Troubled Times: Start with 800 Dead Soldiers

It was already the middle of the night, and General Han Yun was sitting on the city wall, soaking in a pot of hot wine, enjoying himself. At this moment, it was even more sleepy.

It was really not easy for him to stand guard at this time.

The soldiers on the side poured him some wine from time to time.

Haizhou Guard General Han Yun said to himself: "It's still a bit cold today."

"Yes, sir, this year is a little strange. It has been a while since the beginning of spring, but why is it still so cold?"

"Do you think Su Xia and the others will capture our Haizhou?"

Han Yun said this without thinking, which made the soldiers on the side a little confused: "Sir, how do I know what you are saying? I think it is impossible to attack from the land. Do you think they can?" Will attack from the sea."

Han Yun burst into laughter after hearing this: "How else could you have been with me for many years and still be a soldier? What a stick. How big a ship would it take to attack from the sea, plus the equipment needed to attack the city, such as trebuchets, Ladders, etc., can we come by boat?"

Seeing Han Yun's disapproval, the soldier hurriedly explained: "General, that's what I said, then Su Xiajun will naturally not be able to get through."

At this moment, just as they were talking, outside the city wall in the distance, with the cooperation of the internal forces, the advance troops had arrived outside Haizhou City one after another.

Now, they are just waiting for the internal forces in the city to take action and launch an attack on the city immediately.

To attack, you have to wait for dawn. As soon as it gets bright, the Su Xia army will launch an attack immediately.

There are never stupid soldiers, only stupid commanders.

Li Dong looked at the tower in the distance and picked up the telescope in his hand.

At this moment, the white color of the sun has not yet been fully exposed, and there is a hint of coldness in the sky.

Fortunately, Su Xia had prepared the necessary things early. The sergeants had already wet their clothes because they landed from the sea. The armor would dry quickly if it got wet, but it was early spring, and clothes soaked in seawater But it's not easy to do.

For this reason, Su Xia prepared tens of thousands of military uniforms in advance, allowing these sergeants to quickly change clothes, replenish food, and then fight after landing.

In Haizhou City, in a newly moved cake shop, someone opened the curtain that blocked the door. This big guy was none other than Shi Jin and Yang Chun who were lurking here half a month ago under Su Xia's orders. et al.

As early as yesterday, he had received a carrier pigeon, secretly ordering him to launch operations early this morning.

These two men infiltrated here with a dozen capable soldiers, preparing to cooperate inside and outside.

Yang Chun looked at Shi Jin aside: "Ten thousand enemies are ready."

(Ten thousand enemies, created by Ma Xiaowu, Ma Xiaowu, first appeared in Chapter 118)

"Okay, take action, kill ten thousand enemies!"

The operations in the city started quickly. Yang Chun ordered his men in groups of three to bring large-scale gunpowder bags with tens of thousands of enemies and placed them at the entrances of the main government offices and military camps in the city, and lit them one after another.

"boom!"

.......

Suddenly there was a loud noise in the city.

Immediately afterwards, there was a second loud noise.

"boom!"

"boom!"

In an instant, a large gap opened in the government office gate.

Zhang Shuye, who had not slept all night and had just taken a nap, was suddenly startled, "What's going on?"

A sergeant came to report in a panic: "Sir, it's not good, it's not good, something happened, there was an explosion in the city, it seems..."

There was already chaos in Haizhou City, and the sound of explosions would certainly cause panic in the hearts of the people.

Han Yun, the general who was drinking on the city wall, was completely awakened from his dream at this moment: "The explosion came from there."

"General, he seems to be from the city."

"How could there be an explosion in the city? Go and find out quickly."

......

Outside the city wall, Ling Zhen looked quite nervous. The mobile battle across the sea prevented the powerful Jinlun Cannon and other heavy equipment from landing for combat. The main force of the battle this time was the built Weiyuan Cannon.

As mentioned before, the Weiyuan Cannon built by Ling Zhen is not particularly powerful, but the range, accuracy, and safety of the barrel explosion are many levels higher than the so-called artillery equipped by the Song Army. .

There is some distance from the naval guns on the coast to Haizhou City, but because the distance is too far, although the naval guns can hit the city, it is easy to accidentally injure the people (after all, Su Xia still wants to occupy these residents), so it cannot be too far. Absolutely.

The preparations for the fifty Weiyuan cannons were completed. Ling Zhen stared at the city wall in the distance, listening to the explosions in the city, and ordered: "Each gun, pay attention, target the city wall, shoot in three groups, and fire in sequence. After lining up, target the outer perimeter of the city wall." The main force point is extended firing, requiring all artillery to pay attention, fire freely, and fire!"

After Ling Zhen finished speaking, the artillery flag bearer immediately started to fly the flag.

Because during the battle, the artillerymen may not be able to understand the commander's orders due to the huge surrounding noise, but with the semaphore on the flag, they will not, at least, be able to convey any instructions clearly.

"Dong dong dong dong dong!"

Cannonballs flew into the air like wild horses that were unbridled, and then hit the city wall.

The artillerymen at the front have set up their artillery only 500 meters away from the city wall. At this distance, the artillery shells almost hit the city wall directly, aiming directly.

The soldiers standing guard on the city wall listened to the rumble of the cannons and were killed before they had time to react.

A Song Army soldier standing on the crenel was directly blown away by the cannon, leaving only the weapon in his hand thrown in the air, and landed next to Han Yun, the defensive general of Haizhou City, frightening the drinking general. A big jump.

Before he could recover, another shell passed by him and landed ten meters away from him. The explosion came and made his ears buzz. The wine glasses on the wine table were waiting for him. Everything was blown to pieces.

He shook his head and grabbed a sergeant: "What's going on?"

The sergeant raised his head in disgrace: "General, no, it's not good, it seems, it seems that Su Xia and Su Xia's army are coming!"

General Han Yundeng was half sober from the wine, "How did they come?"

"No, I don't know. There are too many people...,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,owing,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.

Han Yun ventured his head out, and sure enough, he saw the black Su Xia army outside the city wall.

The offensive formation was neat and orderly, and the leader's flag was easy to recognize, with the word "Protect the Country" written on it.

Han Yun shouted: "Quick, defend!"

However, the fierce shelling had caused the Song army to lose its ability to resist, and at least at this moment, it lost its organizational power.

The Su Xia Army was stunned by the artillery fire. As for the Su Xia Army, the attack duration of the artillery was limited (the barrel cannot fire continuously, and the barrel will be very hot after each gun fires about ten rounds, and there is a risk of exploding the barrel).

While the artillery was extending freely to fire, the infantrymen had already rushed over with ladders in hand.

The extended artillery fire is intended to cut off the enemy's reinforcement route to the city wall.
