Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 678
In this battle, only a few enemies were killed, 200 troops were mobilized, and maybe [-] people were killed. To people who don't know, it seems that it is like anti-aircraft cannons swatting mosquitoes.

But in fact, Guo Yaoshi was happy, Zhang Linghui was happy, Zhen Wuchen who stayed in the city was happy, and all the soldiers and civilians in Jingzhou City were happy.

The reason lies in the corpses of thirty or forty Jurchen soldiers they brought back.

These are all real Jurchen, the top of the bald head is shiny, and the braids are also greasy and disgusting.It's not those puppet soldiers who are called Jin soldiers, but are actually from Han'er, Bohai or even Khitan.

"Come here, and cut off all these heads for me. Take a rope and tie the braids, and hang them to the top of the city."

Zhen Wuchen had already ordered people to prepare a banquet at the top of the city, and the three generals joined Shi Xiu, and the four of them drank a jar of strong wine in the presence of the pungent bloody smell on the top of the city.

"Although this battle did not kill the corpses of the gold thieves all over the field, nor did they capture the camp, but the food, ordnance, and flags were piled up like a mountain. But it was indeed a victory, which greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers in Jingzhou City," Guo Yaoshi said. Then drank another glass of wine.The most feared thing in this war is that the soldiers will not be in the same mind.If the heart is not aligned, the strength will be insufficient. How can we defeat a strong enemy?
And now, it couldn't be better.

After this victory was won, in the blink of an eye, the common people and soldiers in the city knew all about it.The corpses of dozens of golden soldiers were dragged back, the low morale was lifted, and the mixed morale was also condensed.It was really a timely rain, which solved the urgent need of Jingzhou City.

At dawn the next day, Wanyan Jiamu, who had suffered from depression at night, mobilized her troops to leave the village.All the siege equipment that the craftsmen of the rear battalion hurriedly produced were also moved out.

There are shield carts, trench bridges, ladder carts, and goose carts.

Shield carts, trench bridges, and ladders are all commonplace, but goose carts are not new.Its predecessor was a cave house, also known as a cave, like a hut, covered with a layer of iron, with four wheels underneath, which can effectively protect soldiers from attacking the city.Later, the cave house was combined with the crash car, and thinking of the fixed parking space, a goose car was built in the shape of a goose, taking into account both defense and attack.

The method to deal with it is also simple. "New Tang Book·Nanman Biography·Nanzhao" contains: "In February, the barbarians attacked with Yunliang and goose chariots from all sides. The soldiers called "謼". Before the goose chariots arrived, the Pi people attacked with giants. Hooks and ropes, ointment torches, chariots burned, and all the barbarians in the box died."

To put it simply, it is to wrap it with a hook and rope, and then burn it with a fire.

Guo Yaoshi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no Thunderbolt Cannon in the equipment outside.It's not because of his cowardice, but because the Thunderbolt Cannon is so powerful that Jinzhou City can't stand it, and so many cities in the Jinxi Corridor can't stand it. If Yuguan's geography and terrain depend on nature, it must be unstoppable. .

If it were changed to Jingzhou now, it would definitely be unstoppable.

Shi Xiu brought a stupid solution, but there was not enough time. Although the house was demolished and made a big show, it was not properly prepared after all.

Shi Xiu's method is very simple, which is to pile earth bags behind the city wall as high as the city wall.

In this way, the bombardment resistance of the city wall can be enhanced.

Furthermore, there are requirements for digging and bagging the inner side of the city wall.Instead of taking soil casually, you can reserve a place for piles of soil bags inside the city wall, and then dig the sand according to an inverted trapezoid.

If the whole project is over, there will be an extra big moat in Jingzhou City.Then erect the enemy tower, which can be regarded as the second line of defense in the city.

But this is very, very time-consuming, and it has not yet achieved initial results.

The quality of the Jurchen shield car is very good, and the plate armor in front of the car is also covered with leather, which is very tough.In addition to the earth and rocks on the cart, the bed crossbow could not shoot through it.I am afraid that only cannon stones can be effective, but there are no stone cannons in Jingzhou City.

Guo Yaoshi could only watch the trenches being filled up on the top of the city, and immediately asked his officers to tell the soldiers that they were about to see blood!
Two days later, all the trenches in Jingzhou City had been filled in, and the sheep and horses wall had been demolished.Wanyan Jia's mother saw that the city was about to be seized, how could she sit comfortably in the military tent?The Jurchens have always had a tradition of leading by example.At the beginning of the Battle of Shangjing, Wanyan Jiamu made several first climbs, and finally the golden soldiers were able to reach the capital. Wanyan Jiamu made great contributions.

At this moment, he was riding a horse with guards, circling around Jingzhou City, instigating the soldiers everywhere, promising that after taking the city, he would be richly rewarded, including gold, silver, fine wine, and that woman, none of which would be missing!If anyone can catch a person of Guo Yaoshi's level, then just wait until he becomes famous.

Soldiers of all ethnic groups in the Jin Army heard Wanyan Jia's mother's spontaneous words, promising a great reward, and all were gearing up for a big fight.Isn't he just Guo Yaoshi who has been defeated repeatedly?What a deal!Jiamu, Yinshuke, Pujianu, etc. were also very pleased to see their morale soaring!

When the day came to attack the city, trumpets sounded one after another outside the city, accompanied by the shouts of the Jin army getting louder and louder!
The Jurchens have this habit, they start howling before a battle is fought, whether it is hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of people, most of them are screaming and screaming on the battlefield.But not everyone is excited to dance the big god before the battle, but because this is the custom of the Jurchens.Don't forget, they are fishermen and hunters.

