373 Fighting Monsters and Leveling Up

Looking at Puzhou City shrouded in a dense cloud like clouds, Lu Qian's face showed a look of eagerness to move.

It has been two or three years since Liangshanbo rose to prominence, but the real experience in siege is quite crude. Back then, Poheguan was located in Fan County, it was just a small county town, far less tall and strong than Puzhou City.And that battle was the first time Liangshan Cannon showed up, and the Song Army was particularly frightened.Unlike the current Puzhou, Lu Qian believed that the Song army in the city must know the rumors of Liangshan cannons, and even some people inside had tasted Liangshan cannons, such as Liu Guangshi and Guan Sheng.

There was a certain amount of psychological preparation, and the intimidation was reduced a lot.Not to mention that Liu Zhongwu also learned from Jeju and set up a string building on the sheep and horse wall, and he learned quickly.

Such a well-prepared but not very strong opponent is a good opponent for practice.

The Liangshan cannon also happened to have a place to be used.

These days, after Ling Zhen's many reforms, Liangshan Cannon has made some progress in terms of performance compared to the early days.Even compared to the performance of the return cannon he saw on the Internet in his previous life, it was not much better.

The return cannon can shoot 150 catties of stone bullets with a range of up to 400 meters. Liangshanbo can also shoot stone bullets weighing [-] catties with a range of more than [-] feet.

The returning artillery in history has achieved merit in every battle.

In November of the ninth year of the Yuan Dynasty of the Mongols (1272), Alaowading and Yisimain made the Huihui artillery.In the first month of the tenth year of the Yuan Dynasty (1273), they attacked Fancheng with Huihui artillery and achieved victory in one fell swoop.Then, the Yuan army moved its artillery towards Xiangyang.Based on careful observation of the terrain, Yisima placed a huge cannon in the southeast corner of Xiangyang City. "When the machine fires, the sound shakes the heaven and the earth, and everything it hits is destroyed, and it sinks seven feet into the ground." Song general Lu Wenhuan, who had defended Xiangyang for seven years, knew that he was outmatched, so he took the city and surrendered to the Yuan army.And just three years later, the Mongols entered Hangzhou.

Then Lu Wenhuan was exhausted because he had been fighting for seven years, and the returning artillery was just the last straw that broke the camel's back.If it was the beginning of the war, Xiangyang would not have surrendered like this.So what about Puzhou City in front of you?

Thinking of this, Lu Qian couldn't help looking at his Liangshan Pao.This Liangshan cannon is not inferior to the Huihui cannon, but I don't know how the quality of this Puzhou city is compared to that of Xiangyang, which was exhausted back then.

That night, in the Chinese military tent, Lu Qian summoned the intelligence chief who was buried in Puzhou.

"How many defenders are there in Puzhou?" Lu Qian wanted to know the exact number.

The latter said carefully: "To the Governor, there should be more than ten thousand soldiers in the city!" But it would never be more than that.There may not be less than 6000 Song troops who escaped westward in the dark night and were subsequently pursued by the Liangshan Army, but only [-] to [-] people were able to escape into Puzhou.

Lu Qian frowned.This number was not what he expected. "What about the hearts of the people in the city?" This seems to be more important.The Song army in Puzhou City was weak, and its combat power was even weaker.

"People in the city are terrified. According to Feige Xinbao, there are bloody cases every night." Under such circumstances, it is even more difficult for the government to recruit people.Everyone was afraid that he would be recruited. Looking back, he was lucky not to die on the city wall, but his parents and children were killed by gangsters. "The new magistrate in the city still has a bit of conscience. In the bloody cases where the families were wiped out, the dead bodies of the victims were all paid for by him."

The man had a look of approval on his face, and he obviously had a good impression of the new county magistrate.

Lu Qian also thought it was good, the county magistrate was quite considerate. "Who is this person's name?"

