"Invincible Thunder Cart?" Du Zhongxiao couldn't help but murmur as he watched the Khitan soldiers outside the city build a huge shelf with big wood, and finally install a cannon and push it forward.

After hearing this, Liu Ji hurriedly stepped forward to watch and said, "The waiting-to-order statement is right. Isn't this the invincible thunderbolt chariot that Guo Zhijian has always been trying to make? When the army was about to leave, Guo Zhijian got on the car and told me. The car was really good and used to attack the city. It was simply broken. But it was difficult to transport, and it was broken when it was moving, and it was really difficult to use. I didn't expect the Khitans to think so, using giant wood to skin to protect the cannons."

Du Zhongxiao never denies the benefits of the Invincible Thunderbolt Cars made by Guo Zi, but he really can't use them on the front line, otherwise he would bring a few. Not to mention the troublesome things to use, the cars now cannot even be transported by railways, so they have to be dismantled and reassembled when they arrive at the local area. Whether it is Dangxiang or Khitan, firearms are very rare. Where can I use that kind of thing? Slowly improve, maybe they will be used in more than ten years.

The idea is very common, the key is how to do it. Yelu Chongyuan attacked Tanglong Town, and the cannons could not hit the city wall. Obviously, Yelu Zongzhen heard about it and came up with the corresponding method. He used local materials, used several layers of large wood, built a huge rack, and hid the cannons in it, and pushed them little by little to the city wall. The principle is similar to that of the cart and the nest cart. The history of Chinese wars has been known to everyone.

Seeing the Khitan soldiers pushing the cannon cart across the river, Du Zhongxiao said to Liu Ji: "Send the artillery at the head of the city to shoot a few cannons at the thunder chariot."

Liu Jiyingnuo ordered the artillery at the city gate to fill in ammunition and fired cannons at the Khitan artillery. After firing five or six guns, the cannon truck was fired, but it did not destroy the cannon truck, but it only burst out wood chips, which surprised Du Zhongxiao. The Khitans obviously had to worry about the binding method of the big wood, and it was not just one layer, and ordinary cannons could not be damaged at all.

Du Zhongxiao was shocked when he waved his hand to stop the gunner. The artillery had only appeared for a few years and had fewer actual combat, so he could come up with this method. Obviously, it could not be compared with historical experience. The powerful Eastern powers, coupled with their long-standing war experience, would not be as tortuous as history, and their development speed might be very fast. Although there were many wars in Europe, they were wars between small countries for a long time, and the development speed was not fast. When their national strength increased, they soon entered industrialization. The face of war changed again and again, and in 10 or 20 years it became another appearance. If you adapt a little slowly, you would not be able to keep up with the trend of development. If you confront the Khitan for a long time and make a breakthrough in Khitan technology, you might soon enter the era of artillery warfare. The invincible thunder chariot was going to the battlefield.

A cannon truck protected by a giant tree requires hundreds of people to push it, and the protection can withstand the attack of ordinary artillery. Of course, this way cannot pose a threat to Tanglong Town. It is not easy to break the city wall, and it also has to face artillery fire attacks on the top of the city, not to mention that there are heavy artillery not far away. However, this method is a development direction. The military strength is superior, and it is really changed to iron plate packages, and there is no way to push it later with manpower.

Seeing that the Khitan soldiers were still logging wood and making vehicles outside the city, Liu Ji said to Du Zhongxiao: "Please raise your head, should you concentrate artillery fire and knock out these thunderbolt chariots of the Khitans? They are close, and firing artillery will always be harmful to the city wall."

Du Zhongxiao waved his hand and said, "No need. Order the city to prepare. When the Khitan soldiers push the car forward, they can fire the cart. When the car stops, they can use wedges or directly unload the wheels to prevent the car from moving. When they move, they are going uphill and the people hit behind cannot stop the car from sliding down."

Liu Ji nodded and ordered the soldiers to charge the bullets, prepare their own plans, and follow the military order to fire the gun.

The Khitans were obviously prepared for this pose. Du Zhongxiao was thinking that Yelu Zongzhen was coming. The preparation was so meticulous that the commander didn't come and take a look. Isn't that a pity? As long as Yelu Zongzhen entered the valley, he wouldn't be able to run away.

