Chapter 1504 : On the eve of the storm

After 10,000 elite soldiers set up camp, they settled on a hillside outside the city gate. Xiao Yun accompanied these 10,000 elite soldiers to eat and drink for a while. There was a raised hill in front of them, and the sun was shining, which happened to be

Where he was basking in the sun, he was so polite that he ordered someone to move two chairs, a chessboard, and a chess set, and went up the hill with Geng Bingwen.

Xiao Yun did not expect that due to the high position of this hill, he could see everything in the inner city. Out of curiosity, the two of them looked at it from a distance, and saw that the small Pingjiang City was indeed impregnable, and Zhang Shicheng was defending it with all his soldiers.

Holding a bow and arrow, he stood at the bow position on the city and kept shooting down the city. There were many people behind him.

Stones were raised one after another, and logs were dropped into the city. Many soldiers were holding swords and guns to fight with Xu Da and Chang Yuchun's army. However, those soldiers who used ladders to attack the city were not beheaded by the soldiers on the tower.

, someone overturned the ladder and fell from the high city wall, bringing down a large area and causing many casualties.

After a small attack, they were pushed back by the well-trained Suzhou army in the city.

Xiao Yun looked at the soldiers in the city, who were all fighting hard, and thought of the final result of this battle. If Zhang Shicheng hadn't been short of food and grass, Zhu Yuanzhang might not have been able to capture the city.

A small wave of attacks were quickly killed and retreated. None of the Soochow soldiers in the city relaxed, but concentrated on fighting. Tens of thousands of soldiers stood on the city wall with bows, arrows, swords, and spears, majestic.

"Damn, does this Shicheng really have a good hand?" Xiao Yun sighed a few times, but did not look away, and continued to look. Based on his feeling, the wave of impact just now was just the thunder and lightning on the eve of the war. What happened next?

It's a real storm.

Sure enough, not long after, Huqiu Gate, which had always encountered spring, launched an attack. Dozens of people, led by a soldier, exited something not far from the gate. Xiao Yun had never seen that thing before. At this time,

Looking carefully, that thing is actually made of wood

It is a wooden tower built on the head. The wooden tower has three floors and is about several feet high. There are dozens of soldiers standing on it. What's more powerful is that each floor is equipped with crossbows, fire guns and Xiangyang cannons.

(New artillery). Directly pushed to Pingjiang City?

"It seems that General Chang has used his trump card?" Geng Bingwen said with admiration.

Among all Zhu Yuanzhang's generals, Xu Da was both civil and military and good at strategy, while Chang Yuchun was brave and good at using strange soldiers. What's even more powerful is that there are all kinds of new weapons in the army. When he was ordered to lead the army to attack Quzhou,

, but seeing that the city wall was heavily fortified and impregnable, he immediately led his troops to erect a fence under the city, build a sky flag, and surrounded the six city gates of Quzhou from land and water.

Chang Yuchun also ordered the construction of Lv Gong chariots, fairy bridges, long wooden ladders, lazy dragon claws and other siege weapons, and "swarmed to the city, as high as the clouds, trying to climb the city." He also "attacked in tunnels under the Daximen City."

". Boyan Buhua's pound noodles

The fierce attack on Chang Yuchunbu relied on the strong city wall, "using bundles of reeds and filling oil to burn Lu Gong's chariot, driving a thousand-pound scale to hook a lazy dragon's claw, using a long ax to chop wooden ladders, and building a defensive tunnel to protect the city." The two sides fought fiercely, and Chang

It can't be conquered for a long time in spring.

Later, Chang Yuchun unexpectedly broke in with a surprise force and destroyed his artillery. The siege became urgent. The Yuan army could not support it and sent an envoy to secretly surrender. Quzhou Road Court ordered Zhang Bin to go out of Xiaoximen at night to meet Chang Yuchun's army.

Entering the city. In this way, the Yuan army, which had tens of thousands of soldiers, quickly collapsed. This battle greatly shocked Chang Yuchun.

, Xiao Yun had only heard about it, but had never actually seen it. When he saw his army rolling out the wooden tower, he secretly sighed that Zhang Shicheng was finished this time. Based on visual inspection, the rising wooden tower was much higher than Pingjiang City.

, you can see everything in the city, and really shoot wherever you want, just like the anti-aircraft guns of later generations.

After the army was quiet for a while, a man and a horse came galloping over. The man on the horse was tall and tall, holding a tiger-headed silver spear. He looked majestic, as if he was a general descending from heaven. He stepped forward on horseback and glanced at Pingjiang City. Suddenly, he held a tiger-headed silver spear in his hand.

Pointing towards the city head, he suddenly shouted loudly: "Muta Generals, listen to your orders!"

"General, take your orders!" Everyone on the wooden tower responded in unison.

"It seems that General Chang is going to start a killing spree?" Geng Bingwen said.

Xiao Yun frowned. Chang Yuchun was very good at fighting, but he was also very good at killing people. He would kill after attacking the city. Zhu Yuanzhang warned him seriously many times, and Xu Da advised him many times, but he still didn't know how to restrain himself. But this time, Xiao Yun

Hearing that Zhu Yuanzhang had given him a death order, and that after the city was captured, there should be no more than one person left. Chang Yuchun was extremely loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang, so he did not dare to disobey him, so he held his fists and gave the order.

Just as the two of them were talking, Chang Yuchun who was under the city shouted: "Li Feng, please aim your crossbows, muskets and Xiangyang cannons at the city and hit me hard. Don't stop for a moment. I want these things I don't know."

Everyone knows how powerful I am, Chang Yuchun!"

After the Battle of Poyang Lake, Zhu Yuanzhang saw the power of Chen Youliang's firearms and began to make a batch of firearms. Fire blunderbuss are the most common among them. This batch of firearms are well-cast and exquisitely designed. Compared with the fire blunderbuss of the Yuan Dynasty, they are

The need for gunpowder is greatly reduced. It is 43.5 cm long and has a caliber of 3 cm. It is fired in a group of 2 people. One person is responsible for the support and aiming, and the other is responsible for ignition and shooting. The range is 180 meters. It is equivalent to today's rifle.

, the earliest standard rifle, very powerful. With these things mounted on the wooden tower, Chang Yuchun gave an order, and naturally played a huge role. In addition, there is also a light cannon. These cannons have a long range and are powerful.

They are suitable for siege. These cannons were originally Zhu Yuanzhang's last weapon to deal with the Tatars, but Chang Yuchun couldn't stand his pleading, so he asked for one of them. Now it is mounted on a wooden tower, and its deterrence is extraordinary.

road.

After listening to the order, the artillerymen turned their guns and aimed them at Pingjiang City. With a shout, fire blunderbuss, bows and arrows, and powerful crossbows all shot into Pingjiang City.

The power of the artillery is not small. With the roar of the artillery, the city of Pingjiang exploded with flowers. People fell on their backs and screamed continuously. There were many casualties. Mr. Xiao who saw it in the distance was heartbroken.

“Sure enough, one general’s success can lead to thousands of bones drying up?”