"Going back to the Governor, this man's surname is Qin and Hui, and his native place is Jiangning. In the fifth year of Zhenghe (1115), he passed the imperial examination and was appointed as a professor in Mizhou. Then he took the examination of Ci and Maoke and was appointed as the Xuezheng of Taixue. During this period, he met Chen Dong When the Imperial Academy students became friendly, the latter often criticized Cai Jing and his party, so Qin Hui also annoyed Cai Jing. But he still had a good background. Zheng Juzhong, the Privy Councilor at that time, was his maternal uncle, and he was sent to Puzhou this time. Magistrate of Juancheng County."

Lu Qian looked slightly numb.Qin Hui, Qin Hui, this bastard is actually in Puzhou.This is really a big surprise, a big surprise!
For a moment, he didn't know how to describe his mood.

Excited, excited, absolutely excited.

After catching Qin Hui, and having the opportunity to make good use of this bastard, Lu Qian found himself even more excited than when he just crossed.I just don't know if his wife is here. If he is, the whole world will celebrate if this couple of dogs and men are chopped into meat.

Of course, the person opposite him didn't know what Lu Qian was thinking at this moment.After thinking for a while, he said again: "The villain also discovered that Mr. Qin and Mr. Zhao Mingcheng from the Information Agency are brothers-in-law." However, Qin Hui's wife is the daughter of Wang Gui's second son, Wang Zhongshan, and Li Gefei's wife is Wang Zhongshan. Li Qingzhao's sister, Li Gefei's daughter Li Qingzhao, called Wang Zhongshan's uncle, and she was his niece, so Li Qingzhao called Wang Zhongshan's daughter (Qin Hui's wife) his cousin.Li Qingzhao is older than Wang.

Lu Qian really didn't know this.He knew the details of Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao.But Wang, he really didn't know that this Wang was that Wang, and he had such a relationship with Li Qingzhao.

With a few words of relief, he waved his hand and asked people to go down.In Lu Qian's heart, he didn't change his mind at all, Qin Hui still wanted to kill him.If you don't kill him, Lu Qian's thoughts will not be clear.Even Cai Jing and his ilk did not give him so much killing intent, but Qin Hui, he must die.

As for the articles that overturned Qin Hui's verdict in the previous life, what kind of blame man, scapegoat, and so on.Lu Qian ignored everything, and he didn't need to argue about it, he just killed the person after he was caught.

And the city of Puzhou.Liu Zhongwu and others are leaning on the battlements and looking out of the city.

The darkness in the distance covered the land, and the nearby villages had turned into Liangshanbo camps, with sporadic fires shining.As far as the eye can see, the wilderness is heavy, with only two or three fires, sparsely separated.

The sound of fighting broke through the air, and both of them seemed to hear it clearly.

"The city of Puzhou is high and deep, and there is plenty of money and food in it. Our army has tens of thousands of soldiers. How can we not defend the city?" Wang Ting said.Since ancient times, the siege of the city was either a bloody battle or an endless confrontation between the two armies.There is enough food and grass in Puzhou City, so I am not afraid of being surrounded by Liangshan bandits.And in the fierce attack and violent fight, they are also on the defensive, and they have a great advantage.Although the Liang bandits won the decisive battle, it didn't mean that they would be able to garrison outside Puzhou for a long time.

If it weren't for worrying about Liangshanbo's stone cannons, Wang Ting dared to swear to the sky that he would be able to defend the city.

Even if the soldiers and horses in the city were all from the Western Army, he could hope to wait until the enemy's spirit was exhausted, and then fight hard, so that he could still win the battle.

Yao Gu and Wang Gan both kept silent.

Liu Zhongwu is determined to fight, so what can they do?
In the early morning of the next day, Liu Xi was awakened by a loud noise, and he hurriedly got up and put on his clothes neatly.I saw my father standing in the courtyard and sighing. I asked the attendants nearby and found out what happened.

