Chapter 36 The Battle of Kaiyuan City (Part 2)
There were more and more corpses under the city, gradually piled up into a hill, and it was almost piled up to the top of the city.
"The next step of Jiannu will rush up with the corpse. When Jiannu steps onto the pile of corpses, we will set fire!" Gao Shixin said.
There are two turbulent oil cabinets in the city. This primitive flamethrower is still very useful in defending the city. Four people carried a turbulent oil cabinet full of turbulent oil and walked up the city wall, aiming the nozzle at the hill made of coated corpses.
As expected, the Later Jin army was coated in front as cannon fodder, and heavy infantry followed closely behind and walked up to the pile of corpses.
The coated corpses were mixed with the hemp buns filled with soil, and they were piled up to more than eight feet high. The height of Kaiyuan City was only more than ten feet high. Of course, they could not be compared with the world's strong cities such as Xiangyang City, the four feet high Beijing City, and the five feet high Nanjing City. It is precisely because this is a short city that the old slave has the full confidence to break it.
The cannon fodder walking in front was ragged, and everyone was holding a simple wooden shield in their hands. Their function was to block the projectiles for the heavy infantry of the Jianzhou Jurchens behind.
As long as Baoyi walks up to the corpse mountain more than eight feet high and can't even use a ladder, he can climb directly to the top of the city.
"Prepare to light the fire!" Seeing that Baoyi was walking in front of him about to step onto the mountain of corpses, Gao Shixin shouted.
Two soldiers pulled the handle and poured air into the turret cabinet. One soldier held a torch and prepared to ignite the gunpowder in front. To be honest, this turret cabinet is also a very ancient weapon. During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was already a turret cabinet, an old antique like a bed crossbow.
But these old antiques are more reliable than the shoddy firearms made by the Ming Dynasty’s Ministry of Industry!
When the coats stepped onto the pile of corpses, Gao Shixin shouted: "Light!"
These old antiques are not inferior to those of Yuandudu’s bragging about the red cannons that have been destroyed for dozens of miles in one shot! Although the red cannons have a long range, they are too troublesome to load. When this fierce oil cabinet is defending the city, it has a huge lethality. Gao Shi said in confidence.
What kind of shot is flew for dozens of miles? Is it my Ming atomic bomb?
However, the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty at that time had the habit of bragging, and this was not Yuandudu’s specialty.
Take the Battle of Luowan as an example. Zou Weilian wrote in the memorial: The red-haired man went to China for 40,000 miles away. The man had deep eyes, long nose, red beard and red hair, and his nature was thief and thief and even killed him. The barbarians feared him. The boat was fifty feet long, six or seven feet wide, called the plate. There were three layers inside, and they were all placed outside, which could penetrate the stone city and shake dozens of miles. The man and the ship should be crushed. This was because of his great skills in the sea that were poisonous.
The boat is fifty zhang long, six or seven zhang wide. What kind of ship is that? It is 150 meters long, 21 meters wide, and a 10,000-ton giant ship? You should know that the size of the 055 destroyer is only a little larger than this one.
However, according to the Dutch's information, in the Battle of the Liaoluo Bay, the largest Dutch ship was only 45 meters long. According to Zheng Zhilong's report, the boat was 33 meters long. This is quite reliable, because the length of the Ming Chubao ship was 55 meters long, and the actual length was between 60 and 70 meters. Zheng Zhilong said that the 45-meter-long Dutch ship was 33 meters long, and the data was relatively real.
Yuandudu's blowing was even more blowing, and it would be fine if it was furious for dozens of miles, but in five years, he pacified Liao and settled the capital. The reason why Huang Taiji dared to send troops to invade the Ming Dynasty was because Yuandududu was good at killing Mao Wenlong, and no one was restrained in the rear of the Later Jin Dynasty. More importantly, it indirectly led to Kong Youde's rebellion, so he died without any unfairness.
Gao Shixin actually did not like the Red Cannon that was blown magically by Yuandudu. That weapon was originally a kind of naval cannon. It was too heavy and was extremely inconvenient to move. It was not suitable for field combat at all. It was extremely slow to load. It took a long time to fire a shell, which took about five or six minutes. After three to five rounds, it had to cool down, and the cooling time would take more than twenty minutes. Such a cannon could only fire five to six rounds in an hour. Therefore, the Red Cannon could only be used as defending the city and siege.
