Chapter 279 Final Trial Clearance!(1/3)
Of course, the so-called "huge" is relative to the Qi army.
For Qi Jun, who had never seen much of the world at this time, the destructive power caused by this shell was terrifying.
The destructive power of solid artillery shells is limited, but at this time, the city defense of Yanjing City is far from comparable to the thick city walls built during the Dasheng Dynasty that were more than ten meters thick and used glutinous rice as adhesive. Therefore, this shot will still explode. There was a gap nearly the size of a person.
Brick fragments were flying on the city wall, and the vibrations were clearly transmitted to the surroundings. The Jin defenders on the city were even shaken to the point where they could no longer stand firm.
Such terrifying power has surpassed the previous returning artillery, and far exceeds all current siege equipment.
In comparison, the stones thrown by the previous man-made trebuchets were like scratching an itch.
But for players such as Li Hongyun, this power is still far inferior to the hot weapons of later generations.
But considering that "Dark Sands" is a historical game after all, we can only endure it.
That's almost it. You can't really rub a nuclear bomb with your hands and shoot it at the monster, right? Then the style of the game has changed.
The joy on General Han Fuyue's face became even stronger: "Okay!
"With such a magical weapon, why worry about not being able to attack Yanjing City? In a few days, we can attack this fortified city!"
"Keep firing at the city wall!"
When attacking a city, there are very few siege battles that actually break through from the city gate. In most cases, breakthroughs are made from the city wall.
Because the city gates are by no means just two thin wooden doors. Behind the heavy wooden doors, there are often several thousand kilograms of iron-wrapped solid wood gates, which are firmly embedded in the grooves of the city wall and controlled by a winch.
What's more, many fortified cities have urns behind their gates. Even if the gates are breached, they will face the dilemma of "catching a turtle in an urn" later.
In this case, storming a certain section of the city wall is a more cost-effective option.
General Han Fuyue was naturally able to clearly judge the situation at this time: with such a magical cannon, he only needed to fire at a certain section of the city wall one after another. The soldiers did not need to attack at all, they only needed to rest in the military camp and wait for work. That’s it.
If the enemy dares to come to the field to fight, then General Han Fuyue can naturally directly kill the Jin people's effective forces in the field; if the enemy does not dare to come to the field to fight, then with the Qi army's abundant logistics and food, they can calmly wait for the artillery to collapse After the city wall, rush directly into the gap.
During the artillery bombardment, the Jin people were almost helpless and had no choice.
Li Hongyun and other players looked at each other and smiled.
"How many days?
"No, General Han.
"Break Yanjing City today!"
Turning around, more cannons were pulled up!
Each Shenji player supervised the construction of a cannon, and then they were all brought to the battlefield together.
Moreover, these officials from the Ministry of Industry secretly took out a few small cannons from nowhere!
These small cannons are not too big in size. They have two legs in the front, which look a bit like a tiger squatting, like the mortars of later generations.
This is the Tiger Crouching Cannon modified by Shenji players!
The barrel of this kind of artillery is slender. Although the range is not far and can only shoot about 500 meters, it weighs only more than 30 kilograms and is flexible. It can be loaded with small and large lead bullets in layers, making it especially suitable for field battles. .
This weapon was originally used by General Deng Yuanjing in the late Dasheng Dynasty to resist bandits, and it appeared on the battlefield of the Qi Dynasty in advance.
Of course, these divine machine players choose it, on the one hand, because it has a wide range of applications and can play a certain role in sieges and field battles, and on the other hand, because of its small size, it can just fit in a divine machine.
Carry it with you wherever you go.
Each Shenji player has a cannon and a squatting cannon.
The cannon requires many soldiers to use it, but these players still need to adjust the angle and ignite it themselves after the soldiers complete operations such as cleaning the barrel and loading the shells.
Because Shenji players have exclusive talents, when using these cannons in person, both accuracy and safety will be greatly improved.
As for the squatting tiger cannons, they were also arranged aside in advance.
These Crouching Tiger Cannons are not intended to be used directly to attack the city, because the range is shorter than that of cannons, and the damage to the city wall is minimal. They have other uses.
The muzzles of several cannons were all aimed at the same section of the city wall.
"fire!"
With an order, the artillery fired!
The heavy solid cannonballs came out of the barrel with a roar, flew out whistling, and kept hitting similar locations on the same section of the city wall!
It was impossible to accurately hit a breach. The artillery at this time did not have such high accuracy. But with the talent and technology of Shenji players, these shells still landed on the city wall.