Early this morning, Liu Guangshi, the envoy to patrol the city, came to report. After dawn, they found that there were many persuading letters scattered in the city, and some notices were posted to confuse people's hearts.Liu Guangshi didn't catch the spy, but he caught a lot of surrounding people.The incident was reported to Liu Zhongwu's place, and he was ordered to be released by Liu Zhongwu.

This Liu Guangshi has just held the military power in his hands and started to patrol the city for real security. Now he is going to arrest hundreds of people in one go. Didn't he call Puzhou City to explode?

When the sun was three poles, a team of 2000 people drove to the city.The soldiers with the loudest voices in the army were all selected to shout and curse in turn. On the surface, it was to stimulate the generals in the city to fight, but in fact it was to suppress the morale of the defenders.

Liang Shanjun's yelling and cursing echoed in his ears.And the army in the city will only shrink its head. At the beginning, the defenders will be filled with righteous indignation.But if it goes on for a long time, the defenders will turn to regard the army in the city as cowardly.

This is why this formation can be passed down in the army for thousands of years.

The people in the army are all strong-blooded people. How can they not let their blood flow when they are allowed to be humiliated and ashamed?If you follow the soldiers' wishes and go out of the city, you will fall into the trap; if you stay behind closed doors and act like a coward, it will lower your own morale.

The arrogant laughter of the Liangshan Army outside the city reached the ears of the Puzhou defenders very clearly.Liu Zhongwu was as immobile as a bastard.

One day, two days, three days...

The defenders in the city never moved, and Suo Chao was so angry that he went to the battle in person to yell and curse.The Liangshan Army also took the opportunity to not only transport Liangshan cannons to the front of the army and install them one by one, but also took the opportunity to transport countless neatly polished stone bullets.

Puzhou is surrounded by flat plains, not even a stone hill can be seen. The stone cannons have been transported, and the stone bullets will be transported.

Liang Shanbo captured so many captives back then, so we can't let them eat for nothing, right?In addition to repairing the earth and strengthening the fortifications of Liangshan Dazhai, one by one is digging rocks in the back mountains and polishing stone bullets.

Don't underestimate these round stone bombs.Facts have proved that this ball-shaped stone bomb is better than the effect of directly hitting the stone.No matter in terms of range or accuracy, or the rolling lethality after landing, the ball-shaped stone bullet is better than the stone.

And the transportation of stone bullets weighing hundreds of kilograms is more troublesome than stone cannons.It seems that there is still a lot of space on the ship, but the carrying capacity has reached the red line.It is even more cumbersome to transport.

Four watercrafts brought more than 2000 stone bullets.

When everything was in place, the bombardment began.

First it was a pure stone bomb attack, and the stone bombs that bombarded the wall of sheep and horses across a distance of [-] steps completely wiped out everything with a destructive force.What kind of wooden buildings, sheep and horse walls, once hit, they will be completely destroyed.

If so, this kind of two-story wooden building made of hardwood could hold up a top when faced with traditional stone cannons, then when they faced Liangshan cannons, they would just be a pile of broken wood.

Outside Jeju City, a series of buildings were hit by stone bullets from stone cannons, and they were also blocked and shattered.But that was just a broken wooden building. The strength of the hardwood had resisted the attack power of the stone bullets, but the wall of sheep and horses underneath it remained intact.But what about Liangshan cannon?With one blow, the wooden building was absolutely shattered, and the sheep and horse wall beneath it also fell apart.

Amidst the loud bang, a large expanse of sand, dust and gravel splashed, and the cheers of the Liangshan Army sounded like a landslide and tsunami on the entire battlefield.

……

In the past two days, I saw everyone talking about names, and the author was a little unsure. Everyone talked about whether Lu Qian's future country would be Liang, Qi, Lu, Zhou, or something else.

——Zhou is because Lu Qian is from Luoyang, and it was the seat of the Zhou family during the Spring and Autumn Period.
