Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 322 The Power of the Cannon

But.Not fighting doesn't mean you're going to be bombarded.

Cheng Yuanling rushed over immediately, pulled the King of Northern Han and ran towards the back door of the camp.

Originally, a large-scale battlefield does not necessarily happen once every few years. Like today, there are six to seven to eighty thousand people on both sides.

It is only a part of the strong man, and the whole of the Little Beihan Kingdom.

Zhao Dezhao sat on the big chair prepared by the guards. Since the opponent retreated, he didn't need to personally fight these barbarian soldiers and horses. He just wanted to see how powerful the cannons he had made...

"Hoo... whistle"

Five whistles, five small bullets, whistling and whistling, flew into the Northern Han army tent.

It turned into a shocking mixed bang.

"This... this is their... that kind of siege artillery..."

Cheng Yuanling still has lingering fears.

The last time I fought with Zhao Dezhao, I gained some confidence from Zhao Dezhao by relying on the large number of people. Now, with an army of [-] million, one general is incompetent, and the entire army is exhausted.

The kings and ministers of the Northern Han Dynasty were all defeated by the artillery fire of the Song Dynasty.

Thirty artillery shells from the front and rear wedged into the overcrowded barracks, killing countless Northern Han soldiers.

Cheng Yuanling turned pale, but the one who was even paler was the king of the Northern Han Dynasty.

So fucking scary!This is no longer human power!
Why don't you come together.Either let Da Song perish, but God is too partial!
If this continues, the whole world will belong to Song Dynasty.

No, it looks like a dark servant is about to be dispatched.

The dark servant is a powerful bodyguard of the Northern Han Dynasty. Because of his ordinary appearance and quiet demeanor, he became a dark servant.

But in fact, he is a secret servant, and he has the ability to kill any princess.

Now, Zhao Dezhao is the first target of the Northern Han King.

He wanted the dark servant to kill Zhao Dezhao as soon as possible, otherwise, with a few more shells, the Northern Han army would be wiped out.

But he overlooked one point, that is, it is daytime.

No matter how powerful the dark waiter is.It doesn't prevent others from seeing him.

The 3 horses who wanted to break through the Great Song Army successfully killed Zhao Dezhao.The difficulty can be imagined.

At this time, there was another slight whistle near the battlefield.

These whistles are nothing to the Great Song Army, but it is different to Cheng Yuanling.

"Your Majesty! Get down!"

Cheng Yuanling had a heart of loyalty to the emperor, but his movements were too slow. The dark servant who hadn't set off took the first step and pushed the King of Northern Han to the ground.

The cannonball exploded, and as a result, the Shadow Servant was killed.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty..." Cheng Yuanling pulled the King of Northern Han up. Fortunately, he was fine, but he was a little scared.

The blood on the servant's body was still dripping on the face of the King of Northern Han.He didn't know it all.

"Come here! Carry the king back to the city, I can't stay here."

Zhao Dezhao bombarded the barracks. Cheng Yuanling and the King of the Northern Han Dynasty had not considered this situation before, but they did not expect that the Song Army could actually bring these cannons into the army under such complicated road conditions.

There was no choice but to withdraw the troops.

Cheng Yuan ordered the death order, and he led the Northern Han King to retreat first, and the others retreated after half an hour, in order to avoid trampling on each other and attracting the attention of the Great Song Army.

Of course Zhao Dezhao noticed the withdrawal of the Northern Han army, but he did not order to pursue, mainly because of the road conditions and fear of ambush.

If the Northern Han people play a tactic, when they are close to chase, they suddenly turn around and fire a wave of bows and arrows, and then counterattack with a wave, then the loss outweighs the gain.

Because the terrain is unfavorable for mobile combat, Zhao Dezhao would feel it was worthless even if he suffered a small loss.

For this group of alien barbarians, Zhao Dezhao would feel bad if even a soldier of the Great Song Dynasty died at their hands.

Anyway, if you have artillery in hand, the worst case scenario is that you can retreat to the city and I will continue to bombard you.

Where a city could be built, the terrain would not be too bad, it would be more comfortable than the wilderness of the southern jungle.

So the whole army of the Northern Han Dynasty retreated to Beining City.Thousands of barbarians who were bombarded to death by artillery in the camp were left behind.

The Great Song Army did not take advantage of the victory to attack, but marched slowly and methodically, which seemed to give the Northern Han endless room for relief, but in fact they had confidence in their hearts.

Of course, more importantly, Zhao Dezhao really needed time.

The artillery is maintained every day to maintain shooting accuracy, and new shells are brought in every day.

Because the climate here is generally humid, in order to keep the ammunition dry.He specially built a large dry basement in Yunzhou.

If the shell is exposed to this climate for more than two days, it may be damp and cause an explosion or even an accident of self-injury.

The hard-trained professional artillery and maintenance personnel cannot easily suffer losses, not to mention wasting time and money. If an accident is really going to happen, everyone knows that doing this is life-threatening, so who would want to do it.

The next day, the Great Song Army arrived late and finally arrived at the city of Beining.But unexpectedly found that this is already an empty city.

Not to mention the defenders of the Northern Han Dynasty in the city, even the original [-] to [-] people were basically coerced by the King of the Northern Han Dynasty to go to the capital Taiyuan.

Those left behind are old, weak, sick, and disabled people who really can't walk.

Zhao Dezhao and the other generals looked at each other. The Northern Han King and Cheng Yuan Ling were really ruthless people. They expected that they would not be able to hold this place, so they emptied the city. Do you mean to fight to the death in Taiyuan, the capital of the Northern Han Dynasty?
Entering the city to set up camp, Zhao Dezhao called the generals to a meeting.

Regarding Taiyuan, the capital of the Northern Han Dynasty, I have actually heard some people say how easy it is to defend but difficult to attack.

Because of this place, it is a gateway, a place where three legs stand.

Before the city gate, there is a natural barrier guarded by two ghosts.

This is not a problem that artillery can solve.

If you want to take Taiyuan, you have to go around the back and attack from the south, but you have to go around the mountain, and you won't be able to get down for three days.

It is also possible that there is an internal response in the city, looking for an opportunity to open the city gate and let people in.

In short, it is very difficult to win Taiyuan.

What's more, there is An Yue's last family property here, with about 4 people.

Zhao Dezhao spent two days resting in Beining City, just looking for the answer to this problem.

Although we haven’t reached Taiyuan yet, there is no need to start worrying about this problem until we reach there.

Zhao Dezhao's idea is that if this problem is not resolved, there is no need to go there.

When my army arrives, there must be a solution.

However, on the second day, some Han Chinese came over.

In fact, there are many famous Han people in Taiyuan.These people did not speak out at the first moment when Zhao Dezhao's influence slowly infiltrated Taiyuan.

Now, everyone has seen the determination and ability of the Great Song Dynasty represented by Zhao Dezhao to recover the dependent countries and unify the north.

As a result, some people finally began to gradually show up and express their thoughts.
