Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

It is not an exaggeration for Lu You to be a child prodigy in novels. He started reading at the age of five, and by the age of seven or eight, he had already read a lot of books.

Some people compare him with Li Qingzhao, but Lu You's ambition is not in poetry, but in the battlefield.

The year Lu You was born was the seventh year of Xuanhe. The Song-Jin Sea Alliance was completely torn apart.

In the midwinter of that year, the defenses of the three towns were torn to pieces under the iron hooves of the golden men, countless civilians were exposed to the wilderness, and the flames of war raged all over Hebei and Hedong, and the imperial court had no will to resist.

It may be because of this special year that he was born, and when he grew up a little, Lu You has been hearing people talking about the year he was born, about the beacon smoke in the north when he was one or two years old, and about Zong Ze, who is also a scholar of Zhejiang and Zhejiang provinces. s story.

This makes Lu You, who has read the history books and has a strong heart, often mention the words of the champion Hou to people: The Xiongnu is not destroyed, what is the family.

Since then, Lu You has always wanted to join the army.

This time, he finally persuaded his father and followed his uncle to this important place.

He got his wish and stood on the tower.

The books he had read quickly flashed in his mind, and the famous generals in the books were on the battlefield.

Li Mu, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Chen Tang, Ban Chao, Dou Xian, Li Jing and so on.

The iron horse Jin Ge left Longcheng, and there was no royal court in Monan ever since.

What a joyful enmity that is.

However, at this moment, he felt another scene.

He saw those who died, saw those who were obviously afraid but still stood firm in their positions, heard the wanton shouts of the enemy, and saw some chaotic people in the city.

He looked up at the gloomy sky, and felt that he was like a speck of dust in the boundless ocean at this moment, as if the surrounding sea rolled up a huge wave and hit him.

He felt unable to breathe, oppressed like never before.

He felt that the huge pillars supporting him were collapsing, the surrounding mountains were slanting down, and after the sky was broken, it began to collapse.

There was a loud bang, like the world reopening, pulling Lu You back.

That was the roar of the Song Army's bronze artillery.

With a bang, the first iron cannon shot out from the muzzle, tore through the air, rushed straight towards the Jin army below, passed between the heavy trebuchets, and hit the Jin army 50 meters behind. In the infantry formation.

Hitting the armored infantry, overturned five people on the spot.

This sudden blow made Jin Jun a little overwhelmed.

In just a split second, the second iron cannon, the third iron cannon, the fourth... successively shot out from the flames of the cannon muzzle, appeared in the air, and rushed towards the Jin army with the power to tear everything apart. go.

Before Lu You could react, he saw dozens of sharp shadows swooping down.

Eight clouds of dust were immediately lifted from the ground, and more than a dozen of them rushed into the densely packed formation of the Golden Army, throwing dozens of armored soldiers into the air.

In addition, several heavy trebuchets passed by in front of the Golden Army's formation, and two hit the heavy trebuchets.

However, it hit the bottom and did not cause damage to the heavy trebuchet itself.

However, Jin Jun, who originally planned to give Song Jun a surprise, received this sudden surprise first.

After the artillerymen of the Jin Army came to their senses, they looked at the ground next to them and saw long marks made by the iron ball.

Unlike heavy trebuchets that hit the ground, the tiger squatting cannon's tricks are more gentle. After hitting the ground, it can bounce up and charge a certain distance.

The traces on the ground are long and intermittent.

Of course, the stone thrown by the heavy trebuchet weighs a hundred catties, while the iron cannon of the tiger crouching gun only weighs about five catties.

When the range of the two sides is similar, the power of heavy trebuchet shells is more than [-] times greater than that of tiger crouching guns.

Both sides entered a short preparation stage.

The Jin army began to reload the stone cannon, and this process took time.

The Song army began to cool the barrel.

Guo Hao hurriedly ran to the gunner, and he shouted, "Hit the Jinren's trebuchet! Hit the Jinren's trebuchet!"

Yu Yunwen walked over quickly, and he also shouted loudly: "The eight-ox crossbow is ready! The eight-ox crossbow is ready!"

There are ten eight-ox crossbows on the tower.

Each eight-ox crossbow must be operated by nearly thirty people.

This is a weapon that is extremely difficult to operate, and it is also one of the weapons that the Song Army currently has.

The manufacture of this kind of eight-ox crossbow is expensive, and one set costs a thousand guns, which is equivalent to the price of a cargo ship. It is an absolute waste of money.

But the configuration of the Song Army is not unsophisticated.

Who let Song Jun have a Zhao official family who treats money like dung?

Of course, in the past era, the money might have been used by officials and clansmen for pleasure, but now Zhao Ning used it to make weapons.

"Smash the city wall! Smash it on the city wall!" The officer of the Jin Army Artillery Battalion roared loudly.

After many tests, it has been proved that this heavy trebuchet is capable of smashing down city walls, let alone rammed city walls.

Chapter 907 It's Heavy Cannon! (Second more)

The eight-ox crossbow made a creaking sound.

The bowstring trembled suddenly, ten crossbows let out angry roars one after another, and hundreds of arrows poured out, like dense iron rain, falling towards the Jin army formation 300 meters away.

The infantrymen of the Golden Army immediately buried their heads down, and the rain of arrows fell on their iron armor, making countless sharp impact sounds.

Many arrows were also planted on the ground.

At the same time, the archers at the top of the city pulled their bowstrings and continued to shoot rockets at the goose carts.

All eighteen goose carts were ablaze.

