Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 318
The elevation angle of the medium-sized artillery is not enough. If the base is raised high, the cannon will collapse in a big deal, and there is no solid ground to withstand the kinetic energy of the cannon, and the muzzle will probably explode. , but ancient and modern China and foreign countries have rarely used it to attack the city.

It was not until several hundred years ago in Zhao Dezhao's previous life that this problem was slowly solved.

But after several months of contact and confrontation with the Great Song Army, Cheng Yuanling vaguely felt that there was still a reason why the Great Song Army's Pioneer Battalion dared to launch artillery like this this time.

Inexplicably, Cheng Yuanling's heart beat wildly. He had a premonition that something very unfortunate might happen.

Looking at the opposite side from a distance, the sergeant wearing a strange top and bottom jacket took off the gun cover and began to maintain the muzzle. Then someone moved out the shells and prepared for loading. He looked at the gate of Hechuan City and took another look.

The rain of Cheng Yuanling's heartbeat came faster and faster, no!This thing is absolutely wrong.

He suddenly got up and left the city wall, and ran down the city desperately.

"Leave, let me leave the city wall and go down to the city!"

Cheng Yuanling, who was running wildly, gave the order to leave the city wall, and several of his subordinates who were calm just now were all blindfolded.

Someone immediately followed him and ran down the city, but there were also people who pretended to be walking, but did not go down immediately, but looked at Yuan Ling strangely, and then turned to look at the strange cannons under the city.

"Cheng Shuai, why..." A guy scratched his head strangely and whispered to the people around him, "Could this cannon still hit the city?"

"How is it possible?" The other person laughed silently.

However, in order not to be heard by Cheng Yuanling, he deliberately lowered his voice, "We have this thing in the Northern Han Dynasty, how could it hit the city wall? Now it's like this..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a strange whistle coming from the direction of the Song Army under the city.

A few Northern Han people who hadn't left the city turned their heads in surprise, and saw three round bullets coming from the direction of the Great Song Army. They didn't feel anything, but the speed was obviously extremely fast.

Because in almost an instant, the three initial small projectiles were in front of them, and several people could clearly see their size, color, and even smell their choking gunpowder smell.

Of course, then they heard their moving and deafening voices again...

Then, for them, there is no more.

Three round bullets the size of steamed buns fell on the top of Hechuan City in an instant.There were three loud bangs, although there was a sequence, but the intervals were very short, and then there was endless smoke and dust from the shells.

And the body parts that were blown up by the huge power.

The six or seven Northern Han people who had never come down out of curiosity on the top of the city were blown to pieces by the cannonballs, with pieces of flesh flying everywhere.Not even a scream came out.

A human organ similar to a spleen slapped Cheng Yuanling's face, causing burning pain, and then fell down.

Maybe they cried out when they died, but the sound was drowned out by the loud explosion.

Cheng Yuanling shivered, feeling the pain of being hit by human flesh on his face and the pungent smell of blood.

He vomited uncontrollably.

"Cheng Shuai...Cheng Shuai!"

The guards swarmed around and tried to take him away.

"Open the rear city gate, withdraw troops..."

Cheng Yuanling wiped the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, he no longer had the lofty ambition he had just now.

Just now, he was still telling his subordinates that we have 5000 troops, and the other side has a maximum of 3000. The city gate is so big, even if they break the city, we will fight to the death. I don’t believe they can overthrow with 3000 troops days to go.

"Don't take food or anything, take the gold and silver with you, and withdraw the troops quickly!"

"……Yes……"

Outside the city, Shi Yuanliang was also looking up at this miraculous scene. He had seen it a few days ago. The power of artillery was no longer unfamiliar to him, but it was not only the first for him to apply it to a real siege. This time is the first time for everyone.

In an instant, he was even a little proud.His Royal Highness took this sacred moment to himself.

He believed that even His Highness and those who made the artillery and shells did not witness the moment when the artillery attacked the city.

"Write it all down!" Shi Yuanliang turned his head and said to a few people around him called "technicians".

The flight trajectory of these shells, the power of each shell, the effect after the explosion... There are many more, which were requested by His Highness himself. Shi Yuanliang did not write them down, but this will not delay him from supervising these "technicians" to complete this mission. .

After about five or six rounds of artillery shells were fired, the city gate was almost completely broken.

The shelling was stopped immediately.

The goal has been achieved, and Zhao Dezhao personally ordered that these barrels are very delicate, so stop using them if the goal is achieved, and don't waste them too much.

There are also precious cannonballs. It is said that the cost of one projectile is worth more than ten gold.Absolutely not to abuse.

The city gate of Hechuan City has been blown up visibly to the naked eye.

Shi Yuanliang took the reins from the army and looked at Chen Zijing, who was already waiting for orders.

He waved his big hand and said, "Enter the city and attack!"

"Deling!" Chen Zijing, who had been waiting for a long time, shouted very loudly, swung the Xuanhua axe, and took the lead in rushing towards Hechuan City.

"Follow the vanguard! Go!"

Five hundred fine riders, like arrows that just left the string, floated straight towards the city gate.

In front of the gate of the city, there are no soldiers from the Northern Han Dynasty guarding the gate.

Most of them were shocked by the power of the Song army's violent bombardment artillery, and with Cheng Yuanling's order to withdraw the troops, they had already fled to the back door in a swarm.

Counting the time they spent coerced, the time Chen Zijing entered the city gate was exactly the time they rushed out the back door.

By the time Shi Yuanliang's vanguard soldiers occupied Hechuan City without bloodshed, Cheng Yuanling had already run a long way.

However, he was always in that strong shock.

No wonder, at the beginning of the war between the two countries, after a period of confrontation, there was a period of calm. It must be that Zhao Dezhao was waiting for the appearance of this weapon.

Although Cheng Yuanling didn't see it, he could imagine that whoever has such domineering and invincible power will have the patience to wait for its perfect completion.

This goddamn weapon is simply an artifact. With it, there will be no city gates that cannot be opened in this world.

Invincible, sweeping the world...

Cheng Yuanling seemed to have seen Zhao Dezhao's future!It's a pity that it's not me who owns this future.

Coupled with the generals under his command who have superior martial arts, there is probably no one in the world who can stop Zhao Dezhao.
