I rebelled in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 89 Bombardment of Yingzhou

This snowstorm lasted longer than Liu Sheng thought.

Mayi crossed the Sanggan River. It was originally only half a day's journey, but it took three days. The entire Sanggan River was frozen and was stronger than reinforced concrete. Liu Sheng felt that it was at least [-] degrees below zero.

Fortunately, Wang Liao purchased a large amount of furs, and Liu Sheng also stopped and went to minimize the damage caused by non-combat attrition in the army. Even so, there were still two thousand sergeants with varying degrees of frostbite. Fortunately, they were discovered in time. .

The blizzard was raging, almost like blinding one's eyes, unable to see anything, just like a blind man trying to feel an elephant. As he slowly walked to Yingzhou City, the wind and snow became lighter.

Liu Sheng also successfully connected with Liang Shouyi.

Liang Shouyi's strategy was completely useless in such a big snowstorm.

It's not that the fighting on the front line is tight, but it's such a heavy snowstorm to deliver food. Not to mention that the Khitan defenders don't believe it, Liang Shouyi himself has a hard time convincing himself.

The team that came to trade horses by pretending to be Shuozhou relied on Yingzhou City and used charcoal sent down from the city in hanging baskets every day to avoid freezing to death.

"General, if we capture Yingzhou City, can we give the defenders a way out?" Liang Shouyi said while rubbing his hands.

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, he would actually develop feelings for the Khitans. Liu Sheng glanced at Liang Shou and said, "This general is not a murderer. As long as they give up resistance, I will give them a way to survive."

Liang Shouyi stepped forward and called the door. No matter how much he screamed, there was no movement at the city gate. However, the Khitan people increased the amount of charcoal they gave Liang Shouyi, thinking that they could not bear the cold.

Liu Sheng circled around Yingzhou City, and the defense was flawless. Even though it was so cold, there were sergeants patrolling the city, leaving almost no gaps.

It is worthy of being retained by Yerunan to guard the garrison, and he has learned a lot from Goudao of Yerunan.

According to Yerunan's habit, there was a heavy snowstorm outside and he couldn't see clearly outside the city. How could he be easily tricked into opening the city gate?

Even if they tricked the city gates into opening, they would be frozen to death if they were not prepared to leave the city due to such a heavy snowstorm. They would have nowhere to escape and would most likely die in the city.

Maybe there is still hope of survival, but fortunately they did not open the city gate, otherwise Liang Shouyi may not have a few cavalry battalions left.

Liu Sheng stood in the distance and watched Yingzhou City. Under the cover of wind and snow, it appeared and disappeared, making it look particularly mysterious.

For a city like this, let alone in this extremely cold and bad weather, the sun is shining brightly. It is expected that Liu Sheng will have [-] new soldiers behind him, and they can attack the city without all the armor.

Even if the entire army is wiped out, he may not be able to occupy a city wall. Liu Sheng has a clear understanding of his own strength.

This is the last year of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is not like the late Ming Dynasty. Both the Khitan and the Song Dynasty have war potential, but the rulers are not good and neglect military affairs.

Let the barbaric Jurchens occupy a gap for a while, otherwise Yelu Dashi would not have been able to go all the way to the west to establish the Western Liao. After being destroyed by the Mongols, he went west to establish the Later Western Liao, and then went west... It can be said that the Mongols They have been chasing the Khitans in the Western Expedition... After the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty was still able to resist the invasion of the Jin people for decades, until the rise of Mongolia later.

It's not about Yue Fei's ability to fight, but the comparison of national power between Song and Jin. No matter what, Jin can't beat Song. As long as the emperor wants to fight and is willing to fight, it is only a matter of time before Jin is destroyed.

Yue Fei was just the best among the many generals in that era. Without Yue Fei, there would still be Li Fei. Whenever the nation is in danger, there will always be someone who sacrifices his life to carry the banner, but the rulers will always suppress them and hate them. Unfortunately, he will not fight if he is angry.

Those who can be left by Yerunan to guard Yingzhou must be elite confidants. Even if the city gate is blown open, there is no talk of surrender. Even if they are fighting each other face to face, they have a numerical advantage. This group of new soldiers who lack armor cannot be defeated by Liu Sheng. I think they can cut down the defenders in the city.

Unless it causes them huge psychological harm at the beginning and creates a non-resistance mentality.

Liu Sheng looked at the rows of cannons with black muzzles behind him. These were human weapons that would make gods tremble.

It's time for the Khitan people to feel the crushing that does not belong to this era again.

Liu Sheng ordered all the guns to be aimed at the city tower. Thanks to the cover of the wind and snow, even though they were 30 meters away, the defenders on the city still did not notice any movement outside the city.

The aim of the fifteen giant cannons was completed. Following Liu Sheng's order, the fifteen giant steel beasts let out a huge roar, followed by the sound of collision and the screams of the Khitans. Without waiting for the Khitans to react, Liu Sheng pointed the cannon at the city gate again.

The whole earth trembled, and the city gate suddenly fell into pieces. The soldiers under the city were just about to run to the city gate, but something happened to the city gate again.

The Khitan troops around them didn't know what was going on, and they all looked at each other in confusion. Some Khitans noticed something strange about the city gate, and under the organization of the centurion, they formed a military formation and headed towards the city gate.

The well-trained artillerymen directly began to clean up the remaining gunpowder in the hall without Liu Sheng's greeting.

Skillfully loaded the chain bombs, and with another loud noise, the Khitan soldiers who were striding forward in neat steps, except for a few unlucky ones, were pushed out of the city gate hole by the huge impact of the chain bombs.

One by one, their bones were broken, their muscles were broken, they vomited blood and fell to the ground.

Sure enough, the heavy armor of this era still had strong protective power, and the chain bullets were not lethal enough to separate the armor on their bodies.

Everyone lay in the snow and kept wailing. The Khitan people who came to check from a distance were frightened by the scene in front of them and fled back in panic.

Liu Sheng did not let anyone chase him, he just stood guard on both sides of the city gate.

The Khitan people on the city were still lying there wailing, and the rest of the people just stood on the city, using the gaps in the wind and snow to try to see clearly what was making the huge noise and fire?

They knew that Shuozhou Army had gunpowder cans and had seen them with their own eyes.

Yerunan also touched it with his own hands and let them feel it.

In order to deal with the gunpowder jars of the Shuozhou Song Army, they also took corresponding measures.

But Shuozhou's gunpowder cans couldn't blow open the city gate at all, let alone throw it on the city gate and blow up the watch tower,

Unexpectedly, Shuozhou had a more powerful killing weapon. It was simply not a sharp weapon that anyone could possess. For a moment, they forgot to resist and did not dare to fight back, for fear of attracting the attention of the Song people and attacking them.

After a while, the city guard arrived. Looking at the soldier who was lying on the ground, vomiting blood and still moaning, he already had an idea in his mind.

Seeing Liu Sheng, they had nothing to say, so they asked all the Khitans to grab their shields and rush forward, shouting: "Their gunpowder cans can't blast our heavy armor at all. When they see the gunpowder cans, they pounce on them with their shields." , it’ll be okay.”

Under the orders of the guard, a large number of Khitan people rushed forward with shields in one hand and swords in the other.