Lu You saw those artillerymen skillfully manipulating the barrel. They wrapped cotton cloth around the head of the stick, wet it in a bucket, and then inserted it into the barrel to cool the barrel quickly.

Finally, wipe the inside dry with a dry cotton cloth.

Lu You calculated that this action will take about 20 seconds.

When this is done, the soldiers fill the gunpowder.

The gunpowder is filled before the cannonball is put into the muzzle.

The whole process has taken 50 seconds, which is close to 1 minute.

Of course, the operation of the heavy-duty trebuchet cannot be so fast. It takes time to re-classify the parabolic rope and then adjust the counterweight. It can be said that it takes longer than the bronze artillery.

Before the Jin army launched a second heavy artillery strike, the Song army's artillery had already struck first.

There were dozens of bangs in a row, and iron cannons rained down like rain, striking the Jin army intensively.

However, the aim of the artillery of this era is a bit unstable. It basically bombards in a general direction. As for whether it is biased or not, it is not known.

After all, the artillery comes out too fast, and the real precision of the artillery requires professional mathematics talents to use some more accurate mathematical formulas.

Fortunately, 39 artillery pieces bombarded intensively.

I saw the iron cannons hitting indiscriminately in the direction of the Jin army, passing between the heavy artillery of the Jin army.

A dozen or so impacted on the ground, tearing out shallow marks on the ground.

There were thirteen or four of them impacting on the forward formation of the Jin Army, and one piece after another was blown away, blood and minced meat scattered on the faces and armor of the surrounding Jin Army, making their faces pale with fright.

This time, more than a dozen people were killed in the Jin army, and more than [-] people were injured.

However, the Jin army has strict military discipline, and the formation is not chaotic.

However, three hit the leftmost heavy cannon, and one hit the base, which had little effect on the base.

But two hit the wooden frame, which broke the wooden frame and caused the heavy gun to tilt.

The artillerymen of the Golden Army next to them retreated in fright.

Although the other heavy cannons were not impacted, one unlucky Jin Jun was shot in the head, his head was smashed directly, and red and white splashed all over the ground.

The iron cannon of the tiger crouching cannon is about the size of an adult's fist. It is already a piece of shit luck that an iron cannon of this size can hit the opponent's heavy artillery wooden frame at a distance of 200 meters, or hit scattered people. .

It is purely a matter of the probability of 39 cannons, otherwise it would be almost impossible to hit the target so quickly with a few tiger crouching cannons at the head of the city.

However, even if the accuracy is very low, but such an impact, people will be afraid to see it!

Just think about it, you are standing in an open space, looking up, dozens of iron balls are flying towards you, how do you feel?

Some Jin Jun covered their heads with their hands, while others lay down.

Some were not afraid, but when the iron cannon swept past them, they were too frightened to stand up, and hurriedly hid behind the wooden frame of the heavy cannon.

Everyone looked at the top of the city in fright, and found that there was no more. The officer of the Jin Army immediately shouted loudly: "Fill the stone cannon quickly!"

The heavy cannon wooden frame on the far left was broken by the impact, and its body tilted, obviously unable to use it.

The other four moved.

The Jin army quickly filled the stone cannons, and launched a heavy artillery strike again. Only four big stones fell at one time, and all of them hit the city wall.

bang bang bang...

The people on the city wall felt their feet tremble violently a few times.

Four large pits were smashed into the city wall, and four stones fell under the corner of the city.

In official history, the brick walls of Xiangyang City were smashed and collapsed, not to mention that Dongsheng City was rammed with earth.

In those four big pits, the broken soil kept falling down.

The city wall is only three meters thick, and the thickest part is four meters.

And how did "Yuan Shi" record Huihui Pao?

The cannon was placed in the southeast corner of the city, weighing 150 jin, the machine was fired, and the sound shook the world.

Seven feet is equivalent to more than two meters.

Just smashed half of the thickness out.

It's no wonder that Xiangyang's brick city walls collapsed under the constant bombardment.

Guo Hao yelled: "No! Everyone leave that area! Quick!"

Guo Hao followed Wu Jie to use this kind of heavy artillery for the first time, and he knew very well what the impact of heavy artillery on the earth-rammed city wall looked like.

Basically, that area can only withstand two more blows at most, and it will inevitably collapse.

"Quick! Get out of here quickly! Quick!" Guo Hao ran over in person and transferred the defenders there to the side.

The crowd dragged the eight-ox crossbow, picked up the bronze cannon and withdrew.

"Get out of the way! Quick!"

"Don't stop the gunner, keep aiming at the enemy!" Guo Hao roared hoarsely, "Kill all the gold thief's heavy artillery for me!"

"Yes!"

Both sides again began to fill their respective shells and shells.

"All the artillery, all concentrate on the opponent's heavy artillery, all concentrate on it! All concentrate on the opponent's heavy artillery!"

Guo Hao walked quickly while shouting loudly.

However, the enemy's shouts of killing are too loud, and they still need to rely on orders.

This time, Song Jun began to adjust the direction of the muzzle.

The battlements were too small, so they cut open the battlements with an axe, and tilted the muzzle of the artillery to the direction in which the Jin Army's heavy artillery was fired.

"quick!"

"quick!"

Someone simply flattened the battlements and placed the tiger crouching cannon at an angle.

"Fill the gunpowder!"

The soldiers skillfully put the artillery in.

The iron cannon entered the barrel and rubbed against the barrel, making a metallic sound.

The shouts of the golden army below are getting louder and louder, like a rising and falling ocean.

"Straight mother thief! Boom those gold thieves to death!" Someone scolded.

"Gold thief! Try your grandpa's cannon!"