To truly create a cannon suitable for field combat, a new cannon is needed. The Franco machine has a serious air leakage and its power is actually not very strong. To increase the power of the Franco machine, its weight will increase in a geometric multiple; the range of the Tiger Squat Cannon is too close, which is not ideal.
The soldier's torch came to the copper tube and lit the gunpowder in the fire building, forming a high-temperature area in the fire building. A soldier opened the valve, compressed air to push the turtle oil and sprayed it out of the copper tube. When the turtle oil passed through the fire building, it formed a fire dragon and sprayed it towards the hills piled up by the corpses under the city.
A raging fire immediately ignited on the Corpse Mountain, and the sultry oil splashed onto the Coat. The Coat, which had been on fire, made a heart-wrenching scream, rolling down from the Corpse Mountain, and rolling on the ground with a wailing sound.
Even the heavy armored infantry in the Later Jin behind were attacked by fire. The turbulent oil splashed on them with flames. The cotton armor on their bodies was ignited, and their bodies were caught fire, making them burned into fire people.
Baoyi Aha and the heavily armored infantry of Jianzhou Jurchen retreated, leaving dozens of Baoyi who fell to the ground and wailed.
The hills made of corpses were lit, and a disgusting smell of burnt smell was filled in the air. The hills made of corpses gradually collapsed in the fire, and finally burned into a pile of coke, mixed with the soil flowing out of the burnt sack, forming a short mound under the city.
"So many heads! It's a pity that we can't cut it." Huang Degong shouted in pain and heartbrokenly as he looked at the burned mountain of corpses.
"Look at me!" Man Gui suddenly jumped out, took advantage of the opportunity of the Later Jin army temporarily retreating, jumped from the city wall to the ground, ran across the moat, and began to harvest the corpses that fell outside the moat easily and happily. He quickly cut off his head. Whether it was Jiannu, Mongolian Tartars, or Baoyi, as long as he saw the head of Jin Qian rat-tail, he would cut it off.
The old slave suffered another crushing defeat, but the real Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers did not lose many people. The wild boar skin energy was not damaged, so wouldn’t it lose more than 5,000 coats? What’s the point of losing this coat? If you catch a group of Han Nikan, you’ll make up for it.
However, Kaiyuan City's resistance was so fierce that men, women, young and old had joined forces. After the old slave decided to conquer Kaiyuan, he must massacre the city and kill all the Han people in the city!
After breaking Kaiyuan, you will attack Tieling and conquer Tieling, and you will get another batch of coats. If it really doesn't work, you can also go to North Korea to catch people. Anyway, it's the same to catch North Koreans to be coats.
In short, a section of the moat has been filled out. If you give up the attack like this, all your efforts will be wasted.
"Khan Ama, we have many soldiers, so we should launch attacks from many places. With Baoyi Aha in front and attack from all sides, my Great Jin Warriors followed closely behind. Once Baoyi Aha climbed up, the Great Jin Warriors shot the defenders at the city with arrows. When the Mingdog on the top of the city loads the firearm, my Great Jin Warriors followed Aha and climbed up to the city to break the city." Huang Taiji offered advice.
"Okay, that's it!" The old slave nodded.
To be honest, in addition to the youngest sons of Dorgon and Dodo born to Abahai, the old slave valued the most among the eighth prince Huang Taiji. This son is smart and kind to others, and always has a smile on his face. Although the eldest son Chu Ying is more capable than Huang Taiji, Chu Ying is too high-profile, looking down on all his younger brothers and those who have made contributions in the Jin Dynasty. Because there were too many people offended, he was later reported to delay the fighter's opportunity, and was deprived of power by the old slave. Later, he was ordered to be killed by the old slave.
The most important thing is that Chu Ying once vowed that he would kill all his younger brothers after he ascended the throne.
In order to eliminate future troubles forever, the old slave had to order the killing of his own son with tears. There was no way. The number of people from Jianzhou Jurchens was rare, so how could anyone who could kill his other sons exist?
The Jianzhou Jurchens are just a few people. Once there is civil strife and they are killed by internal friction, the Jin Kingdom will not need anyone to fight, and they will be finished.
The Later Jin army made a little renovation and launched an attack on Kaiyuan City again.