Within meters.
Let the city wall, whose original structure was already shaken, become even worse!
Stone chips were flying, bricks were falling, and some Jin soldiers were desperately trying to move the stones, bricks, and wood in the city to block the gap. However, they were directly hit by the cannonballs flying from behind and were smashed to pieces.
, limbs flying around.
Under this kind of firepower suppression, both the masonry and the human body will only break into pieces!
Soon, under the concentrated attack of artillery, the gap in the city wall began to expand. From a gap that could only allow one person to pass through, it turned into a huge gap that could accommodate several people.
To blow down the entire city wall, it would only take a few more volleys.
At this moment, a rumbling sound came from the city gate.
The heavy gate slowly rose up!
Immediately afterwards, a large number of Jin soldiers filed out!
A large number of heavy armored cavalry were in front, covered by light cavalry on both sides, and there were a large number of infantry behind.
After these golden soldiers rushed out, the Thousand Jin Gate quickly fell down and the suspension bridge rose again.
And there is a faint devilish aura lingering on them.
General Han Fuyue couldn't help but look solemn: "Protect the artillery!"
Obviously, these Jin soldiers rushed out of the city gate with only one purpose, which was to destroy the Qi army's artillery as much as possible.
The situation at this time, if the Qi army's artillery bombardment is allowed to continue, the city wall will fall sooner or later. Therefore, leaving the city and destroying the artillery at this time is the Jin people's only chance of winning.
Moreover, these golden soldiers have been strengthened by demons. Although they are not as fierce and fearless as the golden soldiers who were directly possessed by demons in the Orderer's Expedition, their fighting will is far stronger than that of ordinary golden soldiers.
The Jin soldiers lowered the Thousand Jin Gate directly after leaving the city, which means that these Jin soldiers are completely a death squad, and they have no intention of returning alive.
But the players have obviously long expected the Jin man's behavior of jumping over the wall in a hurry.
"General Han, ask the soldiers to retreat and hold the line for us!
"Let's deal with these golden soldiers!"
The players handed the cannon to other Qi soldiers and asked them to continue attacking the city wall. They themselves adjusted the position of the Crouching Tiger Cannon and aimed it at the Jin soldiers who were rushing towards them.
"boom!"
"Boom! Boom!"
The players’ squatting cannons opened fire one after another!
A large number of lead bullets are ejected from the Tiger Crouching Cannon. These lead bullets are compacted in layers. There is a large lead bullet at the front of several layers of small lead bullets. It is like a shotgun. It is sprayed out instantly. Several tigers
The squatting artillery formed a terrifying firepower network!
The Jin people's heavy cavalry were still charging, but they were already hit by lead bullets. In an instant, the horses whined and fell down one after another.
The Crouching Tiger Cannon is particularly suitable for dealing with the enemy's dense formations, effectively suppressing their crazy offensive.
After another round of cavalry shooting, even the golden soldiers strengthened by demons had their formation collapsed and became a mess.
General Han Fuyue saw the opportunity and decisively ordered: "Charge!"
The cavalry troops of the Qi army attacked like a whirlwind, sweeping up the remaining clouds and eating up all the remaining Jin soldiers.
During this process, the heavy artillery continued to bombard the city wall all the time, and a large section of the city wall had completely collapsed.
The golden soldiers posted on that section of the city wall also suffered heavy losses. They didn't dare to collect corpses from friendly forces, let alone block the defense line.
"Siege the city!"
The soldiers of the Qi army couldn't wait any longer. When the artillery ceased firing, they swarmed up and attacked the gap in the city wall!
The Jin people quickly reacted and re-defended, but at the gap, the strength of the two sides was no longer proportional.
The Qi army rushed into the city in one go!
The Shenji players headed by Li Hongyun wanted to proudly put their hands on their hips while cleaning up the artillery on the battlefield.
Look, look!
This is the magic player!
Compared to the cavalry players, the Shenji players are more capable of exerting powerful combat effectiveness in this stage of siege warfare.
Not only can they be cast and commanded by soldiers to use powerful artillery to attack the city, but they can also be carried with them to bombard the enemy's dense formations.
Of course, Shenji players are not omnipotent. The artillery they develop in the ultimate trial cannot exceed the current technological level by much, and it requires the support of various financial resources. If they cannot be in a high position, they must mobilize a large amount of resources to ensure that they are certain.
If we have more research and development time, we won't be able to produce these artillery pieces.
In this historical slice, all conditions are just met, and only the magic machine players can play such a big role.
