Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 489
"Boom, boom, boom!" A series of earth-shattering bangs, the tall city walls of Daming Mansion endured the impact of artillery stones again and again, and sand and dust particles flew.

The Liangshan Army had breached this city many times, but this was the first time that it had attacked the city in such an upright manner.

The strength of the enemy and ourselves is very different, so why use tricks?It must be known that strategy on the battlefield is the use of risk. It is the best to be able to use an upright and upright army to destroy the enemy's front when it is upright, to align with the upright momentum, and to gain fame and benefit. Simple and simple.

Wearing heavy armor and riding a tall horse, Hao Siwen stood behind the former general Lu Zhishen, with a serious face and red eyes.Although he knew the power of Liangshan Pao, and even experienced such a painful experience, he had never stood in the position of his comrades and watched Liang Shan Pao against the enemy with his own eyes. It was really powerful.

With this siege weapon, what city can't get it?

And even a heavy city defense like Daming Mansion can't stop the Liangshan Army, what place in the world can stop them?Hao Siwen only thought that this famous mansion would be destroyed as soon as possible, so that he could enter the city and make contributions.

On the plain outside the city, Liangshan Army's banners and flags were like a forest, and one after another infantry phalanxes were murderous, waiting to break the city.

This is already the tenth day of the siege.During these days, Lu Qian dispatched men and horses to take Mengzhou, Gaotang, Dezhou, Lingzhou and other places on the north bank of the Yellow River, and then ordered people to destroy the Kaide Mansion in Puyang, take Zhangde Mansion lightly, and drive Tong Guan from the Daming Mansion. Flee all the way to Anyang, and then fled to Handan.After Zhangde Mansion was easily captured by Yao Zheng and Yue Fei, he didn't even dare to stay in Handan any longer, so he crossed Mingzhou and fled to Xingzhou.

Under the city of Damingfu, hundreds of Liangshan cannons took turns bombarding them day and night. In ten days, no less than [-] stone cannons were broken, but they also blasted a corner of the city wall of Damingfu to the point of crumbling.

Of course the Daming Mansion had an urn city, but the Liangshan Army's focus was not on the city gate, but on the middle of the city wall.During the ten days of offensive and defensive battles, Zhang Suo also frequently dispatched bed crossbows to attack the Liangshan army's stone cannon positions, but with the tall and heavy shield chariots as protection, the bed crossbows were sharp, but they couldn't succeed.Instead, they were frequently destroyed by Liangshan artillery, which only increased casualties.

"You can see clearly, the Liangshan bandits really added stone cannons?" Zhang Suo's face was covered with frost and frost, and his temples were already graying.In a short period of time, he seemed to have aged ten years.

"Father, it's absolutely true. We have counted them several times, and there are indeed fifty." Zhang Xian said anxiously.A total of fifty Liangshan cannons were placed in front of the south tower of Daming Mansion by Lu Qian. Although they had not yet started firing, they were bound to be a disaster.

Zhang Suo had already had a death wish in his heart, but he still felt tense when he heard the words.

Liangshan Cannon is a sharp weapon of the bandit army. It has been several years since its birth, but the court has never been able to solve the mystery.It can be seen that the Liangshan bandits defended meticulously.But doing so will inevitably lead to a substantial reduction in its output.

This is like the earlier Jiaozi. The official set up a "paper-making courtyard" outside Chengdu to supervise the production of special paper for printing Jiaozi.There are: 10 people in charge of the book, 69 people who posted books, 81 printers, 6 carvers, 2 casters, 12 handymen, each with their own differences.The paper used has its own fixed number, and it is strictly circulated outside.

How did Zhang Suo know that there is still such a thing as "standardization" in this world.Many parts of Liangshan Po are produced by a large number of carpenters. What really needs to be kept secret is its structural diagram and a small number of parts inside.

"The order will be passed on to add another battalion to the city tower, and at the same time double the collection of people. It is necessary to build the second city wall before the city is broken." Zhang Suo built another city wall after the city wall that had been repeatedly hit, or Said to turn that section into an inward urn.

After finishing speaking, he asked someone to fetch the armor, dressed neatly, and led a group of personal soldiers towards the tower.

boom!boom!
boom!boom!
Before he got close to the city tower, he heard loud bombardment noises, but the city gate tower had also been bombarded by cannon stones.

Zhang Suo had a serious face, and under the protection of his own soldiers, he quickly stepped up the tower.

Seeing that the urn city outside has been beaten extremely miserable, all the female walls and enemy buildings have collapsed, only the strong city wall is still standing.

When Zhang Suo came, he caught up with the distant Liangshan army firing another round of cannon stones, and dozens of large stones came whistling.More than [-]% hit Wengcheng.

boom!boom!boom!
A large piece of rammed earth fell away. Although Zhang was standing a little far away, he could still feel a slight tremor under his feet.