Yao Shou held a telescope and stared at the Khitan soldiers in the valley from time to time, looking at the city wall from time to time. He didn't know who the Khitan striker was, and the lineup was very neat and everything was in order. The Khitan king came in person, and the vanguard must be no ordinary person.

Du Zhongxiao agreed that Yao Shouxin would pay close attention to the movements of the Khitan in the valley here. If Yelu Zongzhen arrived, the flag on the top of the city would be a horn and fire at the same time. The emperor's etiquette was vast and his clothes were special. As long as Zongzhen arrived, he would be stared at.

Xiao Ala stepped on the broken ice on the ground, watched the soldiers tied up new cannon trucks and were about to push the river, and was anxious. This time he went south, he always felt that it was inappropriate, but he advised him many times, but Yelu Zongzhen refused to listen. Although he had already said that he would not be obsessed with Tanglong Town, and if he had not taken the Khitan, the entire army would go east. He seized the Bitouzhai and Chenjiagukou, and these two strategic areas were enough to boast. But the terrain of Tanglong Town was really dangerous. The military city was on the high ground, and it was difficult to attack. There were Song army flags on the surrounding hills, which obviously occupied them, and I didn't know what to do.

The artillery was an idea that was coming up before leaving. After a quick attempt, he felt it was feasible, so he went to the city of Tanglong Town to make it. Although this car was good, Xiao Ala kept wondering whether it could pose a threat to the military city.

As the uncle of the country, Xiao Ala brought the Pishi Army as the vanguard. Following behind was the Khitan Palace, the central army led by Yelu Yixian, and Yelu Zongzhen and the ministers were all in the central army. The two armies were only half a day away, and the preparations were made here, and Yelu Zongzhen would come to watch the formation.

The sun rose to the sky, without any wind. Although it was the severe winter, it was a bit hot.

Du Zhongxiao stood at the top of the city and watched the Khitan army's actions, and refused to relax at all. Yelu Zongzhen was coming, and there were two key nodes, one was to observe the formation before the war, and the other was to supervise the battle when the war was not effective. The Song army made careful preparations, and Du Zhongxiao did not want to be surprised anymore, but thought that Yelu Zongzhen had just won Dangxiang and was ambitious to go to the valley before the Khitan attacked the city.

At noon, a fast horse came and stopped in front of Xiao Ala, who had been observing the military city in front of the tent. The knight dismounted and crossed his hands: "King, the emperor has entered the valley, please come forward quickly!"

Xiao Ala did not dare to neglect, so he led several generals and rode his horse to meet outside the valley.

Yao Shouju saw it at a high place and suddenly became nervous. Looking at this formation, it is very likely that the Khitan Kingdom was the main person. His artillery came from the north thousands of miles away, but he didn't catch up for a while. Everyone felt a lot of regrets. As the most valued artillery among the Yingtianxiang Army, the highest-level and the largest-expensive artillery, if the battle was not made, it would inevitably make people feel depressed. Only if the Khitan Kingdom could kill the Khitan Kingdom under the city would be worthy of the status of the artillery.

Not long after, I saw a group of high-ranking Khitan officials, who surrounded a noble man into the valley like stars holding the moon, and came straight towards Xiao Ala's commander's tent. Although I had never seen Yelu Zong really look, looking at his ceremonial guard, he would undoubtedly be the Khitan king.

I felt my mouth dry and tongue dry, Yao Shouxin put down his telescope and saw it at the top of the city. He saw the agreed flag, which had been lifted into the air.

Turning around, Yao Shouxin whispered: "Prepare! Do everything according to the rules and follow our military orders!"

Du Zhongxiao's heart thumped and said to Liu Ji: "Can you see clearly? Is the Khitan king here?"

Liu Jidao: "The ceremonial war cannot deceive people. Even if we cannot recognize people, there is only one person who can be used for the ceremonial war between the king and the Khitan!"

Shi Quanbin lay on the top of the city and kept licking his lips: "Okay, okay, the Khitan lord has come in! The Yao army master must be calm and must not make any mistakes! Killing his monarch under the city is far better than the Battle of Chanzhou. Thank God, don't have any accidents!"