The Jurchens who came out of the deep mountains and old forests of Baishan Heishui could not do without howling during their daily fishing and hunting.But it cannot be denied that such a burst of howling can really mobilize the fighting spirit of the army and boost the morale of the soldiers.

In contrast, the defenders were much calmer. The archers unloaded their arrows and the rest held swords and guns. The commanding officers at all levels did not speak and only stared at the golden soldiers below the city.Words like mobilization and encouragement have been spoken before.There is no need to waste any more saliva.

Zhang Linghui asked Shi Xiu to go down to the city several times. Thinking about it, one of them was lost in the battle and hit Desperate Saburo's facade. Thinking about that scene is scary.

Shi Xiu is not willing.It will be difficult for him to officially enter the army in his life. If he doesn't take advantage of the moment when the sky is high and the emperor is far away, he will have a good time. If he thinks about it in the future, it will only be a dream.

Shi Xiucai won't go down.This kind of battle has never been seen in his life, he really caught up this time.

The horns and howls of the Golden Army continued, but their queue was no longer in a mess.Wan Yankai's mother led the Jurchen iron cavalry to lead the battle, and the silver technique could lead the Han'er army and the Bohai navy to the front.Pu Jianu stayed in the camp.

The huge sound suddenly rose!The soldiers on the top of the city could see clearly.Jin Jun, here we come!

It surged up like a dam burst!
Pushing the shield carts one by one, covering the goose carts and ladder carts, they approached the city step by step.

Zhang Linghui stood on the top of the city, listening to Shi Xiu in his ears: "This is the southern country, the imperial army is equipped with artillery, and a row of artillery is far away. No matter what he is, he is a shield chariot. Goose carts are as brittle as thin ice under iron bullets, and they are all corroded. Even some bed crossbows and stone cannons can threaten one or two."

He never ate pork again and never saw a pig run away.I have heard a lot about it, but I have never heard of a city that was as shabby as the current Jingzhou City.

Not to mention those big items, I haven't seen many Jinnu.

Thinking about the rows of god-armed bows in Yidu Yuqiansi, and looking at the Jin soldiers and Liao troops right now, it's more than a shabby one.

It made Zhang Linghui look dull, but at the same time it also made him have a strong interest in artillery.The shooting range is comparable to that of a bed crossbow. Although the aim is not as accurate as that of a bed crossbow, its lethality is much higher than that of a bed crossbow.

As soon as the battle started, more than a dozen goose carts with a height of more than three feet, combined with shield carts and ladder carts, rushed towards the city like giant beasts with teeth and claws.Even when he reached the bow and arrow range, Zhang Linghui restrained himself.Shield chariots and goose chariots have strong protection, and bows and arrows have very little lethality against them.But the ladder car is behind, with half the effort, no need to say hello!
The soldiers all took a deep breath, watching the goose cart that was a head taller than the battlements getting closer and closer. Everyone knew that once the goose cart reached the top of the city, it would be troublesome.

Although it is not a ladder car, a bunch of enemy troops with short soldiers, knives and shields will immediately appear and swarm up.But the danger is not small.

The goose cart, formerly known as the pointed wooden donkey, was called "礮辒" in ancient times. It is a kind of siege vehicle with solid protection, which is equivalent to a mobile "wooden tank" in ancient times.

Generally speaking, the goose head was used to hook the parapet wall at the top of the city, so that the position was fixed, and then the soldiers hiding in the goose belly urged the pointed head to hit the wood, destroying the foundation of the city wall at once.

Thirty steps, twenty steps, ten steps!enough!

With a wave of Zhang Linghui's sword, the soldiers who had prepared earlier threw the hoops one by one. This is actually a tactic used when herding horses, and many people in the Northland are good at this move.These people have obviously been selected, and they are all strong men with big arms and round waists!Throwing the thick noose in his hand towards the goose's head three or five times.

When they saw that the noose had landed correctly, they all raised their voices and shouted: "Pull, pull quickly!" Sergeants swarmed up behind them, grabbed the rope, and exerted their strength together.

The golden soldiers under the city were struggling to push the goose cart. Seeing that it was approaching the city wall, they felt happy when they suddenly felt the body of the cart shaking. They pushed forward vigorously, but it also gave them a boost. The stable goose cart was originally not well-balanced, but now there is an extra force pulling it from the side, just like a bicycle that is moving forward suddenly tilted, and the consequence can only be a rollover.

Goose cart ride, the unlucky ones can only be the soldiers underneath.Bundles of dry firewood were thrown from the top of the city, followed by cans of grease, and a few rockets were fired, trying to burn an overturned goose cart, it was too simple.

The goose carts overturned one after another, disrupting the order of the entire attack. Looking at the golden soldiers below who looked like headless flies, without anyone's order, the archers on the top of the city had already rained arrows!

The fierce battle in Jingzhou City is in full swing, and Tanzhou, Yuguan, and Jizhou are also waiting for the battle. When countless eyes in Xijin Mansion are looking to the north, no one knows that Xiao Xuanfeng has crossed the ocean and arrived in Qianzhou. It is located in the north of Qinhuangdao in later generations, with an interval of tens of miles.

When Chai Jin landed here, he was naturally received by the Jurchens, and then the group rushed straight to Bei'an Prefecture.

That place is near Chengde in later generations.For a road of four or five hundred miles, even if you have to go through mountains and rivers first, it will not take a few days.

"Rites first, soldiers later." Emperor Lu still needs time.