"Zhang Xianggong, it's too dangerous here, how can you go up to the city yourself?" The city guard general exclaimed when he saw Zhang Suo went up the tower.

Zhang Suo didn't say a word, he just stared at the Liangshan army camp in the distance with a solemn expression.

At this time, Lu Qian was also standing on a high platform.It's just that his expression was not serious at all, he was calm and calm, all the soldiers around him stood upright, guarded by Yuan Lang, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, etc. on and off the stage, even though he was on the battlefield, the whole person was like this Admiring the winter plums standing proudly in the snow in the backyard of the palace, there is a sense of leisure and comfort.

"Your Majesty, the Daming City will be destroyed today. Governor Lu has come to report that he has used the caves to fill the moats and expand the passages."

Liang Shanjun already knew what Zhang was doing inside, how could the hastily built wall be compared with the real Daming Mansion's city wall?
The city wall of Daming Mansion is very high. If there is no other means but to attack the city with ladders, the attacking party will suffer heavy losses.But after the city wall collapsed, what about taking the opportunity to climb the end wall?

Of course, to attack Daming Mansion, the moat must be filled first.The Liangshan army had been bombarding for ten days, and the moat outside the city had naturally been filled, but now Lu Zhishen felt that the width was a bit narrow.

Lu Qian didn't say a word, he just needed to see the result.

Under the city, with the beating of drums, the Liangshan army pushed the cave forward like a tide.This kind of siege equipment does not need to be described again, as it has been described above.Its solid shell makes it not afraid of bows and crossbows at all, even bed crossbows may not be able to shoot through such a reinforced cave car.Each section of the cave is connected end to end, leading directly to the edge of the city moat, thus opening up a safe passage.People pass through it, throwing bundles of firewood on their backs.

In contrast to earthbags and sandbags, firewood is lightweight, bulky, and buoyant.Bundles are thrown into the moat, and bundles of grass are sandwiched. When the touch feels flat, layers of straw mats and reed mats can be covered on it, and then rafts and rafts are added, so that it is solid and level.

But it is lighter and lighter than the sand and soil of previous generations. The biggest problem is that it is not as strong as the former. But in this battle, Liang Shanjun didn't plan to push the heavy ladder cart forward?

The ladder and the ladder car are two different things.

The crossbows and arrows on both sides of the city wall shot towards the cave like raindrops. The rockets and fire arrows almost covered the surface of the cave, but the raw cowhide covered it was splashed with muddy water and silt earlier. Will it be burned by rocket fire?
Let the rocket fire arrows fall down, but the Liangshan army in the cave is as stable as Mount Tai.The passage on the moat was widened at a speed visible to the naked eye, making Zhang Suo's face so ugly.

At this moment, not only Zhang Suo, but also Li Si and his group in the Daming Mansion were embarrassed.He had contacted several big gentry families in the Daming Mansion as early as before.These people were able to escape from the Liangshan saber several times, which is enough to show their character and morality. Even if the Daming Mansion is broken again, these people will be fine.

Liang Shanjun is fighting against violence, but not against the rich.These big gentry families were obviously potential companions of Liang Shanjun.

If so, after Li Si sent people to his door, some people hit it off right away, but they were more gamblers;But no one would take someone from the Liangshan Army to ask Zhang Suo for credit.

Then Zhang Suo transferred all the servants and Ding Huyuan of the big gentry in the city of Daming Mansion to defend the city, intending to drag them into the water, but in fact pushed more people to Liangshan Army.

Such methods are too unpopular.

If so, the power gathered around him will grow stronger.Even when the Jia family was involved, there were signs from him.But that Zhang Suo was extremely cautious, and his personal guards never left him. Perhaps it was awakened by what happened to Liu Kai and his son in Tokyo.I don't see him having a single time.There is no chance to ask them to do anything.

After noon, Liang Shanjun made another move.However, the Liangshan army appeared outside the gates of the four walls of the Daming Mansion. You don't care if they are feigning attacks, but the defenders have to be ready.

At three moments later, the drums sounded, and the shouts of killing shook the sky and the earth, and the Liangshan Army began to besiege on all sides.A dense crowd surrounded the ladder car and rushed towards the city.There are also a large number of crossbowmen below, and the arrows rain down on the top of the city.

The defenders nervously dumped the rolling stones and wood, and the golden juice of boiling water in gray bottles was also a common method. There were also maces, piercing poles, forks, flying hooks, iron hooks, and winches.There are also wooden curtains, cloth curtains, and leather curtains hanging on the outside of the crenel, and bamboo stands, wooden stands, grate fences, leather bamboo fences, city shields and other shielding equipment erected on the city wall to block the enemy from attacking the city. Arrowheads coming.In addition, the boards, hidden doors, chapai, plug door knife carts, wooden female heads and wooden parapets to strengthen the defense of the city gates and battlements are included, so that when the city gates and parapets are destroyed, these devices can be used for emergency response. The remedy is to prevent the enemy from rushing into the city from the breach.