Du Zhongxiao took a deep breath and said to Liu Ji: "Order the flag bearer to be prepared. I will order the military order here and immediately wave the flag and fire the cannon! - To prevent accidents, prepare more people next to you, and there must be no mistakes!"

Liu Ji said to Nuo, and went there personally and re-arranged it.

Yelu Zongzhen dismounted, looked at the Tanglong Town Military City on the high side opposite, and said in a deep voice: "A small city like this will defeat my tens of thousands of soldiers. How can I bear this tone? Build more cannons and push the cannons forward, otherwise it will be difficult to relieve my hatred!"

Xiao Ala said: "Officials, how can our cannons be comparable to those of the southern country? One attack and one defense, the strength and weakness are different. According to the opinions of the ministers, they crossed the Yellow River eastward in a day or two. The Song army dared to chase them, and we defeated him in the wild."

Yelu Zongzhen said: "I am not a reckless person, what you said makes sense. If the Song army dares to leave the city, they will not let them go in the wild! - Let's go, let's take a closer look and see what's special about this city, but it can't be captured for more than ten days!"

Xiao Ala was startled and hurriedly said, "Prince, wait, don't go forward! This is the place of battle formation. The Song army doesn't know where there are artillery, and there will be unexpected disasters as soon as they come forward! When the official family comes to watch the formation, the officers and soldiers are all excited, and they will inevitably strive to be the first! There is no need to go forward to watch."

Yelu Yixian on the side also said: "The official family is in a hurry to come, and it is enough to boost morale, and there is no need to come to the dangerous place in person!"

Yelu Zongzhen looked at the military city, hesitated for a while, and said, "Since you say that, that's all. Let's go to the coach and discuss the war."

Several people said that they were surrounded by Yelu Zongzhen and entered the tent of the general, each of them sat down to discuss how to attack Tanglong Town.

Du Zhongxiao held up the telescope and looked at the city without blinking. Seeing Yelu Zongzhen and others entering the commander's tent, he said to Liu Ji: "It's easy to get into the commander's tent. If they are outside, they can't get a few shots even if they get on the horse quickly. If they enter the tent, they will be unable to escape!"

After saying that, he looked at Liu Ji and whispered: "Fire!"

Liu Ji repeated the cannon with a loud voice, raised his arm and slashed it hard. He had been waiting for the command soldiers at the top of the city to sway the small flags in his hand.

Yao Shouxin saw the order flag and breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, his heartbeat accelerated, his blood surged, raised the order flag and said loudly: "Fire the cannon!"

While issuing orders, the flag in his hand slashed heavily.

After half a day, although he was still motionless, the artillery artillery seemed to have run away from countless mountain roads, and everyone was extremely tired. After receiving the order for the artillery, the medicine twists were lit almost at the same time. The artillery on one side prepared their own plans, some prepared artillery shells, some prepared gunpowder, and some prepared clearing the chamber.

The twenty-eight heavy artillery roared almost at the same time, and the earth was trembling within several miles nearby. As the thick smoke rose, the whistling shells flew towards the Khitan tent. They fell to the ground. After a short period of tranquility, the core of the flowering bullet ignited the explosives inside and made a loud noise.

The distance of more than 800 steps was more than 100 steps, and the position of the coach's tent was specially corrected. Although the battle was not very accurate, the number was enough. Although the center was slightly deviated from the coach's tent, twenty-eight shells covered dozens of feet of area, and all of them were blown to pieces, including the coach's tent.

The artillery at the artillery position did not stop and urgently cleared the chamber and loaded the ammunition. Before the Khitan army reacted, the second round of artillery arrived again. Five rapid fires were fired in a row, and Yao Shouxin's artillery stopped. While the artillery splashed water to cool down, the artillery urgently corrected the position again.

Above the city, seeing the Khitan tent as the center, there was a fire and smoke, and no one walked around. Du Zhongxiao let out a sigh: "Even if the body of steel is in danger, it will not escape the death of death this time! This round of cannons will be remembered forever!"

Liu Jidao: "Without any soldier or soldier being injured, the Khitan king was killed under the city. In the future, the world will know that cannons are the king of the battlefield!"