There are all kinds of defense equipment.

The only thing missing in Damingfu City is soldiers, qualified soldiers.

Flying arrows whistling, yellow sand flying, people's voices neighing, and killing sounds abuzz.Among the surging crowds above and below the city, there were tragic voices.

The blood soaked the city wall, mixed with the smell of burnt, permeating the city.

Zhang Xianli was at the north gate of Daming Mansion, encouraging and commanding the servants and nursing homes of various families to fight hard, there were a lot of people there, but none of them could be used, several times he personally led his subordinates to go up to the top, killing Liangshan Army back.

He went to battle many times and his robes were stained red with blood.

Still, there are some uses.After several confrontations, those guards seemed to have stabilized a bit.He was able to seize the right moment to pour down a large pot of golden juice boiling water. In an instant, the mist was filled with steaming and screaming.One by one, Liangshan soldiers fell to the ground screaming, and those who did not fall to their deaths would roll back and forth on the ground, wailing.

Gold juice is poisonous and essentially makes people susceptible to infection.Even if these people survived on the spot, their wounds were stained with fecal juice, infected and rotten. Even with Liang Shanjun's current medical level, which included high-concentration alcohol and basic surgical methods, it would still be difficult to treat them one by one.

But that's what war is.

Seeing this group of people fall down suddenly, another group of people rushed up, some people fell down, and people kept filling up.

It wasn't until that section of the city wall finally collapsed under the cannon stone, and the horn sounded, that the Liangshan army, which was attacking from all sides, retreated like a tide.

When the sun goes down, another day is over.

Lu Zhishen had already launched a fierce attack on the gap. He knew that Zhang Suo had built another city wall inside, so he ordered the stone cannon troops to extend their fire, while the large Liangshan Army troops under him suddenly climbed from both sides of the gap. He plunged into the city with all his heart, but aimed at the city walls on both sides of the gap.

Even if Zhang Suo's heart is as hard as a stone, when the Liangshan army occupies all four walls, will all the soldiers in the Daming Mansion be loyal to Zhao Song?

At this moment, Yiqian took a step forward and said to Zhang Xian in a low voice: "Young general, the guards below seem to be unstable."

After all, Jia Ding Nuyuan is not a regular army. The number of these people is less than 3000, and Zhang Xian's men are in charge of about a thousand.The Daming Mansion suffered many catastrophes, and those big gentry households who survived the ordeal recruited servants to protect the homes one by one.And after these days, especially in the fight this afternoon, thousands of Ding Nursing Hospital suffered 200 casualties, of course they couldn't hold on.

Even the Zhao Song Imperial Army, when [-]% of them were killed or injured, their morale would be demoralized, and they would even have no intention of fighting again.They are just family guards, how can they have no complaints?

Even their emotions can affect the soldiers in the army, as well as the big families in the city.

"Father, you must be on guard." Zhang Xian's battle robe was stained with blood. After Zhang Suo heard this, he was silent for a long time, and then got up and drank a moment: "Pass me a military order. From tonight, two thousand elites will be drawn to increase the number of patrols in the city." , Some people dare to cause trouble at this time and kill Wushe directly. Tell Wang Yan that from now on, the servants are prohibited from contacting the main household, and if there is any change, it will be suppressed immediately."

Zhang Suo's cheeks twitched, he glanced at Zhang Xian, gritted his teeth, and uttered a sentence from his teeth: "You will lead the team yourself."

This huge relationship must be fought by the Zhang family and his son. If it were anyone else, he wouldn't be able to trust it.I just pity my child, who has just grown up and admitted it, but he has not even gotten married.

"Baby takes orders." Zhang Xian had no intentions.It's just death, what's there to fear.When his father was determined to stick to the Daming Mansion, he would die.

Just like what his father said: "The country has broken so far, it is the time when my generation of scholars and bureaucrats died for the country. I am brilliant in the Song Dynasty, and I have nurtured the world. Since the Taizu, I have been obedient to people, and I have been Zen in Zhou Dynasty. Guangnan, Jiangnan, Both Jinghu and Xichuan fell in one fell swoop, dismissed the soldiers of the princes, put an end to the violence of the Five Dynasties, revised the Ming constitution, and cleared up the world. For 60 years, the Central Plains have no worries about disasters. Today, treacherous officials are in power, deceiving the sages, and causing the world to be banned Wandering, my generation of scholar-bureaucrats has received the great virtues of the Great Song Dynasty for 60 years, how can we not repay it with death? The country has supported scholars for 60 years, and it is today."
